Hey readers! How's life?
Great? Good.
Bad? Don't worry it will get better.
So I went to shop for fabrics today, and the whole thing always leaves me exhausted even though I only buy one or two things hehe.
Anyway, enjoy the chapter and don't forget to review!
Disclaimer: I do not own the TMNT series but I have made the OC's. I don't like to say 'own' because I feel like a creepy master…

Raph carried Iori on his back as Donnie did Hatchi, racing through the sewer with Mikey in the lead. Before this they had to thoroughly convince Hatchi that the sewer did in fact lead to their home.
"No way in hell I'm going down there." She pointed her finger and lifted her upper part of her lip in a sneer. "Hatchi just get down there, trust me its safe." Iori sighed. Hatchi sucked on her teeth before jumping down, careful to not slip or lose balance. Iori and the turtles followed suit, and Iori held in a laugh when Hatchi slowly raised her hand to her nose and side-eyed her. "It smells better further down." Raph grumbled. Hatchi heard him, "If you say so."
"Come on guys let's go." Iori climbed onto Raph's back and looked back at Hatchi to jump on another. Mikey eagerly went over and tried to throw her on his back, but she wasn't buying it. "Come on, sweet cakes, this is a special seat." He patted the back of his shell. "As much as I love the offer, I don't think I like the way your hands are positioned."
She looked at Donnie, "I'll get on your back, if you don't mind." Donnie's breath hitched before nodding and bending down to let her on. "I swear more of your friends need to visit so I could carry them." Mikey sulked.
Hatchi smirked, "Don't worry Mikey; next time I'll make sure I'll make you give me a ride." She winked at him making his face go pink; Raph swore that was the fastest Mikey had ever shut up. With that they ran off into the sewer lines, going through the tunnels and laneways like an amusement ride.
They finally made it to the front door, and Raph and Donnie let the girls down before putting a finger to their lips. "Now we have to be extra quiet before Leo and Splinter even know we're here." Raph whispered hoarsely. "Yeah veeeery quiet." Mikey said. "Mikey!" Raph and Donnie shushed him, making him shrug and slowly open the door.
The door creaked open and they five sneaked inside. "Now Hatchi you have to promise me you'll hide until we-"Donnie was interrupted by the loud alarms going off and ringing around the lair. Hatchi covered her ears, "What the hell is that?" "Oh I forgot the computer and security system isn't aware of your presence." Donnie mentally cursed himself. How could he be so stupid to not take off the security system for a minute? The five then heard Leo's footsteps getting closer, so out of panic, Iori simply pushed Hatchi behind her and was guarded by the three turtles.
Leo rushed into the room, "What's going on? Who triggered the alarm?" Donnie nervously gulped and tried his best to formulate a lie, "The alarm must've had an error in the system. I'll check it out later." Leo eyed him, Raph, and Mikey suspiciously, "Why are you three standing in front of Iori like that?" "Iori, who's that?" Mikey asked, chuckling nervously.
Leo wasted no time pushing his brothers aside to see Iori and…an afro behind her? Leo blinked, "Iori, who's that behind you?" Iori looked around and whistled, "Who, I don't see anybody." "Well of course not they're behind you." "Oh, really? I think you're confusing it for a…tail! Yes a tail, I just grew it this morning."
A muffled voice could be heard from her back, "Goddamn could you let me out of your asscheeks? If they get any bigger I might die from suffocation." Hatchi pushed Iori out the way and got up, brushing herself off. Iori rubbed her butt, "It's not that big…" she grumbled.
Leo decided to ignore the conversation and narrowed his eyes at Hatchi. He walked closer so his height would tower over her, hopefully intimidating her. "What are you doing here?" His voice was low and dark. Even though he thought he was intimidating her, she unfortunately ruined his mindset.
"Hello there, my name is Hanastanni but everyone calls me Hatchi. I see you've met my bestie Iori and her fat ass. I mean look at that thing; seriously have you ever tried smacking it?" She gave Iori's butt a smack earning a yelp and a malice-toned "Hatchi!" The other turtles looked with shock and Mikey stared at her, mumbling "Oh God…" She snickered and notice a faint blush on Leo's cheeks before it quickly went away.
