The Ookami Among Us: A Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle FanFiction

Down in the Sewers

Master Splinter walked into the living room, finding all of his sons –and Casey- piled around the television.

“Where are April and Hitomi?” he asked. Raphael looked up.

“They just left.”

“They told us to say bye to you,” Mikey added. “So bye.”

“Why?” Leo asked. “You aren’t worried about April being alone with her are you?”

“Yes actually I am. One of you should have gone with them. We still do not know why the Kraang were creating Hitomi the way she is. They could want her back.” He stopped to pull on his beard. “Although I have been training April, I do not know if she would be able to hold them off on her own, as I am not aware of Hitomi’s abilities.”

“According to my calculations,” Donnie said, drawing invisible equations in the air, “they should be walking in the door right now. Why don’t I call April, and from now on one of us will go with them anywhere after dark.” He pulled out his phone and held down his speed-dial for April’s number. The phone rang 5 times, and then went to voicemail. “No answer…” Raph was already up, putting his Sais in his belt.

“Let’s go.”

“Is your phone really ringing right now?” Hitomi asked, barely jumping out of the way of Rahzar’s claws. April could feel her T-Phone going off in her back pocket.  She groaned inwardly as she swiped Fishface’s knives away from him with her Tessen.

“Yes. Great timing, I know.”

“Well aren’t you,” Hitomi leapt up and jumped off of the mutant werewolf’s back, landing on her feet on the other side. “Going to answer it?”

“It just went to voicemail. Maybe it was one of the guys, and now they’ll come and help.”

“That would be nice,” Hitomi answered. With a yell she threw her claws at Rahzar’s face, aiming for the eyes. He reared back and let out a guttural cry.

“You’ll pay for that!” he roared. In his momentary blindness, he was stumbling back towards April.

“April!” Hitomi knew that even running she wouldn’t be fast enough to knock April out of the way of the beast’s incoming foot. Luckily, someone else was closer. Leonardo jumped off of a roof and onto Rahzar’s head, twisting it and forcing him to go a different way. Donnie grabbed April and jumped to the side. Hitomi had been so focused on what was happening to April, she’d lost track of Fishface. With a dark chuckle, he drove one of his knives into her back. She hissed in pain and swung around to fight him off, only to find Raph had already done the job for her. Mikey landed next to her along with Casey.

“You alright dude… dudett?” Mikey asked, swinging his chucks in front of him. Leo jumped off of Rahzar and prepared to attack.

“The knife is still in,” Casey said, starting to reach for it.

“Leave it in!” Hitomi yelled, turning to face him. Xever picked himself up and shook his head. He threw a look and Rahzar, and they both nodded. As quickly as they had come, they were gone.

“Oh my gosh,” April said, running up. “You’re hurt.” Hitomi kept twisting her head around to look at where she’d been stabbed. Raph was still holding a Sai defensively.

“We need to leave.”

“April’s place is closer,” Donnie said. “I-if that’s okay with you April.”

“Yeah. Yeah let’s go.” April was too busy watching the back of her jersey being stained red. Although Hitomi’s movements were slow, they still reached April’s apartment window in less time than it would have taken them to make it back to the lair. Hitomi sat down on her knees in the middle of April’s room. Someone turned on the lights. April’s room was simple. The walls were a soft yellow color, and the floor was plush white. Her bed was baby blue, and there were a few posters and decorations throughout.
