Flirting with the Enemy
Chapter I: It Starts

Disclaimer: I don't own the TMNT; I just write fanfics about them. Katina, Hana, Kira, Tashina, Kimmico, Zenobia and any other character I create are of my own.
This is a revision of the original Flirting with the Enemy. I never completed it, so I'm starting it over.
Venus is a part of this story as well as the Dragon Lord and Rank. I actually liked TMNT: the Next Mutation. In this Venus is Raphael's girlfriend. They hooked up in my first fanfic Summer in China. Basically, Leonardo sought after Venus, but she went for Raphael instead.
Mondo Gecko is in this too. I love his character and he's Mikey's best bud. He will play a key part in this, but later in the story.
Tashina is Dragon Lord's younger sister and is a prophetess. Katina, Hana, and Kira are Dragon Lord's daughters. Katina is the master of the prism. All these are my original characters. Hana has a thing for Mondo Gecko.
Kimmico is Michaelangelo's girlfriend. She's a turtle like Venus. Zenobia is Donatello's online girlfriend. She's human. Both Kimmico and Zenobia won't be a big part of this fanfic, but if anyone wants to read about them you can read my stories Kimmico and Rev It Up.

"Come on Raph, you have to move faster than that." Leonardo said blocking a kick from his brother.
"Well, maybe it's your lips flapping that's distracting me." Raphael replied.
Leonardo rolled out of the way as his brother's foot came slamming down. "I don't think it's that. I think it's something else." He said seeing Venus watching in the corner.
"Oh yeah." Raphael spin kicked wiping Leonardo's feet from under him.
Leonardo slammed to the ground and looked up to his brother holding the sai against his neck. He couldn't be angry at him for the move, but he couldn't show his pride.
"Very good Raphael."
Leonardo stood up hearing Splinter praise his younger brother.
Splinter patted Raphael on the shoulder. "You must not let you anger cloud your mind, my son. When you let go, you are unstoppable. I'm proud of your improvement."
Leonardo watched Raphael bow to Splinter and run off to Venus. His heart ached as his brother kissed her.
"Leonardo."
Leonardo snapped from his daze. "Yes Sensei."
"Tell Donatello and Michaelangelo it is time for their sparring lesson." Splinter ordered.
Leonardo bowed. "Yes Sensei." He said and walked off into the den. "Mikey. Don. Splinter wants you two in for practice."
"Ah man." Michaelangelo whined. "Me and Kimmi were going to watch Robin Hood: Men in Tights."
"Haven't you watched that enough times?" Leonardo replied.
"No." Michaelangelo replied. "I haven't watched it this week."
"Well Splinter wants you in the Practice Room." Leonardo answered. "Robin Hood is going to have to wait."
Michaelangelo kissed Kimmico on the cheek causing her to giggle. Then, he strut off to the Practice Room.
Leonardo sighed and went to check on Donatello playing on his computer once again. "Donny, did you hear me?"
"What?" Donatello asked not looking up from the computer screen.
"Splinter wants you in for practice." Leonardo replied. "NOW."
'I'll be there in a minute." Donatello assured him.
Leonardo rolled his eyes and walked to his room. He stepped inside and looked at it's limited contents. He had a pair of katanas hanging on the wall and a flower pressed lotus blossom from Lotus. He plopped on his bed and lay back staring up at the ceiling.

Dragon Lord tapped his claws on the end of his throne. "My patience is wearing thin. I want the Turtles lair found."
"We have been patrolling the sewers as you have requested." Kurai, the Rank Leader, replied. "So far, there has been no trace of the Turtles lair."
Tashina eyed up her lover (Kurai). "Have you found anything at all?"
Kurai returned a smile no one could see under his uniform. "Yes, we have found the Turtles old occupancy. It was destroyed to say the least and many emblems from the Turtle's former enemy were found."
Dragon Lord dug his nails in his throne unimpressed by the findings.
"We have also been marking down every area we have patrolled." Kurai added getting Dragon Lord's attention. "With each patrol, the area under the sewer left to investigate gets smaller. If we continue this, we sound narrow down a solid location of the lair."
"Good." Dragon Lord replied. "I want…"
"FATHER."
Dragon Lord looked at the young lady bursting into the throne room. Her kimono was red, purple, and gold and her long black hair was pulled up in a ponytail swinging back and forth as she ran over to him.
"What is it Hana?" Dragon Lord demanded an answer from his 16 year old daughter.
"It's Kat." Hana replied. "She's fighting with the tutor again."
Dragon Lord growled under his breath and stormed off with Hana following behind him.

