Back at the Lair now 2:45 a.m.
Master Splinter's P.O.V.
Deep in meditation I was in peace until an overwhelming sense of danger and fear but not for myself. "My sons!" I exclaimed as I quickly rose to my feet from the wooden floor of the Dojo and gathered my staff briskly.
'I must find my sons!' as I thought, I located the medical kit and started to dial Leonardo on the phone. The phone rang and rang for a long period of time causing my worry to grow, spreading its roots further into my spirit.
I feared for my family as it rolled into voice mail, "Please leave a message and I will call back immediately. Thank you for your understanding and patience. Beep!"
Shaking my head I hung up and dialed the number again hoping my son would pick up. In mid dial the door to our was thrown open open as open as my son and a complete stranger rushed in carrying the rest of my family.
"Master...Splinter...we were ambushed...Don, Raph...and Mikey...they're all poisoned...all my fault...I wasn't being careful enough." Leonardo coughed and slumped over trying to explain but it can wait, my sons needed medical assistance, I felt strange around the cloak figure who layed my sons on the couch.
"My son who have you brought to our home without warning?" Concerned I gently asked as I helped my eldest son to a chair.
"That's...him...the Bloody Demon...he helped us..." I raised an eyebrow as I tended to Leonardo's injuries, listening to what had happened while they were on the surface.
Afterwords, when he had finished his tale I gave him a unique tea from another part of the world that would bring healing to his injured body and dispose of the poison. I paused at the silence coming from the Bloody Demon and turned to him in the shadowed corner of the room against the wall.
"Are you injured as well?" I asked gently as I received no response from him. I studied him for a moment, for something was not right. His aura and chi were not surrounding him as it should. That was very unsettling...had he died when I was treating my son?
"Bloody Demon are you unwell?" I asked again as I approached him, taking caution with every step. When I was within two feet of him, he twitched and his aura and chi flooded like a tsunami into him. It was very strange, for I have never heard of an aura do such a thing to that extreme. It was almost as if...the soul came down from heaven, returning to it's body as if it were dead.
"...ohh..." He groaned as his form shook and trembled as the soul settled back to where it belonged.
"Bloody Demon?" I question with curiosity as the soul reminded me of my beloved Master Yoshi.
"My son...why do you call me that? Do you not recognize my spirit? It is I...Hamato Yoshi." said the figure that was once the Bloody Demon.
My ears did not hear wrong, but...it was impossible. My Master in the flesh? How can it be?
"Splinter my son, please, listen to me carefully...I need you...to protect this young one as you did for the other four you have raised. This is not my body nor have I come back from the dead. This young one called to me out of fear. I have tried to raise him by the guidance of my spirit but he is still fearful and often flees his own body. The one you call 'Bloody Demon' is the living body without the soul. It will do anything to save itself. Please...I beg you my student...help him. He has your answers..." My Master said as his spirit was replaced by another.
"I will honor your request Master." I whispered as I watched the figure twitched again and became a whole being. What an odd turn of events.
"...who did I hurt this time sir?" bitterly muttered the young voice.
Author note: I changed chapter one so it would make a little more sense. I love it when readers tell me what they think, the good and the bad. So please review! Thanks!
