Kaneko snuffled as she breathed noisily through her nose. "Do you want a tissue?" You ask her sheathing your sword from doing katas. She shakes her head and wipes with her sleeve. "Looks like a snail was on your sleeves. Cmon." You take her out of the dojo and to the kitchen, getting her a tissue so she can blow her nose. "Let's see if Donnie has any allergy relief." She sneezed in response.

When you got there Donnie heard the loud snuffling from Kaneko. "Allergies?" He asks, he's experimenting on mutagen again. He's been spending all-nighters a lot, maybe because of what happens to Timothy. He had the frozen jar near his table, a reminder, a motivator to find a cure. "Yeah, sorry to bother you D. She's been sniffling nonstop since last night."

He pulls out a small flash flight and scans her gold eyes then her mouth. "Has she been eating three meals a day and has a regular sleeping schedule?"

"Yes." You affirmed. Kaneko nodded with you.

"Alright then. So her eyes are watery and her throat looks inflamed. I have some medicine for it. Although I'm not sure what's causing it. Could be dust pores or fungus spores or just the seasonal changes."

"I'll look into it." You took a note of cleaning your room today. Donnie gives her the medicine and she drinks it.

"Yuck tastes like grape." She gags on the first sip.

"You'll feel better, it's good for you." she shakes her head stubbornly. You sighed. "Donnie give me a cup too." He hands one to you and you drink it like a shot glass. "Ok, now you do it." She says nothing and does it. "Good now I'm going to make some food so we can get this horrible taste out of my mouth." You leave to the kitchen again.

"......Wanna help me on making the cure?" Donnie asks as he's now in charge of watching the girl.

She politely says no and instead takes the same flashlight Donnie was using on her. She opens his mouth forcefully pretending to give him a check-up.

"How's it looking, Dr.Kaneko?" he asks when she lets go, shutting off the flashlight.

"You need a break." She says patting his face. "Dark Eyes." then she draws closer to him. "Heartbeat, tired."

"Hmm guess your right Doc."

"And you're missing a tooth," she says flatly.

He basically fell off his chair when she said that. "I can't tell if that's all your own personality or you get it from sharing (y/n)'s blood" he states rubbing his head from falling. Donnie gets pulled from his work and is taken to the living room to watch Tv. Kaneko heads where Raph and Mikey have settled down. Meanwhile, in the kitchen, you were making something to drink to rid yourself of the medicine taste. You notice Leo wasn't with his brothers watching the anime they usually do. You guess he's probably in the dojo. You decide to check on him with a drink in hand to offer to him.

While Leonardo was trying to meditate for the past hour he couldn't seem to focus as his father did. They were both glowing but Leo's light would flicker off as he got out of trance again. He tried again only to have the same end result, not being able to find peace.

"Leonardo?"

"Leonardo?"
