Enjoy the chapter!

00000000000000000000000000000000

A began story when a man named Belliume kidnapped a teenaged boy named Maki Wasabi. Belliume is known as the right hand man of the Dark Lord Ken, who currently is in the middle of a war that very few people know the truth about.

Two years ago Maki witnessed Ken rant about his evil plans and saw many things that he shouldn't have. Theses 'things' were the things that could over throw Ken and stop him in his evil ways. The poor boy also witnessed that night the death of his best friend Arreo, who Ken had killed after he caught Maki and his friend spying on him.

During all that Ken discovered that Maki had something that he wanted desperately; a pedant and very powerful one.

Ken wanted Belliume to kidnap the boy and hold him hostage till Maki decided to come over to the dark side. To persuade him the boy, Ken order Belliume to torture him for how ever long it took.

Belliume followed his master's orders and found Maki in the under ground craven, called the Snake Craven. He took the child to his hidden mansion and at first played the role of an evil villain.

When Maki thought Belliume was going to torture him to insanity or kill him, he was shocked to find out the man form of torture was spanking.

He spanked the boy till he was begging for mercy with tears and sobs. The next day Belliume had explained to Maki that he would remain his prisoner there till he thought it would be time to release him. While he was there he was to be on his best behavior and do what he was told. Any other actions would result in a spanking which Maki got many of.

As time passed Maki learned that Belliume was gifted with strong magic and he was no match for him. With the magic Belliume possessed he could force Maki to do anything.

He found Belliume to be strange by his methods and rather odd but they almost seemed parental. Since the man acted more like a strict parent then a kidnapper torturer. Though, Maki saw all the punishments he received for his misbehaver as torture; such as spankings, getting his mouth washed out with soap, and standing in the corner.

The two had many arguments and Maki grew a great hatred for the man when he found out that there was nothing he could do to escape Belliume or his punishments. One thing that Maki hated the most was the items. Which were the paddle, a flat wooden hair brush, a long ruler, a belt, a long thin stick, a whip, and of course the slipper. Yes the slipper; the first item that Belliume used on Maki.

Belliume explained to Maki that he would have to go through all of them and each time the spanking would only get worse as they went along.

Belliume wasn't totally out to get Maki and even though the boy wouldn't admit it, the man did want to help him.

When Belliume found out that Maki couldn't read well and wasn't able to do math. He personally began helping him with his studies. He also tried to explain that his punishments were protecting Maki. Belliume had even nursed the terrible sick child back to health. He deeds were appreciated but Maki had an odd way of showing his thanks.

After Maki thought he was cured of illness, he snuck out of his room and stole back his things that Belliume had hidden away. When curiosity took over him he eavesdropped on Belliume and a suspicious man named Talon. While listening to the two gentlemen, he found out that Belliume had stolen his pendent. At that moment it became his goal to get his pendent back and get out of there.

With very clever lies Maki stole the key to Belliume study, where he had hid the pendent.

After just getting his pendent back he was caught red handed by Belliume and was whipped out of anger. Realizing that he was far too angry to continue he told Maki that when he was well again they would continue the punishment.

So, Maki was forced to wait out three dreadful days. When the three days ended, Belliume who is rather sick minded man spanked Maki with a stick with that had a firm piece of sandpaper attached to it. None the less the boy learned his lesson and was so upset that he clung to Belliume for comfort. Which was something new for both of them.

Whether Maki knew it or not Belliume was teaching him to have conscious, reflect on his actions and deal with the consequences'.

After that was done Maki was grounded and was currently being forced to clean Belliume house. The story still continues for the two and much more is still to come.

000000000000000000000000000000000

Maki was about half way through his grounding and he was doing a pretty good job at cleaning. His work wasn't perfect but it seemed to please Belliume. Since the grounding had started the two were getting along pretty well.

Belliume would ask Maki to do something and he would do it. They had little to no arguments and Maki hadn't been spanked since he had started his punishment.

That was the thing that was starting to worry Belliume. It was a good thing that they were getting along but the boy was slowly starting to forget that Belliume was the man who had kidnapped him and that he was still a prisoner being tortured.

Belliume knew that it was his job to remind Maki that he was still being held prisoner and the way to remind him would be to bring him over his lap and again bring out the items.

--

Maki was sweeping away in the kitchen humming an off beat tune when Belliume walked in.

"Hey Belliume I didn't hear you come in." He grinned sweeping the kitchen floor dust into many different piles.

Belliume nodded and tried to seem serious. "I'm guessing your-…?" He noticed the many piles of dirt. "Done-Anyway, I need you to come upstairs with me, now" Belliume said sternly. The blue haired boy nodded and followed.

