So after reading please R2 (Rate and Review)!
Thank you for doing so!
AN: Thank you to Lilninjawolf for the name suggestion, I also received another which might be used later in the story. Satoru means perceptive and understanding in Japanese.
ENJOY!
"You really think this will work?" She said, fiddling with the necklace around her neck
She was nervous.
When she was nervous, any hint that she was a hothead faded into nothingness while her attention was on the thing…or person…that her nervousness was about. She knew Jasmine could take care of herself, kick the ninjas' butts to the moon and then smile like it was nothing, but still you couldn't blame her for being slightly on edge.
"Yes, the Foot will be confused by double the male turtles" The redhead human, April she believed her name was, had devised a plan to back up the yellow bandanna. They were going to use the four belts to create an illusion that there were two of the males, instead of one.
"More like dazed and shocked" Mikey smirked, she looked from the wall to the orange bandanna. The little turtle reminded her so much of Alice it was slightly scary, they thought she didn't notice the looks they were given each other, but she did. She would have to talk to the male later, telling him to back the fuck off of her younger sister. At the moment that idea was on hold as she was worried about the situation at hand.
She began pacing, listening and thinking about what the hell was going on above them at the same time.
"Either that or we'll kick their asses" Her arch rival at the moment replied, she shoved down a growl. Supposedly she was to be his double, Alice had already called dibs on Mikey and Simone had paired with the shyer male, which had left her with two options. Being told that Romeo, as her sister's…boyfriend, she really wished that it wasn't mate just yet…was called, was just like her sister she knew that being his twin wasn't the best idea. She would growl in irritation every moment when they got up there, which was something her elder never did. That left…
Him.
Stupid male, why did he have to be so damn irritating? Calling her babe, not even apologizing, it fucking pissed her off. Moving a piece of red hair from her eyes, she somehow connected eyes with the bastard. She stopped pacing, freezing coincidently in close proximity to him.
Everything else faded, he looked at her with a look of guilt. He hadn't apologized, but did he want to? He seemed intimidated by her, which must be strange for him considering the male usually dominates the female in any and everyway. She tried to look away, but she couldn't…those eyes, his eyes looked at her with intensity that she had never seen before.
Green eyes, just like dark emerald.
"Earth to Tori! Do you copy?" She broke the gaze, looking to where her youngest sister was, which was now replaced by a second orange bandanna.
"What?" She growled, although there was much less aggression then usual in it. Looking around the room, she realized that she was the only female turtle left in the room, all eyes on her.
"Do you want to leave Jas alone? Because you seemed pretty concerned earlier" She slightly hissed in the direction of Simone's voice although she met the twin of Donatello.
Before she could answer, another spoke for her.
"Just go and get ready, me and the redhead will be there in a sec"
She looked to him; he stood defiant with a small confident smirk on his face. For some small reason, she didn't feel as much aggression arise when looking at him. The male turtles seemed to be slightly surprised at his comment; did he not do this often?
"Whatever dude" The two orange clones went out the window which had magically been released from her sister's clutches
"Don't kill him, Jas will be pissed" The gray bandanna disguised as a purple one muttered under her breath, knowing she could hear it, before she and her partner also went out into the day
The natural blue bandanna had an eye ridge raised at his brother, but he followed the four without a word, although not before shooting what could only be a warning look to the red brother. The redhead followed, only giving her a kind look that said to hurry up and for some reason she didn't growl at it.
With the room cleared of turtles despite her and her supposed twin, which left…what was his name again? Ummmm…Carlos? No. Carter? Nope. Case? Uh…-y? That was it! Casey got up and left them alone but not before shooting an amused look to the male turtle. What did he think they were going to do, besides her punching him for earlier!
Not five seconds of silence had passed, before he let out a sigh.
"What? What the fuck do you want?" Her question was demanding, but it took her mind off the fact that she had no idea how she was going to turn into…him. She had been determined to keep him out of her mind at all costs, know he had to be the only frikin thing on her mind. It turned out that any other thoughts, beside who you were thinking of, would screw up the process and make the image different. Considering that they were trying to freak out the foot, this was not good.
He turned to face her; she glared a hole in his head ignoring his attempts to meet her gaze.
"I want to say that I'm sorry" She froze, was he actually…the big tough male was…he was…apologizing. All her glaring stopped; she looked towards his eyes, trying not to get sucked in.
"Hn" The throaty one word answer wasn't due to rudeness, but the face that she was utterly tongue tied as they met eyes.
"So…" He rubbed the back of his head, like he was slightly embarrassed…why would he be? "…I didn't mean to offend you; I was just saying it out of habit"
She raised an eye ridge; he froze in what seemed like terror for a moment, before relaxing as a small smile came to her face. He seemed to wait for an answer, she let the tension build, which seemed to be taking effect on him. The male had probably wondered what he had done wrong, if she would go off or something.
