Leo cried...

"Leonardo?" His father pulled the teen into a tight embrace while shedding a few tears of his own "She wants us to...vis..it her...this afternoon" Leo croaked his voice breaking at points. "Of course, we will" Splinter replied. "Thank's Dad" Leo sniffed. "Always my child."

"Now, I must call into school and say you will be having the day off." Splinter concluded and was about to leave but was stopped "I want to go, I had a free period anyway" Leo stated getting up and grabbing his bag"
"Are you sure Leonardo?" His father questioned placing a hand on his son's shoulder, "Yes sensei, I'm sure" Leo answered "Well then I shall drop you off" His father stated.

SHORT TIME SKIP..

Leo arrived at the school and made his way to his 2nd period class just in time. Luckily it was English with the Professor. When everyone entered and Leo's brothers saw him Mikey ran up and hugged him, Leo gave a small sad smile and when Mikey let go he brought out his notebooks and started doodling again.

"Ok class settle down, today we will be learning about Japanese culture, to be exact, Ninja" The professor announced. Leo looked up from his notebook and closed it, he noticed his brothers getting excited and Donnie already answering most of the questions asked. "Ok class you shall be split into pairs for the Homework projects and class work"

"The partners shall be, April O'Neil and Angel Jones, Casey Jones and Donatello Hamato, Fong Dragon and Hun dragon, Karai Oroku and Leonardo Hamato, Mike Gecko and Michelangelo Hamato, Mona Lisa and Raphael Hamato, these shall be your partners for all projects, today you will be starting your first homework project which is about ninja" The professor explained and as everyone got into their partners Leo noticed only him and Raph had partners of the opposite gender.

"Hi, I'm Karai" the girl next to him said, "Leo" he replied getting out his pen and he started to write down ideas, "Look, I know we both have to do this project but I know quite a lot about Japan, I was born there." Karai explained, "I come from Japan too, Dakara, kokoro no naka de dono yōna aidea o motte imashita ka? (So what ideas did you have?)" Leo asked now turning his head towards his partner's face, "Watashitachiha ninja no dōjō no, katas ya buki ni tsuite nanika o okonau hitsuyō ga arimasu kangaete imashita (I was thinking we should do something about the Dojo's, katas and weapons of a ninja)" Karai answered, "E e, soreha kūrudesu (Yeah, That's cool)" Leo finished.

At that moment the professor was walking around the classroom and heard Leo and Karai talking in Japanese, "You guys can speak in Japanese?" He asked them, "Hai" they both answered. "Where did you learn?" he questioned now sitting in front of them and turning the chair around. "I was born in Japan" Karai stated. "Yeah I was born in Japan too" Leo replied, "Leonardo, what about your brother's?" the professor asked, "Nope, only me but Mikey sometimes talks in Japanese in his sleep." Leo then looked at his brother's who were all getting along with their partner's apart from Donnie who looked like he was ready to rip his hair out.
