Chapter 9

Leo started training and training, and he kept on training till he couldn't anymore. He was just so overwhelmed with sadness and guilt. He couldn't believe what he just heard a few hours ago. The memory was starting to creep up on him, Michelangelo his own brother said that he... No! Leo thought he would not remember what happened, he couldn't, the pain was just to great. But soon he had no choice, he was forced to remember what happened...

[Flashback]

Leo was in the dojo getting ready to start training with his brothers.. He didn't know why but he was acting strange over the past couple of days and by strange he meant angry. Really angry, he was acting a lot like Raph, wait no scratch that he was acting worst than Raph.. And Leo had no idea why.. Well that was a lie Leo did know why, he just didn't want to admit it. Their finale attack on the Shredder almost killed them all, he couldn't protect his brothers, his father. He was the leader and he couldn't protect them... He felt so guilty and ashamed... That was why he had been acting the way he'd been acting. But Leo had no idea that his brothers were hurting as well, until they started training.

He turned to face his three younger brothers. Looked at the three of them then said " Let's begin". Raph, Don, and Mikey all nodded then took out their weapons. It wasn't long after they began their lesson did Leo's anger started to rise... He had no idea why he couldn't get rid of this anger...

Leo kicked Mikey hard in the chest knocking him to the floor then yelled " AGAIN!"

" Yo Fearless, ease up on Mikey" Raph said

" I'll ease up when you guys start trying" growled Leo before he could stop himself

" We are trying Leo" Mikey said getting to his feet putting a hand to his chest.

Not to me your not Mikey, your skills haven't improved at all, when are you going to stop joking and GROW UP! Leo said fiercely, really surprised at what he just said. Why did he just say that? He couldn't believe he just said that to Mikey their very sensitive little brother.

And when are you going to stop being a jerk? I HATE YOU! bellowed Mikey tears streaming down his face as he stormed out of the dojo up the steps that lead into the sewers and out of sight. Leo could only stare in complete shock at what he just heard. Mikey hated him?

" Mikey come back!" yelled Raph and Don together

" Leo, how could you say that to him!" Raph yelled as Leo felt Raph push him up against the wall

" I...I'm sorry" Leo mumbled it was all he could say because he was still in shock.

" Well sorry ain't gonna cut it Fearless, do you have any idea how much you hurt him? DO YOU?" growled Raph, Leo then felt Raph punch him hard in the face causing him to fall to the floor. What surprised Leo even more was when Raph punched him he just layed on the floor and took it.

" C'mon we got to go find him, he my have gone topside" said Donny as Leo saw his younger brother put a hand on Raph's shoulder then turned to the entrance leading to the sewers.

" For your sake Leo you better hope he didn't" growled Raph then he ran out of the lair.

[End of Flashback]

Leo suddenly stopped training, he realized now that the way he'd been acting lately was not right. Because of his anger Donny was probably disappointed in him, Raph was angrier than shell at him, and Mikey... Leo closed his eyes trying not to cry, but he couldn't help it, hot wet tears stared pouring down his face. Mikey hated him... Leo knew in that instint what he had to do. He had to find Mike and say that he was sorry for everything he said to him. He couldn't even imagine how much pain his little brother was in right now... Leo didn't even know if saying sorry was even good enough. But he had to try. Mike was his brother, Leo loved him with all his heart. He just couldn't have Mikey hate him.

Then Leo walked out of the lair.
