A/N: This first memory is referencing a one-shot I didn't publish. To sum up, Leo got hurt protecting Usagi when the Ronin brought them back to his world. They had to kill a bounty hunter, and this is the result of it. Hope you are enjoying so far. It has certainly been a fun time for me! Enjoy. The song is Birds by Imagine Dragons.

Two Hearts

One valve

Pumping the blood, we were the flood, we were the body and

Memories come at rapid pace. Its as if time itself stops and lets me review the past without missing a beat of the song.

That day so many years ago comes first. The day the Kame returned home for the second time. The day I wandered into the unknown….

"Finally!" Donatello-san yells. "I'm so sick of this dimension!"

Donatello gathers his bo staff and medical gear and heads to the white light. That light shines over me and my friends. Rapheal and Michaelangelo loom over my brother and bend to pick up his bed.

"Wait," Leonardo says. The two pause, arms dangling. I look away from the portal and down to him. Leonardo's eyes are locked on mine. He reaches up to me. I take his hand and kneel.

I bow the best I can in that position. "Farwell, my brother. Please, heal well."

His smile turns sad," I wish this was different."

Though I say nothing, he knows I agree. I stand and his brothers take him away. As Raphael and Michelangelo near the portal, Tomoe Ame yells out," Kame, wait!"

Raphael visibly stiffens. He's eager to go. I turn to my friend. "Tomoe-"

She lightly pushes me toward the portal. "Go, Usagi. He needs you."

"Wha-no." I state, stiffening my feet. "I have a job, Tomoe Ame. I can't just go-"

She lays a hand on my shoulder, "Usagi, if something happens to him, you will never forgive yourself. Go make sure he heals well."

I feel like I got punched. How does she know me so well? I look to the awaiting turtles, then back to her. "But, my oath."

"Hold on," Kintaro interrupts. " I got this." He then begins to glow, taking a meditative stance. He's there ten seconds before he states," You're free to go. There is no immediate danger in the future."

I feel my frown deepen. "Kintaro, you can't-"

Tomoe Ame shoves me," Go, Usagi, it will be alright. I believe the Gods will understand this time."

I stare at her. She's not going to let them go until I do. I sigh. She's right. I won't live with myself until I know Leonardo heals properly. But would I really leave my own world for this?

I look to Raphael. We meet eyes and he immediately knows. "If you're coming then hurry up. I don't have all day."

Leonardo says something, then Michelangelo howls. They go through the portal and its my turn. I take off my kasa and turn to Tomoe Ame. She takes it from me and smiles.

"Go. They're waiting."

I look to Kintaro. He jumps up and grabs the turtle stones from my sword. "Those we'll use to get you back," he states," And you won't come back until he's healed."

I chuckle. What a strange boy. With the last glance, I turn to the portal and walk to it. This fear is different. It's excitable and heart racing. I'm going to another world. I never imagined this.

I stop, take a breath and let the light envelope me. I feel my body move in a sickly fashion as if I must vomit, then I step out and the smell alone is enough to knock me out.

Two lives, one life

Sticken out, lettin you down

Makin it right

I ended up there for two months. Longer than I anticipated. Kintaro managed to stay in touch. I thought he'd never let me come home.

It was a wild time. Their world is so advanced. It took me forever to figure it out. The microwave still hates me, just as the toaster hates Leonardo. I love the fridge. The fridge is genius. Same with the shower. It was hard coming back to lakes and warm food again.

Electricity, ovens, phones, it was beyond me. Leonardo taught me it all while he was healing. But what I loved the most was the camera. I took one back with me and astounded everyone with it. Capturing a moment with a simple click of a button. It was genius. I hold many pictures and my camera inside the palace. I always have them with me. Always.

As the next couple words fly by, I remember my second trip to that world. It wasn't a pleasant one. On the trip I was taking with Leonardo, someone has insulted us, calling us disgusting fore even thinking of getting along. A Kappa ninja and a rabbit Ronin. It was disgusting. I had reacted as if trying to quench my anger. Leonardo saw it differently and went home.

A few days later, I went after him. Rapheal loved every moment of it.

Michealangelo ducks behind the coach as I approach the kitchen door. Lord Noriyuki laughs at him while Tomoe Ame silently scolds him. I take a deep breath…

And slam the door open…right off it's hinges…

"LEONARDO!" I shout, also much louder than I meant to.

