May and April had been packing their belongings from the turtle's lair for the past three days. Along with that, the two talked to the landlord and a builder, and ordered some new items for their soon-to-be-new-apartment.

For the time being, April stayed with Casey, so that the contractor could come over, and May continued to stay with the turtles and train. She seemed to be getting sick, but that would not stop the stubborn blonde headed girl.

"Good, May. You are getting better. But I think you are a bit confused on the positioning of your elbow." Master Splinter examined her. "Leonardo, demonstrate the winged punch for Miss Gibson, please."

Leo turned over his shoulder to look at her. He nodded and then performed the task, grinning once he finished.

'Cocky bastard!' She thought as he smiled. She did it once more but failed. Master Splinter shook his head. "Leonardo, please aid her while I watch the rest of your brothers." Splinter hoppled away.

May got a sensation of butterflies in her stomach. Not the kind that made her feel lovey-dovey. But the kind of butterflies that made her want to punch him in the face.

She crossed her arms and stuck her tongue out at him. "No wonder Raph hates you." She whispered.

Leo smirked.

He held her elbow and wrist in a very uncomfortable position as her muscle memory started to recognize the spot.

"Okay, now punch!"

She did and before she punched completely, Leo held her arm in the same spot he had before.

"Holy crap!" She flinched. "That hurt!" She couldn't move her arm due to his tight grip on her, but she desperately tried to yank her arm away.

"Again!" Leo demanded.

They continued to repeat the same exercise about ten times. Then Leo stopped holding her. She punched perfectly. "Awesome, May! You did it!" Leo said stunned on the second try. She smiled at him, "Haha! I'm a beast!" She laughed. Leo walked to her and patted her head and then walked past her to his Master's side.

'Damn bastard…'

"Leonardo." Splinter started to say, "I am pleased by your teaching skills to our youngest ninja."

Leo beamed with confidence.

May wanted to break his face.

"I must insist that, my son, in order to better your own training and teaching skills you will mentor Miss Gibson with every lesson after I am done instructing it." Splinter finished, bowing.

May kicked the floor. 'Out of all the turtles in the world! Him? HIM!'

Leo bowed at Splinter and then to May. "Of course Sensei. I am honored."

May died a little inside.

May walked to lunch, alone for the first time that she had been at this school. She always walked with Anna after their Biology class. Today, however, Anna had been missing all day.

May hoped nothing was wrong…

She walked over to her usual spot and sat across from Kala and Lilly.

"Hey so, where's Anna you guys?" May asked the two.

"No clue." Kala responded through her chicken sandwich.

"Yea. I don't know either…" Lilly then took a bite of an apple.

May was concerned. Anna was a straight A, perfect attendance student. Where was she?

"I'm going to text her." May declared grabbing her phone and hiding it in her skirt.

She texted her, "Where ru? Im worrid…" And then hid her phone back in her bag.

Anna texted her within ten minutes.

"Oh my god you guys!" May said shocked as she read her phone. "Anna's house was shot in a drive-by!"

She quickly texted her back, "Is every1 ok? Hows ur house?"

"Yea. We r all ok. But my house isn't. I'll call u aftr skool!" And with that the lunch bell sounded.

May ran to the dojo area after she opened the moving wall. "Guys! There is trouble throughout the city!" She called out to the boys. They stopped practicing and looked at her.

"What are you talking about, May?" Donny asked confused.

She stopped and caught up with her breath. She had ran all the way from Anna's house after school let out. Also concluding why she was late for practice.

"Guys! The whole city is at war. Or at least the underground society is." She panted with every word.

"What the shell does that mean?" Raph crossed his arms.

She took a deep breath as she said, "Anna's house was in a drive by shooting. Luckily, she and her parents sleep upstairs, but her whole bottom floor is ruined. She said it was a drive by of the Mobsters and the Purple Dragons. Then she found out from the police that a couple of other people have gotten involved with attacks caused by the Purple Dragons, the Mobsters, and the Foot!"

She breathed again as the turtles continued to listen. "Also, the police told Anna that they have found out that the reason these gangs are fighting is due to territory. Apparently the shredder kept the balance of this issue and with him gone, there is no one to control this issue. Numerous of innocent people are getting hurt. We gotta do something!" She stopped and fell to the floor.

"Anna, Kala, and Lilly. Even me, April and Casey can get hurt just because these goons are being idiots…" She cried.

The turtles were gloomy. This wasn't their fault. They had only killed the Shredder because it was the right thing to do. But now it was the wrong thing to do? They were confused.

Especially Leonardo.

"But we shouldn't get involved with this, May." Raph objected. "The police should handle it. They always do."

May had been shaking by now. She was so caught up in the ordeal. 'But don't they understand that I could die. Innocent people will die!'

Donny helped her to her feet.

She cupped her aching head in her hands. "I, I can't fight today Master Splinter. I gotta. Sleep. Get this out of my head." She walked away towards the upstairs.

As soon as she entered Mikey's room, she peeled off her clothes and crawled into bed only wearing her bra and panties.

"Gotta stay focused. Nothing will happen…right?" Her head pounded, the same pain that had happened when Hun had thrown her against the brick wall.

