Ch 13 Tempers Flare
Raphael stormed into the lair with a loud bang. Michelangelo, April and Casey looked over from their spot on the couch. Donatello was resting in his room after Splinter had treated his wounds. "Raph!" April cried out, getting to her feet.
"Bro where'd you go?" Michelangelo asked, approaching his second oldest brother.
"I went after Leo," Raphael explained, clenching his fists tight when he said his older brother's name.
"Raph there's something you need to know," Michelangelo began.
"I don't wanna fucking hear it Mikey!" Raphael shouted, startling his youngest brother. "Leo betrayed us! That's all I need to know! And if I ever see that son of a bitch again I'm gonna rip his fucking head off!"
"Raph just stop!" Michelangelo shouted back, getting in Raphael's face, surprising him. But that surprise didn't last for very long.
"You need to back to fuck off Mikey!" Raphael snarled, shoving Michelangelo backwards. But this didn't phase the orange masked turtle who stormed back up to his green eyed brother and shoved him right back.
"No you need to shut up and listen to me!" Michelangelo shouted.
"I don't gotta listen to nothin' you say!" Raphael growled, raising his fist to punch Michelangelo. But Casey quickly grabbed his friend's arm and pulled him back.
"Raph dude calm down," the dark headed teen said, getting in front of Raphael.
"Please Raph just listen to Mikey," April pleaded. Raphael opened his mouth to speak. But before he could get a word out he heard a voice come from the doorway, "What is going on in here?" the group turned and saw Splinter standing there.
"Sensei," Raphael began, his voice much calmer. "We were just..."
"Yes I heard what you were just doing," Splinter said. "I think we need to have another talk Raphael."
"But Sensei Leo..." Raphael began.
"Leonardo will be found in due time," Splinter said.
"We already found 'im," Raphael informed his father.
"Why was I not told Leonardo was found?" Splinter demanded. "And where is he?"
"Sensei," Michelangelo began. But once again Raphael cut him off.
"Leo betrayed us Sensei," the green eyed turtle blurted out. "He's been workin' with Karai and the Foot."
"That cannot be true," Splinter said, his brown eyes wide
"I'm sorry Sensei but it is true," Raphael said, a hint of sadness creeping into his voice. Then he sadness quickly turned back into anger and he went back into his rage mode. "He was helpin' steal supplies when we found 'im! Then he attacked Mikey and me! Then those damn Elite Guards attacked Donnie and nearly killed 'im! And Leo did nothin' to stop 'em! Then I confronted 'im again and he attacked me again! That's why I'm so damn mad!"
"Raph are you sure Leo attacked you?" April asked, deciding it would be best not to just flat out tell Raphael the truth because of the enraged state he was in.
"He shoved me down a manhole April!" Raphael shouted, his green eyes flashing with anger. "He just didn't want me kicking Karai and Kito's asses!"
"Sounds to me like he was protecting you," April declared. "I mean didn't you say Karai and Kito were coming?"
"Yeah but..." Raphael began. But he was stopped by Splinter putting a calming hand on his shoulder.
"I am sure that there is a good reason Leonardo was doing these things," the wise old rat said.
"There is!" Michelangelo cried out. "I've been trying to tell you Raph! Leo's playing both sides! He's pretending to be on Karai's side!"
"What?!" Raphael cried out, his green eyes wide with surprise.
"Yeah if you had just shut up for five freaking seconds I would've told you sooner!" Michelangelo cried.
"Mikey you sure 'bout that?" Raphael asked.
"Raph Leo told me that," Michelangelo declared. "Well not exactly that. But when he came at me earlier he told me to play along. He never really attacked me. It was all just an act."
"Well it sure as Hell wasn't an act when he attacked me," Raphael declared, crossing his arms.
"Raph you and Leo had a huge fight," April pointed out. "Chances are that he was still pretty pissed at you."
"Yeah," Raphael said, crossing his arms. "Well maybe you're right. But still..."
"Dude do you really think that low of Leo that you would think he'd actually betray us?" Casey asked, the outrage clear in his voice.
"No," Raphael snapped, glaring at Casey. Then he let out a sigh and said in a calmer voice, "I'm such an idiot."
"You can say that again," April muttered, rolling her blue eyes.
"Damn it April I already admitted I was wrong ok?!" Raphael snarled, glaring at his redhead friend. "What the Hell else do you want from me?!"
