Chapter 3
A few hours passed by and a pair of dark eyes began to blink away the blurs from their owners slumber. With curiosity and slow moved she removed the blanket placed over her. Her clothes were all in place nothing taken or touched. She sighed in relief. She heard voices coming from another room and let her curiosity lead her towards the dojo. Most girls would have run away and never looked back. But in order to get her answers se needed had to face whatever was behind the doors. With a delicate shove she peaked between the slid doors and saw them again. Those creatures saved her last night.
She could have been sold as a slave or butchered if they haven't intervened. She was relieved to see all of them still alive and well even if they were all rubbing the top of their heads for some reason.
"Ouchie." The smallest one spoke. As he rubbed his head with big blue eyes he watched with a saddened and pained expression another creature with a reddish robe walked in front of him.
"There, have you learned your lesson now?"
"Hai, sensei." The four creatures said. The looked still very displeased at the red clad character.
"We still have to discuss about what we are going to do with our guest." The creature that was now known as a human sized rat said with an Asian accent. He appeared to be very calm. When the creatures where occupied with their conversation she opened the door enough to slink in and hide behind the tree. Breathing slowly and moving as quietly as she could she watched the five creatures; the four turtles that had saved her and the elderly rat that appeared to be their caretaker.
" Master Splinter we know we messed up. We will try to make sure that she believes that she was just imagining it or that she will not speak a word of us." The blue one said trying to sound as confident as he could. However there was still some hesitation in his voice.
"That may be a lot more difficult than you will imagine. Some people do not forget or are not convinced easily." He said.
"Sensei, she might be different." The purple clothed one said. All of them looked at the tall turtle questioning.
"And why that Donatello?" Their master asked.
"She didn't appear to be scared of us." Donatello said almost hesitant.
"Donnie, we have no idea what she was saying, for all we know she could have been cussing and insulting you, for all we know."
"I know, but there was something different. She was scared of the Kraangdroids but not us."
" We didn't try to drag her into a van." Second shortest stated with sarcasm.
"True, but for all she knows we might have wanted to kidnapper her ourselves."
"So why only fear the Kraang?" The blue turtle said as he rubbed his chin trying to make sense of what has happened during the last couple of hours.
"Well Shrilly must be one of the good guys sins she did save us." The smallest one said. With a raised eyebrow the girl watched wondering if there were another person or creature that she still haven't seen.
"Mikey, she could have also done that in order for her to get away. It could have just been a coincidence that saved us."
"And stop calling her Shrilly." Donnie said as Mikey just blew a raspberry at his older brother.
"Raph has a point, but we still have to know. The Kraang is a dangerous opponent, she might know something. "
"Leonardo has a good point. Everything we know about our enemy will give us an advantage. But we will also place an innocent in a war that is beyond even us."
"Now we just need to wake her up and get some answers." Leonardo said feeling better after their sensei had talked to them.
"That will not be necessary. You may come out now young one." Splinter said and turned his attention towards the tree. The turtles followed their masters example and all turned around to find the girl they had rescued standing there. Moving slowly as if she was approaching a wild animal. Until she stepped out from behind the tree. Leo was gaping surprised that the young girl they had rescued had managed to sneak up on them.
"How long has she been there?" Raph asked looking with narrow eyes on their 'guest'.
"A good part of our conversation." Splinter said answering his son's question.
"Wow, Shrilly would be an amazing ninja." Mikey said smiling in aware of the young girl. His genius brother shook his head and decided to lecture the nun-chuck wielding turtle.
"Mikey stop calling her Shrilly that isn't her name." Donnie once again said to his only baby brother.
"Then what is it?" Mikey said puffing up his cheeks much like a child did.
"Nitya."
"Huh? Come again." Leonardo asked as he watched the girl that had spoken.
"My name is Nitya."
"You name is Ninja?! Awesome! Best name ever." At this Raphael slapped the back of his baby brother's head mumbling something that sounded like 'Dumbass'.
"No Nitya. My name is Nitya." She said slowly so that it could be heard clearly.
"Well she was odd to begin with, she does have an odd name." Raph stated sarcastic
"Raphael, behave!" Splinter said sternly. Causing the second oldest to grumble and look at the girl, now named Nitya.
"Forgive my son for his behavior." Slinter said as welcoming as possible. Just because he was a huge talking rat it did not mean he lost his manners. They boys rarely got company with friendly intentions. Splinter also watched the young girl curiously. She had made no move indicating she was fearful of them or wishing to harm them.
"No, it's alight. I am a stranger in your home. He just wants to make sure no one is harmed."
"Dudette you have no idea how far from the truth that is, Raph is the one causing most harm around here." After Mikey's blunt comment he received a smack at the back of the head from said turtle.
"Ow! See what I mean!" Mikey said giving his adorable version of a death glare to his brother.
"We have some questions we would like to have answered. Do you think you could help us?" Leonardo looked at their guest. Just like Splinter Leonardo could sense ill intentions to some extent. But nothing told him that the young woman where an enemy. The girl nodded and before Leo could ask a question his immediate younger brother began.
"Why didn't you just speak plain English, instead of sprouting that gibberish when we saw you last night?!"
"I don't speak gibberish."
"Oh really then what was that mumbling you did back in the ally?" Raph said crossing his arms.
"I was praying for protection from Lord Shiva."
"The What and the Who?" Raph asked completely lost.
"Is it a new super villain, aww I wanted to name the bad guys." Mikey whined.
