I appreciated all your rants from your last chapter reply. ^_^ Especially the one about the inconsistency of Leo just falling off the grid, as if he had no directions from Splinter, and that his family was so quick to blame him for staying away - especially Raph - instead of thinking maybe perhaps something happened to Leo. But then, Master Splinter's supposed to be all mind connected to them, so maybe he knew that Leo was still safe, just not anywhere near home. Who knows.

I like how you described April as 'a magnet for trouble' because it is so true. And how Leo still has the innate desire to protect those he cares about, even though he's amnesic boy right now. And that Leo appreciates her presence, even though it causes him a lot of trouble. And that his sense of duty towards his family hasn't been lost.

I also liked how you included the 'no rest for the wicked' line in the section where Leo makes sure the villages will be safe for as long as possible when he goes to leave. He did something horrible, but he did it for a good reason. However, he needs to continue following his own sense of duty, the one he feels is with April, for his actions in the jungle to mean something, to be something more than mass murder.

Aw, poor Leo, tossed around in a little plane, haha. Clever Leo, also, wedging himself in the crate and replacing the boards with his bandana. It's going to be interesting to see what he ends up doing when the crate is opened. Hopefully April will be there to save his butt - oo, maybe she will and then it'll be like paying him back for watching out for her in the jungle and Leo will have another sort of vague memory of watching one another's backs and then just get more confused until someone pulls out the old trick of giving someone a second head injury to reverse the first. xD Sorry, it's 2 am and I'm not very articulate at the moment.

So, anyway, sorry this reply has taken so long since the chapter was initially posted! Can't wait for the next installment!

So, that was really April he was following around. I am so getting confused on why he can't remember everything. Does he have amnesia or what?

I have to tell you, the no talking thing is starting to creep me out much. This is like reading a mute story yet there's action it as well. How frustrating. Sorry, it's just me.

Poor Leo. :(

Cool Story!

Can't wait for more!

XD

Don't worry, last semester was total killer for me too (which is why it's taken me so long to review... sorry about that)

Very, very interesting. I'm guessing that this new woman is April? Sounds like her. I like how Leo was drawn to the family scenes. That part, especially, was very well done. Great job and I look eagerly forwards to the next chapter!

It's not entirely cheating - the way you've used Leo's amnesia in this story is completely different. This is involuntary amnesia, I guess XD

This is going to be one of those stories where things get even more confusing before they make sense, right? Sigh... Should have seen it coming, haha. No, but for real, it's awesome.

I like this take on how Leo became the Ghost of the Jungle. Like, it's a fairly significant part of the 07-verse, but it's never really explored in depth like this. We all usually just assume that Leo arrived in South America, still beating himself up for being a failure because that's what Leo does, and then decided to help out the victimized villages. That's basically what he's done here, minus the self-deprecation, but it also sheds some light on why Leo didn't come home, other than that he wasn't satisfied with himself (which, let's be honest, is more than enough reason for Leo. xD )

Random woman! April?! Yes, no, maybe? I'm leaning towards April, mostly because of the copper hair line. And the fact that in your past writings, you haven't introduced original characters, so I'm just going to assume you're going to keep doing that. I'm probably horribly wrong and you're sitting there laughing, going, "Foolish mortal! How silly of you to assume you know anything about my wonderful writings! Hahaha!" But it is interesting that Leo finds her a threat - especially if it is April. It's like he's subconsciously ashamed that April has to see him like this, as - he believes - a failure.

Can't wait for more! (It feels good to review again, even. I'm excited. :D
<3

Very interesting! It was a little slow at first. But if the woman is who I think she is, things are about to get even more interesting.

More soon, please!

Okay...so, who is this woman? I hope you can update soon. ^_^

Okay okay. So April makes her way into the picture. Now I have to wonder if the next chapter is going to switch POV or if Leo has this story all to himself. I'm really enjoying it so far. Great job! If I smile pretty do we get the next chapter sooner?

You do love taking away Leo's memory, don't you? heh

Who on earth is this mysterious woman? She sounds so much like April...

This is extremely well written, and such fun to read, as are all your fics.

I hope college will allow you to update SOON! :)

Rejoicing in the day,

Hi, it's been a while, hasn't it? How've you been?
Looks like a great new story. I like the style of it, it has a nice rhythm. Yes, messing with Leo's head is a lot of fun ^.^
Great job and I look eagerly forwards to reading more soon!

I can't wait to see where you take this story. It is an original idea and it hooked me right away.

Ha, yeah, you definitely do like messing with Leo's head. It's pretty easy to do though, and fun, so I understand. :D

Crap, I keep forgetting is limiting my responses now... It's probably my fault, too, from all the epically long reviews I've left you. Haha, I broke ... Anyway. Proper review time now.

I really like how you're writing Leo's amnesia. Like, 'Absence' had a lot of amnesia!Leo too, but this is completely different, which is a good thing, you've kept variety up. I really like how the (parentheses) thing works, it's like Leo's reminding himself what all these things he's coming across are called.

And of course Leo would be the protector, memory or no. That's just part of his genetic makeup, man, there's no getting out of that, haha.

Can't wait to see where this one goes! Glad I don't have to beg for it to be more than a one-shot. =]

Well, you've certainly piqued my interest. I'm curious to see what will happen to Leo next, and why he's in this state of mind. Your last fic, Absence, was such an enjoyable read; it's good to see that you're going to keep writing in this fandom.
I look forward to your next update :)

Hm, this is an interesting style of writing. Almost from a different perspective even... It's cool I like it, can't wait for more! ^_^
