"Where have you been all night?" Leo questioned with both arms crossed and legs shoulder-width apart.
"Why does it matter to you, Splinter Junior?" "What are you going to do, lecture me all night?" Raph growled.
"I'm just looking out for our family Raph, and last time I checked that included you."
"Yeah, looking out." Raph couldn't help but let out a laugh and smirk. Since when have you been risking your neck for this family?"
Leo looked profoundly puzzled.
"Oh don't act like you're all high and mighty jungle boy, don't act so confused; like you never walked out on us."
"What are you talking about!?!" Leo was now becoming irate. He threw his arms in the air. "I'm trying to be the best leader for our group; I left to complete that task, and now I'm back." "Why do you always have to compete with me over leadership?"
"You know what Leo, you're right."
Leo's mouth opened a little and his eyes widened.
"I'm not going to make this a competition anymore because I'm leaving." "I'm doing exactly what you did to me...you abandoned me and now that you're back you expect 100% loyalty; but you know what big brother; I don't work that way." "I'm outta here, and don't try to follow me or send Donnie and Mikey after me."
Raph turned around and was beginning to walk out.
"Wait, Raph."
Raph stopped.
Leo pleaded, stretching his arm out; "You don't mean that bro."
"I don't need you anymore," he said lowly, and kept walking.
Leo didn't try to follow him; he just stood there blankly until he decided to get some rest and try to talk to Raph in the morning.
