Hello everyone! I am literally waiting for the time to begin my group presentation…yuck…but I wanted to write some and try to post. I had, like, three hours almost and I just wanted to type. If I don't finish then I'll finish and post it later! Didn't want to take as long this time! Thanks for all the good wishes and understanding remarks! You guys are uh-ma-zing, as Mikey would say!

Special thanks to: Lady Celestial Star, TheMaskedTimelord, SpiritFighter208, leoxraph13, Guest, GirlRobin, Lucy Dragneel4life, Juanita27, tmntlover2013, RoseDawn89, and Mikeygirl!

To Mikeygirl: Thanks so much! I'm very glad that you and everyone else liked it also that you liked the others too! I feel honored that you waited, haha, and that you think my writing is good. That makes me happy as always! As for Yoshi and Saki…that will be very interesting indeed!

To RoseDawn 89: Hi! I think everyone has a really good idea who that mystery man is…I tried to leave clues in a couple chapters but I didn't wanna give away the big moment when his identity is revealed! I feel bad for Don too, keeping this secret and already worrying for the welfare of all three brothers. That's a lot to keep up with! But don't worry, Donnie's as strong like the rest of them! Thanks for the review! :D

To Guest: Haha, that makes me really happy. I feel the same way to some of my favorite stories, usually the ones by Taisi! Thanks for reviewing! Hope you continue to be excited!

To GirlRobin: I'm glad you think it's awesome! And Mikey has a tendency to bump into guys that have to do with the plot…so we'll see soon, right? ;) Haha, hope to hear from you again! Thanks so much!

To SpiritFighter208: Thanks! I'm glad you love it! :D That makes me happy and as for Raph and Slash, only time will tell, right? You and Lady Celestial Star made me smile because you were one of the first to try and guess! You'll find out soon! Thanks for wishing me well too, by the way, that made me feel good. Things are starting to get better and I'll see if it lasts.

Raphael's Point of View:

I didn't feel angry at all that I was incapable of callin' Slash myself. My hands still shook ta punch Slash in tha face for lettin' Leo get hurt the way he did. Hell, call me over protective but I would punch Slash in tha face if it was just a cut on Fearless' cheek. I told him ta watch after Hun…ta make sure that my brothers were safe and he lets Hun get away with this?

But then he goes around and does somethin' like watchin' out for Mikey. It both relieves me and pisses me off even more because I was tha reason Mikey was out there in tha first place. I drove him ta leave and get away while Slash was tha one ta come ta his rescue from tha creepy guy…not any of us…but Slash. That pisses me off more than anythin' but I can't be mad at Slash for that, not really, because he was just doin' what I wanted by protectin' Mikey.

But I can't figure out why I'm so mad at Slash other than what happened to Leo. I didn't want ta think about it either because tha more I thought about it tha angrier I got and I didn't want ta take out my anger on my brothers…because I know I would do that.

I blinked out of my thoughts when Fearless sat beside me carefully, because his knee was still causin' him some dull pain and his ribs still ached, or at least he told me. I scooted over ta make room for him and then hid a smile when Donnie joined me on my other side cautiously.

I turned my head and saw Mikey carryin' tha tub of Neapolitan ice cream he bought for us all in one hand and four spoons in the other. Sensei was beside him lookin' contrite and I realized he must be apologizin' for not hearin' Mikey out earlier. He just shook his head with a brighter look on his face than before.

"Okay, guys! I got the ice cream!" Mikey cheered softly as he sat cross legged beside Donnie.

"Oh and ya remembered tha spoons this time," I grinned as Mikey rolled his eyes and began ta distribute tha spoons ta us all. We all got situated as Mikey passed the ice cream to Leo cause he called it first, which was kinda funny. Sensei smiled a little at us all as he took his usual chair and relaxed.

But then tha tension was broken when Donnie asked, "So who's calling Slash over?"

I couldn't help myself and glared at him, causin' him ta recoil slightly in surprise so I began to slow my breathin' as ta not get too mad. Leo sighed as he passed tha ice cream ta me.

