This idea just came to me…a RaphDonLeo triangle, with angst all around! WAHOO!

Donatello stared blankly at the computer screen; life had changed so much over the past three years of fighting the Foot, Bishop, and the REAL Shredder. He sighed hearing a crash in the distance.

Leonardo and Raphael's fighting had become even more dangerous for them, and it was getting harder and harder for him to stay there when they were arguing. He stood up, and stormed out of his lab.

He noticed everything was about to get physical; he didn't understand why they kept fighting about, but he was getting sick of it.

He didn't notice them stop as he walked by, and he didn't notice them stare at him.

The moment he was gone, Leonardo and Raphael returned to glaring each other down.

It was always about leadership, and now it was getting worse, the balance was starting to disappear…and they found something that they both wanted…

It was a war for who was dominate and who would win the prize that they both seek.


Donatello sat on the edge of the roof, a thoughtful expression on his face…his mind racing on every argument his two older brothers have ever had. Things only became worse after their sensei's death one winters night.

Now he and Michelangelo had to risk their lives to split the arguments up, usually they would stop when he entered as peace keeper, and they would split apart and go their separate ways.

The peace didn't last long though, days, maybe even hours later they would be at each others throats, and the process would be repeated.

Sometimes if it went really bad, either one or both of them would end up in bed rest, and he would see things that they wouldn't show…

Raphael could be very affectionate and caring when he wanted to be…

And Leonardo would become more humorous…

But it was only for him, no matter how Michelangelo tried, he would have to force that part of their two brothers out.

"I knew I would find ya up here."

"Hey Raph," he sighed, he wasn't in the mood for hearing Raph talk, he was tired of he and Leonardo fighting over who was the better leader.

"Donnie, I didn't mean ta upset ya…"

Raphael learned how to read his emotions like a book over the past three years, and Leonardo had learned how to read his emotions since they were seven.

"Why is everything getting worse?" he suddenly asked.

Raphael frowned, he couldn't tell him why…not yet…not with Leonardo being a few roof tops away.

"You'll find out soon enough," he stated.
