Chapter 23
"Realizations"
Raph is such a pain, thought Leo, if I weren't he brother, I don't think he would be living. He stormed off to his room hoping to speak to Sachi.
"Sachi?" asked Leo when he walked into his room.
"She's not here Leo. She hasn't been in here for hours," said Jessi.
"Do you know where she is?" asked Leo.
"No, sorry," said Jessi.
Leo walked around the whole lair. He started to get more and more worried. What if she heard the argument between me and Raph and took it the wrong way, thought Leo, fearing that Sachi may have left.
Leo soon walked into Master Splinter's study, worried about Sachi since he couldn't find her anywhere. He knocked on the door. Master Splinter turned and granted him permission to come in. Leo walked into the study hoping Sachi was there.
"What troubles you my son?" asked Master Splinter.
"I can't find Sachi and I was hoping she was with you. Everyone saw her prior to the argument between me and Raph," said Leo, concerned.
"I would suggest going to her dorm to make sure she didn't go back there. If she did, the results could be disastrous," said Master Splinter.
Leo's eyes grew large. He bowed to Master Splinter and ran off. He brushed past everyone I the lair and ran to see if he could bring Sachi back. He loved her and didn't want anything to happen to her. He continued running down the long tunnels. Finally he got the her room. He scaled the building and got into the dark room.
"Sachi? Sachi?" called Leo.
"Greetings turtle," said a voice.
The lights turned on to reveal a few Foot Elites in the room. Leo grabbed his katana from his back.
"Where is she?" snarled Leo.
"Oh you may get her back. The question is dead or alive," said the elite.
"She had better be alive if you wanna live," sneered Leo.
"Perhaps but we have orders. If you want her so much, come to the construction site where we have fought before at 10 PM and don't be late," ordered the elite.
Leonardo left the room. He ran back to the lair, continually looking over his shoulder to make sure that he was not being followed. When he got in, he looked at the time. 6:00 PM. He wanted Sachi back and he now had to wait until 10:00 to see if she was dead or alive. He hated to think about what Tatsu could have possibly done to her. He knew that what ever Tatsu did do to hear, he would pay.
Leo saw Raph while the others were following Leo, trying to find what happened. Leo lashed out at Raph, which was rare for him to do. Raph was totally unprepared for Leo to lash out the way he did.
"You damn idiot! Sachi's gone because of the stupid argument that you just had to pick with me. The Foot has her if you're interested. I don't know if she's dead or alive but why should that matter to you? You didn't like her. She was just a potential spy to you. You're f#%$ing jealousy really did it this time. She's gone and I hope you're happy because I'm sure as hell not," yelled Leo.
Raph was still is shock with what Leo had done to him. He never saw his brother like this before. It hurt him to think that Leo blamed him but it was partially his fault, he did start that argument.
Don had never seen Leo so angry. He left Master Splinter, Jessi, and Mikey to help Raph. He figured that maybe he would be easier to talk to then Master Splinter. He walked over to Leo's room. Slowly, he opened the door. He didn't bother to knock since he knew he would just be told to leave him alone. He found Leo laying on his bed on his shell. He went in and closed the door.
"Don't you knock anymore, Don?" asked Leo.
"Hey, I didn't do anything. I'm just here to see if I can help. How do we get her back?" asked Don.
"They want to meet at the last contraction site we fought at," answered Leo.
"What time?" asked Don.
"Ten," muttered Leo.
Don sighed. Don grabbed Leo's katana and tossed them onto Leo's bed. Leo looked up in confusion.
"Well then, shouldn't we start practicing instead of moping? That's what the old Leo would have said," said Don.
Leo looked up. He didn't really feel like practicing but Don had a point. It was what he would have done before Sachi came into his life. He didn't want to practice.
"Come on, Leo, be the leader we all know. The one who says we've gotta practice a little just to be prepared. The one who's cool under pressure. What happened to him?" said Don.
"He left when Sachi did," muttered Leo.
"Well then, looks like I'm going to have to lead this mission," said Don, in hopes of coaxing his brother.
"You? You lead this mission?" asked Leo in doubt.
"Well, if the fearless leader won't lead then I will," said Don, hoping that he would say no since he didn't really want to lead the group.
"I don't think so Don. I'll lead it thank you very much," said Leo.
"Oh yea?" challenged Don.
"Yea," said Leo.
"Prove it," said Don hoping he did the trick.
"Get your shell into the practice room, we've got to practice before we go save Sachi," announced Leo.
"I was hoping you'd say that," said Don with a smile.
"Oh and Don, thanks for snapping me out if it," said Leo with a smile.
"Don't mention it," said Don.
Together, the two brothers walked out of Leo's room and went to get the others into the dojo to work on what they may need to save Sachi.
