Inuyasha: Mortal Kombatant, Hidden Leaf Child.

[cyber27]

Inuyasha flinched and winced with every stroke but didn't kick Or squirm to break free, feeling the pain from the whipping from the night before reignite to begin blazing like a raging fire and doing his level best not to reach back to cover as tears streamed down as his body racked with sobs. He knew that his inability to plea wouldn't escape notice much longer if at all. He figured that the habit would surprise....... It was something that he learned as a very young child years before. You Don't Let Your Enemies Break You! Even though he knew that this was a different situation all together. Especially since his mother doubted his maturity level for being 14. Spending 12 out of those years around adults gave him little to no chance or time for childhood immaturity. He grew up a little too fast. He knew that the birching would continue until his mother saw fit. He doubted that she noticed or saw the guilt and increasing shame that was showing in his tearful eyes and tear-stained face.

Tsunade had been thrashing InuYasha for 6 minutes now, and her arm was still strong. But she was moved by the boy's tears, and his steadfast restraint from yelling, screaming, kicking of feet and flailing of arms that had usuall shown a boy's reaction to a thrashing. Tsunade decided that she should have birched her boy as soon as he gotten home instead of waiting until the next day; her anger and desire to whip the boy had cooled over night. She was so happy at Inu's return that she went to his room while Naruto and her son were asleep, just to make sure InuYashas's return was not a dream, that her son had really returned home. His mother doubted that she would be able to burch Inu for the whole time. She was giving him a thotough whipping, but her heart was not in it. She began to believe that Kagone's thrashing of her "crush"," as well as his diapering of the boy was sufficient punishment was enough. Besides, InuYasha's tears, and his refusal to scream and yell, kick his feet and flail his arms, which characterized the actions of so many boys while they were being whipped, even those of 15 or 16 years old. Tsunade was birching her son first to deter any further runing away of Inu, and second because she had said she would.

Meanwhile Kagome agreed with Tsunade, that her own belting of the boy was sufficient physical punishment. That in company of his diapering, Kogame believed his mother's diapering of his friens was sufficien to teach Inu a lesson.

Not so Naruto. He had risked his life in his search for Inu, and before that he had worried deeply about where Inu was and was, like the others, concerned for his safety.
When Naruto had found Inu on that unpleasant night, risking his life to rescue his "little brother" Naruto almost thrashed Inu on the spot, but he decided to get the younger boy back to his mother
The older boy had seen the Tsunade'd heart was not in what she was doing, and was approaching the end of the punishment of Inu, so he took of his belt and wound it around his fist. Naruto believed that no matter how well his friend knew martial arts, no matter how much available daemon power Inu had, he was still too young to be sent on such a dangerous mission, no matter who sent him. Naruto had thought that Inu was in the realm of the evil ruler Khan, and how easily his little friend could be captured and brought before him, having found out, maybe knowing first hand, that InuYasha was a soldier for the true Princess and her deposed royal family; maybe Khan was cognizant that Inu was an agent for the Prinvess. Naruto wondered what kind of horrible torture, or even death, this "soulles monster" would impose on Inu, just a kid.

When Tsunade was through with InuYasha's thrashing and stood him naked to face the wall, hands on head to prevent rubbing, Naruto approched Tsunade asked Tsunade if she would allow him to punish the boy himself with the belt. Inu's mother agreed, rather tired--maybe of the whole thing--but asked if the older boy would wait 20 minutes before his belting of the younger boy, so that Inu could rest, as much as he would able to, from the thrashing of his mother. In the meantime Tsunade invited Naruto to sit at the counter and have a bite to eat. Naruto was grateful and when the food was presented to him he fell to humgrily. "There's plenty of food, Naruto, so you can have as much as you want."

"Thank you, ma'am," Naruto responded, and continued to enjoy his repast.

