Furia's Pov

I leaned against the counter, watching as Mikey poked Raph. Everyone had finished eating about twenty minutes ago so now we were just hanging out. It felt... nice. Like we were a family with no drama.

"Mikey if you know what good for you." Raph warned. I could see his fists tighten. Mikey grinned, leaning forward. I smiled rolling my eyes at his stupidity.

"Heh ha." Mikey laughed as he reached forward to poke Raph only for Raph to grab his finger and bend it back. "Ah!" Mikey exclaimed. I laughed quietly to myself.

Wow this is way easier than I thought. To be happy. I just needed to let go. They're my family. I quickly hid my smile, no reason for them to know I enjoy this way more than they could ever know.

I glanced over at Donnie to see him sticking his tongue out as he worked on the wiring. A small smile started to make its way back onto my lips before I quickly stopped myself.

Control Furia. Control. When you were with Donnie there was only drama, don't make that mistake again. You just need to...

I was knocked out of my thoughts by Mikey screaming.

"Ahh!!"

I looked up just in time to see Raph launch Mikey over the table, right towards me. I gasped, freezing in place until Mikey collided with me. I could feel my back slap on the floor, then my head slam roughly on the concrete floor. My vision went fuzzy then back to normal. My whole body ached.

"Ugh." I groaned out. Mikey quickly crawled off of me, standing up. He grabbed my hand and pulled me up. Automatically I felt dizzy, I swayed to the side but then caught myself. I held my right palm to my forehead trying to ease the pain.

"Furia you okay?" Leo asked. his voice made my head throb.

"W-what." I paused, looking up to see all eyes on me. Mikey was looking down, Raph looked nervous, Leo stood tall but still looked concerned, and Donnie looked the most worried.

"Oh heh I'm fine. Just a small headache." I waved them off, acting like it didn't matter. But the truth was I didn't feel that good. My head was pounding like it might explode and my stomach felt like it was swaying. I gave a small smile trying to ease their worry.

"Do you want an ice pack?" Donnie asked as he hesitantly placed his hand on my shoulder.

"I'll be fine." I smiled as I shrugged his hand off. I looked away to hide my blush, I didn't need this right now.

"Alright let's get to training." Leo smiled, placing his hands on his hips.

Yes just what I need. Training. You know how the old saying goes, when the going gets tough, the tough get going. I just have to work off the pain.

"Awesome!" I shouted. Everyone stared at me because of my sudden outburst. "Lets go!" I ran out of the kitchen ignoring the pain in my head and the weird looks I was receiving from the kitchen. I skidded into the dojo, Splinter turned and smiled at me. Leo was the second in the room, followed by Raph, Donnie, and Mikey.

Splinter gestured for us to line up at the wall. We all walked over and stood beside the wall, waiting to be assigned a sparring partner.

"Alright." Splinter's voice broke the silence that was steadying into the room. "Michelangelo vs Raphael, Furia vs Donatello, and then the two winners will fight and the ultimate winner will go against Leonardo." He spoke firmly. Leo sat over by the wall. The rest of us got into position. I faced Donnie and bowed before we would start.

"Begin." Splinter demanded. By the edge of my eye I could see Mikey charge at Raph with his nunchucks. I blinked, taking a deep breath.

Concentrate Furia. I told myself.

"You okay Furia?" Donnie asked.

"I'm fine." I frowned. "Go."

Donnie charged towards me, spinning his bo-staff. I quickly slid under Donnie's legs, the sudden movement jerked my stomach. I stood still catching my breath. Donnie charged at me again. I swayed, trying to duck. His staff collided with my chest, knocking the wind out of me. I gasped, Donnie froze.

"Furia I-I didn't mean..." I cut him off by flipping him onto his back.

Win by any means.

"Ya-meh" Splinter announced. I watched as Mikey and Donnie sat down next to Leo. My vision went fuzzy but I quickly blinked it away. I stepped forward into position facing Raph.

"Hajime!" Splinter approved. Raph and I started to slowly walk in a circle. I pulled my bo-staff out from behind me. I swayed but caught my balance before anyone could notice. Raph charged at me bearing his sais. I held up my staff and his sais stabbed into my weapon. I pushed Raph back, almost falling down myself. I watched as Raph growled, clearly angry, he launched at me. I tried to keep my eyes on him as he moved but my vision kept going blurry then back to normal. I blinked and suddenly Raph was infront of me. He swung the back of one of his sais. I had no time to react. It smashed into my head, I felt my head hammer with pain. I swayed, losing my balance and falling to the ground with a thump.

"Furia?" The voice echoed over and over in my head, bouncing off my skull.

I opened my eyes slowly to see Raph looking down at me. My vision blurred again.

"M-My head hurts." I whimpered out. I closed my eyes and slowly opened them again to see everyone over me and Splinter holding my head in his lap.

"My daughter are you alright?" Splinter looked at me with concern. I felt my eyes getting heavy and the idea of sleep was welcoming. When your asleep you don't feel the pain of a headache.

"Ow..." I finally breath out and let my eyes close. I could hear people talking above me before I finally drifted into a deep sleep and my mind went blank.

Donnie's Pov

I watched as Furia stepped back, looking like she was trying to balance herself. I leaned forward.

"Wow you won't let go will you." Mikey laughed next to me. I blushed.

"No I wasn't..." Leo broke into my sentence.

"Shh." He glared at me. I rolled my eyes, turning back to the fight. Raph ran forward, swinging the back of his sai at Furia. She didn't move, she seemed to be in a daze. I bit my lip as the leather handle connected with Furia head. She stumbled back, losing her footing and collapsing to the ground. Raph stood over her.

"Furia?"

No answer. I clenched my hands into fists.

"Furia?" Raph asked again.

"M-my head hurt." Furia voice quivered. Everyone got up and made their way quickly to where Furia was laying. Splinter lifted her head into his lap. Her eyes slowly opened.

"My daughter are you alright?" Splinter cooed softly. Furia's eyes lowered slowly.

"Ow..." Furia's voice came out in a feeble whisper. Her eyes closed soon after.

"Donatello will you be able to see what's wrong?" Splinter asked, his voice full of concern but his face firm.

"Yes Sensei. Bring her to my lab." I kept a straight face as I responded. Why was it always Furia?
