Unexpected guest.

Miyamoto Usagi bowed in front of the Daimyo with respect. He had been asked to meet the Daimyo personally for some reasons that even he himself didn't know.

-You asked to see me lord?-Usagi said without raising his head.

-Yes Usagi-san I asked to see you, because I wanted to ask a favor to you!-Now Usagi's head raised. What could the Daimyo possibly ask him that e couldn't do himself.

-And what is it,my lord?-Usagi asked really curiously.

-Usagi-san you know that the other Battle Nexus will begin in two months or so. What I want you to do is to just inform some friends of mine for this event. Actually some friends of yours too. I think that Hamato Splinter and his sons will be more than happy to compete again this year,-A smile formed on Usagi's lips. There had been a long time not seeing Leonardo, finally he would have a chance.

-I would be more than happy to inform them personally!-Usagi answered and got ready to leave but Daimyo stopped him.

-Ah Usagi I want to ask you one more thing!-Usagi stopped on the doorway when suddenly the Daymio's son appeared,-My son would wish to come with you! He wanted to meet Leonardo after such a long time. Would you mind taking him too?

The small red head boy approached Usagi with some big puppy eyes on him.

-Usagi-san can I come with you please,please!-The little boy asked Usagi who smiled warmly. He patted his head and nodded.

-Of course you can come with me!-he told the little boy who started jumping cheerfully.

-You mean he can come with us!-A loudly voice came from behind Usagi who slapped his head and passed his look to the Daimyo like he was asking for help.

-Sorry Usagi!-the Daimyo said feeling sorry for the poor rabbit,-But I think that Genusuke will be responsible this time. Won't you Genusuke!

-Of course!-the large rhino said coming beside Usagi. Usagi threw a dangerous look to Genusuke and then put a hand on his forehead.

-Fine!-he finally said,-But if Mikey kill you this time for stealing his comic books, then don't expect help from me!

-Nah! You know Michelangelo he can't hurt a fly!-Genususke said as a portal opened and the three of them stepped into it.

(in the lair)

Everybody was sitting in the living room seeing TV and eating pop-corns. Well everyone except Kate and Leo, who was helping her with the leg's exercise. Suddenly Kelly sank on the couch blustering bored.

-I am bored!-she told Mikey. It had passed two full weeks since the last fight with Karai and the girls had been stucked in a usual routine: Work and Lair! For Mia and Kate also school. Fortunately her disability hadn't stop Kate in going to her rehearsal for the upcoming competition.

-And what do you suggest duttede?-Mikey asked ready to do everything she suggested.

-Well…I…I don't know!-She told him and Mikey sank on the couch too.

-Dude this is terrible. I think my brain is going to froze or something!-Mieky said all sudden.

-Wow Mikey has a brain?I didn't knew that, did you Raph!-Icy commented and Raph burst into laughs.

-Nope!

-Well I think we just found out! Congratulation Michelangelo!-Icy said and burst into laughs herself.

-Hey!-Kelly said looking at Icy a little upset with her.

-Calm down duttede,-Mikey told Kelly putting a hand on her shoulders,-this is what I always expect from my dear future sister-in-law! I've got to deal with it thinking that I will bear her for the rest of my life!

Suddenly both Icy and Raph stopped laughing . Seeing their expression on the faces was Mikey's and Kelly's turn to laugh!

-Yeah you're right Mikey! Think a little how their child is gonna be!-Kelly said and Mikey gasped.

-Child?Child?-Mikey said acting a little horrified,-Kelly do you really think Raphie boy is gonna have just one child? Just look at them, I think they have already begun one!-this time Mikey with Kelly weren't the only ones laughing. Don and Mia joined the too.

-That's it!-Raph said jumping on Mikey.

-AAAAAAHHHHHH!-Mikey screamed like a little girl and ran through the room. Raph chased ofter him like a mad bull. Suddenly Kelly joined them too.

