Fourteen: Heartbreak

Back at Shredder's lair Karai had just got back and snuck through the window. She was still thinking about what happened with Caitlin and Chris and how she hurt them.

As she started walking down the hall, she began to think back to a memory of her and Caitlin when they were younger.

Flashback…

''Caitlin where are you?!'' a ten year old Karai was racing through the halls looking for her eight year old sister.

She suddenly stopped running when she heard crying coming from the room next to her. She opened the door and saw Caitlin crying. ''Caitlin what are you doing in here?'' she said leaning down next to her. ''I'm hiding.''

Karai closed the door behind her. ''Why are you hiding?'' ''because, father punished me for not using my powers during training.'' ''What? do you wanna talk about it?'' Caitlin shook her head.

Karai sat down next to her, and hugged her. ''It's gonna be okay sis sometimes he's hard on us because he cares.''

Caitlin sniffed, ''sometimes I don't believe that. I think he treats you better than he does me and I don't think he cares about me.''

''That's not true. ''Caitlin, you know he's hard on you because he wants to see how your powers work.''

''He's never hard on you. Especially when you don't do well.''

''I don't know why our father treats you like that but I will still be here for you. I will protect you and I promise to make sure nothing bad will happen you you'' she gave her a hug.

Caitlin looked up at her sister, ''you really mean that?'' ''I do.'' Caitlin smiled and hugged her sister back.

end flashback…

Karai sighed thinking about the memory. ''I'm sorry I couldn't do more Caitlin.'' ''Where have you been girl?'' Karai turned around and saw Rahzar glaring at her.

''I was out looking for the traitor.''

''Don't you remember what the Shredder told you? you shouldn't-'' ''I don't care! all I wanted to was find her and bring her back her so she can be punished!'' Karai snapped.

Everything fell silent before she spoke again, ''What do you want?''

''We found the girl. She's with the turtles. Their protecting her now, I don't know why but they are. I tried to get her but she fought back and knocked me into a wall.''

Karai sighed, ''nice going dog face.'' Rahzar growled. ''Don't call me dog.''

''Whatever. Just don't get your fleas everywhere. I won't report this to Shredder so long as you keep your mouth shut about where I was.'' ''Agreed.''

He walked off, while Karai walked to her room trying to figure out what to do next.

*…*

''And that's what happened.'' Back at the lair, Caitlin and Chris were with Master Splinter explaining what had happened.

''Karai tried to take me away, she dating Chris to get to me, and she just…disappeared when she heard the sirens.''

Splinter was surprised that Karai did not know that Chris and Caitlin were brother and sister.

He figured that Shredder had told her something about Caitlin's past, and that perhaps there was something more he was keeping from Karai that he doesn't want her to know about.

''I am proud of you Caitlin. You held your against two very strong opponents, but I am also proud of you Chris, for helping your sister.''

''That's what family is for,'' Chris replied. ''I just wish the girl I like didn't just end up trying to use me.''

''I understand, but she is Kunochi, and will do anything it takes to get her answer.''

''I know that now,'' Chris sighed. ''I just wished things turned out differently.''

Caitlin put a hand on his shoulder, I'm sorry Chris.''

''It's okay,'' he replied. ''You didn't know.''

Caitlin still couldn't help but feel a little sad that her brother's heart was broken.

Splinter put a hand on his shoulder, ''I understand your heartbreak Chris. My heart still aches from when I lost my wife so long ago.''

''You had a wife?'' he asked. ''I didn't know that.''

Splinter nodded. ''Yes, when I was human. I had a baby daughter as well.''

''What happened to them?''

Caitlin looked over at Splinter, she had already heard the story but it still broke her heart to hear Splinter say, ''The Shredder took them away from me.''

Chris looked surprised since he never heard that story before and never asked about it.

''I'm sorry.'' ''I'm sorry to, Master Splinter.''

Splinter nodded, then looked at Chris, ''you see Chris, you may have gotten your heart broken but that doesn't mean you are alone. You have your sister, you have each other, and I know you will be there for one another when you go through something just like this. Just like how even though I lost my wife and daughter, I am thankful to have my sons, April, Casey,'' he smiled at them, ''and you two as well.''

Caitlin was a little shocked, but then she realized she was finally happy to find her family. She looked at Chris and gave him a hug. ''It's gonna be ok.''

Chris began to smile. ''I know, as long as we have each other and our friends everything will be okay.''

Caitlin smiled and hugged him again. ''It sure will.''

They departed and Chris left to go back to his apartment, while Caitlin looked for Leo.

She went into the kitchen and found Donnie typing on his laptop, Raph looking for a snack, and Mikey was playing with something in the fridge.

''Hey have you guys seen Leo?''

Raph shrugged, ''don't know where fearless is.'' Mikey nodded, ''yeah haven't seen him for a while.''

Caitlin sighed. Where was he? suddenly, she heard something that sounded like a cat and before Mikey could stop her, she looked in the freezer. ''Um, what's that?''

Mikey grinned, ''oh that's Ice Cream Kitty.'' Caitlin looked at the strawberry, chocolate and vanilla ice cream cat as it looked at her. ''Meow.''

''Um... do I wanna know?''

''Caitlin, this is Ice Cream Kitty.'' Mikey petted Ice Cream Kitty on the head and she licked his hand.

Mikey smiled and licked Ice Cream Kitty. ''Mmm. You always taste good.'' Caitlin stared at them for a minute, but then shrugged and went to find Leo.

She saw him coming out of his room, ''Caitlin there you are.'' ''Oh hey Leo.'' He smiled at her. ''So how are you doing?'' ''I'm okay. Still a little shocked about what happened with Karai though. He nodded, ''I understand, but I'm glad to hear your'e okay, I've been worried about you.''

She grinned at him. ''Oh have you?'' He looked away from and started turning red, but cleared his throat. ''Um Caitlin, I was wondering if it would be okay if we hanged out tomorrow, you know... just the two of us.'' Caitlin stared at him, ''like a date?'' Leo turned red again, ''um…well…'' Caitlin laughed. ''Yes Leo, I'd be glad to hang out with you.'' Leo smiled at her, ''great!'' and then he raced off to get things ready for tomorrow.

Caitlin smiled as she walked back down the hallway and went into the living room. She sighed happily. Hanging out with Leo. Wait…it's a date. Oh My God. It's a date.

Caitlin's face grew pale. ''I don't know anything about dating.'' She spent so much of her life being trained as a ninja that she doesn't know anything about going on a date, how to dress, and everything else about going on a date.

Then she remembered who could help her. April O' Neil. Without a second thought, Caitlin raced out of the lair to go see April.
