Lost Little Kitty Kitty Rehab Chapter 3
Gathering in the lounge room under the 6 low energy lights and the smell of 'Garden Fresh' deodoriser from a little machine on the top of the bookcase, both of the pennies were facing their parents with different levels of concern. Arean's small tail was swishing back and forwards like a nervous snake, her ears lying flat as she tried to be as small and inconspicuous as possible. Mikan, against all reason was still bouncing and energetic - possibly from the playing outside just moments ago. Arean looked at her with some disbelief. It was as though she didn't even know she was about to get spanked.
Gloria was grinning as she continued her explanation. "Your special punishments are actually very important!" She explained to the two pennies as she sat down. "Law and culture dictate that you should be spanked, bared, embarrassed and treated like the little children you currently are. But at the same time there are more than just voluntaries in this neighbourhood!" Miikan piped in, having heard some of this speech before. "There's a Kindern next door!" she explains. "She's about four or five - I've seen her once or twice from a distance!" "That's right!" Ian put in, "And there are likely other Kindern your going to meet around town, and when you do we will expect you to both be on your best behaviour!"
"Kindern and pennies together isnt that strange!" Arean mumbled, "But then, I was a different case" she added in Jalaxian, getting strange looks from everyone else present. "Maybe so!" Gloria sighed and picked up the hairbrush while her husband spoke, "But this being a new colony we can't allow people to get away without being punished, and while it makes things a little more uncomfortable for everyone present having to take the punishments in-doors they need to be done!"
"Okay, lets get things started. This Arean is your very own hairbrush, it is only to be used on you. Miikan has one as well and we are going to apply this regularly to your bottom!" she explained. "I know, I get it. I lived in a P neighbourhood and I know how spankings work!" Gloria bit her tongue. She knew from what the corrections officer had said that Arean was going through a bad experience right now. Somehow the little kitten, shivering and twitching in front of her actually seamed to be holding it together pretty well, as long as she continued to do so she was under instructions to treat Arean gently but firmly and no better than she did Mikan.
'Maybe she could get away?' Arean was thinking. Her body twitched and twittered from the dwindling drugs in her system. Arean was unaware that she was muttering her thoughts out-loud in Jalaxian and it was only luck that neither of the parents present could understand her language well. They wouldn't have made much sense of it even if they could with sentenced being broken and unstructured. She was looking around herself nervously and not paying proper attention to the adults.
Because of this she wasn't prepared when Gloria grasped Arean by the wrist and pulled the young girl across her lap. Arean's furry rump was put on public display with the simple flipping up of a skirt. At five, nearly six biologically almost all of Arean's hind-fur had grown in, referred to by Jalaxians as P'Flar. The fur that was there though was extremely thing and would likely remain so for the entirety of Arean's sentence as Ian had a nice pair of electric clippers that could be used to crew-cut her bottom fur on a regular basis. Arean struggled and caterwauled as Gloria put her in position but the older woman wasn't having a bar of it.
"These spankings will do you good young lady!" she insisted then asked Ian to "Hold her legs dear?" Ian obliged cheerfully if with a worried smile as Gloria began applying the hairbrush liberally to the young Jalaxian's backside. She was dishing out a simply two stroke spanking, left cheek, right cheek, left cheek, right cheek and moving the brush around so that the pain was being spread out. With the thin layer of fur serving to insulate her tush, in much the same way panties do, properly reddening Arean's backside was going to take some time and over the next ten minutes Gloria dished out a full fifty strokes using the back of the brush, stopping every so often to brush the fur down with the other side of the brush, or to firmly move Arean's tail so that it didn't get hurt in the process.
By halfway through Arean's tirade of Feline howls subsided into sobs and she stopped struggling. Maybe it was by plan. Maybe not. As Gloria and Ian released the kitten she landed on the floor with all paws on the ground. "Your turn Dear!" "Thanks hun!" Ian responded.
Arean moved like lightning, faster than either of the humans could react to. Dropping down to all fours and tail high in the air she was out of the room in a heartbeat, both adults taking a moment to make sense of what just happened. Mikan frowned and shook her head as Gloria screeched out "She's Running!" Neither of them had expected such speed and while Ian was fast to follow he wondered if there was any chance of catching the stricken child.
Hunched over on all fours like that, Arean had a stride of easily a metre (2.5 Feet) and could easily outflank him! She was however not moving at her best. Ian mildly noticed as Arean went flying out the rear door of the house that she didn't even stand upright or try to open the fly-wire door, instead banging into it and popping it open. He winced but kept chase. Arean clearly wasn't thinking right - this wasn't a sane attempt at escape.
Out in the backyard, Arean was aiming for the fence. The back fence of the house was about 5 foot high and opened out onto a beach, not only that but there was a gate in the back fence specifically to make use of this. When Arean and Mikan had settled in a little better they would have been given permission to go onto the beach - but until then the gate was keyed to Ian and Gloria's thumbprint and would only open with their permission.
