Chapter 116

Fuck. What do I do? I should punish them, right? On the one hand, they did lie to get here. But I don't buy that line about how he didn't know until she told him. For someone as smart as him, he should've figured it out when I didn't meet them at the well. He can't put it all on her. And yeah, she can be a little shit and she does cause a lot of trouble but I mean, it's not like she's evil or something or that he's holier than now. He's trying to cover his ass. He knows I could probably hear it all. And I don't know that I like that. Trying to save his own ass. He really is his father. Blabbering on about misunderstandings and shit when he knew exactly what he was doing. Maybe I should play dumb. After all, I've never been to a movie. I mean, I've seen movies on the TV and shit but I've never gone to a movie. But how can I let them go to the movie when they clearly fucked up and obviously it's going to be awkward as fuck now? And I'm not going lie to cover her ass. Fuck.

"You want to explain to me what you two were thinking?"

"Honorable Oji, allow me to..."

Oh you pretentious little...

"It's my fault. I...I lied to Katsuro and told him you would be escorting us. If you're going to punish someone, punish me. Leave him out of this."

"Where were you guys planning on going?"

"To the movies. There's a new Batman movie called the Dark Knight."

"And why didn't you just ask me?"

"I thought you'd say no. I'm still grounded."

"And you'll definitely be grounded for two weeks more after this. Katsuro, I'm pretty sure whatever punishment I give you will satisfy your parents."

"Yes sir." "I understand."

"So, what's this movie about?"

"Oh, um, so there's this guy who dresses up in costume and fights bad guys. It's American but they dubbed it to Japanese."

What the fuck is dubbed?

"And this movie was worth lying and sneaking around?"

"No. No it wasn't. I...I wanted to spend time with Katsuro. Alone."

"Alone? So you really were just going to watch a movie?"

"Yes. But...but it won't happen again. This was a mistake."

"Damn right it was a mistake. And you'll both need to be punished."

"Yes sir." "I know."

"So you won't be going to the movies alone."

"Yes sir.""Of course."

"You'll have to go with me."

"What?"

"I said, you'll be going with me. Both of you. Chaperoned."

"How is that a fit punishment for deception?"

"You'd rather I kick your ass, kid? The only thing I promised your father is that I wouldn't kill you. Didn't say nothing about maiming."

"No. No. No. Of course not."

"Afterwards, you're both going to come to the shrine every day for the next two weeks until it's so clean you can see your reflection in the dirt. Either I or Kagome will supervise this."

"Yes sir." "O...okay?"

"Katsuro's parents will decide whether this is just or not as well. If they want to add punishment to him, you'll also get the same added, Izayoi. Understood?"

"Yes."

"So let's go then. Izayoi, I assume you have money, right? Hand it over. Part of the punishment."
