  "writing": "“I need you to tell me all that you know about Saki’s place,” Raph said to Mikey in their native language. They were in the kitchen preparing breakfast while Don and Leo went to the tribe for the day’s supplies. Mikey was certain that they were also spending some time with Venus.  \n\nThat was fine with Mikey. He liked spending time with Raphael. It had been three days since Raph and Leo had come to the saloon and Mikey found himself wanting to spend more time with Raph. There was something about the larger turtle that Mikey liked. He was gruff and at times vulgar but he was kind. The only problem was that Raph never seemed interested in Mikey. Raph has been with both Leo and Don but has yet to make any kind of move on Mikey. It was almost painful. Raph was kind to Mikey and protective but it didn’t look like it was going to go beyond that. \n\n“There is always someone on guard,” Mikey said as he checked the pastries. “You guys won’t be able to make any noise.” He remembered one of the few times Hun was permitted to take Mikey into the house. Hun was a live in servant and had a room to himself that was not too far from Saki’s. Hun needed to be ready at a moment’s notice to assist Saki in anything. \n\nThey had left the saloon late and by the time they arrived at the house, Saki had already turned in for the night. Despite their best efforts to be quiet, Saki woke up before they had reached Hun’s room. Saki glared at them from his doorway in a silent warning. “Saki is a light sleeper,” he warned. “That man is always on alert. It’s amazing that he gets any sleep at all.”\n\nRaph shrugged, “Being quiet will be easy enough. I need quiet anyway.”\n\nMikey turned to look at Raph. “It isn’t worth it.”\n\n“We can do this,” Raph insisted. “Everything is in place. We will do to Saki what he did to Donatello. And, you won’t have to sell yourself anymore.”\n\n“Is that why you don’t want to be with me?” Mikey asked, keeping his eyes fixed on the ground. \n\nRaph grabbed Mikey’s by the shoulders and turned him so that they were facing each other. “You get used, every day. I don’t want to make any demands of you. I figured that you wouldn’t want to, that you had enough.”\n\n“I never enjoy it,” Mikey replied, the words bursting from him before he could think. “I can’t. If I did I would run the risk of them figuring out that I’m not a girl. Not that I could enjoy it. They’re just rutting around.” He looked up at Raph and managed a weak smile. “I know it would be different with you.”\n\nRaph cupped Mikey’s face with one hand. Caressing Mikey’s cheek with his thumb, Raph leaned in and planted a soft kiss on Mikey’s lips. Raph’s lips were warm and rough but there was a tenderness in the kiss. And at such a close proximity Mikey got a good whiff of Raph’s scent over the smell of the baked goods. “If it is something you want, I’ll be more than happy to be with you,” Raph said, his warm breath ghosting over Mikey’s skin. “I don’t want you to feel obligated.”\n\n“It is something I want,” Mikey whispered back. “With every ounce of my soul.”\n\n“That makes me happy to hear,” Raph smiled, pulling away and gestured to the oven. “Get that stuff out before it burns.”\n\nMikey snapped out of his trance and raced over to the oven. Fortunately he got to it in time. The pastries were perfectly golden. He would have never forgiven himself if he had managed to ruin the morning pastries. Donatello didn’t need that kind of disaster.\n\nAs Mikey placed the tray on the counter, Raph moved behind him. His nimble fingers made short work of the string that held the girdle in place as he kissed along Mikey’s neck. As soon as the girdle was loose, it fell to the ground along with the dress. Raphael then removed the headband Mikey wore, tossed it aside and then replaced it with his hat. Raphael’s clothes joined Mikey’s on the floor and the two found a corner that was out of the way.   \n\nRaphael kissed along Mikey’s neck as he stimulated Mikey’s tail. His warm hands slid along Mikey’s thighs as he coaxed Mikey down into his lap as the two made their way to the floor. It didn’t take much more to arouse Mikey. As Mikey’s penis emerged, Raph grabbed hold and started to pump. Mikey let out a whimper of pleasure and Raph silenced it with a deep kiss. \n\nRaphael tip entered Mikey’s cloaca and with a few gentle bucks of his hips, Raph penetrated into Mikey while Mikey rocked his hips to assist. Once Raph was imbedded they stilled, the only movement was Raph’s hand as he continued to pump Mikey. \n\nDesire soon had Mikey begin to bounce as he sought his release. He was close. Raphael was in no hurry, focusing solely on Mikey’s satisfaction. They kept their mouths pressed together in an attempt to muffle the sounds of their coupling. \n\nMikey churred and staggered in his movements as he reached his completion. Raph continued to milk him throughout to make sure that Mikey was thoroughly finished. Only after Mikey let out a satisfied sigh did Raph seek out his own orgasm. \n\nKeeping his beak pressed in the nape of Mikey’s neck, Raph thrust up. He churred as he climaxed, holding tight to Mikey as he did. They continued to hold each other, nuzzling and kissing as they enjoyed the after effects. Mikey had always thought that he would feel heart pounding excitement that hit him lit a whirlwind or it would feel like the world moved, when he found true love. But instead he felt a sense of peace and calm wash over him, like they belonged together. \n\n……..