She cried. "I just want to sleep until this is over with…" she whispered to herself.

However, the blue bandanna turtle heard her, as guilt and sorrow washed over his body.

Three days had passed since Anna's house had been attacked.

The news reports were starting to talk of the violence in the city diming down and by the third day, there was little to no violence at all. May stayed with April and Casey throughout the past three days. She wanted nothing to do with violence or training. She just wanted the stress of the fighting to escape her brain.

On another note, April and May's brand new apartment was finally done being reconstructed.

It was Saturday morning and April, Casey, May and Anna drove over from Casey's to their new home.

"Ahhh! May! It's soooo exciting to see you have your new house again! Oh and April, I must say I love your shop, and you have no idea how hard it's been for me to not visit!" Anna smiled making small talk. It was all true. Anna had first seen May in April's shop. It wasn't until she got into that fight at school that the two even became friends.

"So, is our furniture and stuff all in there yet?" May asked looking out the window.

"Yea. It should all be in there. That doesn't necessarily mean it will though." April replied laughing.

Shortly after the conversation, they arrived at the new building. May and April looked amazed by the sight. It was ten times nicer than the old apartment building. They all walked in an giggled. The furniture and appliances were all in place, as if nothing had ever happened.

"Well, it's not getting any earlier today!" Casey started, "Let's go start unpacking." He and Anna walked back to the car.

May ran over and hugged April. "It's amazing." She whispered.

April laughed and squeezed May a little harder. "We are so lucky that we have the best of friends, and of course, each other." She smiled getting herself worked up. "I love you, May."

"I love you too, Aunt April."

May left early from unpacking to go train with the turtles. She was afraid that they would be upset with her skipping practice. But she had felt sick. Even today, she felt sick. However, she knew if she didn't come today, it would be hell later on.

And it wasn't like she was missing anything important. After all she'd have Leo re-teach her everything she missed. Besides, missing was ten times better than training with Leo. She was aggravated that Splinter would do such a thing. Really? How could he?

Yet, May just took a deep breath. Maybe it wouldn't be that bad.

'Yea right…' She thought.

She had a fairly painful headache coming on as she clicked the code to open the moving wall. As soon as it moved aside she caught a gust of wind nearly knocking her back.

"MAY! You're back!" Mikey ran over and helped her up.

"Hey Mikey!" She laughed. "How are you guys? Did you all hear that the gang violence is gone?" She smiled walking up to them in the dojo.

They laughed. "Yea. We are kinda one of the reasons why it's gone." Leo announced.

"Or actually, Leonardo the Great over here got all hero and made us go after all of that crazy nonsense!" Raph pouted.

May smiled. "Well, I'm glad you all did because now me, April and Casey and all of my friends are safe!" She then felt lightheaded.

Why? Why now? She was about to get back into her training.

She thought having the weight of the whole city on her shoulders was making her sick. But now was she just having a relapse?

She shook it off as Master Splinter went over some moves that they had learned.

They practiced a few easy punches and kicks for about a good hour or so. Then Splinter stopped them, "Now that you have learned the basics, we shall put them together and practice the Dragons Furry attack. Miss Gibson, this is a running grab, into a kick and a punch that you just learned. Leonardo, come and demonstrate with May. My other sons let us train this way." Splinter motioned for the boys to go the opposite way.

May looked over at Raphael. She gave him a look that said "Help-me!" He gave a pissed off look to her.

"Alright, so Dragons Furry, kinda hard, but a good way to disarm your opponent." Leo stated thinking very hard.

May rubbed her head. "Uh huh. Awesome." She just wanted to sleep. Her head was pounding.

"Alright so let's start."

The two practiced for about another hour or so. May could feel her body getting weaker and weaker every second.

"Is it just me, or is it starting to get cold in here?" She asked Leo as they stopped.

Leo looked at her concerned. "No, it's just you. Come on, try again."

She was starting to get the hang of this trick, but she was just so exhausted.

"Leonardo. How are you both?" Splinter asked breaking from their training.

May ignored the two and held her head in her hands, shaking due to how cold it was or rather she was.

"Uh, I think it would be better if we went outside to work on this. More leg room and fresher air, you know?" Leo said. He knew something was wrong with May. But he did not want to let down Master Splinter's task of training May.

"Yea! I agree Splinter sensei!" Mikey hopped up.

"Fine by me my sons. Leonardo. Keep your brother's and Miss Gibson under a close watch!" Splinter then walked to the kitchen.

Leo nodded. "Come on you guys." His brothers were way ahead of him though. But May was gracefully walking at a slow pace.

"Do you need help?"

She glared at him. "You already teach me. There's nothing else I want your help in!" She then started to run after the rest of the boys.

As the group reached the rooftops, Leo started training his brothers and May right away.

May didn't want to train anymore. She started shivering in the warm breezy April night, but had no clue why she was sooo freaking cold. She and Leo trained in silence and she felt her strength decreasing. And Leo was starting to get annoyed.

"Okay May, Since you're not attacking the air with as much strength or power as you should," He walked across from her and stood with his arms crossed. "Attack me. Now."

