Chapter Five: Training Begins

I looked at Master Splinter then bowed to him "Let's see what you know." He suddenly disappeared and then I felt as he tried to trip me from under using his tail. I quickly jumped and went to kick him but he was gone again. He then struck me on the arm and I winced a bit holding it in pain but then went to strike him again.

Gone again... Amazing!

I saw him out of the corner of my eye try to hit me from the side but I did a back flip over him and landed on my feet. We went back and forth slicing through the air. Throwing attacks on one another. Sometimes he would get me and I got him none of the times. By the end, I laid on the floor exhausted. He appeared over me completely calm. He started to laugh "Kitsune... Ran has taught you well but it obvious that she hasn't fully trained you... Has she not given you a weapon yet?" I got up,still out of breath.

"No Sensei... She said I wasn't ready..."

"Do you think you are ready?"

"Well no since Sensei Oba told me I wasn't"

Splinter shook his head "She said you weren't ready for the world because of what you wanted..."

I looked at my feet "Well I am not so mad at the humans anymore because well...Oba was one and I love her and I don't want to hate her..."

Splinter nodded "I think you are indeed ready..."

He hands me a long sword with a white handle and a black covering "This is one of my favorite Dōtanukis. You will be learning how to use it... I'll let you play with it a bit while I stand here..."

I gently pulled the blade out of the case and saw the silver blade with a black dragon design on it. "It's beautiful..." I slice the air a bit. It slides across the air easily

"Wow this is amazing! Thank you Hamato!" I hug him gently and place it on my belt. I got to leave the room when he grabs my hand.

"Kitsune... I wanted to also give you this..." He handed me a bright turquoise cloth with two holes in it. "It's a mask... I figured you were jealous of the guys masks and weapons so I got you it... I didn't know your favorite color so I asked Mikey to help me pick out the color..." I looked at him. I didn't think Mikey cared about that stuff.

I put on the mask and tied it in the back. I took my nasty hair out of the ponytail. I looked in the mirror and turned my head to one side. The cloth ran down my back boringly. I smiled as I got an idea.

I ran back into where the guys were and stood there.

"What do you guys think?" The guys just look at me. Mikey's eyes widen and Raph's jaw dropped. Leo smiled and Donnie just stood there.

"You...Your mask...Your hair...So pretty..." Mikey said.

"Sexy bitch!" Raph laughed as he looked at me. "Love the look!"

I smiled as I hugged each of them. "Thanks guys!"
