Raph slides down the latter into the sewers,landing and walking towards his home. He walked past the lab,past the faded graffiti on the walls,past the old and worn training room,the kitchen,and his room, making it towards the living room.

Splinter sat there,watching some soap opera. Raph walked in,stepping on a piece of paper,it crinkled loudly,alerting his dad of his existence.

" WHO'S THERE- oh,hey Red," Splinter yelled,Raph flinched, running towards the chair a second later.

" Hey,Dad!" Raph greeted,leaning against the back of the recliner," I just have a few questions,then I'll get out of your fur."

" What is it,Red?" Splinter asked.

" Do I have brothers?"

Splinter didn't respond,so Raph figured he should elaborate," I met this other turtle mutant today,he had a blue mask and his name was Leonardo," Raph explained,gesturing with his hands.

" He's alive?" Splinter muttered,pausing his tv.

" Well,unless I was seeing a ghost,yes."

" You remember them?"

" No,not really," Raph said," am I supposed too?"

" You are the oldest of your siblings, you all used to be so close," Splinter got out of his chair,walking towards a shelf,the do-not-touch shelf.

" So why don't I remember them?" Raph asked.

" Maybe your brain is blocking out what happened because of what happened," Splinter said,grabbing a thick but small book from the shelf.

" What happened?" Raph questioned.

" Well,I don't exactly know,but something happened where all four of you got kidnapped,and you were returned two months later,but Leonardo,and your other brothers, weren't," Splinter handed him the book,it was a colored a bright teal. Raph held it for a second,opening it.

Oh.

Several photos of turtle children were taken,the dates being noted next to them. The tallest one looked like him,spiky and had a red bandana draped around his neck.

" I assumed that all of your brothers were dead,but it seems at least one of them lived,did he say about his whereabouts the past few years?"

" Uhhhh,I think he said he has been living with this goat guy, he's been calling this guy his dad," Raph explained,still flipping through the album.

' Draxum?!" Splinter gasped,horrified and angry," I can't believe that yokai-"

" What are yokai?" Raph interrupted, he'd been hearing this word all day,yet he doesn't know what it means.

" They are like mutants,except they were born like this," Splinter paused to explain.

" Oh,wait we weren't born like this?" Raph questioned.

" Anyways,it seems that Draxum has manipulated Leo into thinking that he's his actual dad,which isn't entirely wrong," Splinter brushed off Raph,whispering the last part so he couldn't hear.

Raph ignored the fact that Splinter brushed him off.

" So,what should I do?" Raph asked.

" I think you should talk to Leo,but it's fine if you can't," Splinter said," I think he has his own life now,he should do what makes him happy."

" That makes sense," Raph muttered.

" Alright, alright,now get out of my room,I need to finish my show!" Splinter pushed him out of the room,he could barely do it though so most of it was Raph walking away.

" Okay! Thanks Sensei!" Raph said, going to his own room. He threw himself on his bed,opening the photo album. Maybe this'll wrack his brain.

Raph scaled a roof. It was an alright day for the middle of fall. The sun was shining,making it warm,but the breeze kept it cool. The wind was strong enough to make Raph's mask tails keep getting in front of his eyes,having to move them away so he could see clearly.

He was looking for Leo,but he'd been out for a few hours by then. He couldn't find a sign of him,a part of him felt grateful for that.

Raph didn't get much from the photo album,besides learning the kid in purple and Leo are twins, their birthdays,and what Splinter used to look like. They also used too skateboard,it seems that Raph had taught them how too,according to the pictures titled that implied it.

Raph hasn't done skateboarding in years,since he was twelve . He remembers falling over a lot,and Splinter being very sad about other things,so Raph had too take care of himself when he was injured. Searching for the med kit,and trying too make sure it didn't run out too quickly,as he was a clumsy kid,and it took forever for Splinter to notice.

He paused on a roof,he could hear something.

" GET AWAY!"

There it is. He ran towards the area,throwing himself into the alleyway where it was coming from. He just barely dodged a glowing blue sword that almost hit his face,pinning his mask tails to the wall.

A human ran past what looked like a mutant,it looked up at him. Wait a second--

" You idiot!" Raph hissed.

" Who are yo- OH SHIT-" Leo yelled," hey Raph! Hah, almost impaled your face there!"

" Don't get any ideas," Raph yelled at his brother,who pulled the ōdachi out of the wall, unpinning Raph's bandana.

" Sorry,I didn't see you!"

" Are you blind!?"

" Dang,rude."