For Arean this wasn't a problem. Reaching the fence the feline crunched her body up and sprung, hands easily catching onto the top of the fence and legs scrabbling on the cement to propel her-self up and over. Ian took the easy route, at a touch from his hand the gate unlocked and swung outwards, making up for precious time. On the other side the little feline was sprawling, covered in sand and unable to get a stable footing. In moments Ian was on her, pinning Arean to the ground.
Gloria and Mikan followed at a more sedated rate, looking around the fence moments later as Ian tried to hold on to a struggling and kicking feline while keeping away from Arean's claws. Her eyes were wild. "vejulua." she cried out in strangled Jalaxian, "Please! Asua, It hurt!" Her pleading eyes turned to find Mikan and the little Innu girl cowered, hiding behind Gloria. "She's going to get in trouble, isn't she." Mikan asked. Gloria pursed her lips, she hesitated, then giving Mikan a gentle shove told her "Go back inside hun!" before putting wading in the fray and attempting to help her husband drag Arean back into the house.
Once they were inside Gloria released her charge to lock the back door, and even though Arean got free for a moment this was enough to keep her in. Even without security locks Arean didn't seam to have enough of a mind left to figure the door out. "According to the officer who dropped her off, the drug carnima that she has in her system causes paranoia, hallucinations and messes with the senses. She probably isn't even sure what's going on right now - I can understand her being scared!" "How much did they say was in her system?" Gloria prompted. Ian shrugged at that.
Apparently enough to keep an adult nicely 'buzzing' for hours, but since the rejuve her body is no longer used to it. They flushed a lot of it out of her system as best they could but now that her body has absorbed what they couldn't get rid of... Well." Gloria nodded and looked at the little Jalaxian girl, who was kindly putting scratch marks on the door as she looked at the adults with wide eyes. "She's going to get worse before she gets better!" "Yeah."
Ian tried to dodge Arean's claws and he grabbed Arean by the arm and frogmarched her to her room, commenting about "Having to find clippers." to Gloria. Once she was in her room Gloria noticed that Mikan was nowhere to be found. She didn't totally blame the little inu girl but it concerned her. Since coming into the Bears' family Mikan had stayed close to Gloria and fretted about being left out of Gloria's sight. Disappearing now, well, Gloria wanted to disappear now that she was seeing the effects of the drugs on the black furred girl. Anything had to be better than this, she left Arean cowering in the corner of her bed to find their youngest again.
Arean wriggled and cringed on the bed where Gloria had left her. She could vaguely understand what the human's were saying but her mind was drifting out of reality. They were here to hurt her, this was fact. That was their sole purpose in Arean's head, torturers. It was barbaric, they were so big. She feared that she was getting smaller and smaller, not just the height of a five year old but a three year old. No a two year old! That had to be it, these big ominous figures, something had gone wrong with the rejuve and she was still getting smaller and younger and rather than doing anything about it these monstrous humans were just going to abuse her and punish her!
She didn't even mind the spanking, except that she did, but if she were being paid to do something it would be different. She would have control, or at the very least she would have money. The room was so dark; she couldn't smell anything but she suspected it smelled terrible, black and white figures moving about in front of her.
"Should we still spank her like this?" Ian wondered. It probably wasn't wise. Downstairs Gloria looked around in the kitchen. As she had suspected Miikan was hiding under the kitchen table. Sighing, the young woman got down on her knees and clambered under the table with Miikan, half heartedly saying "May I come in?" The 6yo shuffled aside but continued to hug her legs.
They sat in silence for a while. "Arean's in a lot of trouble isn't she." Gloria sighed at this response. Mikan, for all that she had lived on the street was essentially a good kid with a big heart. Seeing somebody hurting like this was not going to be easy on her.
"Yes." Gloria responded. "She is, and she may be in more trouble than she knows!" Gloria pulled Mikan into a hug. "You see, your new sister was hanging out with some really not-nice people before she was rejuved and she's taken drugs. Chemicals that affect the mind! The rejuve has helped her a bit but little Arean is very sick right now and until she gets better she is going to need a lot of support and help!"
Mikan nodded at this. She didn't resent that Gloria was talking to her childishly; Mikan knew vaguely what drugs were but had not really been interested in trying them, not to mention she couldn't have afforded to waste money on them. Money had been rare in her life. Mostly she had stolen food, or stolen things she could sell to get food. Arean clearly had had it better than Mikan to have so much money but seeing the screeching feral child a moment ago left Mikan wondering if it had been worth having that much money.
"She needs help." Gloria prompted. "I need your help." Rubbing Mikan's shoulder she tried to think what to say. "Ian and I can't be up there all the time. It may take her a couple of days till these drugs are out of her system. Can you go up there and keep her company for me?"
Mikan didn't respond at first but with a tug on her arm as Gloria got out from under the table Mikan followed. "What Arean is going through is kind of like having a fever!" she explained. "You're going to need to keep her cool, and help her to feed herself. Myself or Ian will be there with you as much as possible but she doesn't trust us yet."
"She doesn't trust me at all!" Mikan mumbled. "No, but she can. Your a child like she is, she's less likely to be afraid of you. Plus, I heard about how you were with the other rejuves at the centre. I think you'll be good at this."
