Chapter Text
The moment he woke up, there was a feeling of something wet and cold liquid gushing down his thigh rapidly, something like blood. He couldn’t remember how he got hurt, all he could remember was passing out. He must’ve gotten hurt during a fight, he didn’t know who could’ve done this much damage to him though.
He felt weird. As if he was flying but getting weighted down at a limit. It was also as if he were underwater, his hearing and eyesight was fuzzy. All he could see was a blur of white fur… Why is there white fur? He didn’t know anyone that had fur!
“Oh good, you’re alive still!” someone thankfully sighed. They were holding him… and they were running? From what though? “I was starting to think that you died on me back there. I’ll explain the details later when you’re all fixed up, but now I should probably focus on getting to where it's safe.”
The slider turtle placed a hand onto his pounding head, his head and body were aching. Obviously, his leg was throbbing, way more than how much the rest of his body felt. He felt as if he got thrown against the wall 20 times, then tried to stand up afterwards.
“We’re almost to my house, I can bandage you up there. I just need you to stay awake for me a little longer, okay?” They said, waiting for his response. The furred person that held Leo, looked like a white rabbit, with long furry ears being held with a blue tie. Funny how that’s Leo’s favorite color.
“...Okay.” He quietly mumbled, thankfully, somehow the rabbit heard him. They must have good hearing, given that they’re a rabbit.
The rabbit slowly picked up their pace and began to run faster than before… somehow. Thankfully, since they were a rabbit, the two of them were practically flying through the rooftops. Leo was pretty heavy, since he was a turtle and has a giant shell on his back. The fact that the rabbit was able to run and jump as high to get to another rooftop while carrying him, was surprising to say the least.
A wave of dizziness caved over him, and as much as Leo tried his best to stay awake and not pass out, that was difficult when you’re currently bleeding out and have been for whoever knows how long, while also moving a lot.
Dizziness slowly took over and everything felt even more fuzzy. And as Leo’s eyelids slowly closed shut, he could faintly hear the rabbit shouting for him to stay awake, but he just couldn’t keep his eyes open anymore.
🐢・.*.・🐇
The second time Leo woke up, the feeling of blood running down his leg wasn't there anymore, his leg just mostly feels uncomfortable now. Overall, he definitely had a nasty cut on his leg that most likely will scar.
He does feel more warmer than before, and he wasn't being held anymore as well. There was also cushioning underneath him, so he must be at the rabbit's house!
The first thing he sees when he opened his eyes is a ceiling, the corners covered with vines (are they fake or real? Leo had no clue), with a warming light in the corner of the room along with the sunlight coming from the window. There's a katana on a pedestal, so he must be a fighter like Leo, at least there was another thing that they had in common.
Overall, the room he awoke in must be the rabbit's bedroom, given how decorated it is. It's a super cute room to be honest, lots of posters of things, cute decor, and lots of plants! This guy must love plants or something, cause there's at least 8 plants in just this room, he thought.
Leo brought his attention towards his wounded leg, it was bandaged, but it looked like it needed to be re-bandaged again, judging by how dirty it looked now. I must've been sleeping for a while now, if it looks that bad. The bandage stretched from his thigh, all the way to his knee. "Augh, boy..." Leo winced, although it didn't hurt as much now, it still definitely was a bad sight to see.
Maybe I should go find-
The door creaked open, and the white rabbit was now in the room.
At first, they just stared at each other, not talking. But the snow-white rabbit broke the silence first.
"So, how's your leg feeling?"
Leo wasn't sure, it didn't hurt, but it felt uncomfortable in a way. "Better." He bluntly said, as he sat up, resting his back against the backboard.
"Good! I'm glad that I was able to help, I'm guessing you have questions, right?" He said as he slowly walked closer to the bed, closer to him.
"Many."
"Okay, well first let me introduce myself to you!" He (somehow) cheerfully said. "My name is Yuichi Usagi, and I found you injured while you were in a fight with some goat-looking-man, so I decided to help you out!" Usagi said with a smile, how can one smile at a time like this?? "Oh! and also, there were these other turtles at the battle, are they your brothers of some sort?"
That reminded Leo, his brothers must be so worried about him and where he is!! Raph, being the mother hen he is, is probably panicking like crazy, and Donnie being the way he is, most likely is stalking every camera in Manhattan, and Mikey is probably trying to calm the both of them down while also trying to calm his own nerves down.
Leo is in so much trouble once he gets out of this guy's house.
"My brothers!!" He screamed. "They're probably so worried right now! I have to go, now!!" Leo said as he stumbled trying to get out of the bed.
Usagi's face flushed with scarce, "you can't get up yet! The wound is still very open, you're really lucky that it doesn't need stiches." He tried to get him to calm down, "we'll figure this out, trust me. Right now, you don't want to be moving around."
Leo grew annoyed, all he needed was a little help, he could just portal away right now if he wanted too... Where are his swords. The ninja couldn't find his swords, did the rabbit know how much they meant to him? WHERE ARE HIS--
"Are you okay, Kappa?" Usagi concerning asked him.
"Am I okay? You took my swords!" He yelled.
The rabbit's face grew with shock, "oh! Well, I didn't want you to try to do anything, if you were that type of person. I can bring them to you if you'd like?" He said with a genuine smile.
"Yes, bring me my swords, please." He sighed of relief, glad that nothing bad happened to them, he didn't know if the rabbit was going to let him leave any time soon, so it's best to have them on hand just in case anything happens.
Usagi quickly ran to go grab them from his Livingroom, and when he came back, the slider turtle looked a bit more relaxed knowing that his swords were safe. Usagi understood his concern for his swords, given that if something were to happen to his katana, Edgewing, he would be scarred.
The rabbit thankfully gave Leo his swords back, gently handing them to him.
"Sorry about that, they just are really important to me and all." Leo laughed slightly awkwardly, hoping to bring the tension down in the room.
"No, it's alright, I totally understand your concern. If something like that were to happen to my katana, I'd be scared too!"
"I haven't introduced myself yet, have I?" He looked up at Usagi.
"Surprisingly, no you haven't." He laughed.
"Alright, well, my name is Leonardo Hamato, and I still have no idea what happened for me to end up here." He smirked.
"Oh! right, I totally forgot to tell you how you ended up here!" Usagi said, as he suddenly jumped onto the corner of the bed.
"Alright, so, I was patrolling around the city of course, when I come across the fight between this goat-looking-man, and you guys!" He said as he waved his arms towards the turtle.
"So, I skim the area to see what was going on, and I saw that you were injured and passed out on the battle, so I tried my best to run back as quick, and that was when you woke up..! and then passed out." He said as he rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly.
"And, also... I think it's time to change out the bandage; it's getting dirty already." Usagi told the slider turtle, while giving him a soft smile.
