At that moment the turtles burst into the training room.

"Guys! No! She'll see you!" screamed the girl worriedly.

"Wait. You know about them?" you asked puzzled.

"Everybody calm down," said Donni, helping the girl up "This is April, April this is Y/N."

She huffed before saying a small "Hi." You giggled. You would have done the exact same thing. 'Lets see how they react to this.' you thought. "Sorry, I thought you where someone that wondered in by accident.

She looked up at you shocked at your sudden mood change. You internally smirked at her expression. "Can we start over?" you said smiling sweetly as you held out your hand.

She contemplated for a few seconds before taking your hand and returning the smile with a "Sure."

"Good. Any friend of my family is a friend of mine." you said bowing slightly as you looked at the shocked expressions of your "cousins", giving a small smirk when you saw Raphael's baffled expression, you gave him a small wink before turning back to April.

"Family?" April asked questioningly.

"Y/N is our sort of cousin." said Mikey between bites of pizza.

"Where did that pizza come from, I thought you finished it." you asked now being the baffled one.

"Oh, Casey and I brought it." said April, gesturing to the boy slowly waking up on the floor.

"Oh!" you exclaimed, walking towards his awakening form, holding out your hand as he lifted his head. "Here, let me help you up."

He took your hand wearily. "Sorry about pushing you against the wall and using you as a human bowling ball." you said giggling before suddenly turning serious. "But don't sneak up behind me again. If you do, I'm not responsible for any injuries that may occur." you said letting go of his hand.

He snuffed. "Ya, like you'd be able to get the jump on me again." You looked at him threw your (e/c) eyes and smirked. "We'll see."

You turned to look at the turtles before walking towards the door and stopping just before you where over the threshold "One thing you should know about me. I'm all about reactions."

You slowly walked out of the room, where lots of whispering soon ensued, and towards the dojo.

Nobody's pov.

"So, she's your cousin?" asked Casey, who was still staring wide eyed at the door.

"Yup. She's one scary Dudette." Mikey commented threw a mouthful of mushroom pizza.

"I think she's kinda hot." commented Casey without thinking. he looked everyone as his cheeks turned a light pink.

'Ya, you heard me."

For some unknown reason Raph started glaring at him.

"She seems nice, once you get past the 'I'll kill you' attitude." Said April with a friendly look on the face. "What do you think of her Donni?"

"She may be as scary as Raph." Donni replied in a whisper, so that only April heard. but to his dismay, he as tackled into a noogie.

"Nobody is as scary as me." Said Raph angrily.

"Raph's right," commented Leo with a barely held back grin "The only thing scarier would be Shredder with a wig and a dress on."

The boys all burst out into laughter, as April just smiled and shook her head.

"Boys."

Y/N pov.

You heard laughing from down the corridor as you walked into the dojo with a small smile on your face. A smile that was dissolved quickly as you found your uncle slowly getting up from his meditative trance.

You helped him to stand up before speaking "Are you ok, Oji-chan" You saw him smile as you used the Japanese word for Uncle.

"I am fine. I was just surprised that Miwa is still alive, and is so close, but I am most over-joyed." he looked at you with a smile, a smile that you returned for just a second, before casting your eyes down with a frown.

"What is wrong my niece?" you looked into his eyes sadly. "Well, I never finished the story." he looked at you worriedly, before ushering you to sit down.

You both sat down before you continued your story. " After Shredder burnt down your house and stole Miwa, my parents found out what had happened, and opposed his plans. Then, one night, when I was 5, I as asleep in my room, when I heard yelling. So, I snuck downstairs and my parents where having an argument with Shredder. They where saying something about the foot and how he was a disgrace when. when he...he." you stopped and looked down, tears falling from your eyes. Splinter held you close, as he did the boys when they needed comforting. After a minute or two, you pulled away and continued your heart breaking story.

"He killed my father, and I screamed out for him. My mother saw me and tried to run to me. But Shredder got hold of her. She screamed for me to get the papers in her bedroom draw and give them to Uncle Kaito, before he," you took a shaky breath, "before he slit her throat."

"That is a horrible thing for anyone to endure, let alone a 5 year old. I am sorry Y/N,"

You looked down sadly. "Yes, well, that was the reason I decided to learn Ninjutsu. I ran to get the papers, which I found to be my passport and visa, and while Shredder looked for me in my parents room, I snuck out the bathroom window and ran to find my Uncle Kaito. He booked us a flight to England, and 14 hours later we arrived. As soon as we got there, I asked Uncle Kaito to teach me Ninjutsu, and he agreed that it would be good for defence if Shredder came looking for me. So, he enrolled me in school and taught me Ninjutsu every night, he taught me mediation as a way to study. It was the best time I had ever had." you smiled at the thought.

"It sounds like you enjoyed England." Splinter replied with a happy smile.

"I did for a while, but two years ago, just before my 13th birthday, Shredder found out we had moved to England. So he flew over and Uncle Kaito had an 'accident' at work the next day." you used quotation marks around the word 'accident'. "After that I dropped out of school and did as many Jobs as I could manage so I could save up in case I had to move again. I watched Shredder every night and learnt the katas he taught Karai, and that's how I found out you where in New York." you said sounding a little happier, "One night a foot soldier told Shredder that they had hacked into your bank account and found out you had bought a ticket to New York. By then I had saved up about 20 000 pounds, so bought a plane ticket and bribed someone to let me fly without an adult, rented an apartment and enrolled in school. Now I'm an IT genius and a straight A student."

"I am sorry you had to go threw so much in such a short space of time," Splinter said sadly "but at least you are doing well in school, perhaps you could talk to Donatello about all the things you have learnt. Maybe you could teach one another a thing or two."

"That sounds like fun. I have to admit, it was kind of hard, but it got easier," you said happily "and I did find you, so I guess it was sort of worth it." you smiled up at him happily.

You where grateful for the family you had found. And you would not let Shredder take them away from you. Even if it got to the point of you having to risk your own life.
