Xover (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles/Usagi Yojimbo): Rainy Day Friends by GoblinCatKC
Rainy Day Friends (Leonardo/Usagi | PG13 | 22,304 words | sequel is Clouds Clearing Away): Someone is after Usagi, and Leonardo is drawn into the strange plot. GolbinCatKC understands Leo so well--his wants and desires, his strength and his honor--that it's a delight to read this story.
Excerpt:
"Again, I must apologize," Usagi said softly, laying still and watching the candlelight play on the ceiling. "I did not intend for you to be dragged from your home."
"I never regret fighting by your side," Leonardo said. "When you've rested, you can tell me who those ninja were and why they were after you."
"Aren't you going to sleep as well? I doubt they followed us here."
Leonardo wasn't worried about them so much as he was about that dark gate and their unseen would-be benefactor, but he didn't want to worry his friend. "Better not to take that chance. I'll be all right."
Usagi fell asleep before he could argue. Leonardo watched him for a few minutes, then reached around for his communicator. Suspecting it wouldn't work, he flipped it on anyway and saw nothing but static. There was no way to let his brothers know what had happened. Even though he knew the symbols for a gate, he could never remember the chant, and even if he did, he couldn't leave Usagi behind.
