Raphael asked, still feeling stunned by the information he had just heard "Wait sensei. You're saying that this pansy, right here. She is the daughter of the great ninja master, Yoshi?!"
Splinter looked at him and smiled and said "That is correct my son."
Yuuki shook her head and backed away from the elder rat.
She stared at in disbelief and answered "You've got the wrong girl. I know who I am. I am Yuuki Winters. The daughter of Michael and Sarah Winters, a police officer and a doctor. I haven't done a violent thing in my entire life! Don't lie to me! "
Donatello asked "Why would we lie to you if we rescued you?"
Yuuki commented "I've only just met you all that 's enough for me"
Raphael growled "Oh, so this is the thanks we get for saving your butt! We shoulda just let those guys take you!"
Yuuki frowned and replied "You don't scare me, turtle."
Raphael shouted " You're asking for it!"
Donatello and Michelangelo held him back
" Raphael, no! "
"Chill dude! She didn't mean it! "
Yuuki heard someone clearing there voice and looked to see that it was Splinter.
He spoke "I know that this all seem strange to you. I'm sorry but it's the truth. You are my master's daughter, Hamato Yoshi 's."
Yuuki covered her ears and shouted in anger "I don't want to hear anymore! I want to go home! Take me home now!"
Splinter let out a sad sigh and looked down "As you wish."
He continued "My sons will take you home."
As Yuuki turned around getting ready to walk away.
She heard Splinter replied softly "If you ever wish to visit. You are always welcomed to our home."
Leonardo watched as he saw his brothers follow after Yuuki before glancing over at his father.
He questioned him "Father, are you sure about this, just let her go? She was just attacked by these ninjas we've told you about."
Splinter didn't answer as if he was in deep thought.
Leonardo pressed "I know that you don't want to talk about them but just who are they?"
Splinter answered "I do not wish to discuss this, Leonardo. As I've told you and your brothers before. I don't want you to become involved."
Leonardo mumbled softly "I think that we're already involved."
Unfortunately, Splinter heard his remark. He slammed the end of his walking stick onto the floor, making the turtle jump in alarm. He saw Splinter walk over to him and tapped him with his stick on his plastron.
Splinter quickly retorted "Do not interrupt!"
and continued "These people are dangerous! So I must ask that you stay away from them."
Leonardo looked down, silently, disappointed.
Splinter pinched the bridge of his nose then "But, there is another matter we must address. It involves Miss Yuuki. "
Leonardo silently looked up Intrigued as to what he had to say. He had kept it silent from his brothers, besides his master, for a while, but there was something about her that drawn him towards her. He felt like he known her a long time. When he was just a turtle tot he had always sensed a presence of someone who was watching him while he practice meditation or his katas. He brushed the thought aside.
No, it couldn't have been her.
He heard a voice called out to him "Leonardo! Did you hear what I've said?"
Leonardo answered him "Yes, sensei?"
Splinter replied "I want you and your brothers to look after her, protect her."
Leonardo faced his father and bowed and replied "Hai, father."
There was a long awkward silence as Yuuki and the turtles walked throughout the sewers as no one said a word. The turtles silently with one another wondering what to say not wanting to upset her anymore than she already was.
Michelangelo broke the silence as he quickly walked up beside Yuuki "So, where do you live?!"
Yuuki quietly answered "Between Eastman and Laird."
The turtles looked at her surprised.
Yuuki asked "What?"
Michelangelo happily answered "You live close to us!"
He quickly hugged her making her jump slightly, as she was completely caught off guard, not expecting it.
He continued "I can't believe it! I have a baby sister! And we're neighbors!"
Donatello answered "Mikey, she's the same age as us, technically older."
Raphael pulled the orange masked turtle off of her and replied "You'll have to excuse Mikey. He's an idiot."
Michelangelo answered "I am not! Besides she doesn't mind, do you, Yuuki?!"
Yuuki couldn't help but smile at him. She made a small laugh and answered "No. I've actually always wanted to have a big brother."
Michelangelo stuck his tongue out at Raph and replied "Told you so!"
The turtles and Yuuki climbed up the ladder. Leonardo slid open the sewer lid, before checking to see if it was clear and climbed out. He turned around and held his hand out. Yuuki stared at his hand for a minute debating it for a few seconds then took it and he pulled her up helping her out. His brothers followed behind. They peeked out into the streets then looked at Yuuki.
Michelangelo looked down sadly and replied "I guess this is goodbye."
