Chapter 12
Leonardo ran through the city as fast as he could, carrying the girl as cautiously and comfortably as possible. The bleeding of her abdomen slowed during the trip, but she still reeked of burnt flesh. The smell made him fun faster.
When he finally made it back to the sewers, Leonardo carefully maneuvered to Donatello's lab, avoiding detection from his brothers or Master Splinter. A confrontation between any of them would not go well, and he wanted to delay it as much as he could. Leonardo knew he wouldn't be able to hold off their inevitable questions for long, but the explanations would have to wait. The girl came first.
When he stepped inside of Donatello's lab, Leonardo awkwardly set the girl on an empty, metal worktable. He then felt her pulse and checked her breathing. Both were weak and rapid but sure signs she was still holding on.
'What is taking Donnie so long?' he thought, irritated with the delay as he brushed the girl's bangs from her sweaty brow. Despite current circumstances, he thought she was quite pretty.
"Don't worry," he whispered, trying not to wake her, "You'll be fine."
Leo pulled his hand away and reluctantly left the female's side to retrieve some towels from the other room. He returned and pressed them to the wound on her stomach, trying to stop the bleeding. She groaned but didn't regain consciousness.
"Hey, Leo!" Donatello called out as he entered the lair, "You in here, bro?"
"Donnie, I'm over here!" Leonardo answered, leaving the girl's side to meet his brother in the doorway. Donatello's eyes were wide and panicked when he saw him.
"You're covered in blood. What happened to you?" he asked.
"It's not mine," Leo insisted and turned to the still form on the metal table, "It's hers."
His explanation made Donatello panic further. "You brought a girl to the lair? What are you thinking?"
"You don't understand! I couldn't leave her behind," Leonardo insisted, "I mean, look at her. There has to be something we can do to help."
Donatello sighed. Leonardo wasn't willing to let the matter drop and, after seeing the girl for himself, neither was he.
"Raph and Mikey are going to freak, and Splinter's not going to like this," he briefly commented before he walked past Leo to go to his work station.
"I'll get my first aid kit. Go wait beside her," Donnie instructed.
Leonardo nodded and walked to the female's side. He frowned when he noticed her blood seeped into the towels he brought and started applying pressure to the injury again. Donatello was quick to return with his first aid kit and a second, smaller table in tow. When he came to a stop, he placed the table nearby and set the kit on top of it. With no hesitation, he lifted its lid and withdrew a syringe before loading it with a clear liquid.
"What's that for?" Leo asked.
"It's an anesthetic. It's not much, but it'll keep her asleep for a few more hours and numb the pain while I work," he answered without pausing, "I need you to hold her arm steady for the injection. It's going to sting, and she might wake up before it takes effect."
"Isn't there something else you can do that won't hurt her?"
"This is the best I can do. Come on, Leo, if you want to help her, we gotta move fast."
"Okay, I got it," he replied, still uneasy to inflect more pain on the badly damaged girl.
Nonetheless, Leonardo leaned over her still body and used one hand to hold her arm flat to the table while he placed the other on her side. Donatello ripped off her left sleeve with ease and cleaned her exposed shoulder with an alcohol wipe. When he finished, he took the syringe and injected the anesthetic in her deltoid muscle. She hissed and tried to move away, but Leo kept her down. Slowly, she began to relax and both Leo and Donnie moved away from her.
"So far, so good," Donatello surmised, "I can take it from here, Leo."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah. I'll call you if I need you, so stay close. For now, just keep everyone else out of here," he told him. He immediately added, "And go clean yourself up. You're a mess."
Leonardo looked down at his shell and winced; the front was slick with the girl's blood.
"Alright," he said before leaving, "I'll be right back."
Leo left and quickly washed, eager to remove the sanguine stains from his body and return to the girl's side. Donnie may not have needed him yet, but he would feel much better if was there. As soon as he cleaned himself and the mess he made in the bathroom, Leonardo saw Raphael and Michelangelo stepped into the lair, fresh from their patrol duties before he could return to the lab. He stilled and tried to relax as they approached him. He wasn't sure how they would react to the injured girl on Donnie's worktable, so he wanted to make the big reveal go as smoothly as possible.
