A/N: I tried adding a little more length to this chapter after a kind reviewer asked for longer chapters. Thank you for that input! I do keep a tight hold on how long I make my chapters, I have a habit of rambling a lot of nonsense and have the bad tendency to ramble on and on. So, that's why they're the length they are. But anywayyy, we are introduced to the other hybrids some more here. Enjoy!

"Hey Raph, you comin?" Mikey called back from far ahead. Raph tore his eyes away from the tunnel and rejoined his brothers but kept his senses open. "Dude, what is it?"

"Nothin, thought I heard something. Come on, let's get back," As the brothers disappeared down into the darkness of the tunnels, the bright glow of eyes crept through the shadows taking care to stay away from the water. The intense green glow focused on the retreating shells and moved forward slowly.

"Stay close, girls. We're moving in," Micah whispered and delicately as he could to his sisters. They clung close behind him, Saundra slithered silently with Fiona right behind her. The smallest, Aanika rode on her back.

"Now…let's go get Shiho…"

Donnie was the first turtle to rise in the morning, like always. He crawled out of bed and struggled to bring the focus to those honey-brown eyes behind the purple mask. After a refreshing rinse in the shower and a quick brushing of his teeth, he went on downstairs to fire up his computers and fix a cup of coffee. He was surprised to see the television turned on and tall fox ears twitching back and forth on the couch, so he poured two cups of coffee instead of just the one for himself.

"You're up early, Shiho," He said, coming around one end of the couch and handing over the hot mug with steam rising from the chestnut fluid inside. Shiho sat in her signature cross-legged position and gratefully reached up to retrieve the morning beverage and sat back against the cushions. She took a cautious sip and hummed from the bold taste.

"Mmm…good cup, Donnie. Yeah, Leo was restless last night and I didn't get much more than few hours. I've been up since about 5," Donnie looked at the time in the corner of the screen, she was watching the news. It was just after 7:15.

"Restless, huh? Sounds like you've got your hands full with him," They both took a long sip at the same time, the hot substance warming their insides as it went down. Shiho shrugged and tapped her nails against the mug.

"Sometimes. Nothing I can't handle. Sorry about last night," Another sip. "Mm. We didn't mean for it to get out of hand," Donnie chuckled and shook his head. He stretched his long right arm over the back of the couch and crossed his left foot over his knee. On the news, the anchor went on about some more robberies that were showing up in the Soho district, Shiho grumbled.

"Don't worry about it, we're pretty used to it now. Hey Shiho," Her left ear opened in his direction, her attention pulled from the screen to the coffee sipping turtle.

"Hm?"

"That small hybrid, Aanika," He glanced over, to see her focus had dropped into her half empty mug. "You aren't her mother are you?"

Both ears pricked up as she gave him a strange look, cock-eyed with her lip pulled up over one of her canines.

"What? No. No, she's a surrendered embryo like all of us. The only one who is related to me in any way is Maggie. Since well, she's a clone. Why?" Mug in both of her hands, she brought the porcelain to her lips for another sip.

"I dunno. I just notice the way your attitude changes when she's mentioned and not the others," Shiho polished off her drink and set the mug on the ottoman they used as a coffee table. Donnie really knew how to make a good batch of coffee.

"I guess it's because she's so young and defenseless. We were treated like prisoners and given time to 'exercise' for a few hours every day. Because she's the youngest, the others picked on her relentlessly. She doesn't talk, she just cowers and I guess I just take up for her," Donnie nodded and licked his lips of the coffee flavor. He was right in his hypothesis, that Shiho had naturally adopted the weakest member. It was something that happened every day in the animal kingdom, he just never guessed it was in a fox's nature to care about a weaker member not of its family. He imagined her humanity played a roll in her behavior.

"I see. I was just curious. What about that other one, Saundra?" Shiho chuckled and pulled the auburn hair off her shoulders and twisted it up into a loose bun at the base of her neck. Don rose a brow a tweaked a smile. "That bad huh?"

"I guess the way you could describe the energy between Sandy and I is to think of Raph and Leo. She just…never listened to me. I can't even count on both hands how many times she got physical with me," Donnie nodded, yep. Sounded just like Raphael and Leonardo. They were always butting heads and struggling with each other in one way or another, he found it oddly amusing to discover that Shiho had the same problem. He could just picture her frustrated face trying to deal with the gecko girl.

