Raph's golden green eyes slowly blink open adjusting to the dim light in Leo's room. His head is on Leo's plastron and the leaders arms are wrapped around him carefully to where it wont hurt the sai welder. That was the best sleep he has had in days. "How long have ya been up?" He moves his head up so he can see his mate who softly smiles at him.

"Not long. I didn't get much sleep when you were missing." Leo's thumb rubs circles on Raph's arm.

"I'm sorry, Leo. I should have been more aware of my surroundings when I went to Mona's." The emerald turtle sits up with a grunt. "Damn.." Raph whispers. Didn't know my body was this sore.

Leo seems to notice because his eyes widen and he looks concerned. "We should probably have Donnie look at you."

"It's fine Fearless. I'm just a little sore is all."

A small smile appears on Leo's face. It would be like Raph to hide how much pain he is in. "I'm really glad you are back, Raph." He grabs the other turtles emerald hand into his. "And if you apologize to me again you will have more scars on your shell." Raph chuckles, "Okay Leo, I'm done apologizin' I swear." And plants a kiss on his mates cheek, about to pull away when Leo grabs his chin and puts there lips together for a very heated kiss. Leo straddles Raph's lap running his hands down his mates arms as their tongues dance around in each others mouths, causing a deep churr from the emerald turtle.

Leo smirks into the kiss. "You like that?" He whispers deeply.

The hotheads eyes peek open as his hands slide up the leaders thighs. "Fuck, Leo." He groans. "I hope your not startin' somethin' ya can't finish."

Leo's mouth moves to the stubborn turtles neck. "Just trying to wake you up more." He says innocently as his kisses emerald green skin.

"Unless ya want Don to see all of me in this check up," his eyes roll to the back of his head in pleasure as his hands grab onto Leo's thighs hard "I-I'd suggest we should finish this later then." The leaders stomach growls making his checks turn pink. Raph's eyes narrow, "Plus when was the last time ya ate?"

The older turtle sighs as he climbs off of Raphael and off the bed, grabbing both off the younger turtles hands. "Come on, lets go get breakfast." And of course doesn't bother to answer the question.

Once they are dressed and reach the kitchen they find Mikey, who had just finished a BIG breakfast. "Morning brothas! I hope your hungry." He smiles handing the two of them plates. "Because breakfast is served." The orange banded turtle practically sings. Raph chuckles, he really missed his little brother. Although he would never admit it, he can't seem to go a day with out hearing the freckled turtles voice and dumb jokes. It is never a normal day with out a little bit of Michelangelo.

"Looks good Mike." The hothead smiles and rubs the top of his little brothers head then walks over to the French toast, putting three on his plate.

"Did April and Casey leave?" Leo asks pouring some tea into his cup.

"Yeah they left earlier once they knew Karai was ship shape again. They said they will be back later today though with some Antonio's because we are gonna PARTAY!" Mikey dances over to the bacon placing five strips on his plate.

Donnie walks out of his lab and into the kitchen with his empty cup of coffee in his hand. "Oh, good your up." He pours himself a refill. "I am going to need you right in my lab straight after breakfast, Raph. Karai is sleeping but once Master Splinter got that brain worm out last night she let me do a quick check up on her, and I gotta say I'm a little surprised, she looks fantastic."

"The brain worm is out? And she is one hundred percent back to herself? No mutant snake or nothing?" Leo's attention is only on the tall genius, as he can't seem to stop asking about his sister as he is sitting at the table fork ready in his hand to eat but almost gets up to head where ever Karai is.

"She is one hundred percent human and healthy, and before you even think about it no. She needs sleep Leo. She doesn't remember much about being a mutant but she remembers Saki finding her and taking her again. Master Splinter had her go lay down in his room a few minuets after she told me, that's all I know." Leo takes a deep breath finally relaxing a bit and finally allows himself to eat. The gap tooth turtle put a hand on his older brother knowing he hasn't eaten since Raph was missing, and the doctor in him needs all his patients good and healthy. He had to tell Leo everything he knew or else Leo would be busting up in Splinters room asking questions.

It feels like it has been years since Leo last saw Karai when she swam off as a mutant snake. He has been so worried about her since. To Leonardo, Karai used to be his best friend. Yes he did have a little crush on her but then Raph started dating Mona and he couldn't control how that made him feel. It was like he had to try everything he could to get his little brothers attention back on him that he started falling for the hothead himself. Now Karai is like the little sister he has always wanted. He wants to protect her and make sure she is safe at all costs. He really has missed her.

Mikey pulls out a chair and joins his older brothers at the table. "I'm so glad we finally have our sister back dudes. She is gonna LOVE it here!" The youngest turtle smiles at his plates of food in front of him.