"I was wondering if we could start over, we seemed to get off on the wrong foot" He added quickly
"Sure" She replied smoothly, although her pulse was slightly high due to his gaze
"Raphael, call me Raph" He held his hand out in a casual gesture
"Victoria, nickname's Tori" They shook firmly, before they went back to looking into the other's eyes
"We should join them" He said, his tone was calmer and his eyes were no longer racked with guilt or fear
"Yup" She looked down to the silver belt, but she couldn't focus. Looking away from him for a moment, she tried to focus on the one called Raphael, but found she couldn't. She wondered if he had notice, she hoped he hadn't…
"Having trouble focusing on me?"
…but he had.
Looking back to her supposed twin, she became locked with the eyes. Her hand snaked down to press the belt, the fabric covered her as she looked into…
His eyes, the perfect blend of dark green with the light version.
Green eyes.
She looked down to see that she was him "You wish, hothead" She smirked. The two headed towards the window, he stepped aside.
"Ladies first, babe" She shot him a look of annoyance, pushing him across the room before climbing outside. Hearing him follow, she quickly scaled the fire escape to where the other males were.
"Raph?" One of the Leos said
"Do I look like Raph?" She retorted, hearing the real male behind her
"Yes, you do" Alice's voice replied
"Whateva, we're here" The real red bandanna broke in
"Ready?" The head honcho of the plan said, moving the fake blue bandanna out of her face
"So are we cool?" He whispered from behind her, somehow the others didn't hear
"We'll see…red" She threw in the color to annoy him, before sprinting onto the roof, the others on seconds behind. Taking the right side, she glared at the foot while drawing the red Sais similar to her own. She looked to see the others in place, the real Raph by her side. For some reason, she felt…safe with him there, beside her, ready to kick ass. Not by any sort of plan, a snarl ripped from her throat with his seeming to harmonize perfectly. Daring not to take her eyes off of the enemy, she wondered if he had the same smirk on her face as she did.
Maybe things would work out okay, maybe she wouldn't kill him…
…although that was still an option.
At the moment, the fiery redhead female was leaning against a wall. After saying goodbye to her human friends, Jasmine had swept them back down into the sewer and into the males' home. She was surprised to find that it was clean, not what she expected at all. She had blocked out most of the conversation, although she had noticed that Raph had taken a place in close range to her, which was annoying her greatly.
So she didn't hate him, but seriously she needed space and punching him through the brick still seemed like a decent option.
"…you can stay here, I'll be back soon"
Her head snapped up, as she roared "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?"
All the males, including her male ego jumped, while the females were used to it. While she was the only one that had expressed it, the other two younger sisters' faces had the same expression on their faces as she did.
She.
was.
leaving.
WHAT THE HELL?
"No, I have to see the ninja tribunal" Her sister had already explained that they checked up on her…making she was still alive…blah blah blah.
"Why tonight?" Alice asked, the males standing back due to her outburst. For some reason they were afraid of her, which seemed to happen to her a lot, it was most likely her attempt to kill a certain red bandanna.
"You can stay here and watch movies, get to know each other better, I'll be back by morning" That plan did sound good but it left out one crucial fact…
They were going to be alone with four males that they barely knew, including one that she somewhat wanted to kill.
That sounded like a great plan.
"Woopee" She grumbled
"Chill, you'll get to do whatever you want and besides what you think, the guys are really nice" Jasmine joined her, she sighed
"I'm fine with Mikey!" The youngest squealed
"Donatello seems generally kind, I would love to study his turtle research" Simone added, which for her was the same reaction as Alice's
Jasmine looked to her and took in her expression.
"So it's mainly the two elders you guys are unsure about?" You could tell that the yellow bandanna was slightly disappointed that one of the two males that they didn't like was her boyfriend…but for some reason she never thought that it was for that reason they didn't like him.
"Well Leo seems okay, but the other is like a second Tori, which we don't need" She growled in the pink bandanna's direction, causing the males to raise eye ridges.
"Something wrong?"
They all looked to the Alpha of the pack, who had taken a step forward towards them.
"No, but could you give us a moment?" Leo nodded at her request, as he and the others cleared out, even though they knew that they would be listening.
She turned to face them, the look on her face told them she meant business.
"Look, you'll be fine. Leo will make sure that you are comfortable and so will the others…" She was cut off
"Because they know you'll kick their ass" Tori smirked, the eldest nodded
"It's only one night, I'll be back in the morning and we can go out to eat" A smile came to their faces
"Our choice?" Alice asked, considering the deal
"Of course" Jasmine replied, knowing she had them hooked
"I don't know…" Simone was the greatest deal breaker ever; she was trying to sweeten the pot
"My treat, any place and any price" That did it, there was no refusing a free breakfast anywhere with no spending limit.
