XIII - FAIL AND FOLD I

"What'cha watchin', bro?" Mike leaped to the sofa next to Raph.

"Where's yer eyes? It's wrestling, Mikey, as ya should see."

The little brother didn't seem to be bothered by Raph's annoyed tone, keeping up the light conversation:

"Uuuh...lots of violence and occasionally even blood", Mike said, obviously trying to hint something.

"What's yer problem, shell fer brains? Ye've seen wrestling before."

"Yeah, ya watch wrestling very often. Makes me think..."

"Be careful not ta hurt yer pea-sized brain", Raph growled reaching for the remote control to add some volume.

"Ya think ye're getting some sexual pleasure watchin' men and women beat the crap outta each other?"

The remote control was dropped from Raph's hand while he tried to understand his brother's sentence.

"W-what exactly are ya meanin', Mikey?" Raph bored his eyes into Mike's. Michelangelo took his best I'm-so-innocent -face, blinking his big blue eyes at Raph.

"Nothin'. I mean that there are people who have different kinds of kinks, ya know. I just thought --"

"Thinkin' doesn't suit fer ya, Mikey", Raph snarled looking like he was attacking Mike sooner or later.

"To be honest, I really can't take the credit for thinkin'", Mike said cheerfully,

"'Cause Donny an' Leo --"

Mike wasn't even able to finish his sentence when Raph jumped from the couch and ran to Don's chamber, banging the door wide open.

Donatello was sitting at his computer, looking annoyed because he had been rudely interrupted, and looking reserved because the interrupter was Raph.

"Ya fuckin' piece of shit", Raph greeted his brother.

"I see. Apparently Mikey has told you something that has upset you. But if I could --"

Raph stepped in to the room looking angry as hell.

"Ya fuckin' piece of shit have been snoopin' aroun' my business, haven't ya?"

Don massaged his temples, thinking what were the odds surviving the situation without being forced to face violence from his hot tempered brother.

"Well, I have to confess I assisted Leo --"

"Ya have no right", Raph raged taking a step closer to his brother,

"Ya hear me? No. Right."

Don turned his face away from Raph. Don was absolutely on Raph's side with this one. But he didn't want to betray Leonardo either.

Damn Mikey and his cursed gossiping lips!

"Raph...I instructed you clearly how to empty the temporary Internet --"

"I'm ain't listenin' ta that shit, Brainiac, there's no way ya can talk smart yer way out of this", Raph growled taking his sai out.

"Hey! I'm not fighting with you. Go find Leo if you want to rant. I'm going to stay out from your battles."

"Don's right, Raphael. And besides I have few matters to be discussed with you."

Raph turned around to see Leo standing in the doorway, looking gloomy and serious.

"I don't wanna hear ya talkin', bro", Raph snarled, attacking him. Leo got his katana out just in time, and the sound of metals clashing filled Don's room.

"Guys! Not in here!" Don tried, but in vain.

"I don't have a clue where that scornful additude of yours comes from, Raph. I'm worried about this clan. Our family, your family", Leo started while their weapons engaged again, but Leo was able to toss Raph on the other side of the room.

"We are family and we are on the same side. But that doesn't mean I was happy to learn about your...interests..."

"They weren't yers ta be found in first place, Leo!" Raph growled, trying out a new attack on his big brother.

"I did what I had to do! If you only would be more open --"

"And if ya only would understand that not everythin' I do concerns ya!"

"Raphael! We obey the way of ninjutsu. A thought of you running there through the Internet writing...that stuff to people..."

"Leo stop it!" Raph cried out while Leo blocked his attack again.

"...about hurting and chaining and..."

"I'm warnin' ya!"

"...makes me think are you out of your mind? I mean you know what it is --"

"This it is, Leo! I've had enough!"

Raph rushed on Leo once more, making him fall down to the ground. In a blink Raph was on top of his chest, pinning his shoulders tightly against the floor.

"A sadist, Raphael? Is that what you are?" Leo was able to spat to Raph while fighting the bigger sized turtle off from his chest.

"No!"

"Hey, guys...please", Don tried to interrupt them.

"Beating me here, would it excite you, huh?"

"I ain't listening!"

"All those night runs you and Casey used to do..."

Raph raised his fist in order to knock Leo out, but Donatello grabbed his fist in time.

"I've had enough of you two! Go to the dojo, but you're not trashing my room!"
