And we see Musaki's true colors when he's around Raphael.
Chapter 7: Intimidation
A few minutes later, Musaki was wandering around parts of the Jade Palace, wanting to get some peace and quiet after some serious training for a while. He went towards the Sacred Peach Tree to just think about a few things and how to get used to the rest of the three weeks with their new guests around. The one downside is getting used to Raphael. Around him, Musaki gets fearless and tough on the outside, but on the inside, he's pretty scared and a little intimidated towards him like he's gonna get beaten down by him.
He feels the wind blowing through his fur, hoping it will soothe his nerves down. He sighs heavily and sits down near the tree, just hoping to keep his mind off Raph for a while.
He sighs heavily and said, "Why am I letting this tough turtle get to me? Why do I feel like he's gonna start a fight with me?"
He doesn't want to fight with Raph, because looking at his eyes and his weapons makes him feel a little frightened inside. He wanted to keep it to himself, but fears that Raph sees it through and can mess him up pretty badly.
In his imagination, he sees himself getting beaten down by Raph for unknown reasons, because he thinks Musaki isn't as tough as he thinks he is and gets kicked, punched, scratched and bludgeoned.
He pants heavily and feels sweat coming through his fur, just thinking about it. All of a sudden, he hears footsteps coming from behind and a shadow is coming behind him. He breathed sharply, but softly and shakily because he can tell Raph is in his prescence.
He slowly turned around and before he knows it, it is Raph. He's standing near the tree, staring at Musaki with a mischievous smirk on his face, holding out both sais on his hands. Musaki turned away for a few, only to notice that Raph is starting to get a little heated about Musaki ignoring him.
He sees a peach and throws it at him on the back. Musaki turns around and asked, "What do you want from me, anyway?"
"Simple. I just want to make you feel scared." Raph said.
"Scared? Dude, you're crazy. Nobody is really scared of you, you know. Why should I be scared of you?" Musaki asked.
Raph could already see it. He angrily smiles at him and got close to him and said, "Get up."
Musaki looked confused and asked, "Why?"
"Just...get...up."
"Don't have to tell me twice."
Apparently, Musaki stands up and Raph got to his face and said, "Listen, punk. For three weeks, you need to stay out of my way."
"Oh, that should be easy."
He grabbed him by the shoulders and said, "Listen to me. I don't think you're getting this right. I didn't want to come here to China in the first place, but my master talked me into it, and I'm lucky that kung-fu is just like ninja fighting. I'm wondering what would happen if I could use it at you...and then do some harm to you."
"If you do, Master Shifu will kick you in the shell." Musaki said.
"I'd like to see him try."
"If I was your master, I would've kicked the smack out of you a few minutes ago."
Raph got into his face some more and said, "For the next three weeks, I can think of a million ways to make your life miserable. So be afraid, kid. Be very...afraid."
Musaki didn't say anything and then Raph dropped him down to the ground. Then, he turned to him again and said, "Tell anyone about this, I'll turn you into panda stew. Here's the warning just in case."
Raph got close to him and sucker-punched him in the face and slammed him to the tree. After that, he left and walked away. At this point, Musaki definitely feels scared. He's starting shaking in fear, because of Raph. But that's not the only thing that made him feel scared. He looks down on the ground, then looked at his shorts and they were wet.
He groaned in embarassment and asked, "Did I just wet my pants?"
He walked back to the bunkhouse and wanted to prevent anyone from seeing his shorts wet. He entered inside, tried to slip past the doors to his room and when he got to his room...
"Hey, Lil' Saki."
Musaki felt startled and jumped in shock and turned around. It was only Po, Shifu and Splinter standing there. He sighed in relief and only turned to the back. He said, "Hey, didn't see you."
"You okay, Young Musaki?" asked Splinter.
"Me? I'm just...fine. You guys just scared me, that's all."
Shifu could tell that Musaki was hiding something that he would feel embarassed about. He asked, "Can I ask you something?"
"Why?"
"Just answer my question-are you hiding something?"
Musaki scoffed and said, "No. What would make you think that?"
"Come on, Musaki. I've known you for two years. I can tell from your voice that something is going on."
"How do you mean?"
"Can you turn around?"
Shifu knew that Musaki was gonna turn around and see his shorts wet, because he peed himself in it and it'll make him feel totally stupid. He said, "No, thanks. I'm fine."
"Lil' Saki. It's us. Just turn around." Po said.
"And look us in the eyes."
"That's not the only thing you'll look at."
"What does that supposed to mean?"
Musaki felt like there was no escaping it and sighed heavily and just surrenders. He turned around and all three of them saw it coming. Po gasped in shock and asked, "Musaki...did you just wet yourself?"
"Yes."
"Can you tell me the situation?" asked Shifu.
"Can I just have another pair, please?"
"You've got extras in your room. You were going back to get another pair, weren't you?"
"Yes, master."
"Why in the world would this happen?" asked Splinter.
"Long story."
"Just tell us about it while you change."
"Sure. Plus, I think I got it from Po."
Po was astonished to hear that and said, "I don't wet my pants that much."
"Panda, I seem to recall you wetting your pants when Ichi told you a scary story and also, when Musaki scared you with a fake mask on Halloween."
"It looked like a two-headed monster."
"And you got so scared, you peed yourself and left a huge puddle of pee all over your shorts." Musaki said.
"It was a moment that I would like to forget in a million years."
"Everybody gets scared sometimes." Splinter said.
"Really?"
"Of course. It does not mean you are less of a hero. Even warriors get scared sometimes."
"They do?" Shifu asked.
"But you just have to learn from it. Warriors get embarassed, too."
"How'd you learn something like this in Japan?" asked Po.
Splinter chuckled and said, "Take it from someone who raised four turtles."
"I'll keep that in mind."
"And so will Musaki."
"Yeah, him too."
Little funny, right? It's suprising that Musaki accidently wets himself that he's scared or Raph, but it's just once. Stick around for more!