\n\nThe days progressed as normal. Early morning they served the travelers before they continued on their way and a few of the single men in the town before they headed off to work. The early afternoon brought in the business for the little store. The town’s women, and a few of the men, came in to buy goods that were only available from the tribe. Around noon they served lunch. And night time brought in men looking for a room or to unwind. All the while Raph and Leo had to stay hidden in the back. \n\nThe two spent their time going over their plan to get the deeds back. Raphael seemed determined to do it. After much debating and arguing, it was decided that they would break in to Saki’s home while Saki was at worship. That is the time that his security would be the weakest.\n\nBusinesses were closed for the settlers’ day of worship. Only the saloons were open for minimal business and only for travelers needing a place to sleep. The day before, meat pies and fruit were sold to men who had no one to cook for them so that they could eat on the day of worship. The only other place where people could go was the temple. Unless it was in the service of their lord, all work on that day was forbidden. It was the perfect time to go. \n\nSaki would be out of his house for hours, participating in the day’s activities with the other town’s people. Donatello and Michelangelo would be out as well, showing their support for the town and their beliefs. \n\nCalhoun returned to town and told Donatello that the county official had scheduled a visit to the town for the day after their holy day. It seems that Saki had already put in a request. If there wasn’t a will and deed presented by noon, then land would fall in to county rights and Saki would be allowed to purchase the land from the county. It couldn’t have been better timing. \n\nCalhoun and a few others had agreed to play witness to Don’s story. “I know Mr. Oroku stole the deeds from you. It’s the only reason I’m willing to do this.”\n\n“And I thank you for all that you are doing,” Don said in earnest. \n\nWhen the day arrived, Raph and Leo were stoic. Mikey didn’t blame them. It was a terrifying thing knowing what they were about to do. If they got caught they would be hanged. Mikey didn’t think that he could handle losing Raph. \n\nMikey was a bundle of nerves but he tried not to show it as he walked through town with Don. They weren’t able to get very far before Hun arrived to whisk Mikey away. “You will ask forgiveness for all of your sins.” It was the same every week. Hun would make sure that Mikey prayed to their lord for forgiveness. To clear him of the unholy taint that being a savage brought him. “It is good that you are open to our ways.” Mikey only tolerated it to keep up appearances. He cared nothing for the settler’s god or what it thought of him. \n\nMikey had to sit next to Hun and Saki during the preacher’s sermon. Mikey only half listened to it. He looked over and saw that Donatello sat nearby, in perfect view of Saki. Once the sermon was done Don made sure to remain to be seen.   \n\nWhen they returned to the saloon they headed straight for the back. There was no sign of Leo or Raph and Mikey had a sinking feeling that they had been caught. But when Don opened the safe the deeds to the saloon and land were inside. \n\n…….\n\nIt wasn’t safe to remain in the town any longer. In an attempt to keep Saki from suspecting them, Raphael and Leonardo had to leave town and return the next day. When they returned, it had to be done where people could see them. They had to look like they had just arrived after a long journey if their plan was going to work. \n\nThey had made a quick stop to collect the horse and cart from the tribe and headed out to stay at the farm that night. As Leo walked around, he could hear the echoes of his past. His mother’s voice was a clear memory. He could still hear her humming to herself as he cooked supper.  He could remember the smell and taste of those meals. There was nothing like them in this land. \n\nHe remembered the layout of the house and as he stood at the edge of what was left he could picture it clearly. He would do his best to rebuild it as it was, though part of him doubted if he would be able to sleep in a room built in the same spot where his parents’ master bedroom once stood. It was where they were when they died. Maybe he wouldn’t build on that part. That would all have to be figured out on a later date. \n\n“Casey and I stayed here when we steal deeds,” Raph stated out of the blue, sitting on the ground next to the barn. He rested his back against the old wood and looked up at the sky. “Is strange to be back now.”\n\n“I guess you can say that you’ve come full circle,” Leo said as he joined Raph. “It kind of makes me think that all of this is fate.”\n\nRaph nodded. “Yes. Is all fate.”\n\n“When all of this is said and done, I will need someone to help me here on the farm,” Leo said. “We would go into town often to sell our goods and to buy what we can’t produce so you would see Mikey and Don often.” He watched Raph think the offer over. “That is if you want to,” Leo added, feeling a little unsure of himself. \n\n“Sounds nice,” Raph replied. “I will do it.”\n\n“Good,” Leo smiled. Despite his best efforts, he found himself bonding with Raph, Mikey, and Don. He still feared losing them; he didn’t think he would be able to handle it. But things were finally going in his favor. By this time tomorrow, he would be the lawful owner of the land. \n\nThey lay in the shelter of what was left of the barn. There was a cooling breeze that kept them comfortable enough to get some sleep. When they woke, they were stiff and sore. They made sure that they looked like they had been traveling for a long time which wasn’t hard to do. \n\nThey made an early start since they had to be in town before noon. Leo sat in the driver’s seat and led the horse as Raph sat in the cart. They rode in silence, both unsure with how it was all going to play out. Leo prayed to whatever gods existed, that it all worked out. Why fate them to all to come together if they were meant to fail?