-Raph get your hand off my boyfriend!-Kelly said and threw herself on Raph.

-OW!-Raph shouted falling in the ground with Kelly on top of her.

-Run, Mikey run!-Kelly shoutedted holding Raph on the ground.

-Thanks Kelly! You are my hero!-Mikey shouted pretending that he saved but then Icy jumped on the fight too.

-If you mess up with my boyfriend, you mess up with me!-she told him and balked his feet causing Mikey to fall on the ground. Suddenly Raph picked Kelly up on his shoulder and threw her to Mikey. Kelly and Mikey both collapsed near each-other knowing that they wouldn't like what was to passed. Kelly passed her eyes at the couch hopefully.

-Mia you wouldn't want your dear sister to die this young!-Kelly said and Mia took a thinking position placing her finger t the edge of her lips.

-Hmmmm…-she said and then turned her eyes to Don,-I think I can survive the thought. What do you think Donny? Will you miss your baby brother.

-Nah, I think I could carry on!-he told Mia playfully and she turned to Kelly.

-Sorry sis!-she said and then placed her head at Don's shoulder. Icy and Raph both smiled seeing Kelly and Mikey scared on the ground. Icy started rubbing her hands with each-other.

-Oh I am so gonna enjoy every second of this!-she said and Raph nodded.

-You can take Kelly,-he told her,-I am not gonna hit a woman.

-Oh but I love hitting a woman especially when she is a bonehead.

-Mikey help!-Kelly cried. Exactly at the moment when Icy was gonna start tickle Kelly a light was seen somewhere near the bridge, then a blue portal appeared and some strange creatures got out of it. Everybody was quite for a moment trying to understand if what the saw was real or just some illusion. When suddenly the creature spoke.

-Hello,my friends!–Suddenly Kelly jumped on her feet and look at Usagi with wide opened eyes but a happy expression. Finally she explode.

-AN OVERSIZE, TALKING, WHITE, FURY, BUNNY? WHEN DID CHRISTMAS CAME?-she ran to Usagi caught him on a bone crushing hug. The poor Rabbit wasn't understanding anything as this crazy, strange girl pulled his cheeks and his bunny ears. Then she turned to the others with some big puppy eyes.

-Can we keep him guys? Please,please tell me we can keep him! I will take care of him very, very well but please can we keep him?-she told them . In one moment everybody was silent and just a second later all three turtles burst into some uncontrollable laughs. On the other hand the girls still had their mouths to the ground seeing this scene.

While Kelly was still wondering why everyone was laughing she felt a tap on his shoulder. Still enthusiastic she turned her head to see who it was, maybe expecting a lecture from Kate and Leo but in fact neither her sister or her future "brother-in-law" was there. Instead behind her was staying a giant walking rhinoceros with some kind of sword in his hand. The smile on Kelly's face faded immediately and her expression went pale. Fianlly as to close everything Genusuke smiled and shook his hand to say hello but this was enough to terrify Kelly. She started screaming like a little girl and threw herself to Mikey's arm who fortunately caught her in the right time. Not daring to see the big, scary rhino on the face Kelly cried from Mikey's arms.

- I am sorry you big scary rhino! Please don't eat me.-Kelly said scared,-I didn't want to steal your bunny pet but I couldn't help it he is so sweet!-Kelly said and everyone including Genusuke and the girls burst into laughs. Unfortunately our dear lovely bunny didn't appreciate that comment.

-What?-Usagi asked with wide opening eyes not being able to understand a single thing. Gnusuke patted his head.

-Don't worry my little pet you know that girl didn't meant it!-Genusuke said still laughing. Now Usagi totally lost his patient.

-Michelangelo-san what is happening here?-Usagi asked but Mikey was unable to speak from laughs. Instead of him was Don the one who gave the answer.

-We are really sorry Usagi!-Don said getting on his feet and approaching Usagi, of course with Mia following him,-Our friend has a weakness for fury animals,especially bunnies.

