Like Only a Brother Could

by Mickis

Two lone brothers facing an ambush of LOTS of enemies. Very different from what I usually do. I guess it’s more of a poem thing than just a one shot. Rated for violence and language.

Disclaimer: Wait a second? Do I…? No, that's right. I DON'T own the Ninja Turtles. Oh well. (shrugs at the old news and skips off, humming something she randomly makes up as she goes)

A/N: Okay. This is nothing like what I usually do. I originally intended for this to be a regular one-shot, but it looked better this way. Plus, I wanted to challenge myself in doing something unlike me. Call it poetry if you want to; I'm not very familiar with the world of poems, so I wouldn't know. Either way, enjoy and don't forget to review. Thank you.

I've played hide and seek with you
I've shared punishments with you
I've laughed with you
And I've laughed at you

I've loved you like only a brother could

Now, as I stand with my shell locked to yours
Bloodthirsty enemies watching us from every corner of the street
I'll go to war with you
Together, we'll take these bastards out
We'll condemn them to eternity on this rainy September night
Teach them what's worth fighting for

But don't stop if the next body to hit the ground is mine
Don't turn around, should you hear me scream
Promise me you'll fight
Promise me you'll survive
Promise not to look back

I've gotten up early to watch Saturday cartoons with you
I've beaten you bruised on the living room floor
I've cried for you
And I've cried because of you

I've hated you like only a brother could

Now, as your exhausted pants echoes harshly in my head
Our bodies moving in blind tune with each other
I'll fight this war with you
Together, we'll hunt these fuckers down
We'll lead them into the light they never deserved on this black September night
Teach them what's worth living for

So don't stop if the next person's blood to spill is mine
Don't turn around at the sound of my skull cracking open
Promise me you'll fight
Promise me you'll survive
Promise not to look back

You may not see me
But I'm still there

Protecting you like only a brother could