\n\nThe town came into view and the nerves started to set in. What if this all went horribly wrong? It was too late to turn back now. And if he wanted his land he had to claim it today or Saki would get it. Leo could not let that happen. He just hoped that the county official wasn’t against turtles and would believe Leo’s story. \n\n“We have to win,” Raph mumbled as if he had read Leo’s mind. \n\nWhen they drove into town, they got a few strange looks from the town’s people. Leo knew that there were wanted posters posted throughout town. Leo feared that some of town’s people might have recognized them. Hopefully, in a few hours, it wouldn’t matter. \n\nIt was time to put on the show. Pushing down his hate for Saki, Leonardo drove the cart to the Town Hall which doubled as the mayor’s office. The plan was to make it look as if he had never been in the town before and that he had no idea that there was a turtle clan nearby. Raph had to fain memory loss. \n\nLeo hitched the horse to a post as Raph hopped down out of the cart. Together they entered the building and sought out anyone who could help them. It just so happened that there was a security guard nearby. “You lost?” the guard asked, eyeing the two of them suspiciously. \n\n“I have come here for help,” Leo replied, trying his best not to take offence to the guard’s tone. “I will need to see a county official for a legal matter over some land just outside of town. Who should I talk to so that I can send the request to have a county official come to town?”\n\nThe mad scratched his beard as he looked Leo over. “County official is already here.”\n\n“What luck,” Leo said with a smile. “Where is he?”\n\n“In the courtroom,” the man pointed. “The meeting is open to the public so you can go on in.”\n\n“Thank you,” Leo nodded and turned to the set of large, ornate doors. His heart hammered in his chest. He knew that this could all blow up in his face but it was now or never. He had to try. \n\nAs he opened the door he could hear someone who he assumed was the county official say, “It is not yet noon, Mr. Oroku. You have to wait.” The man was seated at the judge’s table with a few other men, looking at his pocket watch. He looked up as Leonardo entered the room. “Can we help you, lad?”\n\nSaki abruptly stood, his glaring eyes fixed on Leo. “What are you doing here? Are you turning yourself in?”\n\n“Turning myself in?” Leonardo asked, looking around the room. “Are you referring to the wanted posters?” Leo nodded and timidly approached. “That is part of it. I would like to clear my name. I had not committed any crimes. It was Old Hob who was the criminal.”\n\n“You traveled with this Hob character,” the county official stated. \n\n“Yes,” Leo nodded. “He took me from my home when I was little.” Now for the little lie they came up with to try to gain sympathy. “He… fancied me.” Leo turned his head and looked at the ground. “I don’t like talking about it.”\n\n“It’s alright, lad,” the county official said and signaled to a seat. “Please be seated and tell us why you are here. My name is Harold O’Brian and I am a legal official for all things within the county. I will be the judge in all things today and my final judgment will be law. These men will be witnesses. Do you understand?”\n\n“Yes. Thank you,” Leonardo said, trying to remain looking as meek as possible as he took a seat. He looked over at Saki. “It’s good to see you again Mr. Oroku.” \n\n“You know this young man, Mr. Oroku?” the county official asked. \n\n“He is the adopted son of the late Hamatos,” Saki answered through gritted teeth and Leo had to fight the urge to smile. “I met him once when I visited the Hamato farm. It was believed that he burned the house down and ran away. This is why there is a bounty on his head.”\n\n“I didn’t kill my parents,” Leo said, feigning disbelief. In all honesty Leo expected Saki to blame him for his parent’s death. “Old Hob tricked me and led me out of the house. He had set the fire and had stolen the deed and my parents’ will. He had planned on selling them to someone who would have passed as a distant relative. Before we got to his potential buyer, he was bitten by a snake. He confessed everything to me before he died. It took me years to find my way home again.”\n\nLeonardo pulled the deed and will out of the satchel that he wore over his shoulder. “I just hope I’m not too late to lay claim to my parents’ farm.”\n\n“I remember drawing up the will of the Hamatos.” Mr. O’Brian held out his hand. “Let me see the documents you have. I will make sure they are valid.”\n\n“Yes sir,” Leo said, standing up to hand the papers over the long table that usually seated the whole town council, including Saki. There was something satisfying to seeing Saki on the powerless side of the table. He was subject to the laws of the county and had no power to overturn them. \n\nMr. O’Brian nodded his head. “They are still sealed, this is good, and seals are mine.” He broke the seals and opened the envelopes to pull out the documents. The room fell silent as O’Brian read them over. \n\nSetting them on the table, O’Brian pulled some supplies out of his bag. “These are legal documents and, according to the will, you, young Hamato, are to inherit the farm and the lands that once belonged to your adoptive parents.”\n\n“There is no evidence that he is who he says he is,” Saki said in protest. \n\nMr. O’Brian looked up at him and pointed at him with his pin. “You said yourself, not five minutes ago, that he is who he claims to be. I believe that the witnesses here will concur. The land is his.” He shifted his gaze to Leonardo. “You came just in time for it too. One more hour and the land would have fallen into the possession of the county. Mr. Saki here was interested in buying the land.”