Raphael's P.O.V
"Are you sure I can't go in the room with you guys?" Leo grumbled as he stood awkwardly at the door. I let out a deep breath as Sensei once again turned back to face Leo. Once Mikey was okay enough that Donnie said he wasn't in shock anymore, Sensei wanted to take this matter right away to Mika. I didn't want to see her. I didn't even wanna go back to that house.
What if I blew my only chance to be happy? To live with Sensei, Leo, and Don? What if they sent me away? But the more I think about it the more I realize that if it came to it, and I'm not just being dramatic, but if it came to it I would gladly hurt Shawn again because of what he did to Don and Mike..I would kill him if I had too, no second thoughts.
"I'm sure, my son. This is a matter between Raphael, Michelangelo, and Donatello." Sensei answered while looking concrite. Leo sighed. Leo wanted so much to be in the room with us. I didn't care much, but I could tell Mikey and Don wanted him there. Sensei believed that since Leo wasn't involved that he didn't need to be there. But in my opinion Mika would listen more if the story came from Leo. "Let us hurry and get this buisness dealt with."
"Why are we in such a hurry?" Mikey asked curiously as he stumbled down the steps. Donnie was already down with me because I helped him. He would glance at the black medical boot in fustration and then the crutches. It was the first time he'd ever had crutches or so he told.
"Because the longer we take witht his matter the worse it looks," Sensei smiled slightly as he patted Mikey's head. I watched Don, Mike, and Sensei go ahead tot eh car. Leo sighed while locking up and for some reason I waited on him.
"You okay?" He asked after blinking insurprise when he saw me there.
"Just peachy," I gruffed while crossing my arms. I was surprised when I felt his arm around my shoulder. He was giving me a smile.
"Did I mention that it was totally cool what you did to Shawn?" Leo grinned even more at my shocked expression.
"What tha hell-I mean...you're tha noble type so why do ya think it's cool?" I asked and watched as Leo rolled his eyes. We heard Mikey yelling for us and laughed together when he reached the front seat to honk the horn at us. Sensei reprimanded him and we heard Donnie laughing.
We began marching to the car. "Let's just say you did what I wanted to do myself." I grinned after Leo as he crawled in the front seat and stuck his tounge out at a mutinous Mikey. I laughed and crawled in the back seat, squishing Mikey in the middle of me and Don.
"Why am I always in the middle? I call for a crisis redemption!" Mikey cried and I rolled my eyes. Leo snorted and Donnie grinned. Sensei just sighed as he started the car and ignored us. I thought that it was pretty funny.
"What in the world are you talking about?" Donnie asked. Mikey turned to him with serious eyes and it took all my willpower not to grin.
"It's because I'm small, isn't it?" He crabbed. Donnie continued to grin and I rolled my eyes.
"Duh, you're tha only one that will fit in the middle!" I argued and he turned to me with a betrayed look. I face palmed.
"I'm just as powerful as the rest of you!" Mikey grumbled. Leo turned to us with an eyebrow quirked and for whatever reason Donnie laughed.
"Did you give him painkillers or something Don?" Leo joked and Donnie shook his head. Mkey sighed like he was disapointed in us and sat back with crossed arms.
"Just trying to lighten the mood," Mikey muttered. I saw Don's smile vanish and Leo blinked in surprise. I just sighed a little and turned my head to look out the window. "Wow, the air feels heavy..."
"Well hey, I got something...did you ever realize that Raph and Leo have the same amber flicks in their eyes?" Donnie piped up. The car jerked and we all shrieked in surprise. "S-Sensei?"
"Sorry, my children," Sensei apologized and Leo laughed nervously.
"Yer saying we got tha same eyes?" I rose an eyebrow at Donnie and watched Leo look at me.
"Mhmm, well yours are green with amber flicks and Leo's is blue with amber flicks...just thought that was interesting.." Donnie hummed in thought. I nearly gasped when Mikey grabbed my arm to look into my eyes.
