Second Chances

Raphael thought about the fight that happened earlier that day, the fight that put Michelangelo in a coma for god knows how long and the injury that Leonardo inflicted on his Master. He thought about how it started.
"If you didn't think about it then we wouldn't be in this right now!" Raph shouted to Leonardo. Leo the "perfect son" god that pissed Raph off. How could he be so…perfect. "Guys don't argue about this today." Donatello said, "Don't get involved Don." Leo stated, "This is between me and Raph not you." "Well if this is about Splinter helping Leo out more than the rest of us then yeah it's also my problem." "No, Don, this DOES NOT CONCERN YOU!" Raph and Leo stated, together" "It is my problem if this argument continues" Don yelled. Now Raphael had a problem with Leo, Mikey, and Splinter yelling at him; now Don was yelling at him too? 'This is not going to happen' and with that thought and with sais, katanas, and bo staff in hand they lashed out at each other. Before it got really bloody Splinter and Michelangelo came into the dojo to see his family arguing, their weapons speaking for them. Raph already had cuts on him from Leo's blades, Don had cuts on him from Leo's blades and from Raph's sais. They didn't know that Splinter and Mikey had come home from searching for food. They tried to step in front of Leo, Don and Raph but it didn't work. The next thing they heard were two screams of pain and two soft thuds on the floor in between them. "MASTER SPLINTER! MIKEY!" they heard Don scream. The two turtles finally broke off their fight to look at the floor, finding their sensei and brother in a pool of blood. A katana had sliced into furry flesh while the sai had found its mark in amphibious skin "Quick get them to my lab" Donnie yelled, frantically.
Donnie soon had Splinter patched up and awake, the katana had only made a flesh wound though he had suffered from a concussion thanks to Donnie. With his sensei patched up and recovering, Donnie turned to Mikey with a sadness in his eyes that the whole room could feel. As Raph looked at Donnie removing the sai from Mikey's chest, he turned to his sensei, Leo, and Raph. "The sai punctured Mikey's left lung and he's in a coma but he's stable for the moment. We still need to watch with him. Sensei if you feel that you could take a watch then go ahead. Raph take the first watch." Don said before he left the lab.
Raph took the watch with out complaint; it was him who put his sai into his little brother. He sat there watching the machine that Donnie built to breathe for Mikey. As he sat there, he thought about the times he had with Mikey. Especially that time he had been sparring with him and accidentally cut him across the face. He chuckled thinking' he still prizes that scar because his favorite brother gave it to him. We were what 12 when we started using weapons?' He lost himself in his thoughts and before long Leonardo came in to take the next watch. After Raph had left the lab he grabbed his coat, hat and sais and walked out of the lair. No one heard him leave.
