Thank you to all who reviewed. Sorry for the wait. I've been busy writing rough drafts for some other story ideas. Right now I have an obsession for Kingdom Hearts and an even bigger one for organization 13. I just luuuuuuve Zexion. I have a few spanking stories for Kingdom Hearts and a few other anime's. Some none spanking as well. I'm not sure if I'm going to be posting them any time soon.

Chapter Twenty-Two: The Deeds of the Darkness Lord

Sonate and Maki were sitting at the kitchen table, playing a nice game of chest. Sonate was about to cream the boy if it wasn't for Belliume who came dashing into the room and grabbed Maki in process.

Belliume had swung Maki over his shoulder and quickly made his way down into the cellar. Without a word he tossed Maki onto the dirt floor and began to chain his ankles and hands to the wall.

"Belliume, Belliume, hold on a second, will you?!" Maki groaned struggling against Belliume as he was trying to fix the locks.

"MAKI SHUT UP!" Belliume snapped causing Maki to stop his fidgeting and lower his head.

Maki didn't make a sound after that. He sat there and aloud Belliume to do as he wished. The man had covered his whole body with dirt and with some type of magic he made him look very filthy and unhealthy.

Maki appearance had changed due to Belliume magic. His hair was longer and unclean. There were sores, bruises, and dried blood all over his body. He also looked much thinner, although he felt fine.

"Listen Maki I need you to act like your near death." Belliume said as he was going around the cellar/dungeon making it look like some bad history happened there. "Only speak if you're spoken to and try to sound dead, alright?" His tone was rather cold and harsh, which made Maki feel like a dog with his tail between his legs.

"Yes." Maki answered.

"Now lie down and look dead." Belliume ordered and left the boy in the dark cellar.

'Belliume must be really stressed about Ken coming. I don't really blame him for snapping at me. I'm annoying anyway…'

Belliume met Sonate at the top of stairs and his younger brother was looking very displeased

"Brother, where have you been. You were gone a whole day!" He scolded but Belliume brushed him off to prepare for Ken. That only made Sonate angrier. "Don't ignore me Brother!!!"

Belliume twirled around and pointed at his brother sternly. "Ken is going to be here any moment. I don't have time for you to nag at me. I spent all of yesterday trying to get Ken to do something else today. I failed." His voice was harsh and annoyed.

His brother rolled his eyes. "We all knew Ken was coming and we all know theirs nothing no one can do about it." He pointed out making Belliume growl.

"Do you know what I did yesterday? Your job. I took care of Maki and would you like to know what he did while you were gone?" Sonate pestered.

"Not now Sonate." Belliume urged.

Sonate continued, "He constantly asked me where you were, when were you going to come home, Belliume this and Belliume that. That boy looks up to you and cares about you!" Belliume stopped what he was doing and looked at his pink haired brother.

"Sonate, what are you getting at?" Belliume sighed.

The sparkle that was normally in Sonate eyes vanished and turned into a burning inferno. "The way you snapped at Maki, down in the cellar was unnecessary. I also hope when Ken comes you don't let him do anything unnecessary like you did down…"

Belliume didn't say anything and continued to do his work to prepare for Ken. Sonate only sigh and left Belliume and Maki to face Ken. He would be no help to them.

Rudely The Darkness Lord burst through the doors of Belliume's home. "Belliume I have arrived!" He announced loudly.

"Hello Lord Ken" said Nina who came to fetch Ken's cloak. "It's good to see our Lord in good health." There was a hint of sarcastic bitterness in her tone.

Ken smirked down at the tiny woman. "Ah, Nina I see you haven't killed over yet" He said dropping his cloak on her.

Hiding her disgust and bitterness well she took the cloak off and hung it up. "I'll die after I dance on your grave." She mumbled to herself.

Ken had seemed to miss the snarky comment as Belliume entered the Foyer. One the other hand Belliume had heard the comment and gave Nina a stern look.

"Belliume it's good to see you." Ken greeted as the two men shook hands. "But, do you know what will be even better to see?" he asked.

"Sorry I don't." Belliume said not really in the mood to be playing Ken's game."

Ken smiled wickedly and started out of the foyer and was making his way to the cellar door. "The boy!" He said as if he was an excited school boy.

Belliume stomach began to knot as he quickly followed after Ken. "M-milord, Milord please wait!" He said trying to catch up to the man.

