Rapheal walked through the outside of the village keep an eye-out for a familiar figure that'll no doubt be crawling back after years of running away and not giving out the answers that he and his other two brothers needed to hear.

Just then, he felt a rain drop hit his nose. Looking up, seeing with his bright green eyes, a now darken sky, he groans in annoyance. The green-eyed man hated rainy weather. Then again heated a lot of things.

Raph kept going, not going to let a little rain stop his daily patrol. Knowing the person, he was searching for he wouldn't let a little rain stop him ether. Guess you can say it's typical family trait?

He walked a bit more until he heard some noises and a sigh. Peering straight ahead, the green-eye man saw in a distance, someone sitting behind a tree, back facing on a trunk and facing him. Must be a tired traveler. He was going to keep going and let the guy rest up since he appeared tired, however when he spotted an all too familiar blue sleeve poking out from the strangers resting spot, there was no doubt that this was the person was looking for.

After years of not hearing from him, he wasn't going to let this guy slip through his grasp again. He walked over the tried male and said, "So the fearless leader come crawling back after all these years?" with arms crossed.

"Raph?" The guy uttered, sounding shock.

He then found the traveler, peering over to see. As the other male's half of face was showing off dark blue eyes, he knew without a doubt the person he was talking to was in fact, Leonardo.

"You mind telling me where you've been all these years?"

Leo didn't turn to him, kept looking at the other tree as he let out a sigh. "Raph, I was off trying to find a spell to break the curse that Oroku Saki put on and the others."

"How did you-"

"Know? April told me that she saw you guys facing him a day before I left."

"Why didn't you say anything before you did?"

"Because I knew that you guys would try to stop me. Aways fat a lot of good that done."

"You didn't kill Oroku Saki?" He asked.

Raph saw his brother clench hands into fist, before answering him.

"I sealed him in a tomb, deep in the ground where no one would be able to find him, but I had to sacrifice something important to do it."

"Really? What was so I important that you had to make that you come back now?"

"My knowledge on how to break the cruse. Now, every bit of knowledge I gain, I loose in a second of learning it. I can't break your cruse now. I 'am sorry."

At that moment, Rapheal felt a bit of annoyance rise.

"That don't matter." He told him the honest truth. "What matter right now is we're here together."

"Raph?"

The green-eyed man saw Leo getting up half-way before falling back down. His widen, as it happens.

"Leo?" Called out hoping that his brother was okay.

He tried rub for him; however, he was stopped by invisible forced field, the cruse. Raph tried pounding on it as if that'll do something. He knew that was stupid, but he had to do something, he has to know if his big brother was alright."

Just then Raph ceased as his blue-eyed struggled to get up. His brother soon moved closer to him with shaky legs. Insecure on what to do he stayed in placed. When Leo gotten inches from him, he back up a tad before he was about to collapse. Raph made haste in catching his brother.

"Wow, take easy there, Leo? We're not in any danger."

"Funny," His big brother questioned in a tired sounding voice. "isn't that what I told you back when we were kids?"

"I wasn't this bad."

"Oh, please. You used to pick a fight with anyone you find even when you had terrible stab wounds."

"Because I wanted to become stronger. Listen Leo, I know you want to protect us and all, but you can't keep tackling this head-on. We're here for you. You're the only family, we have left."

"Thanks Raph."

"Don't mention it," He said he knelt down and wrap one his big brother's arm around his neck before lifting them up. "now let's get going? Mikey and Donnie are not going to believe this."

As the two brother's head off to see their other two brothers, the rain started to come down harder, though neither of them seemed to care, Raph sure didn't.

On the way, Raph could, but noticed Leo had a soft smile despite looking tired, he gave one of his own.

Author's note: If anyone's confused on the cruse thing, well, right before Donnie, Mikey, Raph's final battle with Oroku Saki, said villain placed a curse on them turning into something like Nymphs. I couldn't figure out how to fit that information to the story.

Sorry if that wasn't clear enough. Honestly, this fic just came to me, when I listening to a song called Coming Home.