I growled and pushed him away while he laughed. "You're right D!"
"Of course I am," Donnie smirked. Sensei chuckled at that and Leo grinned. "Wanna know something else I've observed?"
"Yes!" Mikey beamed and I rolled my eyes then continued to stare out the window at the other cars in traffic.
"Me and Leo have the same styling of hair..ours are straight and brown." Donne said and I looked at him in surprise. Leo blinked. I found myself looking at both of them to see if it were true and it was.
"Woah..." Mikey admired as he bounced in place. "Mine and Raph's are blonde and wavy!" I stared at him at my inclusion in this. But it was true.
"There are many things that you boys share that you could discover," Sensei spoke up randomly and mysteriously. Leo looked a bit miffed, Don looked calculative, Mikey looked excited and I just stared. What the shell did that mean?
"Sometimes you frighten me, Sensei," Leo commented while Sensei and Mikey laughed.
"You will learn in good time that all is not always what it seems..." He trailed off in reply and we just shared looks with each other.
And after he said that things began to quiet down, even for Mikey.
0o0o0o0o0o0o
We stepped out of the car and I watched Sensei help Donnie stand until he was able to balance himself on his crutches. Leo reached my side and Mikey trailed behind us silently.
As soon as we got near the door it flung open. A pissed and worried looking Mika was there. "Raphael, there you are! I-oh..." She noticed the others. She blinked ni surprise.
"Hello madam," Sensei smiled and I watched in slight amusement as Mika blushed. "I brought Raphael back here and I was hoping to talk to you in private. My name is Hamato Yoshi."
"P-Pleased to meet you," She blinked in reply. She scanned me and I just scowled. She smiled at Donnie, Leo and Mikey and moved out of the doorway. "Please follow me then Hamato-san."
"Thank you," Sensei smiled politely as we all filed in. I watched as Mika led us upstairs, the other kids stopping to stare at us. Mika led us into her study room. We filed in silently and she closed the door. She whirled around and went to her desk to sit. "I'm sorry this is so short notice but I'm sure you know why I am here."
Leo looked pleased that he was in the room with us and I rolled my eyes. Mika pursed her lips unhappily as Sensei sat down in a chair in front of her. "I do know why. I got a call from the hospital about Shawn. Raphael, what the hell were you thinking?"
Donnie and I were more thansurprised that she cursed in front of Sensei let alone at all. I glared. "He was hurting my friend."
"Your friend? What?" Mika looked surprised. Mikey rose his head up shyly.
"Indeed. This boy, Shawn, attacked Michelangelo. But why don't I let them tell you what they know?" Sensei offered. Mika nodded her head. "Michelangelo?"
Mikey nodded and turned serious, much to our surprise. "I was going to the general store close to Leo's house for some milk and snacks. On my way back I was distracted and ran into Shawn and his friends."
"His freinds that took him to the hospital?" Mika asked in curiousity and Mikey nodded. "So then Shawn attacked you? Why?"
"Well...yeah he wanted to know where Raph was," Mikey explained flicking his eyes to mine. I scowled harder. "I told him that Raph was hanging out with us at Leo's. He got mad about that because he wanted to hang out with Raph. So his friends held me from running and Shawn said Donnie was supposed to warn me."
"Donnie was?" Mika asked surprised and Don looked pale at that information. We didn't know either what Shawn had said to Mikey. "He bullied Donnie too? Honey, why didn't you tell me?"
"I-I...well...I dunno..." Donnie muttered defeatedly and Leo put an arm around him. I felt like killing Shawn right now. I really did.
"Well Shawn was mad because I was struggling and then he punched me in the stomach..." Mikey paused and I felt livid. I noticed Leo and Don stiffen too. We did not know that little part. "And my face for other times I stood up to him. Then he had a switchblade and...and I...was scared he'd hurt me..."
I put a hand on his shoulder absentmindly while Mika took one look at me and darted her gaze. She looked shocked but not nearly enough. Sensei encouraged Mikey to continue.