"I'll do it!" Mikey offered a bit loudly and we all looked at him in surprise, "I got Slash's phone number from Raphie's phone one time…"

"What?!" I growled as he looked sheepish and stuck his lounge out at me like tha immature baby brat he was. Leo and Donnie simply rolled their eyes at us.

"Well, that's good…I think," Leo shrugged when I shot him a look, "Call him Mikey…"

Mikey nodded solemnly when I passed tha ice cream ta Don and crossed my arms. Sensei was givin' me a sympathetic understandin' glance and I had to look away. Leo's hand fell across my shoulder reassuringly and I tried hard not ta shrug him off.

"You don't have to talk to him at all, Raph….okay? We'll do all the talking," Leo promised, givin' me an easy smile that I nodded at.

"Hey-a Slash!" Mikey greeted with a goofy grin and in that loud tone that annoyed me. I gave him a look as did Leo and Donnie while Sensei simply shook his head, "Nah, I'm okay! I made it home in one piece! No…no I didn't find out who that guy was….yeah."

"Mikey…" Leo face palmed, gesturin' for him ta get ta tha point. I saw Donnie and Sensei hide a small smile. I rolled my eyes at Donnie and grabbed tha ice cream from him, promptin' a whine-ish growl from him that made me laugh.

"Sorry…yeah, um Slash…can you come over? We want to see you and ask you stuff!" Mikey smiled easily, like he wasn't just freakin' out and pukin' earlier. That kid came back from things fast, "H-Huh? Oh, well that….no Raphie wants you to come too, so please come!"

My eyes widened as I nearly dropped my spoon in tha ice cream tub. Leo and Donnie looked at me uneasily but I just shrugged it off. I closed my eyes and returned ta eatin'. Mikey soon got off tha phone and smiled, "He's on his way right now! Boy, he sounded a bit too eager to help, haha!"

"Well he better be," I almost hissed and I didn't miss tha way tha room became awkward fast. Way ta go Raph, "And what did I tell ya about callin' me "Raphie" ya baby brat? Are ya in grade school?"

I almost thought I was a bit harsh because Leo and Donnie widened their eyes at me but Mikey laughed, "I like the nickname! Mainly because it annoys you!" Mikey smirked and I growled.

"C'mere ya midget!" I cried angrily as I passed tha tub ta a surprised Leo and jumped after a laughin' Mikey. Tha others just laughed along with Mikey and Sensei smiled at us. At least it's no longer awkward.

o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

Tha moment tha door opened I remained rigid at Leo's side. Sensei instructed Donnie to get some refreshments for our guest while Mikey jumped up from watchin' tha TV ta answer tha door. Slash walked in a bit stiffly, like he didn't know what he was headin' into and he didn't.

"Hey Slash! You can sit in that chair beside Sensei if you want…" Mikey offered and it was a bit fascinatin' ta watch how laid back Slash looked around Mikey. Back at tha Purple Dragon hideout, he didn't look laidback at all not even around me…well I did give him a hard time there at first.

"Sure," Slash smiled politely and avoided our eyes as he sat next ta our Sensei, "Um, you must be their guardian…Mr…"

"Hamato Yoshi…" Sensei smiled ta encourage my old friend and I couldn't keep my eyes off him. Suddenly Slash looked up and I looked away only ta see Leo smilin' at me. That weirdo…tryin' ta reassure me even now. Mother hen, "And yes, I am their legal guardian. Michelangelo will be my legal son soon enough."

Slash seemed interested in tha details but a noise made me turn my head. Donnie had water for everyone but his face was what disturbed me. He looked…haunted by what Sensei just said…or maybe I'm readin' into it? Maybe he's just scared of Slash…he is a big guy after all. Only an idiot like Mikey would be totally okay with a person if they were good enough. That one's all about tha "character" inside a person. All that mystical jazz. I guess that's why Mikey's always been the judge of good character out of tha four of us.

"You okay Donnie?" Mikey blinked as he stepped forth to help distribute the water. Donnie immediately handed some over and smiled, tha look goin' away. Now that was just weird.

"I'm fine," He replied quickly while Mikey, Leo, and I frowned, "I hope water is okay. I wasn't sure what everyone would drink."

"Water is fine," Slash said to my brainy brother, "Thanks."