"Part of me thinks she's as, for lack of a better word, hotheaded as she is because she's the different one. I think Marcus got carried away with her, she'd fit in with you guys and blend easier than with the rest of us. But my God, she just…oh she makes me so mad," With the hand that was on the back of the sofa, he reached forward to muss up her hair and violet locks. He even gave the hilt of her ear a good rub.

"Siblings suck like that, sometimes. Raph has eased up on Leo, though. He still gives him a hard time when we go topside but for the most part, he's not nearly as bad as he used to be," Like the fox, Donnie tilted the mug back and finished off his morning kick. "Leo isn't as uptight either, but that's all thanks to you,"

He pointed at her chest.

"Me?" She asked, with a tilt in her head. Donnie found the coyness adorable and laughed when her ears twitched.

"You should have seen him before you came along. But, that's another story for another time. You hungry?...What's the matter?" He said, noticing her posture stiffen up and her attention dart towards the entrance to the lair. By the way she silently jumped over the couch and stayed low to the ground, Donnie imagined something was outside that she wanted to tear apart.

"Go get your brothers. We've got company," For a reason he couldn't understand Donnie felt his insides turn to ice when she'd said it. Just as silently as she had, Donnie took a leap over the couch and dashed upstairs to get his brothers out of bed. Out of all of them, Leonardo was the first one at her side before they all slowly gathered.

"What's so important you had to drag us—"

"Shh! Raphael, there's someone just outside. When you came home last night…did you notice anyone following you?" She said, keeping her eyes on the large door. Raphael exchanged glances with Michelangelo and Donatello before gulping. So, he did hear something last night and was now kicking himself for not investigating it. It could have been that blonde bitch after sniffing Shiho out and back for round two.

"Alright guys, stay behind me. Shiho, that means you. Donnie, open the door," Leo whispered. At his computer, Donatello accessed the door controls and made the lock open and the steel doors slid apart to reveal the darkness of the tunnels. Shiho's ears twitched furiously as she dashed between Leo's legs and towards the door. He made a mad scrambled for her tail but she was just too damn fast. "Shiho! What did I say?!"

Leo snapped his jaw shut when he noticed four pairs of eyes glowing in the darkness of the access tunnel. There was that menacing green he'd noticed before, with a set of bright grey, blue, and orange on the flanks. That deep, terrifying growl rumbled in Shiho's chest as the knuckles in her fingers cracked. Leo knew where this was going when he heard the footsteps walking into the lair.

"Hello, hello Shiho baby," Spoke a male as he stepped out of the shadows. Instantly, Shiho's guard dropped with her claws as she stood up straight with possibly the most annoyed expression any of the turtles had ever seen. "Don't look so happy to see me,"

"If I don't look happy to see you, Micah, it's because I'm not. I heard you've been following me," She said. Behind her, the brothers all firmly grasped their weapons as they watched her body language. Leo almost stepped forward when Micah approached his mate and they circled each other. They circled like lions sizing each other up and readying for a fight. He wasn't about to let this other male lay a finger on his mate. "What do you want?"

"To be together, of course. We are mates aren't we?" Despite how irritating and disgusting Micah was, he was still good looking. He was hoping he could use his sharp features and hypnotizing emerald eyes to lure Shiho into his grasp. But of course, Shiho could never find anything about the hybrid attractive.

"You only wish, Micah. I told you once; I've told you quite a few times actually, we are not mates. And quite unfortunately for you, I'm spoken for," Leo's chest broadened in his stance without him realizing it. The other hybrids that had followed with Micah were staring at his brothers like they were looking at monsters out of a horror film. Sensing the energy from her sisters, Shiho kept her eyes on Micah but paced towards Fiona.

"Shiho! I can't believe you're alive!" Beamed the soft-spoken fox. On her back, the tiny toddler stretched out her arms and Shiho fell to her knees. Leo watched as the youngster launched herself into Shiho's open embrace, his violet vixen squeezing her like she hadn't seen her in years. He felt that grip on his heart tug and squeeze when Shiho picked Aanika up and spun around without a word. Donnie found her behavior different, he always knew Shiho was deeply maternal, but to see it happening was something he enjoyed.

