Chapter 7: Punishment #2

Shippo was waiting nervously in one of the bedrooms in Kaede's hut now. His butt still stung a LOT from the spanking he had received earlier and now he couldn't even sit down without feeling a jolt of pain.

Currently, Kagome was talking with Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha over what had happened the past day and she didn't sound very happy about it. The way things were going, it looked like she would scold him... of course, a scolding wouldn't be anything compared to the beating he had received earlier. He sighed a bit and paced around the room, hearing little snips of the conversation here and there like, "... little brat... had to spank him... why... eel... punch in the crotch... stink..." It was all pretty muddled since they were all voicing their complaints at once.

After what seemed like an eternity, the talking stopped and Shippo could clearly hear three sets of feet exiting the hut and a fourth pair heading towards the door to the room he was currently in rather briskly. He quickly sat down, though it hurt to do so and put on his best 'I'm too cute to scold' look. There was a small click and squeak as the door was opened and there stood Kagome, looking very annoyed. He frowned a bit when he saw the wooden spoon she held. "Um... Hi, Kagome." he said.

Kagome sighed and walked over, sitting beside him, looking directly at him. "Hello, Shippo. Inuyasha and the others told me what happened and I must say I am very disappointed in how you behaved like that. And Inuyasha is mad at me because I was the one who left the gag kit here in the first place, even if it wasn't by accident."

Shippo winced. "I'm sorry..." he whispered a bit, staring down at the floor. He hadn't meant to get her in trouble.

Kagome shook her head. "I know you didn't mean to... but Sango told me that she had to go as far as spanking you for this, right?"

Shippo nodded and rubbed his butt a bit. "It hurt, Kagome!" He whined, hoping to earn sympathy points with her.

Kagome shook her head. "Shippo, listen to me. From what I hear you did, you deserved every smack she gave you and since I feel responsible for what happened and it was partly my fault, I'm going to take charge of this and make sure that it doesn't happen again. First off, I'm going to have to stop putting things that aren't essential into my backpack to make sure that something like this doesn't happen again. This includes gifts for a while."

Shippo wanted to protest, but he nodded, knowing that if he found anything like that gag kit in her backpack again, he would probably end up repeating history. "Alright..."

Kagome nodded. "And I'm also going to make sure that you've learned your lesson. I don't think it had much of an impression coming from Sango, so I'm going to spank you again and hope it leaves a bit more of an impression on you."

Shippo jumped up and ran to the corner. "NO! Not again, no, no, no!"

Kagome shook her head and sighed heavily, reaching over to him and pulling him over to her easily, setting him over her lap. "Shippo, please, I don't want this to be harder than it has to be, this hurts me too. I honestly never thought I'd ever have to discipline you in this manner."

Shippo squirmed harder, but Kagome was stronger than the young demon and he gave a small squeak as he felt his pants being pulled down to his knees. "W-what!" he shouted, unsure of what was happening.

Kagome frowned lightly. "Oh, I guess Sango spanked you with your clothes on... this one is going to be on your bare bottom."

Shippo yelped and tried to squirm away again, but his efforts were stopped dead as he felt the wooden spoon smack into his arse. He gave a loud yelp and whimpered gently. "Kagome, please no!"

Kagome shook her head, determined to be firm with him. She started a rhythm of smacking his butt with the spoon, alternating between cheeks. At each swat, Shippo let out a loud yell and kept squirming, though it did nothing to reduce the sting he felt from each spank. This continued for a solid twenty minutes until Shippo finally stopped his squirming and simply cried on her lap, his twitching a bit at each swat. Just as Kagome had guessed, this was totally different from what Sango had done. There had been only pain when Sango had done it, but with Kagome, he felt very bad and actually felt better now that he was punished.

Kagome landed a few more swats on his arse before setting the spoon down and gently pulling his pants up over his stinging butt. She helped him onto his feet and held him as he sniffled and cried gently for a while. She smiled a bit. "There, promise not to ever do something like that again?"

Shippo nodded. "I promise, Kagome... I promise."

Kagome nodded. "Good, now go out and play for a bit, okay?"

Shippo nodded and gave her a small peck on the cheek before running out of the room.

Kagome sighed gently as she sat back against the wall. Disciplining someone was never easy. That much she had learned from her mother. But at least he had learned his lesson...

There was a loud smash and splash from outside and she distinctly heard Inuyasha shout, "GOD DAMN YOU, SHIPPO!"

Kagome sighed a bit. Well... maybe he hadn't...
