TMNT- The Lost Danger

Red Flames

Ash watched as Leo swung one of his Katana blades in a graceful uppercut. He was demonstrating some technique. Honestly, the two had gone through so many techniques already, it was bothersome to try and remember the names of all of them.

He wiped some sweat forming on his brow away. Ash watched as his plastron heaved, as the handsome mutant panted. Leo flashed her a grin. 

"Ok, now you try..." Ash blinked, before she nodded. Gripping Leo's other katana blade tightly, she attempted to copy his stance. Leo frowned. "No, you've got the footing wrong.... Try placing your left foot at a more outward angle..." Ash tilted her head in mild confusion, and tried to do as Leo had said. 

Leo sighed, "Here..." He moved behind Ash, and the female mutant tensed as she felt his strong hands on her waist. She blushed, and looked down. She shivered when she felt Leo exhale softly in her left ear. 'He's so....close...' She felt Leo's cool breath on her neck. The male mutant used his own feet to gently nudge her feet into the correct position. 

Leo lifted his hands from her slim waist, and used them to gently guide her arms into the proper positions. The action caused his plastron to press firmly against her back. Leo inhaled her soft scent. 'Cinnamon?' 

He brought his hands down to her waist again. "Ok, I'm going to hold you in place for the first motions. The key is to hold your lower body still in the beginning..." Ash blushed an even brighter shade of pink.

Leo smiled slightly. As Ash began the first motion of the technique, Leo's grip on her waist tightened slightly. Her skin was so smooth... 'She's so...soft...' Leo thought for a moment, and he savored the chance to stand so close to the female mutant. 

Raph growled softly and clenched his fists at the site of Leo so close to his Ash. 

Raph stood just outside the dojo doors, his green eyes fixed on the two mutants inside. He hesitated. He really hoped that this would work. 

Just as Leo withdrew from Ash, Raph entered the dojo. He smirked internally when Ash immediatly stopped her motions, and looked over at him. She perked, and smiled happily at him. Leo frowned. "Raph, what is it?" Raph ignored Leo as he approached Ash. He stopped when he felt he was close enough to her, which wasn't as close as his instincts were telling him to get, but he simply ignore his screaming instincts. 

Ash blushed crimson at Raph's close proximaty. Leo growled quietly. 

"I think you've been training enough for today. Thought you might like to get some air." Ash's amber eyes widened. "Y-you mean, go topside?"Her eyes were filled with hope and her voice was laced with causious excitment. Leo's eyes widend. "Hang on Raph, I don't think that Master Splinter would-" He cut himself off as Ash looked back at him, and he saw the hopefull look in her amber eyes. He just couldn't say no to her, could he? He heaved a sigh. "Ok... But, only for ten minutes...The you have to-" "Got it!" Raph yelled as he quickly grabbed Ash by the arm and pulled her from the dojo, leaving a rather cross-looking Leo.

He released her when they had exited the lair, but he didn't stop running. He could hear her light footsteps behind him as she ran, he turned his head and grinned. Ash ran after him, her face glowing with delight and excitement, her long rich brown hair blowing behind her. He loved it when he made her smile. He turned his attention back to the tunnel before him, before a yelp had him skidding to a (STIP) stop. He whipped around and saw Ash rising from the ground a small hand clutching her left knee. 

She winced, and flashed Raph an apologetic look. "I-I'm sorry... I'm just n-not used to running in the sewers..." Raph approached her and knelt down beside her. She flinched as her grasped her wrist. He gently turned her hand over and examined the scraps on her wrist. He lifted her hand and examined her knee. It was scraped, but not to badly. "You'll live.... Um," he looked away in embarrassment," would you-can I-may I carry you?" Ash blushed. "Oh-um, Raph that won't be necessar-OH!" She gasped as her slid his arms beneath her and lifted her bridal style. "Common, it'll be faster this way anyway..."
