Thanks for reading this, hope you enjoy it! If you flame, I will set Zero(or my self, I am demon too according to my friends.:)) on you. Enjoy! I DO NOT OWN TMNT.
"My business here is none of your concern, Karai. I can look after myself." The cloaked figure snarled dangerously, close to losing it's temper. Struggling to remain in control of the situation, the figure quickly clenched its fist, shooting its gaze away from Karai out on to the setting sun that could be seen from the roof.
"Well my father clearly disagrees with you on that matter" Karai slyly sighed, placing her tanto back in it's sheath across her back. "You know, I think he enjoys messing with your head."
"Oh, good. That murderous traitor you call father actually enjoys something for a change. Give him my congratulations." The cloaked figure snapped sarcasm and venom dripping from every word. Karai's eyes widen in shock, never had someone dared to talk about her father that way before.
"Do not speak that way about my father, Zero. My father is the same man who so graciously saved you from that fire six years ago!" Karai growled eyes no longer wide in shock but blazing in anger. Zero saw the look in Karai's eyes, but was not the type to back down from a challenge. And a challenge it was indeed. Karai's eyes narrowed, daring Zero to insult her family again. Zero swiftly pulled a tanto out of its cloak, identical to Karai's except for the blood red blade that adorned it, instead of a bright steel one. Running a hand over the blade, managing not to cut itself because of the dark leather gloves it wore. Raising its head, Zero's eyes widened a tad, showing dark blue irises sparkling with mischief.
"You know what Karai, I think a training session is in order. You agree, correct?" Zero stated, edging Karai on. Karai knew Zero was practically begging for a fight, and oh how it was going to get one. Karai slid quickly into a natural fighting stance, one that would give her an advantage to any of the close range attacks that Zero was famous for. Zero was eager for a fight, if Karai could see its face she was sure it would have a large triumph smirk marring it's features. Even though Karai hadn't seen Zero's face in three years, she remembered every detail on it. Sometimes in her dreams, that face, a face that was once innocent and unscared, would haunt Karai. Zero had once, years ago, been human. As innocent and graceful as a water lily. But those days were long gone. Only four years had passed since the accident, but in one of those years Zero had changed. No longer was Zero a innocent child, but a blood thirsty monster, one that, even though she would never admit it, scared her. Now looking into its eyes, Karai felt that fear rise up again. Karai knew Zero would never strike first, instead it would wait, watching and learning how it's opponent fought. Zero had always had this strange ability, in a matter of moments it could learn your weakness and then it would strike. Hard. Karai exhaled and slowly breathed out. She heard the faint rustle of cloth, signaling the other ninjas forming a circle around them. This being a daily occurrence, the others had come to anticipate their fights, wondering who would win this time. As Karai opened her eyes again, she saw Zero standing there. Patiently waiting for Karai to attack. Karai smiled, and lunged forward bringing her tanto in a flawless arc over her forehead.
Five Years Later
it was just a memory.
TBC...
Wow, that was harder than I thought it would be. I update as soon as I get another chapter done, which will be soon. Don't worry the Turtles will show up soon, just a little memory of Zero's. Ya, as you can tell Zero has attitude, lots of attitude. I am not going to say if Zero is a boy or girl yet, so start exercising your patience skills. I see if I can update next week. Chow! disclaimer: I Don't Own TMNT. Sorry for the whole Jacky/Karai thing. I wrote this for some thing else and then changed it to TMNT. I do not own TMNT.