"I said I was gonna tell Raph. I'd hope he would leave after that but he just got more mad and said Raph wouldn't believe me." Mikey said and I fought hard to not blurt how much of a big pile of shit that was. "He kept saying he was giving me a warning and I was mad cause he kept callin' me "Baby"."
"Did he use the switchblade on you?" Mika asked with dark eyes as she looked at Mike's forehead. Mikey nodded and looked a bit paler so I squeezed his shoulder.
"He got mad and he cut me here. But everyone was surprised that he did, like it was a heat of the moment thing..." Mikey added quickly. I hated that it almost sounded like he was defending Shawn's actions. But Mikey did, as I figured out soon, have a heart of gold. "His friends let me go when Raph and Leo showed up to get me. They both were mad too."
"Raphael?" Mika turned to me with wide eyes. I sighed angrily.
"I saw the blood first," I began and watched Leo shiver. "Head wounds tend to look worse than they are but I saw the blood. It was worse because Mikey looked so scared. So when I seen the blood on Shawn's switchblade, I acted first."
"You beat him up because you thought he hurt your friend..." Mika stated outloud but I couldn't help myself.
"I beat the shit outta him because he did hurt my friend!" I blurted in anger. Mika looked startled, Sensei gave me a reprimanding look but the guys were smiling at me. It was werid. "Look, I'm not lying. I don't regret what I did to Shawn. He desrved it. He almost took out Mikey's eye! He was going to hurt Don too!"
"What?!" Mika cried and looked to Donnie, who shifted uneasily. "Donatello?"
"H-He threatened me...and a few times he'd punch me or kick me but he never went far...except verbally..." Donnie muttered and I clenched one of my hands. Mika looked sad and still shocked. "He threatened to hurt Mikey and then Leo if I tried to tell Raph the truth."
"Oh my God..." Mika breathed with a hand to her mouth. "I need to report this to the agency and the police..-"
"Police?" Leo blinked in surprise and blushed when he realized he cut her off. "Sorry."
"Shawn is a minor so when the hospital called of course they wanted to investigate what happened to him. Raph and Mikey would only have to answered questions. You too, Leo." Mika smiled a little but I tensed.
"We understand," Sensei replied politely. "Madam, if I may ask...you run the household, correct?" Mika smiled and nodded. "Then you must know my plans to adopt Donatello and Raphael?"
"Of course! I was so happy but then worried about what this beating meant for Raphael," Mika frowned and I scowled hard.
"I would like to demand, if it may happen, that Shawn be moved to a different foster home." Sensei spoke up with a seious look. "He has threatened the good health of the children here as well as a promise to threaten my own son and Donatello is a witness to that. I want him removed instead of Raphael, in case the angency ever considered of removing him."
"Of course I'll put in a good word but if the story you are telling is true then of course it would be Shawn the one that is transferred." Mika explained seriously. My heart umped in my chest and Mikey beamed. Donnie literally gave out slightly on Leo ,who blinked in surprise and had to hold him up. Mika giggled at our reactions. "I do hope you realize, Raphael, defense or not you still attacked Shawn but not on your own self defense. This will get you into trouble."
I shrugged. "When am I not in trouble?" Mika giggled and Sensei smiled.
"Shawn definitely cannot stay in a foster house where he bullies another child." Mika frowned and Donnie blushed. "Do you have any evidence of his bullying by chance?"
"I do..." Donnie looked down sadly and I gritted my teeth. Even Mikey looked mad. "He wrote all over one of my favorite books with hurtful comments."
Mika nodded angrily. "Well when the agency investigates make sure you keep that as evidence. I'd take a picture of Mikey here so they could know what he did to him."
"S-So...Raph can stay here with us..?" Mikey asked nervously, twisting the hem of his shirt. I actually smiled a little at that.
"I will make sure of it," Mika winked and I decided I had never liked her more than I did in this moment.
