Hey Hey everyone... I'm sorry I haven't updated for so long. I'll try to make it up to you and start updating more frequently. But... I might be too busy to write sometimes. My study demands a lot of my time.... Well... at least here is Chapter 7 of Rays of Hope: A brother's love. I hope you enjoy it all. Oh and if you have an idea for a chapter don't hesitate to tell me:) I'll see what I can do.

'DONNY!'

The purple masked turtle looked up when he heard her shriek his name. Annoyance visible on his face.

'DONNYYYY!'

He shook his head, who did she think he was? Her errand boy? He wasn't about to go to her, if she wanted something she could come to him herself instead of shouting his name.

'DONNY-HI-HI-HI-HIIIII'

The brainy turtle arched his eye ridge. There was no denying now that she was sobbing. Now if he could only figure out why his hyperactive little sister would be crying.

'Hope?' He called.

'Hope? What is it?'

No answer was given. Sighing, he stood up, resolving to never ever give in to her cries again. She probably trapped herself in the shower once again. That would make this the, what was it… 5th? Time this week that she had done so. Honestly, how the little klutz managed to be so good at ninjutsu was beyond him. He knew she was actually quite bright but she choose to throw away her talents by playing jokes with Mikey all the time. He eventually found her sitting in their room. She had something on her lap but because she was slumped over it, it was hidden from him by her hair.

'Hope?'

She looked up and he saw large tears rolling down her cheeks.

'Donny-hi-hi-hiiii, it's broke… Yuuki is broke-he-hen!' she wailed.

Now he got it, Yuuki was Hope's toy white dragon. It could roar and flap it's wings and Hope was obsessed over it. They found it in the sewers when they were playing there a month before Hope's third birthday. Mikey had found it and after some fighting Leo said that they'd give it to Hope as a present. Donny had been the one to fix the toy. Hope had been overjoyed and called it Yuuki but Mikey insisted on calling the dragon 'Lizzy, 'cause it looks like lizard.' This was the cause of most of their fights. But now the toy was broken and Donny feared the worst.

'Donny, you have to fix Yuuki.'

'No Hope I.…'

'Pwease!'

Oh no, not the puppy pout!

'Hope… no.'

'But why not?'

Oh dear, there are the waterworks.

'You don't love me-he-he-he'

Donny sighed as tears streamed down her face. He never could stand to see her cry.

'Okay, fine… I'll fix it for you.'

'Really Don? You're the greatest.'

Hope flung herself around his neck. He frowned, whatever happened to the tears? He took her back to his little workbench. It was low to the ground so the young turtle could reach it. Donny took Yuuki from Hope and opened the dragon up. He saw what was wrong, there was just a little spring that had snapped. The turtle replaced it and he was rewarded with a roar and a flap of it's wings. How could she not have seen this? It was something very basic, even Mikey could've seen this. Maybe she wasn't so bright after all. Hope jumped on his back, bringing him out of his thoughts.

'Thanks so much Donny, you're the best!'

Donny blushed as Hope kissed him on his cheek. He couldn't help but ask.

'Hope, you could've fixed it yourself, why ask me to do it?'

Hope grinned and winked at him.

'Now that would be telling Donny.'

Donatello stood gaping as he watched her skip away from him, happily cradling Yuuki in her arms.

'What's with her?'

Donny looked up at Raph's question.

'I don't know Raph… Hope is just being Hope I guess.'

'Hmmm, must be up to no good, where's Mikey? If she's planning something he's in on it.'

'I don't think so… I don't know what happened. One moment she was crying real hard and now she's happy.'

'Girls….'

Raph stomped away, leaving Donny to ponder the enigma wrapped in a riddle that was his sister.

Please stick around for the next chapters... I'll update as soon as I have time to write... this may take a week or two. Promise
