"Th-th-thank you, M-mikeal.... We're... we're s-s-sorry!"

Jake was crying softly, hugging Alice tighter than he was Mikeal. He felt alot better than he was supposed to after a session with the belt...

The two walked towards the door together - Jake held out his hand, relieved when Alice took it - and walked up to Aleksandr's study.

Aleksandr had watched the entire thing from his mirror. He'd have to compliment Mikeal on pushing harder than he would have - Janus appeared to have felt this particular punishment far more than he had Aleksandr's - and it was thanks to Mikeal. As the children walked up to his study, the elder dismissed his mirror, and waited until he heard them knocking - the door swung open.

"Come in, you two."

Alice didn't wait another second. she quickly let go of Janus' hand and ran up to Aleks, flung her arms around his neck and sobbed.

"I'm so sorry Aleks!" she cried a new into his shoulder. "I didn't mean it, any of it!"

Mikeal placed a hand on Janus' shoulder and smiled.

"Give them a moment." He squeezed his shoulder in a reasuring way.

**Peeker** · May 25th, 2007, 12:55 AM

Jake nodded, and softly held Mikeal's hand with his own.

"Well! That's someone I've been missing all morning!" Alek smiled, and scooped the girl up into a tight hug. "I know - you were very angry... and you were well-punished for it. You know it, Alice: you are in my house, you are forgiven, and you are loved, hm?"

He rubbed her back softly. "I was really proud of you, Alice. You took your punishment well.... I'm... I'm glad you didn't mean it. I would have been very, very sad if you did." He hugged her again. "If you want, you can go rinse your mouth out, hm?" He smiled, and put her down, softly.

**Kira_Wolf_Cub** · May 25th, 2007, 01:02 AM

Alice nodded meekly as Mikeal hit himself in the head.

"I knew I forgot something," He groaned and looked appologeticly at Janus. "You can wash out as well Janus. Sorry about that."

"I'll show him where..." she inched out of Aleks's hold reluctantly and took Janus' hand. "we'll... be right back..."

Mikeal smiled as they left.

"Reminds me of Gabby and me..." He smiled and then looked at Aleks. "I wonder how she'll react when she see the pup... oh dear!"

Mikeal ran out the study. He had forgotten the puppy was alone in Alice's room and it was teething.

**Peeker** · May 25th, 2007, 01:05 AM

Aleksandr laughed, happy there wasn't anything of particular value in Alice's room.. .except for Lucy's dresses, of course....

"...it would be just our luck, too..." Aleksandr got up and jogged after Mikeal.

Janus and Alice, meanwhile, were talking and spitting out soap, relieved that they were done with their punishment.

"Y-you were really tough... that was your first belting, right?" Janus asked with a little smile.

After two spankings with the girl, he wasn't feeling quite as embarrassed to be next to her. ...not red bottomed, at least...

**Kira_Wolf_Cub** · May 25th, 2007, 01:15 AM

"Ye-yeah," Alice admitted and looked at him. "You mean that?"

....

Mikeal ran into the room and found the puppy had gotten into the closet and dragged everything out. It was sitting in the middle of the mess chewing happily on a pair of Alice's old sneakers, the 'secret' tape laying not to far away from it,

"You may want to guard your shoes Aleks. He seems to like leather..." he said as the pup noticed them and got up. It wagged it's tail happily and ran over to Aleks barking. "I know he seems hyper but I assure you, he was the calmest one..."

The pup barked hyperly at Aleks before it tried to chew on his shoes.

**Peeker** · May 25th, 2007, 01:26 AM

Janus nodded. "For a first time? Yeah..."

Alek sighed, and picked the little devil up by the scruff of its neck. "Really? Well, I can't imagine what the rest of your litter looks like."

The little monster growled happily, trying to nip at Alek. "I think we'll need to give you to Alice, hm?"

The two started walking towards the bathroom - Mikeal followed. "I must say, Mikeal, blood calls to blood. I'm very impressed with how you handled Janus. That's a sore spot I wouldn't have risked... I suppose you've been there, however. You understand it..." Alek nodded. "Thank you. I... I have this urge to... to subvert young Janus.. it seems like we are of one mind about it."

**Kira_Wolf_Cub** · May 25th, 2007, 01:35 AM

Mikeal smiled at Aleks and nodded his head.

"Thank, Lord Rastline. I know how he works a little. He's curl up inside himself to protect himself," Mikeal sighed. "By using his real name it helps remind him that he's still himself. Just don't use it in front of Razziel. He'll be enraged."

As they neared the bathroom, Alice had stepped out followed by Janus.
"Thanks for holding my hand through it Janus," She said looking at the follow. "I'm sorry about what I said to you..." she looked up ad saw the puppy in Aleks' hand. "Oh MY god! A puppy!"

She ran up and quickly pulled the puppy into a hug, cooing over it.

"Girls aye Aleks?" Mikeal grinned.

**Peeker** · May 25th, 2007, 01:44 AM

"Aleksandr, Mikeal. Unless you'd have me call you Lord Dornell. Tis been a good thirty years, friend. No need to bow to me any longer."

"Its... 'sokay!" Janus assured.

Even Janus laughed in surprise and bent over the little animal for a moment.

"Aye, and boys too, Mikeal."

Jake smiled sheepishly, and looked up at Aleksandr. "...m'lord?"

"Yes, boy?"

Jake smiled. "I... I'm sorry, sir. Just... Sorry."

"Aye. ...and again, you are welcomed in my house - all is forgiven, J-" The man stopped, and smiled down at the boy. "...what would you have me call you, child of the House Dornell?"

Jake blushed. "I suppose you'll have to call me Janus soon, m'lord. ...but I'd like to think you might someday call me Janus Bell...." He smiled gently at the man, and bowed his head a little.

Aleksandr smiled, and ruffled his hair. "Aye, Janus. That I will."

The two turned to Alice, watching her and her puppy with the same protective grin on their faces.

**Kira_Wolf_Cub** · May 25th, 2007, 01:50 AM

"It's a boy Alice," Mikeal explained. "Male Hellhound bond best with girls, I don't know why, but they do. He is house broken, so that shouldn't be a problem as long as you don't lock him in a room. As for obedience...." He placed a hand on on her head. "that's your job."

"Thank you Mikeal!" Alice gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and rubbed noses with the puppy. "Klonoa! That's be his name."

She set him down and watched him run about.

"He's really hyper though..." She stiffled a laugh as Klonoa, Klo for short, hoped over and started to chew on Aleks' shoes again. "Looks like he has your taste for shoes."
