hey guys! here's the next chapter! enjoy! don't forget to review!


"Sheesh. What's with Master Shredder?" the Foot Ninja asked as he walked into a room.

"Ah, you must be new." said a Foot Ninja, one of Shredder's top students, said. "There's a story behind it."

"Tell me!" said the first.

"Years ago Master Shredder had a daughter named Kiko." the second began. "When Kiko was seven they went to some caves and then it happened..."

"What?!" said the first.

"There was a rockslide and Kiko was crushed under the rock pile." said the second. "Master Shredder still grieves over her."

"Oh..." said the first.


The fight was over...

The turtles barely managed escape.

"Whoa..." the word escaped from Kiko's lips before she could stop it.

Five Foot Ninjas pinned her to the ground.

One held a katana at her throat.

"Who are you?!" he demanded.

"I'm Kiko!" the girl yelled. "Oroku Kiko!"

The ninja dropped his katana.

The others immediately let her up.

Kiko was ready to run.

"Wait!" said a Foot Ninja.

"You father is Oroku Saki?" he said.

"How do you know his name?" Kiko asked.

Her fear was gone, but her curiosity spiked.

She hadn't heard about her father in years...

"Come with us." the Foot Ninja said.

Somehow, Kiko trusted him and followed the ninjas.


"Master Shredder!" a Foot Ninja called. "Master Shredder!"

"I told you to get out!" Shredder yelled.

"But-!" the Foot Ninja tried to say.

Shredder growled.

"Kiko!" he burst out.

"What?!" Shredder yelled but with a but of curiosity in his voice.

"She's alive!" the Foot Ninja said.

"That's impossible!" Shredder didn't want to recall the death of his daughter.

"No, she is!" the Foot Ninja said. "Come see for yourself."

Shredder wondered if the ninja had gone insane but followed him anyway.

He walked into the main room in his lair.

The other Foot Ninjas left the room.

He saw her.

A girl with long dark hair, deep brown eyes, and ruby red lips.

He looked into her eyes.

He knew those eyes, curious, full of wonder, excitement and danger all at the same time.

"Kiko...?" he almost whispered.

Kiko was nervous, looking around frantically.

Shredder walked up to her and did something no one had ever seen him do.

He gently brushed his hand down her cheek. "It's me..."

"Dad..." Kiko whispered.

Tears filled her eyes.

All those long years...

She hugged him.

After making sure no one was looking, Shredder returned the hug to his beloved daughter.


The turtles sat down in front of a huge pizza.

Mikey took a huge piece. "Mmmmmm."

"Hey you know what's weird." Raph said as he took a bite of his slice.

"What?" Leo asked.

"I felt like I was being watched." he said.

"Hey me too." Donnie said.

"Yeah." Mikey said.

"Weird..." Leo said.

They finished the pizza.

Several years later...


Leo's katana collided with Kiko's dagger.

The other turtles were fighting a swarm of Foot Ninjas.

Kiko had changed a lot in the past three years.

Her father had taught her well. (just so you know, Kiko has an outfit similar to Karai's in the 2012 version)

The dagger and katana pulled apart then collided again.

The fight had lasted a while.

Until... Leo had Kiko pinned up against the wall and held a katana at her throat.

Leo thought for a moment.

Either kill her now and keep the secret safe or risk everything.

Kiko cringed, waiting for blood to shed.

But it never happened.

Leo dropped the katana.

He had caused plenty of injuries to his enemies but he had never taken a life.

And he wasn't about to start.

Kiko looked at him for a moment before disappearing along with the army of Foot Ninjas.

"You just let her go?!" Raph yelled. "Dude! Do you ANY idea what's gonna happen now!?"

Leo wanted to yell beck but he knew Raph was right.

Mikey and Donnie hadn't said a word the whole way home.

"She knows where the lair is!" Raph continued. "And you just let her go!"

Only moments before the battle Kiko had discovered the lair's location.

"If that was me up there-!" Raph started again.

"What?!" Leo snapped. "You would have mercilessly slashed a helpless person's throat?!"

"Helpless?!" Raph snarled. "She's a highly trained Kunoichi with armor and a dagger! You call that helpless!?"

"He has a point..." Donnie chimed in.

Mikey nodded.

Leo growled. "I'd like to have seen you do it then!"

Raph was about to yell something else but decided it was pointless.

Leo would just come up with another excuse.

They reached a manhole cover.

Mikey lifted it up. "You comin' bro?"

Donnie and Raph had already gone in but Leo hesitated.

"I'll catch up with you guys later." he said.

" 'Kay." Mikey said.

Leo pushed the manhole cover back over the hole after his brother jumped in.

He needed to be away from his brothers, especially Raph.

Couldn't they tell that he didn't have the heart to kill somebody?

He walked a little ways down the street.

If only they saw the look in Kiko's eyes when he let her go...

It was a look of surprise and eternal gratefulness.

She was strange. Years ago she must have joined the Foot Clan and became one of Shredder's top students.

But again... she was strange... something was going on that he couldn't explain.

Suddenly a person wearing a hood over their face appeared.

Leo prepared for attack but two other people wearing hoods pinned him down.

One took a nun-chuck and wacked on the back of Leo's head causing him to loose consciousness...
