Chapter three

Tickle fight and something there

Raphael and April have become closer and closer, as time slowly passed by. They've become inseparable sometimes and this had, envied the youngest turtle. Michelangelo scratched his head, watching them together.

Raphael would say the lamest jokes and April would not only, assured him that his jokes were bad but would still have a giggle, only to be polite and would not discourage the orange clad terrapin's feelings. "Donnie." Mikey called. The purple clad terrapin exhaled, placing his screw driver down and answered. "What is it, mikey?"

"Come here." He asked, firmly. Donatello did as he was requested and walked to his brothers side and folded his arms, then said. "What?"

"Do you think there is something between April and raph?" mikey asked, as he tried to hide his jealousy. Donatello looked to the pair and answered, as he glanced over to his brother again. "I don't think so, why do you ask?"

"They always, seem to be having a good time." Mikey whined. "I see what is happening here." Donatello commented. "You do?" mikey replied, looking to him. "You are jealous that they are getting on well and you are left out." Petting his shoulder gently and continued before walking away. "Don't worry lil bro, if it bothers you that much. Why don't you just ask to join them?"

Mikey protested quickly. "I aint jealous. She is my girlfriend." Donatello replied with a sigh. "Then, maybe you should talk to—Wait a minute, how is April your girlfriend?" Mikey sighed softly and walked away, Donatello watched confused then shrugged his shoulders and returned back to his room and tinkered away once again. A shriek of laughter filled the room, as Raphael had lost to April on the video game, they were playing and he had planned to get his revenge. "Ha-ha! I win! Foot rub thankyou." April smirked, shoving her foot in his face and Raphael grinned deviously. "Why are you smiling like that?" she asked.

Raphael didn't reply, he just gently grasped her ankle and begun to rub her foot softly. "Oh yes, that feels so good. My feet had been feeling so sore lately." Raph chuckled as he was deviously playing with her foot and lightly ran his finger along the middle of her foot. "That tickles."

He chuckled lightly and answered. "I know." April laughed little at first then burst out laughing as she tried to escape his grip, as he continued to tickle her foot. "Stop, no more that tickles!"

"Really? I didn't know it actually tickled." Raphael smirked, chuckled more and teased her. April laughed, trying to pull away her foot as she couldn't while he continued to tickle her. "No more! No fair! Ok, ok I give!"

Raphael smiled deviously and chuckled, gently rubbed her foot just as she requested. Leaning back, and exhaled happily as she enjoyed the massage, closed her eyes and moaned. "Feels so good." He looked up and watched her, enjoy his fingers rub along and immediately begun to imagine him and April together. A warm tingling feeling had ran through him, a tingling sensation aroused him. "I-I'm sorry." He stammered and rushed out of the room, leaving a confused blinking brunette on the couch.

One hour later, Raphael returned and April still waited. "Are you ok, raphael?" April asked, gently. He nodded. "Yeah, I'm ok."

"It is getting late, I have to get back." April begun and continued. "I have to be up early for work in the morning." Raphael nodded, and offered. "Would you like me to take you home?"

April couldn't help smiling and nodded, reaching for his hand and gently grasped. "I'd like that." Raphael felt a shivering tingle as she held his hand, continued smiling and walked with April as they left the lair, together. Mikey saw them leave and his heart broke, tears streamed down his cheeks as he ran to his room. Locking the door behind him. Master splinter felt his youngest son's aching heart and exhaled softly, walking to the door and softly knocked. "Michelangelo."

No response, softly pushed the door opened and finally walked in. Then sat on the end of his bed, exhaling softly. "Mikey."

Once again he didn't respond, just softly breathe. "Mikey, wish tell me what is bothering you?" splinter softly asked and waited for a answer. Few seconds later, mikey turned over and faced his father and answered, with tears streaming down his cheeks. The old rat sighed, hugged him gently. "Sorry my son."

Meanwhile on topside, Raphael and April were enjoying their time together until they submerged from the sewers and into the alleyway. What they weren't not expecting to face was a group of foot soldiers with Karai, waiting in the shadows.

"Well, this is my lucky day." Karai commented, evilly. Raphael protectively guarded April as he took out his sais. "You will not touch her." He told her and the followers. Karai chuckled, commanded her followers as she smirked. "Capture her and dispose him."

April remained behind Raphael but kept a few steps away, in case she will get hurt accidently in the process which she was very lucky. Fending her from a group of foot soldiers, which were only about six or seven which was pretty easy for raphael.

And took a short twenty minutes to defeat all until karai stepped in and took her chances with the large terrapin brute. Heavily panted and glared darkly at the Japanese kunoichi as she too, glared back and tightening her grasp unto her katana. Raphael tightened his onto the sais he willed.

Karai lunged towards him and tried to attack from above as she leaped high in the atmosphere, just above his head and was disadvantaged with a powerful punched to her torso by the hilt of his sai. Flying to the wall nearby and grunted, before landing onto her front and spat the blood as it drippled from the corner of her lips and her vision was blurred, seeing the enemy picked, the assigned target and vanished.

Heavily panted, groaned as she tried push herself up then dropped again and lost consciousness. The sound of sirens eluded in the distance but someone had came to retrieve Karai and disappeared with her before they authorities could arrive, while leaving behind the soldiers but not alive.

Raphael hurried to April's the closest alleyway, nearby her apartment and looked out for a second, to ensure they were not followed. Luckily they weren't and April had held onto raphael's throat so tightly that she never wished to be placed down. Looking down to her from the corner of his eye, panted heavily as his heart had raced, and thumped hard. Nuzzling back as April nuzzled his neck and his heart had slowed with his breathing had soften, closing his eyes and tighten his embrace around her then leaped up to the rooftop as fast he was able and disappeared in the shadows. Until they reached her apartment and entered inside. He remained with her until the following day, as he feared Karai may try again.

to be continued in chapter four

Ok, sorry for the late update on this fiction as it is going to be awhile when the following chapter comes as I am also working on my raphael's goddess for RBBBH with wolfjade as my main two OC's in the romantic series that mikey's dream gal (girl) is the second fiction in progress and held on postponed until the first is completed. There are two more, as I haven't got a lead role for leonardo's angel and donnie's soulmate. Where I am going with these fictions is writing a fiction for anyone whom wish to star in with their favorite tmnt character. It wasn't planned at first but the inspirational idea struck me when RBBBH said that she like to have a fiction written for her when reviewing this fiction. Raphril: A blossoming romance. And then, the fiction was born. I was worried it may flopped but it has turned out beautifully for RBBBH and introducing wolfjade in the first fiction as her story is told in the second with mikey. I have also drawn them as TMNT official OC's on ./tealana1. Which you can view on my page.

TMNT Official OC rachael Winchester and TMNT Official OC wolfjade. On ./tealana1. The color version is coming soon for wolfjade. And I hope both will like them. anyway onwards to the next chapter of this fiction. Tootles for now.
