"Usagi Must Be Punished!" The Attack of Brushstar

Usagi Tsukino was not having a good day! She was nervously pacing around her room. "How could they do this to me?!" she yelled out loud. "I am supposed to be their leader! There is just no way they can be doing this!"

Laying on Usagi's bed, and quite glad that there was no one else in the house to hear this tirade, was Luna. She was Usagi's mentor and cat. "You did bring this on yourself, Usagi," she commented. "So there really is no point in getting upset."

Usagi stopped in her tracks and glared down at the cat "Upset," she yelled. "Luna, I am going to show you new meanings of the word 'upset'!" She waved her arms up and down franticly, fists clenched "Do you know what they are doing?! What they are voting on?!" Usagi brought her hands to her hips. "My dear friends are voting on giving me a spanking, Luna! ME! A spanking!"

The cat sighed. "Yes, I know, but try to not let it upset you."

Too late for that! "Not let it upset me!" Usagi yelled. "And just what part should I not let upset me?!"

Before Luna had a chance to answer, a beep came from Usagi's communicator. Usagi froze. The beep came again. And then again. "You can't avoid this, Usagi." Luna said. "So you might as well answer."

With a whimper, Usagi opened the compact shaped communicator. On the small screen was Ami Mizuno, Sailor Mercury. The sad look on the blue haired girl's face told Usagi everything. "Hi Ami," Usagi said trying to sound normal "Is everything ok?"

"Umm Usagi," Ami's voice sounded a little shaky "Could you come to the temple. We have come to a decision."

Usagi gulped. That didn't sound good, she thought. "Aaaa Well, Ami," Usagi stammered. "I can be there in a bit. But I have a few things to take care. You know going to the store. Housework. Things like that..."

Just then another face popped on to the screen, cutting off Usagi "Oh no you don't!" It was Rei Hino, the fiery tempered Sailor Mars. "Usagi, get your butt down here right now or you will regret it!"

Usagi didn't respond. She just closed the compact and sank to her knees. Luna came up next to her. "Well there is no point in putting this off, Usagi." Usagi just whimpered.

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the evil Death Busters, Mimete, a member of the Witches 5, was having a bad day of her own. She was in class(if one calls lectures on how to be evil a class) and as always she was not paying attention. This time she was reading a book hidden by her class book. Unfortunately she was getting too into the book to notice the arrival of The Professor, the leader of the Death Busters, at her desk.

"Mimete!" the young lady practically jumped out of her seat, her books falling to the desk. She looked up and in to the dark face of the Professor. Their glasses reflected each others image. "Studying hard I see."

Trying to look innocent, Mimete chirped a "Yes Sir." She was hoping that he would buy it. He didn't.

"I see," he said placing his hand on her book. Mimete held her breath "But just what are you studying though?" In a flash, the Professor swept up the books. Mimete gave a small eek.

For a few seconds, The Professor read through the book as Mimete cringed. "What is this?" he asked still reading. Then he flipped over to the cover. "Shadow lane?!" he murmured. Mimete cringed even more. The Professor pulled the book down from his eyes. "Mimete! My office! Now," he ordered.

The walk to the temple was way too short for Usagi. She was creeping up to where the rest of her friends were waiting as slowly as she could. At the door she took a deep breath and stepped into the Rei's room.

Seated inside around a small table were not only Ami and Rei, but the rest of the Sailor Soldiers, Makoto Kino; Sailor Jupiter, and Minako Aino; Sailor Venus with her mentor/cat Artemis.

"Uh Hi guys," Usagi greeted them, not liking the serious looks on their faces.

"Come on in Usagi." Rei said somewhat coldly. Usagi did, feeling as though she was walking to her doom. Entering she sat down. "Well," Rei continued" you know why you are here. So you can just forget making any of your lame excuses."

"Oh come on, Rei. Guys," Usagi started to defend herself. "It's not like I did anything that bad!"

"Not that bad!" Rei fumed "What you did was totally irresponsible!"

"Rei it's not like I caused the downfall of the universe or something." Usagi said trying to make the mountain a molehill. "I just cut school once. Just once. So what is the big deal?"

This time Ami spoke. "The big deal, Usagi," she said, with just a hint of disappointment. "Is that it was very irresponsible of you to do so, since we are all trying to get in to a good high school. And not to mention just how unbecoming of you it was."

"Unbecoming of me?" Usagi asked.

"As our team leader, meatball head!" Rei growled. "And also as the future ruler of Crystal Tokyo," she added. "Now how can we or anyone count on someone who just up and decides to duck anything that is responsible? Oh no Usagi. It stops now before it gets
any worse."

"Oh so it's just like that, Rei." Usagi tried to counter. Thanks for showing us our future, Pluto, she thought bitterly. "One little slip in judgment and it's over the knee for me!"

Rei shot back "Better that than to have you doing something that stupid again and getting you or us in a mess when it really counts!" Thinking for a second, Rei then added "Besides you had this coming for a long time."

Usagi ignored the comment. "And all of you agree with her?" Usagi asked hoping the answer would be on her side. Unfortunately it was not.

"Well," Makoto spoke up. "It's one way to get your attention, Usagi!" she shrugged. "Or so I've been told."

"I don't exactly approve," Added Ami. "But it is necessary sometimes" Ami blushed a little after saying that and she was glad that no one noticed.

"Just be glad that you're not in England, Usagi," Mina said, cheerfully. "I don't think you and a cane would get along very well" Usagi, Ami, and Makoto shivered at the mention of the word 'cane'. Remembering what happened couple of years ago, Mina quickly said: "Ooopss! Sorry guys, I forgot.