'Why does he sound so serious? I didn't do anything and I mean, I literally didn't do anything wrong. I've been on my best behavior and everything.'

Belliume lead the anxious boy to his room and sat him down on the bed. Maki eyes watched every movement Belliume made as his heart began to beat faster. Belliume began to walk over to the dresser.

Just by that action, Maki knew what was going on "no way Belliume!" Maki shot up from the bed and made a dash for the door.

Belliume stood still in front of the dresser and didn't bother to stop the boy.

Maki fumbled with the door and paled when he found it to be locked. He turned to Belliume with fear in his eyes and tried to protect his bottom by covering it with his hands and pressing it up against the door.

"Belliume..." Maki said with his voice filled with hurt and anger. "I've been good; you have no right to spank me!" He choked back tears that were welling up in his eyes. The tears were a mixture of the pain he was feeling and the pity he was hoping to get from Belliume.

"Please…" He let out a pitiful beg.

The pitiful sound in Maki's voice, the fear, and the hurt that made Belliume heart cringe, but no he had to do this. This was all to protect the boy and if he didn't make the boy suffer a little Ken would soon find out…

"Maki I have to. Now please don't make this harder. Do this for the both of us." Belliume told the boy.

The last thing Belliume wanted to do was spank Maki. Sure he loved using odd items to do weird things, like sandpaper. Yes call it sick and plain wrong but no one can forget that Belliume is the right hand man of the most evil man alive. But, His fondness for Maki had grown. He liked the child's cleverly sarcastic and cheeky comments and his rather playful nature. He just had to keep reminding himself that he had to do this for Maki, and for his own sake. Pulse it could be fun and it would get Belliume back into his sick groove.

Maki looked around the room wearily and then looked at Belliume with pleading eyes. Belliume only shook his head and motion Maki to come over with his hand. Maki released a pathetic sigh and walked over to Belliume with his eyes closed tightly.

"Pick." Belliume ordered sternly.

Maki's body began to tremble and he struggled to get the words to come out of his mouth.

Belliume placed a comforting hand on Maki's shoulder. "Calm down kid. Let's just get this over with." He tried to encourage him.

"The-the wh-whip…" He strutted.

Belliume nodded and grabbed the whip and with that Maki fell to his knees trembling even more than before.

"Why!" Maki yelled nearly screaming. He held his hands over his head. He looked at the ground and a bitter tone left his lips, "why do you have to do this too me?!"

"To pro…" Belliume was caught off by Maki who stood up with angry glaring from his eyes

"Don't you dare tell me that crap again!" Maki snapped at Belliume who was blown back by that. "I want you to tell me now, why your doing all of this?!" Maki demanded.

Oddly enough but Belliume was sort of hoping that Maki would throw a tantrum like this. This meant Belliume had a reason to spank him.

Before Maki could get in another word he was pushed up against the wall. "You know better than to talk that way to me!" Belliume yelled but his face suddenly soften to a warm smile.

"Maki I thought we talked about this and I thought you understood." And with that Maki fell to his knees shaking again.

"I know…" Maki sighed. "I just don't want to be…spanked and especially when I haven't done anything wrong." He turned his head to look at Belliume. "These past few days I've been trying to be good and avoid this."

Guilt began to sting Belliume heart. The boy had been good and he didn't deserve such a harsh punishment but none the less it had to be done. "You have been good and we've gotten along in your efforts." He looked down at Maki who nodded.

"I know you've told me your reasons for punishing me the way you do and you get complain the details but… I need to know! Please Belliume, please tell me why!" Maki begged with pleading blue eyes.

Oh how Belliume wish he could tell Maki the truth. Tell him that Ken was going to kill Maki instantly but he was the one who convinced the Dark Lord to keep the poor child alive and use his powers for their own advantage. Ken liked the idea and Belliume once again took the chance by saying he would kidnap Maki and keep him captive till he chose to come to their side. At that time he had no intentions of torturing him, none the less spanking him.

Ken didn't fully trust him due to incident that happen a few years ago so to make sure Belliume was doing his job Ken had a certain method he was using. A rather sick method and if he told the boy what it was. It would just completely horrify him. Yes, only if he could tell Maki. Then he would understand.

No, if he told Maki then Lord Ken would find out and he would kill the child. He would kill Maki and it would his fault. It was his purpose to protect the child and to teach him a few things while he was at it. That's was his plan and he had to stick to it; for both his and Maki's sake.