In that moment everyone managed to stop laughing but there were still giggles heard on the room. Don turned to the girls to explain everything.

-Kelly,Icy,Mia this is are our friends Miyamoto Usagi, and Genusuke! Kelly there is no need to get scary from Genusuke, he will not hurt you!

-Yeah despite the fact that he is a comic book thief!-Mikey added but a stern look from Don made him to shut up. Finally Don turned to Usagi.

-Usagi-san these are our friends. They are currently staying at our lair. The black haired girl there with Raph is Icyelle Shovel.

-Hi!-Icy simply said leaning against Raph. This action confused Usagi a lot. How came that this girls weren't afraid of their friends. Anyway Usagi showed away those thoughts and bowed formally to Icy who had a question look on her face.

-The blonde that…um…got exited early is Kelly Meson!-Don continued. Kelly still at Mikey's arm didn't lose time and went to hug Usagi.

-Sorry for pulling your cheeks and ears early but you're really cute!-she said and Mia slapped her forehead.

-Um…I am glad to meet you Kelly-san!-Usagi told her and then bowed. Kelly clapped her hands in happiness.

-Finally this,-Donny said surrounding Mia's waist with his arm,-is Mia Danby.

-I am glad to meet you Usagi!-Mia said bowing at him. Usagi smiled gently and bowed too.

"Yes there is definitely something more in here!"Usagi said keeping his eyes to Don's . Suddenly a small red head child came from behind Genusuke. In that moment girls all gasped seeing such a lovely small boy ,who went to hide behind Usagi. Suddenly Mia smiled approaching him.

-And who is this lovely small boy?-she asked Don who only smiled.

-This is the Daimyo's son. Although I wonder what is he doing here?-Don asked curiously.

-We came here with the Daimyo's request. He wanted us to inform you about the next Battle Nexus and the boy came because he wanted to meet Leonardo and you guys. Although we didn't expect there to be others too.

-But anyway you are always welcomed Usagi-san!-Master Splinter's voice came from behind.

-Hamato Splinter-san!-this time was Usagi who bowed first.

-It's an honor to have you here Usagi-san!-Splinter told him. Usagi started looking at different part of the house, like he was checking for something.

-Splinter-san may I know where Leonardo is?-Usagi asked. All sudden the guys got serious.

-Umm…-Don started saying hesitantly,-he must be at the dojo!

-May I go to see him?-the little boy asked all sudden. Mia smiled at him warmly.

-Sure you can!-she told him,-But can you allow me to hold you a little?-the boy smiled and raised his arms. Mia more than happy took him. In those moments Don couldn't help but think, what a wonderful mother she would be.

Everyone headed to the dojo but only some meters before they enter the door some voices were heard. Usagi stopped surprised.

"Another girl?"he thought.

"No Leo I…I can't do this!" the girl's voice said.

"C'mon Kate,there are just five steps!"Leonardo's vice said. Curiously Usagi approached the door. And the picture that he saw shocked him. He had heard right Leo was there, but he…he looked different. His face was tired and he looked sad despite the faked smiled that he had in his face. His arms were opened like he was ready to catch someone. Then his eyes passed to the girl five feet away from him. She was sitting in a chair that surprisingly had wheels. She looked sad and weak, like she was afraid to stand up from the chair.

"What's the matter with her? Could she be sick." Usagi wondered. Suddenly Leonardo's voice made his thoughts vanish.

-C'mon Kate, please! I will be right here to catch you if you fall!-Leo said still with that faked smiled. Usagi saw the girl taking a deep breath and then standing the chair. Her legs started shaking and she hold onto the chair for some balance. Then very slowly she tried to walk. She threw the first step slowly and didn't fell.

-Very well Kate. C'mon just four more steps!-Leo told her. The girl placed a hand on the wall for support and then threw another step but exactly when her foot touched the ground her knees bended and she started to fall.

