Ch 20 A Strange End

Mikey and Karai gasped as they saw Meiyo looming over the Shredder, a bloodied sword in his hand. "Watashi wa mō kare no aku o ou koto ga dekinakatta (I could not bear his evil any longer,)" the man said as he threw his sword to the ground and turned to face the brother and sister. "Shureddā wa watashinokazoku o koroshimashita (Shredder killed my family,)" he continued, the pain clear in his voice. "Watashi ga kinō Takai to Tomo to hanasu no o mimi ni shita toki made watashi wa kore o shirimasendeshita (I did not know this until yesterday when I overheard Takai talking with Tomo and they admitted the truth and how much of a fool I was to have believed Shredder's lies all these years.)"

"Whoa," Mikey whispered, his blue eyes wide. "Suu otoko (Dude that sucks.)"

"Watashi ga shita koto o totemo zan'nen ni omou (I am so sorry for what I have done,)" Meiyo said, falling to his knees at Karai and Mikey's feet. "Dō ka yurushitekudasai (Please accept my apology.)" Karai opened her mouth to respond bu before she could someone interrupted her.

"Omō (I think,)" Splinter said, coming onto the scene, leaning heavily on his walking stick. "Anata ga jūbun ijō ni kurushinda koto. Soshite anata ga shita koto wa watashitachi ni jūbun'na shōko ijō no monodesu (That you have suffered more than enough. And what you have done is more than enough proof to us.)"

"Arigatō Yoshi-san (Thank you Master Yoshi,)" Meiyo said with a bow. "Watashi wa anata no kotoba ni kenkyodesu (I am humbled at you words.)"

"Watashi wa tō o kaisan suru no ga kiraidesuga, wareware wa mada mondai o kakaete imasu (I hate to break up the party but we've still got trouble,)" Karai said, nodding towards Kito who, along with Casey, were still battling it out with Katsu and Tomo. Keno and Hiro had succeeded in taking down Tiger Claw and they, along with the rest of the Elite Guards had tied him up alongside Bradford and Montes.

"Ani o akirameru (Give up brother,)" Kito was saying as he dodged Katsu's blow. "Sore wa owatta. Anata to anata no buka wa ushinatta (It is over. You and your men have lost.)"

"Watashi ga sore ga iu made sore wa owatte inai! (It is not over until I say it is!)" Katsu cried out as he once again swung at Kito. Kito ducked and quickly kicked Katsu's feet out form underneath him, sending him crashing to the ground.

"Shureddā wa shinde iru! (The Shredder is dead!)" Shinari cried out, having come to Kito's aid along with Suko. "Anata wa kono tatakai o keizoku suru riyū wa arimasen Katsu! (You have no reason to continue this battle Katsu!)"

"Karera wa pointoburazā o motte imasu ka (They do have a point brother,)" Tomo whispered to his older brother, who glared at him.

"Watashi wa kōfuku suru node wanaku mushiro shinu koto o nozomimasu! (I would rather die than surrender!)" Katsu snarled.

"Dude you are one stubborn son of a bitch!" Casey declared.

"Ganko-sa wa itsumo watashi no kyōdai no shitsubōdeshita (Stubbornness has always been my brother's downfall,)" Kito said, shaking his head sadly. "Shikashi, watashi wa jibun o korosou to suru kare no kokoromi nimokakawarazu, watashi no ani o korosu koto o kobamimasu. (But I refuse to kill my own brother despite his attempts to kill me.)"

"Sorekara watashi wa anata no futan o keigen suru koto ga dekimasu (Then allow me to ease your burden,)" Katsu said, his voice low and dark. Kito gave his brother a strange look. But before he could say anything Katsu grabbed his sword and yelled out, "Meiyo no tame ni! (For honor!)" before stabbing himself in the chest. Kito and Tomo's eyes widened in horror as they watched their brother's lifeless body hit the ground.

"Whoa!" Casey cried out, his black eyes wide. "I did not see that coming!"

"Nor did I Casey," Kito said softly as he knelt beside Katsu's body and checked for a pulse. After finding none Kito rose to his feet and turned to Tomo, who looked at his brother with wide brown eyes. "Anata wa anata no hanzai ni kotaenakereba naranaideshou Tomo (You will have to answer for your crimes Tomo,)" Kito said. "Hoka no inperiarugādo mo dōyōdesu. (As will the rest of the Imperial Guards.)"

"Kito ga wakaru (I understand Kito,)" Tomo said softly. "Soshite watashi wa watashinojinsei o onzon shite kurete arigatō (And I thank you for spearing my life.)"

"Watashi wa mōhitori no kyōdai o ushinaimashita (I already lost one brother,)" Kito said. "Mō ushinau koto wanai (I will not lose another.)"

"Soshite, anata wa kare o ushinau koto wa arimasen (And you will not lose him,)" Splinter said, coming onto the scene with Mikey, Karai and the rest of the group behind him. Donnie had helped both Leo and Raph and the two brothers were resting in their rooms. "Watashi wa, Kito to Keno o Nihon ni kikoku sa se, subete no yūzai-sha ni seigi ga atae rareru yō ni shite imasu. (I am putting Kito and Keno in charge of going back to Japan and making sure that justice is served for all the guilty parties.)"

"Hai masutā yoshi (Yes Master Yoshi,)" Keno and Kito said with bows. With that the two men instructed the others on what to do. The group dispersed gathering all the guilty parties and taking them to their proper places to deliver justice. Katsu and Shredder's bodies were also taken away and the blood cleaned up.