Ken stopped at the cellar door and glared at Belliume with impatient eyes. "What, I want to see the child." He pouted.

"Let's have dinner?" Belliume suggested unsurely. Ken only looked annoyed and started down the stairs that lead to the cellar.

When he got down he was met by some rust jail bars. To his joy, the person laying half dead on the floor was Maki Wasabi. Without waiting another moment he burst through the cell door and approached the child.

Belliume quickly followed behind Ken and watch carefully as Ken got near Maki. "There you are, Milord, the child; just how you'd like him. Now why don't we eat?" He pushed but Ken shook his head.

"This boy, this boy…" Ken muttered barley loud enough for Belliume to hear. "His father mocked me and stole my pendent. I thought I had my vengeance when that rat died but no…" Ken's breathing becoming fast and his fist were clenched. "I searched and searched for that pendent after Jaken's (Maki's father name Ja like Java Ja-Ken) death but I couldn't find it. Few years later I found out this brat has it and he's even worse than his father. No child shall mock me!" Ken began to kick Maki in the ribs at a violent pace.

Maki struggled to get away from Ken but he couldn't move at all. Besides he was chained to the wall.

"Milord, Milord, please!" Belliume grabbed Ken and pulled him away from Maki who now curled up in a ball trying to breath.

"Belliume, why did you stop me?!" Ken snapped. "I want ever ounce of vengeance that I can get!"

Belliume ran through his mind to find excuse. "I don't want you killing the boy. We still need him, perhaps you can continue your vengeance later without killing him?" He suggested.

Ken thought for a moment and nodded.

'Eh, I-I didn't think t-that was going to happen…At least Belliume stopped him. This time…

"Alright Belliume get the boy up and cuff him to that hook." Ken ordered.

The looked down at the boy that up at his superior. "Milord I thought you were going to wait?" Belliume asked.

Ken had found his way over to a pile of whips and other torture devices. "I waited about 2.5 seconds and now I wish to have some fun. Now get him on the hook Belliume." He ordered again, giving the whips.

Having little choice Belliume lifted Maki up and hooked his cuffs on to a hook. Maki feet were barely able to touch the ground and his arms were stretching painfully.

While Belliume was hooking Maki, the boy gave him a pleading look. "Please Belliume whatever he is about to do, don't let him." Maki whispered in a pleading voice.

Belliume backed away without a word and stood by Ken. Who was looking at the whip as if it was a hot meal.

"It's finally time you were punished!" Ken yelled cracking the whip of Maki's bare back. The boy let out a painful gasp and struggled to get off the hook or avoid the cracks of the whip.

Ken continued to crack the whip as if it were a toy, showing little misery on the blue haired child. "Now you know who is superior! You will never make my name the butt of any joke any longer!" He roared as he thrashed the whip.

Maki was beyond crying, he was wailing terrible. No words came from his mouth, only gasp and hisses of pain. He did not begged Ken to stop noir did he beg Belliume to make him stop. He hung their and took the beating.

Belliume stood beside Ken stuck between loyalty to his superior and over what was right. It took every bit of will power Belliume possessed to not grabbed the whip from Ken and beat the Lord of Darkness with it. All he could do was stand their and watched the boy he cared suffer…

Countless thrashes were delivered to Maki. His Back was soaked in blood that ran down to his legs, which dripped onto the dirt floor. The pain had become so unbearable that he had become stunned at one point.

His eyes had grown wide and emotionless as he no longer cried out. His body finally allowed him to become unconious and take the pain in a deep sleep.

By this time Ken was down and Belliume body shook with angry and disgust.

"A-are you done Milord?" Belliume asked doing his best to hold back that tears his wanted cry for his ward.

Ken wiped the sweat of his brow and nodded. "That will do Belliume." He grinned and made his way towards the stairs. "I feel as if a weight has been lifted off my chest." He said in a refreshed tone.

Belliume went over to Maki and went to unhook him but was stopped by Ken.

"Leave the boy. You'll get him tomorrow. Come back to the castle with me." Ken ordered more than asking.

Belliume hesitated. He wanted to grab the child and begin to comfort and take care of him again. He couldn't bare the idea of just leaving him their.

"Belliume." Ken warned his right hand man, almost daring him to let the boy go.

Belliume swallowed hard and left Maki to hang in a bloody mess. "Yes Milord." He croaked leaving with the Lord of Darkness.