"Yes it is fine, Donatello. Thank you," Sensei smiled and Donnie smiled before returnin' ta my other side. I eyed him for a moment and he rose an eyebrow at me. I figured I wouldn't bring it up with tha others around for now.

"First…I wanna say something," Slash interrupted my thought process as all eyes turned to him. He stood up and I was surprised that he actually seemed very shamed and anxious, "First off…Mr. Hamato I am very sorry for the pain it must have caused when I took Raph away for a while. I wasn't thinking clearly at all and I am very sorry. Please know I only had what I thought were the best intentions."

Everyone had tensed at first and I watched the tension bleed out of my family near the end. Leo cleared his throat and smiled at Slash, "That's okay Slash. Thank you for saying that. I've always wondered….but you care for Raph so I get it. But if you ever do it again please know I won't stop until I find him. And I'll do anything to find my brothers."

I wasn't alone in blushing at the very cheesy, totally Leo, line. Donnie tried ta hide his face somehow while Mikey laughed as his face flushed with embarrassment, "W-Well, yeah! I agree with Leo…somewhat, anyways as long as you don't do it again then we're good!"

Slash's face brightened and he looked a bit excited. But then he grew calm and solemn again as he turned slightly to face me. My eyes widened and I froze as I practically felt all eyes on me, "Second, Raph, I would really like to apologize to you now that I have the chance. I love my family with all my heart….you and all my purple dragons are my family, Raph. I promised you I'd help you watch out for your brothers…but Leo still got put in the hospital…when it happened, I had been out spying on one of the places Hun usually meets up with Saki…but he wasn't there. Neither of them were. I'm so sorry this happened to you, Leonardo. I won't let Hun get away with it."

The room went silent when he finished. Mikey and Don were lookin' at my serious face with wide eyes. Sensei was studyin' me closely while Leo blinked and then somewhat smiled again at Slash, "It wasn't you that hurt me, Slash. I appreciate everything you're trying to do for us. It's okay."

Again the room went silent but I stared at tha floor intently. I could tell Leo wanted ta touch my shoulder again but refrained. No body, not even Mikey, said a single word until I looked up a minute or two later. My eyes felt like they were burnin' with anger that I had ta get out of my system as I glared at Slash. His eyes went even more wide when I slowly stood.

"Ya promised me my brothers would be safe from the Purple Dragons…and Leo wasn't. He got put in tha hospital! Given yer explanation I understand a bit better now, but that doesn't mean it still doesn't piss me off-"

"-Raphael…" Sensei interrupted with a look on his face. I sighed and rubbed my face.

"Listen…I forgive you for this one, but only because Leo will be okay. But there's somethin' ya need ta understand, Slash…" I growled as I took another step towards him. He held his ground and Sensei looked ready ta intervene at any moment's notice. I stared at him dead on, makin' sure he could see the anger in my eyes, ta see tha promise of my next words, "If any of my brothers end up in tha hospital on yer watch again…they won't be ta only one's that will need medical attention."

Sensei and my brothers were floored with shock at my obvious threat but Slash just stared at me with wide eyes before he smirked. I was tha only one that understood what that look in his eyes and what that smirk meant. There was a time when we both were tha only ones that understood each other. So I smirked back, tha anger dissipatin' from eyes a ton, "Understood Raph!"

"WHAT?!" Mikey gasped loudly and we all turned ta him, "I thought you were gonna murder each other for a second there!" Slash and I rolled our eyes at his dramatic claim.

"I am…not going to reprimand you this time on your choice of words, Raphael. That is only because I know that you needed to get them out of your system," Sensei calmed as he returned ta a relaxed position. I grinned and nodded my head at Sensei.

"I don't even know what to think about what just happened," Donnie sighed as he rubbed his temples, "You guy are just too much sometimes."

"You're telling me though," Slash continued ta grin cheerfully, "For a second I thought he was going to murder me in my sleep tonight."

I rolled my eyes and smirked when my brothers burst out laughin' at Slash's slightly inaccurate dramatic statement. I turned ta Slash again, "Listen we also brought ya here ta figure out if ya knew anythin' about Hun? We wanna catch him!"

