Michelangelo looked up into the ninja's mask, his baby blue eyes showing not fear but confusion. What about the riddle? He had thought he had gotten it right, had he not?
He was pulled from his thoughts by movement.
A black hand was extended to him and he took it, being lifted back to his feet.
"Who are you?" He asked, before looking to his brothers
They were rising to their feet, after being knocked to the floor. Not that it didn't hurt, but it was like being taken down when they were sparring nothing more. Three pairs of eyes narrowed in on the intruder, before they rushed forward to attack. Mikey felt himself being dragged back by Don, while both his elder brothers attacked.
Katanas sliced towards the chest, while Sais went for the knees. One of them was going to hit, they knew, taking the ninja down. Little did they know that the ninja had something else in mind.
He fell flat, his back against the floor, as both attacks rushed over him. Looks of confusion came to the brothers faces, as the ninja jumped back up before doing a leg sweep. He was so quick, they hadn't seen it coming and they both went to the floor.
"Stay back Mikey" Don said, before going to join the other two
Fine, he thought, though he wanted to help. They obviously didn't want him to get hurt, like having a sword to his throat. Wait, he thought, looking at the fight.
That leg sweep, so fast and precise. He had seen only one person do that, but that couldn't be…A feeling took him over and for some reason, he was sure he knew that person. The presence was familiar, someone close to him.
I really don't know what I'm doing, he thought, standing up. Why was he doing this? He didn't know, as he approached the fight. His brothers were surrounding the ninja, weapons at the ready.
Without a second thought, Mikey put his body between the ninja and his brothers. His arms outstretched, knowing his brother's wouldn't attack while he was there.
"Mikey, what are you doing?" Leo asked, wondering why his brother was defending the enemy
"I don't know" The orange turtle answered
"Then get the fuck out of the way" Raph yelled, his green eyes fixed to his brother's
"No" Mikey said, just not able to shake the fact that he knew the ninja behind him
"What? Mikey get out of the way" Don said, confused by his brother's answer
"NO! Look I know this person, who it is I don't know but I know them. I will not let you attack him" Mikey said, turning to face, missing his brother's shocked faces
"Who are you?" Mikey asked, looking at the ninja's black covered face
Something silver caught his eye, the belt. A feeling rushed through his body as a flashback came back.
She hung up the poster, showing four dragons before smiling at him.
"These dragons are famous…"
The memory connected with his feeling and his mind clicked. It all became clear.
"Jas" He said, before hugging the mystery ninja.
He felt two arms wrap around him, a voice in his ears.
"Good job" A sweet voice said
Then he was being pulled back, ripped from her arms. He looked to see his three brothers attacking her. No! He thought, they don't know it's her. There's no way she can go up against the three of them…
As they say, Mikey ate his own words err thoughts as his brothers were disarmed at then pushed back against the wall. In the middle stood the ninja, or as Mikey knew as Jasmine, stood tall. She walked over to him, offering her hand to him. After being pulled up, he said "I know it's you but, how?"
She said, nothing and instead pressed the curled up dragon at her waist.
Like cloth that had been stretched, the black clothed ninja disappeared, being sucked into the belt. After a few seconds, there she stood, shell and all.
"Mikey" She said, smiling at him. Her blue eyes, showing happiness.
He didn't reply, just gave her a hug. How? He thought, was she in front of him. It didn't matter, she was here and that's all he cared about.
They stood like that in till a voice interrupted.
"Jasmine?"
They both turned to see three turtle jaws on the floor.
"Oh, do you know any other female turtles?" She said, pretending to be upset
"Is that really you?" Leo asked, as they all came closer
"Your name is Leonardo, eldest brother and the leader of the team. Your nicknames include Leo, Fearless, Splinter jr, and Mamoru. We first met when I saved you from being killed by purple dragons. Yes, It is me" Jasmine responded, flashing him a smile
"Yep that's Jasmine alright" Raph said, a smug grin on his face
"Leo got beat up by purple dragons" Mikey said, snickering
"Hey, I come back into town and I only get one hug?" She asked, sending a glare to Mikey
"Sorry, we didn't recognize you in the ninja outfit" Raph said, giving her a warm hug
"How did you do that anyway?" Don asked, after giving her a hug of his own
"One moment" She said, walking towards the lair door
They all looked at her, as she went through the door, only to return with her duffel bag over her shoulder. She set it down, before heading back over to them.
