Leonardo had been searching for his bandana for hours. He had searched the entire hideout, his room, the hideout, the dojo, and with each empty spot he left behind, his frustration grew. He thought of Raphael and Mikey, convinced that perhaps one of them had decided to play a prank on him, but neither of his brothers seemed to have any idea of his whereabouts. Annoyed and discouraged, he decided to go out on patrol alone, hoping to clear his mind.
Standing on the roof of a building, he looked out at the city under the night and felt the lack of his bandana, symbol of his identity and responsibility as a leader, weigh on him more than he had expected. In frustration, he kicked an air duct, breaking it with a loud thud. His breathing became heavy, and he found himself clenching his fists. His eyes became moist, and tears began to run down his face. It was as if all the built-up pressure, the weight of his role as leader and older brother, had found an outlet at that moment.
He heard the sound of light footsteps behind him. Before he could react, his enemy, a female Foot Clan ninja who had faced him countless times, silently appeared. But instead of attacking him, she took him by surprise by pulling him towards her and kissing him. Leonardo reciprocated, albeit clumsily, to that kiss that became more passionate, feeling his own breathing hitch as she entwined her arms around his neck. Leonardo placed his large hands with three fingers on her waist, his fingers brushing her figure without realizing it, until he realized what he was doing. Surprised by his own actions, he pushed her roughly, backing away.
He unsheathed his katanas, ready to face her. But as soon as his eyes scanned her waist, Leonardo was shocked: there, surrounding her like a trophy, was her blue bandana. He recognized her instantly.
"You...?" he whispered, with a mix of disbelief and fury. "Give it back to me, now." he demanded, still staring at her intensely. "I don't know what you're trying to do, but it won't work."
