    On a rooftop under the New York night sky, Raphael stood alone, his plastron heaving up and down in fury as he tried to calm down after yet another heated argument with Leonardo. He had taken his anger out on the trash bins in the alley, but he still felt frustrated and misunderstood. Upon reaching the rooftop, he slumped down, gripping his sais tightly. His green eyes, normally filled with determination, shone with unexpected sadness, and unable to help it, tears began to roll down his cheeks.

    A figure appeared in the darkness. It was his enemy, a female Foot Clan ninja. Raphael immediately stood up, prepared to fight, his muscles tense and ready to take his anger out in combat.

    "What do you want now?" Raphael growled, raising his sais.

    The woman didn't answer, but instead stepped closer, breaking the distance between them, and before he could react, she grabbed his face and kissed him. Raphael, surprised, hesitated, but in the instant their tongues intertwined. It was an intense kiss, full of the same passion and fury that he carried inside.

    After a few seconds, Raphael abruptly separated himself, pushing her away with a mixture of anger and confusion. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" he exclaimed, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, his expression mixed between anger and vulnerability.

    The woman smiled with a defiant touch, her gaze fixed on him. "I thought the beast needed a little... calm. Did you not like it?" she provoked, keeping his tone calm.

    Raphael clenched his fists. "Calm down!?" he shouted, launching himself towards her. "You have no idea who you're messing with!"

    The woman laughed as she pulled away, provoking him even more, and began to escape across the rooftop. Raphael, furious, followed her, determined to confront the one who had dared to play with his emotions.
