Sorry for taking so long for updating yes, I openly allow you to attack me about it in the comments. Though here is Chapter 10 I obviously don't own TMNT I'm not that brilliant yet. Enjoy and yes it has a bit of OC in this, hope you enjoy.


Ch.10

"Leo?" I asked as I opened the window staring in to his dark eyes which immediately stared down. "What's wrong, did something happen?" I asked as I helped him crawl through the window. He shut the window as I started to pace in fret.

"Cat…"

"Did Raph run off again?"

"Cat…"

"Oh god Don's chem. Set… did Mikey…!"

"CATHERINE!" jumping slightly Leo laid his hands on my shoulders staring down at me as I felt my face heat up as he gave a small smile. "No everyone is fine, relax, breath or you'll pass out," he tried to sooth me as I closed my eyes and tried to focus on my breathing. The whole time Leo's hands never left my shoulders but slid to the sides of my arms and as my eyes opened I noticed he was closer. Staring up at him I then realized…I wasn't that tall in general. Everyone was taller than me, even Mikey! Glancing up at him again his stare never faltered which made me fidget under his glaze. It was intense and intimidating but unlike the times before when I saw him training with his brothers or with Raph they were so warm. His eyes were almost dark as night but held so much emotion. It was hot and intense which made feel smaller than I already was, staring back something caught my eye; he was also fidgeting.

"So what is it?" I swallowed as I started to look at everything but him, "Not that your not welcomed, of course your welcome it's just…"

"Yeah, your apartment is nice," he commented giving a small embarrassed smile as he stepped around me to look the living space. "I know I should of called or something sorry if I scared you," he commented as he looked down at my hand noticing I was still holding my blade. Blushing I placed the dagger back on the table with the others before I strolled in to the kitchen and brought out two glasses as I took out some sweet ice tea and placing his glass on the bar.

"So what's up Leo?" I asked as I walked past him to the couch beside him and sat on the arm taking a sip. Standing in front of me he towered over me as I patiently waited for his reply.

"I wanted to apologize, I was out of line," he rubbed the back of his neck taking a sudden interest in his green toes making me smile. I didn't know what it was but something about his slight shuffling and unsure features was almost cute.

"Its fine, I'm also hot blooded, I'm sorry," I smiled up at him as he returned it with a small warm smile. Being under his gaze I felt my cheeks flush. I don't know when I started becoming attracted to large mutant turtles, but then again I was really weird in general.

"I don't mind, its nice change up just took me when I first got back," he smirked teasing me making me laugh and stand up placing my tea on the coffee table.

"Well, I do leave an impression and plus I hear its hard to sneak up on you. So I'll take it as a victory," I smiled giving a proud stance. Making Leo smirked as I twirled at the music as feeling his eyes on me as I started to put away my daggers in my closet behind my coats. Coming out Leo was swirling his tea in thought as I came up next to him and leaned against the bar with him.

"Penny for your thoughts?"

"I was thinking since you apparently are full of surprises you could help me come out of my small box as you put it," he looked up at me and smirked.

"I didn't say small but it needed to be widened".

"So will you help me?" letting my head fall back playfully I thought till another Ricky Martin song came on making me smile and look up at him.

"Dancing," I smiled as he looked puzzled.

"Dancing?" I nodded as I playfully twirled in front of him offering my hand. Staring at it then back up at me I laughed.

"If you don't like it then we can find something else," I smiled as he shook his head and chuckled.

"Why not?" taking my hand I raised his arm and twirled and stood in front of him smiling up at him.

"Lucky for us a slow song came on with a bit of rhythm, we'll start with a basic two- step alright?" nodding I placed his hand on my waist as I smiled up at him again, "I'll lead and when you feel confident you can take it. With you right foot you shall step foreword," obeying he stepped forward as I stepped back and following through. "Good and now you shall step sideways to your right and when you do slightly turn alright?"

"Alright," he obeyed his unsure nature and him watching our feet made me give a full hearted laugh as I took my hand off his shoulder and placed it under his chin to look up at me.

"Looking down make you worse and also nothing is sexier than a man with confidence," I chimed as he chuckled.

"Sexy for who?"

"Any lucky girl that crosses your path and in the future that has the pleasure of dancing with you," I smiled as he started to lead when the next song came on. Giving a slow twirl he smiled as down at me.


Dancing never thought I would be doing this with a girl no less. The only time that I saw people dance were in movies, a ninja turtle didn't really have the need to dance in the job description but… dancing with her was different. Her touch was warm and her voice while she was teaching me was gentle. Guessing I wasn't her first student, judging by the times I would almost get on her foot and she never faltered. Watching her patient smile I couldn't help myself, it was just so tempting.

"Good your doing great," she smiled as I smirked back as I took her waist in my arm drawing her closer to me fast as I then dipped her taking her breath away. Her shocked eyes and her breathless expression was adorable as she was soon blushing. She was a tough girl but she also held a timid cute side, it was like sugar and spice.

"Still good?" pretending to cough and looked some where else before gaining the confidence to look back up at me.

"Yes but your still a bit stiff when you dance and…"

"And?" I pulled her closer making her blush increase, what was happening to me I was never like this? It was like my body was moving on its own. I didn't want to let go as my eyes wandered down to her pink lips which almost urged me to continue….no….NO! Bringing her back up I had to gain control again, this wasn't the ninja way. I turned away from her as she did me as I tried to get my Barings.

"And you could use a little bit of practice," she continued a bit breathless as she turned to me with a hint of blush still lingering. Smiling down at her she looked to the side trying to hide her embarrassment. "We could continue to practice or find something else if you like?" how could I find something else? I got to hold her, make her giggle when I would twirl her and be close to her… I shouldn't be doing this, but…

"Sure, it's pretty fun," I smiled as she nodded as we continued with our lesson till we were both tired. Whatever this high was I would get from her it made me different I don't know it was her wild nature, that excited smile or her shyness when a guy was so close to her or was it just me? Shaking my head I could let myself runaway with myself, I was in the moment. That moment was here in her living room, alone and dancing. Holding her close and leading her as that wide smile never faltered. Maybe I did come home at a good time…but, who was she to Raph… I would hate to be falling for my younger brother's girl.
