Akachan no shimai

Prologue

Hamato Yoshi smiled as his wife walked over to him. Their soon to be two year old daughter, Miwa in her arms. Tang Shen leaned over and planted a kiss.

"Look at them," Yoshi said, pointing to the baby turtles in front of them.

Tang Shen smiled as Miwa giggled and reached for one. Tang Shen picked one up gently and held it in front of her. Miwa stroked it with one tiny finger.

"Are you interested in the turtles? They just hatched last week," a woman said. She had shoulder length blond hair and emerald green eyes.

Yoshi looked at his wife and nodded, "I have one question. What are they? Just boys? Only girls? A combination?"

The woman smiled, "I had my brother look at them, he said the two eldest were boys, and the two youngest are girls."

Yoshi nodded and picked up the bowl containing the baby turtles.

A few minutes later, the Hamato family a was outside, Yoshi held the bowl of turtles, and Tang Shen held Miwa as she smiled and waved at the turtles.

As they passed an alley, Yoshi noticed to men in business suits. Yoshi couldn't exactly hear what they were saying, but the word "Kraang" popped up a bunch of times.

He looked back at Tang Shen and Miwa, both hiding behind a dumpster.

He was about back away and lead them the other way, when a rat scurried across his foot, making him gasp in shock.

The two men looked at him.

Yoshi went into a defensive stance.

The two men charged at him, and he fought them off. All while holding a bowl of baby turtles.

Impressive.

One of the men held a container of glowing green liquid. The type that looks that it came from a lava lamp, but was mixed with glue.*

As they fought, the container flew into the air and crashed down on Yoshi, who dropped the bowl of turtles.

The two men fled, and Tang Shen and Miwa came out of their hiding spot.

Tang Shen looked on as Yoshi held his head in pain.

He screamed, and Tang Shen gasped as she saw him transform. His clothes ripped apart. Fur covered his body. A tail appeared behind him.

Miwa let out a cry.

Yoshi stared at his hands in horror before hearing a wail.

He looked to his left and gasped.

The turtles..two were missing, but...the other two...they were...about the size of infants.

"Yoshi?" Tang Shen walked over slowly, taking in his new appearance.

She avoided the liquid and stared at him.

"Tang Shen," Yoshi picked up the two turtles, "I am sorry..."

"For what?"

"I can not be seen anymore...not like this," he sighed, "please forgive me..."

Tang Shen took his hand, seeing how it was free of the liquid. "What do we do?"

Yoshi shrugged and shifted the turtles.

Miwa looked at the one with grayish blue eyes.

It smiled and waved at her.

Miwa smiled and waved back.

Tang Shen smiled at them as well.

"I...we need to go into hiding." Yoshi finally said.

Tang Shen nodded and looked around. She spotted a manhole.

"The sewers. "

Yoshi nodded and handed her the reddish brown eyed turtle.

He then pulled off the cover of the manhole and walked into it, careful of the baby turtle.

Tang Shen quickly followed, as soon as she reached the near bottom, Yoshi took the other turtle from her.

"What will we name them?" Yoshi asked as they walked around, eventually coming to a train station that had been abandoned years ago."

Tang Shen shrugged, "Are they the boys, the girls, or one and one?"

Yoshi looked at the turtles.

Remembering what the woman had told him, he checked their tails, shells, plastrons and nails.*

Of course, his wife also knew how to tell, but her hands were full. And he didn't like the idea of Miwa touching him while he was a naked rat. It felt wrong..

"Both are male," he said.

Tang Shen looked at them, "Then I know the perfect names."

Yoshi lifted a brow, "Oh?"

Tang Shen nodded and patted the blue eyed boy, "Leonardo."

She patted the brown eyed boy, "Donatello."

Yoshi smiled, "Miwa, Leonardo and Donatello. Our children."

Tang Shen nodded and looked at the three children.

But both she and Yoshi felt bad for the loss of the other turtles.

"Yoshi," Tang Shen said. Yoshi looked at her, "I'm going to get our things, and I'll look for the other turtles. It's possible they may have been hiding."

Yoshi nodded and turned to her, "Be careful my love."

Tang Shen nodded and left.

Yoshi turned to the children and smiled.

His children.

THEIR children.

Oroku Saki frowned.

He had no idea Yoshi and Tang Shen would be in the US.

And he was more shocked to see Tang Shen loved Yoshi, even as a RAT.

He looked around and heard a thud.

He walked over to a few discarded boxes. He lifted one up and glowing, emerald, eyes looked back at him. Baby blue eyes then looked at him.

He moved more boxes and looked at the two infant sized turtles.

Both had tufts of hair. The emerald eyed one had red hair, and the blue eyed one had blond hair.

It was then, he remembered that Yoshi, Tang Shen and their daughter had bought four turtles, or so he assumed, he saw Yoshi holding a bowl of turtles.

He also knew Tang Shen loved turtles. She showed him once how to tell their genders.

He reached for the emerald eyed turtle and it bit him.

He hissed and grabbed it. Checking it over, he noticed two things. One, it was a girl. And two, she had a crack on her plastron.

He reached for the blond and realized two more things. It had freckles, and he had found two, infant, female, turtles.

He smiled slowly and picked them both up.

He also recalled Tang Shen had a love for renaissance artists. "We are going home."

He looked at the two females, struggling to find a name for both.

He shrugged, deciding to just pick two and make them more feminine. He turned to the emerald eyed turtle, "Raphaela."

"And Michelangela." He gestured with his head to the blue eyed turtle.

He set them down, and keeping his eye on them, he called for a ride home.

He waited for ten minutes before his ride came, a young teen named Hun was driving.

He looked at the turtles.

He had plans for them.

BIG plans.

Tang Shen returned to the sewer with several things.

She sighed as she told Yoshi she couldn't find the other turtles.

She and Yoshi could only hope, they were in a good home.

*Apparently, that's how you tell their genders. Of course, you should always have professional help as well.
