"Hello, I am Myomoto Usagi." The boy introduced.
"Hello. I am Leonardo. These are my siblings, Raphael, Donatello, Chloe and Michelangelo." Leo greeted as he pointed to each person in turn.
"Usagi lives here with my son and I." Daimyo explained, to which Usagi nodded.
Chloe rubbed the back of her head. She had never met someone like herself. She had always thought there wasn't anyone like herself. Yet here was a mutant rabbit. A male mutant rabbit at that.
"I notice your weapons," Usagi said suddenly. "there is a dojo downstairs, if you would like."
The kids smiled. "Sure, why not?" Donnie replied.
"Good, I will show the way." Usagi stated.
~Lost Bunny~
"Wow." Chloe whispered as she entered the dojo. It was over three times as big as their own, with enough room for a whole village, by the look of it. Weapons of all kinds decorated two of the walls, the light bouncing off the metal objects.
"Yes, it took me a while to become used to this as well." Usagi said with a small chuckle.
"So ya didn't always live with Diaymo?" Raph asked.
Usagi sighed and sat down on a nearby bench. "Yes, that is true. I used to live with my father in Japan, but he has since died."
"I am so sorry Usagi." Leo said, sitting next to his new friend.
"No, it was 2 years ago, I need to move on. Besides, Daimyo and his son were good friends of my father. They kindly took me in when I had no other place to go."
"I can relate." Chloe said with a sad smile, sitting on the other side of Usagi.
Usagi smiled back before getting up. "Well, we came down here to the dojo, would you like to spar perhaps?"
"Sure." The others replied.
"Leonardo-San, would you like to go first?"
"Sure thing Usagi." Leo replied.
They both got into position. Leo drew one of his Katana from his back as Usagi drew a sword from his side. They bowed to one another before the fight started. They proved to be quite similar in skill, and there was no obvious winner.
"This could take a while." Mikey whispered to Raph.
"Yeah, it takes long enough when Fearless is fightin' one of us. We'll be 'ere for ever if we wait for 'em." Raph whispered back.
No sooner had Raph said that, the sound of someone grunting entered his ears. He turned to find Leo on the floor, Usagi pointing a Katana at him. He put in back in its holder and held a hand out for Leo, who took it and stood up.
"Good match Usagi." Leo praised rotating his left shoulder.
"You too Leonardo-San." Usagi replied.
"Wow, you're really good Usagi. None of us can beat Leo." Mikey stated.
"Yeah, did your father teach you Ninjitsu?" Donnie asked.
"No." Usagi replied. "Where I come from ninjas are disrespectful scum. You give them a better name."
"So where'd ya learn ta fight?" Raph questioned.
"My father was teaching me to become a samurai." Usagi explained. "I was to continue to serve our Lord Noriyuki, as he had done. Yet I have not been back to my homeland since my fathers passing. I only hope that Noriyuki is alright."
"Surely your father wasn't the only guard for your Lord." Donnie persisted.
"No, there was a girl, a Neko. However, she is as old as I am and just as inexperienced. She would attack you then ask questions. She is what you would call, a hot-head." Usagi stated, a small chuckle at the end.
Everyone looked to Raph, who simply glared at them until they were once again looking at Usagi.
"But I am certain that Tomoe Ame will be fine." Usagi finished.
"Corse she will Usagi, they wouldn't just pick anyone to protect your lord." Chloe comforted.
"You are right Chloe-San." Usagi said with a smile. "There is a woods outside if you would all like to take a walk."
"I will." Chloe said, stepping forward.
"I think we're gonna sit this one out Usagi, we need the practice." Leo stated, indicating to the mat.
"Very we'll, come Chloe." Usagi said, walking out, Chloe by his side.
"Wha' was tha' about Leo, we don' need practice." Raph said, frowning.
"I know, I just think that they may benefit from being alone." Leo replied, a knowing smile fixed on his face.