\n\n“Oh yeah,” Leo said as if he had just remembered. “That was why you came out to visit my mother. You were looking to buy the land. It was about a week before Old Hob burned down the house.”\n\n“What are you implying,” Saki snapped and Mr. O’Brian looked up at them.\n\nLeo’s eyes went wide. “I suspect that it was your visit that made Hob act when he did. He had been planning on taking the deed and killing my parents for a long time. From what I understand, you offered my parents a lot of money. I’m sure he was afraid that my parents were thinking about selling. It would have ruined his plans.”\n\n“Yes, I’m sure that’s it,” Saki was quick to agree. Clearing his throat he approached Leo. “I offer you the same. I will buy the land from you for a hansom sum of money.”\n\n“It is all that I have left of my parents,” Leonardo stated, shaking his head. “I cannot sell it.”\n\n“You cannot hope to farm it by yourself,” Saki argued. \n\n“But, I won’t be,” Leo replied and pointed over to where Raph was standing off to the side. Saki looked over at Raph and Leo swore that all of the color drained from the man’s face. “He will be helping me. I met him in my travels. He was wandering alone in the wild. He had suffered a great trauma. He has bullet scars in his plastron but he cannot remember what had happened. As a matter of fact, he cannot remember his life from before I found him. But between you and me,” Leo whispered to Saki, “I don’t think he understands much. I want to make my farm a safe haven for turtles who had lost their tribes. I never really got the chance to know my own people. I want to help them any way I can.”\n\nMr. O’Brian looked up from his work. “It is my understanding that there is a tribe not too far from town. I believe they take in turtles who wander out this way.”\n\n“Really?” Leo perked up. “My father never told me that there was a nearby tribe.”\n\n“Maybe you can sell me your farm and go live with the tribe,” Saki offered, jumping on the opportunity.\n\nLeo looked at him and shook his head. “I would still like to keep my farm. Maybe I can work with the tribe or trade with them. Maybe they would be willing to help me build my flocks and get my farm started.”\n\n“I won’t allow it,” Saki snapped before regaining his composure. “I own the lands that the turtle tribe lives on. I own whatever they produce. I will not be granting free handouts. If you can pay for the supplies, then you can have them.”\n\n“I understand,” Leonardo replied. “I will have to find another way then.”\n\n“That is unfortunate, Mr. Oroku,” Mr. O’Brian said as he placed the papers into new envelopes and sealed them, “that you cannot find it in your heart to help this young lad out.”\n\n“I am not in the business of charity,” Saki replied, his voice smooth yet laced with anger. \n\n“I am well aware of that,” Mr. O’Brian said. “I’m sure it will be remembered as you try to move up in your political standings.” He held the deed out to Leonardo. “I wish you the best of luck.”\n\n“Thank you,” Leo said as he accepted the deed. “You have no idea how much this means to me.”\n\n“I remember how much it meant to your parents.” Mr. O’Brian nodded to Leonardo. “There is nothing more you need to do here. You are free to go and start tending to your lands.”\n\n“Thank you again,” Leo said with a slight bow as he backed away. He then turned and made his way out of the room and Raphael followed after. As he made his way out of the building, Leo saw Donatello enter. They passed in the entrance hall and it took all of Leo’s will not to make any move that would indicate that they knew each other. Just a polite nod as they passed was all that they spared. Leo said a little prayer that Donatello’s meeting went as well as his did. As much as he would have liked to be in the room with him to see Saki defeated, he knew it wasn’t wise. \n",
  "writing_bbcode_parsed": "<span style='word-wrap: break-word;'>&ldquo;I need you to tell me all that you know about Saki&rsquo;s place,&rdquo; Raph said to Mikey in their native language. They were in the kitchen preparing breakfast while Don and Leo went to the tribe for the day&rsquo;s supplies. Mikey was certain that they were also spending some time with Venus.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br />That was fine with Mikey. He liked spending time with Raphael. It had been three days since Raph and Leo had come to the saloon and Mikey found himself wanting to spend more time with Raph. There was something about the larger turtle that Mikey liked. He was gruff and at times vulgar but he was kind. The only problem was that Raph never seemed interested in Mikey. Raph has been with both Leo and Don but has yet to make any kind of move on Mikey. It was almost painful. Raph was kind to Mikey and protective but it didn&rsquo;t look like it was going to go beyond that. <br /><br />&ldquo;There is always someone on guard,&rdquo; Mikey said as he checked the pastries. &ldquo;You guys won&rsquo;t be able to make any noise.&rdquo; He remembered one of the few times Hun was permitted to take Mikey into the house. Hun was a live in servant and had a room to himself that was not too far from Saki&rsquo;s. Hun needed to be ready at a moment&rsquo;s notice to assist Saki in anything. <br /><br />They had left the saloon late and by the time they arrived at the house, Saki had already turned in for the night. Despite their best efforts to be quiet, Saki woke up before they had reached Hun&rsquo;s room. Saki glared at them from his doorway in a silent warning. &ldquo;Saki is a light sleeper,&rdquo; he warned. &ldquo;That man is always on alert. It&rsquo;s amazing that he gets any sleep at all.&rdquo;<br /><br />Raph shrugged, &ldquo;Being quiet will be easy enough. I need quiet anyway.