Chapter five, hope you enjoy! I don't own TMNT.

Jade's POV

Once Amber was better I returned to the punching bag I was working on. Hitting things made me feel better like meditating did for Harley and gushing about her problems for Amber. I started thinking about my problems. The fire, Koma's death, the foot, Shredder, Kayla. I punched the bag harder. Why did I have to bring up Kayla? I'm so stupid! I felt a hand on my shoulder and it startled me. I grabbed it and rolled whoever was behind me on their back in front of me. I was about to punch them until I heard his voice.

"Whoa there tiger!" Raphael said, hands covering his face for protection. I blushed and grabbed one of his hands, pulling him up.

"Sorry," I mumbled "most people know to stay away from me when Im like that,"

"Well Im not most people," he said cockily. I smirked. "I came over to see how you were doing," he added.

"Im fine, just problem solving," I replied.

"My favorite way to problem solve," Raphael said. I blushed a deeper shade of red. "I also came to challenge you,"

"What kind of challenge?" I could never back down from a challenge.

"Battle of skills, no weapons if I win you have to go on a date with me," he stated.

"And if I win?" I asked.

"If you win, which you won't, I have to go on a date with you," he smirked; I rolled my eyes but agreed.

We stood on opposite ends of the training pit in our fighting stances. The battle started and Raphael ran right for me. I stepped to the right and he just passed me. He turned around and ran at me again this time I stepped aside and stuck my foot out, tripping him. He was on his stomach and I leaned over and whispered in his ear.

"This will be an easy win,"

Raphael growled and stood grabbing my leg and flipping me over him. I landed on my back. He leaned over my head smiling evilly. I grabbed his shoulders and threw him into the wall in front of me. I stood up and Raphael jumped at me throwing punch after punch that I blocked easily with my forearms. I then backed away from him.

"Aw you runnin' away scared?" he taunted.

"Nope just getting a head start," I started running.

"A head-what?" he said.

I kept running and then jumped onto my hands and flipped onto his shoulders, using them to propel myself onto the ceiling in the darkness. Raphael fell to his knees when I pushed off him. He jumped to his feet and stared all over the ceiling.

"You little bugger!" He exclaimed. I giggled and he looked where I was "gotcha!" he called.

I quietly moved behind him on the ceiling. I took a deep breath making myself silent. I then leapt off the ceiling and sailed over to him. I landed on his back, making him fall on his face.

"You don't got me, I win," I whispered triumphantly in his ear.

I got off his back and turned to walk to the kitchen for water. Raphael grabbed my ankle and I fell on my stomach. I rolled onto my back just as he kneeled over me. He leaned in. I froze at how close he was.

"You may have won the battle, but you have not won the war," he whispered and started tickling me!

I squirmed and writhed trying to get away while laughing. I pushed him away from me so I could breathe and he lay down next to me. I quieted my breathing and just stared into the darkness of the ceiling, painfully aware of how close Raphael was to me. Raphael then chuckled remembering something.

"So I guess I owe you a date," he laughed. I looked at him and smiled.

"Yea I guess you d-"

"JJJAAADEEE!" Amber called, interrupting me. I sighed at my younger sister's bad timing.

"What!" I called back.

"It's been two hours!" she sang. I sighed again right.

"What does that mean?" Raphael asked me.

"If Harley meditates for more than two hours then she kind of gets locked in meditation," I explained "last time she didn't wake up for a week,"

I stood up and walked over to where Harley was meditating. I don't know how this girl could sit like that for two hours. Amber was already standing beside Harley waiting for me. Ever since the hanging by her toes incident Amber refuses to wake Harley up. All the guys were doing their own thing but watching what we were doing. Me and Amber put our weapons down and stared at Harley.

"HARLEY!" I called but she didn't wake up. I looked at the pool and an evil grin spread across my face.

"Jade," Amber asked scared "what is that look?" I looked at her innocently.

"Oh nothing," I said as I punched the bow staff and tipped Harley into the pool.

OOH what will happen next? R&R!
