"Donnie..?"

"Donnie are you okay?!"

"Uhm yeah.... I'm just... Finishing up a project I forgot about!..."

"Donnie what w-" Leo was loudly interrupted with Donnie's drill, he was deeply ashamed of what his life had come too. Everything happened so quickly... He just can't forget about what meatsweats did to him... He was deep in thought and didn't notice Leo entering his room

He placed his hand on Donnie's shoulder "Donnie, what was that on your arm?..." Leo asked concerned

"....i-its nothing Leon, I just hurt myself sooo what about that new turtle?! I'd love to see them! He definitely didn't lie" Donnie looked down in embarrassment, he hates how that happens

Leo let out a forceful chuckle, "oh the turtle? Their out there in the living room, Raphs got em, they ain't talking so it's just complicated"

"That's great.... " Donnie forced on a smile and stood up

Leo took that as a sign to leave, Donnie dragged himself out to the living room

He stared in confusion as raph and the turtle froze from tackling each other, darting their eyes from one another

Just then Mikey walked out with splinter, his hand wrapped up tightly in bandages— his face looking with sorrow "my drawing handddd" be groaned, he then stopped to look up at Donnie with glee

"Hi Donnie!" He beamed out, exited to see his older brother

"Hello Michael" Donnie said in a monotoned voice

Mikey's smile faded in slight disappointment of his brothers reaction, he knew that something was up with him, he was never the same since that day

"OW!" Raph yelped

The others turned to look, one of the turtles heads were biting his arm

Leo bursted out in laughter at the sight, "Ha! Raph got bit by a wild turtle!" He cackled

"They aren't wild! Their just feral-" he insisted

The turtles heard this, the one biting his bit harder and the other one was snickering "he called you feral-" they snorted

The other stopped biting and glared at the first turtle, raph took that opportunity and grabbed picked them up by their shell and held em away from himself

"Hey!-" they both groaned out in annoyance

"There, that problems gone." Raph smirked in victory

"Alright you.... Two start talking, your silent games gone on long enough!" Leo commanded

"Yeah! Are you evil?! Who do you work for?!" Mikey chimed in

"We aren't evil!"

"And we don't work for anyone but ourselves and each other! Also we have names!"

"Yin and Yang, I'm Yin, their Yang"

Raph Leo and Mikey looked at each other with confusion, but their faces brightened up with realization

"OHHHH so that's why there's a yin and yang symbol on your clothing!!!"

Yin and yang looked at each other and sighed

"Yes.... and no" the muttered out

"Yes and no? What do you mean by that" Mikey wondered, yin and yang looked depressed at the question, raph saw the expression and tried to make little of the situation "Okay Mikey, that's enough to of your questions"

"But what did I say-"

Raph interrupted Mikey with his own question "so.... If your not evil, or bad... Why were you caught stealing by our friend April and my brotha Donnie?"

"We only steal necessities, aka stuff we need and or can't afford, like food or water, sometimes pen or paper for yin right here"

Yin waved their hand and gave a smile

"They like to draw, their very talented"

"OOO!, You like to draw?! I love to draw too!!!" Mikey bursted out in amazement

"No kidding! I draw almost every chance I get!" Yin gleamed and pulled out some drawing of their own and handed em to Mikey

"Woah dude this is amazing!!!"

"Pshhh no, this is nothing!"

"Oh I can show you my drawings!, Raph can I take em to my room?!? Please!?"

"Mmm.... I don't know Mikey...." Raph questioned to himself

"Pleaseeeeee?!?????" He whined

"Mmm..... Fine, I cannot ever say no to you" he gave in

"Yang you wanna go?" Yin quickly spat out

"Eh, sure why not, don't want you two causing mischief" yang added

"Wait, wdym "you wanna go?" Aren't you two like... Conjoined? How does that work?" Donnie questioned, finally speaking after the long quietness

"Oh you do talk, well we kind of taught ourselves this thing that can spiritually separate ourselves, making up leave our physical body for up to a day it's pretty cool and if we touch each other for longer than 5 min, it could result in death, we have no idea why" the two explained

"Whaaa!?, No way!" Leo asked

"Show us now!" Mikey beamed

"Scientifically implausible." Donnie argued

"Oh it's plausible alright, and if you will red turtle, put us down please"

"Oh .. right right-"

Raphael set the conjoined turtle down as they stepped back and closed their eyes

"精神的に分離

物理的に結合し、

二つの魂がもはや一致しないようにしましょう

( Seishintekini bunri butsuri-teki ni ketsugō shi, futatsu no tamashī ga mohaya itchishinai-yō ni shimashou) " they phrased twice, then they fell to the ground limp, the yin and yang symbol appeared flashing above them, then yin and yangs souls appeared from the symbol, yins White with black patterns and a chest dot, yangs black with white patterns and a chest dot.