"Well, so this is where you've been hiding all this time. It was nice of you to come looking for us, Shiho. I can tell you missed us so much," Already, Saundra was starting as Shiho retreated back towards the turtles with the toddler in her arms. The youngster clutched at her cotton shirt with one hand and buried her face into the crook of her neck. Shiho's familiar scent instantly had a calming effect on her trembling and whimpering.

"Really? You're going to honestly fight with me now, Sandy?" Donnie and Mikey exchanged a glance, silently telling each other this looked familiar. Micah's spotlight had been stolen by the hothead reptile as she whipped her thick tail and thumped it on the ground. Raphael chuckled.

"I like her," He said, elbowing Donnie in the side.

"Who do you think you are, Shiho? You abandoned us after destroying the lab and didn't bother trying to find us. You were too busy with these freaks to give a damn, weren't you?" Shiho sighed heavily and turned towards her mate with an expression he couldn't read. He almost sputtered when she turned over the curled up toddler and plopped her in his arms.

"Wha—"

"Watch her. Raphael, back me up if it gets bad," All of them were confused when she cracked her neck and approached her reptilian sister. The gecko sneered and clenched her very sharp teeth together as the beautiful fox came closer.

"Say that again, Saundra. I dare you. You didn't come down here to reunite with me; you came down here to settle some non-existent score with me. You have something on your chest to say, now is the time. But I refuse to stand here and let you call my family and my mate freaks," There was a chill in her voice that made Leonardo and his brothers shudder. In his arms, the toddler squirmed and silently reached out for Shiho. He couldn't understand why she didn't speak. But watching Shiho get right in the gecko's face and stare her down had them all afraid a fight was about to break out.

"Here, kid," He said, pulling the tails of his bandana over his shoulder. Those little fingers tangled in the fabric and calmed her nerves. It surprised him that she wasn't screaming being in the arms of a giant turtle.

"Okay, Shiho. I've got something to say," Raphael's hands grazed over the hilt of his sai, he watched the tail of his vixen sister go rigid. It always went stiff when she was about to pounce. Where was Master Splinter?

"Then say it, if you aren't afraid to," Shiho taunted. In the midst of the tension, a loud tapping broke Shiho's focus and directed it to the shades of Splinter's meditation room. There he was with a firm and stern expression on his muzzle. "Splinter,"

"Oh great, there's more freaks," Instantly, Shiho slapped her sister hard across the face. The contact made a loud THWAP that resonated through the lair's walls and ceilings. Leo and his brothers winced, they'd all been victims of Shiho's slaps at one point or another and they stung like a bitch. Sympathetically, they all rubbed their cheeks out of habit.

"How…dare you. Get out, Saundra. You are not welcome here. Micah, that means you, too." Shiho turned on her heel without giving her reptilian sister the opening she wanted to come up with a retort. The look on Splinter's face told her that he was proud she didn't launch herself into an unnecessary fight in his home. Even the turtles looked ready to rip her a new one, even Raphael.

"You may be a hottie, but no one disrespects Master Splinter, girlie. You're lucky he's here," He said. He couldn't help but notice she had just as many curves as Shiho but her anatomy was concealed beneath her yellow and spotted skin, she didn't see the need for clothes. The glare from Shiho brought his wandering eyes off the reptile and back to the toddler that tangled her hand up in the bandana tails of Leo's mask. Fiona had joined her older sister in retreating upstairs with the turtles.

"Wait! You can't just forget about us, Shiho. You can't just forget about me, I'm your mate God damn it! You will listen to me," Shiho froze with one foot on the steps. Leo closed his eyes and sighed. By the smile Shiho wore, this guy was about to learn what it meant to order a wild spirit like her around. As Fiona sat on the steps, he set the youngster beside her and went after Shiho who had turned around and was fast on Micah.

"You are not my mate, Micah! I'm not doing this with you, not now, not ever—Leo?" Her advance had been cut short with the blade of Leo's outstretched katana across her chest. He didn't look at her and moved forward without her.

"Shiho belongs to me. I am the one she chose to mate with and stay with. If you have a problem, you will take it up with me," Intrigued, a smile all too sinister came to Micah's face. So he had been right in guessing that Shiho went against what she was made for and chose this…thing over him.

"Gotta say, her taste hasn't improved much. You wanna fight me, Turtle Boy?" The point of his katana told Shiho to stay put. Splinter's paw on her shoulder told her to hold still, that Leo knew what he was doing. Her fingers touched the warm paw and squeezed it lightly.