Belliume sighed and shook his head at the blue haired boy. Maki looked as if he was going to start yelling again but Belliume pulled him into a tight hug. "This is the last time I'm going to tell you this Maki." Belliume began to say softly. "I can't tell you for your safety and the same reason for why I have to spank you." He patted Maki's head.

'I can't believe him, telling me this crap again.' Maki had tears welling in his eyes. 'I bet he cursed me to start feeling bad and starting to believe him, because I don't. No one has ever done anything like this for me before, why should I start believing people now?!' Maki had buried his face in Belliume shirt prevent the tears from falling. 'Damn why do I fucking believe him!' Belliume pulled Maki from his shirt and bent down to his height.

"Oh don't tell me that Mr. Drama Queen is going to start crying now?" Belliume ruffled his hair and Maki forced the tears away. "So how do you want to do this Maki? On your own free will or…" Belliume paused and stood up.

"Please don't me stand up against the wall or a desk again." Maki interrupted. "I-I can-t-t" Maki began to stutter and shake.

Belliume gave the boy a smile and walked over to his bed and sat down. "Alright then, then come over here" Belliume order in a kind but firm voice. Maki gulped and nodded and walked over slowly to Belliume. He stood by Belliume lap and studied the floor as he stood before him.

'Belliume has a rather nice carpet in here...'

It was far too awkward for Maki just to lie himself over Belliume lap and the whole process made him feel ill. Also if he just laid himself over his lap then it felt to much like he was committing to the punishment and allowing Belliume to spank him. Maki wished that Belliume would just pull him over his lap then at least it would feel like he was being forced.

"Please remove your pants and boxers."

"Oh please Belliume not bare…"

Belliume answered him with a stern look and with a pitiful moan from Maki he removed his bottom clothing.

It was also easier for him to have Belliume pulled him over his lap and pull down his pants while over his lap. Yes it was humiliating but standing before Belliume trying to pull down his shirt to cover up his dignity was ten times more embarrassing.

"Okay let's not stall any longer." Belliume said and to Maki's relief and dismay he pulled over Belliume lap.

Maki was bitter to see that man he was laying over made sure to wrap his arm around his waist and locked his legs into in between his own.

Maki gripped the man's pant legs and braced his himself for the worse.

"Since you said this feel worse because you haven't done anything wrong and you have been good, you will name everything naughty thing you have ever gotten away with. Everything you name you will be given a swat for. That means you will be naming sixty things and be spanked sixty times." Belliume explained.

Maki jerked his head around in a awkward position to look at Belliume. "You can't be serious?! I can't name sixty bad things that I've done!" He snapped in a worried tone.

"I'm sure your sore bottom will un-jog your memory. Now start talking." Belliume order as Maki raced through his mind to remember bad things he had done.

"I um…punched Prince Oashura (O-AH-SURE-RA) of the East kingdom in the face?" Maki said unsurely. He wasn't sure if that really counted as a bad thing since Oashura was being a jerk and did deserved it.

'I know it was bad but it was funny, his nose bleed for like a whole twenty minutes. That was sweet.'

Though, hearing the sound of the whip swishing through the air and the stinging burn on Maki's bottom told him that Belliume must have thought it was naughty enough.

Belliume himself had to back a smile. He knew who Oashura was and that boy was a pretty bratty prince who could have used a few good whacks but none the less it was a naughty thing to do.

"I kicked Oashura." Maki painfully said as Belliume delivered another sharp whack to the boy. "And, I pushed him off a cliff…" Maki mumbled but loud enough for Belliume to hear and gasp.

"You did what?!" Belliume asked completely shocked.

"It wasn't a high cliff..." He mumbled again. "I also tied him up, stuffed him in a closet for two days, and put a bug on string in his hair." The guilty child added.

Belliume sighed and shook his head while he gave Maki and few sharp snaps to his rear. "Okay let's narrow it down to you bulling and beating up the Prince of The East." He said followed by another whack.

"I didn't bully him!" Maki responded. "If it's anyone that was being a bully it was him! He was always making for me and calling me names! It was all self defenses." He said defending himself.

"You call stuffing him in a closet and putting a bug on his head self defense?" Belliume asked smugly.

"No, that was just for fun." Maki couldn't help but grin.

'Damn that was a fun day! Man, did he scream and cry. Hehehehe he screams like a girl.'

"Okay, okay move on and no more Oashura related incidences." Belliume waited for Maki to continue.

"I stole and smoked Rydo's pipe." Belliume whipped him. It turned into a pattern.

"I stood up a girl in my village, Sammy, over fifty times and a one time in the pouring rain and never said sorry."

!Swish Whack!

"I humiliated Oashura sister, Mecko, in front of her whole family."

!Swish Whack!

