AN: WARNING! THIS CHAPTER IS BORDERLINE M!

Not really, cause I've seen some PG-13 movies that show what I'm writing about. So if you can stomach the risqué parts of a PG-13 movie (which is what I equate to a T story), then you should be fine.

Well, consider yourself warned.

"We won't leave you to…" Leo started before Splinter put a hand on his arm.

"We will take your offer. But it will take us time. One of our family is in no shape to be moved easily. We need at least a week." He offered respectfully.

One of the suited men nodded. "We are civil enough to grant you that. You have a week before we begin to hunt you down."

The one holding Kait threw her to the ground before they climbed into the car, peeling away quickly. Don didn't wait for permission before he ran to Kait, pulling her off the ground and into his arms, yanking the gag off her mouth and beginning to untie her wrists.

"You're safe now, baby." He murmured, running his hand through her hair and over her face, holding her close to him. "You're safe now, Kait. They can't hurt you anymore."

Her sobs scared him more than anything. Her crying made it clear that she was too terrified to form the responses she wanted to. She sobbed as she flung her arms around his neck after he had untied her wrists. She sobbed as he held her, rubbing her back, running his fingers through her hair. None of the other approached them. They, especially Raph, knew that they needed each other right now. That this could make or break their relationship. She had to believe that he would protect her. And he had to make it clear that he would.

She nodded against his shoulder, her sobs still going strong. "I don't wanna go home. I don't wanna go home ever again. They know I'm there. Please, don't make me go home." She whispered almost nonsensical into his ear.

He nodded, picking her up in his arms, her feet leaving the ground as he cradled her to his plastron. "Well, I had hoped to wait for this until we were father into our relationship, but you are welcome to move in with us. You can take my room and I can take the lab. You'll be safe. We can move your stuff into the lair. You can bring Cujo if you really wanted to." That elicited the giggle he had wanted to hear as he finally walked back to his family.

They all nodded to them, some patted his shoulder. They knew she was there to stay, then. She was officially part of the family. "Raph," Don looked to his brother solemnly. "I know you wanna be with Em right now, but I need you to go tell Casey and April what's up. We're gonna need their help getting her settled."

Without any complaint, or any words at all, Raph nodded and disappeared into the shadows on the way to Casey's apartment.

Don insisted on carrying Kait back to the lair. He refused to let her out of his arms. He had only had her to himself for a short while. He couldn't believe she was already being threatened because she loved him.

Kait clung to him tightly, her arms around his neck as a few tears fell onto his skin. She was terrified of what could happen to her, to them. She felt that her life put the brothers and their family in danger. She felt that her love put them all in danger.

It was a quick run to the lair, everyone wanting to be in the safety of their brick fortress. Don still held Kait in his arms, standing in the living room with his family. "Where can we go?" He asked quietly, readjusting his hold on Kait.

"The farm house?" Leo asked quietly, looking around at the others, gaining a collection of nods. "I'll call Casey in the morning, see about getting all of Kait's stuff here and getting Emily's equipment moved to the farm house."

They all dispersed quickly and quietly, searching for some sanctuary before the storm. Don pulled Kait even closer as he started walking up the stairs. "You can take my room. I'll sleep in the lab."

Kait shook her head slightly. "Stay with me, please. I don't wanna get left alone right now."

"Of course." He murmured, gently kissing her forehead. "There's a chair in there, I've fallen asleep in there before."

He opened the door gently and pulled himself inside with his charge in his arms. Suddenly ashamed of the disaster that was his room, he carefully set her on the bed, covertly pushing a towel onto the floor as he did so. Kait curled her legs underneath her, watching him try to push things underneath his bed so he wouldn't seem so messy, even though it was in his nature to throw things somewhere and only move it when he needed it again.

"Don," Kait murmured, following him with her eyes. "Don," he finally stopped fussing over his mess and looked at her. "Come here, please." She touched the edge of the bed beside her. He sat down heavily, reaching out to touch her hand.