"I really don't want to, because I'll make a mess. You think that because something was chosen for Shiho that it's what needs to happen. Shiho chose what she wanted, and that was me," Leo grunted and Micah jumped at him and collided with crossed katana. Straining against the strength of the male fox, Leo let lose a snarl that Shiho hadn't heard before as he launched Micah across the floor. He landed on his feet and came charging at the turtle with a battle cry.

"She's mine!" Leo ducked to the side as the fox swiped his sharp claws at his head, the nails shredding a piece of his bandana. The ninja knew what those claws were capable of, the scars on Donatello's shell were evidence of their power. But, Leo had over two decades of training under his belt and this fox didn't have the danger of falling into the Madness, his chances of winning were much better than against Shiho.

"Have you ever done this before?" He chuckled as Micah threw punches high and low, trying to knock him onto his shell. He jumped to avoid the swipe of the fox's foot in an attempt to get him to trip. Leo was just humoring the black fox and not even trying, just dodging and deflecting weak blows. He'd finally had enough tricks and jumped up to swing his foot around into the side of Micah's face.

"Ah!" Cried Micah as he flew across the enormous room and collided with the wall. He wiped his now split lip and spit. Leo wasn't going to advance on an opponent weaker than him. Shiho gasped when she was being charged by Saundra and shoved Splinter out of the line of fire and took the full force hit of the gecko body slamming her into the ground.

"Dammit! Raph!" Shiho cried before Saundra cold, scaly hands wrapped around her throat and squeezed, pressing her into the stone ground. Raphael took the cue and ran as fast as he could and knocked his shell into the reptile and sent her rolling off of Shiho who sat up and coughed. After dusting herself off, Shiho gave the turtle's hand a squeeze. "Thanks,"

"Anytime, sis. You got this?" Looking up at the steps to her younger sisters and then back at Raph, Shiho grinned.

"Yeah. You and Mikey keep an eye on those two. They can't fight," Her attention broke when Saundra came running at her screaming and spun around to knock her sister down with her thick tail. Shiho growled and caught the tail and threw her away from the stairs. "Leo! Are you okay?"

"Are you kidding? This guy doesn't live up to what Donnie found in the file. Woah! Haha, you're sneaky," Leo looked to be really enjoying his fight as Micah relentless came at him only to be pushed right back. When he dragged his nails against the ground, Leo saw sparks and hesitated. He knew it was a mistake when Micah grabbed him by the wrist and slammed him on the ground once he was distracted. Leo landed on his shell hard enough to knock the wind out of him.

"Eyes on me, Shiho," Saundra snarled, launching at her sister. Shiho caught her by the hands and they struggled and strained with each other's strength. They stalked in a circle, neither hybrid was willing to let go. "You always treated me like the ghost."

"What? You were always fighting with me, Saundra! You never listened to me, ah!" The gecko twisted Shiho's wrists hard enough to make them crack. Rubbing her arm with a growl, Shiho charged and rammed her shoulder into her sister's middle and knocked her down. Like Saundra, Shiho wrapped her clawed fingers around her throat and pinned her hands right above her head as she sat and straddled the gecko's chest.

"Why should I?!"

"Because, Saundra! We're all each other had, and you fought with me every step of the way. What did I do to make you so angry!?" Raphael and Mikey stood guard over the weaker hybrids. Instantly, Raph knew where he'd heard this argument before and looked at his brother who was still clashing with that angry male. When Saundra wouldn't hold still, Shiho tightened her grip and made her wince and scream. "Answer me, Sandy!"

"Everyone loved you! Fiona, Aanika, Micah…even Marcus favored you! And I was always an after thought," The reptile choked under Shiho's grip. Shiho's sneer eased. "You're the oldest, the prettiest…look at me. I'm a monster,"

"I could use a little help over here! He's getting faster!" Leo called. Raph was the one to jump in and grab the male and put him in a tight choke hold. Leo pressed his hands against his thighs as he leaned over to catch his breath, his katana still clutched in his fists. That was Micah's trump card, the long he fought the faster he got. Noticing Shiho's attention was distracted, the gecko pried one of her hands free and punched Shiho right in the jaw and knocked her back.