Inuyasha gulped and began to sweat at the thought of being belt-whipped again and by his Big Brother Best Friend Forever......... Naruto had his own access to inhuman strength and wasn't afraid to tap into it in order to keep him on the straight and narrow. He figured that he'd be left alone to his corner time. He knew that he might get asked Why he gave Naruto a "hard time" the night before Or why he acted like so many boys despite his reasoning being different. He was trying his level best to keep still, but shuffling his feet due to his aching bottom. He was also nervous at Where the fox's lesson would be doled out. He was surprised that his best friend, big brother.... had decided to dragged him home to his mother when he could've just as easily taken him back to his own apartment for the night and taught him a lesson there before returning him to her. The second option was that it could've been done while they were in his bedroom. It had taken some time before Anyone had managed to break through the carefully constructed rock-solid defenses that he had built up growing up....... The one who made the largest breakthrough and gotten through to him Was In Fact Naruto. He was beyond quiet during the allotted time, facing the wall. He nervously awaited his punishment's next phase. 'Aw man....... I'll Never sit again......No telling how long Or where Naruto'll tan my hide!' He thought.

"I'm not just your friend, Inu I'm also like your big brothe! And it's the obligation of big brothers to punish their little brothers when theyve mis behave

Again Naruto had a reasonable answre. 'it is true that i'm pretty nuch independent, and don't have to worry about my buns being toasted like yo do!" Naruto continued th situate the youn nan ove his knee, "But you! You're a lot less mature thah i am. You run away from home you worry your mom, Kagome, and me, until I had finally had enough and looked for you, under life and limb! We both could have been "sucked in by your soulless monster"--whom you say is Khan, a dictator who had deposed the royal family and drove them over to this world! And, on top of everything, you said you FOUGHT with the princess against Khan! Inu! You're too young to fight, certainly against a ruthless dictator like Khan! I insist that you leave "other worldly" stuff to other worlds. When you're a couple of years older than me, when you gain access to your daemonic powers and learned to control them, when you've studied and trained more of the art of war and the martial arts, THEN you'll be ready ! But now you're just a kid! your place is here, with Tsunade amd Kagome, and I'm not far away from here! We can alwasys hang out! But now--now it's time for a good belting from big brother!"


Naruto was adament as he unwound his flexible but strong leather belt, and spoke one more time to Inu. "Your butt SHOULD hurt==and hurt for several days! Now, no more delays.

Naruto took out his belt and--WHAP!, leaving a red mark on Inu's brother. This lash was followed by many others--CRRRRACK!. . . . THWAAAAACK!. . . . WHOP!. . . . SNAP!. . . .

The older boy did not find his task easy, but he took hold of the boy's hair to keep him in place, and continued whipping Inu, his little brother, just as hard as he could--and that was HARD! No daenomic power could overcome Naruto's anger. The fox was fighting the dog, successfully.

THWAAAAAACK!. . . . CRAAAAACK!. . . . SMACK!. . . . CRRRRRACK!. . . . WHOP!. . . .

And so it continued for some time. Kagome watched entranced with Naruto's strenth, and Kagome stood by the goor of the kitchen. Both Tsunade and Kagome approved of the WHOPS! Inu got from from Narutos's sturdy belt. It went on for soe time.

"Ow-ow-ow-ow-ow!!!!! WAAH!!! Naruto, Please! Big Brother, I'M SORRY for running away!!!!!!" Inuyasha howled in remorse and pain as he cried out. Unlike other times he had been spanked, tears streaming.......... His resolve not to flail and kick failed as with every-time leather and skin met. He involuntarily kicked his legs and flailed his arms. Those walls that had stood to safeguard his heart and emotions for so long...... Crumbled into dust. He looked to the ladies for aid but was blinded by his tears. He even struggled to get away, something that he wasn't known for outside of combat. It was obvious that Naruto had struck a nerve and a chord emotionally with his words. He looked like a boy of four years old and Not fourteen years old being punished by his older brother. It took time before He went limp, crying. His body wracking with uncontrollable sobs. He doubted those around him realized that he learned to lock up his feelings. It wasn't done by training but by example in his early puppyhood years, watching the older fighters. Inuyasha sensed that it wasn't Just Naruto punishing him but the nine-tailed fox within. He knew from experience it would be A good while before either Naruto's anger subsided Or he was considered punished enough. He was planning to hide out, taking refuge in his bedroom despite what his mother had said about going out to play in his old sandbox over the next couple of days.

