A/N thank you all for the wonderful reviews. I love them. Here's ch 18 for you and as always see ch 1 for disclaimer
Ch 18 A S hocking Realization
The group turned and saw Karai standing in the middle of the room, her sword drawn. "Joō Karai, naze anata wa watashitachi o tomemashita ka? (Mistress Karai why did you stop us?)" Keno asked, the surprise clear in his voice. "Watashi wa karera ga shinde hoshī to omotta (I thought you wanted them dead.)"
"Watashi ga yarimasu (I do,)" Karai declared, glaring at the turtles and their friends. "Shikashi, watashi wa sorera o korosu mono ni naritai. Tokuni kare! (But I want to be the one that kills them. Especially him!)" Karai pointed her swords towards Leo when she said this part.
"Shikashi, joō (But Mistress,)" Keno began. But he was cut off by Karai's shout.
"Watashi to Keno to ronsō shinaide kudasai! (Do not argue with me Keno!)" the teen snarled, the rage and anger coming out. "Watashi wa ima tantō shite imasunode, kuchi o shimete kudasai! (I am in charge now so shut your damn mouth!)"
"Musume wa anata no ikari ga anata no yaru koto o shihai suru koto wa dekimasen (Daughter do not let your anger take control over what you do,)" Shredder said, hoping Karai wouldn't mention Hamato Yoshi. But that hope didn't last long.
"Watashi wa chichioya ni kinishinai! (I don't care Father!)" Karai snarled. "Karera wa naganen ni watari Hamato Yoshi no moto de kunren shite kimashita! Kare ga kakusu no o tasuke, kare ga nani o shita no ka shitte imasu! Karera wa shi niataisuru! Soshite, watashi wa sorera o korosu hito niataisuru! (They've been training under Hamato Yoshi for years! Helping him hide, knowing what he did! They deserve to die! And I deserve to be the one that kills them!)"
"Kare wa machigatta Karai o nani mo shinakatta! (He didn't do anything wrong Karai!)" Leo shouted, making sure he used Japanese so that Keno could fully understand what was happening. "Anata no hahaoya o koroshita otoko ni fukushū shitainara, kare wa anata no sugu tonari ni tatte imasu! (If you want revenge on the man who murdered your mother he's standing right next to you!)"
"Kare wa anata ni uso o tsuita Karai! (He lied to you Karai!)" Donnie chimed in. "Anata wa shureddā no musumede wa arimasen! Anata wa Hamato Yoshi no musume Miwa! Shureddā wa anata no hontō no chichioya kara anata o nusunda! Kare wa Hamato Yoshi Ryō-sande wanai satsujin-shada! (You're not the Shredder's daughter! You're Hamato Yoshi's daughter, Miwa! Shredder stole you from your true father! He's the murderer not Hamato Yoshi!)"
"Uso-tsuki! (Liar!)" Karai shouted, kicking Donnie hard in the chest.
"Kare wa shinjitsu o kataru joō (He speaks the truth Mistress,)" Hiro spoke up, causing everyone to look at him. "Watashi wa Nihon no chīsana otokonokodatta toki o oboete imasu. Watashinochichi wa, nipponzenkoku de saikō no ninjutsu-shi no moto de watashi o oboete kuremashita. Watashi wa kare kara ōku o mananda. Soshite watashi wa kare no shinsetsude utsukushī tsuma, tō shen o oboete imasu. Kanojo wa watashi ni totemo shinsetsudeshita. Watashi wa kanojo o kesshite wasuremasen. Soshite anata wa kanojo no yō ni miemasu. (I remember when when I was a small boy in Japan. My father took me to learn under the best Ninjitsu Master in all of Japan: Hamato Yoshi. I learned much from him. And I remember his kind, beautiful wife: Tang Shen. She was so kind to me. I will never forget her. And you look just like her.)" Karai stared at Hiro, her brown eyes wide.
"Īe (No,)" she whispered, lowering her sword. "Īe, soreha shinjitsude wa arimasen (No it can't be true.)"
"Kare wa anata ni uso o tsuite iru Karai (He's lying to you Karai)," Shredder said. "Kare wa anata ga watashi ni se o muke saseyou to shite iru. Kare no uso ga anata ni watashi no musume o yusabutte wa ikenai (He's trying to get you to turn against me. Don't let his lies sway you my daughter.)"
"Kare wa uso o tsuite inai (He is not lying,)" another Guard chimed in. "Hiro to watashi wa ryōhō tomo Hamato Yoshi no shita de kunren o ukemashita. Watashi wa mata, tō shen o oboete imasu. Soshite, kanojo wa machigainaku tsumadatta. (Hiro and I both trained under Hamato Yoshi. I also remember Tang Shen. And she was most definitely his wife.)"
"Karera ga itte iru koto wa subete shinjitsuna nodesu ka? (So everything that they have been saying is the truth?)" Keno said, turning towards the Shredder. "Hamato Yoshi wa ikite ori, anata wa satsujin-shadesu ka? (Hamato Yoshi is alive and you are a murderer?)" Keno's voice was raising as he spoke the anger clear in his voice.
"Ima watashitachi wa nani o issho ni itte iru ka o mimasu ka? (Now do you see what we have been saying all along?!)" Hiro demanded, glaring at Keno.
"Watashi wa son'nani bakada (I am such a fool,)" Keno said, shaking his head. "Anata ga Hiro o shinjite inai koto o yurushitekudasai (Please forgive me for not believing you Hiro.)"