Slash's eyes widened before he looked at Leo and smirked again, "Oh absolutely! Might wanna sit back down for this."

Mikey giggled as everyone began ta resituate themselves in their seats, "Yeah, you said that you know the place were Saki and Hun meet up?"

"Well most of the time they meet up at the Saki Industries building," Slash sighed as he leaned comfortably against tha chair, "But sometimes, when Saki is closer to the hideout, they meet at this place near the docks and talk business. Or usually it's just Saki ordering Hun around." Slash rolled his eyes.

"And have you heard anything?" Leo asked curiously, his eyes focused.

"Yes and no….I've heard things I already knew about. Saki has this new plan about you four and it had to do with some guy, a third guy, but I haven't seen him. I do know that he meets with Saki regularly at his office building," Slash shrugged as he seemed irritated, "I never could stay long without almost getting caught. That Saki is a sharp one."

"Indeed," Sensei chimed in as he looked thoughtful, "A third man, you say? This is troublesome. Saki is aligning himself with allies to fight against me."

"You know we won't let anything happen to you Sensei!" Mikey said seriously for once, causin' us ta blink at him. But Leo smiled and nodded alongside Mikey.

"My sons, it if you who I fear for," Sensei smiled warmly, his eyes sparklin' in that way they did sometimes when he looked at us. I felt Donnie's arm move tha slightest and looked up at him ta see that slightly haunted look from before sneak past his barriers. What tha hell?

"I haven't heard anything direct about Mr. Hamato but what I do hear usually concerns you four," Slash nodded in agreement to our Sensei and we all frowned, "I know that he has pulled out of his original plans to adopt you, or that's what you guys said, but I don't know how else he's going to take you away from Mr. Hamato either."

Sensei tensed, "Saki is a fool to think that I will let anything happen to my sons without fighting back."

"Yeah, what is he going to do? Kidnap us? He has no claim over us and we are old enough to choose to live with Sensei!" Leo stated angrily and I nodded in agreement.

"He probably would resort to kidnapping if he wanted," Donnie muttered quietly, his eyes betrayin' him once more. I fought tha urge ta just yell at him and saw Leo raise an eyebrow at Donnie for a moment while Mikey simply blinked at him.

"As for Hun's whereabouts," Slash interrupted as we turned ta him, "He has only come back once ta tha hideout since attacking Leo and he was drunk. Then he hasn't come back again since, which is why I was out in town earlier. I was looking for him and he wasn't at the docks either. So he must either be someplace new that I don't know about or he is at Saki Industries."

"Thanks Slash," I replied as I narrowed my eyes, "I don't know how or when but we will catch Hun." My brothers nodded in agreement and Slash smirked.

"Just be careful…Hun's a large guy, you know?" He tried to joke just a little but I saw Leo flinch out of the corner of my eye and Slash's face fell flat, "Anyways, he won't get away, that coward. I've instructed the rest of my family to be on the lookout for traitors and I demanded to be kept in the loop."

Sensei smiled and stood, "You have been most helpful, Slash. Although I do not necessarily agree with your lifestyle I applaud your loyalty to your family."

Slash beamed under Sensei's gaze and we talked a bit more about Hun and other things for a couple hours before he announced that he had ta leave if he wanted to make it back before 5. We all bid farewell and I finally felt a bit better about tha whole ordeal with Slash now.

I wanted ta corner Donnie about his behavior right away when Sensei announced that he was goin' ta call his friends ta check up on them. I guess all this stuff with Saki has him nervous for his friends too. But Mikey wanted us all ta finish tha movie: Lord of the Rings with him. It was one movie that we all enjoyed, another similarity between us four as quadruplets, and my thoughts of Donnie were lost for tha whole time.

Mikey informed us of how his Mom was doin' while Leo added how much better he was feeling and how his trainin' was goin'. I had ta hide a stupid smile nearly tha whole time. Just what is it about my brothers that turns me into a soft cheeseball?