Yuuki smiled hugged him and answered "I have a feeling that we'll see each other again. Probably, sooner than you think."
As she was getting ready to walk across the street. She turned around looking at the brothers and smiled softly "Thank you." The turtles watched as they saw her went into the house.
A loud voice of a woman shrieked out "MY BABY!"
Michelangelo replied "I think she's going to be fine."
Donatello walked over to him and place a hand on his shoulder "Come on Leo. Let's go home."
Leonardo looked back one last time before running and jumping down into the sewers following after his brothers.
As entered entered through the door after she took one step. She squeaked as her body was met with a huge weight and she felt arms wrapped her tightly crushing her. She struggled to try and breathe and saw that it was her mother hugging her tightly.
Her mother quickly scanned her over and bombarded her with questions "What happened?! You've been gone almost all night! We were worried sick! We have almost half of the city police looking for you!"
Yuuki heard a voice from behind her mother "Honey, I don't think she can answer you with you squeezing her to death. Let her breathe. " She looked to see that it was her father.
Yuuki replied softly "I was on my way home but I was attacked."
Sarah's eyes widen in shock until her eyebrows scrunched down into a frown.
She yelled angrily "What?! Who attacked you?! You tell me now! I'll make them regret that they ever messed with my baby!"
Yuuki quickly replied, trying to calm down her hysterical mother "They were ninjas."
Yuuki's father looked at silently surprised, including her mother, by what she had said.
She continued "BUT! I was saved! By these four turtles, they helped me!"
When Yuuki finished, she looked at her parents who were staring at her surprised and with disbelief by what she had said.
Yuuki asked "Did I say something wrong?"
Michael softly answered "No sweetie. But, where is all of this coming from?"
Yuuki asked "What do you mean?"
Yuuki saw her mother walked out of the room for what seemed like a minute then came back carrying a small box . She handed it to her and she opened the lid. She reached her hands inside her eyes widen in surprise as she pulled out some drawings.
The first one had four small green figures on it with colored masks covering their 's mouth dropped a bit realizing who they were.
Michael replied "When you were a little girl. You would have these weird dreams and tell us about them, about of these turtle like creatures and ninjas and draw them. "
Yuuki looked at the next drawing, on it was Leonardo, who appeared to be sitting down with his legs crossed in meditation.
Her father smiled and replied "You drew this particular one a lot."
Yuuki put it down and picked up another drawing. She felt her blood run cold and her eyes widen as she saw what it was. A man dressed completely in metal armor with glowing red eyes.
Sarah shuddered "You would have nightmares about him for months."
Yuuki placed the drawings back into the box. She sat quietly trying to process everything. How could she have seen the the turtles if she have never met them until just now? Sure, when she was little she always been a little different from other kids her age. She would always know what was happening behind her as if she had eyes on the back of her head, like she sensed it. Now weird visions or dreams? This was becoming too much for her.
Yuuki's father noticed her quietness and asked "Is something wrong, dear?"
Yuuki looked at her parents and replied "There is something that been bugging me. "
Her father asked "What is it?"
Yuuki continued "I had a dream. There was this fire, an apartment and in it there was a baby, crying."
Yuuki saw her parents look at each other silently before her mother quickly answered "It was just a dream! "
Yuuki's father retorted sharply "Sarah! ... we have to tell her."
Her let out a tired sigh and nodded "I know...I know."
Yuuki looked at her father and he continued "That baby you saw. That was you. We wanted to tell you when you were older, when you were 18. Fifteen years ago, it was just an ordinary day on the job until I got the call. I was the only officer in the scene. I called for backup just in case and went on in anyway to see if there was anyone who needed help inside. There was a man but he was already gone. As I was about to leave I heard the sound of someone crying a quickly rushed and found that it was you. You immediately stopped as I picked you up. And now you know the rest. We adopted you."
Yuuki looked down and softly mumbled "So then... I'm not your daughter. "
A loud voice shouted " YUUKI WINTERS! "
Yuuki jumped, not expecting it. She looked and saw that it was her mother "I don't ever want you to say that! Or even hear those words come out of your mouth! It doesn't matter if we're not related, blood or not. You ARE my daughter. OUR daughter! "
Yuuki felt arms wrapped around her as she saw both of her parents hugging her. Her father replied "Maybe you should get some rest. It's been a long day. You can actually sleep in tomorrow since it's the weekend."
Yuuki made a tired smiled "Yeah, that sounds great."
