Love Spirits - a tmnt love story 2003 version

Ch. 5

Cat P.O.V

I was surprised that Raph had actually followed me here knowing that the hot head turtle in red was not one to take orders so easily or didn't want to show it in front of Vee and Leo. That is what I thought in my opinion as I know how that feels. We got to the living room and I nearly cringed at the sight of how it looked right now. Even though we had to get this clean I need to talk to Raph as well. So we could start of by fixing the couch a bit.

"Alright c'mon Raph. We can start with the couch first." I told him moving over so that we can pull the back so that it was a couch. However when I got where I need to with his help he hadn't move where he was. Which confused me a bit.

"I may had to follow your command because of the other two that were in the other room but why would I want to help you clean a mess that was caused by the two of you?" Raph said before he asked crossing his arms. I lifted up my brow before I stood up straight.

"Because its polite and it would be helpful?" I asked him hoping that it would have convinced him however it didn't as he smirked and place both of his hands behind his back.

"I don't DO politeness, doesn't win battles." He said with a smug look. 

I narrowed my eyes, taking in his cocky grin and swaggering posture. There was no way in hell! I was going to get sassed in mine and Vee's house by ethereal beings. Mostly by this stinking hot head turtle. Then suddenly I remembered something they told us. If we were supposed to be their mystical summoners mostly when each of us has one. Vee with Leo and me with Raph. This suddenly got me smirking as Raphie was going to get it now. So it was time to see if that came with any perks. I got into position with a firm look.

"I command you to help me with the couch as well cleaning everything in this room!" I told him firmly and suddenly Raph stiff a bit at this and suddenly before I know it he bolted up right and came over to help me with the couch making me grin in victory . He could only glare as he came over to help me fix the couch right. 

"You figured that out pretty fast." He said as he was on corner while I was on the other making me grin as I gave a cute look.

"Well what can I say, I'm a quick study." I told him as we fix the back of the couch right and then we heard a click knowing that it was back in place we then went on cleaning. However as we got to the table that had the empty pizza boxes on with a few nail polished I whirled on the unexpected red turtle Djinni. As I was definitely playing offensive as I frowned at him which surprised him as he stood straight up.

"Alright, so I know you come from another time, and another place but...you're here now and you're going to have to play by new rules. First of all, stop messing with Leo. Don't tell him to be quiet, or push him. Secondly, when you either address one of us, you address us with respect. I know that I don't like it much however you can call me Miss, my nickname or Caterina. Not mortal, not woman, or female turtle. Or any other mean name to Vee as well you can also call her Miss, Vee or Victoria. You got that?" I told him expecting an argument in return for what I had just told him. 

But the sly smile slid across his lips. He took a step forward, narrowing the space between us and unexpected pushed me to the couch luckily had been able to keep my balance. I was suddenly very aware of just how much bigger he was than me, even if I am a turtle like him. But it would take more than a few inches of height and broad shoulders to cow me. However our position caused me to blush really as I had not expected this. But I manage to clear my voice before I spoke as I frowned a bit.

"Is there something you want? I don't know if you think you're being cute. But if you don't get out of my personal space in the next two seconds, I'll make you." I told him still frowning at him as I was able to get my blush down. However he still had that sly smile on his face as he tilt his head to the side a bit. 

"What an amusing contact. You making me do anything." He said which made me roll my eyes and shoved at him. Suddenly he caught my hands playfully, and what felt like fire licked up my shell and spine. I gasped, sensation racing along every nerd of my body in a brilliant surge. When my vision cleared, and I could think again, I looked at Raph in awe. Having never felt like that before.

"What was that?" I asked really surprised and shocked which could also say to Raph as he was also surprised and strange by the feeling that went through them both.

"I...I'm not sure. Actually I haven't felt something like that in a very long time. Are you sure your not a witch or something?" He asked as he still stared at me.

"Uh positive...Well positive as someone can be who just found about the existence of you guys along my sister that is." I told him as he stare a few moments as he frown slightly.

"I see." He just said before he stepped back then gestured to the mess we still needed to clean, "I believe you were about to instruct me on a modern day manual labor?" He asked.

I blinked at him, heart still racing over whatever it was I had felt with Raph, 'Was that magic? I didn't know, and it seemed neither did he. Weird. Very weird.' I thought to myself before a shook my head as I look up at him.

"Ah yes. Cleaning. Since there are two of us, we can split up the cleaning of which takes who and placing it away. There is a trash luckily next to the desk for the pizza boxes and the soda bottles." I told him he nodded at me.

"Understood. And which would you prefer?" He asked waiting for my answers.

"I'll place the things away while you pick up the trash. Since I don't want you going into our rooms and misplacing them. It's easier that way." I told him. 

He nodded, and we got on surprisingly well as we whipped through the trash and placing the items away. It seemed, although he was certainly cocky on the outside, Raphael was capable of being polite. Maybe he was used to having maintain the image of a might warrior. Like how I had to be tough in school when things got ruff for me and I didn't want anybody to hurt me or Vee. It was something we could work on. Not long the whole living room was spotless and clean just the way me and Vee liked it and had it the night before.

"There. The task is completed. I have learned the wonders of this room. You have used the might of the magnificent Djinni of war to clean your living room I believe you call it. Truly marvelous." He said with a bit of sarcasm. This made me chuckle, good to know that sarcasm was around thousands of years ago. I was about to reply with something pity, when I was distracted by the clock on our wall just above the kitchen door. Making my eyes widen in complete shock.

"EEK!!! Vee it's past noon! We need to post on our blogs, ASAP!" I yelled out to Vee who I knew was still in the kitchen Raph who had somehow heard this gave a confuse look.

"What is a blog pole and why do you need to erect it?" He asked confused just before Vee yelled out from the kitchen .

"Oh Crab cakes! We lost track of time! I can't believe it! We can do it right now, I'm coming!" I heard her yell ignoring Raph's question as I rush over to the desk where Vee would join me.