Usagi turned to face Rei. "Well, Rei, nothing to say? I bet you can't wait for this."

"Well if anyone deserves a spanking it's you, Usagi." Rei so said matter of factly. "If you got one for all the times that you needed one, you'd be sore for a year!"

There was no way out of this. Usagi saw that. "Well fine!" She spoke up trying to sound indignant. "So how are we going to do this, Rei?"

Rei turned to Usagi and surprised her "I am not the one who'll be spanking you. Not that I wouldn't like to."

This startled Usagi. "Well if it's not you than who?" She looked around the room "Makoto?"

The brown haired titan shook her head. "Nope not me" She hid her grin at the look of relief on Usagi's face brought on. Being the strong girl is a royal pain sometimes.

"Mina?" Usagi asked. She also shook her head.

"Don't look at me, Usagi. Besides I have a more British nature for that sort of thing. And, with a knack for getting into trouble almost as bad as you, why tempt fate."

This was getting weird. That left only one other person. "Not you, Ami."

Ami shook her head real fast. "Oh no, not me Usagi. I just could not."

Ok. That's four up and four down. "Then who is going to do this to me?" Usagi asked dreading the answer. She then gasped. "Not Mamaru!"

"Nope," Rei said. "We decided to do this Silver Millennium style"

Now Usagi was really confused. "And just what does that mean?"

"Well. You are a princess" Rei explained, "And we were and still are your court. And since royalty can only punish royalty…"

Usagi blanched. "You mean ALL of you are going to spank me?"

Rei shook her head again. "While that's tempting, nope."

Usagi was starting to get annoyed with the whole thing. "Then what do I do, Rei, spank myself?" Ami then spoke up.

"Actually royal courts usually appoint a person to discipline its members." she said though somewhat hesitantly. "And, according to Artemis, we had one in our previous lifetime too." Ami's voice dropped. "And she is on her way."

Usagi thought for second. We had one? Now who could Ami be talking about. Then it hit her.

A flash from her previous life as Princess Serenity, when she was about eleven or twelve. A series of pranks she pulled that got out of hand. A saddened Queen Serenity telling her that she must be punished for her misdeeds. Her court being sent away for the day as her punisher arrived. First greeting her mother and turning to her, eyes full of intent. She remembered feeling very small compared to the tall, strong ,blond with short cut hair.

Usagi blinked back to the present. A look of pure terror crossed her face "No Way!" She said, head shaking. "NO Wayy! NO Wayyy! Not her! Not Haruka!"

No one said a word. Haruka Tenoh, Sailor Uranus, was one of the Outer Sailor Soldiers. Physically stronger than Makoto, Usagi knew she was in for it. And, as if on cue, there she was at the door. "Hello everyone." she said softly Then to Usagi "Hello Princess." It was all Usagi could do to stay on her feet.

At Death Busters HQ, Mimete was just about to knock on the door to the Professor's office, when it suddenly flew open. A hand grabbed her arm. "Come in, Mimete."

For a few seconds there was just the sound of a lecture as the rest of the Witches 5 gathered around the door. Then the sound of wood connecting with flesh filled the air. A chorus of hand smothered laughter joined it.

Mimete was over the Professor's lap. Skirt up and her panties down at her ankles. The little orange-blond was trying her best not to shriek out as the brush danced across her rear. "This will teach you to pay more attention to my lectures, Mimete." he said with his eerie monotone voice while the brush cracked away.

Mimete was crying out with each! "I am sorry! EEEKK! I won't do it again! AYYEEE! AAAAAYYYYEEEE!"

"Yes, Mimete. I know that you are." The Professor agreed, "But this lecture is far from over." The brush kept going and going. Up and down Mimete's rear as the young villianess shrieked and yelped. Outside the office, the rest of Witches 5 were trying not to laugh too loud has Mimete yelled out a chorus of "It Hurts! It Hurts! It Hurtssss!"

For a good ten minutes the brush fell on Mimete. It probably would have kept going if not for an alarm sounding. Shooting to his feet, the Professor rose. Mimete fell to the floor. Insult to injury, she landed right on her rather sore backside. She practically flew back in to the air. As she danced around the room, holding her butt, The Professor found the next victim for a daemon attack.

Mimete was still hopping around the office when a swat to her rear painfully got her attention. "Mimete, pull yourself together!" Forcing herself to pay attention, but not stopping with rubbing her burning tush, Mimete listened.

"We have another person who has a heart crystal that we need." The Professor said. "I have things to attend to. Create a daemon and collect that crystal." The Professor's glasses and the weird light of the office gave him the appearance of a sick "happy face" "Fail me and you will be standing in class for the rest of the month!"

Mimete cringed. "Yes Sir!" As he left the office, the rest of Witches 5 tried to look nonchalant as possible. He paid them no mind. When he was out of sight, they looked in on Mimete. Still cradling her rear, she looked up. As one they burst out in to laughter.

Mimete grew red, embarrassment and anger danced on her face! She wanted to make a daemon. She really wanted to make one! A mean one! Looking over to the desk, she saw the discarded hairbrush. With a wicked grin she got an idea.
********

Back at the temple, Usagi was trying her best not to throw up. The very thought of being spanked by Haruka was making her feel faint. "Well Princess?" Haruka asked, giving her a stare.

No Way! Was the only thought in Usagi's mind. Just then Rei's grandfather knocked on the door asking if anyone wanted tea. They all turned for a second to politely decline. But when they turned back, Usagi had fled out the other door, down the stairs and down the street!
