Karai mulled over the information she managed to gather about Masanori.

Masanori had every intentions of marrying her in the past because he was hoping that with the Oroku fortune he could keep his family business afloat long enough until he could secure new contracts. Unfortunately that engagement was broken, which led him to borrow huge sums of money from none other than the yakuza, or the Japanese mob. Masanori used that money to save his company, but it still barely hung on in the fast-paced Tokyo business world and he wasn’t making enough profits to pay back the enormous loan he owed the mob. Not even his hurried marriage to another rich woman helped lighten the load, but then it also didn’t help that he continued to live his life opulently, spending money he barely had. Now it appeared that the yakuza were getting impatient and demanded their money now, else the consequences would be dire. Clearly Masanori was determine to live and started to find some way to get money quick.

Unfortunately he found a reason with Karai.

He gave her the end of the week to get the money together; else he’d release that photo of her with Leonardo. He let her know that he had more than one copy so breaking into his hotel or his computer would be useless. He also now had the annoying habit of leaving her messages or calling her, relishing the fact that he had this to lord over her with. To add to this discomfort, she had something else weighing on her mind and that was Leonardo.

While she told him to stay out of it, he refused. He insisted it was *their* problem not just hers and he wanted to help. Karai had to admit that at any other time she would’ve gladly let him help her. He was a strong leader with years of skills and patience that could prove useful, but at this time she could not have him near for his own safety and for her comfort. First and foremost, she wanted him safe and secondly she wanted him not to see what she was planning to do.

“Okay….so what are you going to do?” asked Donnie once his brother finished his story.

Leo shrugged and pressed his palms on his bent knees. “I don’t know. All I know is I got to do something. Its driving me crazy being inactive!”

“You don’t know what that guy might be capable of. Did Karai tell you anything about him?”

“Only that he was in the space technology business. Clearly it’s on the rocks if he needs that much money.” Leo muses.

“Could also be a jealousy thing too. Ever considered that?”

He frowned. “You mean that he takes offense to the idea that she wouldn’t touch him but is with me?”

Don wagged a screwdriver at him. “Why not? People have gotten pissed off at others for worse.”

As Leo thought on that, he secretly felt relieved for Donatello’s calm presence and patient ear. It was to his purple bandana brother that he spoke to the most about his marriage. His family had their own way of handling his relationship with Karai. Splinter was indifferent about it so long as he was unharmed. Mickey just thought it was gross, gross, gross and tried not to think about it. Raph *still* hated her guts and wanted to expose her internal organs to daylight. He refused to acknowledge her as a Hamato and had been swearing since the marriage was arranged that she would try to kill Leo. So far it hasn’t happened, but Raphael still insisted on it and refused to back down. April thought it was none of her business and Casey in his usual lack of subtleness wondered how it was they “made whoopee.” This left Donnie, who instead of taking the ignorant approach as the rest of their family, decided to listen to Leo as he stumbled through the series of ups and downs that was marriage. He found it all terribly fascinating really. After all, how many times will a mutant turtle get involved with a human female? Of course Leo was a bit private and didn’t tell him everything and its all for the best since Don didn’t think he wanted to imagine his brave, stoic older brother doing *things*.

“I’ve got to do something.” Leo finally said and stood up. “I’m going to follow her.”

“Leo, and I can’t believe the words are coming out of my mouth,” Don says as his brother begins to head out. “I think Karai is right. It might be dangerous for you to get involved.”

Usually he would heed his wise brother’s words, but today…

“Masanori is threatening my wife and our life. It may sound crazy, but I like that life and I don’t want to lose it.” He sighed heavily. “I love her, Don.”

Donatello’s brows shot up; surprised his brother would confess something so private. “Love her enough to do what, Leo?” He asked hesitantly.

Leo looked away for a moment, his thoughts turned inward. “Kill…..I’d kill.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was that last thought that lingered in Leo’s mind as he waited outside the lavish hotel that Masanori was currently haunting. Rain started to come down and he was starting to feel a little cold. Nevertheless he didn’t take his eye off the prize who was currently preparing himself for bed.

Even though he confessed what he would do for love he was still rather surprised that he managed to come here and prepare himself to go forward with it. It’s not that he hadn’t killed before, but this felt different and he wasn’t sure why.

Masanori had bodyguards. Two who switched places every three hours from inside the hotel to outside the door. If he timed it right he could easily knock out the one inside without signaling the other guard nor Masanori. Once that was done he could easily go in and dispatch the slimy bastard. Deep inside however, in a place that could only be called his dark side, he longed to wake him so he could see who it was he decided to mess with. Usually he’d shut that part of himself tight, but he couldn’t right now. That man was threatening his wife, his life and his small, simple, normal yet unbelievable *happiness* for the sake of money!

Refueled by his determination he deftly made his way to the hotel roof. Luckily this hotel had a wonderful ornate design, allowing for many perches for him to work his way down getting to Masanori’s room. All he had to do was get down there and-

“What are you doing???”