"I'm sorry about all this, Kait. I'll keep you safe, I promise." He gently touched the side of her face, letting his fingers run through her hair.

She nodded, pulling against his side, needing to feel his comfort. "I trust you, Don. But right now, I need you."

Don took his cue and wrapped his arm around her, pulling her close. He ran his hand down the back of her head, feeling the softness of her strawberry blonde hair between his fingers, and running his hand down her back. He could feel the ridges of her spine through her thin t-shirt. He could feel the edges of her ribs as she took deep breaths, breathing in the scent coming off his skin. He started running his hand over her hip, feeling the soft terry clothe of her sweatpants. Kait didn't stop him, and Don knew that contact calmed her.

Taking a deep breath, he finally decided to talk about what happened. "Are you ok?" He asked softly as she nodded her head.

"Better now." She sighed as he moved closer to her, softly touching her arms and unfolding them from around her body. She watched him carefully as he kept his eyes locked on hers.

"Did they touch you?" He asked, his eyeridge creasing in concern as she hesitated to nod her head. He sighed and ran his hands slowly and softly up her arms. "I'm sorry I wasn't there sooner." He whispered as he looked away.

"Don, it wasn't like you could have prevented…"

"That's exactly what I could have done." He snapped as Kait moved away slightly. He took in a slow breath before raising his eyes to meet hers and letting it out. "I can't let it happen to you again." Don said, moving closer. Her body responded to his touch as he coaxed her closer, their chest touching. She looked away from his eyes, down his neck, to his chest and to hers as she met his eyes again with a soft smile. "I can't lose you." Don said softly as he placed his hand at the side of her face.

She tried to stop herself from crying but couldn't help it as a tear rolled down her cheek. It had been emotional night, too emotional, and she couldn't hold on to them any longer. She knew she couldn't be without him. Not right now. He was the only thing that was making her feel safe.

Looking down at his strong arms slowly fixing themselves around her waist, she let out a shuttered sigh looking back up into those beautiful chocolate eyes. Closing hers slowly, she moved her hands from her chest and placed them on his forearms. Slowly sliding hers hands up his arms, she felt every curve and crevasse of his muscles against his taunt skin.

Biting her lip she reopened her eyes on his as she let out another soft broken breath. She moved her body closer, leaning up towards him as he bent down sliding his cheek along hers. She closed her eyes again to the soft touch, feeling his warm breath wash against her ear. Her body trembled as he ran his hands up the small of her back.

"Kait…" He said softly as she nodded her head, not able to find the breath to speak. "I don't think I can stop." He whispered. She clenched her eyes shut; pressing her lips together to hold back a gasp as she felt his hands find their way under her shirt.

"I don't want you to." She said softly back against his neck as he took in a deep breath. She felt his chest rise against her as his hands quickly moved from her back to the back of her thighs and pulled her into his lap. She almost yelped as he held her tight against him.

She smiled, leaning down and pressing her lips tightly against his as her hands gripped his shoulder muscles. Don picked her up slightly, setting her down with her back on the bed as she smiled against his lips, slowly pulling back. He rested his forehead against hers as their eyes remained shut. Moving his hands from her back up into her hair, letting the soft stands run through his fingers as she smiled to the touch.

"Don, please tell me this isn't just a one-time thing." She said softly as he pulled back and opened his eyes on hers. He searched them for a moment before sighing and grazing his thumb across her neck.

"I don't know…I want…" He stopped with another sigh as she pressed him to go on.

"You want what?" She asked softly, leaning her face into his neck as her nose slowly grazed against it. He took a slow breath in from the touch as her lips touched his neck, kissing slowly down to his shoulder.

"This." He sighed softly as she smiled nodding her head.

"I want this too." She said as he shook his head.

"We can't."

"Says who?" She asked kissing her way back up his neck. He ran his hand over his head, trying to clear his thoughts and make himself think straight as a wave of pleasure hit like wild fire throughout his body from her lips touching his skin.

