--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--TMNT:The final goodbye--

Yin's body felt heavey,heavier then ussual,as she staggered to her feet.Her shoulders ached,the pain in her body was unbearable for her to take any longer but she had no choice she had to move on.The world around her seemed a big blurr,a blurr of shapes,colors and figures,her eyes lazly feel onto the ground.Her mind was clouded with heavey thoughs,most of them pretaining to her life with her family and friends.Her hand rested on the wall of the sewer tunnel,her back fell along with it making the young turtle sink to her knees.

"I still can't believe I can stand."grinned Yin half heartidly.She was right,how could she stand,when all her life it seemed that the ones she loved with all her heart died or were hurt by her hands.Tears streamed down her face as she curled her knees to her chin,the burden became unbearable for the girl to take anymore.She wiped the hot tears from her cheek and stood back up,the journey had to contnui,even if it pained her to do.She had to see them,just one last time,if even for a second to make sure they were safe.She reached the entrance to her home,which had become her's for more then three years when the turtles had found her.She wondered in.

"Yin!?"came Mikey's childish voice as he spotted the female turtle first,he jumped from his place on the couch and hugged her around the waist,not wanting to let go.Yin felt his tears stain her unifrom,she smiled as she hugged her brother back."W-Where were you!?"cried Mikey,"W-We though you were dead!"He cried finally releasing Yin from his grip,though he keep a firm grip on her robe's sleeves,not wanting to loose her again.Yin's eyes saddened.

"I'm sorry,"she whispered,"but I just had to come to say good bye."

"Good bye?"asked Mikey,"Your joking right?Your not seriously leavin-"He stopped half way as he saw Yin's ussual serious exspression on her face,she was serious about this begin the final time she was gonna be with them.He felt tears begin to form in his eyes.Suddenly he felt Yin's hand rest on his shoulder,her angelic like face smiling down at him.

"Don't cry Mikey."she smiled.Mikey quickly wiped his tears away and tried to force a smile,but failed.How could he force a smile,Yin was leaving and might never come back.Yin took his hand in hers.

"Lets go find your brothers."she smiled,a little more sadder then ussual.Mikey lead Yin to where his siblings were,they entered Donnie's lab which had been made into a temporary hospital.Donnie was just finishing up patching up Raph's wounds as his eyes caught sight of Yin and Mikey."Yin?"he found his voice,his red clad sibling's head turned to the entrance as he too spotted Yin and Mikey.He immedently sprung from the exsame table and wrapped his arms around Yin's shoulders.Being physical was something Yin had never seen Rapheal do,besides an occasional playful punch to the arm or a pat on the back,never a hug.A hug was unRaph-like to her."Yo-Your alright."cames Rapheal's voice at last,he had also been worried about her.Yin wrapped her arms around his neck,she didn't want to let go,but knew better then to hold on."I-I just wanted to say good bye."she whispered.Rapheal pulled away.

"G-Good bye?"he asked,"Your joking right?Right?!"He questioned her as Yin shook her head no,that this wasn't a joke she really was leaving.For the first time since she had gotten to New York and meet the turtles she saw a tear in Rapheal's eyes,her immediant reaction was to wipe it away with her hand,like she did whenever Mikey was sad.Rapheal quickly grabbed her hand,holding it next to his face,his eyes where closed as he tried to keep Yin from leaving."You can't leave,"cried Donatello,"Your wounds,I gotta treat them."He blurtted,trying to find a way to make the female turtle stay longer.Yin smiled softly yo Donatello,pulling her hand away from Rapheal's cheek and placed a hand on his shoulder."I'm fine Donnie."she smiled to him.Donnie shook his head as he wrapped his arms around Yin's shoulders giving her a final tight squeeze.They finally pulled apart smiling one last time at her loving family before turning out to the door,unfortunaly she wasn't the only one to exit as Rapheal followed her.He grabbed her arm and pulled her into his arms,thier lips meet as Yin's arms wrapped around his neck and tears streamed down her eyes.They finally pulled apart."D-Do you have to go?"asked Rapheal whipping a tear from under Yin's eye,she nodded slowly.

"I-I wish I could stay."she whispered,"B-But I can't."

"T-Then its good bye,for reals?"he asked even though he knew the answer,Yin nodded yet again as she pulled herself out of Rapheal's grip.

"Good-bye Red."she smiled before dashing off.She didn't look back as she felt Rapheal's hands finally leave her own,if he had tears in his eyes she would never have know,but she had tears in hers.Suddenly she spotted a shade of blue by the door as she slowed down,standing in the doorway of the lair was Leonardo."Hey,"he smiled half heartidly,"I'll take it your leaving?"

"Yeah,"Yin smiled,"I-I really have no choice in the matter."

"I-I understand,"smiled Leonardo.Yin dashed towards her blue cladded brother as she gave him a squeeze around the neck,fresh tears fell yet again,Yin began to smile a little to herself.She wondered if she would run out of tears soon?Her and Leonardo's embrass finally ended,Yin quickly whipped a tear from her face and smiled up at Leonardo."You take care,"she grinned,"and watch the HotHead for me,'kay?"

"Will do."smiled Leonardo.Yin turned and dashed out the lair,turning to see Leonardo walk back in,probably to conmfirt his brothers more or less.Yin smiled as a bright light surronded her,two delicate white wings spreaded from her back as she turned towards the light.

'Ready to go my dear?' asked a mystriouse voice as a hand shrudded in light reached out towards Yin.She nodded as she took the hand into hers and stepped towards the figure."I'm done,"she smiled,"I hope they'll be okay."
