A/N: Oh man, I struggled all day with this chapter. I kept referencing and trying figure out how to put what was in my head onto the document and I'm hoping I succeeded. Praying that this doesn't disappoint because I honestly gave it all I got. Please review!

"Ready?" He asked. She didn't answer and instead leaned up on her toes to kiss him. Shiho was falling harder for him and there was nothing to stop her from being drawn further and further into that feeling of love the longer she stood there with him. The ninja pulled back when he felt the moisture on her cheek and her brows knit together, had she missed him that much? He just saw her last night. "What? Not good?"

"It's not that," The arms around his neck tightened as she closed her eyes and bit her lip. Leo pulled her against him, thinking that might comfort her. But when she smiled he was confused. "It's just, no one ever cared enough about me to do something so wonderful."

Leo's tense arms relaxed and he smiled at her.

"Well, I'm doing it now. So stop crying about it," He said softly and wiped that streak away with his thumb, lifting her chin back up. Those beautiful lips parted for a kiss and he greeted them happily and lifted her against him by the thighs, wrapping the sun-kissed limbs around him and made his way over to his-…their bed.

"Those memories will go away, starting right now,"

"I can't help but feel nervous, Leo," Shiho said through the motions of kissing her ninja. Leo chuckled softly against her lips and looked at her as he set her down on her feet and bumped her calves against the bed.

"Heh, why? We've done this before," Kisses traveled down her jaw to the nape of her neck while his hands roamed her back and dropped to her rear, gripping the soft flesh. Leo had been desperate to get his hands on her for the last week, finally feeling those supple and full curves in his palms put him at immense ease. His teeth teased the thin, sensitive skin against her neck. She smiled at him.

"I have no idea," Her hands worked and succeeded in pulling off the blue mask. Shiho loved the way his face looked with it on, it gave him a sense of mystery and left her with a lingering curiosity to see more. With it off, he wasn't that serious, honor-bound ninja and was just Leonardo, but more importantly under the mask he was her lover.

"Don't be nervous," He said, taking another nip at her heated skin and raising a small whimper between her pouted lips. His thumb grazed against her glossy bud. "No more talking, just show me how much you missed me,"

Shiho had long since abandoned her flat shoes and thin panties, letting them drop down her toned calves to gather around her ankles. Leo focused on getting those belts and swords off his back and fought with his elbow and kneepads before returning to her with his hands cupping her face. Dozens of kisses greeted her trembling lips and left him to question just how badly she wanted this. With a good grip on her tight butt, Leo grinned.

"Up we go,"

The ninja wasted no time in settling with his shell against the mountain of pillows she insisted that they always needed, the fox straddling his lap with hands pressing lightly on his shoulders. His fingers found the zipper on the back of her patterned sundress and slipped the straps slowly down her soft shoulders. Strong hands gripped the fabric until it almost ripped and brought her forward to bury his face in the soft, supple cleavage to inhale that warm scent she carried.

Slowly, tauntingly Leo dragged his tongue against her plush breast and danced around her pert nipple. Shiho hissed with her nails digging into his shoulders. He felt the pain but fed off it as he roughly sunk his teeth down onto her mound, hard enough to mark her.

"Y-you bit me, Leo," He'd never done that before. Leo sensed that the primal animal that lay buried deep inside was starting to show, marking her like his mate.

"You're mine," He growled, moving up to suck her neck and left a dark purple mark in his wake. Her hands spread against the top plates of his plastron, scarred and ridged from years of battles and clashes with his enemies and brothers.

The vixen's face was flushed in a tinge of pink and he couldn't help but wonder if it was from the tenderness and sheer attention she was getting. The atmosphere of intimacy and blissful erotica had the vixen intoxicated and drowning in her desires.

