Turtles Forever

Monster Hunter

Someone's footsteps thudded in the kitchen towards the scared redhead who was holding a mop "No! Noooo!" April screamed out fearfully

"Casey Jones! I just mopped the floor!" She yells as she swung the mop at him which he dodges

"Out! You big careless jerk!" She exclaimed hitting him with the mop. He grabs it.

"You can't kick me outta here girlzilla. This is my grandma's house and so pronto, it's my house." Casey argued

"Casey Arnold Jones..." April warned

From another room Yuuki answered "Can you guys keep it down I'm trying to make a phone call?"

"Ahh, I'll be outside if anyone needs me." Casey shouted running out the door. Splinter chuckles from a few feet away as he meditated.

"Yeah right, I needed a Neanderthal to give me a yell..." April muttered as she walked in to the kitchen. Raph walked down the stairs "Hey where is everybody?" He asked

"Casey's been ejected from the ball park and April's in the kitchen. I think Mikey's out exploring the woods." Donnie explained as he tinkered with the toaster.

"Despite explicit instructions to stay near the house." Splinter imputed as he continued to meditate

"And Leo?" Raph asked

The whole room went silent, Yuuki peeked at Raph as she thumbed the buttons on her shell cell then looked at Donnie "He's...He's kind of been moping around out in the barn all morning." Donnie explained

"Again?" Raph asked

"Your brother has suffered injuries both physical and spiritual, Raphael. And he would need the support of all of us if his wounds are to fully heal." Splinter replied

Yuuki fiddled the buttons on her shell cell trying to call again. But she just got a busy ring tone signal. She furrowed her browns as she frowned and let a sigh. Splinter perked his ears up "Is there something wrong, Miss Yuuki?" "My parents aren't answering." "Maybe they're busy." Donnie answered She shook her head trying to shake off the uneasy feeling "I guess so. but it doesn't sound like them." She sat up and walked towards the door "I'm going to go check on Leo."

April huffed as she walked in and took a seat on the couch. She growled "What is it about Casey that gets under my skin? He's so -so UGH! Master Splinter maybe you can teach me to meditate so I wouldn't get so angry at him." She explained

Splinter his eyes "Even mediation has it's limits." then closed them.

Outside, Casey washed off the snow and much off of his shoes with a hose "Women, who needs 'em?" He muttered as Yuuki walked down the stairs heading towards the barn. They both heard loud chewing and crunching sounds and looked to see Mikey holding a bag eating some nuts. He held up a couple out to them "Nut?"

"You're the nut. " Casey said as he took one. Yuuki shook head head "No thanks. I'm not a fan of nuts." She declined

"Hey where have you've been all day? " Casey questioned as he took another

"Just wandering the woods." Mikey answered. "Yeah? Well, I've got news for you, nature boy. Crazy Man Hatchet next door, he likes wandering those woods too. " Casey retorted. "Tell me about it. He sicked his pit bull on me this morning." Mikey answered. Yuuki eyes widen in alarm "What?!" She yelled out. "What?! He saw you?! " "For crying out loud Mikey. Even I know that we're supposed to keep a low profile up here!" Casey tells him, clutching his head.
