A/N: Hey everybody! I hope you like The End Of The Beginning, The Beginning of the End! I finally got my ideas on paper for this chapter. Yay. Well, also, I am still seeing if anyone wants to do a collaboration piece with me! Well… This is the "romantic" chapter, so don't mind if it sucks. Also, something very important also happens in this chapter. Read on people!

Leo POV

Sleep.

So good, but I miss so much while doing this action.

I am about to head into a deep slumber, when I hear talking outside my door.

Wait… Why are there people talking outside my door?

Suddenly silence. Then footsteps. I close my eyes to make it look like I am fast asleep, even though I am very far from falling asleep now.

The door opens, more footsteps, towards my bed, and a dip on the mattress as whoever came sat down.

I began to flutter my eyes, to make it look like I just woke up.

Sukei looks at me, tears flowing freely down her cheeks, and begins to stroke my cheek.

Raph POV

Okay, that was really weird.

Why did Sukei just leave like that?

Wait… She's going to go see Leo, wasn't she?

As I was thinking this, Don was trying to calm down Mike, who wanted to see Leo, and Splinter just rolled his eyes at our behavior. I just wanted to go over there and yell at him. I would say things like, 'Why did you hurt my big brother in the worst ways imaginable?' or 'All he wanted was for you to love him and be proud of him!'

You know what?

Maybe I should.

I begin to step towards Splinter at a pretty slow pace.

"Hey, Sensei, can we talk for a minute?"

"Of course, my son." Splinter replied. Mike and Don go silent and look toward us, wanting to know what was up.

"Alone?" I question. Splinter nods, and leads me to his bedroom.

Leo POV

Sukei kept stroking my cheek.

Her face was so close to mine, I could almost touch her… I want to feel her right now. I want to kiss her so badly.

Luckily, as to not cause me any damage, Sukei leaned forward and pressed her lips to mine. I pressed a forward a little harder and she moaned on my lips.

Wait, is this what I wanted?

I pull back a little bit, and she whimpers at the loss.

I look into her silver tearstained eyes with my sapphire eyes. Then my eyes travel lower to lie upon… Her swollen, kissed lips. (A/N: What were you thinking?)

I look back into her eyes. All I see is pure love and concern. A small smile spreads upon my lips, and I kiss her once more.

After a long while of kissing, I leaned back on a pile of pillows behind my shell. Sukei scooted forward and leaned against my plastron. I smiled even wider, if possible, and wrapped my arms around her small waist.

In that position, both of us fall asleep.

Raph POV

"What did you want to talk about, my son?" Splinter asks. My face burns with anger.

"You should know what I want to talk about 'dad'! How can you hurt my brother like that!"

"My son, I do not know what you are speaking of." Sensei states. But I can tell he knows.

"You… you… abused him! How could you do that? You're our father! You are supposed to love each of us!" I spat. He looks at me, face holding an angered expression.

"He had to be punished! He was an awful leader, and an awful example! He was a failure! He still is!" Splinter yells. My eyes widened. No way he just said that!

"Splinter, you are so blind! He has been nothing but a great leader and great example for all of us! You know that all he has ever dreamed of was that you could be proud of him someday? Did you know that he would die just to get you to be proud of him? Did you?" I nearly scream at the top of my lungs. Tears begin to fall out of both of our eyes. I wipe mine away and yell. "Just remember that until you apologize… Neither Leo or I are your sons."

And with that, I storm away, feeling accomplishment.

Once I left stepped into my bedroom, I knew that what I did was the right decision.

A/N: Do you like it? Yes? Then review! Haha, and also, this is actually the last real chapter. The next is the epilogue. I hope you have liked this story.
