Chapter 10: Yazoo's Birthday

When Yazoo woke up, he was all alone, so he was a little afraid. He decided to go to the bathroom to clean up. Afterwards, he went into the living room.

"Good morning, Yazoo," Elena greeted happily. She had been living with them for nearly a week and was already a part of the family.

"Good morning!" Yazoo returned. "Where's Loz and Kadaj?" he asked, holding Moogy against his chest.

"In the kitchen."

As Yazoo stepped into the kitchen . ..

"Surprise!" Yelled Kadaj and Loz, jumping out from behind the table. Elena yelled it with them from behind Yazoo. "Happy Birthday, Yazoo!"

Yazoo jumped in surprise, then ran up and hugged his brothers, then invited Elena to join in, so she did.

"Thank you so much! I love you all!" Yazoo sniffed happily.

"Aww, Yazoo, you're such a sweetie!" Loz chuckled, poking his cheek so that he'd laugh.

"Come on! Make a wish and blow out the candles!" Kadaj urged, dying for some fresh cake.

"This cake is the most beautiful one I've ever seen!" Yazoo cheered, loving all the pink flowers and yellow sunshines on it. "How'd you afford it?"

"I made it myself!" Kadaj told him.

"And I bought all of the ingredients and fixed the decorations," Elena informed. "Go on, make a wish whenever you're ready."

Yazoo silently made a wish, then blew out all of the candles. Everyone cheered and hugged him again.

"Time for your present! I picked it out, of coarse," Loz informed happily. "Close your eyes and don't peek!"

Yazoo obeyed and smiled hugely while doing so. "You can look now!" Loz told him.

As Yazoo opened his eyes adn saw his present on the table, he screamed with great joy and held up his arms in surprise. It was a beautiful pink flower with long petals and a green stem in a pot. "How'd you know! Oh, it's so beautiful! Thank you all so much!"

"Did you see the name of the flower?" Loz asked, smiling brightly.

Yazoo checked the tag stuck in the pot and cheered even more. "It's a Yazoo! Just like me!" He hugged Kadaj, Loz, and Elena so tightly they started to turn blue. As he let go, they saw tears falling from his eyes.

"Aww, Yazoo!" Loz smiled.

"You're such a sweetiepie!" Elena exclaimed.

"Let's eat some cake!" Kadaj urged again.

Yazoo dried his tears, then sat in his seat next to Moogy at the table. Loz sat at one end, Elena at the other, and Kadaj across from Yazoo and Moogy with Choco.

After stuffing their faces ful with cake, Kadaj was feeling rather nauseus, Elena was normal, Yazoo was hyper, Moogy and Choco seemed happy according to Yazoo and Kadaj, and Loz was standing and ready to make an announcement."Ahem, it is now time for Yazoo's yearly spanking. Since today is his twentieth birthday, he shall recieve twenty by me, since I'm the oldest."

Yazoo sank in his seat with Moogy. "You're not gonna make me scream and cry like you did Kadaj on his last birthday, are you?"

"No, sorry 'bout that accident. I won't use the paddle anymore," Loz assured nervously, scratching the back of his kneck. Kadaj glared at him upon remembering that painful and embarassing moment. "I'll just use my hand."

Loz set Moogy back in her original seat, then lifted Yazoo up and carried him to the center of the kitchen so that everyone got a good view. He crouched down adn ben Yazoo over his knee. "Now this is gonna hurt a little," Loz warned. Yazoo swallowed and his body became tense.

"Is this really neccessary?" Elena inquired.

"Yeah, it's a family tradition," Kadaj sighed.

"Owww!" Yazoo cried out as Loz slapped him the first time on his chubby bottom.

"One!" Kadaj counted aloud, enjoying the show.

Yazoo struggled to get loose, but Loz was too strong for him to overcome. Then number two hit just as he changed positions. "Owwwww!" Yazoo cried even louder, falling back in his original placement.

"Hold still and it won't hurt as bad!" Loz informed.

After being spanked twwenty times and 'one to grow on', Yazoo was struggling to hold his tears in. His bottom was in so much pain that it was dark red, felt hot, and was throbing and tingling like crazy. He just stood there with his hands over his rump protectively and bit his bottom lip.

"Loz, I think you overdid it again," Kadaj sighed.

"Nah, he's not even cryin'!" Loz assured, then noticed Yazoo's face, wich looked like he was sucking on something sour. "What's wrong, birthday boy?"

Yazoo bent his knees in together in a girly fashion. "My butt feels funny!"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Well, it feels really hot, it has a huge pulse, and it's . . . tingling," Yazoo whimpered.

