It was only a couple of minutes after midnight, yet she still couldn't spot him. Karai roamed across the rooftop, groaning as she questioned herself why she was there. Kicking a can over the edge, she unsheathed her tanto blade.

"No way I came here just to see him," she mumbled. Tightly gripping the handle of her blade, she jabbed a brick wall as she grunted. "Like I care if he's here or not." Stopping at the sound of laughter, she tilted her head to glance above her. Karai stared at Leo, who sat on the water tower with legs kicking freely as he smiled and waved. The stealthy ninja stood up, flipped, and landed in front of her.

"Glad you could make it, Karai." The kunoichi frowned while narrowing his eyes.

"Were you here all this time?" He shrugged.

"Nah, only like ten minutes or so." Her eyes widened, yet quickly composed herself.

"Whatever, let's just do this." He drew out his katana sword, holding it out between them.

"Alright," he responded. "Best out of three. The winner gets this spot." Karai smirked.

"Deal." They turned at opposite directions until their were a few feet away from each other. Facing one another, they lifted their weapons before charging.

Their metals clashed, face filled with concentration, and adrenaline rushing within. She flipped frontward, making Leo take a few steps back before striking again. She rolled her eyes when he tripped at his own feet, though he somersaulted and easily stood in a fighting stance. Karai took the chance to try to distract him once he unsheathed his other sword.

"Ow!" Dropping her tanto blade to the ground, she held her hip tightly with both hands. As she fell to her knees, he dashed towards her, taking her by the shoulders after putting away his weapons.

"Karai!" Leo nervously called out. "Are you okay? Where does it hurt?" Her golden eyes stared at his worried filled gaze, instantly making her heart drop. Shyly, she tried to stand up, but he continued to hold her.

"I'm alright. No damage." She averted her gaze from his, staring at his muscular arms that gently embraced her. For the first time in a while, she felt bad.

"Are you sure? I could call my brother Donnie. He can tell if there's something serious and-" she broke him off when her hand covered his mouth.

"I'm fine, Leo, really." He nodded and let her stand up. Brushing herself off, his eyes roamed over her body, trying to spot any cuts. She looked off to the side and walked over to where her weapon lay.

"I think we're done here." Karai picked up her sword and put it back in its spot before turning to face him. "You should feel lucky though," she chuckled, "in any other circumstance, I would've taught you lesson."

"Really?" She nodded.

"I guess until next time." She walked off, but was held back as the ninja took hold of her wrist. She noticed how gentle his grip was even though he had large strong calloused hands.

"Karai -" his sweet toned voice made her smile, though he didn't see it. "Can we maybe -" she almost giggled at his squeak. "If you want -" Karai swiftly turned around, placing her hands on his plastron, making him freeze at the touch.

"You won." He knitted his brow ridges together.

"W-what?"

"You won, okay. It's not like you can find another place that is so private and secluded from wandering eyes anyway." He smiled.

"Maybe this can be our spot?" Leo asked hopefully. Karai stepped back, walking towards the edge.

She lowered down, holding onto the edge of the rooftop, and before jumping down, she whispered, "tabun." He brightly smiled as Karai took her leave, placing his palms against his plastron.

Maybe