" Sorry," Raph muttered.

" Eh, it's fine,but you scared away the human,I need to get information," Leo said.

" What information?"

" Where's the nearest fast food place," Leo smiled like he was joking.

" Are you joking?" Raph asked. With all that noise it sounded like he was going to kidnap that human or something.

" Nah, actually I need to buy stuff for dinner tonight, I'm trying to get dad to try it," Leo put his ōdachi back into the holster on his back.

Raph just realized how short Leo is compared to him,he was probably around two feet shorter. Well,makes sense if he's the oldest,sometimes. April is shorter than him,yet she's older than him. So technically she's the oldest sibling. He considers her family.

" Whatcha doin here?" Leo questioned,leaning on his one of his ōdachis.

" Wanna come over to my place? You can meet the rat man," Raph asked.

" Yes! That'd be great!" Leo smiled,seeming stoked," which way?"

" Down," Raph instructed, already opening the sewer drain.

" Oh,okay!" Leo said,face screwing up in disgust.

They made it into the sewer,Raph and Leo walked towards the living room.

" Did you make this?"

" Huh?" Raph turned around,seeing Leo point at the fading graffiti on the wall.

" Did ya make this?" Leo asked again.

" I don't know who made it, it's just always been there, it's stained," Raph answered, trying to brush it off," c'mon, let's go."

" Wait- waittt-"

" What?!" Raph growled,stopping in his tracks.

" Did Mikey make this?" Leo smiled.

" I don't know,can't remember."

" Oh yeah,you forgot about us," Leo sighed angirly. Whatever.

" Come on!" Raph hissed,Leo followed,hesitantly. They walked into the living room.

" Hey,Dad! I have a surprise!" Raph smiled. He heard Leo behind him choke from the sudden happy attitude.

" What is it- Blue?!" Splinter looked back,spotting Leo.

" Heyyy,Rat man!" Leo greeted, Splinter ran over to him. They stared at each other for a second,a awkward moment until the silence was broken.

" You're a lot taller than the last time I saw you," Splinter joked.

" Uh,yeah," Leo said,Raph noted how awkward Leo sounded. Shit,he forgot that Leo thinks that their dad kidnapped him and his siblings years ago.

" May I-?" Splinter opened his arms hesitantly, seemingly for a hug.

Leo nodded, Splinter hugged him, Leo returned the hug,but was clearly a little upset. Raph separated them.

Leo slightly smiled,the rat and turtle staring at one another.

" Have you been happy? Are you doing alr-"

" Shush,we can talk later!" Leo smiled,Now that I know where you are-",pulled his sleeve up to reveal and blue gem coming out of a bracelet around his wrist," I guess I should return the favor."

He broke the gem,Raph stared at him in confusion.

" Draxum knows our location, it'll be a small family reunion!" Leo grinned widely, in bliss,Splinter looked terrified. He couldn't be that bad, he's just an goat. But then again,he did manipulate Leo and kidnapped his other brothers,so he should run.

" Dad,come on!" Raph grabbed Splinter's hand,they ran into the nearest tunnel. Raph has been here his entire life that he can remember,so he probably knows them better than Leo,maybe even Splinter.

" Hey,where are you guys going?" Leo ran after them.

Raph continued running,coming to a ladder out of the sewer. He climbed onto it,Splinter following.

He reached the top,putting out his hands too open the lid,but it was already open.

A sheep yokai's face was a few feet away,Raph yelped,his hands slipped. SHIT-

Splinter narrowly dodged out of the way of him,Leo yelled something. Raph was caught in someone's arms, supposedly Leo. Raph felt his head hit the concrete,wincing in pain.

Leo was yelling something,but Raph couldn't hear it over the sound of his own heartbeat. They are so loud and annoying. Raph's vision started getting darker,the people around him turning into dark silhouettes.

" Ra......you can rest," Leo said. But Raph doesn't need it,even if his grip on consciousness was definitely getting looser,and black was starting to shroud his vision.

" Just sleep, i'll get you somewhere safe."

Raph heard that clearly. He couldn't really fight too stay awake anymore,it was getting too hard. Raph closed his eyes, allowing him to drift into a heavy sleep he wasn't sure he would wake up from.

Notes:

Sorry about the ending,I couldn't really figure out how to write it correctly.

But thank you for reading! Sorry it's been so long since the last chapter,but I decided that for now on I'll post a chapter every two weeks. Sometimes I may post one once a week,but it depends.

Anyways,have an amazing day and make sure to drink water!