She gasped. Doing so would make her feel a lot better, if she hadn't been feeling like shit at the moment. She panted, clutching to her knees and nodded.

'If that's the way you want it Leo.'

She then stood up and ran towards him, she grabbed his arms, kicked him in the knees and shins and then punched him in the stomach. Leo fell to the floor with a thump; May did the same. Leo quickly stood after a moment or so. May clutched her stomach. She wanted to throw up. Even as she was down on the cold hard floor, the room was spinning and she continued to shiver due to the "cold."

"Come on May! Stand up!" Leo picked her up to her feet. She moaned and carelessly walked back to her spot across from him.

"May! Don't give up! You can do it!" Mikey cheered for her.

"Leo, stop this. May's obviously tired! And she did it! Leave her alone!" Raph growled at his elder brother.

"Quiet Raph, she can do this!" Leo commanded, looking dead on at May. 'She did it amazing just now. So I know she can do it once more!' He thought.

May breathed hard. She was so lightheaded it was crazy.

'Am I just nervous? Why am I struggling so damn hard? I knocked him out once. I can do it again.'

She lifted her head and cracked her knuckles.

'I can do this!' She ran in for the attack, but slowly and all at once her feet stopped working. Her eyes rolled back to the top of her head and she fell.

Leo stood still as she ran at him. He knew that she must have been tired. But he had always gotten tired and never once did Master Splinter go easy on him. She looked up and then darted towards him. He saw the anger in her eyes, but just then the anger faded. Her eyes rolled back into her head and May began to lose control of her footing.

All at once, Leo darted towards her and luckily catching her before she hit the solid ground.

"MAY!" His brothers call out to her and crowed around their leader.

"May? May, please open your eyes!" Leo cried. He sat down and cradled her in his strong arms. He hadn't realized it before, but May was sweating fairly heavily.

Salty tears escaped out of May's closed eyes and carefully Leo placed his left hand over her forehead. "Oh my God! May, you're burning up!" He quickly pulled his hand away almost as if her hand burnt him.

Just then May threw Leo to the side and she stood up walking away. "What the-?" Leo started but stopped as May puked all on the floor.

She lost control in her feet again, but Leo quickly caught her once more. "I, I- I JUST WANNA GO HOME!" May screamed at the top of her lungs as tears poured from her eyes.

"So great leader, what do we do?" Raph taunted his older brother. Leo thought for a moment. Then said, "Quick, call April. We are taking May to the hospital." Leo stood up with May still in his arms.

"Donny! Don, why am I like this? Help me, please!" May started to cry. She thought to herself, after all it was Donny who basically lead her back to health after her fight with Hun.

Raph quickly called April as May continued her crying. "April? Hey, it's Raph, listen May's really sick. She has a high temperature and she's throwing up. Meet us at Court Yard Hospital in ten!" Raph shouted as quickly as he could.

"OH No! Raph, tell me. Is she falling asleep?" April sounded very worried. Raph looked over at the girl, her eyes were closed and her breathing was starting to slow even as she continued to moan and cry. "Yea, a lil. Why, is it bad?" He asked confused.

"Oh god, DO NOT LET HER FALL ASLEEP! May probally has this deadly virius that's been going around! It's called the sleepy flu! If she falls asleep she could go into a coma, or worse die! PLEASE RAPH! HURRY TO THAT HOSPITAL AS SOON AS YOU CAN!" And with that, April hung up.

"HOLY CRAP! We gotta get her out of here! NOW! To the hospital and whatever you do Leo," Raph ran over to May and pinched her arm causing her to scream and also wake up. "Do NOT let her fall asleep!"

Leo was confused at first but followed Raph as they made their way to the hospital. He didn't know what was wrong with her. Was it something he had done that made her like this?

He noticed she stoped crying and started to sleep. "Wake up!" He said and pinched her leg. She cried and punched Leo in the chest. It didn't hurt one bit, her punch was so weak.

The gang quickly made their way to the side of the hospital. They hid in an alley way and watched for April. Leo sat May up against a wall and quickly pinched her once more. This time, instead of crying, May threw up to the side of her and then started to cry.

"There she is!" Mikey spotted April running from her parked car. Raph then carefully picked May up and ran over to April.

"Call us as soon as you can!" He said putting May in April's arms. April nodded and kicked open the hospital doors, charging in.

The turtles waited out in the alley for April's call. They were all very nervous, and the tension between the four of them was very thick.

"This is all your fault!" Raph spat at Leo. "How is this my fault, Raph? Honestly, it's not like I made her get sick!" Leo defended himself.

"What do you think is wrong with her Don?" Mikey asked nervously. "I don't know-"

"April said she must have had Sleepy Flu. Apparently if she falls asleep she'd go into a coma or die. That's why I pinched her." Raph crossed his arms.

"Oh. I've heard about that." Donny recalled. "It's been going around lately, guess May must have caught it. She was feeling pretty bad during the whole city at war thing. And then after." Donny rubbed his tired eyes.

Just then, Raph's phone rang.

"Hello?" He answered. "Okay, we will be right there." He hung up. "April wants us to go into the room. Top floor, room 560."
