*Leo's POV*
I about screamed at the sight in front of me. April was trying her best to defend herself from Kitanna's blows. She was getting pretty good...
I shook my head. I had to stop Kitanna before she hurt April.
I waited for her to get open, away from April. I sought my opportunity and leaped into action. Literally. I ran and tackled Kitanna.
She squealed as she fell to the floor, trying to squirm out of my grasp. I punched her in the gut, trying to stall her, but she wouldn't stop.
"L-Leonardo! What are you-?" Kitanna stuttered through my blows.
"Leo! Stop! She was just..." April started, but I cut in.
"Trying to hurt you! I told you guys she would commit treason!" I yelped.
"No, she was helping me with a move I couldn't get down!" She replied.
I looked down at the beaten Kitanna. She didn't fight back. At all.
"P-please... move your foot. I cannot... breath," Kitanna gasped.
I grudgingly lifted my foot up off her stomach. She picked herself up, cautiously glancing at me. I just growled and sat on the couch.
I watched as Raph helped Kitanna do who knows what, Donnie question and make goo-goo eyes at April, and Mikey...
Where was Mikey?
----------------------------------------------
*Mikey's POV*
"Master Splinter?" I asked.
"Yes, Michelangelo?" He replied.
"I was wondering..." I trailed off until he looked at me. "D-Do you believe that, maybe... Kitanna is the baby in that picture?"
Master Splinter's eyes widened. Then he laughed. "You could always see right through a stone wall," he stated cheerfully as he could. Then he sighed. "Yes, Michelangelo. I do believe Kitanna may be my Yukiko. It seems like something the Shredder would do, take my daughter from Tang Shen and I and call her his own."
My eyes widened. So Kitanna was possibly Master Splinter's second daughter! But... how? "What signs did you see? You know, that led you to think Kitanna is Yukiko?" I asked.
"Well...her birthmark is very similar to the one in the picture," Master Splinter handed me the photo. I squinted to see a tiny Japanese symbol on the girl's arm. "The cloak she wears is the exact one in the photo. It was from her mother."
I looked again and realized the cape had the same imprinted symbol as the one Kitanna had.
"Not to mention she has my spirit and the story she remembers from the past is almost the exact story that happened, minus Tang Shen and I being in it," he said, hope and worry both mixed into his voice. Then he sighed. "I feel like I am believing in false hope."
I handed him the picture. "Sensei, all these clues seem to be true! How could you still not believe this could be your daughter?"
"Michelangelo, how can I be certain this is my kin? I would need a test to make sure..." he trailed off.
"Like the test you just gave her?"
His eyes widened in shock. "H-how...? How did you know?" He asked, surprised.
"It wasn't that hard, Sensei. Your clues, your prediction... And I have seen your secret move..." I mumbled.
"What?!" He hollered.
"Uh... forget that last part. Anyway, I know how kids get the secret moves from their family, so I say ask her if she remembers your name!" I suggested.
"Hmm..." he said as deep thought enveloped him. "Maybe you are right, my son, but I do not want to seem harsh with asking. I will wait for the time to come. Thank you for this, Michelangelo. I needed a little push."
I bowed and left the room. Now I had to find clues about this for Sensei. And what better place then a certain cat-like girls living quarters?
-------------------------------------------
*Donnie's POV*
"April! Are you hurt?! Why were you doing that?!" I frantically asked.
April sighed, obviously annoyed. "Donnie, for the hundredth time, I'm fine, and Kitanna was just showing me how to perfect the move Master Splinter assigned to me!"
I had to calm down. "Don't scare me... us like that!" I breathed.
She rolled her eyes in response. "Donnie, I can handle myself, you know. And why do you guys think Kitanna would try to do something like that?"
"Well... she is Shredder's daughter..." I trailed off.
"And that proves what?" April asked again.
She had me there. I went to say something, but I couldn't form the words.
Luckily Mikey came in, catching everyone's attention. Master Splinter came in after him, both if their eyes widened in surprise.
"What is going on in here?!" Master Splinter asked loudly.
"Kitanna was...!" Leo began.
"Helping me with a move you assigned to me, Master Splinter," April cut in.
"Hmm... I see. Have you learned this technique better now that a more experienced Kunoichi is here to help?" Sensei questioned.
April glanced at Kitanna, who was talking to Raph. Kitanna grabbed April's glance and smiled, showing her feline teeth perfectly.
"Yes, Sensei. I do feel like I can relate better to a female ninja then boy ninjas," she replied.
Sensei nodded and waved April into the dojo to practice.
What was happening?