Naruto went on and on with his belt; but he was aprofessional. He knew when to draw blood, and when not to, and even though he was belting InuYasha as hard as he could, he didn't draw a speck of blood. His intention was not to bludgeon his brother because Inu had simply made him mad. It's true, Naruto was angry at his young companion for making everyone worry, for causing Naruto to search for him under difficult conditions; but it seemed to Naruto that Inu was either not telling the whole truth, or was lying outright: the answer his little brother had given him to each question seemed to conflict, either with what he said before or later. Naruto was a good listener, and he was intelligent, and he knew when he was being told contradictory sentences, truths that he made, in each answer he gave, that overshadowed other, just as important, truths--which Naruto was certain that InuYasha was trying to conceal not because the youthful daemon thought they were unimportant, but because if they were fully revealed it would mean his butt--more than now. Naruto knew of the almost mystical art of making lies sound like the truth--knew it well, knew how effective it was in any kind of negotiation, even, somehow, mysteriously in the art of war, and he could hear Inu using that enticing, comforting "logic" on him. But Naruto--thought--he could see through it. Also Naruto suspected Inuyasha was lying to him outright, but this time not to save his own hide but to protect someone, maybe his Princess--whom he was sure Kagome would be unhappy with, her love being this princess' "knight in shining armor"; but Inu's brother that was but a small part of this protection of the princess. Also, Naruto thought, not losing sight of the task at hand--whipping the "daylights" out of InuYasha, but never to the point of blood--was Inu somehow protecting his master--this man somehow elevated to godhead. Naruto did not like this, and Tsunade would be furious!

Well, all these matters irked Naruto all the more, as did this in-the-clouds, mystic, magic language his younger brother often used. He decided to get some answers out of his crying squirming brother. Naruto's arm, of course, was not getting tired, but InuYasha's kicking feet and flailing arms--and his yells, pleas, and screams, iritated him. So Naruto took the naked youth's right arm and twisted it behind his back, and put his own leg in the crook of Inu' and elevated the boy's bottom. He stopped whipping his young brother for just a moment, just long enough to ask Inu a couple of important questions. He was diplomatic enough not to mention the princess in front of Kagome. He would demand answers about her, and about fighting at her side when they were alone but he did ask two questions:

"OK, Inu, i'm giving you a couple of minutes' rest for tou from your tanning--but we're NOT done here yet! I've got two questions for you. First, if your teacher is a god, by what name is he known and worshipped? Does he have a "church"--a cult? Are you a member of it? Do you worship him like other guys worship What may be a Greater God? And second, wht the hell did this "god" send you, a kid! a pup! on such a dangerous mission? Speak loud enough for your mama and Kogane to hear: WHY--the truth, in plain language--WHY did he send you into the realm of this soulless monster, who would as soon kill you as look at you! IF you tell the truth, your licking won't last quite as lomg. But if you try to hide the truth using fancy language, or if you're LYING, then I'll roast your rump a whole lot longer! We all want answers, InuYasha, NOW!" He waited for Inu to steady his voice. But Naruto kept him in his humiliating position.

[cyber27]

"I Already Told You: Raiden; God Of Thunder, how many times do I need to say It! I Saw Him As My Teacher!!! I know that he was regarded by those who once oversaw Mortal Kombat which was originally a way to achieve balance between all realms....... There was a temple-order for Shaolin, One of the Others grew up in it...... Not Even Close, It Was Destroyed and he's it's Sole Survivor! There Are those on a higher level and plain........ Because Two of my comrades Would've Been Wasted!!!! I Can Infiltrate like No one can And my powers made it necessary....... They Asked for volunteers, But stealth Was Needed and I was Suggested along with another who was trained as a ninja in a different land!!!!! They're still getting use to me Not Being among them!!!!!! And I Am Not Lying, Not Once And If I concealed it was because Not everyone's Ready to Hear About it!!!!!!!! Despite What You Think I Was Trying To Protect You All!!!!" Inuyasha said, nearly screaming it. He knew that his rear would be bruised by the time he was allowed up or so he thought. It was obvious that his honesty and sense of honor being questioned was cutting deep and hurting him greatly, worse than the licking that he was getting. He was looking forward to making a mad dash to his room and locking himself inside breaking all human contact. He figured that no one would touch and leave him alone once he was allowed back upon his feet.

