Hi all, I am so fricking sorry for the misspellings at chapter 3! i had no idea about that until i got home and checked! i wrote it in school and it has no thing that marks misspellings! please forgive me! :'3

oh and i hope it's alright that i jumped over a year and 4 months with Leo in the jungle? i couldn't come up with anything else :'(

~1 year and 4 months later~

"There! That were I saw him!" The young boy said to the red haired traveler, she removed her sunglasses and looked at the tree "Thank you, you better get home now" She said and started to walk while the boy asked "Do you know the ghost?" The traveler turned around and looked at the child.

"He hasn't always been a ghost" April O'Neil said and left, she walked through the jungle with a thought in her mind, thinking of the possible person who could be this ghost the kids was talking about, this morning the village had got back it's belongings by the ghost who had got the soldiers away and sended their truck to the center of the square.

The belongings had been stolen the previous night and the tales of the other heroic things this 'Ghost of the Jungle' had done, April smiled when she thought about it and kept cutting the huge leaves before finding a weapon, she placed the sword on his back and examined it before looking around.

"Hello? Is anyone here?" April got up and followed the sound of something moving in the bushes be fore the ground under her gave up and she fell through a hole, but she didn't hit the ground.

"It's a long way from the city just to drop in"

April's eyes snapped open and went wide when she saw her savior, a giant turtle with a blue mask around his dark brown eyes and katanas strapped on his shell in a X-shape...the one she had been looking for!

"Leo"

"You came all the way down here to look for me?" Leo asked as he got more fire wood in the fire and sat down.

"Actually I was here in business, but then the local legend started to sound familiar so I decided to sneak around"

"What kind of business?" Leo asked as he moved the burning logs.

"Ancient artifacts, some guy with to much tyfon has asked me to collect a 3 000 year old statues" (A/N: time xD i was looking at the movie and writing at the same time...i know i cheated -_-')

Leo didn't looked surprised when he heard that, after all, April had been hanging with four turtles for some time and she thought this collector-guy was weird so wasn't it even more weird to be with four giant turtles and a rat? He chuckled a little before he spoke.

"Well you've always run with the strange crowd April" "Ya well...Our strange crowd hasn't been the same without you" April said and that made Leo look up, so she started to tell him about the things back home and about his brothers. Donnie worked as a IT-Tech support and Leo wondered why his genius brother had taken a job like that? Had he been drinking to much coffee again and had been hyper? Mikey had completely lost it and started his own as Cowabunga Carl and attended on kids birthday parties...Which sometimes didn't end happy for him but he was a big hit.

Leo sighed and gave in "Alright let's here it, what's Raph doing?" He felt like he had to know what that hot headed brother of his had been doing the past year, "Noe one really know...He just sleeps all day" April said and shrugged, no one really saw Raph any more, sometimes Casey did but not as often now.

Leo was moving the logs in the fire again so April took the chance "Your training period ended a year and four months ago, and Splinter says that you don't write anymore" Leo felt his body and everything in side him freeze to ice...A year and four months? He had almost been here for two years? It could be right!

"Splinter sended me down here to become a better leader, I can't go back like a failure... Beside, these people need me more then my brothers do" He said and tried to puzzle the news together, how could he have been here that long? And why had his father stop write to him? And his brothers?

"If master Splinter were here, he'd ask what is your heart telling you?" April asked and looked at him, Leo sighed and stood up "I don't know...It's just that some thing's missing" He said and tossed the long stick he had been using on the logs into the fire.

"Your brothers need you Leo...They are lost with out you" April said and when she looked up again, Leo was gone.

"LEO!"

Leo sneaked to the post office and grabbed the bunch of letter that was about to be send back to New York, he found the familiar hand write of Mikey and took off with them in a thing grip, once he found a good place to stop he got the thread off and went through the dates of the letters and started to read the first one:

Mikey~

Hey bro!

How are things there? still sunny huh? It's raining here and we aren't allowed to go out and here's a weird news flash:

Splinter wanted Donnie to be the leader!

Both he and Raph yelled that you had chose Raph to be the leader and we had been following him till Splinter said that, Raph got so pissed that he teared half the lair apart and Donnie yelled at Splinter that he wasn't fit for it and left the lair...Usually it's Raph who leaves the lair but now is the opposite, Splinter didn't say much and i said that I wasn't sure if you really had said all that.