"Thank you Madam, you have been most helpful." Sensei smiled. He turned to us. "Why don't you all wait in the car and I'll take us to the police station. Leonardo, take pictures of Michelangelo's injuries."
"Hai, Sensei," We replied on instinct. Donnie and I blushed when Mika grinned at us but we left hte room with Mikey grumbling about having to lift his shirt to see the stomach bruise. Behind me I heard Sensei giving Mika his contact number to keep in touch about the agency and adoption process.
"Stop fussing, Mikey," Donnie rolled his eyes as he balanced on his crutches. Mikey pouted and I laughed slightly at the sight. Leo grinned as he snapped a picture of his stomach, his cheek and then his brow though it was bandaged.
"Alright boys," Sensei stepped out with a fond smile. "Mika-san has requested that Donatello and Raphael stay with me until Shawn is transferred. Go pack some clothes."
"YES!" Donnie cried and it surprised me. Leo and Mikey shared a look and flat out laughed as I pushed angrily past them with a blush on my face. I couldnt stay angry long with Donnie chirping in my ear and looking as happy as a fat kid eating candy. I smiled and decided that my day just got better.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
Talking to the police was nerve wrecking but actually not as bad as I thought. Donnie had to wait in the waiting room while Leo, Sensei, Mikey and I were interripgated. I said everything that I had said to Mika, leaving out the part that I didn't feel guilty. Lucky for us Mikey is good with people and those baby blues captured the hearts of those detectives.
Had we been anywhere else I would have laughed till my stomach burst. I wanted too so bad and even Leo looked amused at how Mikey was manipulating the police into liking me and feeling sorry for me. I only talked when I was spoken too.
There were no charges pressed and Mikey refused to press charges himself as long as I didn't get into too much trouble. The police told me this was a warning and that anymore violence would land me in juvenile detention or public service. Oh how I wanted so badly to be sarcastic. But I remained fakely polite for the others' sakes.
We met back up with Don, who was randomly chatting with some old lady who apparently adored him. I promise you this time I finally let one rip. I laughed well into even the car ride to the noodle shop Sensei had discovered for us to eat dinner. He'd wanted to introduce us to Mr. Murkami-san, a really kind and amazing good cooker for a blinde guy, who in return introduced us to a Japanese version of a pizza pocket which he called "pizza gyoza". The guys and I fell in love immediately.
After we ate and arrived home Don and I unpacked. We all took turns in the shower and made a pallet in teh floor by the TV. We had promised Sensei we wouldn't stay up late but we kinda did. Donnie was the first one out for whatever reason and I remember Leo laughing at Don's eagerness to finally go back to school.
The only thing I could think about was how much I didn't want to go to school. Hopefully Shawn wasn't there, I doubt it. I didn't want to see his friends either. I knew that if I lost my temper again I could very well be taken from these guys.
And that's the last thing I want.
00o0o0o0o0o0o0o
"Raph?"
I turned to the doorway to my guest bedroom to see Fearless standin' there lookin' mysterious and quite creepy. I rose an eyebrow as I tugged my black tanktop with red stripes down. "Yea?"
"I need you to do me a favor," He suddenly looked so serious and I just blinked. I finally turned around, slung my school bag over my shoulder, and then scowled as I crosse dmy arms.
"What's this favor?" I asked and I fought the urge to flinch back when his cobalt blue eyes, with amber flicks now that Donnie just had to point that out, stared at me with an unreadable expression. Wasn't he just serious a moment ago?
"About Shawn...if we see him-"
"I'm not goin' ta start anythin' Fearless, don't worry," I waved him off while rolling my eyes. But Leo didn't look amused or relieved or anything, just more serious and kinda annoyed.
"No, not that. I need you to make sure I don't do anything if he's there," Leo replied flatly, his fists clenching around the strap of his own school bag. I felt a flash of surprise until I took in his appearance and everything I know about him.