"Uh, anyways why are you here? You have no permis-"
"Uhm well I found her in the locator so I was going out to find her, but Raph wouldn't let me go so we agreed to all go together while you and Master Splinter were medititating and found her. Don't worry though, she's not staying she just came to check on me since it took a long time for my communicator to lock on to a signal."
Iori watched Leo's face soften a bit when she addressed him, but it soon went back to hard when he turned to Raph. "You let her go without telling me or Master Splinter?" his voice was stern.
Raph growled, "Well she certainly wasn't leaving alone at this hour, and with crime going how it is? She needed protection."
"She needed to stay here where it was safe."
"And leave her friend? God knows if her friend was injured or dead. She was only checking for fuck's sake!"
The two started arguing over why Hatchi was brought there and the 'she could've put us at risk' and 'Iori was making sure she was safe.' They continued arguing, with the Donnie and Mikey cutting in until a roaring voice could be heard.
"Leonardo, Raphael, enough!" The room fell silent as Master Splinter stepped in. He pushed past Mikey and Donnie to grab Raph by the neck and slam him against the wall with his tail.
"You should have notified me or Leonardo when you were leaving. We could have been attacked without protection during meditation."
Raph grunted and looked away, and Splinter looked towards Leonardo, "You should not be so harsh to guests. If she says she is a friend of Iori then she is trustworthy." Leo opened his mouth to say something but closed it as Splinter did the same thing to Donnie and Mikey as he did for Raph for leaving as well. He calmly walked over to Hatchi and opened his hand to her. "Any friend of Iori is a friend of mine. My name is Master Splinter, and I see you've already met my boys: Michelangelo, Donatello, Raphael, and Leonardo. Though your visit was unexpected, you may visit Miss Nyeki and us whenever you'd like. Our home is open to you."
She nodded and grabbed his hand with a smile, shaking it, "It's very nice meeting you, Sir. And don't worry, I'll be back to visit and make sure Iori's acting right. If you need me to beat her up, call me anytime." Iori sucked her teeth at Hatchi.
Hatchi laughed, "Well it was certainly nice meeting you all, but I must be going. I was on my way to the suite I bought out and I must go to it. Iori if you ever need to get away from the entire male' in here feel free to drop by for awhile. I'll send you the information later." She gave Iori a big hug, "It's very nice seeing you again." "You too." They spoke in their language before Hatchi was escorted by Donnie outside the lair. Splinter sighed, "Now that that is out the way, I think I shall make some tea." He shuffled out of the room, and Mikey went to go play video games in his room.
Iori went to check on Raph, but he bolted up and went to his room, closing the door behind him. "Guess I'm not talking to him today." She huffed. "Iori…" she turned around, "I was wondering if we could talk." Said Leo. "Well of course, talk away." They both sat on the couch; Leo caught a glimpse of her sitting. Her friend wasn't lying about her backside being…well, big. He quickly pushed the thought of his head before talking to her.
"I didn't mean to be so harsh to your friend, I just was worried about being followed or tracked. You have to understand, as leader, it's my responsibility to keep track of everyone in the home." "I understand it was my fault for just bolting out of here. Raph tried to convince me not to go but I was so worried about her I wouldn't have it, so he ended up going with me along with Donnie and Mikey. If you're mad at me I understand, and I take full responsibility for it. I mean, if I would've told you and Splinter you wouldnt've worried like that. I hope you're not too mad at me"
Leo's face softened, "Iori, I could never be upset at you." His voice sounded more compassionate then he wanted it to be, and he quickly changed the subject. "Anyway, thank you for understanding, I knew you would." He smiled at her and she smiled back. Another blush threatened to color his cheeks, damn his feelings.
He cleared his throat, "Well by now you and Raph talk in your room but seeing he isn't in the mood," he moved closer, close enough for her not to notice, "Maybe we could talk for awhile, on a comfortable level of course." He added. "Of course." Iori yawned and stretched, making Leo's breath quietly hitch at the sight of her unzipping her hoodie. God she's too attractive, he thought.