Loz walked up to him and could see it pulsating. "Geeze! That can't be normal!" he exclaimed.

"I have a friend that's a nurse. We could take him to her office for a cheap price," Elena informed.

"Hmm . . . this is a very rare case," the nurse said, examining him in a hospital room. Seh then recoverd him with his hospital gown and faced Loz, who was the only other one in the room. "Has he been hit a lot in that same place in the last couple of months or so?"

"Yeah, a whole lot," loz answered.

"Well, that's what's caused it. Much like the Planet's wound, Northern Crater, his mako in his body has rushed up to that spot to his hurt place to heal him. This has caused a build up, which is making him throb and tingel." She gave Yazoo a shot and he cried out.

"Now, he's going to be extremely fragile there for a couple of weeks or so, so make sure nothing, not even the slightest bit of pressure, comes in contact with his buttocks, okay?" She gave him another shot, so he whimpered.

The nurse got out a needle that sucked Mako out of him, so he squirmed, messing the nurse up, until Loz made him stop by holding him down. After a few more small shots, Yazoo starting talking to Loz to help get his mind off of the nurse's doing. As she pulled a needle out of him, Yazoo twisted his body around just enough to see the nurse now holding a very long and thick needle in her hand. Yazoo had just happened to turn at the worst moment. He got on his knees and tried to escape, but Loz got a firm grasp on him and held him down.

"Nooo!" Yazoo screamed like a seven-year old child.

"Calm down, Yazoo! I wouldn't let her do anything harmful to ou. This will help you. Besides, it won't hurt that bad, " Loz explained.

Just then, the needle was injected in him, adnd Yazoo cried out in pain. The nurse put a bandaid on the new hole and reclothed him. She gave him a lollypop, then Loz helped him to get dressed.

At home, Loz was watching an action movie, as well as acting it out, with Yazoo, and Kadaj was mopping the grimey kitchen floor. Yazoo was not enjoying the bloody movie very much; violence scared him and blood made him queezy. He would much rather watch something happy and bright. Yazoo whimpered and covered his head with a blanket on the sofa between him and Loz upon seeing some guy's tongue being ripped out by a cross-eyed woman. Loz scooted closer to Yazoo and placed an arm around his shivering body.

"Aww, it's okay, Yazoo. It's just a movie," Loz comforted.

"Loz, what're you makin' him watch!" Elena yelled angrily, stomping into the room with her hands on her hips. "It's his birthday! Let him watch what he wants to! Not some 'Kill Bill' rip-off!"

"Oh, but a good porn movie is coming on next!" Loz whined. Elena glared at him, so he turned it on 'My Little Pony'. "There."

"Yay! My favorite show!" Yazoo cheered, emerging from the blankets. A commercial about 'Little Debbie Cakes' came on, so Yazoo all of a sudden needed some sweets to eat. He left the couch and approached the kitchen.

"Yazoo! Wait!" The floor's still wet!" Kadaj yelled, mopping the other end of the room. It was too late -- Yazoo had already placed a heel of his boot onto the wet, slick floor and began falling. Luckilly, Loz caught him just before hitting the floor, so he fell on top of Loz instead.

"Thanks, Loz," Yazoo sighed. His rump was hurt, but not as bad as if he'd hit the floor.

"Be more careful next time!" Loz told him, angry that Yazoo could have been hurt badly.

"Loz, don't scold him so much! It was an accident!" Elena said.

"Are you okay?" Kadaj asked, approaching the living room. "Oww!" he yelled, slipping and falling onto the floor.

"Get up, stupid!" Loz yelled to him. Elena generously went and helped Kadaj up and into the living room. "What were you doin' in the kitchen anyway, Yazoo?"

"I wanted some sweets to eat," Yazoo replied 'sweetly', sitting back down on the couch gently.

"Sweets! You know what that does to your posterior region! I don't wanna deal with your little weight problem again!"

"Loz! Shame on you!" Elena yelled.

"Yeah! It's his birthday!" Kadaj added.

Loz stomped out onto the back porch with Elena and Kadaj sat down next to Yazoo.

"I'm sorry you havent' had a very good birthday," Kadaj said sadly.

"It's not your fault, Kadaj," Yazoo replied. "It's Loz's." He put his feet in the seat and scrunched his knees up to his nose and held Moogy. That postion was not very comfortable, so he put his legs back down.

"I don't know why he has to show himself on special occassions! I understand that he has to keep the spanking tradition, but slapping you too hard and talking to you like that is uncalled for!"

