The sound of weapon crashed against each other sounded through the lair. The smell of sweat pierced through the noses. As almost all the rooms of the lair was empty, there was one there wasn't, the dojo.
It was a morning like any others for the turtles, first there was training, then breakfast and then it was up to themselves what they would do for the rest of the day, well until they shall have training again.
At the training they should spare against each other, Leo against Don and Raph against Mikey. It was usell this way they spared and after that they would swift turns. It could go on for hours. But his time it was different, that day Splinter wasn't there to look after what they did wrong and right, and to say stop when Raph and Mikey went to far.
The sweat flowed slowly down at Mikey's cheek as he jumped away from Raph's attack. A huge smile came to Mikey's lips as Raph groaned and narrowed his eyes even more if that was possible. Mikey landed on his feet only to jump up in the air again, he knew if he didn't keep moving Raph would hit him, and hard. They had been fighting in about ten minutes and Raph was really angry at Mikey this time. Mikey had been joking about Raph's way to fight and that was a bottom you shouldn't press on if you want to walk away alive. Raph pounced at the wall where Mikey's head just have been, and a little bit of the wall fell down at the ground. Mikey was already gone to the opposite of the room and sat there looking at his brother 'danced' around as he swore in pain. He saw that Raph's hand was bleeding on the knuckles and couldn't help but cry out in laughter. Which he shouldn't have done. Raph turned quickly around and attacked Mikey again, as the bleed fled free from his hand. A laud tump was heard and Leo and Don stopped their fight and turned the the others. They saw Raph sitting on Mikey's plaston holding him down to the ground with his weight. Mikey lifted his head just about a few inches and spat Raph between his eyes. Raph roared and jumped off Mikey. He ripped the liquid away from his face and turned around to kill Mikey, but he couldn't find him. He turned to look at Don and Leo, for see that he was behind them, but since they had begin to spar again he couldn't be hiding behind them. He looked the room over again, he even checked the cellar, but there was nothing. He then heard a little breath from behind and he turned to hit his little brother, and that was what he did. A cry of pain came from the orange turtle as he fell to the ground. A little blood came also, not only from Raph hand but also from Mikey's mount.
"Dat was for spiting me in ma' head!" Raph yelled at Mikey. He saw the blood running down from his little brothers mount, and he immediately felt a little guilty for it. After all his little brother had just spiting him in his head, he didn't made Raph bleed like now. Mikey let out a little groan, he knew this would come, he just didn't thought it would hurt that much. He took his hand up to his mount and he saw the red liquid between his fingers. He felt after his lips were alright and the same with his teeth, he found them perfectly fine. He sighned and stood up. Raph looked to be just as angry as before, and he knew he had to do something to get rid of it, before Raph hits him again. Then he got an almost perfect idea.
"Yea, Yea Raphie let's just say that o.k.? Now wouldn't you be interesting in a run?" Mikey said with a little smirk on his lips. He knew Raph loved it and as they were in New York he could see Alicia, again. Raph eyes widened and he looked like he could lose his mount eveytime it should be.
He had just punched his little brother in his face so hard he bleed, and even then he was still in a good mode, not even a little spark in his eyes of sadness or anger. That wasn't normally Mikey's stile, he used to be shocked, sad or angry. Sometimes, if Raph had hit him hard enough or said anything completely wrong, he would even begin to cry, but now he was just as happy as before.
"uhhmm.. Mike, are ya alright?" He asked nervously.
"Uhm, yea why shouldn't I be alright?" Mikey rose a eyebrow at his brother's question. It was unusual for his brother to concern about him in that way. His older brother looked at him again with a confused look, but then he looked at the ground and sighed deeply.
"Nothing, come on, will ya on a run or wha'? Shall we ask Leo and Don about dey will go too'?" He asked pointed over his shoulder to his other two brother who was still fighting. And to Raph luck they didn't seem to have noticed Raph hit Mikey in his face.
"Yea right we should! It could be a group-run, just like old days!" He yelled out and his arms rose right into the air in the matter of seconds. A big grin came onto his lips, and his eyes seemed to be blue enough to could replace the sky right than. He jumped over Raph in one jump and ran over to his two other brothers, as Raph just stood there looking with big eyes over to his youngest brother and the two others turtles. He didn't knew Mikey could jump that high in just one jump and without running first.
"Hey guys! Do you want to go on a run through the big city tonight?" Mikey asked his brothers as they stopped their fighting. They watched as Mikey throw his arm around in the air as he told them about the run. Don looked over at Leo, when Mikey was done with talking. Leo sighned heavy and looked up at his youngest brother who had the biggest puppy-eyes in the history.
"O.k. But than we need to go now, or we can't make it before the sun comes," He told his brothers, as they followed him out. Mikey, who was almost the happiest turtle on the earth, jumped in front of his brothers and ran out in the sewers before the others even got three meters close to the door.