-Ah!-she cried as she understood she couldn't break the fall herself.

-Kate!-Leo cried. Fortunately he arrived in time to break her fall,-Kate are you alright?

The girl only nodded and hugged him tightly. Leonardo hugged her back silently. In that moment Usagi understood everything. He passed a fast look to each of the turtles. They all were beside one of the girl. Mikey was hugging the one named Kelly, who seemed to be more sad than the others. Then Usagi's eyes went to Leo again.

"Now I understand everything my friend!" Usagi thought sadly as he saw Leo carrying Kate bridal style to the chair.

-Stay here I am going to call Donny, to check on your legs!-he said but Don was already there.

-Over here Leo!-Don said and as Leo turned his head he shocked seeing Usagi staying at the doorway.

-Usagi?-he said and the white rabbit nodded with a smile.

-Long time, not seeing you my friend!-Usagi said. A true smile formed on Leo's lips. As Don went to take care of Kate ,Leo went and bowed if front of Usagi formally.

-I am glad you came to visit us Usagi!-Leo said truthfully. Usagi was sad to see his friend like that. In a moment his eyes passed at the beautiful girl who was "walking" on their direction. She smiled warmly to Usagi and he returned the smile feeling guilty for her and Leonardo. Leo went behind Kate's chair to be able to push it. He smiled warmly to her, his eyes were filled with guilty.

-Usagi-san this is my friend Kate!-Leo told her. Usagi smiled at the word "my friend". Suddenly the girl's eyes turned to Usagi. For his surprise Kate bowed her head in the same way as Leo did.

-You must e Miyamoto Usagi!-Kate said smiling to the rabbit,- I am really honored to finally meet you. Leo has told me so much about you. I am sorry I am not able to stand up but…

-No, no it's okay!-Usagi said looking at Kate.

-Leonardo!-a childish voice said. By this time Kate and Leo recognized the small child that climbed off from Mia's arm and ran to Leo.

-The Daimyo's son?-Leo asked Usagi as the child ran at Leo's arm, who happily got hold of him.

-Yeah the little red head wanted to come to see you Leonardo!-another voice came from behind them,- But to me it looks like you are a little busy. In fact all of you.

Everyone except Kelly and Mikey all the others blushed badly.

-How are you Genusuke?-Leo asked.

-Eh…fine!-the big, scary rhino answered. Suddenly the small child on Leo's arm climbed off from him and went to approach Kate.

-Hey little one! How are you?-Kate asked and the boy raised his shoulder.

-May I know your name?-the little boy said and Kate laughed.

-Of course you can!-she told him,-My name is Kate!

-Well…Um miss Kate why… why was Leo hugging you earlier?-the little boy asked. Suddenly Kate blushed till the edge of her head. On the other hand Icy, Raph and Mikey burst into laughs.

-Yeah miss Kate, why was Leo hugging you earlier?-Icy asked teasely but Kate surprised everyone when she smiled.

-Leonardo is my friend little one. Don't you use to hug your friends back home?-Kate asked and the boy shook his head sadly. Icy blustered sadly that Kate hadn't fall on her trap.

-I…I don't have any friend, back home!-the little boy said and Kate with the other girl wide opened their eyes.

-Well in that case with whom do you play?-this time was Kelly who spoke. The little boy raised his shoulders again.

-Well in the most of the time with my personal servants and so!-the boy said. Kate put a hand on boy's cheek .

-If things are like that would you like me and my sisters to become your friends?-Kate asked the little boy, whom face lighted up in happiness. He nodded not being able to speak,-Great!

-Um miss Kate I have a question,-the little boy said,Kate only waited,-May…may I take a round with that wheel chair? It must be great if you go fast!-the little guy looked at Kate with some big puppy eyes. She looked hesitating at firstly but then… a small round wouldn't hurt anyone!

