Ch 19 Confessions

Meanwhile Leo, Raph and Donnie were waiting at the docks for Mikey to arrive with Karai. After a waiting for what seamed like hours they saw Mikey and Karai approaching. "Here they come," Leo whispered.

"Yeah no kidding," Raph said rolling his green eyes in annoyance. "We've got eyes Leo."

"Shh quite," Donnie whispered as his brother and sister came closer.

"Kenshen I still don't get why Father sent us here," Karai was saying. "I mean I really don't think there's anything here."

"Yeah," Mikey said with a sigh. "I think you may be right sis. But I'm glad we're alone. There's uh there's something I wanna talk to you about."

"What is it?" Karai said facing her brother.

"Well I..." Mikey began not quite sure how to begin. "I uh.."

"Kenshen," Karai said. "If you got something to say just say it. You've never been afraid to talk to me before. What is it?"

"Well," Mikey said. Then he took a deep breath and just decided to come out with it. "Karai we've been lied to."

"What do you mean?" Karai asked giving her brother a strange look.

"I mean," Mikey began. "Shredder had been lying to us our entire lives."

"Kenshen..." Karai began.

"No Karai please let me finish," Mikey said holing up his hand. "I lied earlier when I said I didn't know where the turtles and Homato Yoshi were living. I do know. I know because they took me there. And I remembered things while I was there. Good memories of when I was young and still living with them. They weren't horrible people. They were good and we were happy. And they showed me pictures. Pictures of a happy family. And pictures of Homato Yoshi and his family. Of him and his wife and daughter."

"His daughter?" Karai asked softly.

"Yes his daughter," Mikey said. "And that daughter is you Karai. You're Homato Yoshi's daughter not Oroku Saki's. You're Miwa."

"Kenshen that can't be true," Karai said. "Father said they would do this. He said..."

"Karai don't you see?" Mikey said. "He lied to you. Homato Yoshi didn't kill Tang Shen. Oroku Saki did. He's the murderer."

"Kenshen I.." Karai said. But suddenly she heard a creaking sound. "Whose there?" she growled. "Show yourselves."

"Relax Karai it's just us," Leo said emerging along with Raph and Donnie.

"You!" Karai growled reaching for her katana. But Mikey put his hand on Karai's shoulder and shook his head. "They're not here to fight us Karai," he said.

"You set this up?!" Karai cried her brown eyes wide with shock. "But Kenshen.."

"My name is Michelangelo," Mikey said. "And yours is Miwa. Please you have to believe me.

"Come with us Karai," Leo said gently. "Let us show you the truth."

"Yeah come on at least give us a chance," Donnie said with a gap toothed smile.

"Yeah you'll never know unless you're willing to hear us out," Leo said. Karai looked at Mikey who smiled and nodded. Then she took in a breath and said, "Alright I'll listen. But if this is a trick.."

"It ain't no trick bitch," Raph said roughly glaring at Karai.

"Hey!" Mikey shouted glaring at the red masked turtle. "Watch it Raphael! Nobody call my sister a bitch!"

"Raph say you're sorry," Leo growled glaring at his slightly younger brother.

"Why?" Raph asked. "She is a bitch. I call 'em like I see 'em Leo."

"Well if that isn't the bitch calling a bitch a bitch," Karai said rolling her eyes. "Ugh like I really care what you think. Let's just go so we can get this over with."

"Let's go," Leo said. With that the group turned and started to leave. But what they weren't counting on was Dog-Pound and Snakeskin arriving. "Well well well what do we have here?" Snakeskin hissed. The three brothers turned and their eyes went wide when they saw the wolf and the snake standing there. "Master Shredder was right to send us here to keep an eye on things," Dog-Pound growled showing his sharp canines.

"Karai Kenshen come on," Snakeskin hissed. "We're getting you out of here." Karai started to go with them but Mikey stood still.

"Kenshen come on," Karai said looking at her brother. "Let's go." Mikey stared at Karai, who was looking at him with pleading brown eyes. Mikey looked at his brothers, who were giving him the same look.