"Leo."
Leonardo jumped from his slumber. "Yeah…what Venus."
"We are all going out to the movies." Venus smiled. "Do you want to come with?"
"Oh." Leonardo sat up and thought about it for a second. "No, I'm good. I think I'm going to get some more practice time in."
"Oh." Venus dropped her smile. "Okay. Don't overwork yourself."
"I'm not." Leonardo replied grabbing his katanas. "And don't worry about me. I'll be fine."
"Okay." Venus answered and walked off.
Leonardo stood there waiting for everyone to leave. They were so loud it was a wonder the people on the streets couldn't hear them leaving.
Once quiet, Leonardo walked out his room. He could actually hear himself think.
"What are you doing here, my son?" Splinter asked as he walked out the kitchen with a cup of tea.
"I'm going to get a practice session in." Leonardo replied.
"Yes." Splinter nodded. "Might I suggest working on your latest kata."
"Yeah." Leonardo nodded. "I'll do that."
"Good." Splinter replied and walked into his room to meditate.
Leonardo sighed and head into the practice room.

Dragon Lord stormed into the study room to find his tutor and daughter fighting.
Katina, his 18 year old daughter with long wavy hair, had a good grip on her tutor's long locks. She was the feisty one of his three and the one most likely to give him gray hair.
"Enough." Dragon Lord grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her apart from her tutor. "I demand an explanation."
"your daughter is uncontrollable, your Majesty." Tai-sung, the tutor replied. "I refuse to teach someone who has no respect."
"Oh please." Kat rolled her eyes. "The only thing you think gets you respect is between your legs."
Dragon Lord turned to Kat with his eyes glowing bright red. She backed down her bold comment and folded her arms.
"You see what I deal with." Tai-sung replied.
"I am well aware." Dragon Lord replied. "Now get back to the lessons." He said and turned to Kat. "You're coming with me."
"Oh joy." Kat replied following her father.
"I'm sick of this Kat." Dragon Lord fussed as they walked down the hallway. "I'm tired of your outbursts and lack of discipline."
"Well I'm tired of learning about the same dead people for the last 10 thousand years." Kat replied. "And I'm tired of being treated like a child."
"Then act like an adult." Dragon Lord answered her.
"Why bother?" Kat asked. "To you, I'm just a little girl."
Dragon Lord turned to her. "And I am your father. Until you can prove to me that you are a mature minded young lady, I will treat you like a little girl."
"That will be the day." Kat rolled her eyes.
Dragon Lord couldn't take much more of her mouth. Every time he open his, she had to open hers. He was tired of the back talk.
Kat held her cheek as it stung. She stared at him teary eyed. He had never hit her before.
"Go to your room." Dragon Lord ordered keeping away from seeing her cry. "NOW."
Kat ran off to her room and threw herself on her bed.
Dragon Lord sighed and pinched his brow. He could feel the headache coming already.

Leonardo lay across the floor of the practice room breathing heavily. He shouldn't have worked himself so hard. He could barely move.
He closed his eyes relaxing and enjoying the peace that came along with it.
He needed more relaxing days like this.
He needed more time to himself.
There were times he wished he was an only child.
"we're home."
Leonardo sat up. "So much for peace and quiet.
And there were times, he knew he's better enjoy the moment while he could.

"I just don't know what I'm going to do with her Tashina." Dragon Lord said to his sister as he paced around the throne room. "She's driving me insane."
"She's just rebelling." Tashina replied. "And you have little patience for teenagers."
"I don't need this right now." Dragon Lord answered.
"Then let someone else deal with her." Tashina suggested. "She's not a kid anymore."
"What are you talking about?" Dragon Lord paused in his step.
"She's eighteen and well above marrying age for a princess." Tashina reminded him. "Let a husband deal with her."
"Kat…marry." Dragon Lord wanted to laugh. "My luck her husband might kill himself with putting up with her."
"You don't give her much credit."
"I'm not sure I like this idea."
"Look, I understand you don't want any man touching your daughters, but it's time to let go." Tashina replied. "Besides, you gripe about having no male heirs to your throne. If Katina were to have a son, you would have your heir."
"I'm listening." Dragon Lord said sitting down on the throne.
"Arrange the marriage to a man you approve." Tashina suggested. "You know. Pick your own son-in-law."
Dragon Lord sat up proudly. "You know, this idea of yours is starting to spark my interest."

Leonardo read through the pages of the Da Vinci Code. April told him it would be something he would enjoy. It was just weird to read something with his namesake in it.
He lowered his book hearing the loud mouth Mondo Gecko enter the lair. It was bad enough he had to hear Michaelangelo all the time, but his friend was almost too much to ask for.
Still, in all he had to laugh. Mondo wasn't going to bother him. He was after Donatello picking on the shyer turtle talking to his friend on the internet. That was a relief in itself.
He picked back up his book and began reading again. It was enough to drown out the noise for now.

