Chapter 13: Conclusion

Flashback

Some guy was standing over Ryuzaki and Watari was out cold. Ryuzaki was trying to stop the guy; who had a knife in his hand; from stabbing him.

End Flashback

Leo ran over and kicked the guy off of Ryuzaki, but Ryuzaki was cut from the knife.

"Who are you and why are you trying to kill him?" I asked; remembering not to say that he was my cousin. The man smiled and answered "my name is Hebi and I am here to kill L, now go with your freak for friends and leave me to my work."

Hebi stood up and grabbed his knife, Rose saw red in her eyes and ran and grabbed Hebi's hand. "You touch him and I will kick you all the way to Timbuktu!" I yelled at him and quickly hit him in his hand to drop the knife and lifted my right leg and kicked him with the weights I was wearing.

Hebi yells out in pain and hits the wall; he passes out right on the spot. I run to Ryuzaki and see he's out cold. Don checks on Watari "he's ok, just out cold" I nod at Donny's explanation and saw that his injury on his arm reopened. I felt his forehead and he had a stronger fever.

Don helps me take care of Ryuzaki while Leo, Mikey, and Ralph took Watari to his room after I told them where it was. After Don rewrapped his injury and I put a cold wash cloth on his forehead we both sat back and relaxed. "Rose Gai-sensei really taught you speed that was amazing!" Don said congratulating me "thanks" I said and stared at Ryuzaki.

Couple days later

Ryuzaki finally woke up after two days from a raging fever. "What happened?" Ryuzaki asked me in a raspy voice. I got up and gave him the water I had prepared; I helped him swallow then answered his question.

"That Hebi guy attacked you and Watari and the guys and me came back just in time to stop him from stabbing you, you were fighting off him really well for a sick person." I explained and Ryuzaki gave a big cough and struggled to sit up.

"No don't" I said pushing him back down "your still sick with fever, not as bad but bad enough that I'm making you stay in bed." Ryuzaki looked at me "Rose you said the guys… Are those turtles here still?" I nodded and Ryuzaki groaned.

I gave a sincere smile and said "Ryuzaki, Leo had saved you from getting stabbed, you were cut but that would have happened anyway" Ryuzaki nodded and looked at his bandaged hands. "You should only need those bandages for a week at most."

Ryuzaki nodded and the door opened and Don entered. Don froze when he saw Ryuzaki awake and looking at him. I just smiled and went up to Don and pushed him a little to get closer to Ryuzaki. "Ryuzaki, Donny here bandaged your arm and your hands."

Ryuzaki nodded and looked straight at Donny "thank you" he mumbled, Donny's face lightened up and he answered "you're welcome Ryuzaki" Ryuzaki nodded again and he heard his stomach growl. I started laughing and answered, while laughing "I'll go get you some strawberry cake Ryuzaki."

I quickly got Ryuzaki his cake and some tea with a whole bunch of sugar cubes on a tray; got a tray to set everything on. I got back to his room and saw him sitting up, Donny right next to his bed fluffing a pillow. I smile and set the tray on a nightstand, I give Ryuzaki his tea and grab the sugar cubes and held them out for him.

Ryuzaki instantly grabbed some and put it in the tea. He kept grabbing more sugar cubes and put them in his tea until it turned into mush. He started drinking it and was at ease. He then reached for his cake and started eating it his own strange way.

Ralph, Leo, and Mikey came into Ryuzaki's room and I was surprised when he smiled at them. "Hey Rose can you go get pizza?" Mikey asked me, I signed "fine, did you already order it?" Mikey nodded and he gave me some money and I went and got the pizza.

Watari was awake and back in Ryuzaki's room by the time I got here. "Hey why don't we just eat here in Ryuzaki's room?" Mikey offered, everyone agreed and Leo and I got plates for everyone except Ryuzaki. I picked off everything from my slices; except the cheese and got two slices.

Over the next three days Ryuzaki talked to the guys and even Master Splinter when he did come visit the guys. One day Leo went into Ryuzaki's room and I heard snippets of the conversation. "I don't think we can trust you with our secret" I heard Leo say.

I walked right into the room and shut the door. Both Ryuzaki and Leo turned towards me and stared at me. "Leo you can trust Ryuzaki with your secret, he's got a huge one too!" Leo just glared at me "Rose we haven't known Ryuzaki for long, how can we trust him if we can't trust him!"

I glared right back at him and said "Leo I know you want to protect your family, but how can you trust anyone if you do not give them a chance? How do you even trust me when you hardly know me?" Leo looked flabbergast "Rose I do trust you because of what you can do-" "then you should trust Ryuzaki."

Leo looked back at Ryuzaki and they both stared at each other. Leo finally asked "can I trust that you can keep our secret?" Ryuzaki nodded and I let out a breath I had been holding. Leo went up to Ryuzaki and gave him his hand and Ryuzaki shook hands with Leo.