A few minutes later, Loz and Elena stepped back in and saw Kadaj and Yazoo hugging on eachother. They stopped as Loz approached them. Loz just picked Yazoo up and held him in his arms. Yazoo did not want to be held, but sure did not want to be dropped, so he put his arms around Loz's neck and held on tightly. Loz sat down in his chair with Yazoo in his lap and smiled at him. Yazoo did not smile back. He tried to place his feet onto the ground to leave, but Loz just grabbed his legs and put them back. Yazoo struggled a few more times, but Loz prevented his escape. Loz tickled Yazoo's tummy and made him laugh, but Yazoo got a hold of Loz's hands and jerked them away.

Kadaj just sat on the couch and watched and Elena was in the bathroom. Yazoo was angry. He could not escape Loz. He hated that he was too small and weak to defend himself and that he was being forced to be embraced and held by someone.

Loz leaned his head over and kissed Yazoo's cheek. Yazoo whiped it off and turned his face away. "Come on, Yazzy, you always wanted me to kiss ya!" Loz informed.

Yazzy. Yazzy? This made Yazoo even angrier. "Lozzie, you're stupid!" Yazoo yelled.

Loz's face turned red with anger. His once gentle embrace around Yazoo's frail body was now very tight so that it squeezed his body hurtfully.

"Loz! You're hurting me!" Yazoo whimpered. "Stop it, stupid!"

Loz loved calling other people 'stupid', but when he was called that, it was a different story. Loz stood up with helpless Yazoo and hung him over his shoulder so that he was upside down and his head was nearly touching the floor.

"Aaaaa! Kadaj, help!" Yazoo screamed.

Kadaj ran up to Loz, so Loz just pushed him back so hard that he fell and hit his back against the wooden part of the sofa, so he sat there hurt. Loz held Yazoo normally again, but this time, he smiled at him evilly.

"Loz! Please! Don't drop me!" Yazoo begged.

"Loz! Don't!" Kadaj yelled from the floor.

Loz did. He dropped Yazoo onto the hardwood floor. "Ooops!" Loz yelled, then laughed. Yazoo cried horribly loud and tears just poured down his face. Kadaj crawled up to him and comforted him along with Choco and Moogy. "Splat! Went the baby fat!" Loz sung, refering to Yazoo's overweightness in his posterior place.

"Shut your mouth, Lzo! Kadaj yelled to him furiously.

"Why don't you, Cabbage!" Loz returned, then knocked Kadaj over and kicked him in the bottom.

Later that day, Yazoo and Kadaj were lying in their bed next to each other, but neither was crying anymore. They were both awake and holding their dolls.

"Don't worry. We'll make this day up to you somehow, Yazoo. Or at least I will," Kadaj assured.

"I don't know what's gotten into Loz again! He hurt us! And I'm throbbing and tingling again!" Yazoo complained. "What should I do?"

"Just wait and see what happens, I guess. And if Loz tries to do something to you, just let him. I know it's bad, but we can't fight him in our conditions."

"I'm miserable! I have to put up with Loz and my rapid pulsing and tingling! What if he hurts me again!"

"Hmm . . . I have an idea," Kadaj smiled.

Just then, Loz entered the room. He sat down on the bed next to Yazoo and stroked his hand down his back gently. "I'm sorry, you two. I'm not fully in control of myself today. I don't know why just yet, but I will soon. Please believe me. I didn't really wanna ruin the day," he explained, a sad and sympathetic look on his face. Tears began forming in his eyes.

"Loz . . .," Kadaj stated, believing him.

Loz whiped the tears out of his eyes before they could spill down his face. "Well, let me see you two." He looked at Yazoo. "Here's some medicine from the nurse," he handed a lotion and a powder medicine to Yazoo. "Lather yourself with hte lotion, then sprinkle the powder over it. You need to do it before you go to bed at night and when you first wake-up."

Then Loz went and sat on Kadaj's side of the bed. He examined Kadaj's back, but it was only bruised.Loz left the room.

"So, what's your idea, Kadaj?" Yazoo asked.

"You should wear a diaper. That way, it won't hurt as much if you get hit," Kadaj assured. "Don't worry. I won't tell anyone. Not even Loz or Elena.

So, was it good or just plain stupid? I apologize if you did not like the whole Yazoo injury thing. I write like that when I get depressed. If you would like, I will not mention it much after this chapter. Just tell me what you think and I'll do my best to make you happy. Next chapter: Moogy gets kidnapped! And Olivia returns!
