Three Weeks Later:
Renée sat, her legs folded nearly under her body as she watched two of her older brothers spar with their weapons. Her gaze followed every move that Leo and Donnie made as they attempted to overpower each other. Donnie swung at Leo's legs, which was easily avoided, but also opened a gap for a quick follow up swing that knocked the blue banded turtle into his shell.
Donnie held his bo up to his brothers neck, a victorious gleam in his eyes. Leo cast a glance over at his katana, which had been kicked aside by Donnie. He cast his gaze back to his brother and grinned slightly, then used his legs to knock Don over and, in the process, swooped his sword into his hands. Donnie was quick to recover, but in seconds the two brothers had blades at each others throats, so Splinter called them to a halt.
"That is enough. Well done you two." They bowed to their sensei, then sheathed their weapons and returned to their spot as Raphael and Mikey stood and moved up to face each other. Renée scooted closer to her sitting brothers, leaning forwards as she eagerly waited for the spar to start. It ended quickly, with Raph sitting on Mikey's shell, which was expected, and Mikey begging for him to get off, also expected. Once they managed to drag Raph off of his younger brother, the boys headed out of the dojo and into the main section of the lair.
Renée hung back, which instantly struck Splinter as odd. He shut the door to the dojo and knelt in front of the small lizard.
"Nanika ga machigatte iru?~ Is something wrong?" He asked, worried for the child. She shook her head and twisted her tail in her small hands, chewing on her lip, which he knew she did when she was trying to figure out what to say. After a minute or so, the words seemed to come to her.
"Sensei..." She paused, chewing her lip again for a brief moment. "Toki ni... watashi wa densha ni... nyūshu dekimasu ka?~ When do I get to train?" She looked away, as if asking such a simple question could very well be worth a scolding. Splinter stroked his goatee for a moment, then looked into the pleading eyes of the youngster. "Ima?~ Now?" The girls eyes lit up and she nodded happily. He chuckled and stood, then started her first lesson.
Renée had shocked them all with how quickly she could catch onto words and phrases and work out how to speak properly. She still was at a loss for words many times a day, but she was already nearly fluent in Japanese, it was actually spoken quite a bit when the turtles and their teacher were alone, and was learning more English each day. Seeing how quickly she had learned to speak, it didn't surprise the old rat when she quickly caught onto the lesson and took it in full stride, eager to learn every move she could in as short a time as she could.
After about a half hour of training, Splinter sent the child off and she scampered into the main room, where her four brothers were gathered around the T.V, playing one of the video games April had gotten them. Renée ran forwards and tackle-hugged Leo, who was unfortunately enough to have been stuck on the floor closest to the dojo. His car swerved off the racing track and into the bubbling lake of lava that the track was set around, right as Raph's car drove past and crossed the finish line. "Ikko sore!" He growled as he watched the others drive across the finish line. He turned to the young lizard, who was obviously confused as to why her brother had just growled at her. He sighed and set the remote down, then pulled the child onto his lap. "Not you, Renée. Raph beat me at the game." He said, tickling her sides as she squirmed helplessly in his grasp.
"Leo! Stop! No tickle!" She screeched happily and she tried to pry his hands off of her. "Tickle Raphie! Tickle Raphie!" She laughed, pointing at Raph as she spoke. The red turtle leaned forward and snatched her out of his older brothers hands.
"Saved you!" Leo jumped to his feet and let out a low drown. "Rawr! I'm a fierce dragon! How dare you steal my princess! I'll eat you and return her to her keep!" Right from one of the story books she insisted on them reading to her before she went to sleep every night( blame Mikey!).
Raph whipped one if his sais out of their sheaths and held it out towards Leo. "No, you may be a fierce, fire-breathing dragon, but I will return this fare maiden to her family and slay you! Stay back!" Raph started backing up, then, quite suddenly, Renée wasn't in his arms. He glanced up to see Mikey hanging upside down with Renée giggling happily in his arms. "Ha! I'm one of the many goblins that roam these parts. I have stolen your fare princess and shall take her away and gobble her up!" Her rasped, tickling Renée as he pretended to eat her.
Suddenly Donnie launched himself from his staff and snatched the child out of Mikey's hands as he passed. "Not quite Goblin, for I, a simple elf shall save this younger maiden and keep her from any farther harm. Ignorant beasts, hotheaded fools! You shan't have her!" Mikey dropped down and all three of the remaining brothers started after Donnie and Renée. The young girl was yanked, tossed, swung, and handed between the turtles, giggling merrily, until Master Splinter made the foolish decision to leave his meditating and see what all the yelling, laughing, screeching, and general noise was about.
He opened the dojo door and stepped out. The 'Goblin' currently had the laughing Renée, and he was running away from the 'Dragon, Knight, and Elf'. They all spotted Splinter a second too late. Mikey crashed into Splinter, which caused the other three to stop, run into each other, and topple onto the pile.
The way I do their japanese translations may change up a bit in the future as I try to figure out what I was to do. If you have any suggestions, if love to these them. Also, I got all my Japanese from google translate, so it's sketchy at best, but it works. If you have any suggestions for the translations, please shoot me a PM or spots it in the review box thingy. Thankies much for the time you spent reading this, I hope the story was worth it to you^~^