&rdquo;<br /><br />Mikey turned to look at Raph. &ldquo;It isn&rsquo;t worth it.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;We can do this,&rdquo; Raph insisted. &ldquo;Everything is in place. We will do to Saki what he did to Donatello. And, you won&rsquo;t have to sell yourself anymore.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Is that why you don&rsquo;t want to be with me?&rdquo; Mikey asked, keeping his eyes fixed on the ground. <br /><br />Raph grabbed Mikey&rsquo;s by the shoulders and turned him so that they were facing each other. &ldquo;You get used, every day. I don&rsquo;t want to make any demands of you. I figured that you wouldn&rsquo;t want to, that you had enough.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I never enjoy it,&rdquo; Mikey replied, the words bursting from him before he could think. &ldquo;I can&rsquo;t. If I did I would run the risk of them figuring out that I&rsquo;m not a girl. Not that I could enjoy it. They&rsquo;re just rutting around.&rdquo; He looked up at Raph and managed a weak smile. &ldquo;I know it would be different with you.&rdquo;<br /><br />Raph cupped Mikey&rsquo;s face with one hand. Caressing Mikey&rsquo;s cheek with his thumb, Raph leaned in and planted a soft kiss on Mikey&rsquo;s lips. Raph&rsquo;s lips were warm and rough but there was a tenderness in the kiss. And at such a close proximity Mikey got a good whiff of Raph&rsquo;s scent over the smell of the baked goods. &ldquo;If it is something you want, I&rsquo;ll be more than happy to be with you,&rdquo; Raph said, his warm breath ghosting over Mikey&rsquo;s skin. &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t want you to feel obligated.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;It is something I want,&rdquo; Mikey whispered back. &ldquo;With every ounce of my soul.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;That makes me happy to hear,&rdquo; Raph smiled, pulling away and gestured to the oven. &ldquo;Get that stuff out before it burns.&rdquo;<br /><br />Mikey snapped out of his trance and raced over to the oven. Fortunately he got to it in time. The pastries were perfectly golden. He would have never forgiven himself if he had managed to ruin the morning pastries. Donatello didn&rsquo;t need that kind of disaster.<br /><br />As Mikey placed the tray on the counter, Raph moved behind him. His nimble fingers made short work of the string that held the girdle in place as he kissed along Mikey&rsquo;s neck. As soon as the girdle was loose, it fell to the ground along with the dress. Raphael then removed the headband Mikey wore, tossed it aside and then replaced it with his hat. Raphael&rsquo;s clothes joined Mikey&rsquo;s on the floor and the two found a corner that was out of the way.&nbsp;&nbsp; <br /><br />Raphael kissed along Mikey&rsquo;s neck as he stimulated Mikey&rsquo;s tail. His warm hands slid along Mikey&rsquo;s thighs as he coaxed Mikey down into his lap as the two made their way to the floor. It didn&rsquo;t take much more to arouse Mikey. As Mikey&rsquo;s penis emerged, Raph grabbed hold and started to pump. Mikey let out a whimper of pleasure and Raph silenced it with a deep kiss. <br /><br />Raphael tip entered Mikey&rsquo;s cloaca and with a few gentle bucks of his hips, Raph penetrated into Mikey while Mikey rocked his hips to assist. Once Raph was imbedded they stilled, the only movement was Raph&rsquo;s hand as he continued to pump Mikey. <br /><br />Desire soon had Mikey begin to bounce as he sought his release. He was close. Raphael was in no hurry, focusing solely on Mikey&rsquo;s satisfaction. They kept their mouths pressed together in an attempt to muffle the sounds of their coupling. <br /><br />Mikey churred and staggered in his movements as he reached his completion. Raph continued to milk him throughout to make sure that Mikey was thoroughly finished. Only after Mikey let out a satisfied sigh did Raph seek out his own orgasm. <br /><br />Keeping his beak pressed in the nape of Mikey&rsquo;s neck, Raph thrust up. He churred as he climaxed, holding tight to Mikey as he did. They continued to hold each other, nuzzling and kissing as they enjoyed the after effects. Mikey had always thought that he would feel heart pounding excitement that hit him lit a whirlwind or it would feel like the world moved, when he found true love. But instead he felt a sense of peace and calm wash over him, like they belonged together. <br /><br />&hellip;&hellip;..<br /><br />The days progressed as normal. Early morning they served the travelers before they continued on their way and a few of the single men in the town before they headed off to work. The early afternoon brought in the business for the little store. The town&rsquo;s women, and a few of the men, came in to buy goods that were only available from the tribe. Around noon they served lunch. And night time brought in men looking for a room or to unwind. All the while Raph and Leo had to stay hidden in the back. <br /><br />The two spent their time going over their plan to get the deeds back. Raphael seemed determined to do it. After much debating and arguing, it was decided that they would break in to Saki&rsquo;s home while Saki was at worship. That is the time that his security would be the weakest.