Usagi laughed a bit as Leo kept talking. "So, wait, your younger brother eats peanut butter with his fingers, but your older brother is allergic to peanut butter?" Usagi said, finding it quite ironic. "Does he get an allergic reaction when the younger one cooks?" Usagi said, Leo scoffed a bit. "Not really, Mikey literally wash his hands so much I'm starting to think he worse than a germophobic." Leo said, this made Usagi chuckle a bit. "Wow." Usagi said, but both went silent as the boat announced they were stopping. Leo gasped softly as he looked up and saw a giant mansion. "Is that the place full of those Silver Lotus?" Leo asked, Usagi nodded and led Leo off the boat. "Okay. While we're here, we can't make it seem like we want to steal the flowers." Usagi said in a hushed tone, Leo looked at Usagi but nodded.
"Okay, but why can't we just ask for them?" Leo asked, Usagi stopped and turned to Leo. "Because the Lotus Flowers are endangered, this is the only place known to yokai kind that still can grow the Lotus Flowers. Not to mention if we did try to buy one, you and I would both be in debt to the staff for the rest of our lives. " Usagi explained, causing Leo to look at the mansion. This place did seem like it ran off money so it'd only makes sense that the items were extremely expensive. "Okay, so whats the plan?" Leo asked, both began to walk into the mansion. "We simply say we're florists and came to make sure the flowers are in good health. We grab two, one for me and one for you." Usagi said, but Leo then remembered how this flower would be on the list. "Just a quick question." Leo asked, pulling Usagi to a pillar so they could talk quietly.
"What happens if we get caught stealing them?" Leo asked, Usagi looked at Leo with slight annoyance. "As long as you stay silent, we won't get caught." Usagi said, Leo sighed and rubbed his bro. "I know we won't get caught, I'm talking about my brothers and friends. I can trust them not to get caught, but they don't have the knowledge of the place like you do." Leo pointed out, Usagi sighed and looked around. "I suppose it would be easier to grab them while we're here, but they'll be harder to grab." Usagi said and looked back who Leo, who frowned at Usagi. Usagi sighed again and rubbed his brow. "Alright, alright. We'll grab them, how many more do we need to grab?" Usagi asked, Leo smiled brightly. "Just three more, that should be it." Leo said, Usagi nodded and looked out past the pillar.
"Okay, just follow my lead and stay quiet." Usagi said and led Leo around. Leo made sure to stay silent as Usagi maneuvered around the many people here. They soon found a yokai dressed in a suit. Usagi explained who they were and why they were there, simple florists here to do the yearly check up on the Silver Lotus's. The yokai eyed Leo and Usagi before nodded and began to lead them to a door far from the others. The yokai then unlocked the door and held it open for the two. "You both get 30 minutes, then you must leave." The yokai said, Usagi nodded and both he and Leo walked in. Leo eyed the door as it was closed and locked behind the two. "Okay then, let's get to work." Usagi said, Leo looking ahead and gasping softly, the room was the size of a ballroom. Stairs on the side led to rooms used to test the flowers or to put down information in notebooks as one side was full of shelves.
The main floor was full of Silver Lotus, which were glowing cyan blue with a black center. Each were small and Leo looked up to see that Camera were staring at both Leo and Usagi. Leo nudged Usagi and pointed to the cameras. "You guys sure do take security very seriously!" Leo yelled to the cameras, but then he gulped when the cameras moved like they were nodding. "Okay, didn't know those were there." Usagi whispered as he walked over to the flowers and squatted down to inspect them, Leo did the same thing but a few flowers down. "So how do we make this work?" Leo asked, making sure to keep his gaze on the flowers and to switch every now and then to avoid suspicion. "Normally I'd assume the cameras get turned off to give the workers a break, but there's loads of staff her that it wouldn't Suprise me if they had another worker take the originals place." Usagi mumbled, grabbing a small knife from under his cloak and cutting a flower off.
