Happy Halloween Everyone!

Here's your treat a new chapter!

Hope your having fun scaring the neighbors!

I haven't updated for a while, stuff happens as life goes on. I finally updated, and thanks to all the readers that have been fallowing this, I hope you are still around. I answered your comments below. But from then on I'm going to try to comment every one individually, it's just easier to do it this way because I can do it all at once. It's easy when I need to save time but i want to make sure it gets to all of you so i'll try harder. :) On with the story now!

Monday.

It was by far the longest weekend they could remember. They had promised Splinter to keep claim and not overreact. But their brother was missing and Casey still hasn't woken up, and all they could do is wait.

It was 4:30 am and Raphael had given up trying to sleep. He could see his brother Leonardo in the darkness sleeping peacefully.

How can sleep as easily as that? He thought.

He walked to the bathroom removed his clothes and stepped into the shower. The fresh water hit his skin. At least, he thought, it helps him relax a little. He finished and walked to his room to change into his clothes.

The ceiling glowed white by the sun's rays. The sun was now slowly revealing more of the room. Raphael saw that his brother was still sleeping, but there was sweat on his forehead and his skin had a tint of red in it. He was ill.

Raphael grabbed his backpack as quietly as he could and walked down stairs to the kitchen. To his surprise the light was on and Michelangelo and Splinter were sitting down drinking a warm cup of tea. Michelangelo was wearing shorts and a loose muscle-shirt, he hadn't changed since he went to bed.

" Take it you couldn't sleep either?" Raphael said.

He grabbed a cup from a cupboard and poured himself tea from the teapot setting on the table between his father and brother.

"Not for a second, it's the first time I've been up before you and Leo on a school night." Michelangelo said.

"Yeah will I think Leo's sick or somethin', he didn't look too good when I saw him."

" I will see that he is alright. He will likely sleep through the day if he is not feeling well." Splinter said.

Raphael noticed a sheet of lined paper underneath Michelangelo's hand. He noticed one of the symbols sketched on the paper.

"Is that..?"

"Yeah, I'm trying to remember what the symbols the ninjas were wearing on their shoulder."

Michelangelo handed the paper to his brother. Raphael also noticed the ninja's leader; her helmet was drawn in the center.

"Yeah, dat looks right, but I think the symbol only had three spikes not four. But not too sure. Didn' t really notice it." Raphael said.

" It kinda looked like a foot or claw." Michelangelo said.

" Da girl also had three spikes on her helmet, not five. "

"Oh yeah, and the symbol on her chest I think."

" It don't really matter much, we couldn't see their faces."

"What if they saw ours?"

"I was wearin' the mask Casey gave me, hopefully it was too dark to see any of us."

He saw something in his father's eyes change. There was a slight shift in his mood. Michelangelo didn't notice it but Raphael knew he should be careful with his words.

" Well, I don't think those dudes saw us, else they'd be after us. I guess if they did see us it wasn't enough to put a positive ID on us."

"Yeah but what about Angel? The Purple Dragons knew her; she's going to need protection."

" But how can we-" Michelangelo was stopped midsentence by his father.

"Michelangelo, thank you for showing me these drawings but would you go upstairs and get ready for school. I want to talk to Raphael for a moment."

Michelangelo wondered if his brother was in trouble, or if Splinter was interrogating them individually like when they were younger and stole some pricey, but delicious, candy from a local bakery. As he walked up stairs he let his mind drift remembering when they were younger. The four brothers always walked past a small candy shop, it had specialty foods that they couldn't afford. So one day taken by temptation, they took their chance walked in and out, pockets filled with treats. They made a plan that if they got caught they would each say they got the treats as a prize at school. But splinter was not buying it and asked them when they were alone what happened.

"Oh Michelangelo, the best son anyone could ask for, do you know how you and your brothers got the candy?"

Their one story turned into three and Splinter knew they had lied. He made them confess and as punishment for their crimes they were banned from all sweets for a month and had to work to pay the store owner three times the candy they stole. Which meant cleaning every square inch of the shop for a month. Michelangelo was five years old at the time, but he remembered how strict and frightening Splinter was when he found out there crime. For a five year old a month without sweets was like an eternity, even worse when they were surrounded by them.

