Chapter 4:

We all sat there still tangled. Usagi still has my chain around his right wrist and Donatello's around his left leg. I work my way out of the chain around my hip and the other slung around my shoulder... why'd these stupid things have to stretch and tangle so easily?

I look up when I hear Usagi chuckling, and I'm pretty sure everyone is too.

"Hahaha, Leonardo-san it seems you, your brothers, and I, destines are truly 'tangled'! We all must look very silly, do you need a hand my friend, and it seems very tangled around your leg." I saw him put his paws on mine as a sign for them to move.

I swallow slightly loudly and nod removing my hands as his paws gracefully work there way around my thigh getting it untangled. I feel my face flush when I hear Raph growling and Don hissing slightly... I think.

Mike's working with Don though to get him to untangle the chain around his throat. I turn and see Don sighing giving out littlest brother his full attention. Mike whimpers and Don slightly stiffens and inches closer helping Mike breath better by getting rid of the chain.

I feel a warm paw pat my thigh and I turn quickly to see my hazel eyed friend looking at me with a soft calm gaze, one I rarely see around here. I smile slightly and realize his hand still is on my paw. He notices too and redraws quickly. He clears his throat and says

"M-My apologies Leonardo-san!" He finishes slightly embarrassed. I smile wider and laugh kindly

"Heh, no problem Usagi." He smiles and we stare at each other for a few seconds... But then I feel someone else tap my shoulder- very hard. I turn to see a VERY pissed off Raph, I blink a few times before realizing he grabbed my wrist, and instantly I elbow him glaring slightly.

"Raph what the hell?" I snap, and that gets everyone's attention, including Dons and Mikes who were just in the middle of some kind of talk/staring contest. Usagi stands, completely untangled, Raphs grips my arm again and it tightens.

I hiss in pain and try to yank it free, I stand too and so does Raph. His auburn eyes show fire, anger, and something like... no not envy... disgust? No... wait I think its... jealousy? I see that alot but it looks, different. Like the kind Don had this morning.

Oooo... Raph is jealous of Usagi! I mentally slap my self feeling slow as Mike. I sigh but put a hand on Raphs. "Raphael... please calm down, listen you really don't need to-"

Usagi intervenes pushing Raph back slightly and gripping his wrist making him let go, probably hit a pressure point in his wrist. He growls deeply, and I feel a shiver run over my spine.

"Raphael, you should never lay a hand towards your BROTHER, that is unforgivable." Usagi stays calm as Raph snaps his wrist away from him. He draws out his sai and Usagi stands straight and tall.

"Fuck OFF, ya God damn rabbit! Just stay outta this! Yer not part of our family, and ya may be Leos friend, but ya sure as hell not MINE!" Raph gets into his stance and as I'm about to step between them, Usagi puts a hand in front of me. He glances at me reassuringly but I stare.

What is he thinking? No one can cool Raph off, except me- sometimes.

"Raphael, I know this. And I do not care if I am or not, though I would rather be your friend than enemy or rival..." His eyes turn to anger and I continue staring back and forth. I shouldn't let this go on... but maybe I should see where this is heading, besides a fight.

Which can't work hence, Raph and I our chained together. And I am NOT fighting Usagi again, nor will I fight my brother. I push them both Usagi is a bit taken back while Raphs heart beat I feel going faster and faster cools down dramatically. I don't look at either of them and sigh.

"Look you guys, were all just a bit jumpy ok? Its really hot in here and with Raph and I being chained, and Don and Mike being chained," I glance at them and Mikes getting up offering Don a hand who stares at it blankly and takes it slightly blushing. "so where all still having trouble adjusting. Why don't we all just take a break?"

Raph takes a deep breath and exhales; his hot breath tickles the side of my face as he withdraws his sais.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever ya say Fearless." I smile slightly and turn to Usagi who still has a glare on Raph but softens when he looks at me. He smiles kindly and nods

"Yes, I am sorry my friend, I will do my best to control my temper. Please forgive me." Usagi bows and shows his respect and I feel some pride well up in me, again I rarely see any form of respect from any of my brothers, least of all Raphael.

I bow back and close my eyes. But then I practically jump out of my skin when I feel someone grab my tail.

"O-Oi!" I squeak and slap Raph's hand. He smirks slightly and has a smug look in his eyes. Usagi stands and blinks a few times.

"Is something the matter Leonardo-san?" I shake my head and refuse the embarrassed blush. I hear Mikey and Don whispering. Dons are a little more... harsher but Mikeys giggling.

I glare at Raphael and he tries to give me a innocent look. Pfft, Raphael is the exact opposite and cannot pull it off. But... it does look sort of good on him. I sigh and smile to Usagi, while shaking my head.

"No not at all, I was just... pulling a nerve. I think I over did it, how about we retire in the living room?" Mike jumps on my back grinning.