"Hey, Leo!" Michelangelo greeted him, "What's up, bro?"
"Nothing much," Leo replied, his tone slightly shaky. The other two didn't notice.
"So how many Kraang droids did you and Donnie crush?" Raphael asked, grinning.
Leonardo shrugged. "We split up, so I didn't keep track."
"That's code for a big, fat zilch!" Mikey exclaimed, "The dynamic duo dominates once again!" Raphael shook his head but readily returned Michelangelo's high three when he held up his hand.
"Where's Donnie anyway?" he asked.
"In his lab," Leonardo answered and instantly regretted it when they left him to head for the lab. He dashed forward to cut the two turtles off before they could interrupt Donatello.
"What's your deal?" Raphael asked.
"Well, something sorta happened while we were out," Leonardo vaguely confessed.
"Like what? Is Donnie okay?" Michelangelo asked.
"Or did you just get your shells kicked and don't want to admit it," Raphael quipped, smirking.
"That's not it," Leo said and sighed. The only thing he could do now was tell them the truth and hope they didn't react too badly.
"There's this girl—" he began but was cut off.
"Don't tell me this has to do with Karai," Raphael warned.
"No!" Leonardo protested then winced. The kunoichi was connected to this situation even if her level of involvement was unknown for now.
"Well, not exactly."
"So what exactly happened?"
Before Leonardo could answer, Donatello called out for him, his tone urgent.
"Leo, I need you to bring me some fresh water and more towels ASAP!"
"I'm on it!"
As Leonardo set to do his appointed task, Raphael and Michelangelo continued to the lab.
"Hold it! Don't go in there!" he shouted.
"And we should listen to you why?" Raphael questioned. It was clear he was becoming irritated.
"I need some help with this, okay?" Leo explained, "Donnie's working on something very, very, very important, so you can't just barge in and bother him."
He let out a relieved breath when his brothers decided to follow him. He held it again when they walked to the lab carrying armfuls of towels and a large basin of water.
"We got it, Donnie," Leo said before he opened the door. Donatello was hard at work, and his position in front of the table obscured view of the injured girl, so Raphael and Michelangelo couldn't see her.
"Good. Bring it over," he instructed.
Leonardo slowly led his other brothers to the table and set the basin of water on the side table. Raph and Mikey now had a clear view of the girl. Michelangelo acted as expected, looking at the stranger with eyes full of shock and concern. Unexpectedly, Raphael stopped and dropped the bundle of towels he held. His eyes dilated and focused on the young lady, motionless and pale on the cold, metal table. Leonardo didn't have long to ponder his curious reaction.
"Whoa," Mikey quietly exclaimed, "She is jacked up. What happened to her?"
"I met her after Donnie and I separated to fight the Kraang," Leonardo began to explain, "I don't know everything, but Karai was after her and—"
"Karai did this?" Raphael interjected, his voice shaking with rage and his eyes still focused on the injured girl. Leonardo was startled by the amount of anger he heard in his voice.
"Huh?" he uttered, "Raph, what are you—?"
"You let her do this?" Raphael repeated, jerking his head up to face Leonardo.
"No! I—"
Raphael didn't wait to hear any more fragmented explanations and charged, fists raised and ready to attack.
-O0o0O-
April paused to lean against the wall of the sewer tunnel to catch her breath. Her training with Master Splinter did wonders for her stamina but running nonstop from the noodle shop to the lair under emotional distress was more daunting than she expected.
'Break time's over,' she thought and began running again.
April hoped the Turtles were back from their patrol when she closed in on the lair. She still wasn't able to get any of them on the phone. She sped up when she heard the clash of metal on metal and stopped when she saw Leonardo barely blocking Raphael's frenzied blows, his eyes white with rage.
"What are you guys doing?" she asked, maddened. Her calls were ignored just so they could have a sparring match.
"Ask Raph!" Leonardo blurted, still trying to keep up with Raphael, "He just started attacking me!"
April's eyes hardened. "Break it up already! There are more important things to take care of right now!"