Everyone stood with amazement and awh, clearly stunned and not believing their eyes

"HOW-"

"HOLY SHELL?!-"

"AMAZING!"

they all blurted out at the same time

"Cool huh?" Yin excitedly blurted

Donnie took notice of how barley anyone spoke a word twords him, he felt lonely

Everyone's words began to fade and seem muffled, he suddenly felt so small in a world of giants, he didn't want to be around people anymore.

He slipped back into his room without anyone noticing, his arms and legs ached in pain, his room dark with barley any way to see, he plopped down on his bed and held his head which he felt a migraine appearing

The voices from the other room slowly appeared louder but... The words were tricking him, he knew that it's not what they were saying, but his head didn't, the words morphed into cruel phrases

"Glad Donatello gone."

"He's such a pain."

"He's weak."

"He's pitiful."

The words echoed over each other, more and more hurtful words flooded throught the room, he covered his ears but that didn't even muffle them, they seemed louder and louder than before

"He deserved it."

"He should cut deeper."

"We should have left him there to die with meatsweats."

The last word that was muttered was the soft spot, his eyes darted open and tears flooded hard like a waterfall.

"They should have left me to suffer..." He cried

He flailed his hands up and down, pacing around the room, breathing heavily

His arms ached, he felt pain fade in through his body, he wanted it to stop. He squeezed his arms with his hands, he dug his nails with his skin, praying that the pain left, it dimmed down but only a little...

In desperate attempt he searched his room, Donnie's eyes fell apon his lab he ran twords it and frantically opened his desk drawer, shuffling around to find something...

Donnie's face felt relief and out he bring his hand which was holding.... A box cutter...

His hands now shaking vigorously, switched up the blade and sat down, rolling up his shorts a bit....

One...

Two...

Three...

Incisions he made in his thigh, his breaths now also shaking, they slowed and he dropped the box cutter as he slipped down into his chair, inane laughter started, which slowly faded into sobs

"Hah!.... Heh.... W- what's wrong with me.... He he!" He stuttered

He found himself asleep later on, the lab was dark, raph was shaking his awake

"Donnie!"

"DONNIE!"

"DONNIE PLEASE!"

"Hu- huh?.... W- what...?" Donnie woke up and rubbed his eyes

"Donnie what happened?!?, What did you do to yourself?!..."

Donnie was confused his eyes shut open as his sight locked onto his rolled up shorts and cuts on his thighs, also his wrists showed while the box cutter played on the floor, he looked up in horror while Raphael face and eyes were filled with tears and the most heart breaking face ever

"Raph... I-... I-.... I'm sorry!" He stuttered out, breaking into hot tears, even thought his eyes were still red from last time

"W-....why Donnie why!?" He sobbed out, falling onto his knees and his hands met the floor, trying to keep himself up

"I'm sorry!...."

"What are you sorry for Donnie?!!, Why.... Is this... Me?! Did I do this to you?!" Raphael whimpered out

"No, no, no, no, no! Raph this isn't you, this isn't a-any of you guy's fault!"

"Then why.... Why Donatello..."

Donnie's blood ran cold when he heard raph say his full name, he didn't know the answer... Why did he do this to himself?...

"I..... I don't know..." He mumbled

His heart was in pieces, he didn't know the answer to that question, was it his brother fault?, No!... Atleast that's not what he thinks...

Raph sniffed, "please don't do this to yourself Donnie...." He got up and set a cup of hot cocoa on his desk, "...Mikey made this...."

When those words left his mouth he walked right out the door

Donnie looked down at his body and examined the scars and cuts

"Why... Did I do this to myself...."