Leo quickly whirled around and was floored by the sight of Karai wearing a trench coat standing not too far from him. Feeling like a child being caught red handed he rose up and awkwardly blurted out, “What are *you* doing here?”

Karai frowned sharply. “I asked you first. I told you not to get involved Leonardo. You cannot be seen!”

“I wasn’t going to be seen.” He retorted, returning her frown. “I was going to go down there and-”

“-kill him?” Her brows rose subtly, which was as good as a shocked expression. “Truly?”
A blush was eager to rise up to his cheeks and he managed not to fidget before her inquisitive gaze. “I don’t want to lose what we have.” He said simply.

Karai, despite having lived with him for so long, was shocked by his reply. She had seen him fight for his family, but never did it ever occur to her that he might actually kill for her. She felt her heart flip, but schooled her features. “I-.”

“- Can’t believe it. I really wish you did because I do love. Really.” He began to argue, tired of having to assure her of it.

“Leonardo, hush.” Karai instantly approached him and closed his mouth with two fingers. “That’s not what I was planning to say. I know you love me and I’m…thankful.”
Leo arched a brow and moved her fingers from his mouth and held them in his gentle grip. “Just thankful?” He replied.

‘He never made anything easy.’ She thought to herself. “Very well, more than thankful….You are a….comfort and, and in truth you provoke a great warmth in me.”
“Like love?” He insisted, growing anxious and excited.

“Like….” The word stuck at her throat and she cleared it roughly as she reminded herself, ‘This was not the time!’ “You must go Leonardo. Please.”

Leo’s excitement ebbed sharply at her command, hoping that maybe she would finally reciprocate, but Karai rarely said the “P” word and it could only indicate how desperate she was to get him away from the situation. He let out a heavy breath and straightened. He’ll trust her and go, but he promised himself that their little conversation is not over.

“Okay but-”

He heard it a split second after she did and suddenly found himself shoved aside before the violent sound of the gun rang out. Karai let out a sharp gasp and clutched shoulder. Leo watched with horror as blood spilled between her fingers.
“Karai!” Instantly he turned to face their enemy and found himself staring down the barrel of a gun held by none other than Masanori.

“What the hell are you?” He snarled and before he could decide to see if this creature before him bled red a shuriken came from nowhere and knocked the gun from his grip, cutting his hand in the process.

Leo instantly took the opening. He grabbed Masanori by the hair, drew his sword and rested the glistening blade across the Japanese man’s throat. He turned his gaze towards the bodyguards who had come with him.

“I wouldn’t if I were you.” The turtle threatened coldly, inside however he was desperate. He needed to get Karai out of her and get her help. If something happened to her, if the blood didn’t stop… “Karai. Say something please.” He said softly with a racing heart.

Masanori’s own heart was in his throat and he was too scared to even swallow, the blade was so close. He stared at the guards hard daring them to fire. They, however were too stunned by what they were seeing and remained tense, uncertain.
“Enough with this foolishness.”

Karai finally spoke as she regained control over herself. The pain was immense and she knew she had to get it seen now, but she was determined to finish this.
Relief filled Leo’s system. “Are you alright??”

She glanced at him signaling for silence. Despite her bleeding and her sweating features, she appeared in control. “Fine enough to finish this.” She moved around to face Masanori. The gunmen instantly stiffened and she eyed them sharply. “He’ll be dead before you even fire one bullet.” She threatened. Leo kept an eye on them as they wavered and then reluctantly lowered their weapons again.

Trusting in Leo to watch her back, she addressed her ex-fiancé. “You always were an impulsive idiot.” She scolded him coldly. “I could have your head for this.”

Masanori, despite his quivering managed to sneer back. “Talk any longer and you’ll bleed out before I do.”

The wound throbbed and keened, but Karai refused to let the pain show. “Behave or I won’t give you this.” She reached into her pocket and pulled out a check now slightly stained with blood.

Instantly Masanori’s eyes grew wide and glistened with greed. Thoughtlessly he moved forward and gasped when Leo’s blade nicked his flabby throat. Blood seeped out instantly and Leo tightened his grip on his hair.

Karai smirked at his clumsiness. “You want this? Give me what *I* want.”

“It’s in my left coat pocket.” He blurted out than mentally cursed himself. He should’ve taken the money first before giving that information away.

The gleam in her eye made it apparent that she thought the same. “And you call yourself a man.” She hissed at him as she plucked the USB port from his pocket and slipped the check in its place.

Insulted, Masanori ached to wipe the smile off her face.“I am more a man than this….freak you lay with!” He spat out cruelly.

Karai saw Leo’s anger and replied out heatedly, “Oh he is more man than you and he will always have me.” She looks him over with disdain. “And you never will.”

“Karai.” Leo said softly, eyeing her wound as the blood drenched her coat further.
Ready to rip the smile off her face, Masanori was ready to bellow in rage when suddenly the world blackened. Leo quickly grabbed the sagging man and the minute Karai move behind him he tossed the Japanese man at the bodyguards. As the men rushed forward to grab him, Leo quickly used some smoke pellets, grabbed his wife and disappeared.
