Yay! A Dark Raph and Dark Mikey idea! :D

Dark Raph was fuming, and looking for Dark Mikey. The reason he was looking for Dark Mikey was because he had excellent reason to maul the yellow turtle. Excellent reason equalling no good reason in Dark Leo's book. "Oh can it Leo," snapped Dark Raph. "We're bad guys, we ain't supposed ta have good reasons for anythin'!"

"Raph-"

"Leave me alone Fearless!" The red turtle pushed past Dark Leo and stormed out of the lair to locate the yellow turtle.

"He won't really end up hurting Mikey you know," said Dark Don.

"And why do you say that?"

"Because I, dear brother, know why our little brother did it."

XxXxX

"Mikey!" snarled Dark Raph, approaching the table where Dark Mikey sat chatting with some assorted beings around a table as they played a game.

"Huh?" He perked up. "Hey Raph!" Dark Raph grabbed him by his belt and hauled him upright.

"Wanna explain that new design I had to take four hours to get off my shell?" he hissed. Dark Mikey gave a mock pout.

"You washed it off? But it looked good on you!"

"Define 'good'," he growled. "Wait, on second thought, don't. Just tell your whack job friends that we have to go." Dark Mikey sighed and pushed Dark Raph away.

"Fine, fine, whatever you say, spoilsport." His fellow players were unhappy to see him go, but accepted it due to the fact that he mentioned he needed to spend some family time with his brothers. After all, they had all talked about how much they wished their families would pay more attention to them as individuals rather than just thorns in their sides. "So, what do you want to do now, hmm?"

"I wanna know why you put that design on me!" Dark Mikey crossed his arms. They were in the alley outside now, and his face was shadowed.

"Can you really not guess?" he asked quietly.

"You wanted to drive me up the wall?" suggested Dark Raph.

"No you moron! I wanted you to spend time with me! Even if it was just chasing me to beat me up!" Dark Mikey sighed. "We're a family, but at the same time, we aren't. Leo's always busy brooding or practicing or out gathering info. Donny's always inventing or reading and is generally snappish if you try to get him out of it for any reason other than going to attack the turtles. And you... you just avoid me or yell at me to leave you alone. We don't have family time, we hardly KNOW each other!"

"We're villains, we ain't supposed ta-" Dark Mikey gave a frustrated screech.

"You can be so stupid sometimes! Of all the things you could have got from Raphael, why did you have to inherit his belief that villains are supposed to have no proper feelings? Raph, there's far more to villains than most people see, seeing as most people don't care to look past the exterior to see who the villains really are!"

"Mikey-"

"No, you just shut up and listen to me for-!" Dark Raph interrupted Dark Mikey by hugging him.

"You shut up," he muttered. "Mikey, I'm sorry I never realized before. I'll readily admit I was stupid about the whole thing..." He stepped back. "But will ya give me a chance ta fix things?" Dark Mikey exhaled, worn out from his yelling.

"Yeah, sure," he said tiredly. "If you aren't just saying this to shut me up." Dark Raph shook his head.

"No, I really want ta fix things between us." Dark Mikey grinned, getting enough energy to bound over to his brother.

"Good! Then let's go have some fun!"

"Doin' what?"

"Target practice," Dark Mikey snickered.

Raphael would later say he was just minding his own business on the roof, just watching the city. Of course, what REALLY happened was that he was up there trying to catch Mikey, who would later regret putting itching powder down the back of Raph's shell. 'Course, both of them would agree on one fact. The attack came out of nowhere. On a high road nearby, Dark Raph and Dark Mikey grinned to each other, gave each other a thumb's up, and then chucked their missiles with deadly accuracy. As soon as Mikey was hit, he screamed. What he screamed was what gave Raph pause, causing him to be hit as well. "I'M DROWNING!"

"How can ya drown on-" Raph got hit in the face, so the water balloon exploding cut off what he was going to say. Gagging and coughing, Raph shook his head and blinked rapidly. Looking in the direction the balloons had come from, he saw nothing. A balloon suddenly hit Mikey in the gut, and Raph in the back of the head.

"Fifty points!" a voice said gleefully.

"Nah, that was obviously a hundred."

"Alright," the first voice conceded. "So you've got two hundred, and I've got a hundred fifty."

"Darn right I got two hundred!" Raph whipped out his sai and sliced the next balloon in half, but he still got wet. "Damn!"

"I'd say that's minus twenty points, wouldn't you?"

"Oh shut up, I'm still in the lead!"

"What are the-" Mikey got one to the mouth.

"Not anymore!" crowed Dark Mikey, already pulling back his arm to fling another balloon.

"We'll see how long you're in the lead!" fumed Dark Raph, rapidly whipping off water balloons. Raph dodged as best he could, but he was still hit occasionally. Of course, Raph and Mikey had no idea that they were being observed by their other two brothers and sensei from the safety of the penthouse.

"Do you think we should help them?" asked Don.

"I can see no harm in being targets for water balloons," said Master Splinter, grinning. "Besides, Raphael did need to cool down." Leo chuckled.

"And Mikey did deserve the one that hit him in the mouth."

"Too true," said Don.

Why do I get the impression that Dark Mikey bottled up everything else he wanted to say? ¬_¬ Ah well... At least I finally got an idea for a brotherly experience for the two of them to have! :D The water balloon bit was inspired, in my humble opinion. ;)