"Even now! I can't get your undivided attention!" Leo dashed to his mate to bring her up to her feet. The glow in her eyes had him worried, she was close to the edge and held her tightly in his arms as she started to struggle. He glanced at Donnie, wondering if they might have to administer a sedative again.

"Hey look what I caught?" Raph joked. In his hold, Micah wiggled and writhed. But against Raphael's muscles, he was only tiring himself out. The dirty blonde gecko panted slowly and kept her glare on her sister who was fighting with herself. In her ear, Leo was whispering things she couldn't hear to keep his mate steady as she bit into her lip until it bled.

"You know, kid, maybe if you weren't so angry with yourself you'd let up on Shiho," Raph said. Saundra snapped her head to the side and bore angry brown eyes into him.

"And what makes you so smart?"

"Because I was the same way with Leo over there. We fought each other like you're doing here and almost destroyed each other. You tellin' me you want to hurt Shiho?" The fists that the reptile had her hands clenched into slowly released as Shiho was relaxing in Leo's tight grip. "Well?"

"No I don't wanna hurt her! I just want her to see me like the others. It's not my fault I look like this...this….lizard," The hold Leo had on his vixen's jaw let up as her muscles lost their rigid tightness and the Madness was fought off. His arms didn't let go, not yet. "And Shiho has a mate and friends. I'm stuck with Micah and those two."

"Hey! I'm right here you lizard!" Micah spat. Raph knocked his fist against his skull and Micah blacked out.

"Go to sleep, little guy. Jeez, he talks a lot doesn't he?" He said, as he let the fox down to the floor and dragged him to the steps.

"It's like you forgot about us, about me. Once you found these…these…"

"Turtles," Shiho said.

"Yeah, it's like we didn't exist anymore. Didn't you try finding us?" Leo's arms finally gave way and Shiho shook her head of the blurry vision. She tried to understand Saundra's inner turmoil but couldn't sympathize. After being taken away from the burning lab, all Shiho remembered was Leo. The boys. Splinter. April and Casey. All of these wonderful things happened to her after she thought she lost her sisters, it was only natural to forget.

"I didn't try because I thought you were dead. I was also unconscious when the building came down, I couldn't go back in and try to find you. Don't hate me, Saundra. You don't understand what it was like to be me, what you went through was summer camp compared to the things I suffered through. Don't blame me for wanting to forget, but I never forgot about you. You and Fiona and Aanika were all I had. Once I thought you were gone, there was nothing left for me. But Leo," She stopped to take her mate's hand and nuzzle his knuckles with her cheek.

"Leo made all that pain go away. All of them did. They made the nightmares stop and the monsters go away. I couldn't abandon them to look for someone I thought was dead, not after what they did for me. Not after Leo said he loves me, you don't turn your back on something like that to look for a ghost," Saundra opened her mouth to speak but snapped in shut when she couldn't find the words. She'd been angry with Shiho for so long that she didn't consider that her sister might have actually believed her dead. Sandy would have done the same thing when she thought about it, looking for what she believed a dead fox would have destroyed her. Shiho didn't look because she didn't want to stumble on dead bodies.

Shiho snorted a breath through her nose when Saundra looked away, she hoped the gecko was able to understand. There was no other way to explain herself. The ache in Shiho's twisted wrists started and crawled its way up her arms, making her grimace. Her brows knit together when she noticed Leo had a bloodied up lip from another lucky kick Micah had squeezed in. "Babe you're bleeding,"

"Dammit, woman, I'm okay," Leo said as she held his jaw to look at the cut. He grumbled, he hated the way she babied him.

"Look, Sandy. This," Shiho gestured to the turtles and Splinter with her hands. "This is my life now. You can either accept it and be a part of it, or you can leave. Because I'm not going to sit here and cater to your needs. You're grown up now and I can't hold you hand like I did when you were little,"

As if on cue, Aanika broke free of Fiona's grip and dashed down the stairs to Shiho and flung her arms around her neck after jumping into her arms. The fox chuckled and kissed her plump cheek. Saundra couldn't help but shudder when she felt Raphael's eyes on her, those dark yellow eyes behind the red mask. He seemed to be looking at her the way Leo was at Shiho and she immediately felt exposed.

"What are you staring at?" She said, Raph chuckled.