I laughed. He looked surprised this time. "Sure, Fearless, whateva ya say!" I grinned as I pushed him out of the room and met up with Don and Mikey. For some reason the fact that Leo wanted my help with control over what he may or may not do to Shawn was downright hilarious and sort of adorable. I won't ever let him know that.
We were considerate of our time and of Don's crutches on our way to school. He was slower, not that it was his fault, and we had to make sure we got to school on time. Not like I care anyway but Mikey freaked out about missing school because of what his Mom would say and Leo's a teacher's pet I'm sure. Or he's just a goody-two-shoes. Both.
I scanned Mike and Don on the way there, not failing in realizing that they were close together, stuck in the middle of me and Leo like we were in some formation. A protective formation. Leo must have shared my thoughts because he smirked when I looked at him. He was wearing a blue plaid shirt and jeans, his dark brown hair was a bit messed up already from the wind, which was totally funny!
Don glanched over at me ever so often as if he was literally making sure I was there. He was wearing those stupid thin black reading glasses, as if his social status depended on that. Not to be weird or anything but Don's a pretty good looking guy, just like the rest of us. I don't see how he looks nerdy or why he feels he needs to be pressured into this image everyone set upon him. Don settled with tan pants, white shirt and that favorite purple pullover jacket of his. He had the sleeves rolled up.
Mike was overly exited for someone that dealt with alot of drama in the last 24 hours. But I guess he wouldn't be Mikey if he wasn't. He seemed to be reluctant to leave mine or Donnie's side since yesterday, not that we're complaining. Mikey, I'd die before I told a soul, looked like some sort of adorable elementary schooler, though that drives him crazy. He was wearing a tan boggin hat on his blonde head, a blue jean jacket with black seams, a white shirt like Don, and dark blue jeans. Kid had style, kinda like me except where as mine is "tough" his baby blues and blonde hair make him look so much younger.
"-ph...earth to Raph?" I blinked in surprise, offically out of my thoughts. Don was worriedly waving one hand in front of my face. I scowled, grabbed it and gently pushed it away.
"What?"
"You...just stopped walking..." Donnie cocked his head at me and beside me I seen two pairs of differently colored blue eyes staring at me intently.
"Oh," I blinked stupidly this time. When had I stopped walking? Leo frowned and stepped closer.
"You okay?" He asked and I rolled my eyes.
"I'm fine, jeez...just got lost in thought," I answered while pushing past them and looking back. They looked surprised, suspicious and still concerned, looking much like any real brother would. I groaned. "I'm okay, can we just get ta school?"
"Sure..." Leo looked at Don and Mikey. They both shrugged and began walking with me. I shifted my gaze when Leo joined us except out earlier formation was broken and Leo was the one beside me. But no one questioned me after that.
When we arrived to school Mikey was mutinous to leave Donnie's side, much to his amusement, but Leo offered to take Donnie to the office to drop off his doctor excuse for his absence so that left me with the kid. Mikey seemed okay with Leo escorting Donnie and blabbered in my ear the whole time we got ready for our first half of the day classes.
"Which is why I pefer comics over manga, you know?" Mikey's blabbering brought me back and I rolled my eyes.
"Not much of a difference," I gruffed and he just stared at me. "What?"
"You seem very distracted. Are you sure nothing's wrong?" He asked while narrowing his eyes. I rolled mine.
"Yes, I'm sure. What are ya a detective?" I grumbled and almost laughed at the way his eyes lit up at the idea alone. I chuckled.
"That's great!" He cheered and I playfully pushed his shoulder. Looking around I saw no sign of Shawn or his gang of friends. Thank God, I don't know what I would have done..."Raph?"
"Yeah?" I looked down at Mikey, who was actually only a inch and a half shorter than me, and was startled to see a slightly upset look in his eyes. Had he seen any of them and I hadn't?!
"You...you would tell me if something was wrong right?" He asked in almost a shy tone, twisting his fingers nervously. "C-Cause...it seems like you don't trust us..."
