Master Splinter's Point of View:

I continued to gaze upon the Saki Industries' building in hopes that it would randomly change before my eyes. I had earlier decided to go in and confirm for myself that it was indeed my old friend's business but I found myself hestiating right outside the door.

What would happen if I found Oroku Saki? Would he have changed? Even so, that would not change what he had done to me...what he was capable of doing. If he were here then my new family would never truly be safe.

With a hardened new resolve I glanced up at the building and started through the doors in determination. I didn't believe that anyone would recongize me as Hamato Yoshi right away, unless it was my old friend's company and he brought the Foot with him from Japan. I felt oddly paranoid.

I glanced nervously from side to side as the doors slid open but I was surprised with how normal everything appeared on the inside. The structure had beautiful metalic colors on the beams and wall slidings. The floor was a creamy color that was hard to look away from. Elegant looking couches and rugs decorated two sides of the room with a big chandlier above a rounded counter desk.

A woman sat behind the desk, typing away at her computer and occasionally answering phone calls or taking messages. She had messy blonde hair in a sloppy updo, dark brown eyes, and wore a simple white blouse, red short sleeved dress coat and red skirt. She flicked her eyes up at me with surprise and interest.

"Hi there. May I help you?" She asked politely, forgetting the computer entirely and ignoring the phone at the side. It was then that I'd realized I had slowly been trailing towards the desk anyways. I glanced to the side again and noticed that both sides of the walls had an elevator. "Sir?"

"Um, yes Ma'am," I looked away and smiled politely at her, watching as she blushed, "I was simply intrigued by the building and was curious about it."

"Yes, well the owner of the company has returned to this branch of his buisness and is doing well with the refurbishing," She commented as she straightened a strand of her hair. I kept my face polite if not impassive so I would not seem suspicious.

"I would say so," I complimented while taking in my surroundings for a third time. I blinked in surprise when the woman grabbed a card and handed it over with a friendly shy smile on her face. I took it and flipped it over, more than shocked to see the company's number but also her name on it: Amanda.

"I am suppossed to give these out to get the company's name out there," She replied almost defensively, as if she were about to die from embarrassment and I actually smiled for real, "But if you ever find yourself more interested in the company or need something, you can call the company's number or ask me questions..."

I blushed a little myself at the woman named Amanda. She was fidgiting a little in her seat as she looked back up at me. I looked at the card and decided it was now or never. "What is the name of the owner of this company?"

"Oh, his name is Mr. Oroku Saki," She replied while looking at her computer. I felt myself go pale at the mere mention of his name confirming my fears. My heart accelerated and I knocked over the jar of pens that were on the desk. She glanced up in shock. "Are you okay sir?"

"Y-Yes.." I nodded and bowed my head politely, feeling disoriented. She shot me a concerned yet confused look before I high tailed it out of the building. I did not stop running until I reached my car. I closed and locked the door then sat there breathing harshly.

Oroku Saki was a name I hoped to never hear again. Now that I have...I just can't believe he found out I was alive. Or did he? Is it concidence? No, it can't be, nothing with him is a concidence! I felt fear grip my heart. If it wasn't that then he did find out which means he suspected me alive all along and sent a spy! Did he find out about my sons?

I started my car and tore off into the road as quickly as I could, heading to a new destination. My family.

Raphael's Point of View:

I groaned when my head slipped from my hand and nearly smacked tha desk. God, could Biology be any better than this? I glared at Casey, my lab partner, and regretted ever agreein' ta let him sit next ta me. At least if anythin' goes wrong I can blame him for it.

I grinned as Casey began ta describe the lesson but would have ta pause ta see if he even remembered what tha Teacher was talkin' about. I wasn't tha only one about ta fall asleep.

"Don's gonna kill us if we fail Bio," Casey commented with a fustrated scowl on his face. We were lookin' at tha worksheet tha Teacher gave everyone. I rolled my eyes.

"Since when have ya been scared of Don?" I asked as I looked at him. I rose an eyebrow when he paled.

"Since he threw those dictionaries at me with deadly accuracy, dude," He told me with a serious look in his eyes. I stared for a moment and blurted out laughin'. Casey turned red and growled warningly at me which spurred me on more.