Now that they were finally alone, Leo couldn't help but feel like he had the real chance to marvel at the vixen without anyone barging in and stopping him short. His hands were on a mission to touch her, grab her, squeeze her; they started at her thighs, sliding under the thin fabric of her dress. His thumbs hooked the hem and began the process of pulling it off her body, taking the time to watch her ribcage roll and shift under her smooth and taut skin. With her arms above her head, Leo at last stripped her down and brought his eager hands up the front of her slim belly. Thick fingers traced the patterns of her swirling tattoos on her ribs and he grinned to see her skin react to his touch. Under his hands he could feel her shiver as he moved up to hold both of her breasts.

Shiho placed her hands on the tops of his and forced them to grip her mounds and rotate around. Leo had to stop and stare as she rocked curvy hips against the soft part of his lower shell to make his arousal grow and make an appearance. The pressure of his hardening shaft was enough to make the calm and collected ninja absolutely insane as he fought to keep his tail and shaft together a little longer. Leo secretly thanked himself for lighting the candles and abandoning traditional light, the shadows that danced and flicked over her naked body were enough to make him hard as stone.

Leo moved his hands away from her breasts and traveled up her fragile neck to grasp the sides of her face. The look he gave her made her heart jump in her chest and speed up in its pace, the butterflies wreaking havoc in her belly. A look that exclaimed I love you but did so in sweet silence. The subtle rolls and grinding in her lovely hips didn't falter as he stared, if anything they intensified in their gravity and force making him groan. Thumbs caressed her cheeks and she smiled.

"Hm, you're so beautiful," Almost instantly that pink blush deepened to a stark crimson. Pulling her down, Leo danced his hands down her curved spine and rested on her plump ass. "C'mere,"

Shiho didn't dare disobey and kissed Leo with parted lips which he forced to a complete open with his demanding tongue. Against her belly, Shiho could feel just how needy Leo was becoming; firmly against her skin his erection twitched and ached to meet with her body. A shaky, small hand traveled between them as they tasted each other and slithered tongues. Gently at first, Shiho coiled her fingers around Leo's length and he hissed in response.

"Shiho…" He said against her hot mouth, rocking up into her hand which slowly stroked him into an agonizing need. Up and down her tiny hand coaxed moan and after moan out of Leo's throat with his head back against the pillows. She'd never actually touched him like that before and wondered where she learned it from; April no doubt. His thoughts turned off when the smooth skin of her flat tummy brushed against his sensitive penis making him thrust upward without control.

"Nngh…like that," Leo was going slowly insane, his vision blurred when her grip tightened and her friction increased with her speed. Already, he was coating her hand in bits of his hot essence and left him to ponder about how her own arousal was coming along. With a guiding hand on her hips, he made her sit up straight and used his left digits to rub against her mound.

"Leo-..!" Already, Shiho was moist. But he wanted her soaking, and he'd do so by prodding at her core with the head of his length. Fingertips twirled around her sensitive clit, those beautiful hips of hers jolting out of control and her arousal growing to a dripping consistency. Barely pressing his firm, thick erection inside and pulling back out, Shiho chewed into her lip with those cute canines. By the way she was gasping, he had guessed Shiho was slipping away into her lustful nature. The wild buck of her hips solved that mystery.

"Tell me," He ordered, barely entering the tortured fox and left her quivering when he held tightly to her hips. He wasn't about to let her move until he said she could even though she tried. Letting go of his hard erection, Shiho gripped the pillows on either side of his head and clenched her teeth tightly together.

"I want it, Leo..S-so bad," She gasped, hunching her shoulders until her shoulder blades pressed against her skin. Small, teasing thrusts brought her back to focus. "Give it to me.."

"Not good enough," His voice was low and sexy, a sound that made her ears buzz. Rubbing the head of his penis against her trembling folds, Leo stared firmly at her gaping lips. Her canines coated in a layer of her saliva, oh she was so desperate. "You better tell me what you want, or you'll get nothing."

Leo was being cruel on purpose. Her shuddering breaths and twitching hips told him that.

