Finding Rose

Practicing Ninjitsu

"Now, you must feel where they are. Fell it, don't see it."

"OW!!! Why am I still doing the senses thing?!?! OW!!! And why are they still-OW!!!"

It has been two days since the club night and Spilnter is still teaching me the ninja thing. It's still difficult for me to try to find them, although, he didn't blindfold me like the last time, but it was still really dark. As I kept on moving in the only light, which looks like a spotlight, the others kept on whacking me with bamboo sticks. I then had another idea, I walked around the light and wait until I see the bamboo. After one of them whacked me, I turned really fast, grabbed the bamboo and pulled. I then saw Donnie coming from the other side of the bamboo and he fell in front of me, I then heard Raph saying,

"Damn, Donnie. Ya got out first!!"

I then went towards his voice and tackled him until we hit the light. I laughed at him while he growled at me.

"Well, well, well, Raph. Ya been out smarted by a girl."

"Just ya wait, Mikey. You're gonna be next."

"Ha! I doubt it, not after I beat your shell at the BATTLE NEXUS CHAMPION!!!!"

I then pulled Mikey's bamboo stick and pulled him towards the light. I smirked at him like I was saying 'ya wanna bet?' After he came up and went to sit with the others, I felt a whack of my leg and I remembered that I needed to get Leo. As I went around the light to sense him, he kept on whacking me from different directions. It took me a while that he was the master of invisibility and that I needed to outsmart him. I figured out the pattern he goes to and I waited in one of the directions. Before he whacked me, I hid in the shadows and pulled on Leo's leg and threw him in the light. As I went back to the light, I heard Raph, Mikey, and Donnie cheering and Leo got up and bowed to me. Then the spotlight turned off and the lair was lit up again. Splinter came up to me saying,

"Well done, Rose."

"Well done? C'mon Splinter, I said she done great. She even took down the fearless leader here."

"Aw, thanks Raph. But I gotta say it took me a while to get all of you down. Especially Leo. Um, Master Splinter? I only been here for a while but I know when you are coming up with someting. What are you thinking about now?"

"Hmmm, I'm thinking that I have been teaching you for a while and that my sons would soon have students of their own someday. So, maybe, they can teach you their own teachings for a little and I will see how they do."

I just stood there amazed that Splinter could come up with something like that. And the guys seemed more surprised than I was. Finally, I agreed and the guys all agreed too. So we came up who will go first and it was Raph, Donnie, Leo, and Mikey. After the plan, I went to the area that had a dummy, a punching bag, and a stand full of weapons. Raph came up to me saying,

"Alright, I guess I can teach you on strength ability and weapon using. But I guess all we should do for know is the strength, cause I guess Splinter wouldn't want you to use a weapon so soon."

He then pointed at the punching bag and told me to hit it. I punched it will all my might and Raph stood there dissapointed.

"C'mon, girl. I barely saw it swing. Here, I'll hold it and see if ya can punch it really hard."

I punched it a coule of times and waited for Raph to say something. I gave up waiting and kept on punching it for about three minutes. Raph let go of the bag saying that I did pretty good on it. He then led me to the dummy and I realize that it was on a stick. Raph hit the dummy and it swinged back and forth.

"OK, know ya gotta hit the dummy and see how far it swings."

I hit it about ten times and it rarely swung. Raph came up to me, touched my shoulders and said,
