Chapter 1: Klunk's Missing!

Authors Note: This story is so flippin' cute! Mikey/Klunk centric. ^_^

"Here kitty, kitty, klunky…where arrrrre youuuu?" Mikey called out to his cat.

"Klunk?" He looked under his bed.

"Klunk?" He looked in his closet.

"Klunk?" He looked under piles of comics, action figures, and blankets from his bed, strewn on the floor.

"Huh," he said, standing up as he pondered with one hand placed on his chin in thinking mode. "He's gotta be here somewhere…"

Leaving his room, he proceeded to check the kitchen and living room with no such luck, then headed towards his brothers' rooms, all the while calling Klunk's name.

"Alright…guess I'll go with Leo's room first since he's not here."

Opening the door to his studious brother's room his first words to come out of his mouth were, "neat freak." Everything, which wasn't a whole lot, from candles, books on Ninjutsu, his sword sharpening tools, and a few, old, wooden swords, was perfectly clean and tidy. The exact opposite of Michelangelo's. One more thing added to Leo's room. The strong scent of incense.

"Ew! Why's he always gotta have that stuff around!" Mikey plugged his nose.

"Gotta get oughta here quick! Man, if Raph ever found out how much this stuff got to me, I'd never be able to pull off a prank in his room again! Sure he knows I don't like it but neither does he. Still, I like it a whole lot less than him. He'd suffer through it just to keep me out of his room. Can't let that happen…"

After a quick look around the room Mikey poked his head out as his eyes darted back and forth.

"No sign of the others. Good," he whispered.

Tiptoeing across the floor, he went into Raph's room next door.

"I am soooo-frickin'-scared right now…" He mumbled, chattering his teeth."Raph would totally get my shell for even being in here! Sure, I do it all the time for pranks, but he would always be gone. Now he's just in the other room!" Mikey quickly glanced at the door, then began to call his cat quietly, "Klunk?...Klunk?" He whispered.

No reply.

"Klunk? Come here boy," Mikey's voiced started coming out a bit uneasily as he searched the room filled with fighting and workout magazines, fighting DVD's, weights, and CD's, lying all over his hammock and the floor. He tentatively searched through Raph's things, looking over his shoulder every few seconds toward the door.

"Klunk?...Come on Klunk…you're really starting to worry me…wait a minute! Why didn't I think of that before!"

Rushing toward the door he stopped abruptly at the entrance, bent down on his hands and knees and looked both ways. No one ever looks down at someone peaking out a door. Then again I do live with ninjas and we don't do anything the normal way.

Seeing no one about, he dashed out toward the bathroom, shutting the door just as he heard the garage door open next door as Don and Raph came out.

"Phew! That was close! Now…"

Making his way over the the litter box he hopefully looked in, only to find it empty. Glancing around he looked behind the shower curtain, the toilet, under the sink, and in the cabinets, only to find Klunk nowhere to be found, yet again.

"Kluuuunk…don't make daddy worry like this. It's not nice," Mikey looked around once more to make sure he didn't miss anything, then sighed in defeat.

"Hmmm…well since no one's in the garage... I guess I can look there for now."

Opening the door a crack he peeked out.

"No one in sight. Ha! The Mikester does it again-wait. I guess I could just go the garage and no one would suspect anything. Oh wait, yes they would. Raph's Shell Cycle and the Battle Shell. Two things Raph and Don never want me around. Hahaha…"

Making his way toward the garage he went in. After looking for over 20 minutes and calling out his cat's name, he found no such luck and with slumped shoulders exited the garage as he closed the door.

"Guess Don's next," he spoke glumly.

Heading over toward Don's room he noticed Raph and Don watching TV and talking by the couch.

"Good, they'll be preoccupied for awhile," Mikey whispered as he made his way over to his last brother's room.

Upon entering Donatello's room he was met with just as much junk as in his own room. Though completely opposite type of junk, junk nonetheless, with science books, a poster of Einstein, small models of inventions, graphing paper with various designs and formulas, bags with sewer maps in them for their adventures, etc. But no Klunk.

"Ohhh mannn…." Mikey sighed, and was about to leave the room when he heard an "Ahem," inches behind him.

GULP.

…

"Ohhhh…hi Master Splinter," he gave a broad smile. "Look, I can explain this."

"There is no need to my son…" Master Splinter spoke calmly.

"Um…you…do…? Are you sure?" Mikey asked confused.

Master Splinter chuckled. "Yes indeed Michelangelo. I have heard you calling your cat's name for the past 45 minutes."

"Oh…that loud huh?"

"No. I have sensitive ears."

"Oh right, haha. Well…I guess I'll be going then."

"My son, before you go, I have a thought. I was deep in meditation in my room, and though normally I can hear every sound around me, your cat has ninja skills natural to its species, even I cannot detect at times."

"Are you saying Klunk may have sneaked past you?" Mikey asked excitedly.

"It is a possibility. You may check."

"Thank you Sensei!" Mikey bowed quickly as he ran off toward the room.

Upon entering Master Splinter's room he was met that strong smell of incense again.

"Oh great…" he plugged his nose. "I haven't been here in awhile…I forgot how bad it smells…Oops!" Quickly turning around he noticed Master Splinter was not by the door.

"Thank goodness! I totally didn't even notice if he followed me in here! Now then! Klunk?" He called out as he walked past his Sensei's meditation rug, candles, books, a tea set, and the paper and ink he uses for his paintings and calligraphy. But after searching high and low for 5 minutes Klunk was nowhere to be found.

Gloomier than ever that day he dragged himself out of the room as Master Splinter stood nearby.

"No luck my son?"

"No Sensei…" Mikey mumbled.

"He will appear soon my son. Have faith."

"Yes Sensei," he tried to smile, making his way towards nowhere in particular.

As he walked, Leo walked by him and gave him a questioningly glance, but before he could ask anything Master Splinter called him over.

As the two talked Mikey kept on walking…and thinking...

I will find Klunk!
