Payback Peppered

Beaming, as though he were being rescued from his own castigation, the raven-haired genin turned his attentions back to the quivering mounds of red muscle, and once more raised the brush.

?Eleven,? Lee voiced as said number fell heavily into the rebel?s upturned ass, cracking into the red flesh with vehemence, an overwhelming blow which was swiftly followed by another, ?Twelve!? With a glance of conformation from his sensei, Lee nodded, and smacked the wooden oval down once more into the sore flesh, feeling the other youth arch into his thighs with the throbbing sting, ?Thirteen!?

With that, the hot-blooded genin smiled weakly, patting the raw, now shining scarlet orbs, and sighed with the weight of his relief, ?There now? we?re finished, Naruto-kun!?

[Hrtofdrkns]

The fox-whiskered boy's body shook with the force of his sobs, instinctivly trying to move his poor raw bottom away from the patting from Lee's hand. He gasped when he felt a larger hand touch the small of his back, only to relax slightly when Maito Gai began to gently rub his back.

Lee blinked wearily, raising up his arms above his head and into a stretch as he expelled a fatigued yawn, and he could not suppress the urge as he fell backwards, leaning against the sofa back, his toes flexing in his sandals as he did so, a hand in a drained manner rubbing at the scarlet heat that he had joined hands in creating. His sleepy daze divided itself between the sobbing blond and his teacher as he awaited the other to calm and settle, the weariness from his mission taking him by unbridled force, ?It?s okay, Naruto-kun??

[Hrtofdrkns]

After a few minutes Naruto's sobs were reduced to only an occasionaly whimper. Gai handed Lee a jar of the cream he would use to soothe him after a particularly hard punishment.

Lee took it gratefully, turning it in his hands before twisting the lid open. Having done so, the raven-haired youth delved in the tips of his digits, before reconsidering, and immersing them depth, coveting his fingers to his knuckles in the thick balm, and soon pressed out a hand to gently smooth them over Naruto’s crimson cheeks, glossing them to shimmering ruby gleam. His softened digits went about cooling each area of discomfort, moving from the central heat of each bubbled buttock to Naruto’s thighs, and then to the abused cleft, working with precision and care as not to rise any avoidable pain for the upturned fox-whiskered boy.

Naruto gasped again, then sighed softly. That felt really good! He slowly pushed his butt up to meet Lee's gently hand, moaning a little as he did so.

Nimble and lithe fingers proceeded to glide over Naruto?s red bubbled flesh, contentedly kneading the balm into places that radiated particular heat, before he scooped out the remains of cream in the jar, flushing at its emptiness before disregarding that unfortunate factor for a moment as he drew more cream from his glassed sides, and smoothed the ointment over the slightly younger genin?s rump, smiling at the tranquil aura that Naruto gave off in this experience.

[Hrtofdrkns]

"Ahh...ahhh..." Naruto moaned happily. He blinked away the last of his tears and wiped his face with his sleave. "Ne...that hurt..." He said, turning his head to gaze at Lee.

?Yosh,? Lee answered softly, smiled with equal gentleness down at the other boy as his other hand proceeded its work, ?Pepper gas and parchment bombs hurt, too, Naruto-kun,? Having noted the hot flinch which shuddered through the other youth?s frame, the raven-haired genin smiled disarmingly, ?But, I forgive you, and Gai-sensei forgives you??

[Hrtofdrkns]

"That's right, as long as you promise never to do it again." Gai warned.

Naruto gulped. "I...I promise."
