Summary: I felt my cheeks flush and held in a gasp when his eyes suddenly narrowed and changed to the color of a deep, dark, purple. His voice was husky, like he was mentally preparing himself for a battle, yet at the same time, the tone was…passionate.
Chapter Six: Discipline
Rating: K

Ryoga wailed and banged his small, two year old fists on my chest, pointing to the small boy that stood nervously across from us.

"Ranma!" The volume of my voice was shocking, even to me. "What did I tell you about picking on smaller children?"

The six year old gulped and tried to make a fast break for it, but his small body twisted around awkwardly and I was able to pull him back to me by the scruff of his shirt. I hurriedly pulled him over my knee and spanked him, making sure to pull the hits just before they reached his body. He screamed and called me names, tears escaping his eyes before I finally released him. Without another word, I stood and carried Ryoga into the living room where I set to calm the baby down.

It was several hours before Ryoga finally quieted and fell into a deep nap. Kasumi took him from me and put him up in her room so he could rest peacefully. I leaned on the dining table, exhausted and about to fall asleep myself when small arms latched onto my lower back, trying to wrap around my waist.

I looked back and smiled down at Ranma, who still had small tears leaking from the corners of his eyes.

"I'm sorry."

His apology made my smile waver a bit. I reached back and pulled him into my lap, allowing him to grip my shirt tightly as he nuzzled his face against my chest.

"I'm sorry," he said again, though his voice was a bit muffled by my shirt. I hugged him tightly and rubbed my head against his, cooing in soft voices as he slowly fell asleep in my arms. I breathed deeply when he did and pulled him up to let his head rest on my shoulder, rubbing his back in small circles.

"Me, too."

Yeah, yeah. Not all fluffy duffy like some of the others, I know. But I think it's cute, and wanted to share it with you all. Plus its been ages since I uploaded a chapter to this story, haha.
