chapter 34

New york; Foot headquarters

Whilst chaos commenced throughout the city and not at the hands of the Shredder with the Foot clan. Despite the excitement would please the crimelord but in the meantime, he has other priorities to be addressed. His physical wellbeing and Karai's future with Chaplin.

Not to forget about the growing feelings toward Hana, whilst another is trying to attract his attention which she is envious of her rival. Kneeling before her private shrine as she meditated and prayed to gain as she hopes will be returned. Softly smiled, as a slight visual vision commenced through the meditation.

Caressed her cheek tenderly followed with a tender smile as he glanced into her hazel brown eyes. Returning the smile, as she reached up to gently grasp his hand and nuzzled the crevice of his palm. With a soft whisper, continued nuzzling his hand as she said tenderly. "I've loved you from the very first moment I saw you, Master Shredder."

Their noses drew closer, soft breathe grew shorter as thier eyes shared a deep connection then finally, closed thier eyes and passionately kissed. Missouri rose her arms to drape around Oroku's neck as he too, draped his arms around her petite frame then lowered his palms to grasp her tight rump and gently pick up into his embrace. As he did so, missouri lifted her legs to drape around his waist to hold tightly upon for support. After a moment of deep passion, thier lips parted and thier glance reconnected.

"You are beautiful missouri, I apologise for making you wait this long for your love to be returned." Oroku admitted and apologised as he carried missouri to the foam mattress in the bedroom close by.

"I only wish, I declared my desire and heart sooner." he continued. Missouri smiled, tearfully as the tears streamed down her cheeks and gently cusped Oroku's cheeks, finally kissed him once more as he welcomed the passionate affection.

Missouri's heart pounded heavily and fast, as she opened her eyes. Praying her vision she had witnessed, will become reality. But first, she is to rid of one rival; Hana Misaki is to be out of the way. Question is, how to do so without becoming a suspect of the murdering ploy? To ensure her plan is to become a success, she has to prove her loyalty to Oroku Saki. And hope he returns her feelings as she declares them. Standing slowly, collecting her weapons of death and smirked to the photograph of her target. Chuckled menacingly, and stated confidently. "You will be dead and Oroku is mine."

Dragging the knife through the photograph's middle, the two halves floated to the floor and she turned on her heel as she made her way to the door, closing it behind her once she stepped out of the room. Elsewhere, Karai and Chaplin prepared for thier date after a short separation as she was requested to check on the facilities in Tokyo for her father whilst he is unable to proceed with the responisbilities that is expected of him.

His progress of regaining what he desires to succeed and reach one goal. Becoming strong once again in mind and body. During his journey to gain once again, Miss Hana Misaki assisted throughout the therapy and endured his outburst temperment, taking it only just a low tantrum as he was expressing his broken pride and ego. Hana understood and always smiled, whilst others would had thrown in the towel and retaliated with outbursive response, Hana encouraged something else.

Understanding, encouragment and most of all; Support. Not once she lost her temper, or responded in harsh manner despite she recieved plently from Oroku throughout the therapy sessions as she would do as expected to encourage and assist her patient to regain and become stronger than what they were once before.

Gently grasped both hands, guiding him to the wooden ballet stands that is used to help somewhat disabled and determined individuals that wished to walk again. Oroku grunted as he felt the agonizing pain in his joints and muscles. Hana could see his struggles and still encoruaged him to try, even it is was only just once.

"I know and understand this hurts, master shredder but just try and that will be all for the day." Hana assured, with a warm smile. Oroku looked up to Hana with a glance of heavy defeat and curiosity as she always smiled and never once, returned the anger she recieved from him. He nodded and softly replied. "Ok, you are the doctor."

Never leaving his side as she patiently waited and guided with each step, slowly and encouraged him to take his time. "Alright, one slow step at a time."

Taking the first step was difficult and had proven to be painful but he was determined to accomplish the task. A few minutes later as they reached the end of the parallel space, enduring the pain as he finally had taken the last step and assisted him to turn around slowly then allowed him to sit in the wheelchair that waited.

"There you go, you have done very well today. Much better then yesterday." Hana smiled, placing a warm blanket over his legs. Oroku watched her as he took in every crevice of her lovely skin in his memory then suddenly he smiled. She chuckled lightly and said. "Now what are you so happy about?"

Shrugging lightly then replied. "Just you are one beautiful treasure." Hana blushed lightly and smiled as she answered. "Thankyou, master shredder."

He gently grasped her hand and she blushed darker, gently pulled her down to him and caressed her cheek. "Please, Oroku. You mean so much more than just a servant." Hana's heart had pounded hard and fast she felt the tender and passionate kiss upon her lips. Parting for a second and shared a deep connection that had proved thier spark between them, hana cusped his cheek softly and returned the kiss as she softly moaned. Unaware that stood outside the room, watching as she gritted her teeth with fierece jealous and hatred toward her rival.

Missouri's blood boiled, tightening her fist as she plotted her ploy into action to rid of Hana and gain Oroku to be hers. Allowing the door to close and sighed heavily, gritting through her teeth as she vowed. "I will prove to you my love that I am the one, you should be with not her." Walking down the corridor and schemed another way of ending Hana without spilling a drop of her blood as she hoped it will bring her and Oroku through a courtship of comfort then finally, union as she desired and wished for in the beginning.

Winchester ranch, a few days later

The over worked purple clad terrapin, dragged himself from the kitchen as he carried a hot cuppa of fresh brewed coffee. Tiredly walked back to the infirmary as he was stopped by leatherhead. "Hey, Leatherhead. Why you standing outside of the door?"

Lightly bit his lower lip, and blushed lightly. Donatello immediately caught on what had the large croc so silent then answered his own question with a surprised glance. "Oh?" Leatherhead nodded and remained silent. Casey approached the large croc and purple clad terrapin as he rubbed his eyes and commented.

"Sounds like that party animal is back in action, right?" Lightly nudged donatello's tricep. He sighed and replied. "Yes, let's hope he doesnt open those stitches."

"Anyway, seen raph?" he wondered. "He is with rachel. Paying his respects to her uncle." Casey sighed, rubbed the back of his neck. "How do we break the news to Jade about the black wolf?"

"I have no idea, but for now they need time alone."

Meanwhile outside in the family cemetry plot. Raphael and Rachel, placed fresh flowers on the tombstones. Raphael embraced his wife close, comforting her as she grieved and mourned for the last member of her family. "Raphie." she softly sniffled. "Yeah, vixen." he answered tenderly.

"Promise me that you will kick the ass of the deadbeat that had hurt my uncle." she requested, holding his arms around her tightly. Raph sighed, kissed the back of her head and answered. "I promise vixie, I promise."
