Summer In China
Part XX: Love Hurts
By: Michelle
Leonardo held the katana blade on Raphael's neck. He was going to kill him. Raphael looked towards Venus with tears in his eyes. For the first time, he was scared. His family tried to persuade him not to go through with it, but he didn't listen to them. Then, he remember what Splinter said to him and the promise he made. He would not fight for Venus.
Leonardo looked at his brother. He remembered all the times they would sparred, fight, argue, chase each other around the house, play games when young. Now, he was going to kill him.
Leonardo looked at Venus. She was scared too. Her face was red and her eyes were full of tears.
Leonardo looked down at Raphael. Raphael was looking at Venus. Leonardo glanced at her and read her lips. 'I love you.' He looked back at Raphael and read his lips. 'I love you.'
Leonardo thought about what he was going to do and he dropped his katana. he felt sick. He turned and walked away a few steps and fell to his knees. he was ashamed of himself.
Raphael closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Then, he felt Venus' arms around his neck. She was shaking.
Splinter walked slowly over to Leonardo. "It's OK my son." He looked at the others. Donatello and Michaelangelo were stunned at what happened. Raphael and Venus were in each others arms.
"Michaelangelo. Donatello. Could you please leave the room." He turned to Raphael and Venus. "Venus take Raphael to your room and tend to his wounds." With those words, they were alone.
Splinter placed his hands on Leonardo's shoulders. "It's OK my son. It's over."
Leonardo turned around and hugged him. "I'm sorry sensei. I'm sorry."
"I know my son. I know."
*************************************
Venus placed a small ice pack on Raphael's lip. She was still shaky.
"It's OK Venus. It's over." He comforted her.
"I know." She knew it was over and was glad. She then realized something. This was why it took so long for her to meet Raphael and his brothers. Splinter and Chung I were afraid. Afraid they would fight over her.
*************************************
"Tell me what's wrong Leonardo."
"Why master? Why do I loose the ones I love to my brothers?"
Splinter looked down at Leonardo. For one, you assume to must. You planned everything out. Thinking that everything would go the way you want it to go. But, you forgot one thing. Things don't always go the way one plans."
Splinter took a deep breath. "And second, You and Venus were not meant to be. Deep down you know this. Raphael is her soulmate. No plan can stop or reroute fate. As for TurtleNinja, you blew it with her by making her chose between you or her family."
Leonardo sobbed into Splinters brown fur. "Love hurts my son, but you must heal. One day you will find your soul mate."
**************************************8
A half hour later, Splinter sat Leonard, Raphael, and Venus together and they talked everything out. Leonardo apologized to his brother and to Venus. He looked at the two of them. They were in love. They were just what each other needed. They forgave him; he vowed to himself he would never let a woman get in the way of he and his brothers relationships again.
**************************************
A week later, they all packed for home. Venus took picture of the house and her family. She took pictures of Mai Li and Suki with the baby. She didn't want to leave home but it was time to go.
Venus said goodbye to all the villages, especially Mai Li. Together, they promised to visit each other in the Realm of Dreams after it becomes stable again. Until then, they promise to write one another.
Venus said goodbye to her home. Her old life. She knew that together, she and Raphael could build a beautiful relationship and bond. She was no longer alone.