"I can't believe Father hit you." Hana said trying to calm her crying sister. "He's never hit any of us before. You must have really made him mad."
Kat sniffled. "He doesn't care about us."
"Yeah he does." Hana defended him. "He just has a weird way of showing it. You know Father hasn't been the affectionate type."
"Yeah right."
"He means well Kat." Hana replied. "He was just upset."
Kat sniffled. "I wish Mother was here."
Dragon Lord stood in the doorway listening to everything they said. He stepped inside with his boots clunking on the floor. "Kat."
Katina sat up wiping the tears from her eyes. "What?"
"We need to have a talk." Dragon Lord said. "Hana leave me and your sister alone for a few minutes."
"Okay." Hana said cheerfully. She kissed him on the check and bounced off.
Katina turned her glance away from him avoiding meeting his eyes. "You are going to yell at me again, aren't you?"
"No." Dragon Lord replied. "Only if you sass me."
Kat rolled her eyes. 'Like I said, you are going to yell at me."
"You don't give me much credit Kat." Dragon Lord replied. "It hasn't been easy raising you, Hana, or Kira."
"What's the matter?" Kat asked. "Not use to doing it yourself."
"I try to do what I think is best for you and your sisters."
"Since when do you care?" Kat demanded. "You've always been too busy trying to rule the world."
"I have a duty to my people, Kat." Dragon Lord replied. "I have to ensure our survival."
"I know."
"I want you to be happy Kat." Dragon Lord said to her. "But you need to start acting more like a lady."
"I do." Kat answered.
"I know and it's about time I start treating you like one." Dragon Lord said watching her eyes widen. "You are 18 now and its about time you marry."
"Marry."
"Yes marry." Dragon Lord explained. "I am going to arrange for you to marry."
Kat shook her head. "And don't I get a say in all this?"
"Of course." Dragon Lord assured her. "I promise final decisions will be yours. You don't have to marry because you can."
"Sounds fair." Kat folded her arms and pouted.
Dragon Lord smiled briefly and stood up. "I'll make arrangements with some young men this week." He said and walked out the room.
Kat sighed. "Yeah Father. Sounds great."

Okay. That's the end of the first chapter for this. I know it might be a little confusing so I'll clear a few things up.
Dragon Lord's daughters are Katina (18), Hana (16), and Kira (5). He has a son Bitoku (21), but I consider him the "Good Dragon". In the TMNT: NM series, there was a dragon that went against Dragon Lord by saving Venus' life. He was a Good Dragon. As part of his punishment, he was imprisoned in the enchanted glass again. In my trilogy fanfic, he escaped and joined Mondo Gecko and the other Mighty Mutanimals.
Hana has a crush on Mondo Gecko. Against her father's will, she listens to Michelangelo's pirate radio show. Mondo Gecko's band is often played on the air waves. In one of my fanfics, Hana snuck out to meet Mondo Gecko when Michelangelo through him a rave to cheer him up. It was love at first sight for both of them. Hana a giggly and bubbly unlike the rest of her family who is stuck up and stubborn.
Kira is Dragon Lord's youngest and favorite daughter. She is his favorite because she is too you to talk back to him. She is a spoiled rotten brat and doesn't get along with her older sisters because of the large age difference.
Dragon Lord had five other sons, but when the Shinobi's stormed his palace they were murdered to end his line. His wife, Dorei was pregnant with his tenth child and killed as well to make sure she didn't have a son. Bitoku was spared because the Shinobis thought he was a Rank warrior because he was serving under Dragon Lord and in a Rank uniform. Katina is the Master of the Prism and used her power to make her, Hana, and Kira invisible. It saved their life, but once Dragon Lord arrived the Shinobi's imprisoned them. Punishment: Eternal Life in the Glass.
Tashina is Dragon Lord's younger sister. She is a powerful prophetess and assisted Dragon Lord in battles with her ability to see the future. She is stubborn and hard headed like her brother and a flirt with the Rank warriors. Her lover is the commander of the Rank army named Kurai. However, she is three months pregnant in this story. Her pregnancy interferes with her ability to see the future because she can't focus on anything but her baby's thoughts.
Dragon Lord's name is Ryu. Tashina is the only one who calls him this, mostly to get on his nerves. He is telekinetic meaning he can move things with his mind. He is skilled at all forms of fighting and well educated in global events. His years of imprisonment in the glass allowed him to study the world and often forces his children to be the same. However, he doesn't like technology like radios and television. Modern science and technology puzzles him because he is a strict shaman.
Katina is a character you will have to learn in the story. After all, she is a main character.
Thanks to everyone who reads and reviews. I hope everyone likes this story. It something I've been wanting to finish for a while now. Feel free to review with any questions and I'll make things clearing if anyone doesn't understand. Or you can read my other TMNT fanfics. They are all connected in a way.
Thanks
Michelle
