END OF AUTHORS NOTE

Leo slowly blinked his eyes opened and sat up, the covers slipping off his chest as he stretched. Time for meditation he thinks, his mind still fuzzy with bed bugs. He gets up and walks off to the dojo, his feet not making a sound on the wooden floorboards (DUH! He's a ninja!)

As he enters the dojo, he hears a sound from Master Splinter's room. He was between respect for his master and curiosity. Curiosity won and Leo peeked through the half closed door. Sensei was gathering different belongings up. Spring Cleaning? Was Leo's first thought but he quickly banished it as he saw a bag being packed. But the Battle Nexus isn't for another 2 years. Where was he going?

Leo decided to acknowledge his presence with a small greeting. "Good morning Sensei" The old rat nearly had a heart attack. He turned and smiled at his eldest son. "Oh! Good Morning my son! Why, you scared me. Please make a ruckus next time you are coming to visit" he replied with the same smile.

Leo smiled back and walked into the room until he was in front of his father. Once there he dropped to his knees and bowed his head in respect. Master Splinter bowed his head. "Now, what troubles you my son?" he asked. Leo raised an eyebrow and asked "What's with the packing? Where are you going? The battle nexus isn't for another 2 years so don't tell me it's that. Are you leaving us?" Master Splinter just stared at his son lovingly. "I would never lie to you, Leonardo," he said "I would never leave you also. I am going on a trip to visit an old friend. In Japan. I won't be back for 2 weeks so I am leaving you in charge of your brothers and the lair." Leo nodded. "Hai Sensei"

Sensei simply rested a hand on Leo's shoulder. "Take care my son. But I won't leave until tomorrow morning." Leo simply nodded and stood up to hug his father. His father returned the affection with the same amount of love. He then stood back and nodded. Leo took this as a sign that he should leave. He walked out of the room and realised he would only have time for Kata's today. He bowed his head once more and left the room.

He didn't know why, but he loved doing Kata's. They made him feel peaceful and smooth in his movements. It seemed like hours until Raphael trudged in still sleepy. He simply gave a nod to his older brother before beating up the punching bag. Leo returned the nod before going back to his katas. Soon his genius brother and the fruit loop walked in. Mikey looked wide awake and on a sugar high, ready to bounce of the walls in an instant, while Donnie followed in calmer with a thoughtful expression.

Splinter came in and all sons stopped whatever they had been doing (Leo-Katas, Raph-Punching Bag, Donnie- Staring into space, Mikey- talking about God knows what)

"My sons, I just wanted to let you know, that I am going away for two weeks to visit an old friend of mine. Leonardo will be in charge and hope that you can leave each other in 1 piece each" he said to his sons. They all bowed their head and said, "Yes Sensei"

They trained until 9:00am when Mikey declared that it was time to eat. He raced to the kitchen and got different ingredients while setting up his Ipod. All the turtles had a different taste in music. Donatello loved classical orchestra while Mikey was into a bit of country music. Raph was into all the rock and punk music but Leo had a combination of all of them. His personal favourites were either Amnesia by Guy Sebastian or Sk8er Boi. He also liked the sound of the cello or piano. He also like the guitar.

He headed out of the Dojo and into the kitchen along with his brothers when he remembered their conversation last night. "Master Splinter!" he called out, "We were wondering if we could go topside for a patrol. We haven't been in a while so…" he trailed off uncertain of what to say. His father just smiled and said "You can choose now. I trust you, but don't get into unnecessary fights hai?" Leo nodded and went to break the news to his brothers.

FREEDOOOOOOMM!" Mikey sang as he gave his brothers jazz hands before getting back to his cooking. Don just laughed while Raph rolled his eyes. Leo took a seat next to Don who smiled at him.

The day from there rushed by- having pancakes with bacon in them (surprise!) and an extra 3 hours of training with a great patrol (no beating punks up much to Raph's disappointment) and a late night turn in.

It seemed like minutes after Leo crashed when he suddenly heard a loud crash. He leaped out of his bed and grabbed his katana's ready. He carefully walked out of the room and came face to face with a green creature covered in white…. Wait… is that… MILK?

"Raph?"

I hope you all enjoyed my second chapter! please review!
