Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Come back to me

Donatello walked rather casually through the lair halls. Their home had been remarkably silent for many hours, and a small bit of peace had endued. Leonardo and Michelangelo had both gone topside to clear their heads. Raphael's condition surely, hadn't gotten any better, and the current situation was indeed, taking its toll on all of them.

Leonardo, being the eldest, had serious issues with anxiety. And with the way the immediate eldest's situation was, Leonardo's chances of panic attacks and heart attacks had increased. After the eldest's last panic attack, at least 2-3 hours before, Donatello had told the youngest brother to go and take Leonardo out for some fresh air once everything was calmed.

While Michelangelo and Leonardo were out taking care of themselves, their Master...Donatello scrunched his face up in irritation and betrayal, his teeth baring to the floor as he subconsciously traveled to the medical bay. Their "father" had left them. Left them when they needed him most.
He had just disappeared without even saying anything. Except one thing that left them all with heavy hearts filled with hatred for Splinter.

Donatello's eyes narrowed in rugged anger at the memory of his fathers last words to them before he...left.

"Raphael has no hope left for him. Which stands that there is nothing I can do for any of you."

He had no reason to leave. He just left, and that's what makes all of them feel the hatred. But especially Leonardo since he believed so much in their "Master." Donatello stood in front of the medical bay doors, deep in thought. It was only a blood-curdling scream shocked him out of his thoughts did he come back to reality. The immediate youngest quickly reacted as he burst into bay doors, and was met with something quite unpleasant.

Raphael's back was arched the farthest his shell would allow him to go. His golden diamond eyes were wide, terrified and unfocused. His muscles trembled and jolted violently, pulling against his restraints and screaming as loud as he could.
"NO! N-NO! M'GONNA DIE! HE'S GONNA KILL ME! IM TRAPPED! NO! NO!"
"RAPHIE!"
Donatello sprinted quick over to his brother and immediately grasped both sides of Raphael's face.

Donatello gazed widely into unfocused, terrified and searching eyes, trying desperately to get his big brother to look at him. He had to get him back.
"RAPH! Raph, please! Its ok! Please, Raph! Your ok! Nothings here! Its all in your head Nii-san!"
Raphael obviously wasn't listening, and was starting to panic even more at the sound of Donatello's voice.

The immediate youngest yelped in surprise and pain as he was slapped brutally across the face, his body slamming into a nearby wall as the force of the hit threw him back. Donatello groaned as he tried to blink away the blur from his vision, gasping as it was quickly cleared and saw his deranged brother was free from his restraints. Raphael was indeed a mess.
Dark circles rimmed his eyes, and bags plagued the bottom. His skin was almost two shades lighter, sweat dripping from his body.

There were many scars and bruises littering his skin as there were also many bandages around his body. The purple masked brother was dearly shocked as he continued to drink in the sight of his deeply ill sibling. The only thing that knocked him from his thoughts was the animalistic roar that sounded from in front of him. After being trained in the art of ninjutsu for over 17 years, Donatello was quick roll to his side
and out of the way of the wooden chair flying for his head.

The wooden object shattered and splintered against the wall Donatello once presented at the major force of the throw. The immediate youngest kneeled on one knee, panting as he stared flabbergasted at the destroyed chair. Another animalistic roar rang through, jerking Donatello up from his position on the floor, and facing a blinded by fury Raphael. The olive green turtle gasped distraught, as he couldn't see his big brother ANYWHERE in those eyes.

Nothing was left but the eyes of a monster. An animal filled with pure hatred and hunger to kill whatever it saw. This couldn't be Raphael. No! This couldn't be his knight of a brother! Donatello didn't even have time to do anything before Raphael was sprinting towards him with speed something fierce. The immediate youngest gasped as he just barely dodged a massive punch that left a huge hole through the solid concrete wall of the medical bay.

Donatello was, indeed, shocked and a bit impressed. But the impression was short lived as a glint of metal reflected into his eyes, barely giving him warning of the Sai coming towards his face. How the hell did he get his Sai?! Donatello had no other way to dodge the vexed and fierce attack but to fall to the floor. Never had he fought anyone with moves so fast, and never would he fight his damned brother. But with those thoughts, he wasn't able to dodge the next attack that sliced his leg.
The youngling screamed in agony as white hot pain shot up shank.