"You're telling me!" Michelangelo said and tried again to stop the fight without entering the line of fire.
"Raph, snap out of it!" he shouted, but the turtle continued to ignore him. He was fully focused on inflicting as much pain as possible on his brother for reasons still unclear.
"Mikey, get back in here!" Donatello called from the lab, adding more fuel to the chaos, "I still need your help!"
"Can you hold off on that? We sorta have a situation here!"
"We have one in here too if you already forgot! I need help now!"
April groaned and spoke again, ready to step in and break up the fight herself. "There is a bigger situation on the surface! Knock it off!"
Before anything else could be said, Master Splinter appeared, thrusting his jade staff in between Leonardo and Raphael. At his sudden intrusion, the Turtles ended their fight.
"What is going on in here?" he questioned.
Raphael spoke for the first time since his outburst, and said, pointing at Leonardo, "Ask him!"
"Me?" Leonardo asked, "You were the one who attacked me for no good reason! What's your problem?"
"My problem? You're my problem! You did this!"
"Raphael! Leonardo!" Splinter interjected before Leo could reply, "That is enough!"
As soon as he spoke, Leonardo and Raphael turned away, unable to face the other. Splinter glanced at one son then the other, trying to find some reasoning behind this incident. His sons were often rivals but never to this extent. It appeared as though Raphael truly wanted to hurt Leonardo. That troubled him a great deal.
"Hello?" Donatello bellowed, "Can someone get in here and help me?"
Fed up with being ignored, April said, "I'm sure this is all very pressing family business, but something really bad happened between Murakami-san and the Foot Clan. I need you guys to get up there now!"
"April? Listen, I could really use some help!" Donnie beseeched, "It's urgent!"
April groaned and stomped into the lab.
"You don't have time to—"
She froze when she spotted Kagome's body, bloody and broken, with Donatello hovering over her, doing the best he could to treat her shorthanded. Forgetting her ire, she rushed to Kagome's side, nearly in tears.
"Kagome!" she cried.
"You know her?" Donatello asked, looking at the redhead from the corner of his eyes. He slowed but didn't stop working.
"Yeah, but I'll explain what happened later. What do you need me to do?" April asked, gaining her composure for Kagome's sake.
"I've already stopped the bleeding on her stomach wound and treated most of the surrounding burns. I need help cleaning and dressing them. Then we'll look at her other injuries."
"Got it."
Master Splinter looked on as Donnie and April worked before turning his attention to his other sons, particularly the two he forcibly separated.
"Michelangelo, close the door so Donatello and April won't be disturbed," he instructed.
"I'm on it, sensei," Mikey replied and did what he was told, shutting the door with him on the other side. He definitely did not want to be present for the conversation Splinter was undoubtedly going to have with Leonardo and Raphael.
With the three of them were alone, Splinter calmly stated, "Tell me what happened."
"That's what I want to know!" Leo shouted and turned to Raphael as he did the same, "Why did you attack me like that?"
"Because this is all your fault! What did you do to Kagome?"
"If you would just list—Wait."
Leonardo narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you know her?"
Raphael stiffened but maintained his anger. "That has nothing to do with this!"
"Quiet, you two!" Splinter yelled. He realized the two of them could not be questioned together.
"Raphael, go wait for me in the dojo. I will to speak to you and Leonardo separately."
Raphael opened his mouth to protest but promptly shut it and ultimately left as he was told, retreating to the dojo.
"Now then, tell me about this Kagome," Splinter told Leonardo.
Leonardo shrugged and said, "I met her after we left for tonight's mission. Donnie and I split up to fight the Kraang. They had me surrounded and I wasn't paying attention." He paused and glanced at the closed lab door.
"She just showed up out of nowhere and pushed me out of the way before they could finish me. She took a blow that was meant for me and beat the Kraang on her own…"
Leonardo trailed off and covered his face with his hand. Suddenly, the earlier brawl with Raphael looked more appealing than this discussion.
"Raphael is right. This is all my fault," he admitted, "I couldn't think of anything else to do and I didn't want to leave her behind, so I brought her here. I thought that Donnie could help her."