-Of course you can!-Kate said looking at the small boy,-But you'll have to stay at my lap and Leonardo can push us, how about this?

The small boy jumped cheerfully and Kate laughed seeing him so happy,although Leonardo looked really worried about the idea.

-You'll have to wait!-Usagi told the Daimyo's son,-We came here with a duty and we must complete it!

The small boy nodded and finally Usagi turned to the turtles and their Master.

-If there is no problem I would like to talk to all of you. There is something I need to inform you,-Usagi said directing to all of them. Firstly everybody was confused what could Usagi possibly want to tell them? Leonardo nodded seriously and directed to the living room.

-This way!-he told Usagi. When everybody sat down ready to listen,including here the girls Usagi got up to speak.

-So all of you know that now has been three years since the last Battle Nexus,-the guys only nodded and the girls,except Kate who knew the story, wide opened their eyes,-Well the Daimyo wanted me to inform you personally that the next Battle Nexus will take place in two months or so and we were all hoping that you will content again, especially you Splinter-san.

A smile formed on everybody's face before they all explode in "hurrays",before Icy stood up on her feet and directed to everyone.

-Wow,wow,wow wait a sec!-then she directed to Usagi,-What in the world is Battle Nexus?

-Battle Nexus is a contest between the world's best fighters. The last time it took placed before three years and it's champion was Michelangelo-san!-all girls jaws dropped on the ground but Kelly didn't lose a second and went to huge Mikey and kissed him quickly on the lips but it was enough to make Mikey blush badly and Usagi smirk.

-Awwww my boyfriend is the strongest fighter on the world. I am so proud of you Mikey!-she said. When suddenly Icy came with another question.

-Hey ,can we content too?-she asked hopefully. Suddenly the guys froze.

-Yes,-Kelly said standing up,-can we?Oh please,please say yes ,lovely bunny!

-Um…well I…I-Usagi didn't knew what to say but a nod from Master Splinter made him answer,-well I think it won't be a problem!

-YES!-Kelly cried and went to hug Usagi. Mia and Icy only smiled and thanked Usagi. Everybody was cheering, laughing at the news,girls couldn't wait to content for the first time in Nexus.

Suddenly Usagi saw Leo leaving the room and heading to the dojo! Seeing everyone else laughing and Kate talking with the Daimyo's son Usagi escaped the room and followed Leo. As he entered the dojo he found Leo practicing with his swords, hitting only the air! Suddenly as he was ready to make another strike Usagi's sword blocked his!

-What is bothering you Leonardo-san?-Usagi asked and Leo lowered his swords. He firstly didn't say anything but then raised his head sadly.

-Usagi…I…I don't think that I will content this year!-he told him, shocking Usagi!

-Leonardo…wh-why? I mean you're one of the grates warrior I've ever seen, it would be a waste!-Usagi told Leo trying to make him reasonable.

-Usagi I…I just am in no shape to content,-Leo lied silently but Usagi caught the true by his look.

-It's because of that girl ,right?-he asked smiling, and Leo froze,-Kate-san.

For a minute or two Leo was silent, he didn't say anything. Finally deciding that he couldn't hide it anymore Leo nodded.

-I can't let her alone like that. The Battle Nexus can least for one month. I remember that Master Splinter once came back after one whole month. Me and my brothers started thinking that he wouldn't come back anymore.I don't want her to think the same!-there was a pause and then Leo spoke again,-Only if Kate would walk again she would be able to come with us, content and who knows maybe even win. She is the best swordswoman I've ever seen. If this happen then I'll come too but if not then I'll stay here with her.

Usagi was a little sad to hear that. From what he saw before Kate didn't look in shape to walk soon but anyway he didn't say anything knowing that his words would hurt Leo even more. Not able to do something more he nodded.

-I understand you!-Usagi finally said.

-Thank you!

