Ch 14 The Truth Comes Out
"Hiro," Kito began slowly. "Sore wa fukanō. Hamato Yoshi wa nan-nen mo mae kara shinde iru. Moshi kare ga mada ikite ireba, kare ga nandearu ka o torimodosu tame ni ima modottekitadarou. (That is impossible. Hamato Yoshi has been dead for many years. Surly if he were still alive he would have come back by now to reclaim what is his.")
"Kito ga ōkiku kawatta (A great deal has changed Kito,)" Hiro informed his friend.
"Hiro wa watashi o yurushitekudasai (Hiro please allow me,)" Leo said, causing Kito to look over at him with surprise. "Watashinochichi wa Hamato Yoshi (My father is Hamato Yoshi.)"
"Anata no otōsan? (Your...father?)" Kito asked, unable to hide the surprise and shock in his voice.
"Hai (Yes,)" Leo said. "Watashi no kyōdai to watashi ga totsuzenhen'i o okoshita nen mae, Hamato Yoshi ryō mo sōdeshita. (Fifteen years ago when my brothers and I were mutated Hamato Yoshi was as well.)"
"Dakara kare wa anata no yōna totsuzen no kamedesu ka? (So he is a mutant turtle like you then?)" Kito asked, closing his eyes in an effort to process the information.
"De wanai seikaku ni (Not exactly,)" Leo said. "Watashi wa saisho kara setsumei dekiru yō ni shite kudasai (Please allow me to explain from the beginning.)" With that Leo told Kito exactly what had happened between Hamato Yoshi and Oroku Saki all those years ago and what had happened when Hamato Yoshi came to America. When he was finished he looked over at Kito, who had a bewildered look on his face.
"Kito," Hiro began. "Anata wa nani o kangaete iru nodesu ka? (What are you thinking?)"
"Kore wa totemo kimyōna kotodesu (This..this is all so strange)" Kito said after a few minutes. "Watashi wa masutāshureddā ga sono yōna koto o suru to wa shinji raremasen. (I..I cannot believe that Master Shredder would do such a thing.)"
"Shureddā wa hijō ni waruku kiken'na otokodesu (The Shredder is a very evil and dangerous man,)" Leo declared.
"Kondo wa mina, anata wa maindokontorōru no shita ni iru yōna furi o shite imasu ka? (So all of this time you have been pretending to be under the mind control?)" Kito asked, his voice having a sharp edge to it. Then he whipped his head towards Hiro and said, "Soshite, anata wa daburuējento o ensō shite iru? Sore wa anata ga Hiro o yatte iru hōhōdesu ka? Watashi o baka no yō ni miseru koto ni yotte! (And you have been playing double agent?! Is that how you have been doing things Hiro?! By making me look like a fool?!)"
"Kito Anata ga oroka ni mieru yō ni suru tsumori wa arimasendeshita. (Kito I never intended to make you look foolish,)" Hiro declared. "Soshite, watashi wa anata ni nan'nichi mo ohanashi shite kimashita. Ima made wa kesshite tanoshī jikan wa nakatta. Watashi ni okoranaide kudasai. (And I have been trying to tell you for days. There was just never a good time until now. Please do not be angry with me.)"
"Watashi wa anata ni okotte inai Hiro, (I'm not angry with you Hiro,)" Kito said, his voice low. "Watashi wa sono jōkyō ni ikatteiru. Anata ga iu koto ga shinjitsunaraba, koreha subete o kaemasu. (I'm angry at the situation. If what you say is true then this changes everything.)"
"Dakara anata wa dōi shite iru? (So you are agreed then?)" Hiro asked, relived that his friend wasn't upset with him. "Watashitachiha shin no masutā ga mada ikite iru koto o shitte shureddā ni tsukae tsudzuke raremasen. (We cannot continue to serve the Shredder knowing our true master is still alive.)"
"Hai (Yes,)" Kito said. "Watashi wa Hiro ni dōi shimasu. Soshite watashi wa anata no giman no tame ni anata o bassuru koto wa arimasen. Shikashi sore wa sorehodo tanjunde wa arimasen. (I do agree with you Hiro. And I will not punish you for your deceit. However it is not that simple.)"
"Dōiu imidesu ka? (What do you mean?)" Leo asked, dreading the answer.
"To iu no wa (I mean,)" Kito began. "Watashi wa Keno no gōi mo enakereba naranai. Kare wa watashi to onaji reberu ni ari, watashitachi ga genzai no masutā o aite ni suru tame ni gōi shinakereba narimasen. (That I have to get the agreement of Keno as well. He is at the same level as I am and we must be in agreement in order for us to go against out current master.)"
"Watashi wa keno ga shinjitsu o kiku to, kare wa sore ni sotte iku to kakushin shite imasu, (I am sure that once Keno hears the truth he will go along with it,)" Leo said.
