This is The Day

Leo always knew there would be a day when his hot-headed brother got into too much trouble to handle. That's why he was so strict whenever Raphael wanted to go out. That's why, at the moment he was having a yelling match with his brother. "Will you just listen to me Raph! You can't go play vigilante every night!"

"Ya ain't the boss of me fearless! I can go out whenever I want!" Raph yelled back.

You could almost see the anger radiating off his body as he stood there, trembling as he tried to hold back the need to hit his lighter skinned brother. Raphael hadn't had the best day today, and Leo's "I'm better than you" act was pissing him off more than it usually would.

"No Raph. I am the boss of you. I'm responsible for whatever happens to you!"

Leo knew as soon as the words came out of his mouth he should have rephrased them. Though it was too late by the look on Raph's face. Leo could feel the heat radiating off his brother from across the lair.

"Raph I-"

"So that's what this is all about?! Yer responsibility?! Ya just don't wanna see Splinta disappointed ya god damned-" Before the red masked turtle could finish he groaned and ran out the door.

Leo stood there, awestruck. Raph had never acted that way before. Leonardo was just noticing his two other brother's looking at him with confused glances about Raph's reaction to what he had said. All Leo could do was sigh and shrug, Raph would be home later tonight. He would aologize then.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Raphael growling, hitting the brick wall infront of him, ignoring the stinging pain that shot through his hand as he did so. He just didn't understand why Leo always had to show off his cool and perfect attitude. All Leo ever did was compare people's fault to his perfectness. It really pissed him off.

His thoughts were cut short when he heard a scream from a nearby alley. Going over to investifate Raphie-boy smiled when he saw the group of Purple Dragons. Just what he needed. A few faces to smash.

"Get her purse!"

"I got her keys!" They all shouted, only giving Raphael more time to sneak behind them without being noticed.

"Oi, ya boys sure picked the wrong night to be messin' with ladies."

The turtle grinned, getting into a fighting stance as one of the PDs (Purple Dragons) grabbed a nearby drain pipe, smirking.

"It's one of dose freaks!"

"Let's get'im!"

The three dragons charged him, throwing punches, swinging weapons, and kicking.

Raph was doing okay at first, the man with the pipe swung at his head, giving the hot-head a chance to tri him, stabbing another in the side with one of his sais. "This was too easy!" Raphael cheered himself with his victory.

Though he spoke too soon. Just as he was about to leave, the red masked ninja felt a sharp burning pain in his leg. That's when he noticed he had been shot, looking behind him there stood a group of PDs. With some new weapons.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Leo stood on a roof, a frown on his face. That's when he heard his brother walk over with a sigh. "Any luck with Casey or April?" he asked softly, looking over the skyline.

Donnie sighed and shook his head again. "They haven't found him. We'll just have to keep looking..."

The purple masked ninja looked at Leo with a frown when his brother didn't answer. "Don't worry Leo. We'll find him..."
