Chapter 4 TCRI NAI (new and Improved)

It was late, and Pitch dozed off on Dameon's shoulder. Raph was staring at Dameon, something not sitting right with him,

"What?" he snarled,

"...nothing"

"yeah I'm sure it's nothing Raphael." he growled. Donnie looked up from the book he was reading,

"we never told you guys our names." Shock flashed on Dameon's face.

"who are you REALLY?" Leo stood up,

"my name is Dameon Rodgers." he smiled menancingly. white white teeth pointed in a sharp angle. Pitch snapped up from sleeping,

"THAT'S IT!" she screamed. "the TCRI. the scientists there! I remember being there! they must of had somthing to do with my memory loss! WE GOTTA GO THERE!" she smiled at her sudden break through.

"whoa whoa whoa. are you nuts you crazy chick? maybe it's a past memory, like WAY past beacause the TCRI is being retailed into a sweater factory."

"not the OTHER kraang base, on the other side of town," Mikey smiled, "do you remember anything else?" Mikey pressed, a bit excited.

"no. I don't remember anything else, I'm done." she lied back down, and slept. Leo stood up,

"I'm going to tell Master Splinter we'll be gone for a few days. you all should get to sleep. you know how long the journey will be."

"a few days?"

"yes, a week under hard circumstances. but-"

"Leonardo," Master Splinter interuppted "you worry me greatly. last time you were gone a few days, you all almost got killed."

"I know you don't like it when we're gone longer than we should but, we need to, Pitch has to get her memory back."

"no."

Leo said to his father's back "this is the only Girl Mikey has ever liked, and the only one he's ever had a chance with, or hit it off with. she can't even remember his name, Master. I can't even start to imagine how that feels, he waited six months just to see her again. please Master." Master Splinter sighed,

he remembered the night Michelangleo told him how he felt about the hunter

'Master Splinter...? May I speak with you?' Michelangelo asked peaking in after knocking on his father's door.

'You may.' he said kindly to his youngest son. 'is somthing troubling you Michelangleo?' he took a very deep breath,

'Master, I don't know what to do, Ash is dangerous to her, she's a bit sensitive, Leo, raph and Donnie don't get her like I do. I'm worried about her, the pain she's dealing with is great she just lost her little brother and she's a nervous wreak! i really want to help her but I' he gently choaked in a helpless sob 'I don't know what to do.' Master Splinter nodded in understanding,

'is there somthing else, Michelangleo?'

'yes Master, there...there is.'

'you may tell me anything Michelangleo. you know that.'

'I...know...'

'well?'

'i feel like I...'

'yes?'

'that...'

'spit it out, Michelangleo.' Mikey took a deep breath and said very quickly

'thatIthinkIloveher.'

Master Splinter turned.

"you may go." Leo smiled, bowed, and walked out of Splinter's room.

"be careful my son."