"Sugu ni Nihon ni modorimasu (We will head back to Japan at once,)" Kito informed Splinter. "Anata ga watashitachi ni todomaru koto o nozonde inai kagiri (Unless you would wish us to stay.)"

"Hiro, shinari, sukō wa tomarubekida to omou (I think the Hiro, Shinari, Suko should stay,)" Splinter declared. "Anata no nokori wa Nihon ni kaerubekidesu. Watashi wa jibun no sonzai nashi de monogoto ga umaku iku to shinjite imasu (The rest of you should go back to Japan. I trust things will be fine without my presence,)"

"Shureddā ga shinda ima, watashi wa monogoto ga chōdo daijōbu ni naru koto o utagai o motteinai (Now that the Shredder is dead I have no doubt things will be just fine,)" Kito said with a smile. "Shikashi, watashi ga iku mae ni watashi wa Leonardo to Rapahel ni sayonara o iu koto ga dekimasu ka? (But may I say goodbye to Leonardo and Raphael before I go?)"

"Karera wa hoka no hōhō de sore o motte inaidarou (They would not have it any other way,)" Splinter said with a smile. "Watashi mo sō janai (Nor would I.)" With that Kito went to say goodbye to the two older turtles. When he reached Leo's room he knocked gently.

"Ohairikudasai (Come in,)" came Leo's tried sounding voice. Kito opened the door and walked to Leo's bed and sat down on the edge.

"Sayonara Leonardo to iu yō ni natta (I just came to say goodbye Leonardo,)" Kito said with a smile.

"Kaetchau no? (You're leaving?)" Leo asked, unable to hide the disappointment in his voice.

"Hai,-sōdesu (Yes we are,)" Kito said with a nod. "Masutā yoshi wa kemo to watashi ni Tomo to hokanohito ga karera no tekisetsuna batsu o ukeru no o kakujitsu ni suru koto de kiso shimashita (Master Yoshi has charged Keno and I with making sure the Tomo and the others receive their proper punishments.)"

"Anata ga shite kureta subete no koto ni taishite Kito ni kansha shimasu (Thank you Kito for all you've done,)" Leo said putting his hand out for and handshake. But to his surprise Kito smiled and pulled the oldest turtle into a warm hug.

"Sore wa watashi no yorokobideshita Leonardo (It has been my pleasure Leonardo,)" Kito whispered. "Dōzo okaradaniokiwotsuke kudasai. Kore ijō bakageta engi (Please take care of yourself. No more acting foolish.)"

"Anata wa sore ni tsuite watashi no kotoba o motte imasu (You have my word on that,)" Leo said with a smile.

"Anata ga watashi o hitsuyō to shita koto ga areba watashi ni denwa shite kudasai (Please call me if you ever need me,)" Kito said. "Hanasu dake demo (Even if it is only to talk.)"

"Shimasu (I will,)" Leo said. "Watashi wa anata o ketsujō suru tsumoridesu (I'm going to miss you Kito.)"

"Soshite watashi wa Leonardo (And I you Leonardo,)" Kito said as he stood. "Watashi wa anatagata zen'in o hijō ni sabishiku omoudeshou. Sayōnara Leonardo. (I shall miss all of you greatly. Goodbye Leonardo.)"

"Sayonara kitō (Goodbye Kito,)" Leo said, trying not to sound to sad that his friend was leaving. With that Kito left, shutting the door behind him and Leo layed his head down and tried to get some rest.

The weeks past and soon two months had gone by and things were getting back to normal for the Hamato Clan. Leo and Raph's injuries had healed up nicely and the two brothers had gone back to training. Things in Japan were back to normal as well and Kito and Keno were checking in with Splinter on a weekly basis. Kirby's injures had healed up as well and he had gone back to living his normal life. Casey and Sara had managed to keep their father from finding out about the turtles and Sara had even convinced Splinter to allow her to join April and Casey in their training lessons. On this particular day Casey was helping Sara with her katas while the others were doing their training. Just then April came bursting into the room. "Guys you'll never guess what happened!" the red head exclaimed.

"What's wrong April?" Leo asked, giving his friend his full attention.

"Tiger Claw escaped custody!" April informed her friends. "He, Bradford and Montes arranged this high scale break out!"

"Well that's just great," Donnie muttered. "They'll be causing their usual trouble no doubt."

"And we'll be ready for them," Leo declared. "When and if they decide to return we'll take them down again. I'm not worried."

"Yeah me either," Karai said, putting her hand on Leo's shoulder. "We can handle whatever Tiger Claw or anyone else throws at us."

"Hell yeah we can!" Raph exclaimed, putting his arm around his sister. Over the last few weeks Raph and Karai's relationship had greatly improved, although the pair still fought from time to time.

"Dude Tiger Claw can bring it on!" Mikey cried out. "In fact I'm looking forward to kicking their sorry butts again!"

"I am glad to hear you say that my children," Splinter said with a smile. "But I think for now we should continue our training."

"Hai Sensei!" the group said with bows as they returned to their training. As Splinter watched his children and their friends train he couldn't help but smile. Leo had become much more confidant over the last few weeks and he went back to his responsible ways. Even Raph was getting less reckless in his behavior, which made the brown coated rat very hopeful that they would have a great future ahead of them.
