Concealed

Chpt. 2

"Master, I have done what you have asked of me," the boy said bowing before the man who nodded his head to him with little emotion fliciking his wrist telling him to rise.

"What did you think Leonardo?" his eyes cut into the boy who lowered his gaze to the floor slightly at the piercing stare.

"He is not what I expected," he said truthfully,"His appearance wasn't shocking it was how he fought, he fought like an angry monkey with no sense of control, he was talented enough to take down the likes of Hun yes, but he wasn't what I would expect you wanting, he couldn't even strike one hit on me."

His master grabbed him by the cheek and raised his gaze and smirked to the boy,"I wouldn't expect less of my student of course he couldn't land a hit on you," his grip tightened staring into the depth of his soul,"Do not question my choices Leonardo, I know best."

With that he dropped his vice gripped fingers from his son's face and exited the room, leaving Leonardo softly gazing off after him picking himself up from the floor he had fallen to.

...

Raph punched harder and harder into the punching bag. With each hit his mind would grumble the boy's name. Leonardo, Leonardo, Leonardo, Leonardo, Leonardo, Leonardo, Leonardo.

"Leonardo," he snarled punching his hand through the bag, sand pooling around his feet. His breathing increasing as his hand slithered out of the lifeless bag. His brothers staring at him in slightly worried way.

"I think he's lost it," Mike said shaking his head to him,"He's been like this all morning."

"I know," Don said softly,"He actually got up without setting the alarm clock to sleep mode for once, whatever happened last night has made our brother one step closer to becoming a mad man."

"Donny, when it comes to that, I'm telling you now," Don was already shaking his head to whatever his brother was about to say,"I'm pushing you in his path and I'm going to run like I've never ran."

"Oh isn't that funny, because I don't think I've ever seen that," both their eyes shot to their older brother standing in front of them glaring,"Now unless you want me to snap already, I've got a job for you Donny."

Don gulped not wishing to erupt the wrath of his brother but at the same time not wanting to know what his brother wanted to do.

...

Leonardo sat in a simple meditative state in the dojo. He wondered vaguely if there was more to the warrior from last night, but then again, at one time he thought there was more to Hun. They have a lot in common, he thought to himself with a slight laugh, their both out of their league and far too dense to realize such, oh speak of the devil.

Hun strolled into the room looking quite pleased with himself,"Well if it isn't the master's son."

"Well if it isn't the master's pet ape," he said calmly his eyes once more trying to shut off his surroundings. He could hear Hun snarl but didn't mind, he wouldn't dare touch him.

"Watch it boy," Hun began to circle around him like a vulture ready to feast on its next meal,"You are treading a fine line talking to me like that."

"Is that a challenge?" he asked void of interest his voice remaining calm snapping Hun's final nerve.

"You will learn respect for those higher ranked then you," he snapped grabbing the boy by the collar of his shirt.

Leonardo swept the fingers vice grip away from him with a flick of his hand then stood up from his position on the ground,"Who's going to teach me? You? It would be wise for you to take your monkey business else where."

Hun snarled watching the boy stroll from the room, his arogant superiority in each step, then smirked,"I believe I will take it upon myself to teach you manors."

...

"Just do it!" Raph snapped at Don who shook his head and looked at him like he was crazy.

"Do you possibly know how many Leonardos there are in New York?" he snapped continuing to work on what he was working on before, his brother stood in the same spot glaring at him.

"I told you, it shouldn't be that hard, he's Asian! How many Asian families name there kid Leonardo? He's also apart of the foot! Meaning-"

"This is insane," Don finished not taking his eyes off the machine he was working on,"If you get me a last name, maybe I'll care, but just because you get beat up doesn't mean its the end of the world you should just be happy he didn't kill you."

"He called me a monkey and your not going to do anything about it?" Raph snapped at him.

Don just shook his head,"Didn't sensei ever teach you to control your anger problems?"

"Didn't he tell you I was the leader?" Raph snapped back, Don sighing softly to that. From what he had overheard this morning, that statement may not ever comply with the arguments again. His sensei and brother were talking about Raph leading and he didn't seem to want the job, so his sensei finally came to a half way point with his son, he would try for another month to be leader and if it still didn't work out, he would consider which of the sons could take his place. Don wasn't about to bring that up though, he wasn't ready for that kind of responsibility. So he went back to work on his machine while his brother told him all about how he wanted to kill this boy but gave Don no understanding to what happened to make him want to even murder this boy, Leonardo.

Raph snarled at Don who ignored him,"By the way, what happened last night? Why did this Leonardo want you so badly?"

Raph wasn't listening to his brother his head was tilted to the side looking at the magazine on the desk. On the front cover was a man around thirty with slicked back black hair and deep lifeless brown eyes. His hand was on the head of a fifteen year old boy with no emotion on his face. The title read: 'Billionaire Saki Oruku lends the city a hand.' Then in smaller print it read Saki and his son Leonardo.

"Donny, that's him," Raph gasped pointing at the fifteen year old. Don tilting his head to him in disbelief.

"I don't think so, Raph," he said softly now truly wondering if his brother was mad,"That's the richest man in New York's son, why would he want anything to do with you?"

"He didn't! His master did," Raph snapped back at him looking closer at the boy,"He more wanted to kill me."

"I believe that," Don grumbled then added more loudly when his brother glared at him,"But why would he want anything to do with the foot? His father is in more charity events then I can count, that would ruin his father's image."

"Not if his daddy's the leader," Raph countered. Don was just shaking his head to that wondering when the last time his brother had a rational thought.

"What proof do you have?" Don snapped but shut his mouth to the parchment his brother held in his hand.

"How much you wanna bet this hand writing matches perfectly with any thing Oroku Saki has written?"
