I do not own the TMNT.

This chapter will be divided into two different people's points of view. I will clearly mark the areas that switch between the two so nobody gets confused.

The Finding

Chapter 5

"Allow me to show you my true intentions to do right in my life," I said, "I can give you back your old life."

He seemed to wilt before me and began to tremble.

"Thank you Katsuro, but no thank you," Michelangelo said sadly, "Nobody can give me back my old life."

The child then turned and ran from me once again. Nobody saw me smile evilly.

"Good," I thought gleefully, "The filthy vermin have already sown the seeds to destroy all family ties. Now all I have to do is bind his soul and the little one is mine."

Michelangelo's POV:

It has been not quite a week since Katsuro came back to live among the Jinchuu. I can't help but feel on edge. Master Makota swears that he does not sense that Katsuro is lying. "Kitty Kat," as Raphael called him, has kept his distance from me. He hasn't tried to incorporate himself into my life, for which I am very grateful. Maybe he really does feel bad for what he has done? Should I give him the benefit of the doubt?

Everyday Katsuro did menial chores around the community. He seemed to legitimately want to repent for his past deeds. He even offered to change me back to my former self yesterday.

"If only he had decided to change for the better before the slumber party," I thought sadly, "Then I would be with my family now."

I mentally shook myself. No reason to dwell on a past you can't change. I had a future now and at the moment I was supposed to be working on a simple Kasai charm. The flame of my small candle was supposed to transfer from the wick to my hand. So far the little flame has only loved to transfer to the tip of my nose much to my displeasure.

"I'll never get this right," I muttered throwing myself backward onto the dojo mat after putting the flame on my nose out again.

"You are trying too hard," a familiar voice said from behind me.

Twisting my head back, I saw an upside down Katsuro enter the dojo with his arms full of training weapons, which he began to hang back up on the wall.

"You need to relax and feel the flame come up from within you," Katsuro said with his back facing me, "Fire can rage, but usually fire burns steadily. I can help you if you like."

"You can help me?" I asked, "How?"

"The best way to learn to harness the Kasai is to go to a place of peace to meditate," he said, "For you that you would be the flower fields behind the community. Once you relax and center yourself then you focus on a goal. The goal will help you bend the fire to your will. Would you like me to show you?"

I hesitated for a moment, but Master Makota had said that as Jinchuu, everyone gets a fair chance in showing his or her worth.

"Um…okay," I said hesitantly, "How did you know that I like the flower fields?"

"You go there often enough," Katsuro said gathering up my supplies to my surprise, "I went there as a student myself. Let's go."

He led me out to the fields and set out the supplies for the Kasai charm. Seemingly without effort, Katsuro transferred the flame from the candle to the palm of his hand.

"Now you try," he said, "Try to relax and focus."

I tried, but I just couldn't relax around Katsuro. The flame ended up on the tip of my nose again. Katsuro chuckled at me and leaned forward and blew the flame out. Then he pulled me forward and kissed me.

"Gah! No! What are you doing?!" I gasped pulling my face away while trying to shove him off of me, but he wouldn't budge.

"Did you really think I would change?" Katsuro laughed as he pulled me closer to him, "You are mine and you will watch as I destroy the Jinchuu."

"I will destroy you first," I said as I struggled to get out of his grasp.

"No! WE will destroy you first!" an achingly familiar voice yelled from the edge of the field.

Leonardo's POV:

We were very happy to exit the gut-rattling bus to walk the short distance to the valley. My heart fluttered in my chest at the thought that we would finally find Mikey. I had been rehearsing how I would apologize to my baby brother and I knew that Raph and Donnie had done the same. I only hoped that he could forgive us.

I stopped in shock when I felt a familiar presence nearby.

"What is it Leo?" Raph demanded.

"Katsuro is nearby!" I said pulling off my kimono and sliding out my kitanas, "Follow me."

My brothers quickly peeled off their own kimono and retrieved their weapons. We hurried towards the valley and came upon a field of flowers and stopped in shock. Katsuro was kissing Mikey!

"Gah! No! What are you doing?!" I heard Mikey gasp as he pulled his face away while trying to shove Katsuro off of him.

"Did you really think I would change?" Katsuro laughed as he pulled our little brother closer to him, "You are mine and you will watch as I destroy the Jinchuu."

"I will destroy you first," Michelangelo said as he struggled to get out of Katsuro's grasp.

Mikey's skin under Katsuro's grasping hands was turning red. My blood boiled! How dare the man try to take advantage of the baby of my family?

"No! WE will destroy you first!" I yelled in rage as I charged across the field.

"Goddamn straight!" Raph yelled behind me.

For the first time, my brothers and I laid eyes on our enemy's face. Katsuro could have been considered handsome if his features were not twisted with evil and his eyes did not glow like a demon cat. Mikey was flung against a tree and sat gasping to regain the breath that had been knocked out of him. He did not seem to be hurt only stunned.

My brothers and I teamed up and fought the coward with our best moves. Katsuro was a worthy opponent, but he cheated using his pain spell on us once again. Raph, Donnie, and I were incapacitated with overwhelming pain and we were forced to drop our weapons as we fell to the ground.

"I will kill you all! You have been more trouble than you were ever worth," Katsuro stated raising one of my own swords to deliver the deathblow.

Could we have come so far for it to end like this?

To be continued.
