1(A/N: I REALLY like this story. This chapter tells how Leo died.)

FLASHBACK

"Hey Leo... Are you ticklish?" I ask. We were on a rooftop... The same one we always hang on.

"Nope." He replies. I creep up to him and begin to tickle him. He just stands there. Dang it. He was telling the truth. Leo grins and looks at me.

"Are you..." His hands go up. "Ticklish?" He questions as he begins to tickle me. I squeal and try to get away from his hands.

"Leo! Stop!!" I laugh. I squirm as he continues to torture me. We begin to chase each other around the rooftop. It was my turn to chase him. I am still laughing and running after him. I hear something, but don't take any notice to it. I don't realize anything different until I run straight into Leo. I look up, about to yell at him for stopping, only to see us being surrounded by tons of Foot Ninjas. I turned and was back to back with Leo. I pulled by bo staff out and got into my defensive position. I turn and see Leo doing the same with his swords.

"You ready Don?" Leo asks, softly. I glare at the Foot Ninjas.

"I better be." I reply.

Then we began to fight.

About half of them were down, when Leo gasped. I turn and see the Shredder. What?! I thought he was dead.

"What do you want, Shredder?!" Leo yelled. I turned to stand beside him.

"What do I want? I want your lives!!" The big piece of metal yelled back at us. I looked and Leo and he nodded. We both jumped at the Shredder. Leo was hit away roughly, while the Shredder grabbed my wrist tightly. I cried out in pain, and continued whimpering. Leo got up, only to see the Shredder have me.

"Put him down." Leo ordered. The Shredder only laughed. My brother gathered his swords and jumped at our enemy with a battle cry. I shut my eyes tightly when I heard metal clash with metal and the following sound of metal entering skin. I open my eyes, to see giant claw-like scratches down his arm. The Shredder threw me and I hit the concrete hard. I look up and see Leo still fighting the enemy. I try to get up, but every time I move shots of pain will course through my body.

I can't help my brother.

I can only watch.

The Shredder puts his hand on the back of my brother's neck and is squeazing it tightly. He screams in pain. The Shredder smiles at the sound of cracking bone.

He is still grabbing my brother's neck. I am screaming and yelling for him to let go. Suddenly, my brother shuts up and the Shredder throws him to the side.

"That was more easy than I expected it to." He stated. I glared at him. "Now, Donatello, I'm going to leave you with him... Even though it is pretty hard to help someone with a broken spine!" That was followed by an evil laugh, and a retreat. I stared at him in disgust before ignoring my pain and crawling over to Leo.

The pain showed on his face. Blood was all over him. I set my hand on the scarlet stained ground beside him. He put his hand on mine.

"D-Donnie... Stop the pain... It hurts..." Leo whispered. I began to cry. I've never seen Leo this weak. I grabbed my brother's swords and set them beside him. I left my hands on the swords and Leo looked at me. "D-Do it Donnie... Make it... Stop..."

I began to sob. What am I supposed to do? My brother is dying here tonight. It's up to me on how he dies. Either by suffering or not suffering.

"It's... It's okay Donnie... Just... Just do it... Make the pain go away..." Leo whispered. I sob louder. I grab the sword with one of my trembling hands. Leo looks at me. "Do it."

He gasped as the sword entered his chest. I look up to his body and see his chest stop moving. My sobs grow louder and louder.

I lay my head on his lifeless body and sob into his skin.

He was the only one there for me.

And now he is gone.

What am I going to do?

PRESENT

I go through the kata slowly and carefully. For some reason, it feels like I am doing something wrong. Leo's voice rang in my head.

Once you are about to kick, pivot your foot and it will bring you around in a circle.

I followed his voice, and smiled, knowing I finally got it right. I felt satisfaction flow through my body. I hear my brother's voice again.

Always be cautious of your surroundings. You never know when something is going to attack you.

I finish and Mike claps. I am feeling confused because of what Leo said in my mind. Why did he say that?

I jump when about five throwing stars are stuck into the wall behind me in a flash. I look and see Raph standing there, grinning evilly. I look to Splinter to see if he was going to say anything about it, but he was just glaring angrily at me.

"Raphael, Michelangelo, retreat to your rooms. I need to speak with Donatello." They obeyed what my master said. I gulped and began to gaze at my Sensei.

"Why did you react like that, my son?! You are supposed to be aware of your surroundings!"

"Master Splinter I..." I started before pain erupted in my arm. I look to see pieces of wood stuck into my arm and a bruise already forming. Master Splinter is standing there holding his walking stick in an attacking position. "What...?"

"You do not talk back to me Donatello. Lately you have been being an awful student... Why haven't you been practicing!?" He snaps. I feel myself weaken at his glare.

"Leo... He... He used to help me..." I start again before more pain enters my arm. More wood in my arm. A bigger bruise forming.

"Do not say that name in this home! We all miss him dearly... It is you who ended his life in the first place." But Splinter began to weaken at my gaze. "So young... Oh, so very young... Why did you have to take him... Why?!" I couldn't it anymore. I left the room and headed out of the Lair. I went to my favorite place to go.

Me and Leo's rooftop.

I sat on the ledge and picked out the wood in my arm. Tears were falling freely down my cheeks. Once all of the wood was out, I was angry. At everyone. Master Splinter, Mike, Raph, Leo... But mostly me.

There was only one way to take out my anger in a place like this.

I checked the area. No one was watching.

I screamed as loud as I could.