"Put a mud bomb in Rydo's office."

!Swish Whack!

Maki fist were turning white as he gripped Belliume pants harder and bit his tongue to prevent any yelps from sneaking out. Though he had to admit the blows didn't hurt as bad as they did a few days ago. Belliume was being somewhat nice and going a little easy on him.

"Let the goats free and let them parade around the village, then took a joy ride on one of them through the field."

!Swish Whack!

"Eh, hid Rydo's formal robes."

!Swish Whack!

Belliume method began to cringe and tears started to well up in his eyes but not just because the pain, no the tears were from guilt.

As they continued and were about more then mid way done Maki moved on from naming childish pranks and started to admit to things that he actually felt guilty for, like running away, lying, and hurting people he cared about.

"I told Bongo I hated him and then ran away!" Maki finally broke into a fit of tears and sobs.

The poor child didn't have the strength to go on and Belliume aloud him to stop while he finished up the final blows.

When Belliume was done he threw the whip aside and let the child sob into his lap. "It's over now Maki." He told him softly as he rubbed lazy circles in the boy's sore bottom. Maki responded with hicks and sniffles.

"I'm a terrible person…" Maki admitted to himself sobbing and clenching Belliume pant legs.

"No your not, you're a bit of a brat sometimes but not a terrible person." Belliume told the boy softly as he continued to comfort him.

He allowed Maki to stay on his lap while till his tears died down and allowing him to stand to on his feet when he was ready to get up.

Maki looked dazed and tired from crying and the spanking. "I said I hated him…" He said quietly and started to fall to his knees but Belliume quickly caught him.

"Easy now Maki, I bet that was a long time ago and I'm sure he knows you didn't mean it." Belliume pulled the dazed child into his arms.

"I…" He tried to say but slightly dozed off in Belliume arms. The man put the boy down on his stomach on the bed, pulling the covers gently over him.

Maki opened his eyes slightly. "I said it before you took me away." He paused and forced a little strength out of him to sit up. "I need to tell him I'm sorry…" He clenched the sheets on the bed. "It was just a stupid argument. I never meant to say it. Now he'll never know how sorry I am, because I'm here…I want to see him again. I need to tell him I'm sorry." The tear began to fall from Maki's big blue eyes again.

Belliume sat down on the bed and put his hand on the child's head. "Don't worry Maki. You'll be able to see him again soon and I bet he knows that you care about him. His is your guardian right?" He asked.

Maki nodded lying down on his stomach again.

"If his is your guardian then I bet his knows all about you and your big mouth, so don't worry kid." Belliume reassured and rubbed his back, lulling him to sleep. Maki just let out a tired yawn and fell asleep.

Once he was sure the boy was asleep he left the room with the whip and headed for his office.

When he entered his office he knocked on his desk in different placed like a code. As a result an odd orb like crystal ball came out of the desk. Belliume bent down on one knee and bowed his head.

"Master, you called?" Belliume asked as a hologram like thing of the Dark Loud came appeared out of the crystal ball. The Dark lord stood before Belliume in his same evil looking black robes, same evil grin, same disgusting scars, and same piercing red eyes that the dark lord glared with.

Ken nodded. "Has he been persuaded to come over to our side yet?"

"No my Lord, but this evening I did my best to, so for tonight the job is."

The wicked smile turned into a displeased frown. "You think your job is done?!" He snapped. "Then you must be telling me that he has chosen to come to our side? When that happens, then your job is done!" He sneered wickedly

Belliume raised his head. "No master and I apologize. He still won't agree to come to our side. I have yet to crack him and get deep within his head. The boy is very stubborn like his parents." Belliume tried to explain.

"I sensed pain, misery and guilt! What do you mean you haven't cracked him yet?! You can lead army of blood thirsty demons, drive people into insanity, make the strongest soul beg for death, but you can't even scare a small child into using his skills for our advantage. What have you even been doing to him?!" Ken spat.

Belliume held up the whip.

"Whipping? No you need to get harsher, crueler, and nastier! Burn his skin, starve him in a rat hole, strap him down to a table and stick knives into his body till he begs for death!" The Dark Lord licked his lips at the sick thoughts.

"Belliume, my humble servant" Ken's voice soften but it still hade the sick coolness in his tone. "I'm giving you a year to complete your mission. Don't make me rush you by giving you less time. You're the best master mind torturer I have so don't let me loose my faith in you again, Belliume." Ken looked deeply at his servant.

"I understand my Lord." Belliume said as Ken disappeared in a luminous light.

With Ken gone he rose to his feet and whipped the sweat from his forehead. "That was too close." The man sighed.