The next morning:

Leonardo's Point of View:

"Ughhhh…" I groaned as the dull ache in my knee and head returned. I shifted and felt a sharp pain in my ribs, making me stop for a minute. I turned my head only to bonk it against Raph's. I blinked in surprised before remembering that my brothers and I made a pallet in the middle of the bit as we watched Lord of the Rings last night. We decided to camp out here.

"ERGH…" Raph growled loudly, making me whip my head towards him. It was laughable to see Donnie jump a bit in sleep but it didn't scare him into completely waking up, "What is it?"

I rolled my eyes and noticed that Donnie was curled up against Raph's side with his head pillowed on his chest. Mikey was literally laying across me and his head was beside Donnie's on Raph's stomach. How on earth did we sleep like this without waking up in discomfort?

A silly grin spread across my face as I braced one arm around Mikey and turned towards Raph, who was blinking the sleepiness from his eyes, "Morning Raph. Sorry about that…I didn't know you'd be so close to me."

Raph's eyes widened completely at my statement and he groaned, trying to escape but only to realize Donnie was half on top of him just like Mikey, "W-What tha hell?!"

"What?" Donnie mumbled into his shirt, "You actually make a comfortable pillow Raph."

"Shut up Brainiac!" Raph blushed darkly as he pushed Donnie away. I rolled my eyes and began to shake Mikey lightly. I needed to take my pain medications now. Donnie, Raph, and I all gasped when Mikey flinched hard, sitting up lazily with eyes open.

"Huh? What? What day is it?" He asked sleepily and we all rolled our eyes at him.

"It's Friday, ya goofball!" Raph replied as I sat up and rubbed at my knee, "Ya okay, Leo? Ya seem a bit pale."

"Pale?" Donnie interrupted what I was going to say sharply. I simply smiled at them but realized Donnie had already gone into what my brothers and I call "doctor mode", "Are you in any pain, Leo? You're rubbing your knee."

"It hurts a bit but it does that every morning and goes away during the day for the most part," I reassured them and watched in amusement as they looked nullified a bit, "I promise I'm taking my pain killers. Sensei's been making me even if they make me a bit drowsy."

"I'm surprised that don't make you sleep at all," Donnie scoffed as we all began to stand and started folding the pallet we made last night, "It's like side effects don't register in your body."

"Cause he's superman," Mikey grinned goofily and whined when Raph hit the back of his head, "Raphie!"

"Don't call me that!" Raph snapped and Mikey rolled his eyes.

"Sorry Raphie."

"Mikey!"

"Oh…sorry Raphi- I mean Raph…" Mikey paled when Raph shook a fist while Donnie and I shared an amused smile, "So…Sensei seems to already be up…"

We all looked to where Mikey was looking at Sensei's study room. I blinked, noticing that instead of being in the dojo like he usually is in the morning…he was holed up in his study room. I rose an eyebrow. Was something going on?

"He probably is making more phone calls," Donnie smiled a bit as we finished folding the pallet, "Why don't we eat something then see what everyone wants to do?"

"Y….You don't have work to catch up on today?" Mikey asked timidly and we all frowned. Donnie shook his head and Mikey smiled, "Great! We should totally all train together!"

I beamed and Raph chuckled as we all headed to the kitchen together. We sat down at the island table as Mikey offered to get our favorite cereal down along with bowls, milk, and utensils.

I chose to eat Cap'n Crunch and Mikey chose Lucky Charms while Don and Raph chose Cinnamon Toast Crunch, which was pretty interesting to figure out that they both shared the same favorite cereal. We were all content with eating our cereal but the mood took a turn when Sensei came into the room looking stressed.

"Woah, Sensei. Didja sleep bad last night?" Mikey questioned innocently and Sensei smiled at us a little, the stress lines evident in his face but lessening as he looked at us eating together.

"I slept well Michelangelo. But when I awoke early this morning I got a call from my lawyer…" Sensei sighed, as if he didn't know how to explain what he'd heard or found out. I stopped eating and looked at him worriedly.

"What happened Sensei? Is something happening with Mikey's adoption process?" I asked anxiously while the others looked surprised. I was a bit surprised when Donnie's eyes widened and he paled.

"Not just Michelangelo's….something has come up or that is what my lawyer said. She said that this changes everything. We need to be ready within 30 minutes so that I can get us to the lawyer's office on time," Sensei explained as calmly as he could with the dawning horror on all our faces.

