"What's going on, Leo?" Mikey asked. He knew there is this tension and if it's Raph, it's pretty obvious because of his temperamental behavior. But he can't believe Leo and Raph seemed to reach communication.

The red banded brother just left without a word and locked himself in the room. Leo disappeared when Donnie appeared. Splinter gave Mikey a squeeze on the shoulder, as he knew what to do.

"Leo…" Mikey said as he went to the dojo. "I know you're here."

It wasn't long when Leo showed up, he is meditating. "Mikey…"

"Leo… It's about me, isn't it?" Mikey said. He knew Leo's body language, silence is definitely something.

"You should understand he missed you… And he took care of me…"

Leo just looked at him, the young turtle sighed.

"I want to know how you died; I know I'm involved there… But I had to know."

"Mikey… I'm sorry… I can't answer you that…"

"Why not?! I'm involved in that! I had to know!"

"You're not the one who died, Mikey!" Leo said sharply. He pulled his anger down. He messed his relationship with Raph because of this, he shouldn't do it to Mikey.

"Fine then," Mikey stood up and walked away. Leo followed him.

"Mikey, you don't understand."

"If you don't want to tell me, I'll discover it myself!" he said as he walked out the dojo. It's not long when Leo walked and stopped in front of him.

"Alright, then." Leo said and it made Mikey turned his head up.

"We'll have a bet."

And Mikey thought Leo has given up.

"If you learned how I died… Then I'll do whatever you want." He said. "You can make me spill everything or… You can make me leave you forever." He looked down. "But!" his face lit up. "If you didn't, you had to follow anything I said."

Mikey put his thinking cap on. "No way! This is unfair to my part. You are a ghost."

"Point taken," Leo took out his tanto and cut his arm. "I swore not to interrupt your investigation." The wound lit up.

"Okay, what is that?" Mikey pointed out his wounded arm.

"It's a vow, that you had my word. If I broke the rule, it will hurt me badly and drain my spiritual powers." He said. "So… We have a deal?"

Mikey eyed him. "You're on."

"Raph?" Donnie whispered as he went inside. The elder brother is just lying on his hammock.

"Donnie, not now." He said. But he still sat beside Raph.

"I know you needed company." Donnie said. "I'm not taking sides… You had a reason. Leo had a reason as well."

"Donnie, I'm just saying that Mikey had to know, he is his brother, too."

"I know. But Raph, it's not easy telling someone about his worst memory." Donnie said as he stood up and rubbed Raph's arm.

Raph just remained silent but Donnie's massage is calming him down.

"Raph, Leo and you are brothers. Don't let the family fall apart because of your rivalry. Our family just began recovering from the crash because of the loss of Leo." Raph just continued to enjoy Donnie's massage.

"Alright…" Raph sat up. "… Thanks."

Donnie just nodded. "Raph… There is something I had to ask you."

Raph looked at him, being curious. "What is it?"

"Raph, did you love me?"

Now, Mikey had to think where to start. In the detective shows he watched, one clue is to go to favorable places one goes. He sat on his bed, thinking… Where does Leo always go when he was still alive?

It's obvious, the dojo.

Leo is amused watching the youngest turtle ventured the dojo. Well, he is right, that's the place he usually goes even in the afterlife. Old habits die hard. He made a vow not to disturb the little Mikey, so he'll check somebody else. As he appeared, he passed by Raph's room, maybe it's time to talk to him calmly. He heard another voice, it's his third brother.

"Raph, did you love me?"

Oh, he so got to witness this.

Mikey remembered Master Splinter said Leo owned swords. By the arsenal their family had, there is one seemed to be separated. It's the two katanas. Leo is a dual sword wielder?!

He observed the swords thoroughly. He tiptoed to check the swords. He got to admit, Leo seemed to take care of the swords well. The ornament seemed to be a long blue and orange string tied into one ball. He looked at the dojo, realizing the coast is clear. He reached it as far as he can. He is able to lift the swords but he lost his grasp and only able to hold the scabbard, the katana itself fell. The other unsheathed katana just fell on the ground. He is still cautious that somebody might hear or saw it.

The blade is beautiful. He knew by the looks of it, it's deadly. A note was attached to the sword. This could be a clue!

He picked the tattered paper and see what's written. It's in Japanese.

The smile, shining like the sun

Bringing joy to me

The light to my weary soul

He knows this is a haiku but it's counted in English language. He didn't know why Leo had written this… Or better yet, to whom? Maybe he had loved somebody else before?

It somehow panged something in his heart. He loved Leo, yes. But he died early, he never experienced socializing with someone, there is a chance since they had human friends, like April and Casey. So Leo had loved someone that might've a factor to his death.

The orange banded turtle thought more. He placed the paper to his belt and picked up the swords and must return it before…

"Michelangelo! What are you doing with Leonardo's katanas?!"

Lame haiku is lame I know! Just invented it out of nowhere...

Well, a little teaser: Leo did love somebody else before... The answer is pretty obvious (Note: It's not Mikey) but one interrupted so much he just lets it go.