"TOTALLY! Dudes lets all play this new game I got from Angel, its called 'Return of the Zombie Godzilla 4', four, fouuur, fouuuuuuurrrrr~" Mike cooes the 4 part and Don tugs his chain.

"Sorry Mike, but I have alot of work to do-" Dons interuptted by Mikes whine

"But ! Come on! We ALWAYS do what YOU want! Can't we just play one round? Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase~!" Mike trades my shell for Dons plastron. He hugs him tightly lifting one foot and Donnies backed to a corner. He knows that he cant win when Mikes pulling that cute act, and damn it works.

Don sighs and nods.

"F-Fine... but just one round." Mikes face lights up and Raph chuckles and so does Usagi. "Hehe Dons little uke boy got 'im to say yes, hm..." Raph glances at me and I mouth 'drop-dead' and he smirks wider. Damn pervert.

Usagi clears his throat and we all turn our attention to him. "Shall we go?" We all head to the living room, Mike sits on the floor next to the recliner where Dons sitting holding the game controller in a board fashion, I sit on the couch with Usagi and Raph on either sides of me.

"Ah my sons and Usagi-san, I shall be gone for a while, I need to go scouting." I stand and Raph rolls his eyes.

"Do you wish for me and Raphael to go with you Master?" Sensei hesitates and smiles nodding.

"... Ahh yes, that would be nice my son. Thank you, Michaelangelo, Donatello, Usagi-san, would any of you wish to come as well?" We turn and see Donnie shrugging but Mike shakes his head

"Nah, no thanks sensei, me and Don will play this new game for a bit then Donny NEEDS to work in his lab!" Yeah, I think we can all tell that Mikes just using Donnie as a excuse, Don lingers his gaze at us... or me. But nods.

"Yeah, sorry sensei I really need to get to work." Don turns back to the T.V screen, and he and Mike start playing.

"I'd like to come Splinter-san, if you sure its alright." Usagi gets up and stays by my side making Raph stand as well on my other side. Sensei nods and we head out. Raph comes closer and whispers

"Leo, I hafta tell ya something later... when big ears aint 'round, kay? Its... Its really serious..." I give him a look and nod. The look on his face is nervous and really scared. What's he so scared of? The only things I know Raph to be scared of are spiders, losing someone close to him, losing, and rejection, since we were from most humans.

And anything that rejects him he begins to hate, and he does hate humans and a few other things... execpt for a few humans. I look forward again.

After we come back to the lair a few hours later its all quiet. The lights are all on and so is the video game, its screening 'GAME-OVER' and Donnie's Lab door is open slightly.

"Ah they must be working... my sons, Usagi-san, I shall sort out all of our findings tomorrow morning, it is getting late, I shall be in my room meditating." We all nod and bow.

As soon as he leaves I say in a hushed tone

"Alright, Usagi-san, is it alright if you sleep on the couch tonight?" Usagi smiles softly and nods

"Yes Leonardo-san that would be most acceptable, thank you." Raph sighs and taps his foot. I roll my eyes and bow "Then Raphael and shall retire in our bedrooms tonight, see you in the morning Usagi." He nods as Raph drags me up the stairs, when we pass Don (and Mikes room now too) we hear snoring...

Raph pulls me into my room.

"Damn, thought we'd never get to be alone..." I turn to face him and he locks the door with his shell towards me. I take a deep breath, I won't let him seduce me, especially not for his own sick way of gratitude or redemption- or whatever the hell he calls it!

"Raph..." I warn in low voice. He turns and hes looking down, like hes... still scared. What's up with his bipolorism?

"Uh Leo... t-t-theres someth'n I need ta tell ya..." I blink and nod. I walk to my bed and sit down but he just stands by it. Wow this is new.

"What is it Raphie, you know I'll listen to you." He nods and shuffles his feet, right now he does look innocent. He looks completely vulnerable and very... cute- !

"Well... Leo, I've kinda been lying to ya, and well- m-my self. I didn't wanna give you a good time jus cause I thought you deserved it or anything, but because..." He takes a deep breath and turns his dark passionate eyes at me, and I feel my heart racing.

What the shell is going on? I-Is he... no, no, he couldn't be... could he? I feel myself sitting straight, anxiety churning in my stomach, just say it!

"L-Leo, I... I have feelings for ya...!" I blink and feel myself fall back when I'm sitting straight. Raph's face is a dark green and he's staring at me, sweat drops forming on his temples.

We sit in silence and he slowly leans closer, I freeze, my personal bubble is being invaded. 'Leo do something! Hes going to kiss you, HE is going to KISS you, your BROTHER!' I hear myself say that but I can't do anything.

He leans closer and breaths out

"If ya want me ta s-stop...just say so...Leo..." He finishes as his breath tickles my beak. I feel my face heat up and my breath speed up. I-I need to stop this but I don't want to! I push away everything and close my eyes as my door is clicked open...
