Warnings: Angst and some fluff

Karai lived a simple life, she finally had what she always wanted. A handsome brave husband, a beautiful daughter. Moving to Japan and raising the foot clan back to it's glory before the evil Shredder poisoned it, seemed like a dream.

But now she is in her thirties, her marriage still going strong while her and her daughter, Light don't have the best relationship. They are as close as a mother and daughter can get.

Everything seemed perfect... Right? Well... Let's see.

"Sol, Honey! I got this" Karai said, laughing at her husband.

Her husband, Solaris didn't look like a normal man, he had long slick black hair, his eyes were as black as night, he skin was dark but had scars over it, he had long, big black wings that dragged as he walked, he had fox ears and a large fox tail. From an outside perspective, he would seem intimidating but in reality he was a sweetheart.

"Love, are you sure?" He looked at her, worried about how good her cooking skills were.

"I'm sure, can you drag Light out of her room to set up the table? That girl is gonna make my hair turn gray" She explained, as she pulled out some vegetables.

"Of course" He kissed her on her cheek and smiled as he walked out of the kitchen.

Karai giggled as she set out the vegetables on a cutting mat and pulled out a knife, she started cutting the veggies then stared at the knife.

"Metal..." She spoke softly and quietly.

Flashback

Karai ran through the halls of the old foot clan lair, despite just being released from the hospital, she had a mission.

"Please still be here, please!" She burst through the doors and saw a girl, younger than her, crying at the bottom of the staircase that leads to the old throne.

"Hotaru..." Karai slowly walked over to her.

The girl had short black hair but was obviously dyed blond to match Karai, her skin was pale, she had multiple earrings just like her, tears streamed down her gold eyes, allowing her make-up to run down her face, she was wearing an all black outfit that would seem like she went to a funeral.

"Sister... He's dead... Father is dead..." She cried as she stared at her.

"I know, Hotaru... He wasn't our father" Karai spoke to her, trying to comfort her.

"No... You're lying!" She screamed at her.

"I'm not, my father is Hamato Yoshi! I don't know who yours was but we can find out together-"

"I don't want your help! They got to you, huh? Filled your head with lies!"

"No, It's the truth! Hotaru, please-"

"No! I don't wanna listen to the lies to put inside your head!! Listen, join our family again! And we can destroy them, together!"

".... No. I'm not destroying them, they're my family."

"... Then I guess, we're no longer sisters... I hate you..." She mumbled to herself as she picked up a dagger.

"What-" Hotaru threw a dagger which barely missed her head.

"YOU HEARD ME!! I HATE YOU! YOU AREN'T MY SISTER ANYMORE! JUST LEAVE AND NEVER COME BACK"

Flashback ends

Karai was looking at the knife, shaking as the repressed memory came back and repeated over and over again.

"Well, I finally got Light out of her room! She put up quite a fi..." Solaris looked up and saw the knife.

"Karai!" He grabbed the knife and held her.

He started caressing his fingers through her hair and let her listen to his heartbeat.

"Is it the memory again?" He asked, softly as she nodded.

"I know it hurts to remember but you won't heal if you try to forget it, if your father was here... He would tell you to stop fighting and let it flow"

Solaris was always right, that's what she loved about him and also what she hated the most.

She could never fully heal from her mistakes, but she did learn from them. Hotaru, now called Metal, is still out there... and the stronger she becomes...

The more they are all in danger.