Splinter placed a reassuring hand on Leonardo's shoulder. "You did all you could, my son. That is all anyone can ever ask of you."
"But what if that isn't enough, sensei?"
"What matters is that you try, and no one can fault you for that as long as you continue to strengthen yourself. Do you understand?"
Although he didn't exactly agree with Master Splinter's reasoning, Leonardo begrudgingly nodded. "Hai, sensei."
Splinter withdrew his hand and stepped away from him. "Wait while I speak with Raphael."
Again, Leonardo nodded. Before Splinter reached the dojo, he called out to him. He had an important piece of information he needed to tell him.
"There's something else you should know. Karai from the Foot Clan was after Kagome."
Splinter paused and looked back at Leonardo. "The Foot Clan? Are you sure?"
"Yeah. She confronted us after the Kraang were destroyed but left without a fight. I'm not sure why," Leo explained.
"I see," he uttered thoughtfully stroking his beard as his ears twitched. This situation was growing more complex and unclear by the second.
With that information in mind, Splinter resumed his walk to the dojo. Before he entered, he paused and observed Raphael as he leaned his head against the large tree inside with his fists balled at his sides. His knuckles were bruised and swollen indicating he vented his frustrations by hitting something. Based on his disheartened disposition, the tactic didn't work.
Splinter approached Raphael and put a hand on his shoulder. The turtle looked up to him, his expression unreadable but undeniably sad.
"Have you calmed down?" he asked, gentle.
Raphael stepped away from the tree and nodded, avoiding eye contact with his sensei. Even though he seemed calm, he wasn't sure what Splinter already knew about the situation and the girl who seemed to be right in the center of it.
"Very well. I need you to explain what happened and how you are involved."
Raphael took a deep breath and began to speak.
"I don't know what happened, but that girl. Her name is Kagome Higurashi." Raphael paused, thinking of what to say. There were so many thoughts buzzing around his head, so many things he could say the human girl.
"She is my friend. I met her when I was on patrol one night, and the two of us started hanging out," Raphael decided to admit, "I thought…I mean…I tried so hard to keep her a secret…I never wanted Kagome to get hurt because of me…I was so careful…but it didn't work…"
Raphael growled and punched the tree.
"I knew this could happen! I knew, and I still didn't protect her! I'm such an idiot!"
"Raphael, I know you are upset, but you cannot change what has happened," Splinter told him. That was something he knew all too well, "You must focus on the present. Your friend still needs you."
"What can I do for Kagome now, sensei?" he asked, truly lost.
"A friend in need can be strong as long as you remain by her side."
"What good will that do? Kagome will never want to see me again."
"You cannot be sure until you speak with her," Splinter insisted, "Perhaps it would be best if you take some time and mediate to settle your thoughts. Then you can fully support Kagome."
"Hai, sensei," Raphael said before he quietly left the dojo with the intention of retreating to his room.
Master Splinter frowned as his son walked away, his whiskers drooping. It seemed the injured young woman was the only one who could get through Raphael. He knew from the beginning that he found a friend on the surface and quietly encouraged the relationship, knowing he would tell him and his brothers when he was ready. However, he never expected anything like this to happen to force him to reveal his secret.
There was also the matter of the Foot Clan's pursuit and abduction of Kagome. Splinter could only guess what occurred while she was in their custody with only bits and pieces of the truth. He would have to speak to her for a more concise explanation. Until then, her health was the top priority.
When Splinter exited the dojo, he saw Raphael walking across the living room right past Leonardo, ignoring him completely. Leonardo prepared to follow him.
"Raph—" He stopped when Splinter held up his hand.
"Raphael needs some time for quiet reflection. We should leave him alone until he is ready."
"But that's it? He just gets to walk away?" he asked, "What about what happened?"
"You will learn that soon," Splinter said, "Now there are more pressing matters to attend to."
"Hai, sensei."
-O0o0O-
Donatello continued treating Kagome's injuries with April's assistance. She stirred as they worked by didn't wake. April was concerned, but Donnie guaranteed it was a good sign. It was easier to work with her sedated compared to doing so if she was awake. Michelangelo ended up leaving under his instruction to tell Murakami niece was safe but unable to return home.