He quickly turned to a camera and rose it into the air. "This one is dying. So, unless I hadn't cut it off, the others would start dying!" Usagi announced, the camera flashed a green color and looked around. Leo hummed and looked around the flower patches. "So, we can nab the bad one. My list doesn't specify that the flower has to be in full health." Leo whispered, Usagi looked around and scoffed. "I suppose that would be true, but I need a full grown and healthy one in order for my katana to work again." Usagi said, Leo hummed as he looked around. "Okay, so just say you accidently cut one next to an actual dying one." Leo whispered, Usagi nodded, and both remained silent as they looked for some flowers. Leo had been silent the entire time but did look up at Usagi for a quick second and froze. Usagi held a dead flower in his hand and spun it around to see each angle of it. He then looked at the inside of it and smelled it, his eyes going wide as he pulled the flower back and sneezed into his arm quietly. Something that made Leo snicker.
"Is that how you sneeze?" Leo asked, Usagi looked at Leo. "What? It's a normal sneeze." Usagi said with a frown, but Leo only laughed a bit. "No good sir, that would be known as a kitten sneeze." Leo said as he put a balled hand to his mouth. Usagi frown grew more as he narrowed his eyes. "And why, pray tell, are they called Kitten Sneeze's?" Usagi asked, causing Leo to snicker more. "Because they're so cute and small!" Leo said, Usagi blushed as he looked at Leo with angered eyes. "I AM NOT CUTE!" Usagi said as he slammed his fist into the ground but froze, Leo stopped laughing as he looked at Usagi's fist, it landed on a Silver Lotus. "Oh-boi." Leo said as Usagi raised his fist with fear in his eyes. "Maybe they didn't notice?" Leo asked with a nervous grin, but then an alarm went off as the room turned red. Leo and Usagi stood up as the windows were suddenly closed off with these metal doors. Usagi looked down and quickly grabbed the remaining flowers. "Okay, I got them, let's go!" Usagi said, Leo nodded and quickly grabbed his katana's. He opened a portal to the doors other side and fully expected a hoard of guards to come at them. He went through first to protect Usagi but looked around in confusion as Usagi stepped out after him.
"Uh, I thought we set the alarm off." Leo said as he noticed how the hallway was empty. Usagi looked around and seemed confused himself. "I guess not." Usagi said as he also looked at Leo. "Then if not us, who did?" Leo asked, both gasped as they heard yelling and fighting, looking up and seeing a guard getting launched into the wall. Leo and Usagi headed over and Leo's eyes went wide while Usagi's narrowed. In the center of the main room, a hoard of guards either ran away or were fighting someone. Leo lowered his katanas as he saw it was Shadow, they were fighting. Shadow kicked on guard and looked up, anger filling her face. "SO, THIS IS WHERE YOU'VE BEEN!" Shadow yelled, Leo laughed nervously and turned to look at Usagi. "I'm gonna assume you're not gonna help-" Leo stopped when he saw Usagi had left already, with all the flowers they had stolen. "Gah- no!" Leo yelled but yelped as something grabbed the back of his shell.
"Come on!" Shadow yelled as she grabbed Leo by his shell and dragged him out. Leo yelped and saw more guards heading their way. So he quickly got out of Shadow's grasp and made a portal. "Come on!" Leo said and quickly shoved Shadow through it. Both yelped as they landed on the ground and the portal closed behind them. Shadow looked around and saw both were back at the lair, hearing someone clear his throat. Shadow turned around and saw Splinter seeing on his coach with Piebald next to him. The fish mutant looked at Shadow and Leo and laughed nervously. "I'm gonna assume I missed a lot." Piebald as Leo groaned and sat up, rubbing his head. "How far did I get us?" Leo asked as he looked up, groaning from the sudden movement. Shadow frowned as Splinter hopped off from his chair to walk over to Leo. "So far to give yourself a possiable migraine." Shadow whispered; Leo nodded as he kept rubbing his head. Shadow then helped Leo up and onto the chair as Piebald went to grab a blanket and pillow, Splinter went to go grab some water and ibuprofen. "I'll ask you what happened later, alright?" Shadow said as she sat on the floor, Leo nodded and closed his eyes, the pounding in his head growing.