"Let's focus guys. We want to know, if you know something about the Kraang." Leo said keeping his mind on the mission ahead. To get the possible information out of the human now standing before them.
"You mean those men that tried to take me away? No I have never met them before."
"Well they aren't exactly men."
"What are they? What kind of demon where possessing them?"
" Demon?" Leonardo asked as he looked questioning at his brothers and family. His other brothers looked just as clueless as him.
"I knew she was loopy." Raphael mumbled and suddenly felt a long finger pushing on a sensitive spot under his jaw.
" Sorry!" Raphael's tone got high as he said the apology hoping Splinter would remove his well-placed finger. Splinter smirked to himself, who ever said he didn't have a sense of humor. But, there were more serious matters to take care of.
"Is he alright?" Nitya asked sounding worried about the red clad turtle.
"It takes more than that to bring him down." Leo said shrugging it off casually. The 'pressure point' trick was something their fathers did when they quarreled and the intense pain often caused them to immediately stop arguing.
"I am afraid I have never encountered these 'Kraaaing' before." Instead of correcting her pronunciation of the alien race they tried to get at least a clue what lead the Kraang to seek her out.
"You didn't pick up something that might have had an odd looking symbol or it said TCRI?" Donatello asked.
"No." The young girl answered while she shook her head.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Perhaps it was a random kidnapping. But it doesn't sound like the Kraang at all. If they needed guinea pigs they would have lured them to a specific spot rather than forcing someone to come with them." Donatello thought out loud.
"Don't you remember how we met April?" Raph said in a deadpanned fashion. The three other brothers thought for a second.
"True." Said all three of them monotone.
"Then what is it you want me to tell you."
"You haven't seen anything out of the ordinary?" Leonardo said hoping that they would at least get something to go on. The three brothers had dealt with the Kraang for quite a while now. But they still know very little about them. Now adding the fact that they tried to kidnap another person just made the Kraangs actions just seem random. But something dawned on Donnie.
"Is one of your relatives a scientist?"
"I would not call him a scientist but my father is a teacher in Forensic science."
" That might be something the Kraang could have wanted." Donatello almost wanted to pat himself on the back for that thought. It would make sense. After all Scientist have gone missing from all over New York and Kirby O'Neil was just one of them. Perhaps they hoped to catch her father, sins forensic science was quite a broad subject it could be a key to find the right way to modify the ooze or a way to keep the Kraang's true identity hidden.
"What is that?" Michelangelo looked at his closest older brother. If anything had the word 'science' it was safe to assume that Donatello had a basic understanding or at least heard of it.
"It is the study of evidence, when a crime has been committed they will look for fingerprints, hair and anything that can give them a clue about who, how and when a crime occurred. " Donatello said he could go into detail but he would save that for a better opportunity.
"That kind of knowledge and equipment could be a hindrance for our enemy. The Kraang still wishes to keep their secrets from the public. If they figure out that they are not what they appear, it would become a dangerous affair, not to mention the panic and actions authority will take to keep its citizens safe." Splinter told his young protégés and the girl. The worried expression on her face spoke for itself. Her father might be in great danger not to mention the rest of her family.
"Well what shall we do?" Leonardo asked his brothers.
"Perhaps I should tell my father." Nitya said. She still looked nervous and terrified of the possibility of her father being wanted by something 'unearthly'.
"You do know that it sound utterly insane, right?" Rapahel said with his most deadpanned expression. He was still debating if the girl was either brave or just very, very, very naïve.
"If my father is in danger, dose he not have a right to know?"
"True but we do not know for certain yet. How about this: We will call you in a few days' time and then you can report if something has happened."
"I do not think that is a good idea. If someone took my cellphone they could track you down."
"Then what is your suggestion."
"Perhaps a public place at a certain time. It would be fewer suspects if I went there."
"Ever heard of Murakami-san's noodle shop?"
"Yes I do know of that place."
"Meet us there in three days' time and tell us is something suspicious has happened. At 22.00, come alone." Leonardo said stepping into his commander mode.
"So Friday 10 pm 24/7 noodle shop. You have my word, I will meet you there."
"I hope for all our sakes you do that." Leonardo's eyes shifted to white. A very intimidating effect that startled the young girl. It was now up to fate what would happen. But is anything was Leo's determined expression a promise and a threat. That whatever she chose would bring consequences, they do not know how dire just yet.

"Rōkanā!" = Stop (verb)
Shaantam padmaasanastham shashadharamakutam panchavaktram trinetram,

I prostrate myself before the five-faced Lord of Parvati, who is adorned with various ornaments, who shines like the crystal jewel, who is seated peacefully in the lotus pose, with moon-crested crown, with three eyes, wearing trident, thunderbolt, sword and axe on the right side, who holds the serpent, noose, bell, damaru and spear on the left side, and who gives protection from all fear to His devotees.
"Dhan'yavāda." = Thank you
Rukō! Maiṁ tumhēṁ cōṭa nahīṁ hōgā. = Wait, I won't hurt you.
Kachu'ōṁ, ina abhibhāvakōṁ kē li'ē viṣṇu dhan'yavāda. = Turtles, thank Vishnu for these guardians.
Mērā nāma nityā hai. Maiṁ mujhē bacānē kē li'ē dhan'yavāda. Yē lōga lagabhaga mujhē dūra lē gayā.
My name is Nitya. I thank you for saving me. These men almost took me away.
