I listened to my brother's story. But I could tell that wasn't all of it. My brother, caring more about his family other than himself, was hiding something painful. Something was hurting him.

My brother was meditating. "Why must he always meditate?" I had thought. "Don't he want to go outside and play?" Suddenly, I noticed something. A paper slip. I slowly picked it up.

Dear Hamoto Yoshi,

I hate you! You walk in here thinking I would date you? Yuk!

I looked up at my brother. He was fiveteen then.

My brother was meditating. "Hamoto," I said. "What is it Akiyoshi?" "What are you hiding?" Splinter opened his eyes in shock. "I'm not hiding anything." "Yes you are." My brother sighed. "Ornato Saki has my daughter. She belives he is her father. She wants me dead." "Hey, Alyssa wanted me dead when I was 16," I said, sitting down. "That was different. You desevered that." I laughed.

"Why is Alyssa running home crying?" my brother asked. It was two years before his"death". "I , um, dumped her." "What!?" "She's crazy! She clipted my hair, and wore it around her neck!" "Really?" "No. I just want a good enough reason to dump her."

"Hi guys!" "Hey April! I mean, Hey, April. How's it going?" "Hey Ralph." "Hey Casey!" "Ahhhhh!" "Don't tell us you're still scared of rats!" Casey nodded. "And also..." His voice trailed off as he noticed me and Splinter.

"Hey, guys I got to tell us something," I said. "What?" "Ooooo, did the robot food makers take over Hawaii?" I looked at Mickey. "Ralpeal was right. Something is off with you." I sat down. My brother was asleep. So had been everyone else, until of course, I awoken them. "This better be good Uncle Akiyoshi," Ralph said yawning. "Yes. It is. It's about Splinter's undead daughter." Mickey gasped. "So Miwa came back from the dead?! I hope she doesn't have the taste for turtle!" Leo slapped him on the head. "Sorry."