"F-..fuck me Leo..!" She gasped when his thumb pressed hard against her swollen numb like a button to get the reaction and answer he wanted. "P-please, Leo. I need you to fuck me,"

"Good girl," Shiho nearly screamed her voice the most erotic sound he'd ever heard when he plummeted deep inside her hot core. After what felt like an eternity apart, Leo was finally inside the warm and slick womanhood of Shiho's that he'd been in agony missing. It didn't take more than a second for the smooth walls of her body to come around his invading shaft and hold him tightly. The ridges inside her quivered to be stroked and rubbed with vigorous friction, something she was all to eager to have.

"Mmn…s-..so..big," She gasped, fighting to stay above the level of drowning in need. Leo smirked, she fed into his ego with the mention of his size. The mutant had every bit of space inside her quivering chamber filled…stuffed to capacity and the sensation had her absolutely writhing in his lap.

With a curve in her spine, Shiho leaned forward to latch mouths with Leonardo in a sloppy and barely contained kiss. He liked it messy, to feel their saliva mix and watch it dribble down her chin and neck. But Leo never guessed she'd be this tight in this position, his mind reeled when she used the strength in her thighs to rock her pelvis up and down and forward and back. Shiho was positively gorgeous wearing that expression of raw pleasure on her face as she rode the ninja to euphoric bliss, and she rode him hard.

Shiho gasped sharply and used her hands against his chest to steady herself as Leo slipped a strong hand into her hair and buried his fingers into the roots, giving the strands rough tug and yanking her head back. Leo was getting crude in the way he touched her, his other hand firmly slapping her on the ass and gripping the muscled cheek in his palm. Shiho didn't seem to mind and rocked and thrust herself onto his twitching length harder and much faster. With clenched teeth, Leo couldn't stop himself from adding to the friction and pierced his mewling fox in synchronicity with her gyrations. The motion almost made her arms give out as her tight rear slapped down against his firm thighs in each downward thrust.

"Leo!" She choked his name out as he assaulted her swollen sweet spot with the intensity to make her see stars. Her hips slowed down and let him take over, grinding her mound down vigorously to press him as far inside her as she could stand. He could see that glow in her eyes become bright in her heightened ecstasy, a discovery that he was keeping to himself.

"Don't you dare stop," Leo snarled when he suddenly noticed her stopped motions. When she made no intention to move, he growled and hooked his leg around her and rolled over until she was pinned beneath him. Firmly holding her thigh against his side, Leo pitched his stiff shaft into her ever tightening core with the gusto of a man on the edge. An arch in her back gave him the chance to slide an arm under her and hold her tight.

"Ahhn..h-harder.." Her voice was remarkably mousy as she sank into the pillows under his weight. A deeply pleasured scream crawled up her throat when he did as she requested, the soft plates of his shell thumping against her womanhood. Leo didn't even care that her nails were gripping his arms until blood puckered under and trickled down the muscle, he took it as encouragement that he was doing just what she wanted.

"Jesus, Shiho…" He mumbled, not slowing or stopping as the slick walls of her filled core tightened around his thrusting penis and threatened to not let go. Tossing her head to the side with her eyes clenched shut in a sign of submission, Shiho spoke between panting, labored breaths.

"A-…almost, Leo," The lust driven vixen coiled her tongue around his with her arms hugging him by the neck. This wasn't the first time the pair was doing this, but he'd never seen her face look the way it did. A mixture of need, want, lust, and deep desire. Any lingering doubts or fears that Shiho didn't want to stay together because of her secret want for offspring vanished when her gaze held him in a steady lock. Shiho wouldn't bother wasting her time with him like this if she didn't truly want to stay.

Spending so much time apart left their bodies filled with so much angst, Leo was already on the verge of finishing. He wanted to go all night but his body was about to betray him. He couldn't deny the rapture and jubilation that filled his senses when she was like this, writhing and crying out, moaning and clenching his length so hard he couldn't see straight. His arms buckled and he almost collapsed against her.