[charles wilbourn]

"Finally!" Naruyo said, "In plain language! I get it now, Inu. Only you could have rescued your friends, which is wy your teacher-god called on you to do it. . . . That you are gifted with stealth, whidh enabled yo to do it. . . . That your god's name is raiden. . . . That the world isn't ready for you or your ability. . . . .That you hid the truth from us to protecy us. . . . OK, Inu, I believe you.

"Tsunade, do you believe him?"

InuYasha's mom sad clearly, "I do!"

Then nurato aked Inu's love. "Do you believe him, Kogane?" The schoolgirl answered, firmly, "Yrs, I do!" Kagome ooked sympathetically at Naruto. She knew Naruto did not enjoy thtashing his "little brother, especially as he was yhorougly as he was doing. At the same time she kooked at Inu, and though she had herself whippedher love but that was for running away , for being gomr so lomg,, and e=worrying his prople to illmes, for Naruto rescuing his broyher ayt nearly hos own life. for worshipping and obey img ogod she did nit noy know who Inu losixg lpsing sitght of Another, Greater God wh may had MAY have have had other plans for Inu, in this world. Neverthe les, Kagome trusted, and believed, her loves explanston.

Though Nauto also believed Inu, who had LAST spoken in the wurds of ordinary guys, was not happy at Inu's out loud, seemingly defiant langude during his esponse, But Nruto decided to ignore inu's outburst, especially his staement that he did not like having his integriy assailed. so, for five mintes more, Baruto again whipped his brother as he could, the sensitive "sit spoy" of Inu, the sensitine place between the very upperleg and lower but of Inu, the area sarcastically caled "the bottom line," or les commonly name as "the crease." Because Naruto had direct access to this part of his brother's sit spot, he paid special attention to this. Still, Naruto's hiding of Inu lasted only five miutes more, and then it was over, and Naruto released Inu, to whatever was to follow.

[cyber27]

Inuyasha soon stood there sobbing quietly for a few seconds before turning around and making a break for his room, slamming the door shut. He transformed into his beast form which was a young dog, an akita and hid under his bed for a good cry. He knew what his mother wanted but didn't care at the moment. He didn't know who would follow but that his past resistance to react like a normal person during punishment would be questioned.

[charles wilbourn]

After a bout an hour of leaving him alone, Tsunade was determined that her boy would face the rest of his punishment of playing in the old andbox, clothed only in his diaper; and she decided to belt him for the next two nights in the nude. So Tsunade, Naruto and Kagome came to the locked room and Tsunade ordered the boy out. Naruto said he would simply break down the door if he did not. Kagome was there because of her semi-mystical control of dogs--even daemon humans in dog shape, and when necessary would merely command Inu to resume his humanity--and she was usually successful. All three knew that Inu was a doggie; they could hear him howling piteously through the door. Kagome was also present because of the love she had for Inu, both boy and dog; and both of them derived great pleasure when Kagome walked Inu along the beach, collar and leash. Inu received a similar feeling when Naruto took him for walks. Tsunade, however, thought of Inu as her boy, and always they accompanied them human. So Kagome, at first gently and then commanded Inu: "Boy! Shape!" Because they knew Inu was now human but refused to open the door, Naruto used a mystic power from the East--not magic but an Earthly, technical procedure carried out by the mind to the hands and fingers--to open the door by neither breaking the door and the lock. All three of them entered the boy's room, ready to drag him outside with his animal--assuming power in check by Kagome and her "way" with pups, this one in particular.
