"I'm going with you."

"I'm just going to get more pain killers for Jacqueline Leo, I'll be fine."

"They are out there. Do you not understand that? She will stop at nothing! She's worse than…"

"I think I can handle her." Jade scoffed as she walked up the stairs. Leonardo grabbed her arm and turned her around as she stumbled on a step falling on him.

"Will you just let go of your stupid pride for one second and listen to me?" He said shaking her a bit. She narrowed her eyes on his as she stood with her body pressed tightly against his.

"Fine. Then come with me. Either way, I'm going out and getting medicine for Jac." He let go of her arms as she smoothed out of shirt.

"Fine. C'mon." He said walking past her. She rolled her eyes following him as they made their way through the sewer pipes to a manhole. They climbed the latter as Jade went first feeling for anything around her. She felt a couple people passing by, but no threat. She pushed up and slid open the manhole cover as she peered her head out. The soft summer wind hit her face as she closed her eyes from the cooling feeling of her sweat on her forehead. She climbing up the latter as Leonardo followed. He jumped up to the nearest fire escape, climbing it to the roof top. That was his plan to followed Jade on the roof tops as she walked to a drug store.

She kept to alleyways for Leo's sake even though he insisted she stayed to the streets. She was stubborn and he couldn't tell her what to do from where he was now. If she did get into trouble he couldn't possible just jump down in the middle of the street with people around. At least this way they'd be secluded. Also, it'll be easier for her to use her powers. A smirk played at her lips as she thought about using her powers on Karai when she saw her as she entered the drug store. It smelt like a doctor's office as she went through the pain reliever isle.

Leonardo waited outside on the opposite roof top watching Jade walk back and forth in the isle, disappearing and reappearing in the window. He sighed to himself as he looked around, searching the streets and roof tops for anything. He'd feel something if something was going to happen; Jade would broadcast it onto him. He sighed as he positioned himself on the ledge of the roof top.

"What is taking so long?" He said under his breath.

He saw her smiled and thanked the cashier as she walked back onto the street. She looked both ways before running into the alleyway between the two buildings, one of which Leo was watching her from. He sighed in relief as she made her way to the nearest manhole cover.

Jade started walking a little faster than she like as she felt something from behind her, watching her. She knew Leo was around, she could feel him but she felt something else, something she couldn't grasp. Walking a little faster now she collided with someone dropping the bag of medicine. The guy picked it up for her with a smile as their eyes met. She furrowed her brow as they grasped onto her arms and pushed her into the nearest entryway of a building.

Leonardo stopped on the ledge of a roof top scanning the alleyway ahead of him for Jade as he caught up to her. She wasn't there, he could feel her anxious reaction to something he just couldn't see what. He growled slamming his fists down on the ledge and jumped another roof.

"Jade, they're after you. I'm so glad I finally found you!" He said as he grasped his lips around hers. She winced at first as confusion took over her senses. She searched their thoughts and found nothing coming back to her different. He felt right; it felt right, like him but something in her stomach kept screaming at her to run. He finally pulled away as she looked into his eyes. "Baby, we need to get out of here, we need to find the guys. Those things that you're with, they're not us. I'm Leo." He said as he looked at her uncertain reaction. She shook her head.

"No, Leo is…He turned back, a month ago….Leo wouldn't have taken this long to find me on the street." She pulled away from him and shook her head. "No, you're not…It's not…You're not Leo."

"I am." He said following her and trying to grab her hand. She narrowed her eyes pushing him away with her powers as she held him against a wall.

"No, you're not."

She was tackled from the side from a familiar roar of irritation as she focused on the man pinning her to the cold concrete.

"I think my brother is tryin' to tell you somethin'." The human form of Raphael said. She narrowed her eyes spitting in his face as she kicked him off of her pushing them both back with her powers. She ran down another alleyway as Donatello jumped out in front of her.

"Going somewhereJune?" He asked with a cocky smirk as he leaned against his bo staff. She narrowed her eyes backing up slowly and turning around as Michelangelo spun his nunchakus beside him.

She shook her head as they all started to circle her. Leonardo stepped forward as she held him back, throwing her arm out towards him with an open palm. He smirked slightly as he was unable to move towards her anymore. She kept them in place turning around and running through the maze of alleyways that turned large approaching brick wall. She pressed her back against the cold bricks as they all stalked towards her. Her eyes raced furiously over them as Leonardo took out his katana that was strapped to his back.