<br /><br />Businesses were closed for the settlers&rsquo; day of worship. Only the saloons were open for minimal business and only for travelers needing a place to sleep. The day before, meat pies and fruit were sold to men who had no one to cook for them so that they could eat on the day of worship. The only other place where people could go was the temple. Unless it was in the service of their lord, all work on that day was forbidden. It was the perfect time to go. <br /><br />Saki would be out of his house for hours, participating in the day&rsquo;s activities with the other town&rsquo;s people. Donatello and Michelangelo would be out as well, showing their support for the town and their beliefs. <br /><br />Calhoun returned to town and told Donatello that the county official had scheduled a visit to the town for the day after their holy day. It seems that Saki had already put in a request. If there wasn&rsquo;t a will and deed presented by noon, then land would fall in to county rights and Saki would be allowed to purchase the land from the county. It couldn&rsquo;t have been better timing. <br /><br />Calhoun and a few others had agreed to play witness to Don&rsquo;s story. &ldquo;I know Mr. Oroku stole the deeds from you. It&rsquo;s the only reason I&rsquo;m willing to do this.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;And I thank you for all that you are doing,&rdquo; Don said in earnest. <br /><br />When the day arrived, Raph and Leo were stoic. Mikey didn&rsquo;t blame them. It was a terrifying thing knowing what they were about to do. If they got caught they would be hanged. Mikey didn&rsquo;t think that he could handle losing Raph. <br /><br />Mikey was a bundle of nerves but he tried not to show it as he walked through town with Don. They weren&rsquo;t able to get very far before Hun arrived to whisk Mikey away. &ldquo;You will ask forgiveness for all of your sins.&rdquo; It was the same every week. Hun would make sure that Mikey prayed to their lord for forgiveness. To clear him of the unholy taint that being a savage brought him. &ldquo;It is good that you are open to our ways.&rdquo; Mikey only tolerated it to keep up appearances. He cared nothing for the settler&rsquo;s god or what it thought of him. <br /><br />Mikey had to sit next to Hun and Saki during the preacher&rsquo;s sermon. Mikey only half listened to it. He looked over and saw that Donatello sat nearby, in perfect view of Saki. Once the sermon was done Don made sure to remain to be seen.&nbsp;&nbsp; <br /><br />When they returned to the saloon they headed straight for the back. There was no sign of Leo or Raph and Mikey had a sinking feeling that they had been caught. But when Don opened the safe the deeds to the saloon and land were inside. <br /><br />&hellip;&hellip;.<br /><br />It wasn&rsquo;t safe to remain in the town any longer. In an attempt to keep Saki from suspecting them, Raphael and Leonardo had to leave town and return the next day. When they returned, it had to be done where people could see them. They had to look like they had just arrived after a long journey if their plan was going to work. <br /><br />They had made a quick stop to collect the horse and cart from the tribe and headed out to stay at the farm that night. As Leo walked around, he could hear the echoes of his past. His mother&rsquo;s voice was a clear memory. He could still hear her humming to herself as he cooked supper.&nbsp;&nbsp;He could remember the smell and taste of those meals. There was nothing like them in this land. <br /><br />He remembered the layout of the house and as he stood at the edge of what was left he could picture it clearly. He would do his best to rebuild it as it was, though part of him doubted if he would be able to sleep in a room built in the same spot where his parents&rsquo; master bedroom once stood. It was where they were when they died. Maybe he wouldn&rsquo;t build on that part. That would all have to be figured out on a later date. <br /><br />&ldquo;Casey and I stayed here when we steal deeds,&rdquo; Raph stated out of the blue, sitting on the ground next to the barn. He rested his back against the old wood and looked up at the sky. &ldquo;Is strange to be back now.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I guess you can say that you&rsquo;ve come full circle,&rdquo; Leo said as he joined Raph. &ldquo;It kind of makes me think that all of this is fate.&rdquo;<br /><br />Raph nodded. &ldquo;Yes. Is all fate.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;When all of this is said and done, I will need someone to help me here on the farm,&rdquo; Leo said. &ldquo;We would go into town often to sell our goods and to buy what we can&rsquo;t produce so you would see Mikey and Don often.&rdquo; He watched Raph think the offer over. &ldquo;That is if you want to,&rdquo; Leo added, feeling a little unsure of himself. <br /><br />&ldquo;Sounds nice,&rdquo; Raph replied. &ldquo;I will do it.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Good,&rdquo; Leo smiled. Despite his best efforts, he found himself bonding with Raph, Mikey, and Don. He still feared losing them; he didn&rsquo;t think he would be able to handle it. But things were finally going in his favor. By this time tomorrow, he would be the lawful owner of the land. <br /><br />They lay in the shelter of what was left of the barn. There was a cooling breeze that kept them comfortable enough to get some sleep. When they woke, they were stiff and sore. They made sure that they looked like they had been traveling for a long time which wasn&rsquo;t hard to do. <br /><br />They made an early start since they had to be in town before noon. Leo sat in the driver&rsquo;s seat and led the horse as Raph sat in the cart. They rode in silence, both unsure with how it was all going to play out. Leo prayed to whatever gods existed, that it all worked out. Why fate them to all to come together if they were meant to fail?