"Sukunakutomo anata wa ima anata no kankaku ni kimashita (At least you have come to your senses now,)" Hiro said with a slight smile. Keno smiled back. But then his face quickly turned serious.
"Watashitachiha Hamato Yoshi's Ryō no musuko-tachi to tatakau! (We fight with Hamato Yoshi's sons!)" Keno shouted. "Shureddā wa mohaya watashitachi no shujinde wa arimasen! (The Shredder is no longer our master!)"
"Nani?! (What?!)" Shredder boomed, the fury clear in his voice. "Anata wa anata no shujin ni chōsen shimasu ka? (You dare go against your master?!)"
"Watashitachi wa mohaya anata ni hōshi shimasen! (We no longer serve you,)" Keno said, glaring at the armor clad man. "Anata wa fumeiyona satsujin-shadeari, usotsukidesu! Watashitachi no shin no masutā wa, tsuneni Hamato Yoshi! Watashitachi wa kare to kare no kazoku o hōshi suru! (You are a dishonorable murderer and a liar! Our true master is and always will be Hamato Yoshi! We serve him and his family!)"
"Watashi wa anata ni dōi dekinakatta (I could not agree with you more,)" a voice cried out. Suddenly Splinter came swooping onto the scene, kicking Shredder hard and sending the armor clad man flying backwards into the wall.
"No!" Bradford cried out, his blue eyes filled with anger and rage upon seeing his master get taken down. "You'll pay for that rat!" With that Bradford and Tiger Claw charged towards Splinter, their weapons drawn. But they were quickly intercepted by Keno, who easily took the tiger and the brown bearded man down.
"Arigatōgozaimashita (Thank you,)" Splinter said, after the initial shock wore off. Keno turned towards Splinter and bowed. When he raised his head and fully saw Splinter's mutant rat state his black eyes went wide.
"Masutā Yoshi? (Master Yoshi?)" Keno asked, clearly shocked at what he was seeing.
"Hai (Yes,)" Splinter said, once again surprised at Keno's actions. "Watashi wa Hamato Yoshi. (I am Hamato Yoshi.)"
"Watashi wa kare ga ikite iru to itta (I told you he was alive,)" Hiro said, suddenly appearing next to Keno. "Anata wa ima Keno ni nani o iwanakereba naranai nodesu ka? (What do you have to say now Keno?)"
"Watashi ga jibun no me de sore o minai to, watashi wa sore o shinjimasen (If I were not seeing it with my own eyes I would not believe it,)" Keno whispered.
"Watashi wa shinjitsu o tsutaete iru to itta (I told you we were telling the truth,)" Leo said, approaching Keno with Mikey, Raph, Donnie, April and Casey right behind him. Mikey was holding his injured plastron and Donnie was holding his broken arm close.
"Oshietekudasai (Please tell me,)" Keno said, looking at Donnie. "Kito wa daijōbudesuka? Kare ga inakereba tae rarenakatta (Is Kito alright? I could not bear it if he were not.)" Donnie began to respond but before he could suddenly Raph let out a cry of both pain and surprise as he fell to the ground. Gasping the group saw Shredder standing there with Bradford, Tiger Claw and his Foot Bots behind him.
"Watashi wa mada anata o tōrinukeru wakede wanai (I am not through with you yet,)" Shredder growled, extending his blades and swinging them, aiming directly for the still down Raph. He did this so quickly that hardly anyone had time to react. But Leo was watching and he jumped in front of his red masked brother, his katanas in front of him. But Shredder's blades were so sharp they cut right through his katanas and they sliced right down Leo's plastron. Leo cried out in pain and fell to his knees as the blood trickled down his chest.
"Leo!" Mikey, Donnie, Raph, Casey and April cried out, their eyes wide.
"Leonardo!" Splinter and Hiro cried out, their eyes also wide.
"Īe! (No!)" Keno cried out, charging towards Shredder, his sword out. The other guards saw what just happened and they raced to help. Keno and Shredder connected and it wasn't long before Shredder got the upper hand. The other guards were trying to help Keno but Bradford, Tiger Claw and the Foot Bots prevented them from doing so. The only one that wasn't helping Shredder was Karai. The teen was standing off to the side watching what was happening and trying to decide if she should help or not.
"Joyū Karai (Mistress Karai please,)" Hiro called out as he dodged Shredder's blow "Kimi no chikara ga hitsuyōna nda (We need your help.)"
"Watashi no musume wa kesshite watashi o uragiranai! (My daughter will never betray me!)" Shredder boomed as he swung once again at Hiro. Only this time he didn't miss and his blades sliced down Hiro's arm. The to add insult to injury Shredder kicked Hiro as hard as he could in Hiro's already injured chest causing more blood to flow.
"Karai is not your daughter!" Leo cried out, having recovered from his previous hit. "She's Splinter's daughter." Splinter's eyes went wide with shock as he heard his son's words. The brown coated rat stared at Karai and then realized what Leo was saying was true. Karai was indeed his daughter, Miwa. She look so much like Tang Shen that there was no denying it. But Splinter couldn't speak. Somehow the right words to say escaped him. But as it turned out Splinter didn't need to say anything. Then Leo turned towards Karai and cried, "Karai help us! You know the right thing to do!"
"I..." Karai stammered, looking from Leo to Shredder. "I..can't. I'm sorry Leo but I just can't." With that Karai turned and began to run out of the room. But she stopped when a figure jumped down in front of her, blocking her path. Karai's brown eyes went wide as she saw who it was that was in front of her.