"Mikey wait for us!" Don yelled out after his brother but he was already gone. They all looked at each other and took after him.
-40 minutes later-
They jumped over the rooftops as always. The city-air was so clean that night, there hadn't been so many cars and trucks like other days, so there hadn't been so much CO2 that day. There hadn't been so many people even. But here and there you'll see some people walking around and talk and laugh.
They jumped over to another rooftop. Leo, Don and Raph was a little behind Mikey, who was the fastest one of them. He looked over his shoulder back at his brothers and a huge grin came onto his lips. He had his change to get away and win some time to see Alicia in. He moved a little faster than before, and soon he was almost two rooftops in the front. The others weren't so confused about this, their little brother had always loved to run as fast as he could, only to make himself faster and to see where his limit was. They just followed him from behind and made sure that he didn't hurt himself or anyone else would hurt him, every night where they had a group-run they hoped that would never happen. But unfortunately this wasn't their night.
As Mikey jumped again he felt someone's eye catch him in the jump. As he landed he turned around to see if there was someone but found nothing. His eyes narrowed as he knew there was something or someone there. He watched all the shadows for every move there could be, but as the minutes past by, he heard voices calling his name and he figured out that it was his brothers who called for him. A sound of bare feet landing on the ground sounded, and they walked over to their little brother who still stood there and looking out in the shadows.
"Hey, whad' are ya doin' Mike?" Raph asked his little brother, lain a hand on the left shoulder of his little brother. The muscle in the brothers shoulder tensed and he turned his head quickly around to see his red-bandana brother looking him in the eyes. He relaxed when it was his brother who took his shoulder, and not the shadow who had been chased him before. He sighed and looked over at the dark shadows of the city again, but still finding nothing.
"Nothing, I just thought I heard something, but I guess it's just a cat or something like that..." He continued to look as he said that.
"Hmpf... come on let's go knucklehead." Raph took Mikey's shoulder with him as they walked back to Leo and Don who stood in the opposite of the building. Together they began to walk home, but soon they were stopped by a scream of pain and scariness, from a girl nearby. They all turned to the direction and ran. Thoughts ran over in their head as usual, thoughts of what there could be happening, and who was the enemy this time and these kind of questions. But for Mikey it was something else. He knew the scream, it was exactly the same scream as he heard from about 10 months ago, and only one thing was on his mind, Alicia.
They soon came to the allay where Alicia was, and found her surrounded by a group of ninjas only Mikey had seen before. It was the same ninjas there attacked Alicia the first time Mikey saved her.
His eyes widened when he recalled the memory, and shoved when he realized that it was also the first time he was fallen in love with someone, and the first time he had seen a girl naked. Of course he had already seen Alicia naked sometimes already, and god how he loved it. These perfectly formed curves and the perfect black curled hair he loved to run a finger through. He closed his eyes at these thoughts and was completely lost until he heard another scream and he felt the anger take over. His teeth grinned and he felt a yell of rage coming up trough his troat. He jumped up the edge of the building, but was stopped by a hand on his shoulder. He saw that it was Leo's hand there held him back from saving Alicia and looked Leo in the eyes and was about to say something but Leo cut him off again.
"Wait Mikey, I know how you feel, and yes we are going to save that girl, but we need to be more careful than just jump down there and fight like we do with the Purple Dragons" He said and soon Don followed.
"Leo's right, we can't just jump down there, we don't even know who these ninjas are. Just look at their weapons, not even Bishop has something like that. We need a plan" Don said.
"Yea, how about this; Three of us will go and fight these ninjas as the last one will get her to safety, do you guys think that will work?" Leo came.
"Yea, sure Fearless leader, I'll get her" Mikey said with the voice of anger, a voice he didn't use very much. It also made his brothers look at him, they had never seen Mikey like that before. And before they could do something, Mikey jumped down in the allay and landed in the front of Alicia with his nunacked ready to fight. His brothers called out his name, but it was too late, and soon they followed down and began to fight.
As the others fought, Mikey was busy with getting Alicia in safety. He had her in his arms as he jumped up to the top of the building again.
"Thanks Mike, I don't know how they found me, but I'm just so happy for you guys found me" She told him and gave him a kiss on his cheek. He felt the heat come up to his cheeks, but he knew that there wasn't time for that, he got to get Alicia away from the battle before their leader came and took her away from him.
"There is no need for thanking me yet, as long as you aren't safe I can't be thanked" He told her. She had never seen him this angry before, but she knew it wasn't at her but at the ninjas there had attacked her. She looked down in the ground as he began to jump over the rooftops again.
But soon their way was blocked by a shadow of that only man they didn't want to meet.
Mikey's anger rose even more as he saw a sword in the moonlight with a dragon on it, and he pressed Alicia closer to himself. One name crossed his mind as the moonlight showed who it was.
"Torn"
