Growing up with them

Ch.8

Taylor's pov
"Right, so we are out at night because?" I asked as Cody dragged me to some place somewhere
"Well, can't I take a pretty girl like you out." He said and I blushed
I mean it wasn't enough for our apartments to be right next door to each other, but now he was risking my family catching me out here in the city. I wasn't looking forward to that happy family reunion. Especially when me and Cody had been working nonstop on trying to find my lineage.
The local library had records that traced back to ancient Japan and some sort of ninja master. That's all we could find and have digging around tell we hit a wall. The wall was when we found a symbol that was red and looked like a claw. We have been trying for weeks but still nothing. Now, Cody had me out in New York risking the fact that I might be caught.
I didn't want my family hurt. If they new I was alive it would bring danger to them I could feel in my bones that it just wouldn't be good. If they died I don't know what I would do.
Not to mention shred head is still looking for me and would catch me if I was spotted anywhere. Life was so complicated right now and the only thing that made sense was Cody up until now at least.
"Still, do you really think that it's a good idea to have me out when shredder can find me. Not to mention if my family finds me things would get even more complicated." I said as I felt like someone or something was watching us from the roof tops
"Relax, there is no possible way that you'll be found." He said as a pair of sais almost hit us
"Oh no." I said as I pushed Cody into a trash bin and I jumped in as well closing the lid hoping that we wouldn't be found

Raphs pov
We were patrolling the streets looking for Taylor like we do every night when I spotted something out of the Corner of my eye.
"Hey Donnie what's that over there." I said pointing in the direction saw something
"It looks like s couple on a ..... wait a minute." He said as he scanned
"What is it her Donnie?" Mikey asked and Donnie nodded
"I think so it sure looks like Taylor." He said and Mikey looked at him with wide eyes
"What is she doing with that guy?" I asked as i through my sais and the couple hid in a dumpster
"It's her alright, do me a favor though don't tell Leo back at home just yet." Donnie said and we all nodded
"Agreed, it's time we get some answers." I said as we all jumped down and walked towards the dumpster
"Cody," I heard Taylor's voice say as we got close "your elbow is my ribs move over." She said and the boy responded back
"Dude your the one that threw me in here mind explaining." He said sounding familiar to me but I couldn't put a finger on why his voice sounded like I had heard it before
"Dude, shhh, your voice carries. Look I'm not trying to be mean it's just those are my uncles, well at least one is. Look I can't have them find me you wanna know why?" She said panicked in her voice
"Why?" Said the boy sassy
"Because your a jones one and two they are in as much danger as we are remember last week when shred head almost took us down?" She asked him and I looked at the guys telling them to stay back as they nodded
"Yeah, you kicked his butt though." Said the boy and she sighed replying
"Barely, if you hadn't stepped in we both would have been dead. Anyways I can't have me being stupid get them hurt. It's not like I wanted to hide and we are so close to finding out my family heritage I don't wanna mess that up." She said as the boy responded
"Face it Taylor you know the right thing is to at least talk to them." He said and she sighed
At this point I was mad I was getting to the point where I wanted to open the dumpster and drag her out. That was until I heard the next sentence that came out of Taylor's mouth.
"I know I should, but what if they get hurt. What if they get themselves killed. Look I love my family, even if some of them are hard to love do you really think it's best for me to see them." She said as I opened the dumpster
"I don't know is it really best?" I asked as she looked up
"Hey, uncle Raph." She said as I pulled her out of the dumpster gently and we started to talk