What Usagi and Leo didn't know was that the whole conversation had been heard. She had wanted to ask Leo to come and play with her and the Daimyo's son when the words hit her like knife. Now Kate was seeing what she was doing to him. Preventing him for every decision, every action. Why the hell did he even loved her? Why the hell did he even told her that…

Suddenly something hit her mind like a bullet. She had never told him. She had really never told him. Kate pushed her carriage away from that door quickly afraid that someone would see her. Hurriedly she went on one part of the lair where no one would see her. Tears had already filled her eyes. Kate buried her face between her hands.

"How could I be this evil? How could I be this stupid? I never told him, I never told him that..." Suddenly she felt a tap on her shoulder. Terrified she turned her head thinking that there was Leonardo but in fact was only the Daimyo's son. She quickly tried to hide the fact that she was crying but that child was wise. In fact he had listened everything too, the smart kid was hidden behind the door and because he was small no one had been able to see him.

-Miss Kate why are you crying?-the boy asked. Kate faked a smile and brushed away her tears.

-Sweetheart do you remember what I said for friends?-Kate asked the boy,who nodded.

-You told me that Leonardo was hugging you because you two were friends!-the boy told her and she smiled sadly.

-Yes but I forgot to tell you something,-the boy only stood and listened,-Before you hug your friends little one make sure you let them know they know you're their friends!

The boy blinked firstly but then smiled.

-But you and Leonardo are friends!-he said.

-Y-yes we are!-Kate said turning her head on the other side so he wouldn't see his expression.

"But I never told him that!" She added sadly on her mind.

-Although I can't understand why you said that I promise you I will make sure, okay?-Kate laughed and took the small boy on her lap.

-Thank you!-she told him and surprisingly he hugged her.

-You are my friend Kate!-he told her. Kate blinked but happily hugged him back.

-See I can do them both in the same time!-the boy said from Kate's shoulder,-I can hug you and say you are my friend in the same time!

Suddenly Leonardo approached them and surprised to see Kate hug the little boy but then smiled seeing how cute they looked.

-Leonardo-the boy said and in the same time hugging him too,-you are my friend too!

Leo hugged both of them laughing not knowing from where did this came. He threw a fast look to Kate who simply raised her shoulders. Unfortunately Mikey and Kelly saw them so you know what came next.

-Awwwwwwww…Kelly see what a small happy family!-Mikey told him and Leo threw a fast angry look. Kate faked a laugh seeing Mikey terrified from Leo's look. In fact inside she was crying although she wouldn't let him know

"Leo I am sorry,-she thought,-but just wait a little longer my love. I will tell you what I should have told since the first time you kissed me, I just should wait for the right moment hoping it will be soon!I WILL TELL YOU THAT I LOVE YOU!"

So tell me how do you think that Kate would tell that to Leo? I am very curious what you think!

Now this dialog is a request from my friend Aquarius Kelly, hope you lie it: :)

RAHELA: (Leo slap my head) Ouch what was that for?

Leo: For making my girlfriend suffer like that!

RAHELA: But...(another slap from Raph) Hey but you why...

Raph:You ask why...you ask why after making fun on me and Icy like that?

RAHELA: Ow right but... (again another one this time from Kelly) Kelly even you?

Kelly:How could you scare me like that! I thought Icy was gonna kill me! (fall on the ground crying)

RAHELA:Okey,okey but please don't cry! (Mikey raise his hand to hit her head but fortunately RAHELA catch it this time) A-A not you too!

Mikey:But look what you did to her!

RAHELA: (angry) Okey if it is like that I was about to write the mot romantic part for each of you at the upcomming chapters but if you want it to...

EVERYONE: RAHELA!

RAHELA:Oh no. (starts running away with everyone following her) HELP!

Donny and Mia: Get back here in this moment or...

RAHELA: (turns to her readers) Guys being an author can kill you! (suddenly Kelly appear from nowhere) Oh no I am not gonna like this.

Raph:Oh but we will!