"Maintain pressure on the packing," Donatello instructed, "I'll be ready with the bandages in a second."
"Got it," April replied and placed both hands on Kagome's stomach.
With the situation considerably calmer than before and Kagome's condition, stable, Donatello asked, "So what's the deal with this girl anyway?"
"Her name is Kagome. She's Murakami-san's niece I told you about before," she answered, "When the two of us went to the restaurant after studying, the Foot Clan were waiting for us. They tied up Murakami-san and I then took Kagome away. That's all I know."
"Is Murakami-san okay?"
"Yeah. He's just worried about Kagome."
April moved away so Donatello could bandage Kagome's torso. He surprised her with his gentleness. He pulled away when he was satisfied with the wrappings, ensuring they were secure but not too tight.
"That's the worst of it," he announced, "I'm going to look at her feet next."
"Anything I can do?"
"Sure. Clear out these bloody towels, and get us some fresh ones and more water."
"I'm on it!"
When April left, Donnie examined Kagome's soles, wincing at their condition. Her feet were red and blistered with shards of rock embedded in her skin. Before Leonardo found her, she must have escaped the Foot Clan on foot.
'What were the Foot hoping to accomplish by taking her?' he thought, feeling all the more concern with Kagome's condition.
"How's it look?" April asked when she returned with necessary items.
"It's worse than I thought, but we can still treat it. April, can you pass me a pair of tweezers from my kit? I need to remove all of the debris from her soles before I bandage them."
April nodded and gave the tool for Donnie.
"Thanks," he said and quickly went to work. He paused when he noticed April anxiously wringing her hands from the corner of his eye.
"There's a second pair in there. You can help out if you want," he suggested.
"Alright. Just pick up the rocks and stuff?" April asked as she picked up the tweezers.
"Yeah. If there's anything too difficult just leave to me."
April nodded and started working on Kagome's left foot while Donatello continued on her right. She managed to remove the smaller pieces of rock that weren't buried too deeply. Donnie made this look much easier than it really was.
After several minutes of diligent silence, April called out, "Donnie?"
"Yeah?" he answered without looking up.
"I just wanted to thank you. For everything," April said wearing an appreciative smile, "I know Kagome and Murakami-san are grateful too."
He blushed. "No problem."
-O0o0oO-
Kagome groaned as she came to, her mind fuzzy and her body numb. It felt like all of her muscles were strained beyond their limits. Once the events prior to her waking up came flooding back, she understood why.
'I think I'm broken,' she absently thought as she became more and more aware. There was the familiar feeling of gauze wrapped around the soles of her feet, her forearms, and her torso, blankets carefully tucked around her, and soft cushions supporting her head.
Not having the strength to sit up, Kagome weakly opened her eyes and looked around. Her surroundings weren't familiar, but she was certain she was not back in the Shredder's custody. She doubted the dog and robotic, walking fish would make sure her injuries were cared for and she was comfortable while she slept.
"I think she's awake," an unfamiliar male mused aloud, his voice originating somewhere to Kagome's right.
"Hey guys! She's awake!" he repeated, shouting.
"Not so loud!" another male scolded, "She is supposed to be resting." Kagome recognized his voice; Karai referred to him as Leo.
"Relax, bro. I know what I'm doing. Just watch."
Before Kagome knew it, the most adorable turtle she had ever seen stood over her wearing an orange mask with a light green skin, large baby blue eyes, dark green freckles, and a large smile stretching across his face. Then, as soon as he appeared, he held up a peace sign with his left hand.
"Okay. Tell me how many fingers I'm holding up," he instructed.
"You shell brain! What is that supposed to prove?" Leo asked, clearly annoyed.
"If you be quiet and let her answer, you'll see!" the younger turtle insisted.
Leo's next response was cut short when Kagome began to laugh until her lower body began to ache. Leo was quickly by her side once she started to cough as her laughter persisted.
"Go get Donnie," he instructed the other turtle. As soon as he left, Leo turned his attention back to Kagome, his deep blue eyes filled with worry.
"Are you okay?" he asked, "Do you need anything?"