Still they had each told him honestly what had happened this time around. He and Donatello were following Leonardo, who (though they didn't really know all the details at the time) was on a rescue mission for Raphael. He thought of Donatello, Splinter had a right to know everything that happened- even if he wouldn't be happy to hear about them fighting in the streets late at night.

He entered his own room. There were two twin beds. His brother's bed was near the window and the sun light draped over the sheets.

Maybe that's why he's always so cheerful in the mornings, the sun always greets him…

He gazed in silence at the empty bed. Slowly his tired body kneeled down next to it. His head rested on the side of his brother's bed. He closed his eyes and slept.

Meanwhile downstairs Splinter talked to Raphael.

" Raphael, I know that Casey is known for getting into trouble and fights, but I didn't know it involved street gangs. How long have you and Jones been fighting in the middle of the night without my knowledge?"

Splinter's tone was surprising claim. Raphael didn't know how to respond. He was angry at Leonardo for letting it slip. Though a claim reaction was not what he expected. He thought about Donatello.

If only they didn't follow Leo, none of this would be happening.

What the hell am I going to say? Oh yeah dad we've been playin' super hero for the past year and I've been in fightin' with armed guys usin' the same moves you taught me for self defense.

" Were your brothers apart of this?"

"No," he finally said something.

"So how did they follow you?"

" I –I-I asked Leo for help okay, Casey was trying to Angel away from some Purple Dragons, so I helped him out- yeah I know it's stupid but I don't know what to do about it! Donatello's gone now and I don't know what to do!"

" Raphael, listen to me, I just wanted to know what happened and how it happened. I had no idea you and Casey were really out there doing this." he said.

"I know but, but, if… if I didn't go with Casey, if I just ignored him then Donny would be okay…"

" I would have never wanted you to be fighting on the streets like this. I know you and Casey are foolhardy. Still you are not the type to sit quietly when a friend needs help… now you know to be careful and not to go rushing into a fight."

"But Don… what about Don? And Casey he still hasn't woken up. We have to do somethin' but I just feel stuck!"

" We will do something, it will take time, and it pains me to say it. I want him home safely was quickly as you do. But we can't rush into this blindly. Raphael I hope you can understand this."

Raphael was quiet; he looked down at his fists. They were clenched so tightly that they turned numb.

"I'm sorry Don." He whispered.

Splinter was silent. He didn't want to say it but he felt stuck as well. What could he really do? There were more questions than answers. But he knew that his sons needed him now more than ever. He had to find a way no matter what to set things right.

Splinter stood up beside Raphael who was still faced down. He put his hands on his son's shoulders knowing that it was all he could do to comfort him.

Raphael began to shake. He felt anger. Anger at himself for what happened to Casey. Anger at himself for what happened to Donatello. Anger for not being able to help his brother. Anger for failing Casey. But what could be done?

He stood up, turned around and did something he hadn't down since childhood, he cried in his father's arms.

My shortest chapter yet i think...

Hope that wasn't out of character, but I thought it was necessary given the situation...

Yeah I haven't been here in a while but I'm determined to finish this story, even if it takes a while.

I don't think Raph could get to Leo that easily, so there must be something else wrong with him.

I like how they all listened to Splinter for once in their life.

Update when you can please.

Thanks, I was thinking that they needed someone to claim them down after what happened to Don, also they know better than to mess with Splinter when he's angry.

Looks like Don is in for some pain... Which isn't a good thing,(for him) but it does add to the plot.

Yes poor Don, but he's a tough and clever guy :) this chapter doesn't get to him yet though.

O_o Ouch, that gotta hurt. And want could Saki want with four 'normal' boys?

Eve

Glad you liked my action sequence, they are the most fun, yet difficult, to write! Lots of action and fun!

Saki is interested in the boys because he has an alliance with the Purple Dragons. Since Casey has been fighting with them he assigned Kari to capture him.

Her father assigned her as leader of a division of the Foot Clan in New York as a test of her skills as leader. Her mission is to aid the Purple Dragons. Which I'll go into more details in another chapter hope that makes sense. If the story gets confusing please tell me because it will help my writing skills Thanks again for your comments!

Great chapter poor Donnie though I really like your writting style

Yup poor Don, there's always a trend with him getting captured. He's like the April of the 80's series X)

Thanks! I really appreciate that comment it makes my day. Though it can be tough to catch all the spelling and grammar mistakes because I write it on my own, I really try my best so hearing that is great!