"You can't hold us back forever Jade. We'll find you sooner or later." He said in a low voice as her body trembled to it. She closed her eyes pressing her head against the bricks, trying to clam her mind. She pushed her hand out again with a grunt as her eyes flashed violet. The boys fell back in the alleyway as she looked above her at the shimmering metal of a fire escape. She leaped up grasping onto the cold bars, pulling herself up and over them.

She looked down as they readjusted themselves, Leonardo locking eyes with her as a sinister smirk went across his face. She turned around climbing up to the roof as a chill came through her body and that ripple in her senses felt all too real. She chocked back tears as she turned around to run back to the lair over the roof tops.

Her scream echoed through the city as Leonardo grasped his arms around her. She had to adjust for a minuet before she calmed down and took him in.

"Leo…" She said softly before wrapping her arms around his shoulder as he stumbled back from her forceful hug. He patted her back slowly with a confused look on his face as she pulled back pressing her lips against his.

This kiss made her knees weak and body yearn for these lips and only these lips to touch hers again. The fake feeling that ran through her body before as put to shame from the one ranging through it now. She clenched her eyes tightly as he pulled her body closer to his, her chest pressing tightly against his before he loosened and let go.

"Where did you go? I was following you and then…"

"We need to leave." She said catching her breath.

"Let's go." He said as his voice changed to serious, taking her hand as they ran the roof tops back to the manhole they emerged from.

"Well, what the hell do we do now? We can't possible go back to her with nothin'." Raphael said as he fixed his clothing.

"Believe me, she'll get something." Leonardo smirked as he saw Jade disappear on the roof tops.

"Wait…so you're tellin' me that they looked just like we did when we were humans." Raph said as Jade nodded her head for the third time. "Bullshit."

"I don't know how, but it's true. You tackled me, Donnie and Mikey both cornered me, I saw it. They were you, but not you, you, the human you." Jade said as she looked over the confused faces of the turtles and her sisters.

Jacqueline sat up with a wince from the couch as she positioned herself on the edge. She had been taking a good amount of pain killers, and Donnie patched up the wound perfectly. It was no just a matter of her dealing with the pain of moving.

"You saw this?" Jac asked as Jade nodded again. "There's two Raph's?" She said with a slight smirk. Jade rolled her eyes throwing a potato chip at her.

"Not the point Jacqueline!"

"Oh, of course. But, seriously…two?" Raphael rolled his eyes now as he tapped her in the back of the head as he sat on the arm of the couch. "Ow…"

"Thank you Raph." Jade said as Jac light a flame to her finger singeing his skin. He hissed as he put his hand over it.

"Stop doin' that!"

"Stop makin' me mad!"

"Because that's so hard to do!" Raph spat back as he got up from the arm of the couch facing her. Jade threw another chip at them.

"Shut up and listen! Jesus, you two are like an old married couple." Jade said as she popped a chip in her mouth.

"Well, what are we going to do?" Mikey asked as Leo looked over at the pairs of eyes on him. He looked towards Jade as she looked back just as confused to the situation.

"We have to figure this out. Get to the source of what is…"

"Oh believe me I have a scar on my stomach to know who the source is. Bitch better be prepared for the next installment." Jac said crossing her arms.

"You're not ready to fight." Jade sighed.

"Fuck that. I am fighting if it kills me."

"It just might if you don't let yourself heal first."

"We can wait." Lexine suggested. "Let's just stay down here until Jac feels better than go top side. I mean, it should only take a day or two more for the stitches to come out." She shrugged as Jac nodded her head.

"Seriously, we can stay here then once this shit is done we go top side and burn a bitch." Jac smirked as she pounded fists with Raph.

"You can't take revenge out on…"

"Are you kiddin me? Fuck yeah I can, and damn straight I will! She cut me Jade! Cut me with a fuckin' katana! I'm not just gonna let that pass me by. I see her she's dead."

"If Jac doesn't finish it, I will." Raph added. "She's lucky she got away the first time."

"The first time?" Lexine asked as she looked from Raphael over to Donnie. He nodded his head.

"We encountered Karai once before. A while back, the first time we thought we killed the Shredder. They sent for her in Japan, where she runs the Foot there."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa…" Fiona interjected. "There is more than just the Foot here?"