As Leo talked to her, he learned the same stuff as Raph did, if not that more. He listened intensely at each story she told him, remembering every one as if it were his own memory. He internally sighed at her vast experience in her adventures and the lack of his own. He had already known she was older than him, but she didn't really look it, plus his feelings put the silly number behind him. He would never admit it to her or anyone else, and I think he wanted it that way.
He listened as she talked about her brother, past friends, jobs, basically everything. "How did you come to know your friend who was in here earlier?" She looked at him, "Oh Hatchi?" she tilted her head, letting some curls go past her face, "Well she's been with me since day one. My brother and I consider her a sister; she never once failed us and we haven't failed her. She's a traveler like my brother and I, and just like him, I run into her during my travels. I know she was really worried about not contacting me, but I assured her it was just Earth's technology."
Leo chuckled, "Well it's good you have a friend that cares. If she came all the way from space just to see if you were alright, then you must be very important to her." She smiled a little, showing a fang, "Yeah, you're right. Honestly she never told me she visited Earth before. I was wondering where she was going to stay, but apparently she was going to check into her place before trying to find me."
"You're considering staying there to visit us?" Leo asked. She sighed, "Well I will be staying over there, but only to hang out for a night or to and come back. It's been awhile since I actually got groceries or toiletries for you guys and it would be nice to see up top. I've never really toured around and Hatchi could show me around." Leo had a hint of sadness in his eyes. He didn't want her to leave the lair, let alone the planet.
"Well now that you're friend is here, you could just stay here and visit whenever you'd like, or vice versa." Leo offered. "You have a point. I might just stay here though, I'm sure Hatchi'll come back to ask you a million questions. As long as she doesn't keep smacking my ass, anyways." "Believe me no one here will do that to you. I can't say the same for Mikey though." They both laughed and Iori touched his upper arm.
Leo tensed for a short moment at the unexpected touch, but quickly relaxed before Iori could notice it. "You know Leo; you're actually a very good listener. Listening to me blab on must mean you've had serious practice." She pushed a few curls out of her face and giggled, and unfortunately that blush pushed past his restraints and shaded his cheeks a light pink.
He stumbled with his words; that laugh would be the end of him. "Well your storied are so interesting, I think you should tell them to all of us in the house, sort of like a story time or something. It could make your stay longer."
"Well to be honest, I was going to leave two days from now. But with Hatchi here, I might stay for awhile longer. Of course I have to talk that over with Master Splinter." She said. "Of course. All of us really don't want to see you go." He took her hand in his, how tiny in comparison. He looked right into her eyes, "It would be an honor to have you stay with us longer."
Iori gave a small laugh and nodded. She didn't know his hands were soft. Given his physique, she would never think so. Leo's face lit up with joy. Now he would get to see Iori for awhile longer; he could hardly wait for her to tell Splinter the news! "Great! Err, great. I will enjoy hearing more of your stories soon." Leo checked the clock; it was almost 2 a.m. He let go of her hand, disappointed at the loss of warmth her hand brought her.
"Well Iori it was nice talking to you, but I must head off to bed. I'll walk you to your room." She agreed and was escorted by Leo to the door. She turned around and patted him on the arm, "What a gentleman. It's no wonder you were made responsible for your brothers. Goodnight Leonardo."
With that she entered her room and closed the door. Leo's heart must've swelled two sizes; she complimented him! He could hardly contain his excitement as he ran into his room and hissed a "yes!" behind closed doors.
He flopped on his bed and turned over on his shell. He looked up at the ceiling as he brought the hand he touched Iori's with to his face. He could smell a faint scent of vanilla, coconut, and mango coming from it. 'She's sweet and smells sweet too,' he thought.
For a brief moment, deep in the back of his mind, he asked himself if she tasted just as sweet, and felt a light tingle in his lower abdomen. He looked down and chuckled to himself, "Not now." He turned to his side and reached over to turn off the light, drifting into a deep sleep.

Well that was another chapter well written! Nice to know Hatchi will be joining the crew, and hopefully she won't be smacking anymore ass again *laughs darkly*
Damn Leo sure is crushing on her hard, isn't he? Wow even her laugh is getting him all worked up.
Wonder how Raph'll feel about this…
Welp this was another chapter and don't forget to review! Hope you enjoyed!