Donatello screams, dropping his phone with a clatter. Raphael jumps and whirls to me. Both are at the table but I'm focused on the one at the sink.

Leonardo doesn't even flinch. He turns to me, a nasty look in his eye and a death grip on a dish wand. "Hi, Usagi," he says bitterly, "you have ten seconds to tell me why you just broke my door."

I ignore the statement and march to him, also ignoring his brother's eyes as they follow me. "We need to talk."

Leonardo turns back to the sink as I stop behind him," I'm sorry, my ears are not available. Come back at another time."

"Leonardo, please, I-"

He whips back to me and throws something. Water hits my eyes and fur. I blink, "What the-"

He starts throwing it again, advancing as he does. I see the dish wand in his hand and feel my eyes buldge," What are you-"

"The power of Christ compels you!" He shouts running me out the door backwards. Water sprays everywhere and Rapheal collapses in laughter.

"I can't breathe! I can't breathe…" He wheezes.

"Leonardo-san, stop!" I growl, trying to grab the wand. Instead, he grabs the broken door and growls:

"Just pretend this is getting slammed in your face." Then pushes it into the frame blocking me from the kitchen.

I hear Tomoe Ame mutter, "Usagi, maybe we should-"

My anger bursts into gear. For some reason Leonardo can just bring out the worst. I yell and kick the door, sending it across the kitchen. It hits the sink, then hits the floor, just barley missing Leonardo. Raphael howls louder.

I march up to Leonardo who is at the fridge, reaching for the handle, "You listen, Leonardo, I-"

Leonardo slams the fridge door open so fast I don't get to move before it hits my knees with incredible force. I choke and bend over, my knees burning with pain.

"Oops," the Kame states," did I not aim high enough. Darn." Then he turns, water in hand and moves to the other exit.

"Heesh, Usagi," Donatello grunts," What did you do?"

"Stay out of this, Kappa," I grunt back.

That gets Leonardo's attention, "Don't speak to him that way! Or do we have to bow to your high but and acknowledge the lowly demons we are."

I stand straight despite the aching in my knees. The Kame stares across the table, eyes dangerous. I say," That is not at all what I meant, Leonardo-san."

"Don't you san me! Don't think I didn't see the shame in your eyes, Usagi! Why are you inviting me anywhere if you're ashamed of me!? You know what, I don't care. I'm not taking this!"

He then marches to Donatellos work room, his posture very rigid and mad.

"Leonardo-"

"Leave him alone, long ears, or I'll pound you myself."

I don't even think as I throw my fist at Raphael's head. The Kappa dodges it and takes it as an invitation to fight.

I can tell it's one he's wanted for a while…

Season, they will change

Life will make you grow

Dreams will make you cry, cry, cry

It was a bloody fight. Not even Donatello or Tomoe Ame could separate us. It took a blast of one of Donatellos machines to knock us out. That just made Leonardo even more livid. I wanted to leave. Almost did. I don't deserve his silent treatment.

But then Michaelangelo told me his brother's thoughts. They were lowly creatures in New York. Leonardo knew in my world he would be frowned upon for looking like a Kappa and being a ninja. But as long as he had me, he didn't care. When I flinched away when a store keeper pointed us out, he felt betrayed.

It took a lot of convincing for Leonardo to trust me again. I apologized. It's all I could do. He eventually turned up. But Raphael was correct when he said Leonardo could hold a grudge like no one else. He truly is a champion.

I flinch.

Is…what is?

Another firework, closer this time so no doubt Jotaro lit it, sends a shiver down my spine. I swallow hard as the next lines play.

Everything is temporary

Everything will slide

Love will never die, die, die

I know that ooh, birds fly in different directions

Ooh, I hope to see you again

The next memory that flows almost makes me smile. They have a story about a hare and a turtle racing. Michaelangelo told it to me. Proceding the story, he dared me to a race. Leonardo told him to not patronize me.

I took the challenge, only against him.

We went to the beach that night. We were to run from one side of it to another. I remember the moon was so big and bright. Being by the ocean had felt to normal, digging my toes in the sand. I was in that little grey tunic and blue sweat pants. I had to admit, it was easier to move in that outifit.

Anyway. Leonardo had cheated and pushed me so I had to pump harder to catch him.

This memory is one of my favorites.