"The Foot came from Japan and were brought here." Donnie shrugged. "Saki brought them here when he came to look for Yoshi."

"So what happened last time?" Lexine asked.

"We fought her from the Foot headquarters to about 5th street. Roof tops, running all the way. She took us there for a reason I guess? Foot waited for us to arrive and they attacked at once. I was stuck with Karai as they tired to beat off the Foot." Leo said as he nodded his head towards his brothers.

Jade looked at Leonardo's expression as he changed suddenly to mentioning her name. His eyes went confused, soft and then back to being angry. She narrowed her eyes slightly as she searched his thoughts. She saw the night playing out in his head.

The raw animalistic feeling he got as he fought off her katana with his own. The way she looked down at him as she was able to drop him on his shell. The way he looked at her as their bodies touched, her hand slowly sliding out from his. She felt the way his heart had leaped as he noticed she had disappeared, the perfect execution of the art of invisibility.

Leonardo looked over at Jade as she looked over towards Lexine. She saw her sisters eyes meet hers and furrowed her brow for a moment.

"What is it?"

"Leo…Karai, they had a moment I guess you could call it."

"A moment?"

"I don't know I just read his mind and saw something, now I feel sick."

"Ok, well let's not over react this was a long time ago and they were most likely teenagers and you know how teenage boys are. I mean especially in their case. They never got contact with someone of the opposite sex until us."

"I suppose."

"Leo loves you."

Jade smiled at her sister as Lexine nodded her head. Fiona crossed her arms nudging her twin as Lexi looked over at her.

"I want in." Fiona said looking over at Jade.

"I'll tell you later."

"Do you think you can go without changing for day or two?" Donnie asked the girls as they shrugged.

"If you don't mind the smell." Fiona said.

"You can still shower Fe." Jade said walking over to Jacqueline.

"Totally knew that." Fiona said as Jade looked over her shoulder with a smile. She kneeled down in front of Jacqueline as she raised an eyebrow.

"What?"

"Nothing." Jade shrugged. Jac rolled her eyes leaning up with a wince as she went closer to her sister.

"What?" She asked again as Jade sighed. "See, knew it was somethin'." Jade looked up at her with a smile.

"Leo, he…"

"I know, I heard."

"Oh yeah, you're getting better with that now huh?"

"Yeah. I saw something similar with that in Raph's head the other night. Before this happened. I'm with Lexine with this one. Leo loves you and wouldn't jeopardize somethin' with you for that bitch and if he does, he's an idiot and I'm pretty sure his family would disown him." Jade snorted back a laugh as Jacqueline started laughed too, holding her side.

"Ow…" She said as she leaned back against the couch.

"C'mon, my beds more comfortable than this thing." Raphael said as he came up from behind Jade. She moved out of the way as Raph slipped Jac in his arms, picking her up gently from the couch. She smirked as their eyes met and he hoisted her body up closer to his. She wrapped her arms tighter around his shoulders as she felt his muscles felt under her palm, as he started for the stairs and up to his room.

Jade watched with a smile as she took Jac's seat on the couch. She watched Leo cross the room, as he picked his head up to the feel of her eyes on him. She avoid eye contact again as he sighed, going over to her.

"What?" He asked as she looked up at him.

"What?" She asked back taking her hand from over her mouth as she held her head up with her elbow.

"You keep avoiding eye contact, why?"

"You and Karai."

"What about us?" Jade raised her eyebrow as he used "us" to describe them.

"Nothing." She said turning her head away from him.

"Come with me." He said holding out his hand. She looked at it and up at him.

"Why?"

"Cause I don't want to fight down here." He said bluntly. She narrowed her eyes getting up from the couch without using his hand. He rolled his eyes as he followed her up the stairs to his room.

"Fight about what?" She said before he could even close the door.

"What did you see?"

"What?"

"I know you, you read something in my mind you didn't like now tell me what you saw."

"You and Karai. The way you looked at her, how she looked at you that stupid feeling you got in your chest as she disappeared. Something about being the perfect ninja?" Jade said using her hands in emphasis to how ridiculous it sounded to her. "If that's what you want, than fine. Go and get it. I'm not stopping you." Jade said crossing her arms.

"What I want?" He asked with a look of confusion on his face as he stepped towards her.

"Well, apparently you don't want a mutant with powers but some bitch ninja without honor that can just do little disappearing acts."