Raph can't help but frown at the way Leo was acting. Does he have feelings for Karai? I thought he liked me? Am I really getting jealous? The hothead jabs at his French toast with his fork. I'm really glad Miwa is back to herself, really I am. But things are going to be different around here now that she will be living with us. I'm not sure if I'll be able to handle it if she is all over Leo.

After I finished eating I went straight into Don's lab, can't keep the doctor waiting forever. "Have a seat Raph." The genius says with out even turning around from his computer. I do as I'm told and sit on the stool next to the table as he grabs his doctor tools.

"I already drew a vial of your blood last night, but I'm gonna have to do one more just to be sure the brain worm is all the way out of your system." Donnie states grabbing my arm looking at the stitches. I roll my eyes "Ya know I hate needles Don."

"It's just one vial it will take three minuets tops, don't be a wimp." His thumb rubs against the stitches on my left arm. "Luckily who ever stitched you up did a good job so I wont have to re-due the stiches. Are you feeling any pain?"

"Nah. I'm just a lil' sore is all." The emerald turtle leans his head on the wall looking up at the ceiling preparing himself for the needle the purple masked turtle is preparing.

He growls when he feels it pinch his arm and keeps staring at the small crack on the wall. The emerald turtle can't stop his thoughts from going to the way Leo acted at breakfast. He was so tense the second Donnie mentioned Karai's name. He is probably in Sensei's room right now talking to her.

"Earth to Raphael!"

The hothead jumps, almost falling off of the stool. "What'd ya say Don?"

"I'm done, you are all good to go. Your blood work looks normal and you need to rest for two weeks, which means NO physical activity until then. I want you to take these pain meds today." Donnie hands two white pills and a glass of water to his older brother, Raph takes them and swallows both the pills in one drink. "And stop worrying about Leo and Karai."

Raphael's eyes nearly pop out of there sockets. "How'd ya know I was.."

"I've lived with you my whole life Raph, I can tell when something is bothering you." The gap toothed turtle cuts him off. "Plus I saw your face when Leo was freaking out at breakfast."

"Well shit Don. I don't know what ta do 'bout this. After all these years Leo is finally mine and I might already have lost him. I always knew he liked her." His golden eyes move down to his feet.

"Sure he might like Karai, but he loves you." A small smile appears on Donnie's face. "And its about damn time you two admitted it to each other. You should have seen him when you were missing, he was like a whole different person. Leo needs you Raphael." Raph looks up at his little brother and smiles, "Thanks D."

"I knew you'd be the first turtle to come in here." Karai's voice sounds tired.

"I had to." Leo smiles closing Splinter's sliding door behind him and sits down next to the kunoichi.

"How'd you get past Splinter?" She points her thumb to the dojo where her rat father is meditating.

"When he is in deep mediation its easy." The leader shrugs. "How are you feeling?" She sighs leaning on the wall, "Better I guess."

"Can't sleep?" Leo lifts an eye ridge. He knows that to well, it has taken the blue masked turtle months of trying to sleep without having nightmares about losing his team. "Hell no. Every time I close my eyes I see fath- Shredder coming after me. I remember kidnaping Raphael. I couldn't stop myself Leo. I knew it was wrong and I knew what Shredder was gonna do to him, I watched it all happen." Her knees curl up to her stomach and she puts her head on them.

"It's not your fault Karai. Don't blame yourself for any of it. None of us are blaming you, the only one to put this on is Shredder and Mona." Leo puts a hand on her shoulder.

"But I trained her Leo. I taught her everything about Raph so she would know how to manipulate him." Her voice cracks.

Leo blinks taking this all in. As much as he wants to be mad at Karai he just can't because this wasn't her. She was under mind control. "Miwa," He grabs her chin and makes her look at him. "I need you to understand this." He stops making sure he has her full attention. "That wasn't you. None of it was you." Leo pulls her into a hug. She isn't much of a hugger but damn she needed one. Miwa held onto Leonardo for a long time and neither one of them said a word. It was a comfortable silence.

"Thanks Leo." She let go of her brother and smiled.

"I'm glad your home." The leaf green turtle smiles back.

"Its good to be back." She sits crossing her legs. "So when we kidnaped Raph, he had a hickey on his neck," She pauses and Leo scratches his neck chuckling. "Yeah, well that's what happens when your with your mate, Karai..."

She couldn't help the big grin on her face, "I always knew you two had a thing going on! I'm really happy for you guys."

Leo bites his lip smiling with pink cheeks "Thank you." He gets up ready to go find his mate, knowing Donnie he probably had to draw some blood, Raphael hates needles. "You should probably try and get some more rest." The leader says as he heads for the door.

"I'll try." She smirks at the blue masked turtle. Right before he leaves she stops him. "Oh and Leo?" He turns his head back looking at her.

"Just call me Miwa from now on, okay?"

Leonardo smiles "Okay, Miwa."
