✜ Chapter 6 ✜

Leo jolted in his bed when he heard something crash in the lair. 'Who's up..?' He got up and began to walk out of his room, going to see who it was. "Hey, what's-?" He gasped when he saw Usagi holding his paw, it had been cut by a piece of glass. The rabbit looked and immediately put his head back down. "Oh, hi. Did I wake you up?"

"Oh no, I wasn't really getting sleep anyways." Leo grabbed a rag and was about to help when Usagi backed up. "You don't have to do that! I don't want to be a problem." He said, wincing when he bumped his hand against something.

"It'd be more of a pleasure, actually." Leo replied, taking his hand to the sink to run some water over it. "What happened?" He asked, looking concerned. Yuichi blushed slightly. "I-I dropped a glass accidentally, when I was looking at my reflection in it..."

The turtle snickered while wiping the blood stains off of his wrist. Usagi frowned. "Are you making fun of me?"

Leo smirked and shook his head. "No, of course not! It's just kinda..." He blushed and stopped talking. Usagi tilted his head. "Kinda what?"

'Cute...'

"N-nothing..." He said. He beckoned for him to sit down while he grabbed the hydrogen peroxide. Usagi's nose twitched and he let out a small sneeze. "Jeez, that stuff's strong. What is it?"

Leo shrugged. "Something Donnie uses to disinfect our cuts and stuff." He dipped some of it on a cotton ball and was about to put it on the open wound when Usagi pulled back slightly. "I-is this gonna hurt?" He looked up at Leo with slight fear in his eyes. Leo gave him a confident smile and held his other hand. "It'll sting for a second or two, but that's all! Squeeze my hand if it hurts too bad, okay?"

He smiled shyly and nodded. Leo blushed more and ignored it, turning his attention to the cut. He dabbed the cotton on it gently, hesitating when he heard the rabbit wince in pain. "And done! All we have to do is bandage that up, and you'll be doing handstands in no time!"

Usagi giggled. "Okay." He was wondering what he did to deserve such kindness from one boy, but it made him feel good inside. But he felt bad all over again and looked down at the family symbol on his shirt. 'I shouldn't be here...'

"Hey...Leo?" The turtle turned around at the sound of his name and smiled. "Yeah?"

Yuichi opened his mouth to speak when he was interrupted by a loud banging coming from the tunnels. Leo jumped and stood in front of him. "What is that...?" As if to answer his question, a large monster with several legs and a mask came in with a swift motion, towering over the two. It had eyes on it's back, which was rounded and bulging. "I've finally found you, Miyamoto Usagi..."

Leo grabbed his swords off of his back. "Who is this fugly meat ball?" Usagi grabbed his sword off the wall and stood next to him. "A yokai! I thought those things didn't go out of Neo Edo borders!"

"A yo-who-WHAT?!"
