(Leo's POV)

"We'll be going back there."

As I said those words, the skies turned purple and clouds became dark. The wind began to blew harder and rain poured all over the place.

"This is it, bro. The wormhole will appear on the next minute." Donnie said.

"You planned all of this?"

"Anything for you, Leo." Donnie replied with a smile.

Splinter and my other brothers came too. "We will miss you, bro." Mikey said.

"My son, Donatello told us everything. May you live happily with the Greatest daimyo at all time." Splinter said with tears formed in his eyes.

Raph formed a sad look on his face, "Be careful. Introduce us to your guuuurlfrienddddd!"

I nod as a lightning had struck on the place and a dark spiral wormhole appeared. I ran into it and everything turned dark.

I opened my eyes and I found myself lying on a green grass. My fingers were five again and I'm back with my human form. I looked at the vast blue sky and I saw some trees that has sakura flowers and leaves. I am back.

"Phew. You're awake." a voice said, startling me.

"Donnie!" 

"I can't just let my brother go all by himself, you know." he said, standing up.

I looked around and asked, "Where are we now?"

Donnie replied, "We are at the outside territory near Kazenami Temple. In just a few kilometers away, we'll be there in no time."

I smiled at his words, "Let's go and find (Y/N)". But before I even take a step, Donnie told me to stop and we hid in the bushes. There were guards approaching ahead.

"Lord Ryosuke has given us orders." one of the guards spoke.

Wait. Did they just said 'Lord Ryosuke'? Is he the new daimyo in this time? What happened to (Y/N)? 

A flashback of (Y/N) committed suicide before I left, appeared again in my mind. I tried to save her by trying to take her with me to the present to treat her wounds. If (Y/N) is not the daimyo anymore, then... could it be?

"He said that we must search Lord Leonardo as soon as possible. It doesn't matter if he's dead or alive as long as we'll find him." the guard added.

"What about Lady (Y/N)?" another soldier asked.

"The vassals can't release a statement whether Lady (Y/N) is in comma or dead. They will only reveal her situation to the public once we find Lord Leonardo. After the war against the Genji, the temple gates, doors and windows were closed. Only the officials were in there."

"I'm worried." the soldier commented.

"(Y/N)..." I whispered, worrying about my wife's condition.

"What will they do if we found Lord Leonardo alive?" 

The guard let out a sigh, "I suppose they will throw him in to prison, maybe."

"What?!" Donnie and I said with a whisper so they couldn't hear us.

"What if we don't find him at all?" 

"I'm afraid Lord Leonardo will no longer see Lady (Y/N) again. The Kazenami empire will change forever." the guard replied as the two of them made their way back to the province.

Donnie and I went out in our hiding spot and we both let out a sigh in relief.

"Great. How are we supposed to get to the temple without being noticed since they were after you." Donnie asked.

"We're ninjas, Donnie. Cover-ups and sneak-ins is our specialty." I replied.

Donnie gave himself a face-palm. "Leo, we all know how tight their security was. Remember? Even ninjas couldn't sneak in to the walls of the temple!"

Oh, he's right. My mind got ran out of ideas so I just let out a groan and lay on the grass. Suddenly, a light bulb lit on top of Donnie's head. He let out a proud "A-HA" and told me to stand up.

"Any ideas?" I asked.

"Leo, I have one appropriate person I know who can help us."

(A few hours later walking in the woods)

"Uh... Donnie...? W-where are we?"

Donnie and I just made it into a small cottage in the woods. I wonder who's that person. Donnie knocked on the door and a few moments later, the door was opened by... Mitsu?!

"Oh blazing copper kettles! Tello, Lord Leonardo!" Mitsu greeted us with a hug. "I'm so worried sick about you, guys! Where have you been?"

"It's a long story, Mitsu-san." Donnie said. Well, they're close friends, both nerds.

Mitsu has his own secret library deep into the woods not that far away from Kazenami. He let us in and made us tea.

"Lady (Y/N)..." Mitsu began to speak. "She's in a critical,  near-death condition. Twenty skillful doctors attended to her everyday. Her vital signs were weak and it has less chances of survival. Her wounds were really deadly. But one night when I was assigned to watch her, I heard her whispering your name repeatedly."

"She still..." I breathed out, couldn't say any single word.

"So Ryosuke-san ordered every soldier and every ninja in the land to look for you, Lord Leonardo. But if they couldn't find you until 47 hours, we left no choice but to stop Lady (Y/N)'s treatments and declare her death to everyone." Mitsu said.

"What? But-but she's alive, right?" I asked.

"Half-alive, I'm afraid, my lord." Mitsu corrected me. "I can help you guys to get in there. We can make it there in time. The 47-hour hasn't—"

Suddenly, the sound of horns were heard from afar. We immediately went outside and we saw a smoke signal from the temple.

"W-wait! That's not right. The 47-hour time limit has not yet ran out." Mitsu complained then his face made a huge realization and fall on to his knees.

"Mitsu! What's wrong?" Donnie asked.

I helped the vassal to stand up, "What's going on?"

Mitsu took a deep breath, "If the horns were blown and the smoke signal was released earlier than the Ryosuke's time limit, this means, Lady (Y/N)... she's gone."

I stood there in shock, his words couldn't sink in to my mind and it broke my heart into pieces.

"No. It can't be. I wanted to see her! Please!" I begged Mitsu. I wanted to make sure and make things clear. I wanted to see (Y/N). No, I need to. Even it means sending me to prison. I'll do anything just to see my wife once again.

"I get your horses. Let's go back to Kazenami at once." Mitsu said as the three of us raced back to the temple.

Rather than taking the front gates, the three of us made our way inside the temple through the back gates.

With Mitsu's help, we successfully entered the temple with no such hassle.

We ran to the corridors in a hurry. Luckily there were no guards in the place.

"Lady (Y/N)'s room is in the third floor." Mitsu gave us the directions, "Hurry before they take her body away!"