"Shoot" She said, giving them the go ahead to ask questions
"Why are you here, you said you were in Japan?"
"How were you that ninja?"
"What was the riddle all about?"
"Why did you not just tell us who you were?"
Four sets of eyes looked to her, as she took a deep breath and said "No comment"
"What?" Mikey asked
"Come on, you said you would answer our questions" Don said, looking at her belt
"I did no such thing. I told you to tell me your questions, that's all. I never said that I would answer them" She said, crossing her arms
"But..." They all started to say, before being interrupted by Splinter
"Now my sons, she must be tired from her journey and I am sure she will tell you all about it tomorrow" The wise rat said, looking to his daughter
"Good to see you Sensei " She said, before giving him a bow
"It's great to see you also my daughter" Splinter replied, before giving her a hug
"Hey, dudes what about...you know" Mikey said, nudging his brothers
Noticing the movement, Jasmine raised an eye ridge at the brothers while saying "Am I missing something?"
"Nope" Raph said, coolly
" If you would excuse me" Leo said, before walking towards is room, as the others stayed to talk with her
From beside his bed he pulled out a small package.
Wrapped in a silver paper with a blue ribbon on top, the package was for her.
Walking back to the main room to see his brothers already there, looking at im.
She eyed them curiously, before asking "What's that?"
"Your Christmas present" Mikey said, a grin on his face
"You guys didn't have too" She said, a smile on her face
"We wanted to" Don said
"Here" Leo said handing the package to her
Upon opening it she gasped, inside was a bracelet. It was a silver band with charms the same color, and blue beads.
She slipped it on her arm, it fit great. Bringing it up to her face, she looked closer at the charms.
The first was a jesters hat.
"That's mine, because I am the funny guy of the family, though sometimes not every one likes my jokes" Mikey explained
The next one was a book. [Guess who this is? lol]
Don pointed to it and said "This one represents me, because I am about the facts and like a book I am flat, keeping calm and playing peacekeeper"
"True" She said, before going to the next charm, a lion.
"I am like a lion, being very protective and always ready for a fight. Though, like a lion, I don't have great anger control" Raph said
"Hothead" She muttered, smirking at the same time
Her eyes went to the last charm, a willow tree. Just like the one on her necklace, the one around Leo's neck.
"Like a willow tree, I stand tall to protect others. I am nothing with out the support of my family though" Leo said, sending her a soft smile
"Very original" She teased
"Why thank you" He said back, sending her a smile
Did I miss something? Raph thought looking at the two joke with each other over a willow tree.
"Thank you it's beautiful" She said, putting her arm down
"Now will you answer our questions?" Don asked
"No, I need to talk to Master Splinter" Jasmine said
"Then talk" Raph said, wanting to hear what she had to say
"The subject is for his ears only" She replied, knowing this would perk their intrest
"Shall we talk over tea?" Master Splinter suggested
"Yes" She said, before turning to the guys "Talk to you guys later okay?"
"Sure" Leo said, his mind wondering what she was going to discuss
"This way then" Master Splinter said, as the two moved into the meditation room
The door was closed, but not all the way leaving it cracked.
Mikey went to back to his comic book, his mind on the door.
Raph went to check out his new bike, with Don at his side. Both their eyes went to the door, before turning to the machine.
Leo went to the couch to meditate, smiling knowing he had gotten the Christmas present he had wanted.
Whispered voices, were heard from the cracked door and all eyes turned to look at it
No, must respect Master Splinter they all thought.
But...
Before they could blink, there were four sets of eyes looking through the crack.
Four ears against the door
Listening to the conversation, they were not suppose to be hearing.
She's back!
See why, next chapter!
I very much appreciate reviews!
