Hey my Awesome Ninja's! A BIG thanks to dondena & NJ7009 for your continuous reviews. Also a thanks for my other reviewers, followers and favouriters! xD Means a lot.

I know that people don't come back from the dead after a few days, but the thing that's always running through my head when I write, is that when the story is in the writers hands, ANYTHING can happen. :) I hope that helps people to understand my writing style a little more. :)

Anyway... I'm sorry for my slow updates, super busy at the moment!

Here is the next chapter! :D Enjoy!


I sighed and smiled weakly. Being dead was horrible. I don't even know where to start with my explanation of my experience. I sighed.

"You're home..." Sensei said in disbelief.

"Home again Sensei" I said, bowing to him. "I'm sorry that I allowed myself to become such a failure" I said, pretty much like the word 'failure' was a drop of poison that I had just spat out.

"No, you are even stronger now Leonardo. Not stronger physically but stronger spiritually. Welcome home my son" he said hugging me. I returned the hug.

"We all missed you very much my son" he told me.

"I missed you all too, father." a tear rolled down my cheek. 'Its so good to be back' I thought.

"I'm sorry" I said sadly, I winced a little and another tear began to free fall.

"You are forgiven Leonardo. It was not your fault for what happened that night. I do not dishonour you, but I suggest you talk to each of your brothers...especially Raphael..." he said, he pulled his ears back and his smile dropped. "I am afraid, he is suffering such horrible thoughts. Pain...great pain"

"Yes father... I will try my best"

"As always" Sensei smirked, though there was no joy in his voice. He stumbled and I caught him.

"Are you okay Sensei?" I asked deeply concerned.

He held his head and nodded. "For the time being"

I didn't believe that, but let the moment pass by.

"Come my son. You must rest" he said. I was just about to walk out of the room when I remembered something. I turned around and walked stiffly back to my coffin. I reached in and picked up my damaged swords, the ones I had last fought with, the ones that snapped at the force of my brothers three forked weapons, the ones that couldn't help me stand even a 5% chance against my killers.

I gripped them tightly and closed my eyes for a few seconds, before walking to the hooks on the wall that were designed to grip the handle and not the full sword. I put my swords on the pegs and felt a furry paw on my shoulder. I turned my head to see Master Splinter smiling sympathetically at me. I hugged him a final time and the two of us exited the room.

We walked into the living room and Master Splinter sat down on the couch to watch an episode of his shows. I held down a giggle at this.

Donatello walked stiffly by. "I'm going to bed..." he said numbly.

"Don't you want to stay up and talk to Leo?" Mikey asked showing his puppy dog eyes.

"Actually Mikey..." I started.

"No!" Donatello hissed, scaring everyone. He sighed. "I...I meant to say no thanks. Please don't take this personal Leo... I... I just want to go to sleep" he said, playing with the bandage on his left hand.

I nodded. "Okay Donny... I might go to sleep too. Sorry Mikey. I'll tell you what ever you want tomorrow. Okay?"

"Okay Leo" he said hugging me. He was disappointed but I knew he understood.

"You may stay the night if you wish?" Sensei asked April and Casey.

"Sorry Sensei, but we have to head off early in the morning to do another delivery. Big flight ahead. Apologies all round" April said.

"Very well"

"Good night guys" I said.

"Night Leo!" everyone cried. I tried not to blush. I walked up the stairs and along the hall, towards my room.

I stepped inside, the room was cold and my bed was neatly made, the window shut and curtains closed. It seemed emptier than before. Possibly because I didn't have my swords propped neatly in the corner?

I sat down on my mattress and slipped under the covers; instantly relaxing. Bed never felt so good!

I laid flat on my shell, staring at the ceiling. 'Whats going on guys?' I wondered. 'Donny has never been so snappish. Mikey seems to have stopped talking as much. Raph is a mixture of all things he is and isn't. Even master Splinter is different!'

I sighed. "Guess that is another load of problems I need to try to sort out" I mumbled.

I rolled over on my side and tried to get to sleep.


There ya go :) Hope you liked it :)
