Chapter 6: Blades and Beauties

Raph's jaw dropped. sitting up against the opposite wall were two female turtles. One was a emerald shade of green with short red-brown hair and golden-amber-brown eyes, her shell was umber-brown. The other female looked like a sea turtle...her skin was sort of creamy with light yellow-green markings, she had long fire yellow-blond hair with orange and red bangs. Her eyes were light blue and sparkled with mischief. Her shell appeared to be a sort of redish-brown.

"Hi" pipped the sea turtle. The other one looked at her irritably.

"I'm Jade that's Adar," Jade muttered, indicating who they were.

"Uh...hi?" Raph replied after a moment. He quickly noticed that his Sais were gone and that he had been stripped down to his skin and shell. That made him just a tad bit uneasy.

"Either of ya know what happen to ma stuff?" Raph asked bitterly.

"They put you in here like that," pipped Adar, blue eyes sparkling. Raph felt his skin crawl a bit and felt heat rise in his cheeks. Well isn't that just great...I've had two girls checking me out for who knows how long...Shell...Leo next time I see you you're going to hurt...

"They took my blades..." muttered Jade, "They took me forever to make..."

"You're a fighter?" Raph asked.

"Yeah she's great with those obsisa blades of her's!" exclaimed Adar.

"Obsidian...Ob-sid-i-an!!!" growled Jade, smaking Adar over the head.

"Ow!!" Adar yelped, "Ok sorry..." Raph couldn't help but chuckle. She's kinda like Mikey...

"Ok let me get this straight...we're all being taken by this Johnson guy to who knows where...where'd he find you two?" Raph asked as he examined the crate for signs of weakness. He grinned when he saw that there was a weak spot.

"Well at least we know the jerk's name now," muttered Jade.

"You know in Jamaica Jerk means 'hot and spicy'," giggled Adar, eyeing Raph. Jade rolled her eyes and Raph felt a blush rise a bit instantly embarased, relieved that he wasn't facing them.

"I'm guessing that means your from Jamaica?" Raph asked.

"No...I just like reading a lot about cultures," babbled Adar. Jade gave her an annoyed look.

"We're from Florida," Jade sighed, looking at Adar, "She's...she's my sister." Raph looked at them critically, an eye ridge raised.

"Adopted," Jade said quickly. Raph nodded and went back to the crate.

"What's your name then?" Jade demanded," and what are you doing?"

"Raphael, getting out," Raph replied, slamming his fist into the weak spot and grinning as it cracked and splintered under his fist.

Leo was sitting on a log by a fire, his bowl of stew cradled in one hand. Rose was sitting on the ground, her head resting on his knee, half asleep. The boys were off to the side alternating between flinging pieces of their stew at each other and eating it. A sharp look from their father sent them instantly to doing the later. Lenora had firmly planted herself on her father's lap and was shooting her brother's annoyed looks when their food got on her. Don anf Fawn were curled up together, Don desipte holding up a good front was looking very worried, he was swerlling his spoon in the stew and hadn't touched it yet. April and Casey were sitting together, Casey looked frustrated and worried while April looked just plain worried. Mike was sprawled on his stomach the only reason anyone could tell that he was worried was that he kept getting up and pacing.

"WOULD SOMEBODY SAY SOMETHING!" Mike shouted suddenly. They all jumped, Jake looked around at the startled expresions on everyone's faces with a look of utter confussion. Luke quickly explained via hand gestures when he noticed his brother's distress. Leo looked at Mike for a second and sighed.

"Mike...I'm worried too...we all are...but until tomorrow we can't do anything...we can start off in the morning...The kids and Fawn are staying with April at the farm house...and they are going to behave as if I were there...is. that. clear?" Leo growled shooting the kids all a warning glace, his hands fluttering in quick movements to explain to Jake. They all nodded quickly.

"Mike...Leo's going to try and contact Raph in the morning," Don managed. Mike gave them a frustrated look. Jake jumped up and hugged Mike's legs suddenly, amking them all blink in tugged on Mike's belt until Mike looked at him. Jake made a few quick hand gestures afte Mike looked down. Mike just looked confused.

"Leo what?" Mike asked despretly, his eyes questioning.

"He says, Big uncle is strong," Leo chuckled, "he means Raph is strong enough to fight and protect himself." Jake made a few more hand movements.

"Nasty blades quick," Leo translated, "Did he see Raph use his Sais?"

Don nodded, "Yeah, you know Raph flipping them in the air all the time." Leo smiled.

"Leo how do you say 'thanks and your right'?" Mike asked. Leo got up setting his bowl on the log and placeing Lenora nest to her mother. He quickly walked over to Mike and took his hands, moving them slowly. Jake grinned excitedly, his hands fluttering quickly. Mike laughed. After a few minutes they all learned a few things.

"Every little tilt of the hand and angle of the finger means something to him," April said quietly. Leo nodded.

"It took forever to figure stuff out for him...but we figured it out," Rose sighed.

The next Morning...

Leo came out of the forest. His swords were sheathed on his back but on his belt were two short but deadly looking knives. Raph's Sais were there as well, they had found them on the side of the road earlier that morning as well as Raph's other attire. Leo had wrapped Raph's mask around his wrist too. His abdomin was still wrapped up but he was moving easier then the other day. Mike whistled.

"Nice blades bro..." he laughed. Leo grinned. Don nodded in aggreament.

They pulled into the farm house drive way a few hours later only to stop and pull out quickly. Trucks and vans were everywhere, Johnson's trucks. Luckily none saw them.

"Guess we're coming with," sighed Fawn. Leo gritted his teeth and Don looked anxious, but they knew she was right, they were going to have to stick together.
