Just because I Like You || Ch:1
Karai didn't mean to let that slip from her lips and she honestly didn't get why it bugged her. It's not like she didn't mean it, there were feelings there for Leonardo. But saying it out loud just felt so weird. Then he smiled after she said it, now he knew her secret. That was months ago and Karai was still bothered it.
Especially since everyone who was causing havoc in New York was gone. Minus all the street thugs but the police takes care of them. So that meant Karai spent a lot more time in the lair, while the mighty mutanimals sometimes handled things. Shinigami had gone back to Japan for a while, leaving Karai practically alone. April

TMNT Kame no Kodomo: C1: A Beginning in Blood
There are not many clans left in this world. As the Western ideology has spread across the globe, the people who have followed the true, ancient, honorable ways have begun fading away. Instead of banding together, the few left have maintained feuds that have stretched on for generations. Living outside conventional law, taking matters into their own hands, living as their families have for centuries. There is little need for a police force when revenge is easily and quietly served.
Flames continued roaring around the ninjutsu master as he listened quietly. A whimper, a cry. It was there, very evident. His hardened face began to soften

Two souls are sometimes created together

Chapter 7
Homecoming
The last time I’d tromped through these woods had been with my Leonardo. This time it was with the shadow of him, a crazed version that for some reason thought we were two parts of a constellation. One insane idea backed by another. He wanted to kill April. And she wanted me to lead him right to her.
The slow burn between my eyes had spread up and across my brow, then began to radiate out with every telepathic word April spoke. Lure him to the cliff. We’ll be waiting. Tell him it’s our rendezvous poin

I’ll let go, walking into the unknown
If I surrender, if I lay my arms down
Am I a fighter?
Am I a fighter?
Cause I’ve been fighting so long baby

He dropped the dagger, gripped my shoulders as his eyes searched mine. “We can fix this. Together. Use the psychic, repair the seam. You can come back with me, to our home.” He began pacing. “We’ll have to combine our energies, draw enough power from them to repair the seam.” He picked up the dagger tapping it against his palm. “We’ll have to kill the psychic so the sentient cannot use her agai

Water, our blood.
Air, our breath.
Earth, our body.

Chapter 5
Fire & Water
An audible snarl ripped me from my memory, our story, like an unwanted page in a book. “That’s not how it happened!”
I peered at him, across the fire between us, the flames dancing in his eyes. The cool blue waters that I’d once gazed in for hours these were hardened like stone. “It is,” I said. “That was our first date. I’d remember. I was there.”
He kicked a log, upsetting the rest, sending a rush of red into the air so high I lost sight of him for a secon

Chapter 4
First Date
Sparks flew as his blade clashed the wall, halted just shy of my cheek as his eyes darted over me. His lips parted, his eyes growing wide then small again. He squint, then placed his sword beneath my throat as he stepped closer, inhaling deep. “You smell of flowers.”
He zeroed in on my hair, dropped his weapon to place one hand around my throat. He didn’t squeeze and this meant a great deal to me. Fo

Sparring Together
He kicked at me and I rolled away. Shadows flickered across his cheek, the empty half smile on his face summoning a churn from my stomach. The edge of his katana shimmered in the dim firelight, stained red with the blood of his victims. He had no enemies, there was no one left for him to fight and anyone left didn’t want to fight him. What he had was every living being cowering in his wake and a blood trail like a rabid, feral beast on a warpath.

As he breeched the surface of the tunnel the flicker of red light, the flame, grew steadily brighter. He climbed out, allowing more of the warm red glow toward my eyes. Then he hauled me up. What I hadn’t expected, hadn’t had a chance to block as I climbed to my hands and knees, was his foot to my stomach sending me rolling across the cavern floor, smashing my head against a rock. Then that flicker of firelight, extinguished….
Break down, tears fall to the ground
Tell myself: “Damnit, nothing can be found”
When you’re a fighter
You’re a fighter, fight on baby

Black and Blue
I’d seen dark. If one could say they’d looked into the abyss, into the endless nothing, the obsidian trap where hate could swallow you whole and hold you captive, I’d faced that many times. That kind of darkness was no stranger to me. I’d looked it in the eye, and fought it with a vengeance, one that threatened to consume me along with it. But Leo’d always been there to pull me back, save me from the
A/N: Written for @thewinterme prompt request: "A little cuddling won't kill you, I promise,” over on Tumblr. T Rating. I do not own TMNT. This fic takes place post the inevitable tragedy that will be the end of season 4. I listened to “Say you won’t let go” by James Arthur while writing this one shot.

The sun was setting in the west, swirling shades of yellow, pink, and peach. She tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear and sighed. The air was sweet here, i