"AH! Oh, Damnit! Raph! Please! Its me! Its me, Donnie! You have to snap out of hit!"
Raphael wouldn't hear it. What the youngling said only seemed to piss him off more. Whatever it was Raphael was seeing in his mind, the immediate eldest was indeed doing anything he could to exterminate it. Permanently. Then something hit. Did...did that mean Raphael was trying to fight whatever was happening to him? There was probably still some of Donatello's guardian in those eyes. In that darkened mind.

Blood gushed from the wound in the younger's leg, his hands holding tight to the wound as blood ran through his fingers. Donatello's eyes met deranged golden ones, his light chocolate eyes filled with begging and..determination. Raphael stood intimidatingly as he growled down as his "enemy", his fist bawled to the point where blood was being drawn. The eldest stared down at his baby brother with solid anger and pure hatred as he raised his hand up for the final blow.

Whatever the damned reason was that piece of darkness was so easy to take down, it didn't matter to him. His enemy was defeated, and now he could kill it. He had to get something back, but he wasn't sure what it was. But it didn't matter. He was going to kill this piece of hell and never have to see it again. Donatello screamed as will power flew in as he jumped up and lunged, tackling his brother to the ground as jerking the Sai from his grasp.

Raphael was now utterly pissed, but for some reason...he couldn't move. But..he felt safe, like an angel had taken him into their arms and held him tight. What was this? In distant sound, the immediate eldest could hear..shouting. Who was shouting? What were they saying? This wasn't the same screaming he always heard, but...it sounded almost like..begging. But for what?
"-Aph! -Ease! -Aphie! Raphie, come back to me! Please! Come back!"

Raphael stared into his baby brothers eyes, staring and praying this was the angel he wanted so badly.
"D-D'nn'e."
Donatello gasped again for what seemed like the thousandth time that night. His big brother was coming back to his senses.
"Thats right, big brother. Its me. Its Donnie."
Raphael's eyes had lost that monstrous, animalistic glare and glow, now only holding major confusion.

The immediate eldest just barely registered being pulled into his outoto's arms and craddled deeply.
"D-D'nn'e...d-dn'...g-go."
Donatello buried Raphael's face in the crook of his neck, his arms wrapped tightly around the sickly turtles shell, and his hand cupping the back of his head.
"Never. Never will I leave you, Raphie.
G-d, Raph, I love you."
The youngling placed a gentle kiss on his big brothers nose, tears pouring from his chocolate soles

"I love you so much, big brother. Please, never leave me. Your fighting Raph, your fighting and I can tell. But don't have to do it alone. I'm here for you. All three of us are, and we would never abandon you."
Raphael stared up at his brother with eyes of torment and immense confusion as his baby brother spoke to him. His head was pounding horribly, and his vision refused to go straight.

Everything was spinning and going in every other direction than what it was supposed to be. What was wrong with him?
"D'nn...wh'ts...w-wr'ng...w-w-wh'-"
Raphael wasn't able to finish his sentence for he just didn't possess the strength. Donatello placed another gentle kiss on Raphael's nose, shushing him sweetly as he rocked him side to side.
"Shh...it's ok, Nii-San. Its ok.

Your sick, Raphie. Your just a little sick. I'll make you feel better. We'll fight this together. As a family."
The immediate youngest held to his big brother tightly, allowing his guardian to fall back into slumber with a blank mind.
"We'll fight this together, Raph. I love you, big bro."

Ok, Yea its a bit short, butcha know. ANYWAY. I wanted thank a guest reviewer for giving me this idea of this brotherly fluff. ONE MORE THING PEOPLE! What I'm about to say is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT...THIS STORY IS NOT T-CEST! I was a starting writer back when I first started this story, so I had no idea that a "beak" on a turtle was the mouth. I thought it was the nose, and I give my siblings kisses on the nose all the time, especially since I'm the youngest, heh heh :3 But anyway, like I said, this isn't T-Cest, so there won't be any homosexual pairings (My deepest Apologizes if that offends anyone). Also, another thing everyone might want to note is that, there is no evil Raph, or anything. Its just a part of having something wrong with the brain. I could tell that was bothering a lot of you. And Casey and April will probably not be in this story. We'll just have to see, for I have to find a moment for them to be there. ALSO, there will be no OC's, I hate those things. No offense to anyone else. Through all of the stories I've read, most of people don't like OC's either. Anyway, thanks for reading this chapter, and review and tell me what you think, and what your ideas should be for the next chapter. Thanks again for reading and being such awesome and supportive readers :) I love All of you.
