This chapter took forever to write cause I had no idea what to do so I made it kind of like a filler before I jump ahead to when the guys are older.

Just a look at what 8 year old Leo has to go through with his brothers after he made his vow.

Mikey

Splinter sensed a change in Leonardo several days following Raphael's outburst that he hated his brother. The young turtle seemed to drown himself in his training and when he wasn't doing that he was trying to be with his brothers but only to help and listen to them. Though for the most part he would take hits from them that he didn't react to. For the most part Leo was left alone in his room or in the dojo while his brothers did what they wanted.

Leo sat in his room meditating when there was a knock at the door, looking up to see Mikey standing in the doorway. The youngest looked at his brother with his usual cheerful smile and dancing bright blue eyes.

"Something wrong, Mikey?" Leo asked getting to his feet.

"Um, uh, can you read me a story?" Mikey asked quietly looking at the floor.

"Sure, Mike."

Mikey smiled widely and went over to sit on his brother's bed with a book in his sea-green hands. Leo had a small smile on his face as he sat down beside his baby brother and took the book into his own forest green hands. He read the story to his brother the small smile still on his face; he had found out recently that it was hard not to smile when Mikey was happy. Though there were still times when Mikey would play nasty pranks on him or be mad at his for not playing games with him. But out of his three little brothers, Mikey seemed to be the only one to still acknowledge what Leo was doing and that he was still there.

Donnie

Later that night Leo came out of the dojo to find Donnie asleep on the floor surrounded by random machine parts. Shaking his head, he went over to the sleeping turtle and gently shook him but the purple banded turtle didn't wake up. Leo though he was sore from his extra training hour grabbed a blanket and sat down placing his brother's head on his lap before covering him with the blanket. Don had been a different story when it came to Leo being around; he talked to his brother but he would also snap at him when he was working on something.

Flashback

Leo was meditating in the dojo when he heard someone enter the room but that someone didn't say anything. Knowing which of his brothers it was, Leo opened his eyes and looked at his purple banded brother.

"Donnie?" he asked, he could tell that his brother wanted to ask something. "Something wrong?"

"Um, can you help me with the kata we learned today?" Donnie asked looking down.

Leo placed his hand on his brother's shoulder, "Of course."

After an hour Donnie had improved with the kata and with a smile went to go work on a small project of his. Leo exited the dojo a few minutes later and went over to see what his brother was doing since he didn't understand anything about machines.

"Hey Donnie, what are you doing?" Leo asked coming up behind his brother.

Donnie jumped and whirled on his brother, "How many times have I told you not to do that?"

Leo looked at his brother calmly, "I'm sorry….."

"If you don't understand what I'm doing then leave me alone, Leo, I'm working."

Leo nodded and headed to his room, he'd leave his brother alone if that's what he wanted him to do. He kept a calm face as he entered his room to either meditate or read one of his books.

End Flashback

Leo looked down at his sleeping little brother with a small smile and closed his eyes falling to sleep himself. Master Splinter found them later and carried them off to their beds with a smile on his face.

Raph

The next day, Raph glared at his brother during training, Leo made everything look so easy and it made him so mad. He growled and pushed his brother whenever he could knowing that he would get back at his brother soon enough. Leo took in the glares and ignored the growls from his red banded brother; he wasn't going to show emotion. When training was over, Raph hung back and glared at his big brother who was being spoken to by Master Splinter which made Raph even angrier.

Once Master Splinter left, Raph was left alone with Leo, who turned to look at his little brother. Raph was still glaring at him but Leo kept his face calm as he watched his brother closely. The calmness that his brother looked at him with only made Raph's anger increase and his hands turned to fists.

"Ya think yer so perfect." Raph growled to his brother.

"I'm not perfect, Raph." Leo said trying not to show emotion.

"I hate you!"

Raph launched himself at Leo, punching his brother in the face causing him to stumble back away from him. Leo looked at his brother, his hand on his cheek but he still had his calm mask in place not wanting to show how hurt he really was.

Every day was pretty much the same for Leo with his brothers, some days were better than others though.

Next Chapter I'm skipping ahead to when they're older and the real fun begins.