"C-Changes everythin'? Surely Saki hasn't figured out a way ta take us away did he?" Raph asked as his eyes shook angrily, "How could he do this?"

"Let us be calm until we solve this problem, Raphael. I will not let anything happen to you, my sons. For now…let us get ready…" Sensei ordered softly as his eyes set in determination. I felt like there was a lump in my throat that I couldn't swallow away.

My brothers and I shared a look as we dumped out the cereal and rushed to our rooms to get ready. I decided on simple blue jeans, a white tank top, and a blue Hollister hoodie. It was difficult trying to pull shirts over my head and even more annoying to pull my jeans over my knee brace. I remembered to take my pain medication so I wouldn't be miserable and I combed through my hair before meeting the others.

Raph and Donnie were already done but Mikey wasn't yet. He was still getting ready in his room. Raph wore a red and black Hollister shirt with dark blue jeans while Donnie wore a darkish purple aeropostale shirt and tan pants.

"Ya didn't look surprised," Raph suddenly stated like he was so angry and confused he didn't know what to do with himself. I blinked stupidly at him but realized he wasn't talking to me, but to Donnie, "When Sensei spoke about the lawyer….ya didn't seem surprised. Why?"

Donnie's eyes grew wide and he paled some, "I…I just…don't even know what to think. Saki would go t-this far into hurting Sensei…. I'm not surprised he'd might say something to lawyers…"

Raph eyed him before nodding and Donnie relaxed. I smiled reassuring at him, trying to ignore the dull throbbing in my head once again. The meds will kick in soon.

"I don't want to get taken away from Sensei," Mikey muttered with his arms curled around himself as he glared at the ground. Mikey was wearing a white boggin' hat, he seems to love hats I suppose, along with an orange and white patterned shirt and blue jeans. Why does he always have such stylish looking clothes?

"Don't worry Mikey. Sensei will figure out what's going on and then he will fix it," I comforted as I wrapped an arm around his shoulder.

"Leonardo is right, my sons," Sensei said and we all turned to see him with a cotton white shirt on tucked into black pants and a black tie to top off. I smiled as he joined us and only I was the one able to see that Sensei was still stressed but making an effort to hide it. Ah, Sensei really was worried about this. But everything will be okay somehow. I'll make it okay somehow, "Come, let us leave now. It wouldn't look good on me if we arrived late."

No one said anything as we got into the car. I rode in the passenger's seat to be close to Sensei while Mikey resumed the middle in the back because he fit better there and he didn't complain this time. The ride was silent because everyone was in their own thoughts…or at least that's the case for me.

I was stuck in my worried thoughts as I stared at the passing business buildings. What new thing came up that could change things for my brothers and I? What did Saki find out? What did he do? These questions repeated the cycle until Sensei stopped parked the car at a smaller firm.

Getting out immediately I watched my brothers from the side and frowned when I saw how nervous they looked; Donnie was practically shaking. I slid to his side and smiled at him, "Don't worry Donnie…everything will be okay."

Donnie smiled sadly at me but this was different somehow. I couldn't figure it out and it made me frown at him, "Who are you trying to convince Leo?"

I went to open my mouth to reply but we had to form a line behind Sensei to walk into the building. My brow was still furrowed as I stood beside Raph while Sensei checked in and got the appropriate room number. We took an elevator so I wouldn't have to take the stairs and I felt a twinge of self-loathing again before burying it.

"Sensei, aren't we just meeting your lawyer?" Mikey asked with confusion, breaking the silence. Sensei smiled down at Mikey and nodded, "Then why did the desk lady say "meeting" are we meeting just your lawyer or a group of people?"

"A group of people, my son. My lawyer will be there among a court official and maybe even more people. I was just told that something important came up and to bring you four along with myself here for this meeting," Sensei explained while I tensed the closer we came to the room.

"Oh…" Mikey replied quietly as he shifted closer to Donnie's side, "Okay."

It didn't take long after that before we found the right room. I stood staring wide eyed at the set of brown double doors before Sensei looked behind us with a serious firm face, "Please know that whatever happens I am going to do my best and that I love each and every one of you very much, okay?"

