Amanda left the infirmary, feeling confused and dazed. What the hell is wrong with me? she thought. It was just kissing which I didn't want, but damn, Raphael was such a good kisser and I kind of liked it when he "marked" me. Maybe I do kind of like him, but... Not looking where she was going, she bumped into Leo. "Hey there," he said. "You okay?"
Amanda glanced up and stared into his sapphire eyes. "I'm fine, Leo. I think I'm going home."
"But it's late."
"I can catch a cab."
Leo sniffed the air. Raphael's scent was about. Musky, mixed with gasoline. Pure alpha male. He'd know that smell anywhere. It seemed to be coming from her. Leo stared at her. Then his eyes clouded as he took in the marks on her neck and shoulder. "Did he touch you?" Leo demanded.
"No... I..."
"Don't lie to me. Tell me the truth. Did my brother touch you?"
"Yes, but..."
"Did you stop him?" Leo asked, pain flickering on his face.
"Look, Leo. I don't want..."
"Come with me. Now."
"Leo, what are you doing?" Leo ignored her, picked her up bridal style and carried her to his room. "Let me go, Leo!"

Leo opened the door to his bedroom, locked the door and set her down on his bed. She immediately leapt up and said, "What are you doing?"
"I think you know," Leo said in a seductive tone. "I want you."
"Because he touched me? I'm not a toy to fight over. Damn it, Leo!"
Leo ran his fingers up and down her arms, pulled her close, cupped her face to his and kissed her. Amanda responded, kissing him back, her hands roaming over his well-developed body, learning every inch of him. Leo picked her up and set her down on the bed, trailing feather light kisses on her neck and shoulder. Then he licked her neck and nipped it, marking his scent on her. Uncharacteristically he growled. "You're mine. Not his." Leo made numerous marks, staking his claim. "You're mine." Amanda moaned, but she didn't push him away. Leo got between her legs and was about to pull down her panties, when the door was kicked down and a furious Raphael entered, hands on his hips. "What the fuck do ya think yer doin' Fearless? I got up lookin' for my girl and I smelled her in here. What the hell!"
"What does it look like, little brother?" Leo hissed, standing up and turning on his brother. "I'm going to make love to my girlfriend."
"Yer girlfriend? What? She's mine. Amanda, tell him. Yer mine," Raphael said, looking at her pleadingly. Amanda had gotten up and was sitting with her head in her hands.
"Tell him!" Raphael yelled, shaking her shoulders. "Tell him."
"Let go of her, Raphael!" Leo shouted, taking a step towards him.

Amanda blurted out, unable to meet Raphael's golden eyes, knowing she was going to hurt him, and said, "I'm with Leo. I'm sorry, Raphael. I..."
"Ya fuckin' led me on!" Raphael roared. "How could ya? I opened myself up ta ya and ya just crush my heart without battin' an eyelid. How could I have been so dumb?"
"I didn't mean to," Amanda said, sobbing. "You were sick and so vulnerable and I got scared you were going to hurt yourself again."
"So it was out of pity? But big brother here makes his advances and ya like it? What's he got that I don't? Because it sure as hell ain't a personality. Explain yourself, ya damn asshole, Leonardo!"

"Calm down, little brother," Leo said. "You'll meet someone else."
Raphael whirled on him, his golden eyes flashing dangerously. "Wasn't enough that ya had ta be leader. Now ya got ta take my girl away. My girl. I saw her first and I loved her. Ya knew that and ya still went after her. Ya call yerself a brother? Brothers don't do that!"
"You'd have done the same thing and you're forgetting she wasn't yours. And you'd have been a terrible leader. You're too aggressive."
"I wouldn't have done the same thing. Ya know why? Because I got honor, integrity."
"Honor?" Leo said acerbically. "All you've done is bring dishonor on this family, which is why Dad's sending you to Japan. Maybe you can learn some damn manners and respect there, because everyone is damn sick of you here."
"Everyone or just ya, Fearless?" Raphael snapped. "I bet it was ya who went cryin' ta Dad and told him ta send me away, because ya wanted me far away from her. Yer jealous."
"You aren't honorable, Raphael. Admit defeat and that she's with the better guy. I'll make her happy. You never could! A hot head like you, who's so reckless and who never thinks of others. She's better off with me. I'll give her the life you never could."
"What life? Watchin' Space Heroes and suckin' up ta Dad?"
"Little brother, you could never satisfy her like I could. Suck it up and walk away, little brother. You lost. Just like you lost at being leader. The better turtle won."

That was too much for Raphael. He lunged at Leo and the two wrestled on the ground, trading blows. Amanda screamed. "Stop it! But the brothers continued fighting, until finally Raphael had the upper hand and was on top of Leo, his hands around Leo's throat, squeezing, watching Leo's face drain colour. Even after his suicide attempt and weak as he was, Raphael was still stronger than Leo. Finally Leo's body went limp. Horrified at what he'd done, Raphael stood up, only to see Splinter and his other two brothers in the doorway. "Raphael," Splinter yelled. "You have brought nothing but shame on this family. I want you gone. You have ten minutes to get your things."

Don and Mikey rushed to Leo's side, while all Amanda could do was weep. It's all my fault, she thought. Mine.

"But, Dad. I didn't mean," Raphael said, tears in his eyes. "It was..."
"Silence! That is an order!" Splinter shouted, tapping his cane on the floor. "You are no longer my son. Leave and never return. You are not welcome here."
Tears streamed down Raphael's cheeks, as he turned and fled to his room, not daring to look back at the situation he'd caused.