"I'm fine," Kagome answered after she caught her breath, "Sorry if I worried you, but, when I saw the two of you like that, I couldn't help myself."
"Oh," Leo uttered, an embarrassed blush making his face a light shade of brown, "As long as you're okay. You were out for a while."
"Really? It sure feels like it."
Kagome's eyes widened when one thought came rushing back, the main reason why she went with the Foot Clan.
"I need to go!" she shouted and tried to sit up.
"Hold it!" Leo told her as he pushed her back as gently as he could, "You're in no condition to go anywhere."
"You don't understand—"
"But I do," Leonardo assured her, smiling, "Your uncle and April are both fine. Nothing happened to them after you left."
"How…how did you know about that?" Kagome asked, her nerves beginning to settle.
"I'll explain later. Just trust me, okay?"
Kagome nodded, accepting the excuse. The turtle was more nervous than he let on, but she decided to believe him. If he was related to Raphael as she suspected, he had no reason to lie to her.
"Alright. Could you tell me where I am?"
"Don't worry. You're in a safe place. My brother Donatello treated your injuries after I brought you here," he told her, "And my name's Leonardo."
She grinned. "Nice to meet you. I'm Kagome, or did you already know that?"
"Well I—"
Another turtle entered the room carrying a first aid kit, cutting Leonardo off with his arrival. He was taller and slimmer than the others and wore a light purple mask. Leonardo quickly addressed him.
"Hey, Donnie. Kagome just woke up."
"Good," he remarked. He kneeled next to Kagome opposite to Leonardo and smiled, showcasing the gap in his teeth.
"Hi, Kagome. I'm Donatello, and I'll be taking care of you until you recover. How are you feeling?" he asked, genuinely concerned.
"Admittedly, I've been better. My whole body is stiff, and it's hard for me to move."
"Are you in any pain?"
"It's dull, but it's there. I feel it on my stomach and in my arms and legs."
Donatello nodded and began rummaging through his kit. He removed a small container of white tablets. "Your muscles are probably strained from overexertion. I'll treat you for that later. For now, I'm going to give you some pills in case your discomfort increases. I want you to take two after you eat something. Think you can do that?"
"Yeah," she replied with a nod, "Thank you for taking such good care of me. I really appreciate it."
Donatello blushed as he received her praise. "It's no trouble at all."
He paused when he heard Kagome's stomach growl and smiled along with Leonardo as her face grew red.
"I'll bring you something to eat, so you can take those painkillers."
"Thank you," Kagome murmured, embarrassed.
"And I got just the thing you need. My famous pizza noodle soup!" the younger turtle called from the doorway, grinning.
"Pizza?" Kagome repeated.
Donnie rolled his eyes and said, "We also picked up some miso soup from Murakami-san if you would prefer that. And our creative cook over there is our younger brother Michelangelo." He turned to address him.
"I told you to stay out of here until I was finished."
"Not my fault. Master Splinter wants to come in. Is that cool?" Mikey asked.
"Yeah. We're just finishing up. I'll bring him in."
"Hold it," Leo said then addressed Kagome.
"Our sensei wants to talk to you. Are you up for it?"
Kagome smiled and quickly decided she liked Leonardo, Donatello, and Michelangelo just as much as she liked Raphael. She was certain she'd like their sensei too.
'Where is Raphael anyway?'
Kagome couldn't help but feel a little hurt that he wasn't here along with his brothers. Then again, if he was able to piece together what happened to her and why, he likely felt responsible for it because of their relationship and wanted to put some distance between them. If that was the case, Raphael would turn up eventually.
'Typical tough guy move,' Kagome fondly thought. Since her new caretakers weren't likely to let her leave anytime soon, she would just have to stay put. For now, she was very anxious to meet his father, her nerves returning. She pictured this meeting before but never imagined this scenario.
"That'll be fine, but would you mind staying with me?" she timidly asked.
"Not at all."
With Leonardo giving him the go ahead, Donatello left the room with his first aid kit. The next time the door opened, the Turtles' sensei walked inside.
Kagome thoughtfully hummed as he approached, curious. 'He's not another turtle.'
