Chapter 4

Leo awoke the next morning in pain, He could feel that a couple ribs bruised. Goddamn Masaccio, Why can't he just accept the fact that he can't be leader and move on. No he had to make everything difficult, And he didn't want to admit it but he was smart about this. He knew that if he hit him, He would go running to Master Splinter and he would never forgive me. It wasn't fair, He's getting away with it. Leo walked outside his door and looked around. He saw that everyone was still asleep, He walked downstairs and glanced over at the couch, and to his unsettlement he saw Masaccio, soundly asleep. All theses thought started to run through his mind. He could take a knife and slice his throat, He could strangle him, He could knock him out like he did a couple days ago and tie him up and take him outside and throw him off a building. But he couldn't and that's what's killing him inside. Leo decided to go out for a run.

Mikey awoke to the sound of the lair door opening. He knew only one person that would be up this early and going out, The one person he needed to talk to. "Leo" He whispered, He quickly got up and ran to the railing to see the lair door close. He ran to Leo's door, He confirmed his thoughts when he saw his bed empty. He rushed down the stairs and headed to the lair door. But something caught his eye, He turned around and saw Masaccio was standing right behind him.

"Where are you going Mikey" Masaccio asked

"Oh nowhere, just thought I'd go out for a run" Mikey quickly thinking of an excuse

"Oh...ok...well then I hope you have a good run" Mikey could see something weird about him, Just the way he looked at him. It was to the point he was actually getting kinda scary. As Masaccio walked away Mikey turned around and walked to the door.

He quickly opened it and stepped out. "Leo!" He screamed. He ran to the down the sewer, continuing to call his name. He climbed out of the manhole and searched the rooftops. After about one hour of searching, He found the blue masked turtle, Sitting on the edge. Mikey approached him slowly, "Leo" he whispered.

"What are you doing here" Leo stated not looking in his direction

"I'm worried...about you" Mikey said as he sat next to his big brother "What's wrong Leo"

"Nothing Mikey" Leo said staring down at the New York streets

"Ok Leo I've been noticing something weird between you and Masaccio"

Leo cringed at the sound of that name and Mikey saw it. "There is something going on between you"

"I don't want to talk about it" Leo said

"Leo come on I can help"

"No you can't ok!" Leo yelled

Mikey jumped back at the sudden loudness.

"Leo...Please" Mikey whispered

" Its Masaccio, He's trying to get rid of me so he can be leader" Leo whispered

"What?"

" He wants me out of the picture so he can take over" Leo said

"Why does he want you out of the picture" Mikey asked

"Cause he feels that since he's the oldest and been training with Splinter for the longest that he should be leader"

"But that's not how it works...you have to train and you have to be the most loyal" Mikey said

"Yeah try telling him that and you receive a smash to the jaw and a couple kicks to the side" Leo said

"What! He's been hitting you!" Mikey said with shock

" I wish it was just hitting" Leo said

" Why don't you just fight back" Mikey asked

"Cause I know how he plays, If I hit him he's gonna run to Splinter and he will never forgive me...For now let's just keep this between you and me"

"And just sit back and watch as you get abused, I don't think so Leo" Mikey said

"Mikey we don't have a choice" Leo said

Mikey started to realize that they really didn't have a choice.

"Come one we should head back" Leo said as he sat up

They both found the nearest manhole and started to head back to the lair. As they walked back into the lair they saw Raph watching tv.

"Hey there you two are" Raph said

"Yeah we thought we would take an early morning run" Mikey said

"Hey you two" Don said walking out of his lab. " How you feeling Leo?"

"Better" He said

Mikey didn't want to ask but he thought he had to. " Where's Masaccio"

He felt Leo shudder next to him. " He's in the dojo" Raph said pointing toward the dojo.

"Not anymore"

The four of them turn to see Masaccio standing at the door of the dojo. Leo clenched his fists to keep his cool.

"Hey Don, Could you go do the dishes" Masaccio said

Don gave him a weird look "The dishes?" He asked "That's Mikey's job"

"I know but I need his help with something" Masaccio added " Leo how about you help him"

Leo looked at him with hate, He didn't answer him but he walked toward the kitchen. " Come on Don" He said as he passes him.

Mikey watched as Leo and Don walked into the kitchen. He shivered in fear as Masaccio called his name.

"Mikey..Could you help me with something"

" Uh sure" Mikey said

"Follow me in the dojo"

Mikey had a gut feeling that he didn't need help with anything. But he walked in behind Masaccio. He watched as Masaccio closed the door.

"Why are you closing the door" He asked

"No reason" Masaccio answered

Mwhahahahaha! Im so evil
