Chapter 11: Regrets
When Raph arrived at his lair later that day he saw that it was slightly trashed and a mess but most of the stuff was how he left it. There wasn't a single mutant or alien in sight, just like King Slash had promised.
Raph sighed and began to clean up the mess.
While Raph was cleaning up he noticed that one of his mirrors was smashed and the pieces were scattered on the floor. When he went to clean the shards up he noticed a poorly drawn picture lying on the floor near the pile of mirror pieces.
It was a drawing of him and Mikey and on the bottom it said 'To my best friend Raphie from Mikey'.
Raph sighed sadly as memories of his last words to the younger turtle played over in his mind. He didn't mean it he was just upset and angry. But it was too late now, Mikey had left forever and proberly would not come back after the way Raphael had treated him.
After Raph had cleaned most of the lair up it was night now and he decided to cook himself some dinner.
But when he got to the dinning room table he saw that one of the mutants or aliens had put a vase on the table. Inside the vase with five beautiful, sweet smelling flowers.
They were the same kind flowers Raph had picked for Leo.
Raphael picked up one of the floors and smiled as memories of his time with Leo filled his brain. But that smile soon vanished when he remembered what he heard Leo and Mikey say that night.
Raph took one last look at the flower in his hand before throwing it on the newly lit fire place in anger...
After Raph had shouted at him like that Mikey walked through the woods aimlessly. Occasionally he would look over his shoulder and hope to see Raph or Leo running behind him, begging him to come back.
But when he saw nothing he would sigh and continue on his way with his head down.
It was starting to get dark and Mikey decided to stop by a river to get a drink. However, a low grumbling filled his ears and when Mikey turned his head to look further down the river he saw Leatherhead!
The giant mutant alligator still had the chandelier around his neck and he looked miserable.
Mikey sighed. He knew that LH wasn't a bad dude, he was just lonely and Mikey felt terrible for leaving him alone in that castle. Mikey took a deep breath and walked over to the alligator.
When LH saw Mikey his sad expression turned into one of pure joy and he nuzzled his long lost friend...
Leo couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt tug at his heart as he lay in his bed that night. King Slash had given him his own room for the night until after the wedding tomorrow then he would have to share a room and bed with Slash.
Leo couldn't help but shudder at that thought.
When he and Slash arrived at the castle it was already sunset and he and Slash talked over dinner. Leonardo learned that they both knew Ninjutsu and came from noble backgrounds but other than that they had nothing in common.
After dinner Leo went to his room he saw two servants and a tailor waiting for him so they could make his wedding outfit.
His wedding outfit was sort of a mix between a bride's dress and a groom's tux. It was silvery white, the top bit looked like a tux but it seemed to mold into a dresses skirt near the waist area.
There was a navy blue ribbon around his waist with a pretty bow in the back and a silver heart-shaped buckle at the front.
He also wore a white veil that went down to his elbows and there was a bit that went over his face. At the top was a silver head band that separated the front and back of the veil and on this head band were small flowers that were five different shades of blue.
He was also given a bouquet made of white roses and blue lisianthus.
Leo did love his outfit and all the other wedding preparations but he just wished it was Raph he was marrying. After the two servants and tailor had left Leo tried to sleep but his mind was over run with his memories of Raph.
Both good and bad...
