Please read and review!!!!

“Chiaki?” Yun questioned again from the door “Can it really be you” He continued stepping forward cautiously, Karai ventured a small glance over her shoulder and Yun smiled “Ah of course it is, you have grown so like your mother” He said still smiling at her.

The last word had stopped Karai dead in her tracks, Leo knew from previous talks with her that she could remember very little about her life before Saki had taken her in, nothing of her childhood and nothing of her parents.

“My name is Karai” She said in an unreadable tone “You have me confused” She finished not turning around to face him. Leo could feel the confusion and tension in the room increase, he looked to Miharu and was shocked to see a hurt and fearful look on her face.

“I could not confuse you and I assure you your name is Chiaki” He replied. “I know you even if you do not know yourself”.

“Master” Miharu said suddenly finding her voice “She cannot be…”

“Ah but she is, I know she is…. A father does not often mistake his daughter”

Daughter?! Karai is Yun’s daughter? This was just too weird he thought as he watched Karai slowly turn and measure the small man with her eyes.

“My father abandoned me” she said carefully weighting her tone “I would not be so quick to claim that title”. By her tone Karai obviously thought Yun was an old fool who would back down to that comment, but he did not.

“Abandoned?” He said looking harshly at her “Is that what he has told you? You know nothing, so I will educate you” He said his tone speaking of barely controlled anger.

*** Flashback***

Yun sat in the temple at the window over looking the gardens. He watched as a elegant dark haired women strolled about the overgrown path twirling a flower in her hand, a sweet cherry blossom tucked behind an ear.

She was stunning, more than enough to drive a man from his focus. She had driven him from his focus as a boy so much so he had had to have her.

“Kumiko” he said softly smiling to himself the name suited her so well. His smile broadened as he watched his bride scoop to retrieve a small child from the grass.

*** End***

“And so I had a daughter and I named her Chiaki to please her mother, and all was well for several years”

***Flashback***

The temple burned around him walls crumbling the screams of women and children ringing in his ears as he battled his way back toward where he had left his wife an daughter.

“Kumiko” He called into the smoke filled hall “Chiaki, where are you” But no one answered. He pushed at the door and found it blocked, glancing down to see what blocked it he felt his stomach turn. There on the floor lie his perfect blossom her hair spread around her as she lie face down in a pool of her own blood.

“Daifu” A frightened voice called out to him “Chiaki!” He called back screening the smoky room with his eyes. And then he say her clutched in arms of a hulking figure screaming and crying out for him, the figure chuckled slightly green eyes glowing and dancing eerily in the fire light before vanishing in a quick leap out the window.

“Chiaki” He called after her stumbling through the room to the window. He leapt out onto the ledge but she was gone. He watched for a moment as the mystic invaders vanished one by one leaving thieves and ninja in there wake.

“Daifu” A frightened voice called out from bellow “Chiaki” He called leaping down to the ground bellow and sprinting toward the voice, but it was not Chiaki he found.

There in the ruins a small girl lashed out at a black ninja bearing a three pronged red symbol on his brow. The child held her fathers swords which were almost as long as she was tall, the blades swung wildly as she attempted to save her self.

He stood shocked for a moment before noticing the body of a man lying bleeding behind the child. He quickly snapped from his revere and aided the child easily dispatching her enemy.

“Daifu” She said sobbing dropping the katana and falling to her knees next to the wounded man. She shook him but he did not stir, Yun watched for a moment as the child tried to wake her dead father before scooping her and the swords up from the ground and making a hasty retreat.

***End***

“I do not know how you escaped them or how Saki came to find you but I do know you are her” He finished.

Leo glanced across to Miharu she met his eyes briefly before looking away, and he knew who the child with her father’s swords was. Her earlier expression now made sense as well Yun had saved her and raised her like a daughter and now his real daughter stood across the room from him, a daughter she had just a few days ago abandoned to die.

“You lie” Karai said fiercely her eyes filling with tears “ You lie” And with that she turned and sped from the room.

“Master” Miharu began rising from her seat.

“Not now” He dismissed her with a wave of his hand not bothering to look at her as he slowly made his way after Karai. With that she too sped from the room but not into the lair, Leo stood confused from a moment before speeding off after Miharu into the cold damp night.

He chased her for what seemed like forever, she had quickly taken to the rooftops and now all he could see of her was an occasional glimpse and they sped over the silent skyline.

“Miha” He called after her but she ignored him “Miha wait”. Just as thought he couldn’t take another step a still figure to his right caught his attention.

It seemed she had also gotten tired of running and was now hunched in corner of a rooftop. He face was lowered into her knees and her hair fell about her limply as a slight drizzle fell.

He approached her slowly kneeling down to her level and carefully reaching out to brush a few strands back out of her face. Her shoulders shook ever so slightly , if he hadn’t know better he wouldn’t have believed this was the same old powerful warrior who had until just yesterday infuriated him in way Raph could only dream about.

“Miha” He said softly reaching around the gently stroke the back of her neck. She shuddered a little before leaning forward and wrapping her arms around him, he quickly took the opportunity to pull her to him. She buried her face in his shoulder and allowed him to soothe away all the pain she felt at the dredging up of old wounds.

It seemed like hours passed , the drizzle had become a full scale rain water poured over him running down his face in small rivers. He didn’t move. He simple sat and excepted the cold, he had long since closed his eyes and allowed his mind to drift off as he held her but to his surprise he couldn’t feel the dark.

Finally she pulled back looking up at him a warm expression filling her features as she took in the sight of him kneeling above her blocking out the city lights cold rivers of water running over his face and down across his shoulders.

She reached out and touched his cheek, he closed his eyes relaxing into the warmth of her palm. He sighed as he felt her warm breath on lips, she kissed him gently before whispering.

“You are cold” He smiled against her lips.

“I don’t mind” He whispered back.

She returned his smile pulling back a little and searching his face, he wasn’t sure what she was looking for but she must have found it because after a moment she caressed his cheek again and the rose to the feet.

“Come Leonardo” She said reaching for his hand “Let us go back, I wish to warm up” She said lightly as he rose catching her out stretched hand and lacing there fingers together.

They walked back over the rooftops in silence letting the cold rain wash over them.

“Miha?” He asked as the entered the swollen sewers.

“Miha?” She mimicked her voice twinkling with amusement “That is not my name” She teased.

“Well I ... uh…. Well you see I just thought that …. Uh “ He stammered out before noticing she was laughing at him. He shot her a mock angry look.

“I like it “ She said softly starting to walk again.

“Will Master Yun be angry?” He asked hoping the question would not up set her.

“With me for leaving?” She asked “ No I doubt my Master has noticed I am gone”

He tried not to let the sadness in her voice consume him “ No” He said “ I meant about me”

They walked on in silence for a few minutes before she answered.

“I do not know Leonardo, but it would be best if I told him” She said softly as they approached the lair door. “In the morning” She added as an after thought before leaning up to place a passionate and promising kiss on his lips.

He returned the kiss letting its heat wash over him before he abruptly found himself alone. Looking up he just barely caught sight of Miharu as she pasted through the kitchen, catching his expression she gave him a playful wink before vanishing.

He leaned back against the cold sewer wall trying to push down the flush in face before entering. With a sigh he pushed off the wall and followed Miharu into the lair closing the door behind him.