"Mr. Tanaka!" Tha Teacher scowled as she stood next ta us. She was seriously skinny, her dark blue dress hung off her body as if she were anoxeric. Her glasses fell down ta her nose and I slowed my laughin' already feelin' annoyed.

"What? I was just laughin'," I told her and pointed ta my worksheet, "We're workin' right Case?"

"Y-Yeah," Casey looked surprised before noddin'. Tha Teacher, Ms. Harper, huffed and turned ta go help another student that was starin' at us. Casey turned ta me. "We're workin'?"

I rolled my eyes and pushed his face away with a grin as he laughed at me. Casey and I talked while tryin' ta figure out tha different parts of an animal cell that we were suppossed ta be labelin'.

"Mr. Raphael Tanaka to checkout please," Tha intercom called makin' most flinch. My eyes grew wide with surprise and confusion. I shared a look with Casey. I never check out, "Mr. Raphael Tanaka to checkout please."

I slowly stood and grabbed my things as Ms. Harper watched me with an unreadable expression on her face. I gave Casey a look that he pouted at and left tha classroom both happy and confused. I got out of tha work but I was confused about why I would be gettin' checked out of school...

I was shocked when I entered tha office to see Leo, Don, and Sensei there already with grim and confused expressions. Looks like my bros don't know what's goin' on either. I didn't see Mikey, though, and my heart skipped a beat. Did somethin' happen ta my new little brotha?

I quietly sat beside Donnie, where they were sittin' out of tha way, and then turned ta look at Sensei, who was solemn. "Sensei, what's goin' on? Is Mikey okay?"

I watched as Leo and Donnie looked at Sensei tha same way I probably was. I was relieved when Sensei nodded his head. "We are waiting on Leatherhead, my sons."

"Leatherhead?" Donnie asked confused as he wrung his hands together in that way he did when he was nervous. I scowled, "Why?"

"And why didn't you check out Mikey too?" Leo asked as I nodded.

"I am not Michelangelo's Guardian yet," Sensei explained patiently as he gazed at us. He let a small smile cross his face, "I need to speak with Leatherhead for a moment and then I will tell you three something on the car ride home."

"Oh, okay," Leo blinked in surprise as he gazed at us in a weird way. I only shrugged and Donnie just gave a confused smile. I looked at Sensei again and was surprised ta see that he almost looked freaked out. I begun ta feel a twist deep in my gut and it looks like Leo already felt tha same.

"Excuse me?" Donnie jumped in his seat and grabbed onto my arm hard as we all looked ta tha left with wide eyes. Leatherhead really was a scary dude, jeez. "Hello, my friends...what are you doing here?"

He looked both surprised and confused until Sensei stood tall and gave Leatherhead a look. Leo just looked at us and we also stood with our stuff. Tha office staff seemed highly interested at whatever was occurin'.

"I called you here Leatherhead," Sensei began as LH looked at him in surprise, "Due to some situations I am not allowed to check Michelangelo out of school although Mika-san has given the school permission to let me take Raphael and Donatello," Donnie and I shared a look of surprise, "I have learned some rather disturbing news I'm afraid and I must insist that you escort Michelangelo to my home after school today."

We looked at Sensei with wide eyes and Leatherhead seemed taken aback at first. Then resolve entered his green eyes and he nodded. "Of course Hamato-san!"

"Thank you Leatherhead," Sensei bowed his head and then nodded to the office aid before turnin' ta us, "Let us leave, my sons. Let's go home."

We all nodded and slowly left tha office as Leatherhead watched with an unusual seriousness in his eyes. My mind felt numb with confusion and tha next thing I know I'm climbin' in tha back seats with Donnie. As soon as tha car started Leo wasted no time as usual.

"Sensei, what's going on? Is something bad happening?" Leo asked seriously with his eyebrows drawn together in worry.

"Not right now, Leonardo, but I'm worried something might," Sensei replied soundin' uncharacterisitically paranoid. Donnie and I shared a somewhat fearful look. Sensei was afraid? "My old friend Oroku Saki has moved to Manhatten."

I watched Leo's face pale in horror and it made my heart stop. Donnie began to fidget nervously. "U-Um, Oroku Saki? Why is your old friend making you upset?"

