Warning: Major angst for everyone

This takes place when the turtles are 12.

Author stares. Stares. And stares some more.

Sighs happily.

Anyways. I've decided to update because 1) I'm bored, and 2) OMG!!!!!!! Spootycup!!!! You're in the middle of a hurricane??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, if my story (for some odd demented reason because I suck at writing) seems to calm you, of course I'll update!

Oh, and sorry that the last part of the story got cut off. Here's the last part: before turning and walking through the wall as well.

Well, I've sent an error report to the staff and hopefully they'll fix that.

Anyways, here's the story.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

As soon as Leo and the girl were gone, Splinter jumped into action. He picked up Leo and put it onto the bed, before turning to his sons.

"Michaelangelo, Donatello, Raphael. Stay here. I will go after Leonardo."

But Mikey stood up at that. "Uh, uh."

Splinter's eyes flashed. "Michaelangelo..." He said warningly.

But Mikey shook his head and stomped his foot, much like a little kid would do. "Uh, UH!!!!!!! Leo's my big brother and I'm coming!"

Splinter was about to say something, but Donny jumped up as well.

"Leo's my elder brother, too! And if Mikey goes, I'm going!!!!"

Splinter sighed. "None of you are going! You will all stay here and—"

"No!"

Splinter cocked his head towards Raph.

Raph was standing in the middle of the room with his fists clenched and his head down.

"It's my fault that Leo got in this mess!!! I told him that I want him to die, I got him into trouble, and none of this would've happened if I'd just have kept my mouth shut!!!!"

He yelled, finally looking up at Splinter. They were all surprised to see Raph blinking back tears.

"It's all my fault and I'm gonna go after Leo!!!!"

Mikey spoke up at that. "If Raphy's going, I'm going."

Donny nodded. "Me too!"

Splinter looked from one son to another. Finally he sighed in defeat. "Fine. But we have to hurry. Time is against us. The Gates of Heaven will open any moment!"

Raph nodded. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!!!!" He yelled, running out the door, and heading out of the Lair, with Mikey and Donny hot on his heels. Splinter hesitated, before looking up.

"Oh, Kami-Sama! (Lord god/goddess)" He whispered, "Let us not be too late!"

.....................

Leo and Rebecca were slowly walking through the sewers. They walked smoothly and silently, even though the sewers were slippery and wet.

Because every obstacle they came to, they just fazed right through it.

Rebecca was smiling. So was Leo. Suddenly, for the first time in months, Leo felt as if he was free. Truly free. But...he still felt guilty about his family. 'Maybe...I shoulda stayed.' He thought, before shaking his head. 'No. They don't want me around. It's better this way.'

Rebecca smiled before jumping over a piece of garbage. That was completely unnecessary, since she would've just fazed right through it, but still it was fun.

"Cold be body, heart and bone,

After all, it's made of stone,

Doomed to lie on a stony bed,

Where sun is gone, and moon is dead,

But in the wind the dead stars do lie,

Shrouded in darkness, find them cry,

Until the Angels extend their hand,

And take them from this withered land."

Rebecca giggled as she finished singing the song. Turning to Leo, she asked, "Don't you think that the song fits? After all, it does hint of all that has happened, no?"

Leo giggled. "Yep. I really like the 'But in the wind the dead stars do lie, Shrouded in darkness, find them cry' part. After all, you could think that we're the stars. And we are dead. And we're shrouded in darkness. You know, the darkness of our lives? And we cry a lot."

Rebecca looked at Leo. "I never knew you were so philosophical, Leo!"

Leo laughed. "Listening to Don and Splinter a lot, can do that to you."

Rebecca laughed as well. "Yep! I guess. And the 'cold be body, heart and bone' part..."

Leo cut in. "Whenever one dies, the body becomes cold!"

Rebecca laughed again. "Yep! But in my case, I'm buried in the ground with a concrete angel! And concrete is cold!"

She shivered to emphasize her point.

"And the 'Doomed to lie on a stony bed, Where sun is gone, and moon is dead' part?" Leo asked, looking at her.

Rebecca shrugged. "When you're buried, they put you in a coffin. Mine was made of stone for some odd reason. And anyways, my body is 'doomed' to lie on a bed of stone, in other words, my coffin. And when you lie there, the sun is literally gone, and the moon is literally dead!"

Now it was Leo's turn to shiver. "Yesh! I'm glad I've never been buried!"

Rebecca laughed. "But now, 'the Angels extend their hand, And take them from this withered land'!" She giggled. "They say that when the Angels 'extend their hand', they're opening up the Gates of Heaven."

Rebecca sighed happily. "And that's tonight!!!!!!"

Leo smiled as well, before they both turned and crawled upwards on a ladder that would lead them to the cemetery.
