New Life
#1 of Ronin Cruxis
Warning this story contains harsh punishment and nudity. If you don't like to read about a boy being punished for his crimes then this is not the story for you.
As he walks in a room with a large machine in the center, one of the technicians tells him to lay down on a table setup under the machine. "So, what's your name?" asked the technician as he readies the machine.
"I don't have a name."
"You don't have a name? What did your parents call you then?"
"I don't have any family." The technician looks at him shocked.
"Sorry I didn't know. Well at least you'll have a nice family after this." The technician then gestures to the others to begin the process of rejuvenating a 36-year-old lyconian into a 4 year old.
After the process, they place the child in a room where he was allowed to play until his new parents are here to pick him up. "Now do what ever you want in here while I go get your parents okay." As the technician walks away, the rejuvenated lyconian looks at him self in a mirror. He begins to examine every detail trying to remember what it was like to be a kid.
"Well, won't this be fun." he said as he begins to think of what his new life would be like as a muto. He knew as a muto he would be at the mercy of people who are to care for him and punish him for his crime. He liked the idea of a caring family, but people like that are hard to come by since you would normally get very strict parents for your first offence. The thought made his ears fold back and got him thinking of the fact that he never learned what a family really was.
"Is everything alright?" a technician asked as he tended to one of the machines nearby.
"Yeah I was just thinking about what's going to happen to me once my parents get here."
"Well you shouldn't worry too much. It's not as bad as everyone thinks. And someone your age shouldn't get too stressed out or you might do damage to your subconscious."
"By the way, I noticed that I'm smaller than I should be at six."
"Your four years of age. You were given a sentence of 7X4-9." The small pup was shocked that he was rejuvenated to that age.
"That seems kind of odd that I'd be this young for my crime and the number of cycles is kind of low."
"This is the court order. There's nothing that we can do about the age. You should be happy about the low amount of cycles." As the technician leaves, the pup worries even more, and begins to feel tired. He begins to lie down and is soon asleep.
"Here's the information on your new son Mr. and Mrs. Cruxis. Everything is ready; if you will just sign here, he will be off with a new family." said the technician as he hands two lyconians the papers for their son.
"Why is there no name here?"
"He has no name. He has been living in a church most of his life and no one knows where his parents or any of his family members are. Why don't you name him?" The two lyconians thought it over and decided to name him after getting to know him better. When they went in to get him, they see him nearly asleep on the floor.
"I guess he's tired from the rejuvenation process." the mother inugami said as she picks the sleeping pup up.
"Lets get him home and into bed. We can talk with him in the morning."
"Here's a number you can call if you have any questions. Take care."
When they get home, the tired muto begins to awaken and realizes he's at his new home. As he looks around his new father sees him awake looking around. "Welcome to your new home. My names Alex, I'm your new father. And the person holding you is your new mother Kira. How are you feeling?"
"I'm a little tired from the rejuvenation, but other than that I'm fine."
"Well, while you're awake why don't we show you around the house? Once we get to your room, you can sleep, but tomorrow we're going to talk to you about your crime and what to expect out of your new life with us." Alex said in a caring voice. They show the pup his new house and explain what he's allowed to do in each one. By the time they get to his room, he's already asleep again.
"Good night my son." said Kira as she turns the light off.
The next morning Kira went to awaken her sleeping son. When she enters his room, she sees him sitting up in his bed. "Morning sleepyhead. How do you feel?"
"I don't know. I've never felt like this before. It's like all my fears just disappeared." Kira smiled at his comment.
"That's what it feels like to be safe."
"But why do I feel safe?"
"Because you're with your family. Your suppose to feel this way." The pup looked at her with a puzzled gaze.
"Why don't we go down stairs for some breakfast before we talk about your new life." Kira then picked the pup up and took him down stairs. The small rejuve looked at the food and then felt worried. Kira noticed his worried state and hugged him to reassure that he'll be ok.
"What's wrong?"
"Last time I saw food like this, it was followed by bad news."
"What happened?"
"The church I was living at was moving locations and they could no longer support me, so I had no home at that point so to apologize they bought me a large breakfast." Alex then came walking out of the kitchen.
"We can talk more after breakfast." They then sat down to a breakfast of pancakes, bacon, eggs, toast and ham.
After breakfast they sit down in the family room to talk to their new son. "So, tell us about your self." Alex said as he sat on a chair on the opposite site looking toward the sofa where Kira and the pup was.
"What do you want to know?"
"Let's start with your crime."
"I was the hacker known as Wandering Crucifix. I hacked hospital databases looking for my parents in the beginning, but as time went on I began to play around with the police by hacking their computers and showing them where criminals were. They apparently didn't appreciate my help." The pup then notice the shocked faces on his new parents faces.