"Raphael," Splinter began.
"No disrespect Master Splinter but the last thing I need right now is a lecture," Raphael said, trying to keep his voice as calm as possible. "I need to find Leo and fix thing with 'im and bring 'im home."
"Raphael that would not be a wise move," Splinter said. "I think the best thing we can do is trust that Leonardo knows what he is doing."
"Sensei Leo's got this," Michelangelo said with a grin, putting his arm around Splinter. "Plus he's got that Hiro dude helping him. He can't lose."
"I hope you are right Michelangelo," Splinter said with a sigh. "I am going to check on Donatello. I suggest the rest of you get some rest." The group nodded and with that April and Casey went home and Michelangelo and Raphael headed to their rooms in the hopes of getting some rest.

Meanwhile back at the Shredder's lair Leonardo was in deep thought. He had been allowed to rest for the night and the blue masked turtle was laying on the bed in the room he had been giver and was thinking about how he could further his plan along. Just then he heard a knock on the door. Sitting up Leonardo saw Hiro enter the room. "Osoi jikan o yurushite (Forgive the late hour,)" the Elite Guard member said. "Shikashi, watashi wa chōdo anata o chekku shite ita. Anata wa watashitachi ga anata no kyōdai to deatta nochi, hijō ni dōyō shite inakereba narimasen. (But I was just checking on you. You must be very upset after the encounter we had with your brother.)"
"Watashi no ani wa itsumo nesshindatta (My brother had always been hotheaded,)" Leonardo declared, rolling his eyes. "Kare wa shikō suru mae ni tsuneni kōdō suru (He always acts before he thinks.)"
"Soshite, anata no chichioya ga rīdā to shite anata no basho o toru yō ni kare ni irai shita yōdesu (And yet it appears your father has entrusted him to take your place as leader,)" Hiro pointed out.
"E e, watashi wa odoroita koto o mitomenakereba narimasen (Yeah I got to admit that surprised me,)" Leonardo said with a sigh. "Shikashi, watashi no chichioya ga shitte iru no wa, kare ga sōshita riyū ga arukaradesu. (But knowing my father there's a good reason he did so.)" Hiro started to respond when the door opened and Kito entered the room, carrying a tray of food.
"Watashi wa anata ga uete iru kamo shirenai to omotta Leonardo (I thought you might be hungry Leonardo,)" the Elite leader said, putting the tray down in front of Leonardo.
"Arigatōgozaimashita Masutā Kito (Thank you Master Kito,)" Leonardo said, pulling the tray towards him. He looked down and saw that there was a fresh pepperoni pizza on it. Leonardo began to eat, realizing that it had been quite some time since he had eaten.
"Kito Watashi wa anata to hanasu koto ga arimasu ka? (Kito may I speak with you please?)" Hiro asked, deciding to take advantage of their time alone.
"Mochiron Hiro (Of course Hiro,)" Kito said. "Anatanokokoroni wa nani ga arimasu ka? (What is on your mind?)" Leonardo stopped eating and listened to the conversation.
"Saki hodo iimashita yō ni, watashi wa Hamato Yoshi ni kansuru jōhō o uketorimashita. (As I said earlier I have received information regarding Hamato Yoshi,)" Hiro began.
"Shinde iru hito ni kanshite, anata wa don'na shurui no jōhō o motte iru kanōsei ga arimasu ka? (And what kind of information could you possibly have regarding a dead man?)" Kito asked.
"Kito Anata wa rikai shite inai (Kito you do no understand,)" Hiro tried again.
"Watashi no jikan o dakishimenaide kudasai Hiro (Do not waist my time Hiro,)" Kito said, a hint of anger coming into his voice as he started for the door.
"Hamato Yoshi ga sunde imasu! (Hamato Yoshi lives!)" Hiro blurted out. Kito stopped dead in his tracks and turned to face his friend.
"Anata wa Hiro to nani o itta nodesu ka? (What did you say Hiro?)" Kito asked, his black eyes wide. "Watashi wa anata ni gokai sa rete iru ni chigainai (I must have misunderstood you.)"
"Kito no gokai wa nakatta (There was no misunderstanding Kito,)" Hiro declared. "Watashi wa Hamato Yoshi ryō ga ikite iru to iimashita. Watashitachi no shin no masutā wa ikite iru (I said Hamato Yoshi is alive. Our true master is alive and well)"