"Forgive me Shiho but your sister is hot," He said. Shiho just gave him a look as if to say You're fucking nuts. Across her thick snout, Sandra blushed and shook her head, layered blonde locks falling over her eyes. "I'll pay attention to ya if that's what you're after,"

"Raph, knock it off and help Don and Mike get Micah to the surface. I don't care where you leave him, but he can't stay here. I'll figure out what to do with these two eventually," The three brothers groaned and picked up the unconscious male by the limbs and made their way out of the lair. But not without verbally complaining loud enough for their fox to hear. "…babies,"

"Miss Shiho, I have come to accept you and your faults. I am sure my sons can do the same for your sisters. Until they are ready to leave, they may stay here," Leo and Shiho gawked at Splinter in disbelief. They were sure he was going to protest the other hybrids until he was blue in the face. The old rat chuckled dryly after getting a good look at their faces. "But there is to be no fighting amongst each other. This is a home of harmony and respect. I have no qualms with disciplining anyone who breaks that rule."

His raven eyes glinted down at the gecko hybrid and she sheepishly looked away. Saundra felt foolish and embarrassed that she'd thought she could take on Shiho with a team of ninjas who could back her up. But she still couldn't extinguish that fire that burned inside her, that jealous flame that had been burning for the last 20 years. It was going to take more practice and patience than she possessed. But at the risk of being alone or being stuck with Micah, Saundra swallowed her pride and nodded.

"Good. Now, about the young one?" His snout pointed at the quivering toddler that was tucked under Shiho's chin. Shiho knew what he was asking and was more than happy to agree. Any training that Splinter could pass to the toddler would only benefit her in the long run. There was no doubt in Shiho's mind that Micah was going to sniff out Magdalena and Marcus and come back with a vengeance, making sure the youngest had the capacity to defend herself would relieve one more worry in the back of her mind.

"Yeah. When she opens up you can start," Slender fingers coursed through the messy mop of brunette hair and silenced the quiet whimpers. Leo noticed that strong maternal vibe that was coming off his mate and sensed a solution to his problem. "Fifi, thanks for watching her."

"You know me, Shiho. She still won't talk though. Saundra and Micah's constant fighting made her a ball of anxiety," Violet eyes darted to that gecko hybrid as she moved across the room to settle on the couch.

"Why doesn't that surprise me? Anyway. This is Leonardo…my mate," Shiho paused to wink at her handsome ninja. The little flirt brought a grin to his face. "And his master and father, Splinter. Leo found me the night the lab came down and brought me here. You can figure the rest out," Her sisters joined her in front of the television as Leo and Splinter stood still on the stairs. Behind the blue mask, Leo kept his eyes fixated on his mate.

"You are thinking of raising the little one with Shiho," Leo sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. Splinter could read him like an open book. The ninja sat on the stone steps beside his father and clasped his hands together.

"Maybe. I can't give her any offspring, just seems like the only answer," His focus was broken by Splinter's paw on the top of his head. A gesture he often did when he showed that he understood what his sons were trying to say.

"I will say this, Leonardo. Parenthood does not come without its hardships. You are always worried that your child will get hurt or into some trouble. And when they grow up, you fret over wondering if you did well enough in raising them," Leo smiled.

"You did a great job, Sensei. I think what I'm most worried about is that Micah guy," The paw on the dome of his head pat the skin and returned to Splinter. The sisters gabbed about anything and everything, Leo couldn't really hear. But he could see the smile on Shiho's face now that she had her family in her sight, even that angry gecko. Their fight seemed to be dust under the rug between them.

"Everything will fall into place. Our focus now, is keeping these new members aware that we hide in shadow. We cannot afford to breach the surface and have our location given away to Shiho's creator," Leo curled his lips and nodded. Shiho leaned over the couch and waved for him to come join with a grin on her pretty face. He could get used to seeing that type of smile, he hadn't seen it before. Splinter politely dismissed his son and went back to his study to meditate.

All of this excitement before 9am. He was getting too old for this.

A/N: Well? I hope I didn't make this too cheesy e-e. Really. My Saundra is a hot head like Raph, but she's worse...she's female. Hahah and the only one who's different. Leo is touching in on the strong maternal instincts Shiho has and decides to try his hand at being a parent. Yes, Micah is a big pansy compared to the turtles. He's supposed to be. :)
