Okay I warn you this chapter is a bit mean, but it's still funny, in some sick way. Read on fellow reader, read on.

As the three girls giggled, there was a knock at the door. That stopped them cold. Surely it was not who they thought it was.

Faye, never one to show cowardice, marched right up to the door. "We're just being paranoid. They probably just want to tell us its dinner or something."

Unfortunately, it was not.

There stood three people. Spike Spiegal, Jet Black, and Inuyasha. All three of them looked very angry. Heck they looked downright pissed off.

"Well well," Faye said sarcastically, "if it isn't the men. How did you like what we did guys?"

Serenity waved her arms frantically. "Faye no! Don't tell them what we've done! If they know they'll-"

Inuyasha pushed his way through the two bounty hunters. "It's all I need to know you guys. Time for us to deal with these girls."

Serenity felt terror close around her heart. She knew what was coming next.

"I... Inuyasha," Serenity squeaked, "please have mercy on us!" Not quite what she wanted to say, but she would do anything to avoid the horrible fate awaiting her.

Inuyasha grabbed his little sister by the ear. "Sorry you little brat, but you had this coming."

It was then that Faye noticed there was a large paddle in Spike's hand, the same one he had found in the garage. She began to feel nervous, wondering what this device was for.

"What are you gonna do with that?" she asked.

"You'll see Faye." Spike said coldly. He grabbed the shrew woman by her arm and dragged her out of the room. Jet followed him.

After the three of them had left the room, Ed, Inuyasha, and Serenity remained in the room. Serenity was starting to perspire. Inuyasha's face had darkened.

Ed, never one to be gloomy or worried, piped up. "Did Inuyasha person like the jokes?"

"No I did not!" Inuyasha said with such savagery that Ed actually recoiled. "You really don't know when to quit, do you Serenity?" he asked his younger sister.

"But... I was just... having some fun..." Serenity said quietly.

Inuyasha went to the guestroom bed and sat down on it. He glared darkly at his younger sister.

"Come here." he said coldly.

Now Serenity was officially terrified. She knew what was coming next.

"Inuyasha please don't." Serenity whispered. "Not here."

Inuyasha turned to Ed. "Ed, leave the room."

Ed looked worried. "Why?" she asked.

"Because I said so. Now go." Inuyasha said, a bit more firmly.

Ed smiled happily. "Ed wants to see what-"

"GET THE HELL OUT!!!!" Inuyasha roared. Ed's eyes widened in fear and she all but ran out of the room. Inuyasha shut the door behind her.

Outside, Ed pressed her ear against the door. She was curious about what was going to happen to her friend. She was probably just going to get lectured or scolded, much like the bebop did to her when she did something bad. Ed was normally not a nosy person, but this time she wanted to hear what would happen to her new friend. She imagined it would be-

And then there was a series of sharp WHACK sounds accompanied by Serenity screaming.

Ed's faced turned pale. Surely Inuyasha wouldn't have... No, she wouldn't believe that. So she opened the door as quietly as she could and peeked inside.

Ed felt sadness and fear converge on her. She could not believe what she was seeing. Inuyasha was sitting on the bed, his backed faced towards her. Serenity was laying stomach down over his knee and she was crying as loudly as anybody could. And oh God Inuyasha was hitting her on her... her...

"Tell me why you are being punished Serenity." Inuyasha growled, in between whacks.

Through her sobbing and yelping, Serenity managed to speak. "Because–OW!!! I helped Ed and Faye-OW!!! Play a bunch of-OUCH!!! Mean pranks on you!"

Inuyasha started to say something, but Ed didn't hear it since she had slammed the door shut. Mercifully, Inuyasha had not heard it. Ed slumped to the ground, her eyes wide with terror and shame. All this was happening because of a few pranks. Her friends were getting this horrible punishment because they just wanted to have some fun.

"Poor Serenity person." Ed whispered. She lowered her head into her stomach and wept, half from shame, half from fear of what surely awaited her.

Faye backed up against the wall in another room. "You can't do that to me Spike! Your not my parent or guardian and I'm not a child anymore!"

Spike smiled his trademark smile. "Sorry Faye but if your gonna act like a child, we're gonna treat you like a child. Now go to the wall and lean over."

Faye could have easily gotten away, she was not a woman to just back down, but with both Spike and Jet standing there, she decided it would be better to just go with the flow. Besides, this probably wouldn't be as bad as it seemed. So she went to the wall, placed her hands on the wall, and leaned into it.

While Jet stood guard at the door, Spike walked up to Faye with the paddle, reared his arms back, and swung as hard as he could. SMACK!!! The paddle connected with Faye's rear end with the force of a run away train. Faye winced and felt tears come to her eyes. This was not going to be fun.

SMACK!!! Another hit and Faye began to whimper. "C'mon Spike this isn't funny!" the shrew whined.

Spike did not say a word. He simply swung the paddle again.

SMACK!!! Faye broke down and began to cry. "Spike come on, that hurts!!!"

"You stand your own on bounty hunts, but when something like this happens you just lose it. That's sad." Spike said.

SMACK!!!! Faye began to cry harder. Heck she was flat out sobbing.

"Spike please stop! I promise I'll be good! Please no more!" Faye sobbed.

Again Spike did not respond. He just swung again. SMACK!!!!

Faye jumped up, clutching her backside. She began to wail. "HOLY SHIT THAT HURTS!!!! FOR GOD'S SAKE STOP IT SPIKE!!! IT HUUUURRRTTTSSS!!!!" Faye howled like a small child.

Spike waited a minute, then said as calmly as he could "Just one more if your good."

Faye continued to sob and wail and she bent back into the wall. Spike reared her arms back, and then swung like a professional baseball player. SMACK!!!

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Faye was howling. She had never been in so much pain. Even more, she was humiliated. How could Spike do this to her? She wasn't a child! She was an adult for crying out loud!

Spike gently put his hand under Faye's chin and lifted up her tear soaked face to look directly into his eyes. Faye was crying so hard that her nose was starting to run.

"Look Faye, I'm sorry I had to do that but-" before he could finish, a look of almost insane rage passed over Faye's face. Her eyes, still brimming with tears, narrowed into slits. Her lips trembled, then peeled back in a dog like snarl. Spike saw such rage in those eyes that he let go of Faye's chin and backed away from her. He was not one who was easily intimidated, but even he knew there was a time to fight and a time to flee and from the look on Faye's face, it was time for the latter.

Faye spoke three words, but there was so much venom in her voice that Spike wondered if it was true.

"I'll get you."

Without another word, Faye left the room.

"Do you think she meant it Spike?" Jet asked.

Spike leaned against the wall. "I doubt it, but I'll keep my guard up just in case. You can never tell with her."

"Yeah sure."

They didn't do to Ed what they had done to Faye and Serenity. Spike, Jet, and Inuyasha instead just yelled at her so badly that she started crying. That was enough for them, just so long as the girls learned their lesson. Each of the girls promised that they wouldn't do anything like this again and that they would be good. Spike and his friends were satisfied. All the fight had gone out of the three girls and there would be no worry about retaliation.

Or so they thought...

To be continued...
