By the time the turtles got back, I was done meditating with Splinter. They had been out for 4 hours exactly. Raph and Mikey were bragging about their battle as usual. Leonardo had a bag in his hand.
He called to me "Come on over here…". Leo doesn't really talk a lot anymore. He's more serious now and less playful. He's mainly only playful to Raph. Raph and Leo can go from best friends to sibling rivalry. Leo is the leader of his three brothers, and Raphael really wanted to be, every since Splinter choose Leonardo to lead, Raph has been jealous and mad at him.
I went over to see what he wanted. He then gave me the bag, it was really light. He insisted me to look inside and take it. I reached in, feeling a smooth fabric material, pulling out a beautiful kimono.
I thankly smiled at him with a nod.
He looked down "it belonged to a very special friend…your mother…" My eyes went wide. All I said was "wh-what?". He spoke again "Her name was A-", but before he could finish his sentence, Donny had his hand on his mouth.
Raphael huffed at Leo "Oh, mighty, powerful Leonardo, you should know by now that Mister work and invent doesn't like to be reminded about you know who…"
Donny had tears streaming down his eyes as Leo broke loose from him. Mikey gave Donny a gentle, brotherly love hug to comfort him. But, the hug wasn't enough. He missed her to death. Suddenly he began to sob, the other two brothers began to talk to their brother, rub his shell, comfort him.
I was about to do the same, until Splinter pulled me away from them, not wanting me to get involved his son's pain and sorrow. "Miss Megumi…You should take your shower and go to bed…we'll take care of Donatello…". He patted my shoulder before letting me go.
I took my mother's kimono, left the room. I took one more look, but before I could see what was happening, Splinter shook his head no not wanting me to see Donny's hysterical crying.
I turned my head back around and went to the shower.
As I washed my hair, I wondered what happened to my mother. Why did Donny cry like that when Leo brought her up?