"I.." Mikey stammered not knowing what to do.

"Ugh come on," Dog-Pound growled. 'We don't have time for these games." With that Mikey took a step towards Dog-Pound.

"Mikey don't go," Raph cried out. Mikey stopped and stared at Raph.

"I.." Mikey said. "I don't know what to do."

"Well allow me to help you," Dog-Pound said grabbing Mikey by his arm and pulling him towards him. "You're coming with us."

"Oh no you don't," Raph growled getting out his sais and spinning them ignoring the pain from his broken arm. Donnie got out his bo and Leo got out his katanas as they prepared for a fight.

"So it's a fight you want is it?" Snakeskin hissed his yellow eyes gleaming. "Well you'll find we have some tricks up our sleeves."

"Bring it on snake boy!" Raph shouted as he raced towards Snakeskin while Leo and Donnie took on Dog-Pound. But the wolf was strong and easily took them down. But the brothers quickly recovered and Leo charged towards Dog-Pound while Donnie slid underneath him taking his legs out from underneath him. Dog-Pound fell to the ground and Leo delivered a kick to his head stunning the brown and white wolf. But Raph was having a hard time dealing with Snakeskin due to his broken arm. But soon the purple skinned snake found himself backup against a crate with no way out. So he did the one thing he could think of. He spit venom in Raph's face blinding the red masked turtle. Snakeskin then hit Raph's broken arm hard and Raph let out a cry of pain as he fell to the ground.

"Raph!" Donnie and Leo cried out. This gave Dog-Pound the chance he was looking for and he charged. The wolf grabbed Leo by his broken arm and bit as hard as he could and a sickening crack was heard. Leo cried out in pain as Dog-Pound continued to bite down. Donnie tried to get Dog-Pound off his brother but the wolf was to strong and Donnie was flung across the dock and into a nearby create. But Dog-Pound's victor was short lived as Karai hit the wolf in the back of the head with a board she had found as hard as she could knocking him out cold. Leo's blue eyes went wide with surprise as he saw Dog-Pound fall. "Why," he panted struggling to get up. "Why did you do that?"

"Honestly I have no idea," Karai said helping Leo to his feet. Leo staggered and almost fell but Karai steadied him and allowed him to lean on her. "My gut was telling me not to help," the teen said. "But something else was telling me I should help."

"Well I'm glad you did," Leo said with a smile. Then he looked over and saw that Snakeskin had been knocked out as well by Mikey and the black masked turtle was helping Raph to his feet.

"Ahh my eyes," Raph groaned. "They burn like Hell. I can't see a damn thing."

"Here this should help," Donnie said coming onto the scene. The purple masked turtle pulled out a cloth from his belt and poured water onto it. "Here hold this to your eyes," he instructed. Mikey helped Raph put the cloth on his eyes. "That'll have to do until we can get back to the lair," Donnie said.

"You coming back with us sis?" Mikey asked looking at Karai.

"I already said I would," Karai said.

"Sorry Karai," Donnie said.

"For what?" Karai said with confusion.

"For this," Donnie said. The suddenly he swung his bo hitting Karai in the head and knocking her out.

"Hey!" Mikey cried catching Karai before she hit the ground. "What the Hell Donatello?!"

"What happened?" Raph asked stumbling a little when Mikey let him go.

"Donnie just knocked Karai out!" Mikey cried out glaring at Donnie.

"Well I couldn't have her knowing the location of the lair," Donnie said defensively. "You know just in case she's not convinced."

"You could have blindfolded her you know?" Mikey growled glaring at Donnie.

"Oops," Donnie said blushing. "Sorry."

"Well we can't fix that now," Leo said sucking in his breath as a stab of pain went through his arm. "C'mon let's go home." With that Donnie helped Raph and Mikey carried Karai and the group headed back the their sewer home all of them hoping when they got there Splinter would be able to convince Karai to come to their side.