"Shiho, I'm-...I'm," He couldn't get the words out and slammed with all the force he could into her depths and she screamed something beautiful. He felt her muscles seize and a rush of warmth come over him from inside her as she hit the roof in her climax. His body waited not 2 seconds more before the head of his shaft twitched and Leo grunted against her neck, gripping her thigh in a hold that bruised her skin as he released into her hot depths.

The deepest of groans rumbled in Leo's chest and throat, the sound tickling her ears and making her pelvis react and buck against him. The thrusting slowed, his shaft rubbing her insides until they vibrated and eventually came to a halt.

"Leo…Leo, darling," Shiho's hands pet his face, her palms moist from his sweat. Shiho's insides and cervix burned, Leo came. She reeled in the sting that his body gave hers and laid perfectly still, well…as still as she could while shaking like a leaf on a tree. Leo's face remained buried in the crook of her neck as he gasped dryly and tried to steady his heartbeat. "A-are you alright?"

Leo looked up and smiled at her. The violet bangs clung to the sides of her angelic face from the sweat he'd worked her into. Leo sucked in a shaky breath and kissed her damp forehead.

"Yeah…I'm okay," Leo hadn't pulled out of her yet; he wanted the warmth to last just a little longer and rubbed the smoothness of her thigh. The tall ears on her head straightened out flat as she adjusted herself under his weight. Her thighs had an unfamiliar ache, a sharp and piercing pain she hadn't felt before. "Are you?"

"Mm…never been better," Leo chuckled and slowly retracted himself out of her depths and slumped over to her right. Now she looked at her thighs to figure out what that strange pain was. "Leo!"

Groaning, Shiho fell back against her pillow. The insides of both of her thighs had been rubbed raw and deeply bruised from the slamming of the rim from his top shell. Leo sheepishly chuckled and quickly bought her under the covers and crushed her soft form against him. Shiho was shaking so hard, he hadn't anticipated she wanted it that bad. Wanted him. It made him want to kiss her all night.

"That was amazing, Babe," She cooed, nuzzling close under his chin. Leo sighed contently and ran his hand down the back of her head, folding her ears down as he went along.

"Let's not wait so long to do it again, yeah?" With a trembling hand, Shiho pat the top of his bicep as she settled her panting into slow and steady breaths.

"Deal,"

In the apartment, the brothers had all sat through April ranting about romance and sensitivity until she at last shut up and they played poker at the table. Splinter sat in comfortable peace with his soap operas that April had recorded for him. Around the table in the kitchen, the turtles ducked behind their hands of cards and snickered. None of them had very good poker faces, especially Michelangelo.

"So how do you think it's going with Leo and Shiho?" Donnie said, tossing in a few poker chips. Between Raph and Casey, they giggled like idiots.

"Really? You need to ask? You shoulda seen his room, Donnie. It was just dripping with candles. He's probably givin' it to her right now," Raph snorted. He had no tact.

"Well jeez, Raphael. Way to make our brother sound like a sleaze," Donnie replied from behind his cards. Mikey laughed at slapped his hand down with a grin.

"Full house!" Everyone stared in disbelief.

"Dammit! That's the fourth game tonight!" Raph growled and slammed his cards on the table as Mikey gathered all of the chips with both arms. He grinned like a fool and stuck his tongue out at his seething brother.

"Don't be mad that I'm better than you at cards AND ninjitsu. Jealousy is not a good thing, dudes. OW! What was that for?!" Another slap to the head.

"For being Mikey," Donnie rose from his seat and went over to rest beside his sensei, laptop in his hands with the flash drive with Shiho's information. He was going to keep looking for whatever could possibly explain the presence of that shadow creature from the other night. While he wasn't as worried as Leonardo had been, he was deeply bothered.

File after file, 3 hours, and 5 cups of coco later, Donnie was about to give up until he came across a folder that was titled "Micah." Rubbing his chin, the genius went with his hunch and opened the file to see what was inside. His eyes almost popped out from behind his mask and he exclaimed loudly, nearly startling poor Splinter to death.