I'm still trying to keep up with the work, you know about it? it's...Nah, if I tell you it might blow your brain and think I've lost it so I'll shut my mouth now!

Hope you get back soon bro, I didn't get an answer from you last time...Are you okay? Hurt? Sick? those kind of things has given me nightmares for weeks now and i always tell my self 'Is he okay? Is it a warning?

I miss you big bro! Love you more the a dumb pizza! You can get those but not the best big brother in the universe!

Mikey!

Leo wiped the tears and hit him self, Mikey...His happy, cheerful little brother was suffering! Not knowing if his big brother was alright! He couldn't believe he had been such a complete idiot! How was he supposed to keep the count of day while making a infection got away?

One of the soldiers and got him by surprise and had got a cut over his plaston and his left arm, he had cleaned them every hour for nine days to be sure...Or...He thought it had been nine days but now when he thought about it...It could have been longer, he opened the second letter with Donnie's hand write:

Donnie~

Hey big brother.

First of all...I think I'm about to lose it!

Raph disappears every night and I've failed big time on the leader thing...I failed you I guess, Splinter thought that it would be good for me to be the leader! We have beebn following Raph for two weeks adn everything thing went fine and now he spits out 'Donatello I want to you to be the leader for now'

I was close to pass out! And I lost my lunch as well! Plus that I was feeling terrified when your last letter came, we've senned several letter but no answer came from you, Mikey had a nightmare about you fight some kind of hunter soldiers and one of them cut you in the chest...Are you okay? Are you sick? Are you hurt at all?

Please come back home big bro...I miss you and I can't keep Raph down here anymore, all we do is fighting and end up getting hit in the jaws by Mikey...I mean he sent RAPH flying out of the dojo for god sake! And I got a one-way ticket in the wall! Nither we or Splinter knew he was that strong! He even yelled his lungs out and his voice got hoarse!

Mikey is gone! He's not playing, joking...Our funny Mikey is gone and it's like a demon has taken over him! When Raph tries to talk to him he just calls him either an idiot or a bloody killer!

Can you believe that Leo? That Mikey would say that? Mikey never does and...I don't know what has happened to this family any more!

I just want you home...You are better on keeping the family together then I am...I'm not you!

I'll never be...Please come home soon...

Donatello~

Leo stood up before he literally hit his forehead in a tree and sighed and repeated the move over and over, telling that he was such an idiot for every hit and then stoped when he tought about Raph, he went back to the pile of letters and found Raph's hand write, he took a deep breath and started to read, the words seemed to be from both the mind and the heart of his brothers and both pasts was devided, Leo could see that his brother was broken and had given up...

But wanted him to come home.

Raph~

Hey bro

I know I promised that I would write when I could and I have but you never anwser anymore! Are you still breathing? If you are okay and alive then come home! I can't live like this for another year! You were sopossed to be back a year ago but when the next two days went we started to freak out, Mikey and Donnie started to pack and I had a yell-fight (Again) with Splinter, he didn't want us to go but you weren't back and thought that something ahd happened to you!

He forbid us and all we could do was to try keep our hearts in our chest and I tried NOT to blow up...You think I managed?

I blowed up!

Mikey took cover when I took my anger out on the wall which hasn't been fixed yet, guess what's abouve the hole? You'll see iof you get you shell home if you are alive at all! Donnie and I can't even talk to each other anymore and all I do is yell at Splinter...I know I'm just make things harder but I'm starting to give up.

I'm not gonna follow anyone anymore! Home or not! You're not the boss anymore...Well...Not to me at least, ut if you are out there why aren't home!

I thought you were gonna keep your word!

But you didn't.

Raph~

Leo wiped the flood of tears and looked up, April was right...His family needed him more then these people, the village was safe for now and they had learned to protect them selfs so what use was it to stay here? He had a family 2, 000 miles (A/N: or is it 20, 000 miles?) that needed him and he had made his family think that he was dead, his eyes fell on the last letter which had his father's hand write on.

"Now or never I guess" Leo said and opened it...And everything inside his body exploded.

that would be enough i think, this chapter is getting WAY to long! Splinter's letter will be writen in chapter five and we'll have a look at the lair as well ^_^ hope everyone finds time and energy to update, read and leave reviews other wise it's okay if you don't, i'll just update as fast as i can ^_^'
