Author's notes- I don't own the boys, only the girls.

Well, this is the last chapter, set in a third person narrative. I never thought I would actually ever get this far in the Karma series. I'm just glad you like her and I hope you like her sisters too (eventually). Enjoy :)

C'est La Vie.

As the third youngest girl came sauntering back into the Lair, she was pounced on by her two older sisters, demanding to know where she'd been. She switched off at the nagging, her eyes glazing over in thought when Raphael came into her eye line. Nudging through her still talking sisters, she made her way towards her partner, who was standing stern and holding something out for her.

"Next time, take yer cell, yeah? I don't need yer sister's goin' crazy at me 'cause of somethin' you did."

She smiled, taking the green cell phone away from him and nodded.

"Sorry shugosha."

"Ya better be."

He turned away from her, still a little confused and apprehensive about how she'd been the past few days when she called his name. He turned back and was greeted by a big kiss. As she pulled back, he blinked and then he picked her up in his arms, kissing her again.

Meiyo and Kibou exchanged bewildered glances and Leonardo came in from the dojo, smiling as he saw his happy brother. Meiyo turned back to him, frowning, and made a wild gesture to the scene behind her. He only chuckled to himself and cleared his throat, causing Raphael to look over to his brother.

"Haven't you got a room to do that in?"

He grinned wildly, not noticing the look on the girls' faces. The red-banded turtle put down his girlfriend, kissing her once more and straightened.

"C'mon wise guy, Case said he'd be here soon, we gotta get all this junk up ta the garage."

The two brothers wandered off, leaving the three sisters behind.

"Innen…"

"What the hell was that?"

Meiyo flinched at Kibou's less tactful approached, putting a hand on the fiery turtle's shoulder.

"What she meant is… are you and…"

"Raph. You're gonna have to remember their names yanno."

"Right. Are you and Raphael…?"

"Just smooching or are you dating too?"

"Kibou!"

"I just want to know if my little sister's been flinging herself at every one of these guys."

Karma rolled her eyes, reminding herself not only would she have to put up with a nagging Leonardo and a worrying Donatello now, but her two older sisters too. Luckily, a distraction in the form of Michelangelo came bounding down the stairs, a timid Shinrai following him.

"And this, is the pièce de résistance, after my room of course, the room with all the TVs you could ever want!"

"Mikey, does Rai look pale because she's had the, ahem, pleasure, of being shown your room by any chance?"

Shinrai giggled at her sister and came over to join her.

"Your home is really nice, Innen."

"Thanks sis." She grinned. "Sorry we won't be staying here for too long."

Meiyo went to speak; she had so much to say, but bit her tongue instead. She hated this place. Her sister seemed more proud to be seen as American than Japanese, she shortened everybody's names to nicknames and her accent was heavy, not to mention the four male turtles she lived with. The oldest of the girl turtles hated change, this one was looking at her to speak expectantly, but she merely swallowed her pride and smiled the best that she could.

"Maybe I could show you around, Mei? I know that we won't be staying here but I want you to like it for when we get back."

'I don't see what I could possibly like.' She thought to herself then replied, "Okay. Lead the way."

Karma smiled slyly at Michelangelo and he knew what she was up to. His sister had already confided in him, knowing how much Meiyo disproved of their home, but there was one place, she knew she'd like. The golden-eyed girl eyed up the traditional Japanese door, curious yet cautious.

"You're free to go on in, anytime."

Karma opened the door for her sister and watched her face light up. The Japanese scrolls on the walls, the waft of incense and candles hitting her and the absolutely beautiful tea set that was laid out amazed her.

"This is Master Splinter's room, but Leo spends as much time in here as he does."

"That scroll…" Meiyo breathed. "That's amazing."

"Oh, that one?" Karma pointed to the delicate one which had a prize place above Master Splinter's bed, "Leo did that, it's the story of Tang Shen and Master Yoshi."

"Leonardo? The one with the swords?"

"Katana," Said turtle came up behind her, arms full, "Not swords. Sorry, I heard my name."

Karma watched as her stern sister softened and blushed a little at his presence whilst Leonardo had that little coy smile on his face and he also looked a little proud. Carefully, the kunoichi crept away, leaving the two to talk about all things Japanese.

Meanwhile, Kibou had taken a seat on the sofa, waiting impatiently for whatever she was supposed to be waiting for. Her sisters had left her waiting around by herself, so she had taken a seat on the sofa, a book catching her eye. She picked it up from the coffee table and smiled, fondly remember reading it herself.

"Where is it? Where did I put it?"

The purple-banded turtle had come out from his laboratory, a few other books carefully being juggled under his arm whilst his other hand clutched at his head. Kibou couldn't help but laugh at how confused he looked and offered the object in her hands out to him.

"Looking for The Two Towers by any chance? You know The Fellowship and The King's Return won't make sense without it."

Donatello stopped then blushed deeply; he hated how his nerdy side always came out at the worst of times, especially in front of beautiful women.

"T-thanks," he stammered, "I guess it wouldn't."

"You'd be thinking, who the hell is Eowyn?, and whilst she's not so smart, she'd definitely better than Arwen, who goes around just being pretty-"

The green-eyed turtle stopped at the look on his face; he was bewildered yet impressed all at once. She shifted, finding herself at little uneased.

"What?"

"You've read The Lord Of The Rings?"

"Of course, it's only one of the most brilliant masterpieces ever written."

She was stopped by his expression once again; this time his baffled expression was replaced by a small grin.

"What?"

"Nothing." The genius shook his head. "Just glad to have intelligent conversation for once."

Unluckily for Donatello, Karma was walking into the room as he said it. She stopped, delivered him a death glare and sulked off upstairs, muttering something unpleasant in Japanese. Kibou laughed and gave the male turtle the book.

"I don't think you should upset the Imagawa clan."

He found himself watching her walk off, mesmerised by the swing in her hips, his head naturally tilting as he watched. Raphael then came in muttering to himself Kibou's smile surprising him as he walked past as well as the way his brother was looking at her. He snorted loudly, causing Donatello to stir, frown then blush deeply. He quickly hurried off, leaving a laughing Raphael behind him.

On the second floor, Karma was standing, watching over her family along with a green-eyed, black cat sat tranquilly at her feet. The female turtle was smiling to herself. She knew that this family was nowhere near perfect or harmonic but she wouldn't want to be any place else. Only her late brother and mother crossed her mind for a moment, and a chill swept over her shoulders. She shuddered and glanced up to the ceiling, hoping that Ai and her mother were proud of her, and even though she was sad they couldn't be standing with her, she knew that things were this way for a reason.