"OH MY GOD!" His outburst attracted his brothers and fellow friends to hover around him behind the couch.

"What the hell is the matter, Don?" Raph said, he sounded agitated. Pointing at the screen, Donnie showed them all just what his issue was. It was a file that was similar to Shiho's. Only, it was for another fox hybrid. Except this one was a male.

"Subject's name is Micah, and he's the same age as our Shiho. Black hair and green eyes," Donnie read. They all had a bad feeling. "In the notes Marcus wrote that the bonding process between subject and first hybrid, Shiho, is failing. But he wanted to continue so that eventually they would…mate?"

"Leo is going to flip," April said, gripping the back of the couch with her hands.

"She's got a mate? But what about Leo?" Raph said, trying to get a grasp on this information.

"Says here she kept fighting with Micah, lashing out at him physically whenever he tried to touch her. So, she was still a virgin when she and Leo got together, that much is true. But, this is still unsettling. This guy…he's following her. He must have gotten out the night the lab was destroyed and has been looking for her ever since," Donnie finished and scanned the document for anything else.

"Hey look at this, a file named 'Pack?'" He exchanged glances with his brothers and friends and received a nod from Splinter.

"Open it, Donnie," Raph grumbled. The genius double clicked the folder and found more files similar to the Micah file. Only there were three more, all with different titles; Fiona, Aanika, and Saundra.

"Looks like Shiho wasn't the only one they made. But none of these are clones like Magdalena. Let's see, Fiona; a surrendered embryo 3 years after Shiho. Fox hybrid with a timid personality. Red hair and hazel eyes," Donnie read off the document. This unraveling mystery to the laboratory was becoming insane. Not only was Shiho not alone, but she never mentioned any other hybrids. Perhaps she thought them dead after the lab fire.

"What is it with this guy? What else Donnie?"

"I'm looking Raph. Okay, Aanika. Ah man, this girl was surrendered only 4 years ago, she's a toddler. Fox hybrid with pale brunette hair and blue eyes. Looking at Marcus' notes, she was particularly fond of Shiho, you know, clung to her like she was her mother," As Donnie went on Splinter's ears drooped in growing sadness. So many children given up for a life of science experimentation. He couldn't understand why any parent would want to sell their children for the exchange of money. Mikey actually was silent, he was in rare disbelief. Raph on the other hand, growled.

"This guy really has a thing for foxes don't he? Any turtles in there?" Donnie chuckled lightly and opened the last file. His eyes darted all over the page and scrolled faster than any of them could keep up.

"Well, Saundra here is 20 years old. She's the only one who isn't a fox. It looks like he was experimenting with reptilian DNA," Raph leaned in closer to look at the profile picture. "Let's see, looks like some form of gecko. She's the most aggressive out of the bunch, dirty blonde with brown eyes,"

"So, you mean to tell me, that not only is Shiho not alone…but there are four more of these things wandering around New York?" Casey said. Donnie shrugged.

"Not sure, the only one we've seen is this Micah character. And it looks like, from the way he's been stalking Shiho, he's trying to make her his mate," Raph couldn't help but laugh. He knew for a fact that Leo wasn't going to let her go that easily. Especially after tonight.

"I'd like to see him try. Leo would slice and dice him before he could blink,"

"I wouldn't be so sure, Raph. None of them were diagnosed with The Madness like Shiho, but this one and Saundra…they're ranked just as deadly as Shiho. Maybe worse," The group fell silent and all thought of their fellow blue masked turtle. They were afraid of what this discovery would do to him. He just got Shiho back, they couldn't imagine what he'd do if he found out someone else was trying to take her away again.

"We keep this under wraps until we get home. And then, we tell Shiho that Micah is out there. One thing at a time guys,"

Yeah, one BIG thing at a time.

