Attention: I don't own TMNT; but you already knew that.
So after reading please R2 (Rate and Review)!
Thank you for doing so!
Four sets of eyes, looking through a crack.
Four ears, listening to hushed voices.
Four minds thinking the same thing, what was so secret that they couldn't hear about it?
The four turtles were silent
"Mikey, don't poke me!"
Well mostly anyway….
"Sorry Don" The blue eyed turtle responded
"Quite, we shouldn't be here" The leader of the group said
"Then why are you here Romeo?" Raph said, smirking at his elder brother
"Same reason, we all are" Leo replied, ignoring his new nickname
Why are we here? He thought. Why would Jasmine appear wanting to talk to Splinter alone?
His thoughts were interrupted by hush words coming through the door. They all put their ears to the door, trying to hear better. Four sets of eyes went wide at what they heard.
"Potential….all….Mikey" They heard Jasmine say
Me? The smallest turtle thought as all eyes turned to him
"True….you…skill?" Their father's voice responded
What kind of skill is he talking about? Donatello thought, his mind filled with curiosity
"Yes" She said, no second thoughts in her voice
"Can…teach?" Splinter said
She was going to teach us? Raph thought, what could she teach us?
Again she responded with a firm "Yes"
"You…know….risks?" The wise rat's voice asked, concern laced his voice
Risks? The light brown eyes turtle thought. Were they talking about something dangerous? What could it be?
"I….aware…deal…if… occurs" Jasmines voice replied, her voice calm
"Deal with what?" Don whispered
"I don't know but we need to find out" Leo said, as they crept away from the door
They all silently agreed to find out what the discussion was about, whatever way possible. Going to their normal activities, they waited for the door to open. Then they knew that their plan was going to be put in to action.
Splinter knew as he led, the female turtle through the door that the topic she wanted to speak off was important, but not life threatening important.
"What do you wish to speak of?" He asked, before pouring tea into two cups
"I ask for you're permission to teach the boys" She replied, taking a sip of her tea
"Teach them what?" He said, looking to her
"To sense auras" Jasmine said back, returning his gaze
"Why?" He asked, before the sense of four familiar presences appeared out side the door. He smiled, couldn't contain their curiosity, could they? Looking to her, he also saw a smile crept onto her face. She knew they were spying, she had known they would.
Not hinting what she knew, she said "They show potential, all of them especially Mikey"
"That's true, but do you have the skill?" He responded, knowing that she was right. Although his smallest son didn't have the greatest focus, he was very good with sensing emotion which was a major part of sensing auras.
She replied with a firm "Yes"
"But can you teach?" The wise rat asked, knowing that being excellent warrior doesn't mean that you are ready to teach.
Again she responded with a confident "Yes"
"You do know of the risks?" He said, his tea know long forgotten
"I am aware of them and I will deal with it if it occurs" She replied, as she sensed the presence at the door disappear
It was silent for a moment, as his mind processed her proposal. She felt his hesitation, and understood why he would need time. Although his sons were skilled ninjas, they were still his sons and he wanted to protect them.
She took one of his paws and said "I will not let anything happen to them"
He looked into her blue eyes, icy as snow yet calm as a river.
"You have my permission, but I do have one question" He replied, giving her a smile
"Yes?" She asked, taking one last sip of her tea
"Are you going to tell them or shall I?" Splinter asked
"Considering that they are going to ambush me when I exit this room, I will" Jasmine said, putting in a laugh at the end
"I wish you luck then" He said, before they both stood up
"Thank you" She said, holding the door open for him
She stood in the doorway in till the sound of his feet could be heard no more.
Four presences means four turtles, she thought stepping into the main room only to be surrounded.
"Personal space" She said, knowing they wouldn't listen
"Sorry, but we have some questions…" Leo started to say
"…that you are going to answer" Raph finished
"Or what?" Jasmine said, getting in his face
"You'll never find your bag" He said back, an evil smile on his face
"You mean the one hidden in Don's lab under his desk?" She said, raising an eye ridge at him
"Nice threat Raph" Mikey said, knowing that was exactly where it was
"Just tell us please" Don asked, nicely
"Nope" She shook her head, knowing she had all the power
"Donatello, don't you have a truth serum or something?" Leo asked
"Matter of fact I do" The purple turtle responded, looking to his sister
"Like I am really going to let you inject me with it" She said
"We will just hold you down" Raph said, grabbing her arm
"Right…" She said, grabbing his arm. A moment later, he was on the floor where she had flipped him.
From above him she said "I just took on the four of you and won, I don't think you can beat me" before pulling him up
"We weren't giving it our all" Raph muttered
"Yeah right, you attacked me with the intent to kill me when my blade was against Mikey's throat" Jasmine countered
"Guys, can we just get back to the issue at hand?" Don pointed out as Raph was about to answer her
"What issue? I see no issue" She said, before walking into the kitchen
The turtles began to follow, only to be stopped by Mikey.
"Let me talk to her" He said
"Why?" Leo asked
"Because my puppy dog eyes never fail" The orange turtle replied, with a grin before walking into the kitchen
The elder brothers smiled, because they knew it was in the bag
The youngest turtle walked into the kitchen to find his sister making tea.
"Hey" He said, no intention in his voice
"What do you want?" She asked, snapping at him
"Grumpy are we?" Mikey asked
"Sorry, I had a long flight from Japan" Jasmine replied, sipping her tea
"It's alright, I'm glad you're here" He said, sending her a smile
"Okay look….Will you guys come out?" She said
He looked to see his three brothers heads poke through the door way.
"Okay look, tomorrow you guys need to be up for training around eight o'clock." She said, taking another gulp of tea
"Training?" Raph said, confused
"Yes, training. That's all I'm telling you, I will explain everything else tomorrow. I am very tired, so I am going to bed." She said, before walking off
"I wish tomorrow was already here" Don said, curios to what was their training
"It will be soon" Leo said, as they all went to their respective rooms
Best Christmas ever, he thought, as he lay down in bed.
Jasmine once again filled his dreams, as he fell to sleep.
What is the skill?
Will the boys ever find out the answers to their questions?
