TYNG {UNDER EDITING}

A Safe Place (Part4)

          She slowly opened her eye and looked up to see that Raph had caught her.

          "Are ya fallin' fo' me already?" he asked with a cocky smirk on his face.

          Roxan looked away and stood up quickly with a slight blush across her cheeks. "You wish," she mumbled as she walked further into the room. Her crystal blue eye landed on the bed to see a black kimono with a red obi lying next to it. It had red cherry blossom petals decorating it. She picked up the kimono gently, "This is beautiful," she breathed.

         Master Splinter came in behind Raph and saw her admiring the kimono. "I thought you could wear that until you found something more to your liking," he said as he broke the silence.

          Roxan turned on her heel clutching the fabric to her chest. Her eye showing shock before her mask came back. "Thank you," she breathed and bowed low in respect and gratitude.

       "You are quite welcome child," he chuckled. "Come Raphael. Let us give her some privacy," he instructed.

         "'Ight," Raph said as he left, closing the door behind him.

          She watched them leave and quickly changed. She threw her tattered clothing in a corner and layed her trench coat on the bed. She put on the kimono and tied the obi around her waist. It emphasized her curves and breasts. She combed through her hair with her fingers the best she could. She let her long, wavy, black hair hang loose.

         She left the room and entered the living area. Raph was punching a dummy when she entered. He stopped when he saw her. She saw Raph staring and a light shade of pink dusted her cheeks. She mentally shook herself and put up her wall's. She looked around and saw Splinter meditating. She walked over, sat on her knees, placed her hands on the floor in front of her, and bowed. "I am ready to prove myself," she said as she sat up.

          Splinter opened his eyes and asked, "Are you sure child?"

           "Very much," she replied.

           "Very well," he said as he looked around for all of his sons. "Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, Michelangelo!" he called.

         They lined up in front of Splinter. "Yes sensei?" Leo asked.

         "It is time for a sparring match," he looked at Roxan, "You will all be sparring with Roxan-san," he told them. "What weapon would you like to use?" he asked her.

         She looked at him with a gentle smile. "I will not need a weapon, but thank you," she told him as she bowed. She stood up and looked at the boys. "You may use yours if you choose," she said with a smirk.

           The boys got into their fighting stances and waited for Splinter to give the order. "Hajime!" he signaled. They circled Roxan, waiting for her to attack. She signaled them to come at her. They attacked and she dodged without any effort.

           After 30 minutes of dodging she got bored and decided to taunt them. "Is that all you got? I could dodge and attack with my eye closed," she smirked. They put all of their energy into the fight.

         After 3 hours the boys were panting and could barely stand. She tackled Leo first and made sure he stayed down. She attacked Donnie and then Mikey. She saved Raph for last. When she tackled him she whispered in his ear, "Yoi kenka, atsui shina." She stood up and bowed to Splinter. The boys stood up groaning from exhaustion and she bowed to them. They bowed back.

         As Raph was straightening he saw Roxan wobble. He was at her side in seconds. "Easy there," he said as he held her upright.

        "I'm fine," she told him as she moved away. She began to walk to the room when her vision went black. She felt a rush of air around her and she knew she was falling to the hard concrete floor.