<br /><br />The town came into view and the nerves started to set in. What if this all went horribly wrong? It was too late to turn back now. And if he wanted his land he had to claim it today or Saki would get it. Leo could not let that happen. He just hoped that the county official wasn&rsquo;t against turtles and would believe Leo&rsquo;s story. <br /><br />&ldquo;We have to win,&rdquo; Raph mumbled as if he had read Leo&rsquo;s mind. <br /><br />When they drove into town, they got a few strange looks from the town&rsquo;s people. Leo knew that there were wanted posters posted throughout town. Leo feared that some of town&rsquo;s people might have recognized them. Hopefully, in a few hours, it wouldn&rsquo;t matter. <br /><br />It was time to put on the show. Pushing down his hate for Saki, Leonardo drove the cart to the Town Hall which doubled as the mayor&rsquo;s office. The plan was to make it look as if he had never been in the town before and that he had no idea that there was a turtle clan nearby. Raph had to fain memory loss. <br /><br />Leo hitched the horse to a post as Raph hopped down out of the cart. Together they entered the building and sought out anyone who could help them. It just so happened that there was a security guard nearby. &ldquo;You lost?&rdquo; the guard asked, eyeing the two of them suspiciously. <br /><br />&ldquo;I have come here for help,&rdquo; Leo replied, trying his best not to take offence to the guard&rsquo;s tone. &ldquo;I will need to see a county official for a legal matter over some land just outside of town. Who should I talk to so that I can send the request to have a county official come to town?&rdquo;<br /><br />The mad scratched his beard as he looked Leo over. &ldquo;County official is already here.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;What luck,&rdquo; Leo said with a smile. &ldquo;Where is he?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;In the courtroom,&rdquo; the man pointed. &ldquo;The meeting is open to the public so you can go on in.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Thank you,&rdquo; Leo nodded and turned to the set of large, ornate doors. His heart hammered in his chest. He knew that this could all blow up in his face but it was now or never. He had to try. <br /><br />As he opened the door he could hear someone who he assumed was the county official say, &ldquo;It is not yet noon, Mr. Oroku. You have to wait.&rdquo; The man was seated at the judge&rsquo;s table with a few other men, looking at his pocket watch. He looked up as Leonardo entered the room. &ldquo;Can we help you, lad?&rdquo;<br /><br />Saki abruptly stood, his glaring eyes fixed on Leo. &ldquo;What are you doing here? Are you turning yourself in?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Turning myself in?&rdquo; Leonardo asked, looking around the room. &ldquo;Are you referring to the wanted posters?&rdquo; Leo nodded and timidly approached. &ldquo;That is part of it. I would like to clear my name. I had not committed any crimes. It was Old Hob who was the criminal.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;You traveled with this Hob character,&rdquo; the county official stated. <br /><br />&ldquo;Yes,&rdquo; Leo nodded. &ldquo;He took me from my home when I was little.&rdquo; Now for the little lie they came up with to try to gain sympathy. &ldquo;He&hellip; fancied me.&rdquo; Leo turned his head and looked at the ground. &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t like talking about it.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;It&rsquo;s alright, lad,&rdquo; the county official said and signaled to a seat. &ldquo;Please be seated and tell us why you are here. My name is Harold O&rsquo;Brian and I am a legal official for all things within the county. I will be the judge in all things today and my final judgment will be law. These men will be witnesses. Do you understand?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Yes. Thank you,&rdquo; Leonardo said, trying to remain looking as meek as possible as he took a seat. He looked over at Saki. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s good to see you again Mr. Oroku.&rdquo; <br /><br />&ldquo;You know this young man, Mr. Oroku?&rdquo; the county official asked. <br /><br />&ldquo;He is the adopted son of the late Hamatos,&rdquo; Saki answered through gritted teeth and Leo had to fight the urge to smile. &ldquo;I met him once when I visited the Hamato farm. It was believed that he burned the house down and ran away. This is why there is a bounty on his head.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t kill my parents,&rdquo; Leo said, feigning disbelief. In all honesty Leo expected Saki to blame him for his parent&rsquo;s death. &ldquo;Old Hob tricked me and led me out of the house. He had set the fire and had stolen the deed and my parents&rsquo; will. He had planned on selling them to someone who would have passed as a distant relative. Before we got to his potential buyer, he was bitten by a snake. He confessed everything to me before he died. It took me years to find my way home again.&rdquo;<br /><br />Leonardo pulled the deed and will out of the satchel that he wore over his shoulder. &ldquo;I just hope I&rsquo;m not too late to lay claim to my parents&rsquo; farm.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I remember drawing up the will of the Hamatos.&rdquo; Mr. O&rsquo;Brian held out his hand. &ldquo;Let me see the documents you have. I will make sure they are valid.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Yes sir,&rdquo; Leo said, standing up to hand the papers over the long table that usually seated the whole town council, including Saki. There was something satisfying to seeing Saki on the powerless side of the table. He was subject to the laws of the county and had no power to overturn them. <br /><br />Mr. O&rsquo;Brian nodded his head. &ldquo;They are still sealed, this is good, and seals are mine.