"Kaitlynn." He said softly as he pulled her chin up to look at him. As she did, her lips glistened in the candlelight gleaming in the room. He took in another calming breath before speaking. "You really want this?" He asked arching an eye ridge as she smiled and nodded her head.

"Donatello, I've wanted this, I've wanted you for a very long…" Before she could finish her sentence he pulled her lips on to his by her neck. She smiled, wrapping her arms around his shoulders as he pressed his body against hers tightly.

Don woke up the next morning to the strangest sensation he had ever woken to. His left side was awfully warm, compared to his usual coldness in the mornings. Trying to sit up, he found his left side weighed down by some unknown force. When his eyes finally struggled open, he saw her lying beside him, her head on his shoulder.

Kait was still completely unclothed, just like he had left her the night before. Her right arm was cradled against her chest while her left arm rested on his plastron. Her left leg was hooked around his under the blankets. Don's own left arm was underneath her head, gently touching her back.

He had found her tattoo the night before. It was on her upper left ribcage. It was a koi fish wrapping around a lotus. Don remembered everything from the night before, but it suddenly wasn't as pleasurable. She had needed him, but he took advantage of her, of her body. While he was thinking, Kait's eyes fluttered open and she started smiling up at him.

"Good morning, Don." She murmured, gently pecking his cheek.

"I'm sorry." It was the only thing he could think of, and he had to tell her.

Concern creased her forehead as she sat up a little, her chest pressing against his plastron. "About what? Last night?"

He nodded slightly. "I should have been supporting you, not…" he bit his lip, unable to continue.

She shifted, rolling to straddle him, crossing her arms over her chest. "Donatello, we both wanted his last night. You and I alike. Don't feel bad about it, please."

"But you were upset, in shock, and I…"

"Did what we wanted. What I wanted. What I want." She purred her last statement as she leaned down, pressing her lips to his.

Don growled low in his throat. In that split second, Kait had taken control of his body, bending his will to what she wanted, and she wanted his body again.

They were down for breakfast just shy of an hour later, Kait's hand held tightly in Don's. He never let her get more than a foot away from him, keeping her body within touching distance. His head was still in the clouds, and he knew she was too. His first experiences with a woman had come in quick succession and left him almost wobbly on his feet. He was happy when he was able to set down at the table, Kait only a few inches away. He waded through breakfast in a blissful haze, wondering if this was how Raph felt after all the times he had taken Emily to bed.

What must have been several minutes into the conversation, Don finally realized Kait was talking to Leo.

"Yeah, I can get all the essentials into a few boxes and throw Cujo into a backpack. I can take care of it all with just Casey and April." She told him, chewing on her bottom lip.

Don began listening more attentively, wondering if she meant moving into the lair or the farm house.

"Well, Casey and April are taking Emily ahead of time. Can you wait for a few days?" Leo returned thoughtfully, planning out the resources at his family's disposal.

She nodded slowly. "If I can just go get some clothes and my cat, then yeah, I can wait."

"You're Emily's size." Raph piped up quietly, looking across the table at her. "You can borrow some of her clothes."

"Thank you." Kait spoke just as quietly as he had, giving him a small smile. "And I can get Milo to bring Cujo home with him for a little while. His dog loves that cat more than I do."

The boys around the table nodded and Don wrapped an arm around her waist, squeezing her a little. "It's all gonna be ok, Kait."

She nodded slightly, leaning into his arms. The breakfast ended and they all went their separate ways with the exception of Kait staying within five feet of Don at all times. He was in the training room and she sat on the mat, watching him move, her eyes captivated by the motions he went through, his muscles straining in his concentration and control.

"Teach me." She called out to him almost an hour into his training.

Breathing heavily and sweating, he turned to her, confused. "Teach you what?" he asked, wiping his brow.

"That." She waved her hands in his direction.

He almost laughed, but stopped himself. He had to admit, that as outlandish as it sounded, she needed to learn as much about protecting herself as she could as fast as she could. When Emily joined the family, she already knew how to fight. Kait was joining them as a meek and quiet woman, so fragile that sometimes it looked like a heavy wind could snap her in half.

