Mystery from His Past
Ch 5
One afternoon Leo, his brothers, Angel, Casey, and April were eating their pizza in silence. Leo watched as Karai and Lotus entered the pizza parlor and sighed. He shook his head and bit into his pizza and sipped his soda.
Raphael realized he had finished his soda already and decided to get up to get a refill. As he filled his cup he glared at Karai with his eyes crossed in anger. She looked up and glared back at him. When he finished filling his cup he sat back down by his brothers and friends. He called to their elder brother.
"Leo look up and see the sign across her brow. Can't you at least try to approach Lotus and let her know who you are? You're the only one that will convince her that she's on our side and not her sister's. We saw her fight years ago and she basically kicked your shell in."
He got up and ignored his brother while he refilled his soda. While he refilled his soda he stared at Lotus who was biting into her pizza and sighed. Then he saw her get up and watched as she walked to the soda machine to refill her and Karai's sodas. As he covered his soda she spoke to him as she looked at his light brown eyes behind his mask.
"You seem awfully familiar. Where have I seen you before; have we met? There's something about you that just reminded me of someone I cared for years ago; but then my mind goes blank. Well my name is Lotus; do you have a name just in case we meet again?"
At that he gulped as he gazed into her soft brown eyes. Then he shook his head and walked back to their table and drank his soda in silence. She watched him as he sipped his soda and sighed as she covered her soda. Karai realized it was Leonardo and smiled slyly as her sister sat back down across from her.
"Did that guy jog any part of your memory sister dear? Was there something you remembered when your eyes met? Well answer the question."
Lotus looked up and asked.
"Why are you asking me that question Karai? Do you know who that guy was?"
Karai sipped her soda and responded.
"Yes as a matter of a fact I do know who he was. He is one of the murderous green freaks that killed our father with his rat master!! We will avenge our father when you get your memory back Lotus; I can't do it alone!"
Lotus nodded her head in agreement.
"Yes we will; I just need to brush up on my ninja training and then we can attack them together! They will feel the wrath of the honorable foot."
Karai turned around and glared at Leo with her eyes slanted in anger. He looked up and glared dead at her as he clenched his fists. Angel realized how mad he was and asked.
"Karai knows it's you doesn't she? If she knows it's you then why isn't she telling her sister? "
He shrugged as they walked to the counter and paid. Then he looked at her and sighed.
"Don't worry about it Angel. She will tell her soon enough and we'll face our hardest battle. Since we fought Shredder on his space ship. But be aware we will be ready when they attack and that I swear that on my honor!"
She sighed as they headed out of the door.
"Ok Leo whatever you say. I'll just drop it and wait and see her make her move!"
He smiled and nodded his head.
"That was very wise Angel. See you pay attention to your lessons and learn from my teachings. Come on Angel let's get you home before your grandma has my shell on a silver platter!"
She laughed and they headed to Angel's door. Her grandma answered and smiled.
"Thank you Leonardo for getting her back before her curfew. See you tomorrow. Bye now and be careful the foot are everywhere!"
He looked and then disappeared into the shadows as he headed back to the lair. Raph waited for him at the entrance and asked.
"Bro did she remember you? I mean I saw the way she stared at you through the band."
He shrugged and responded. Then they entered the lair and seen everyone was asleep already.
"I doubt it bro. She's bent on revenge just like her dishonorable sister! Raph stop will ya! Lotus in the enemy and that's final! I'm going to bed goodnight Raph see you in the morning."
He entered his room and removed his belt. Then he clicked his fan on and got in his bed; and fell asleep instantly. Raph checked on him and then his brothers. Finally he checked on their Sensei and covered him with his blanket. As he exited Splinter's room he clicked on the fan and decided to turn in himself.