"Because he used to live in Japan, like me, and we were old friends until we fell in love with the same woman, Teng Shen. I had a daughter, Miwa, with her and he was always very angry and jealous because of everything I had," Sensei explained while I processed everythin' in my mind, "He killed Teng Shen and Miwa in a house fire when I returned from training some of the local children. I tried to save them but I could not. I never saw him again because I moved to make a new start and to get away from him."

Anger welled inside me at tha sound of my Sensei's voice. He sounded so sad and so angry at tha same time. Leo's jaw was tensed and Donnie's eyes were puppy-dogged and wide. I scowled angrily. "Why is he back? Is he here ta harrass ya?"

"I am not for certain but he is here. I believe that he knows I am alive and worse, that he may know about all four of you. I cannot allow him to ruin another family of mine. I just found his business building earlier and decided to check on you all." He told us while lookin' at all of us. Leo looked grim and serious as he also looked back. "I will inform Michelangelo later when he comes by."

"So we need to keep an eye out, right?" Donnie spoke up with a understandin' voice, "You want us to be wary?"

"Yes," Sensei breathed as he hands tightened on tha wheel, "I will relocate again once I have all four of you if I have to." I didn't too much like that idea but would do it ta keep my family safe.

"Don't worry Sensei," Leo suddenly smiled with those cobalt eyes serious, "You won't lose us."

And I actually agreed with him this time.

Michelangelo's Point of View:

I literally whooped for glee when the final bell rang. School was over, yes siree! I gave Mondo a one-armed hug before he skittered off to skate home, says his Mom doesn't like him to stay out before coming home first. I completely understood!

I waved at a few people as I searched for my brothers. I knew that Raph and Casey might be together and Leo, Don, and April had their last class together...but where were they?

Was Raph gonna pop out and scare me because that totally is not cool! I jumped and shrieked when someone's hand fell on my shoulder. I turned and scowled at the laughing Casey Jones. "Dude! You and Raph are bullies!"

"Whatever," He chuckled as he leaned on his hockey stick. I rose eyebrow, seeing how we were still in the halls of school. I knew that Casey was on the hockey team but really? "Have ya seen Raph?"

I blinked in surprise and for some reason a mild panic errupted in my chest as biker girl flashed in my head. "Uh, no, but I was lookin' for my brothers...I thought Raph had Bio with you?"

"He does but I figured since you were still here that he would come back," Casey replied looking confused. He stood straighter, "He was checked out of school."

"What?" I blinked stupidly. Why would Mika-san do that unless...something bad happened? "Is Donnie okay?!"

"I haven't seen him or Leo either, dude, sorry," Casey put a hand on my shoulder, looking worried. I immediately flipped out my phone and checked for messages. I had one from LH: Wait for me after school outside the steps. It's important.

"Mike?" I looked up at Casey who seemed to be getting more worried by the minute. I'm not sure what my face looked like. "Is everything okay?"

"Sure, I'm sure it is," I smiled but it felt weird on my face, "I have to go, dude, LH is waitin' on me. Say hi to April if you see her and good luck with hockey!"

I hardly waited around to hear his reply as I took off quickly to the entrance to my school. Why was Raph checked out? Where was Donnie and Leo and what's wrong with Leatherhead? I practically ran down the steps and froze when someone grabbed my arm, nearly yanking me in place.

"Michelangelo, are you alright?" Leatherhead looked really worried and I realized my breathing was off but I didn't care.

"Where are my bros, LH? Are they okay? Are they? Do you know?" I asked heatedly and he put his hands up to soothe me.

"They are fine. Hamato-san checked them out of school but he could not with you. I am to escort you to his house," He explained and I sighed in so much relief I nearly fell over. LH steadied me with his arm as ongoers looked at us, "We must leave. There is something bothering your Sensei that he wishes to discuss with you."

"Really? Then let's go!" I replied as I gently jerked on his hand in mine. I felt worried that something might be wrong with Sensei or with the adoption process. Did something happen with Mom and the paperwork to send me back? The thought of sending me back made my insides twist nervously.

"Relax, my friend," Leatherhead smiled gently as he put another hand on my shoulder. "You are shaking."

I gasped and looked down to realize he was right. I sighed and began to squeeze his hand, hoping to calm myself down. It's just Leo's voice over the phone and now this is making me really nervous. Why does it feel like I should be nervous?