Leonard and his divine fox were on round number three at just after 1 am. It seemed that in their time apart, they were building up and storing enough energy to have sex for weeks. Which, Leo wouldn't mind except for the fact that now Shiho's thighs looked like a Paint By Numbers project and her tight little entrance had become raw and immensely sore. She wasn't going to be sitting normally for a few days and he was just fine with that. All a sign that he'd made powerful love to his woman and made damn sure that she wouldn't-...couldn't be satisfied by anyone else.

"Oh man…I think..ahh I think we're done for tonight," Leo said with a gasp. He pulled out of the trembling fox that was on her hands and knees and absolutely spent. Letting go of the thick tuft of hair he'd grabbed onto Leo collapsed onto his back side to her right after slapping her on the ass to finish. Her thighs quaked and her knees knocked together, he looked so smug with his hands laced behind his head. He'd done just what he promised and left her trembling but oh so satisfied.

"You sure know how to keep a promise, don't you Leo?" Laying down onto her side and facing him, her arm slithered under the pillow to support her head and relax. Man, Leo hadn't felt this good…this exhilarated in years. All thanks to that little fox that was staring at him through long eyelashes.

"Told you I would make those pretty little thighs of yours shake," He said, tucking a thick lock of her hair over her bare shoulder. All over her neck and collar bone, even parts of her breasts were decorated in dark Leo bites. He'd made sure to lay claim to her body.

"Shiho?"

"Hm?" She spoke, opening her ear to listen.

"I was kind of…wondering if you'd…" He fumbled around in his brain for the words to say. "See, according to Donnie, we're all getting to that age where we start looking for our mates, you know what I mean?"

Puzzled, Shiho's brows furrowed slightly as she shifted her gaze away and back at him.

"Not…entirely? I thought what we just did—"

"Exactly. Maybe I did it without asking but all those marks, my scent all over you? I just made you my mate. I sort of got carried away, see, and maybe I should have asked first and—"

"Leo! Jesus, calm down. I already know, Donnie ran this by me when he stopped by a few days ago to check up on me. But, I thought that because I'm a fox-human hybrid that I couldn't be your mate," Damn she was cute when she looked downtrot, like she wasn't going to get her way.

"Nah see, being a mutant means I get to bend the rules a little. And since the beginning, I've always wanted it to be you. And I know that…" He looked away for a moment to gather himself. "I know I can't exactly give you any kids. I know we're in love, but just some differences don't work out,"

"So you did hear us that night at April's," The way he sighed brought her closer to his body, her slender fingers gently grazing down his neck. "I'm okay with it, Leo. Really. I don't need to get pregnant to be as happy as I am right now. You're all I need, understand?"

Leo gulped, though she said it didn't matter, he still couldn't help but feel like he was holding her back. But when she made it sound like he really was all she'd ever need, he believed her.

"Yeah. So, you're okay with this? Being my mate? We both have those deep rooted animal instincts, why not feed into a few of them," Shiho burst into a soft laugh and tucked herself under his chin and laid against his shoulder.

"Mhmm, I'll be your mate. And you'll be mine. I don't want whatever else the world gives me, because it isn't you,"

"Jeez you're a sap," He teased.

"Shut-up, Domehead and kiss me," She spat with a tiny hint of fox fury.

"Happy to," He said, and leaned down and lifted her chin by pressing with his fingers and kissed her. Softer than all of the other kisses tonight. One thing was for sure, Shiho wasn't going to let anyone get between her and what she wanted the most; Leo. She'd go down fighting before anyone or anything tried to take her happiness, hell, her family away.

Not now.

Not ever.

Although, one hybrid in particular had other plans…

A/N: I feel lik i just rambled with this one after the smut e-e. But it was important rambling! D: I swear! I doubt if I'll play in ALL of the hybrids, just the necessary ones. Playing around with a few ideas in my head, I feel bad that Leo is the only one who gets any tail. But anyway, we'll see!
