18 Returning Home (1/2)

”Master Roshi... I have a question” I asked, as I woke up in the middle of the night.

”What is it Tomant?” Roshi asked back.

”Why are we returning home? Didn't we just become turtle school disciples?” I asked.

”Well, that's simple... I need to get your adoptive parents permission for you to come here to train for the next couple of years” Roshi answered.

”Okay... that actually makes a lot of sense...” I said, as I went back to bed.

I awoke, to the sound of Lettu's excited laughing.

He's been a lot more emotive ever since he came here, he must have finally gotten over our parents' deaths.

”Brother! We're going back to mom and dads!” Lettu said with an excited grin.

Wait, this isn't like the usual him...

”Don't you mean adoptive mom and dad?” I asked.

”What do you mean? They're our birth parents!” Lettu said with a maniacal grin.

'Oh fuck... he didn't get over their deaths, he just made up a whole new life...' I thought worriedly.

”Are you... okay Lettu?” I asked, worried about his mental health.