A few minutes later I nearly jumped three feet in the air when some poor old lady dropped all her groceries and hardly anyone was willing to help her. I was surprised that, before I could even react, LH let go of me and rushed to help her. I smiled at the scene before me.

Leatherhead was scary and had a bunch of bad secrets, etc., but you really just had to give him a chance to see that he is really an amazing guy at heart. I really love him as a cousin and as a new best friend!

"Your friend is very kind," I jerked in shock at the man I didn't know was beside me until now. He was right next to a fruit vendor almost out of sight in the shadows, like me. He had a nasty scar on his right eye making his eye look bloodshot. What really got to me was the nice business suit he had on, it almost didn't match him. He turned to look at me and I noticed that one of his eyes were brown, like that biker chick's! And amber brown is sorta pretty...

"Yeah, he is," I smiled brightly, wondering why my brain was screaming at me to run. I continued to watch Leatherhead help the woman since he had that all covered. I waited for him to finish.

"Have we met before? You seem familar, boy," The man said in a low voice that almost sounded menacing. My eyes were wide when I turned back to him. He wasn't really looking mean it was almost as if he couldn't help the way he looked.

"I doubt it," I replied with a casual shrug, suddenly feeling confused.

"Hmm, yes, I doubt you'd forget a face like mine," He retorted making me blink at the resentment in his voice. He reminded me alot of Leatherhead so I smiled gently.

"Well maybe you're right but we can't always help the way we look, right?" I said and his eyes widened before Leatherhead approached me. I smiled up at LH and then turned back to the man. "Bye now!"

I didn't get to hear him say goodbye or catch his reaction probably because he was scared of Leatherhead, I'm not sure. But Leatherhead directed me home once again and I was almost irratated at the fact that so many people were moving and avoiding Leatherhead to let us pass.

I mean really was I the only one that didn't judge someone by how they looked alone?

Oroku Saki's Point of View:

I watched as the little blonde boy left side by side with that older boy that looked like an escaped convict. They disappeared around the corner and I turned away, buying the office equipment I was meant to buy, and walked back to my business car.

"Take me home," I ordered as the driver obeyed without question. I scowled as I crossed my arms and looked out the window. My thoughts drifted off to the little blonde boy with the startling blue eyes.

"Well maybe you're right but we can't always help the way we look, right?" He had said and my eyes widened. He beamed happily up at his older friend who eyed me cautiously out of the corner of his eye in a way that I can tell he had been accustomed to doing.

I shook my head out of my pathetic thoughts and feelings. How dare I allow what that young foolish boy said stick in my thoughts the way it was doing!

"We are here, sir," My driver announced some time later and I growled before stepping out of the door when someone opened it for me. I walked through the door and hardly glanced at the receptionist before walking in the elevator. I took to the penthouse level which only certain people were accessed to.

As I walked in I glanced around at the halls that served as my home. The metalic theme from the first floor applied to my home also, but with some golden colors added here and there.

"Father, welcome home," I stopped midway to my office when I heard my daughter's voice. I turned and saw her leaning against the doorframe to the dojo, an apple in her hand.

"Karai," I nodded at her, remembering my earlier questions for her, "How was this new school?" She sneered in disgust.

"It was horrible, Father! And the people are so nosy and loud," She complained and I just stared at her with no patience. I rolled my eyes.

"Come now Karai, you only have to ignore them," I commented and she scowled at her apple, "What of the Hamato boys?"

"I did not get the change to meet Raphael and Donatello but I did meet Leonardo and Michelangelo," She commented with a sly grin on her face, "Leonardo is definitely the leader, from what I've gathered so far, and he's surprisingly shy..."

"And Michelangelo?" I asked as I rose an eyebrow at her. She shrugged.

"He's childish and cautious just like Leonardo except he was actually fearful of me," She replied and smirked at her apple again, "Plus he's a friendly type. I didn't get to take pictures either but once I meet Raphael and Donatello I will take pictures for you."

"Good," I agreed, "The one I have is dark and hardly recongizeable. I want to know as much as possible about those four boys, Karai."

"Hai, Father," She bowed and I scowled at the briefcase in my hand.

"I must attend to business. If you ever discover more inform me at once," I told her and she bowed again. I looked away from her as I walked away scowling deeply as my thoughts returned to the little blonde from the streets.

I really need to get back on top of things.
