Chapter 5: Backstabber "You traitor!" "How could Leo do this to us…?" said Hisano to herself. "All this mayhem over a broken promise.." Mikey hugs her from behind, hoping to comfort his little sister. Hisano hugs him back, smiles a tiny bit, looking up at him. "Why were you do this to us?!" "I can't believe she did this to him." said Mikey, looking down at the floor, then looks up again at the skylight. "You're not better than Karai!" "Please Leo.." Said Hisano. "Come back to us…" Leo was holds her down as Karai slowly raises her sword, and quickly lowering it down where Leiana's neck is. Leiana's eye widened, and then shuts her eyes tight, screaming. She kicks Karai's sword out her hands, and then kicks her hard in the stomach. Karai stumbles back, and then Leiana trips Leo, running out the place, panting. "What's going on?!" "This isn't right!" "I never should have left New York City!" Karai gets up, rubbing her stomach, glaring at the door, she snaps her fingers. She sent Leo and some foot soldiers to go after her. "Sasaki is going to pay with her life..." "She will..." With Leiana on the run from foot soldiers, Leiana finds a hiding spot in an alley. She pants heavily, still bleeding a bit from the slash wound Leonardo gave her. She stays hidden for a while, feeling cold. She slowly shuts her eyes, shivering. Unknowing she was being carried by mutated foot soldiers. "Leo?" "Yeah?" "May I meditate with you, if that's alright?" "Umm…sure." Leiana sits next Leo, crossing her legs, smiles a bit watching him meditate. She slowly shuts her eyes. She sighs, focusing on trying to go into a trance. She smiles, unaware Leo's eyes was opened, thinking he had get a chance to steal a kiss from her cheek. He uncrosses his legs, crawls to her slowly. He smirks a bit, puckering up his lips, and plants his lips on her cheek. Leiana's eyes quickly popped opened, and then she looks at Leo, her cheeks rosy. She touches her cheek where Leonardo kissed her. She smiles at him, then looks away from him, meditating again. Trying he can try it again, Leo goes to the other side, and puckers his lips again, about to plant another kiss on Leiana's other cheek. Just as Leo was going to plant another kiss on her cheek, Leiana turns around her lips on his. Leo blushes like mad, pulling back. Leiana opening her eyes and giggling at his reaction to the "accident kiss". "That was a dirty trick, Leiana!" "It worked didn't it?" They both laugh, and then look at each other again. They slowly come close to each other; Leo places a hand on her cheek, his lips touching hers slowly. Leiana blushes, slowly shutting her eyes, letting his lips touch hers. Soon, they pull back, and then blush at each other, looking away, smiling a bit. Leiana opens her eyes, finding herself in the old arcade room. She looks around, notices that she in half of a hakama and bandages around her torso area. She looks around the place. "She's awake!" said a voice. "Gah!" shouted Leiana, startled at the foot soldiers. "Don't panic!" said a foot soldier. "You know us!" "I-I do?" asked Leiana. "Yes!" said the foot soldier as she takes off her mask, revealing a familiar face. Leiana's eyes widened, she steps back a bit, running away. The redhead stops her from leaving. "Let go!" said Leiana. "Quit being so stubborn!" said the redhead again. "K-Katrina?!" said Leiana. "What's going on?!" "We need to get you out of here." Said Katrina. "Naziah!" "Yes, Kat?" said her little sister. "Make sure, Lei gets back to the warehouse, safe and sound." Said Katrina. "You can count on me!" said Naziah, as she grabs Leiana's hand and takes her out the back door. Leiana yelps, Katrina puts her mask back on, trying not to expose herself. Naziah running as fast as she can, with Leiana are soon stopped by Leo. Naziah stops, scared of Leo. "You two are coming with me, weather you want to or not." He said glaring at them both. "No." said Leiana, as she comes off of Naz's back. "Lei, no!" cried Leiana. "We want me so bad?" said Leiana. "Come get me." Leiana jump up a fire escape, panting not looking back. Leo follows after her; Naz tries to go after them but soon caught by a foot soldier and taken away. Leiana doesn't look where she going and bumps into a pipe, thinking it's smoke to make herself disappear. She slashes the pipes, but then gets blasted with mutagen, she screams as she was being washed away by the mutagen. Leo stepped back trying not to get hit with the ooze, he flees the scene. Leiana kept popping her head out and put back in. As soon as some of the mutagen was gone, Leiana was unconscious, on her back, and in her new form from human to mutant. END OF CHAPTER 5
