Click, click, click, click-

The rapid succession brought Kira back to conciousness with the feeling of annoyance as she tried to identify the clicking sound. It took a moment for her sleep muddled mind to realise that she was in the lab. Donatello's lab. On the cot in the far corner. Alone.

Which could only mean that her new brother was awake and working on his computer. Which explained all of that stupid clicking she was hearing. Rolling over on the bed, she wiped at her eyes with one hand while watching her new brother work. It was amazing really that Donatello could type so fast. Hell, it was amazing that he could type at all.

His fingers had to be much to thick for a conventional computer keyboard. Which puzzled her a bit. If his fingers were to thick for a conventional keyboard; then what sort of keyboard was he using? Was it a new model? Something that had just come out?

She didn't get it. But she didn't really question it. Not aloud anyways.

In the past two weeks she had learned that in order to spare herself from some of Donatello's lectures, she simply had to avoid certain questions. Asking about the mechanics of something that Don had possibly invented to use with his computer seemed to fall under the catagory of 'don't ask'.

Groaning Don sat back in his chair and stretched his arms up over his head, popping his shoulders and fingers before popping his neck and reaching for the coffee mug he kept with him as he turned in his chair and finally noticed that she was awake. "Kira, you're awake." He said as he put his mug back down and got up so that he could cross the room and loom over her.

One of his hands going straight for her dark hair and brushing the dark strands in her face, back, so that it rested over her slender shoulder. Right over her spine. "Did you sleep okay? Anymore nightmares?" He asked, concern coloring his tone. His dark brown eyes taking on a golden copper hue in the faint light.

Kira shook her head slowly and lifted a hand to rub at her eyes, still feeling a bit drowsy from her lack of sleep the night before.

He smiled down at her and stroked her hair a little bit, marveling at the downy softness of it as it slipped from between his fingers. It was as soft as a rabbits fur. Or the fur of a small kitten. He heard someone clear their throat from somewhere behind him and paused in mid stroke so that he could look over his shoulder at the intruder and saw Leo standing in the doorway to his lab.

"Breakfast is ready you two." Leo said in a bemused tone.

Don nodded his head and backed up so that Leo could come into the lab and get her so that he could carry her to the breakfast table since the fuzzy slipers they had gotten for her the other day had supposedly been destroyed by a freak flood in the bathroom. Where one had been flushed (or so they thought) down the toilet, and the other has simply been floating in the toilet water- shredded by a pair of scissors.

Apparently- they all mused- Kira held a deep rooted hatred of all things fuzzy. Which was why whenever they saw Klunk making a beeline toward her, they snatched the yellow tabby up and sent him on his way in the opposit direction of her.

Leo stopped next to the cot and leaned down and slipped his arms around Kira's small body and smiled a bit when he felt her little arms come up to wrap around his neck. "Hey Kira-chan-" Leo greeted as he settled her in his arms. His voice warm and sweet like honey. "Ready for breakfast?" He asked, only to have her lay her head on his shoulder and try to stiffle a yawn.

Making him chuckle in amusement as he made his way out of the lab, pausing only long enough to peer over Kira's head to see if Don was coming. Don walked past him muttering under his breath about something when Leo fell into step behind him.

Leaving Leo to fill the silence by talking to Kira. "Guess what we're going to do today kiddo?"

Kira lifted her head from his shoulder slightly and looked up at him as if to say, "What?"

"After breakfast master Splinter and the rest of us are going to sit down with you and watch movies. All Disney, all day. And you get to pick the order we watch them in." He said in an tone meant to entice her. But all it did was seem to turn her off of the idea if the way she dropped her head back to his shoulder was any indication at all.

Frowning he patted her back and tried again. "Come on. It'll be fun." only to have Kira shut him down by rubbing her face back and forth against his shoulder with a little shake of her head.

"Okay so if you don't want to watch any Disney movies then what do you want to do?" He asked curiously, hoping to get her to speak. It didn't work, dammit. She was still as silent as a grave. Sighing Leo shifted his hold on her slightly and thought to himself, Well today is going to be a blast.