"Did I say something wrong?"
"Well, we're just surprised that you were Wandering Crucifix. How did you learn to hack like that?"
"I learned to hack from the church I lived at. Their pastor was a hacker who taught me the basics of hacking to fix some of the computers with data problems. Well, actually that was what he told me, later I found out the computers were stolen and he needed help getting past the firewalls and data locks the police set up." The lyconian paused as he noticed Alex's expression change.
"I guess one of those computers were yours."
"Well I think we learned enough for now, right Alex?"
"Yeah. Now lets talk about why you're here. You are here to relive your childhood and learn to grow to be a respected member of society."
"What he means is we are going to teach right from wrong and help you to not repeat your mistakes. But for now why don't you watch the holo while I talk to Alex okay." As they begin to leave the pup picks up the remote and turn on the holo to the history channel to watch his favorite show "Species of old earth".
After an hour, they returned to the pup seemingly mesmerized by the holo. "You seem to be enjoying your holo time." said Alex as he brings out a few papers.
"What are those?" the pup asked as he looked them over.
"These are schedules of how you'll spend your time in the house and this is some paper work we'll be doing to give you a name."
"What will my name be?"
"We're going to discuss that now. Is there a name you wouldn't mind having?"
"How about Ronin." The older lyconians just looked at him.
"Why Ronin?"
"Because that was the name of a brave soldier in the galactic enforcers that died to protect his family. And he told me before he died that his one regret was a fight he had with his family and he wanted to apologize to his parents for yelling at them." Tears came to the eyes of the lyconians and they just wrapped themselves around their new son.
"Ronin it is."
They spent a few hours getting to know each other and discussing the court sentence and how odd it was for Ronin to be rejuved to 4 instead of 6. After Ronin had lunch his new parents got up from the table. Now came the time that most muto dread, the first punishment, where their spanked with all their implements ten times.
"Well Ronin, it's time to show you how you'll be punished for the first week. After the week you'll receive most punishments when your bad." Ronin began to worry about what was going to happen, but that was matched by his curiosity of what the punishment would feel like.
"Go to your room and wait on your bed. And you wont need your clothing." Kira said as both parents began to walk away. Ronin slowly got up and started to go to his room worrying about what is to come.
When Ronin gets to his room he removes his clothing and sits on his bed as instructed. After a few minutes Kira came through the door with a few implements that made Ronin's heart sink. She then placed them on the bed for her son to see. The implements include a switch, a paddle, a strap, and a cane. "These are your correctional tools. They will be used on you when you misbehave. I know this will be tough but I'm going to use each one ten times plus any you earn by trying to get away or struggle too much." Ronin was beginning to tear as he heard her say that.
"Over my lap Ronin." Ronin did as he was told and she started spanking him with her hand at first. The first ten went by quickly, Ronin was sobbing a bit, and without hesitation Kira grabbed the paddle. WHACK. She just delivered the first of ten and Ronin began to howl with pain. One thing he wasn't told of was that Kira knew how to use a paddle to the fullest of its capabilities. WHACK WHACK WHACK. The next three came down hard and fast in a quick pace and the last few came equally as hard. She pauses for a moment and continues with the strap. The strap came down at the same pace as the paddle showing Kira wanted to get this over with almost as much as Ronin, who was crying harder than he ever thought possible. She then reaches for the cane as Ronin begs her to stop, which only caused her to tell him to be still or she'll use the switch before the cane. WHACK WHACK WHACK. With three strikes with the cane Ronin just lost it and became limp and passed out from the pain.
Ronin awoke to the soothing sensation of a warm bath, till he realized the heat relit the fire on his backside. But after a few moments he was removed and gently dried off. "You okay Ronin?" Kira said with obvious guilt from causing so much pain.
"I'm sore and tired."
"Alright then, I'll put you down for a nap and wake you for dinner." But before Kira help him into his cloths Ronin began to breath heavily as if he was being strangled. Kira noticed this and quickly gave him a mask that released a medical vapor that assisted his breathing. She then rushed Ronin into the car and began to drive to the hospital. Ronin was examined for a few minutes and was diagnosed with pneumonia.
When they got home Alex was waiting for them. "Is he alright?"
"Yes. But he has pneumonia. The doctor said to let him rest and give him this medication twice a day and he wants us to put an oxygen mask on his while he sleeps." Kira then puts Ronin in bed and slips a mask on him.
"Thank you mom."
"For what?"
"For caring." Ronin then falls asleep.
"Good night Ronin." she said as she kisses him on the forehead and turns of the light. Ronin finally had the family he always wanted and he knew that nothing could ever take that away from him.
