Stuck In Daydreams

• Chapter X - The Success •

"I-I don't know, Kitty... we'll figure something out. I promise.", I respond, feeling everything in me ache, wondering how we were going to get by if something happened to Mikey. I wish Dad would come already. And I pray on everything I love that Mikey will eventually be okay. I don't know what I will do if I lose one of my siblings again...

• Yoshi's POV •
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everything in me aches, as I wake up. I don't remember anything that happened. How long was I asleep? Are my children okay?

"Yoshi.", I hear the voice of my beloved wife say. I turn around, and see her standing there. Beside her, was my youngest, Michelangelo. "We have a problem."

"Tang Shen? Michelangelo?", Michelangelo runs up and hugs me, and I feel him shaking. I wrap my arms around him, looking around, wondering what he was doing here... if Tang Shen was here... wasn't this death? "Michelangelo, what happened?"

"I-I don't know. One moment I'm in the hospital with Donnie and Kitty, and then the next I tell them to get a nurse... then I'm here.", Tang Shen sighs as Michelangelo spoke, and showed me something horrible. It was showing me Michelangelo being taken into the ER, as they were trying to get him to breath again. Sofonisba was in Leonardo's arms, crying uncontrollably. Raphael must still be in his room, not knowing about this, because I didn't see him anywhere.

"Am...Am I dead?", Michelangelo asks, then looks at me. "Then what are you doing here?"

"I...Do not know...", Tang Shen then shows us another vision, of me. I was in our home, in my room, laying on my bed. There was blood on the floor. I had blood all over my chest. Was I dead?

"It's not to late for you, Michelangelo. You can go back. You can save Yoshi.", Tang Shen explains to Michelangelo. "If you get there soon, they can get him help and it may just save him."

"O-Of course. I won't let you down, Dad, I promise.", he tells me, with a bright smile. I smile back at him.

"I know, Michelangelo, be strong for me, my son.", I tell him. He nods, then right in front of me, my son disappears. I look at Tang Shen. "It isn't easy, being a single father of five teenage children."

"I can only imagine.", she walks over to me, and we embrace. "I missed you all so much, Yoshi. I'd do anything to be with you once more."

"We miss you as well, Tang Shen. Please, keep an eye on them...Make sure they don't get into any trouble.", I plead to her, knowing how important our sons were to the both of us, how much she loved them.

"You're a great father, Yoshi. These children are lucky. Don't let Saki win.", she tells me. I nod. "You have to pull through. Yes, it would be nice to have us together again, but they need you. Leonardo can only do so much. Raphael is falling apart and needs his father. Both Sofonisba and Donatello are in a low state of mind and both need the emotional reassurance and Michelangelo are still young, they need a father to watch after them."

"Tang Shen, you must tell me, what is Saki planning to do?", I ask. Maybe this is how we would win. By finding out what to do next and be one step ahead of the game.

"He's going after Donatello and Sofonisba next. He has people disguised throughout the hospital. The moment Leonardo leaves to go get Raphael and keep an eye on him, half of them are going after Donatello and Sofonisba while the other half makes sure Leonardo and Raphael don't get in the way.", she answers me. I feel my heart stop. That wasn't enough time. Leonardo would go to Raphael in a matter of minutes.