We all nodded, staring at him in surprise before he hesitantly turned forward and pushed the doors open. There was a long table with bunches of chairs but what caught my immediate attention were the people. Saki was even there, standing next to some guy that I've never seen before in my life. The court official was sitting at the end and smiled a bit, "Hello boys, Mr. Hamato. Please sit over there."

Raph was seething as he stared at Saki, who only looked smug, that bastard! Mikey's eyes went wide as he stood frozen at Donnie's side, "D-Dudes…that's the creepy dude that Slash saved me from!"

We all blinked as we began walking and looked at the guy sitting in a chair. The man had dark brown hair, almost my shade, with green eyes a bit greener than Raph's because Raph had amber mixed with his. He was staring at us intently and it made me feel uncomfortable.

"Alright, now that you are all here I will present you with the information!" The court official said, startling my brothers and I from staring at the stranger. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Sensei's lawyer move beside him and whisper in his ear while looking contrite, "Am I to be understood that Leonardo's, Raphael's, and Donatello's adoptions have been processed and completed, right?"

"Yes…yes they have," Sensei replied, licking his lips and looking a bit pale at whatever his lawyer just whispered to him, "And Michelangelo's was to be done soon."

"Ah, yes. There were complications that came up," The court official nodded to Saki and the stranger. I glared at Saki, gripping my fists when I noticed how his gleeful face lit up at Sensei, "First off, legally you no longer have any claim to any of the four boys anymore Mr. Hamato."

"What?!" I blurted before I thought about it and everyone looked at me in surprised, "W-Why is that? What happened?!" Raph growled under his breath while staring at Saki.

"It is because I have claim over you," The stranger spoke up as he looked at me calmly, his eyes looked off but not hostile. If anything he looked somewhat indifferent but like he really did care.

"Tha hell ya do!" Raph shouted with his glare deepening. Sensei shot Raph a look and when I looked over I saw the helplessness in Raph's eyes. I saw Mikey pale as a sheet of paper and Donnie was blankly staring at the ground.

"This is a calm meeting, Raphael," The court official narrowed his eyes at my brother and I felt a bit miffed, "Mr. Nakano-san has all rights towards you four and will be your legal guardian from now on."

"No that can't be right! You can't just take us away from our Father!" I cried, clenching my teeth and feeling the ache in my head return more. Sensei looked very upset at what was happening but why wasn't he speaking up?

"He's not your Father," That Nakano guy said as he stood in his chair. My brothers and I tensed as he looked at us four, "I am your real Father. My name is Nakano Eiichi."

My eyes went wide at what I was hearing. Raph and Donnie gasped but I didn't look over because I could practically feel their shock. The smirk on Saki's face grew even more and deep down I never really hated someone with a burning passion before.

"The DNA evidence has already been proven. He is your biological Father and has all legal parental rights over you that overrule Mr. Hamatos," The court official spoke with a kinder tone this time at seeing our shock, "He will accompany you all back to Mr. Hamatos and you can move in with him immediately as is his rights."

"I cannot believe that I have found all four of my sons in one place. I must thank you Hamato-san. I never thought I'd see them again! I will let them see you, do not worry," Nakano said with a smile but I felt sick to my stomach at the look on Sensei's face. He looked so betrayed and hurt and I just knew that Saki was enjoying this. Did he find this guy? Was he really our Father?

"Now, all the paperwork is being filed and soon I will send you the necessary papers Nakano-san," The court official smiled as he adjourned the meeting. I felt numb and I knew I wasn't alone. As Saki and Nakano moved, my brothers and I stayed silent while never getting up.

I won't abandon Sensei. Surely this is a bad dream. A nightmare. A trick! If I have to move in with this guy…I won't make it easy on him.

He is part of Saki's trick. Sensei will always be my Father. Not this phony.

Oh wow! I knew that people saw this coming! XD More will be explained next chapter. If any of you remember…didn't Karai find documents on Nakano Eiichi in chapter 25? :P

Can't wait to read your thoughts and comments! STAY AWESOME! :3