"Alright." He sighed. "We can start now if you want." He told her quietly, walking over to her and wrapping his arms around her back, kissing her head softly. He felt her nod against him. "Let me go get some of Emily's clothes from Raph. I'll be right back, doll." He kissed her forehead before walking quickly to find his brother.

Don returned a few minutes later with a pair of Emily's athletic shorts and handed them to Kait. She checked the size on the tag and, sure enough, Raph was right, Emily wore the same size as Kait. Looking around, she quickly unzipped and dropped her jeans, pulling the shorts on quickly. Not quick enough, though, to keep Don's temperature from rising. Clearing his throat awkwardly, he helped her put her hair up into a ponytail.

"Excersize time." He smiled playfully and quickly tipped her chin, jumping backwards so she would chase him. As old as they were, for ten minutes they chased each other back and forth across the mat, laughing and giggling and lunging for each other until after several minutes Don caught her up in his arms, both of them breathing heavily.

"We need to start you with stretching." He murmured, taking her hand and leading her to the center of the mat, helping her sit down and push her into position.

It was slow going, her unworked body resistant to being pushed in different directions, but her muscles still remembered the movements from dance and started to cooperate after a few minutes. Don stretched her for almost an hour and a half, slowly working her more and more and farther and farther. It was almost intimate, the way he touched her and helped to move her body, but it only served to charge the air in the room.

When Kait was released from Don's first attempt to train her, she was sore and tired. She fell asleep in his arms on the couch, still in Emily's shorts.

For nearly a week, things progressed like this. Don slowly getting her body used to the motions of ninjitsu while joining her in bed t night. After a few days, she had all of her essentials with her as well, officially moving in with the boys.

They knew they had to leave, but there were complications with moving Emily. The farmhouse didn't actually have electricity, and Casey was having problems getting the generator to stay constant enough to support Emily's medical equipment. So five days after the warning, the family still hadn't moved. Most of their belongings were at the farm house, but they were still in the sewer.

Don was anxious. He didn't like keeping Kait this close to harm's way. They only had a day before the Foot's time limit was up. He was especially nervous when Kait was called to the surface. Milo had called earlier that day, something about Cujo getting into something she shouldn't of and needing to be taken to the vet.

"I'll be back before you know it." She murmured, kissing Don's cheek, squeezing his biceps.

He nodded sadly, holding her close for a moment. "Call me when you get to the vets and when you leave the vets. I'll be waiting right here for you when you get back to it, ok?"

She nodded slowly, looking at the manhole above them. She was right by Milo's house at this point so she could pick up her cat and take her to her favorite vet, Dr. Ortega. She was known to keep odd hours and was good with critters with personality.

Milo was happy to see her, pulling her into a tight hug and handing her the tote bag full of pitiful cat. She was meowing and whining and mopping in her padded carrier. Quickly, though, she was out of Milo's town house and onto the streets walk quickly to the vet's office. In ten minutes, she was there, feeling terrified but otherwise unscathed.

The receptionist took the cat from Kait so she could bring her back to Dr. Ortega, giving Kait a chance to call Don. Unfortunately, there was a small terrier barking his head off inside the waiting room, so she stepped outside to call Don. In the setting sunlight, the city was bathed in red, looking ominous to her as she waited for Don to pick up his phone.

"Hey, babe." He sounded relieved, making Kait smile. "Did you make it there alright?"

"Yeah, I didn't notice anyone following me and I didn't even see anyone."

"Good. Call me when you leave, Kait."

"Sure. Bye Don. Love you."

"You too." She clicked the phone shut and turned to walk back into the vet's office when she felt something clamp down over her face and pull her sharply backwards.

AN: Yeah…Well…I warned you.

And yes, I know, another cliffhanger. And yes, I know, you're probably all sick of Kait getting snatched.

Things are about to get interesting, just saying.

As always: questions, comments, and concerns are loved!

Sincerely,
C M
