Karai: Secrets Revealed

Surprise Attack

After school ended, I went back to my place, changed and went on my own for a bit. I needed to stop all this and Leo go because he moved on. It was time I did to. I was 'happily' minding my own business on the top of a fairly large building when I was attacked. But with almost sixteen years of endless training they never laid a finger on me. Stopping for a second, I noticed that these weren't muggers, they were other ninjas. All of them were guys. I couldn't see their faces since they wore masks. Within minutes, I beat them all and tied them up. 

  "I'm sorry boys but you know the drill... or should know the drill. I'm going to remove your masks and ask you questions" I said walking up to their leader. 

They struggled to get away from me but I had  major advantage. Once I removed their mask I jumped about ten feet backwards. 

  "Leo?!" I exclaimed. 

We all sat there while I paced back and forth on what my next move was. 

  "Can you untie us?" Leo asked.

  "Why should I? You aren't my friends anymore!" I snapped. 

  "But your fight is with me. They had nothing to do with it" he begged.

  "What? They are the ones who told Splinter and jeopardized or friendship" I corrected. 

  "That's true but we can work this out. Right?" he suggested. 

  "Help yourselves. I've got a vendetta to get rid of" I said and turned to walk away.

  "Karai wait!" Leo yelled. 

I stopped but didn't turn around.

  "I'm sorry we can't be friends but-" he stopped mid sentence.

  "But what?" I asked. 

  "Will you be more than my friend?" he asked.

 I looked at him with wide eyes and an open mouth. 

  "I don't care anymore what my father or brothers say. I like you Karai and I want you to be my girlfriend" he explained truthfully. 

I was speechless. So instead of say anything, I walked up to him and leaned into his face.

  "I like you to Leo. But I can't" I said sadly.

  "Can't or won't? There's a difference" he said again. 

  "I just can't" I said untying him and running off.