I growled. "What? What gave ya that idea?!"
"Well you keep lying to us and sayin' nothings wrong!" Mikey pouted and I crossed my arms and glared. His gaze softened. "We're just really worried bout you..."
I sighed and uncrossed my arms. "Look, Mikey, I appreciate it, I do. But I'm fine, I'm just thinkin' alot..."
"If you say so..." He looked down and before I had the chance to think about it I slung one arm around tha kid, but I suddenly didn't care if anyone else saw. If I don't put Mikey at ease now it'll bother me.
"Thamks fer worryin' bout me. I'm okay," I muttered cooly. He blinked and I let him go as I gave his back a small push. "See ya at lunch."
"Uh, ya, okay.." He smiled and waved bye to me. I sighed in relief and waved back, receiving looks that I glared at. It was worth it to see the bounce back in my little buddy's walk.
I sighed as I turned around and walked to my own class with my hands in my pockets. I looked around and avoided anyone's glances. I wondered how Don and Leo were doing...was Don doing okay?
"They're lettin' 'im out of the hospital this afternoon," A voice drifted from a hallway to my right. I froze and my breath hitched in my throat. That..that was...no way. I looked around the corner. My eyes widened to see Oliver and two other of Shawn's friends standing there secretly. "He was in pretty bad shape."
"Yea, Raph really did a number on 'im. He's scared shitless of seein' him," The skinny red head one said. I felt sick satisfaction in hearing how scared Shawn was of me. Not sure how long that will last though. Shawn's a pretty tough guy.
"Yea, I hate what he did to him. He didn't mean to cut the kid..." Oliver grumbled angrily. I clenched my fists. Yeah right...if he didn't mean to do it he wouldn't have. "I want to show that red gangster wannabe a thing or two for what he did to Shawn! They were friends longer than those skinny losers!"
I nearly growled at loud at that last part. Who the hell did Oliver think he was?! And I'd LOVE to see him try to start something with me. Hell...
"We can't hurt Raph, he'd kill us!" The other slightly fat black haired guy said fearfully and I smirked a little. I looked around to see if anyone recongized me here but no one cared or spoke up.
"No, but we can get even with him," Oliver replied and my blood suddenly ran cold in my viens. That doesn't mean what I think it does...? So help me Jesus... "Obviously we can't try that blonde baby again...Raph'll be keepin' an eye on him."
Damn straight!
"Same with the nerd," The skinny red head sighed. I crossed my arms as I leaned against the wall and listened to them. What do I do? Listen and walk away? Listen and threaten them? I obviously couldn't do anything I'd normally do. I almost sighed out loud.
"Yeah, but we could jump the blue boy," Oliver pointed out and I went rigid. What...the...HELL?! "But he's strong too..."
"Gang up on him when he's alone..?" The black haired one suggested.
"I have a better idea that involves my big brother. I'll call him and lie to rile him up so he'll want to rough up that blue boy..."
I growled out loud this time and clenched my fists. But before I was caught I vanished from their sight and barely made it to my class on time. I was seething. I was fucking livid! Did they really think they could hurt Leo?! Who was Oliver's "big brother"? Damn it all!
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
Lunch literally couldn't come fast enough. I rushed and pushed past people. I didn't care to stop at the lockers to switch books or anything. I just needed to find the guys, NOW! Like now, now, now!
I stopped short at the doors when I seen Casey there. He waved me over with a smirk and I growled. "Casey, ya seen Fearless?!"
"Huh?" His smirk vanished and he blinked. "Raph, you okay? Wait...Leo?"
"Yeah, peachy, where is he?" I demanded and he looked up, something he does when he actually thinks.
"Um, not sure, dude. I think he was with Mike last I saw 'em," He shrugged and I grit my teeth. "Raph, what's goin' on?"
I told Casey everything from what he missed, what I discovered about Shawn, to what just happened. The whole time he had a constant pissed scowl on his face and I couldn't help but wonder if that's what I look like constantly.