"Deal" She held out her hand, becoming the delegate for the younger sisters
"Be back tomorrow, don't kill anyone and be nice" The three rolled their eyes
"Yes, mother" Tori retorted in pure sarcasm, her big sister hated being called that
"Tor-Tor, don't kill anyone okay? Be a good girl" Snickering was heard from beyond the room, they assumed it was the guys, as Jasmine talked in a baby voice
She growled in irritation at the comment, but there was no stopping the eldest.
"Also, your blankie is in my room, all clean like you wanted." Hardly contained laughs filled the room; the younger two were almost rolling on the floor. Her blanket had been made by their mother, but she hadn't used it in ages. Although relived that it had been rescued from a fiery demise, she was mad that Jasmine was using it to humiliate her.
"I even used that lavender soap you like, try not to slobber on it okay…baby?"
She twitched, that was completely uncalled for. Howls of uncontrollable laughter sounded, she glared at her elder.
"Jasmine!" She hissed, unable to say it in real life
"Love you too" The yellow bandanna moved through the door, disappearing before she could feel her wrath
She stomped to the empty doorway, prepared to cuss out her elder, only to find that there was no one there. Turning to face her sisters, they knew that laughing at her was not the best idea, the laughter from them ceased.
Yet there were still four voices.
Quickly turning the corner, she grabbed the first thing her hand could curl around, which just happened to be a piece of red material. Silence took over as she looked into his shocked eyes.
"Do you have a punching bag in this place?" She snarled in anger towards Jasmine, although she guessed that the male thought it was to him.
"Uh…we..." Mikey stuttered, but she wasn't asking him
"PUNCHING BAG! NOW! " She roared, the slightly petrified male pointed in the direction of what she thought was their gym
Releasing the mask clenched in her fist, she stormed in the direction that he was pointing, with one word said before she was gone.
"Thanks"
While the others just stood in shock the sisters looked on from the other room.
"Interesting" Alice smirked evilly
She had said thank you, maybe she and Raph would actually get along…maybe something more.
"Very interesting indeed" Simone replied, before joining their hosts for the night.
He awoke with a throbbing pain in all aspects of his body. Every nerve, every place felt like it was on fire. A cool hand replaced the cloth he felt crushing his forehead. Everything ached, burned. Where was he? The last think he remembered was falling and being caught…but by who?
"How is he?" A voice asked, he had no idea who
"Nothing has changed" Another replied,
A third voice added a comment "What happened Satoru? Why did you retreat?" the words were said like the voice was asking him, he could not reply.
The name, he recognized it, was it his?
He waded through the foggy memories, digging through ones buried long ago, trying to remember…
"Satoru!"
He looked around to see three figures come to him; they playfully raced to see who got there first.
"Yes?" He asked, as they smiled at him
"Will you practice with us?" They went to grab his metal axes, he was finally old enough to have them and he never let them out of his sight. He easily dodged, before tickling them, giggles erupting from them.
"Of course, go get your weapons" They raced off, he stood there watching…
He tried to move, he felt his eyelids flutter but not open…it hurt too much.
"Brother, are you awake?" A voice asked, it was low but filled with concern
Brother? He had no brothers; he was an only child…
"Satoru!"
He watched as they hurried back, wooden weapons in hand
"Ready?" He jumped back, as they tried to pounce on him
They landed in a pile; they looked up at him while he towered over.
"Brother!"
"Not fair!"
"Stop moving!"
He smirked, as they rose to rush at him again.
A sharp pain blossomed inside his head, a fire lit. He wanted to scream, it overwhelmed him. A yell escaped his throat; he wanted to clutch his head, what was this?
Why did it burn?
Three hands, three voices reached out to him…he could answer none of their questions.
"Satoru!"
"Brother, are you alright?"
"Say something!"
Who were they, who were these voices?
The pain overwhelmed him, everything else was forgotten.
Only darkness.
Another looked to darkness, to the newly rebuilt tower the one that had replaced the one she had destroyed. It looked the same as it always had in the past, lights illuminating it, although there were a few new features.
Numerous guards, both in uniform and in ninja's cloak.
Bullet proof windows, blasters on the roof.
High speed cameras on every entrance and exit to capture her.
He was prepared, he didn't underestimate her.
Just the way she liked it.
Moving her black hair out of the way of her eyes, she jumped to the ground. Moving from shadow to shadow, she easily bypassed the pitiful security attempt to keep her out.
Moving to out side the monster's keep, she readied herself. It was vital to talk to him, not fight. Protection, she had to keep her promise to them. He was a demon who refused to be ignored, who would never go away, she had to face him. She felt the weight if her swords, she would not drawn them tonight, not unless she had to.
Pushing revenge from her mind, she opened the door.
She met two eyes, both glared at her.
The monster's dark black eyes.
Reviews? Please!