&rdquo; He broke the seals and opened the envelopes to pull out the documents. The room fell silent as O&rsquo;Brian read them over. <br /><br />Setting them on the table, O&rsquo;Brian pulled some supplies out of his bag. &ldquo;These are legal documents and, according to the will, you, young Hamato, are to inherit the farm and the lands that once belonged to your adoptive parents.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;There is no evidence that he is who he says he is,&rdquo; Saki said in protest. <br /><br />Mr. O&rsquo;Brian looked up at him and pointed at him with his pin. &ldquo;You said yourself, not five minutes ago, that he is who he claims to be. I believe that the witnesses here will concur. The land is his.&rdquo; He shifted his gaze to Leonardo. &ldquo;You came just in time for it too. One more hour and the land would have fallen into the possession of the county. Mr. Saki here was interested in buying the land.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh yeah,&rdquo; Leo said as if he had just remembered. &ldquo;That was why you came out to visit my mother. You were looking to buy the land. It was about a week before Old Hob burned down the house.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;What are you implying,&rdquo; Saki snapped and Mr. O&rsquo;Brian looked up at them.<br /><br />Leo&rsquo;s eyes went wide. &ldquo;I suspect that it was your visit that made Hob act when he did. He had been planning on taking the deed and killing my parents for a long time. From what I understand, you offered my parents a lot of money. I&rsquo;m sure he was afraid that my parents were thinking about selling. It would have ruined his plans.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Yes, I&rsquo;m sure that&rsquo;s it,&rdquo; Saki was quick to agree. Clearing his throat he approached Leo. &ldquo;I offer you the same. I will buy the land from you for a hansom sum of money.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;It is all that I have left of my parents,&rdquo; Leonardo stated, shaking his head. &ldquo;I cannot sell it.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;You cannot hope to farm it by yourself,&rdquo; Saki argued. <br /><br />&ldquo;But, I won&rsquo;t be,&rdquo; Leo replied and pointed over to where Raph was standing off to the side. Saki looked over at Raph and Leo swore that all of the color drained from the man&rsquo;s face. &ldquo;He will be helping me. I met him in my travels. He was wandering alone in the wild. He had suffered a great trauma. He has bullet scars in his plastron but he cannot remember what had happened. As a matter of fact, he cannot remember his life from before I found him. But between you and me,&rdquo; Leo whispered to Saki, &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t think he understands much. I want to make my farm a safe haven for turtles who had lost their tribes. I never really got the chance to know my own people. I want to help them any way I can.&rdquo;<br /><br />Mr. O&rsquo;Brian looked up from his work. &ldquo;It is my understanding that there is a tribe not too far from town. I believe they take in turtles who wander out this way.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Really?&rdquo; Leo perked up. &ldquo;My father never told me that there was a nearby tribe.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Maybe you can sell me your farm and go live with the tribe,&rdquo; Saki offered, jumping on the opportunity.<br /><br />Leo looked at him and shook his head. &ldquo;I would still like to keep my farm. Maybe I can work with the tribe or trade with them. Maybe they would be willing to help me build my flocks and get my farm started.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I won&rsquo;t allow it,&rdquo; Saki snapped before regaining his composure. &ldquo;I own the lands that the turtle tribe lives on. I own whatever they produce. I will not be granting free handouts. If you can pay for the supplies, then you can have them.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I understand,&rdquo; Leonardo replied. &ldquo;I will have to find another way then.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;That is unfortunate, Mr. Oroku,&rdquo; Mr. O&rsquo;Brian said as he placed the papers into new envelopes and sealed them, &ldquo;that you cannot find it in your heart to help this young lad out.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I am not in the business of charity,&rdquo; Saki replied, his voice smooth yet laced with anger. <br /><br />&ldquo;I am well aware of that,&rdquo; Mr. O&rsquo;Brian said. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m sure it will be remembered as you try to move up in your political standings.&rdquo; He held the deed out to Leonardo. &ldquo;I wish you the best of luck.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Thank you,&rdquo; Leo said as he accepted the deed. &ldquo;You have no idea how much this means to me.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I remember how much it meant to your parents.&rdquo; Mr. O&rsquo;Brian nodded to Leonardo. &ldquo;There is nothing more you need to do here. You are free to go and start tending to your lands.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Thank you again,&rdquo; Leo said with a slight bow as he backed away. He then turned and made his way out of the room and Raphael followed after. As he made his way out of the building, Leo saw Donatello enter. They passed in the entrance hall and it took all of Leo&rsquo;s will not to make any move that would indicate that they knew each other. Just a polite nod as they passed was all that they spared. Leo said a little prayer that Donatello&rsquo;s meeting went as well as his did. As much as he would have liked to be in the room with him to see Saki defeated, he knew it wasn&rsquo;t wise. <br /></span>",