"Watashi wa sore mo kakushin shite iru (I am sure of that as well,)" Kito said. "Shikashi, sono kaiwa wa asa made matanakereba narimasen. Shikashi, Reonarudo o shinpaishinaide kudasai. Watashi wa anata no himitsu o mamori, anata ga mada maindokontorōru no shita ni iru to furi maerudeshou (But that conversation will have to wait until morning. But do not worry Leonardo I will keep your secret and pretend you are still under the mind control.)"
"Arigatōgozaimashita Kito (Thank you Kito,)" Leo said with a bow. "Anata wa meiyo aru hitodesu. (You are an honorable man.)"
"Ashita made (Until tomorrow,)" Kito said, exiting the room with Hiro right behind him. When they were gone Leo tried to get some sleep, hoping tomorrow would be a better day. Little did he know how wrong he was.

Meanwhile back at the lair Raph was having trouble sleeping. Every time the red masked turtle closed his eyes he thought about the horrible things he was saying about Leo and the terrible fight they had had. "That's it I ain't gonna be able to sleep," Raph said out loud as he sat up in his bed. A painful tugging went through his cracked shell but Raph ignored it and got out of bed an walked into the dojo. "Maybe some exercise will make me sleep," he muttered. But when he turned on the lights he was shocked to see Mikey in there. "Mikey?" Raph said, walking over to his youngest brother, who was sitting on the ground with his head down. Raph then realized that his orange masked brother was asleep. "Hey Mikey wake up," Raph said, gently shaking his brother.
"Huh?" Mikey said, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. "Oh hey Raph. Is it morning already?" Mikey let out a yawn when he said this part.
"Nah it ain't morning little brother," Raph said. "Its the middle of the night and you're in the dojo."
"Oh yeah," Mikey said, getting up and stretching. "I couldn't sleep so I came in here. But I guess you couldn't sleep either huh?"
"Yeah," Raph admitted, not looking at Mikey. "I got a lot on my mind."
"Like Leo?" Mikey asked, his voice soft. Raph simply nodded and avoided looking at his youngest brother, not wanting him to see the emotions in his eyes. Mikey noticed this and said, "Raph you don't have to be Mr. Tough Guy around me. And its ok to be missing Leo. I miss him too."
"It ain't that Mikey," Raph said softly, still avoiding eye contact. "Its...its more than that. I..I feel so damn guilty about this whole thing. I mean if I hadn't been such an asshole and fought with Leo like I did then he wouldn't have left. Then none of this would be happenin' right now."
"Raph there's like no way you could have known this was going to happen," Mikey said, putting his hand on his red masked brother's shoulder.
"I've been so stupid Mikey," Raph whispered, looking down at the ground. "I was so damn jealous of Leo I wasn't even thinkin' straight."
"Well you are now bro," Mikey said going in front of his brother and smiling at him. "And once Leo and Hiro tell the other Elite Guards the truth everything will be alright. Then you'll have plenty of time to make things up to Leo."
"I hope you're right little brother," Raph said, looking at Mikey with a slight smile.
"Dude I know I am," Mikey said, his grin widening. Raph couldn't help but smile back and he put Mikey in a head lock and rubbed Mikey's head affectionately.
"You're a knucklehead," Raph said, letting out a slight laugh.
"Takes one to know one bro," Mikey said, putting his arm around Raph. "Feel better?"
"Ya know I do feel a little better," Raph admitted. "But not as good as I'll feel after this whole things is done with."
"I don't know about you but I'm beat," Mikey said with a yawn. "I'm heading to bed."
"Yeah all of a sudden I'm tired too," Raph said with a yawn of his own. "Lets go to bed." With that the two brothers headed to their rooms. Before the entered Raph said to Mikey, "Thanks for the talk little brother."
"Anytime bro," Mikey said with a smile. "Anytime."
"Night Mikey," Raph said.
"Night Raph," Mikey said, letting out another yawn. With that the two brothers entered their rooms to get some much needed sleep.

The next morning Leo was awakened by someone roughly shaking him. "Huh?" the blue masked turtle muttered, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. To his surprise he found himself looking into the angry face of Karai.
"Mistress," Leo said sitting up. "What's going on?"
"I don't know you tell me," Karai said roughly, crossing her arms in front of her.
"I don't understand," Leo said, getting out of bed. "You seam to be angry with me. May I ask what I have done to upset you?"
"Oh not much," Karai said, the sarcasm dripping. "Only play me for a fool!" Leo's eyes widened but he knew he had to play dumb.
"I still don't understand Mistress," Leo began.
"Of cut the shit Leonardo!" Karai cried out. "I know the truth!"
"The truth?" Leo asked, still acting dumb.
"I know you're not really under the mind control!" Karai shouted. "I know you've been playing double agent! And now I'm going to kill you for crossing me!"