Casey was suddenly laughing, doubled over. I blinked twice. How the hell was any of this funny?! "Dude, he wants to jump Leo? I can just picture it now, how it all goes down!"
I paused at that. I had been so worried and angry that I hadn't even thought about the absurdity of it all. I smirked and chuckled to myself at the imagery of Fearless standin' there with his katana blades, an overly confident look on his face but I imagined his hero complex, like Superman or something, a cape flowing behind him. My chuckles increased into full blown laughter.
"Hey guys, what's so funny?" Don's voice trailed off into confusion. We were still laughing when he came up on his crutches.
"Just imagin' Fearless in a superman cape," I answered and Casey wailed, causing some attraction. Donnie looked so done with us and confused that I chuckled again.
"Aw did I miss some funny joke?!" We turned to see Mikey bounce in the room with Leo and April trailing behind. I knew he could handle himself, hell he'd helped me before, but I was still relieved to see him. Any tension I had left exited my body.
Mikey nearly had a stroke when Casey told him what I said about Leo and Superman, where as Leo was so embarrassed and annoyed with me beyond belief. It was hilarious to push his buttons!
We all grabbed some lunch and sat down. I ate silently and watched all my friends talk and laugh around me. Should I tell Leo? I should right? But should I do it now...or what?
I ended up not telling him and it was fustrating to fight with myself. After lunch I had to use my other notebooks for my last classes, which was more than annoying. I hardly paid attention in my classes and decided that I would tell Leo everything after school. I had to admit that I was worried about whatever Oliver had planned with this big brother of his.
"Raph!" I gasped when Mikey jumped on my back, causing us both to stumble. I growled and hit him upside the head. "Ow!"
"Knucklehead," I commented while watching Donnie aproached us with April. I didn't see Casey or Leo and mildly panicked. "Where's Case and Fearless?"
"Leo's helping Casey take some books to the library. He told us to meet out front. But he should already be there." April smiled as he helped Donnie carry his books. I noticed the blush on Don's face and fought a knowing grin.
"Let's go find him," I snapped as I turned.
"Woah, Raph, some of us can't go that fast," Donnie teased a bit worriedly and I ignored it for now. "Raph? Why have you been asking about Leo so much?"
"Yeah, it's weird," Mikey commented from beside me. I scowled them but kept on marching. "We deserve answers, dude!"
I growled and rubbed my face. I told them everything, slowing my pace only slightly so Donnie could keep up. I watched as April's eyes widened in surprise while Don's and Mike's widened in horror.
"What?! Let's goo!" Mikey cried as he soared ahead of us. I laughed a little at his enthusiam and rushed after him. April stayed behind with Donnie since he couldn't exactly rush, which I heard him grumble about.
I spotted Mikey at the entrance of the school, halfway down teh stairs. I frowned when I noticed he was frozen. I darted after him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Mikey? Mikey, whats-"
I followed his eyesight and choked. Leo and Casey were backed up against the stone wall with this huge ass guy standing in front of them. He towered over them and he didn't look friendly. His hair was black and spiky, he wore a black muscle shirt that practically should have ripped under the guys arms. He wore blue jeans and black fingerless gloves.
"Leo!" I yelled as I jumped over the stairs and heard Mikey darting after me. Leo's eyes met mine and widened slightly, Casey looked a bit frightened but more angry than anything. Then the mystery guy turned and his turquoise eyes locked on me. I froze where I stood.
"Hello Raphael," He smiled and my heart beat a mile a minute and the sudden familiarness of him. Then suddenly his smile was gone and he looked angry again but like he was containing it.
"S-Spike?" I gasped in surprise.
Ahhhh terrible! I brought Spike in now! XD Yay? Nay? Lol find out soon! I'm sure some of you already have theories! I'll try to make the next chapter longer becaue I'm challenging myself! :D
Thanks for any and all support! Hope you all review!
STAY AWESOME! ;3
