Chapter 51


"I HATE YOU!"

Okay, kid. Take it down a notch. You did just try to murder your sisters. All I did was take away the privilege to visit grandma for two months and also increase the number of chores you need to do. You still get to have friends over. You still get to go to preschool. I think that's more than fair. Your mom wanted me to spank you and be a lot more assertive. I didn't even raise my voice. Do you know how fucking lucky you are kid?!

I'm never going to hit them. Any of them. For any reason. Ever. I've gotten enough beatings in my life for the lot of them. I know it sounds stupid but so long as I'm alive they're never going to have to suffer like I did…especially not by my own hand. I've told Kagome the same. She's not to lay a hand on them. There are other ways of punishing a kid. Taking away stuff they enjoy and other things like that. Not being able to visit grandma means no television, no candy, no playgrounds, no trips out on the town, no new clothes and a lot more. Increased chores means more work and less play. It hits her where it hurts without actually hurting her.

So yeah kid, hate me all you want. I don't give a fuck. No matter what happens I still love you and even though it stings to hear you say that now, I know that hatred isn't going to last forever.
