Leonardo was not just a samurai.

He was immortal.

He was a demon.

Leonardo’s past was fogged by treachery and misfortune. The ones he believed he could trust were the ones that led to his down fall.

Leo was once a noble and respected hellion in the throne room of the Shredder, king of the demons. The Shredder trusted Leo to carry all his orders and duties, without question. For many centuries, Leo continued to follow the Shredder, bowing at his feet. But all of that changed once the Shredder’s only daughter, Karai, became of age to marry. Leo had helped raise Karai, he was there for karai’s first steps and even her first words. It was a huge shock to Leonardo when Karai had asked him to marry her, and become next in line to sit on the throne.

Deep down Leonardo wanted to be king of the demons, although he was too honorable to admit it. But he wanted to earn the right to seat on the throne, not be married into it. He could not marry karai, a child he had grown to love as a sister. He refused her hand in marriage. She tried to win his love, but her attempts only seemed to push him further away. The Shredder merely sat back and watched his daughter’s pride crump at the hands of his most loyal servant. Leonardo seemed to have a strong hold of himself, not letting his private life mix with his business he had with the Shredder.

Heart broken and blinded by anger, Karai forced herself upon Leo. Trapping him in the safety of his own bedroom while he slept, holding a knife to his throat. Waking up to Karai straddling him in such a threatening manner sent him into a demonic state and he impulsively attacked Karai, killing the young girl with his sharp teeth and claws.

Karai’s cries filled the dark halls of the grand infernal castle. Guards flooded Leo’s room, Shredder leading the way. Leonardo screamed, tears rolling down his face once he realized what he had done.

“Arrest him,” The Shredder told his guards through his own tears, “I want him beheaded! I want his head to serve has my daughter’s tombstone!” Leo’s eyes widened as he jumped up, grabbing his katanas and dashing out of the room, dodging and avoiding the guards. As Leo ran, he listened to wailing and howling of the Shredder echo through the halls. He knew that the Shredder was laying over Karai’s body, sobbing as he told her he would avenge her.

Leonardo ran.

He ran until his legs gave out.

Leo told himself it wasn’t his fault, he had no control. Karai left him with no choice. He vowed to never return to the land of the demons, he would have to find his way through an unknown and fearful world.

From the moment Leo entered the mortal world, he was being hunted. The Shredder had seekers and watchers looking for Leonardo and they were always right on his tail. He was forced to keep moving, never staying too long in one area. He learned the ways of the mortals and adapted to their world, disguising himself as a samurai.

After a few years, the search for karai’s killer turned into a cold case. But Leo never let his guard down. He knew there were a few seekers still looking for him. He knew if another demon saw him they would tell the Shredder. He tried to mind himself and pass through the mortal world without being noticed, but it seemed nearly impossible to do.

Every village he visited seemed to always have demons hiding in the shadows, some were neutral, just trying to get by like Leo. But some were there to cause harm and they were foolish enough to challenge Leo; which led to their own destruction. The mortals came to know Leo somewhat as a proctor, their guardian samurai, even though he was not battling the demon to benefit them. But he still enjoyed the praise and treatment the mortal gave him.

After his job was done, Leonardo left. He could not afford the Shredder’s goons investigating or the angels stepping in to end the violence. Although the angels liked the fact they were not the ones getting their hands dirt, they also knew what happened to a demon that killed other demons.

They grew stronger.

Leonardo’s strength, mind and body, grew stronger with each kill.

Thankfully, Leo was smart and cunning. The Angels always showed up after Leo’s work was done. They never noticed that the demon they were looking for was right under their wings, hiding in plain sight. He managed to slip by them time after time.

Leonardo had no plan.

He just followed the wind.

He wondered endlessly, searching for something. Something that gave him a reason, something that gave him hope, something that gave him a purpose.

His search seemed hopeless, pointless.

Until he met Michelangelo.

Now, the old demon sat on the couch, watching Michelangelo peacefully sleep in his bed. He had only met Mikey a few hours ago and the youngling already gave a new light to Leo’s heart. There was something about him that Leo don’t quite understand, he was so young and innocent. Leo knew what the world was like, it was a cruel place. Michelangelo wouldn’t last a day by himself.

Leonardo hated himself for the way he acted when they first met. He acted foolish and out of impulse, which brought back memories of his past. The fear in Mikey’s eyes when Leo approached him with harmful intensions made the demon sick to his stomach. And just seconds after acting so foolish, Mikey forgive him. He never brought it up again.

The trust that Michelangelo already had in Leo was soothing but also worrisome. Leo knew he couldn’t be trusted. His anger was easily triggered and it was hard to control his lustful desires. Demons had done horrible and dreadful things to mortals, and Leo had been a part of it.  

Leonardo had already lied to Mikey by saying he had never met another turtle before. Leonardo did know of two others. One of them being his little brother, Donatello. Donnie was a genius, he could make and fix anything. But as he grew older his studies turned into experiments on mortals and even other demons. They were forcibly separated when they were young; Donnie was sent to the Shredder’s lavatory in the outlands, to research and experiment on mortals for the king’s amusement.

The other turtle Leo had only since once or twice. He was an angel, a powerful guard of the Elites. He was the angel leading the investigation of the demons being killed in the villages. To Leo, This large turtle was a threat.

But now, there was another turtle, one that was neither angel nor demon.

Sighing as he pinched the bridge between his eyes, Leonardo slowly stood from his couch and walked over to the bed, sitting down next to Michelangelo. Leo couldn’t help but smile as Michelangelo lightly snorted in his sleep. Taking an uneasy breath, Leo lifted his hand to Mikey’s face, letting his sharp talons gently caress the side of his face. Leo squeezed his eyes shut and pulled his hand away as soon as Mikey unconsciously lean up into his touch.

Inhaling and exhaling deeply, Leo blocked out his impure thoughts and focused on his gentler side. Mikey was beautiful, anyone could see that. He was fit and built perfectly from his tiny toes up to his small freckled head. All Leo wanted to do was ravish the youngling and lock him away from the rest of the world. Leo had never felt guilt about sexual thoughts until now.

Leonardo lowered his head into the palms of his hands, cursing under his breath. The sun would be up soon and Mikey would wake. And as promised, they would talk. Surprisingly, Leo found himself to be slightly nervous. He really didn’t know what to do or say. Everything had happened so fast, he wasn’t sure where to begin. He knew he couldn’t tell Mikey he was a demon, but he wanted to. He wanted to share all his secrets with Mikey.

After everything that had happened to Leo, it was hard for him to interact or open up to the world around him. He didn’t want to get hurt again. He never spoke to the mortals, simply nodding and using gestures to answer them. Leo sometimes talked with the neutral demons hiding in the dark corners of the villages, but he was short and spoke very little.

Leonardo yawned as he rolled his shoulders and looked out the window. The sun was peeking over the hilltops, morning had come.

Leo grinned as he looked down to find a pair of big beautiful blue eyes staring back at him. Gulping lightly, Leo turned his body so that he could have a better look at Mikey.

“Good morning,” Leo gently said, careful not to frighten the smaller turtle. Relief flooded Leo’s heart as Mikey propped himself up on his elbows and smiled back at him.

“Good morning, Leo,” Mikey whispered.