"I was sixteen." Leo sighed.

"So?"

"Do you know what happens to a sixteen year old?" He asked taking a step closer. "I had never been kissed until you kissed me. So think about what her looking at me the way she did, did to me then. It, at the time was something I never felt before, and yeah I got a feeling of something for her for a moment. It went away when I turned around and saw my brothers laying hurt and bleeding on the roof top around me. She did that to them, to my family and that feeling went away as quickly as it happened. You are all I could ever want." Jade smiled as Leo took a step closer to her.

She put her head down to the stupid idea of jealousy still lingering in the back of her mind. She was still in his, for all these years of him waiting for Karai to come back now she was. Leonardo had Jade now to have all his feelings be of her, all his attentiveness with his feelings to be with her.

Karai had been a lustful icon he used when he was younger, now he actually experienced it with Jade. She was able to give it to him when all Karai gave him was an idea of it. Jade smirked as Leo glided his hands slowly down her arms.

"I'm sorry, I just got a little jealous." She sighed. "I know you like Asian girls and…"

"Wait…what?" He said as a smirk went to his face.

"You like Asian girls….Donnie told me a while ago. You used to always find the most attractive girls to be of Asian ethnicity. It's ok." She shrugged. "I mean the way you were raised and since you have such a high respect for Japanese culture I could only image you'd like them." Leo chuckled as he pressed his lips against hers.

"I love you." He said as his eyes met her. She smiled kissing him again.

"Are you sure? Because I don't want to have to die my hair black." She said running her fingers through her long honey color hair. He smirked taking her hand and pulling her towards as she caught herself on his shoulder. Her lips landing on his as she smiled against them.

"You're very attentive lately." Jacqueline smiled as Raphael placed her soft on his bed. He raised an eye ridge to her as he took a step back crossing his arms.

"I don't hafta be."

"Yes you do, otherwise I'd kick your ass."

"No you wouldn't."

"Well, if I could actually move I would." She said with a shrug. He smirked sitting next to her as she ran her hand slowly down his arm. "You alright bud, you seem distracted?" He shrugged as he started to slide his knee pads off. She placed her head down on the pillow as she watched him. The way his muscles flexed to the pressure he applied to push them down, now moving to his elbow pads.

"I wasn't there." He sighed.

"You weren't where?" He looked at her as if she just said the most obscene thing imaginable. "What?" He motioned towards her stomach as she looked down to her side feeling the stitches slowly with her finger tips. "Oh."

"This wouldn't have happened."

"I'm alright."

"Yeah, but what if she went too far? What if someone pushed you and you fell more into the blade and…"

Jacqueline grabbed Raphael's arm pulling him on her as he caught himself on the pillow above her head. She placed her hand on the back of his neck as she forced his lips to go on hers. He pulled back slowly glaring at her as she wouldn't let go.

"You're not gonna distract me that easily." He said holding himself above her, making sure not to push down on her body too much.

"I could try somethin' else." She smirked as he leaned up. "Raph I'm fine."

"Not the point!"

"Yes it is the point! Yeah, you could have been there, yeah I could have died and yeah to a million other things that could have happened in my life but never did! This is one of them. I'm fine, I'm right here next to you and I'm not goin' anywhere. Believe me, you can't get rid of my that easily." She smirked as she tugged on his arm again as he resisted to lay back. "Stop bein' a stubborn ass and lay with me."

"You're needy when you're wounded." He said as he got on the other side of her near the brick wall. She smirked, pushing her body closer to his as he draped his arm over her stomach, laying his head on her shoulder. "I promise nothin' is gonna happen to you again." He said softly as she turned her head to look at him.

"Raph you don't…"

"Shut up. Yeah I do. Otherwise I'm gonna be killin' myself over this. I can't take it to have another damn thing happen to you and I ain't there to prevent it." He said leaning up on his elbow. She pulled him back down over her as her lips grazed against his.

"Thank you." She said softly as he pressed her lips against his. He held himself over her, able to push his lips down on hers deepening their kiss as she moved her hands to the back of his neck, gripping her finger tips into his shoulder muscles. She moaned softly, clenching her eyes tight as she moved her body to push up against his. He pulled away from her lips slowly looking down at her waist.

"You're gonna hurt yourself."

"It's wroth it." She smiled as he shook his head with a smile of his own kissing her again.
