The Love of a Turtle in Red
Raphael One-shot
I sat in my room and sighed. I, Coco Leblanc am beyond bored. I glanced around my room and tried to figure out what I was going to do today. Knowing that I was not suppose to leave the apartment but I mean come on what is a nineteen year old girl to do. I think it was because I am a physical anomaly.
I had tan skin and apparently it looks like chocolate in motion, hence the bad name, my hair as red as blood and my eyes blue as the ocean. These physical traits are different if not weird I will admit it but that is not what my family is keeping me in my room for.
It's my fangs, I was born a normal baby but according to my father when I started to get my teeth my canines were the only set that did not fall from my mouth. They just grew so like a hair. If I did not file them down once every three months they would be very long.
They wanted to hide my shame from the world and I did not like it. I wanted to be just like everyone else. I wanted to fall in love with a nice young man and then make bad mistakes and fight over them. I wanted a normal teenager's life. But life was never fair now what is.
I flipped through a catalog that one of the maids brought me and sighed heavily. This was going to be hell on my nerves. I had gotten up and opened the window. The world outside was beautiful, the moon's glow was heavenly. I slowly got on the fire escape and walked up the ladder till I got on to the roof.
I stood there looking up at the moon and the stars. The New York sky was not all the great but when you could see the heaven it was well worth it. I would have spent all day and night there but sadly I was interrupted by men in ninja outfits.
"What's with the get up?" I asked as I stared at all of them.
They did not say a word but a few of them started to walk towards me slowly. They looked as if they wished to harm me. I did not know what to do until four figures came from the roof behind the ninjas. They flipped in the air and landed in between me and the ninjas.
"What are you doing here foot?" On figure asked.
I started to laugh. I mean come on Foot, who in their right mind will call their gang foot. I couldn't stop laughing and the four figures noticed me.
"What's her deal?" Figure two asked and pointed at me.
I stood up and walked straight through my four saviors and looked at the Foot.
"Are you individually called toes?" I asked and started to laugh harder and walked away from them and sat on the ledge.
"I like her." Said figure three and they started to fight.
They fought for what seemed like hours. I didn't really do much just sat there and watched them. I would have continued to just watch them if it wasn't for the fact that one of the figures was being snuck up on. I rolled my eyes and started to run to the Foot ninja. I tackled him and started to beat his face in.
Once I knew that he wasn't getting up for a while I stared at the figure that I had saved and noticed that he was a turtle. A giant turtle with a red bandana, this did not bother me too much. I cannot judge one for their physical appearance. I screamed cause there was a very large man behind him.
"What you screamin cause I am a giant turtle?" He said with a deep Brooklyn accent.
"N-n-no I am screaming because of him!" I yelled as I got up and tackled him.
I got to him just in time to prevent a blow from the man's large weapon. We looked up and saw the man smirking at us. I rolled off of the turtle and got up. The turtle did a flip and stood next to me.
"Thanks for that." He said and twirled his sais.
"Thank me when this is over." I told him and stood stock still.
The man just stared at us and was about to charge but stopped when he saw the other three figures, I assume they are turtles as well, stood with us. He looked overly pleased with himself and I did not like that.
"The turtles have made a new friend. How cute." He said, I figured he was trying to play at our emotions. It did not work with me but the red turtle was looking a little mad.
"I don't know what you and these losers want but I would advise you to leave now while you still have a leg to stand on." I told him and watched his footing.
What he did not know was that there was a weak spot in the roof near where he was standing. All he had to do was step to the left and then he would fall and almost rip his leg to shreds.
He stepped to the left but didn't put his whole wait into the step. I glared at him a little and tried to think of a way to make him step on the wood. I grabbed a weapon from a down Foot ninja and threw it at him. He stepped and we all heard the creak. I smirked and counted.
"3…2…1…" I said in a sing song voice then, Crash!
He fell down two stories into an apartment that has been abandoned for as long as I can remember. His leg was surly damaged beyond use for tonight.
"That was fun." I said and looked at him through the hole.
The four turtles looked at me and smiled. They were very interesting figures to say the least.
five months.
In five months I have grown to love the turtles equally but for some reason Raphael was some one that I loved most of all. They sprung me out of my home and let me live in their hide out under the city of New York.
We came to find out that my parents had created me from an egg of one person with a genetic defect and another with a defect on the other spectrim of the first. They wanted to study what would happen to me as I grew and that is why they kept me.
In that time I learned that I was faster than most people. Stronger than the turtles and a better ninja than all of them but with little to no training. I was enjoying the fact that I was a science experiment.
I sat down with Mikey and thought about my new life. I was happy an yet felt incomplete. I sighed and Mikey heard me.
"What's up Coco? You ok?" He asked. He was always such a good brother.
"I'm good Mikey. I think I am just going to go out for a little walk on rooftops. I'll be back before dawn." I told him and dashed out. What I didn't know was that Raphael was in hearing distance and followed me out.
I jump from roof top to roof top and finally stopped when I was able to see the water.
I smiled warmly at the water and just sat there.
"Ya'know if you keep smiling like that I might get a little jealous." A brooklyn accent rang out into the night sky.
I just shook my head slowly and turned to look at him.
"I always did say green was your best color but then again so is red. Now what pray tell are you doing here?" I joked and stood in front of him.
He smiled and walked towards me. I watched him as he made his way to me. I always did love how he walked and how he was the bad boy turtle. I was too busy thinking to notice that Raphael was standing there before me.
"Coco, I am here to tell you the truth. I love ya and I will do anything to make you mine." He told me dead serious.
I raised my eyebrows in surprise. This turtle loved me, just as much as I loved him. I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck. I nuzzled into his neck and purred. I felt him shiver under my touch.
"You're a tease ya'know that right?" He growled at me and wrapped his arms around me.
"But I am your tease." I whispered into his ear and licked it. I pulled away to see his face to make sure he registered what I had just said.
He smiled sweetly and took an extra bandana of his and wrapped it around my neck.
"You are mine now Coco, and no one will ever take you from me." He told me and smiled.
I thought about it for a few and wrapped my green bandana around his neck in turn. He smiled at my actions and kissed me.
"I never thought that an outing outside of my apartment would give me the man of my dreams." I said sweetly to him.
That night was the start of new day for the two of us. The day I was forever bound to the turtle of my dreams.
