I'm making a comeback! Sorry for taking so long my computer was all screwed up and I couldn't type anything. I'm making several updates in my stories stay tuned. There's a flashback in this chapter I'll say when it begins and when it ends. Bad language in this story, beware. A little O.C.ness. Also I'm sorry but I'm only doing one of things for Gray's things to do in Ch.4.

Ch.4 Ass-Whopping'

"Here let me get some more ice for it." Kai said as he put a bag of peas on my new black eye. We were at his Lodge talking about my shiner. I told him all that had happened after he saw me running like hell.

"So how did you get that shiner again?" Kai asked.

I sighed. I thought back to that night.

XXIX Flashback Begins XXIX

I realized I had forgotten all about Mary, and I felt a guilty. So I started running like frightened little boy I was toward her house. When I got there I was knocking like a madman. Then stood evil himself. A large towering figure was standing before me. He glared at me with tremendous hate.

"What are you doing here boy?" He asked in a gloomy voice.

" I, um...I want to see Mary because I kinda ditched her at the last minute and I feel really bad. I want to see if she is okay.

" You know, you broke her heart, you know that. She's crying her little eyes out. Poor girl."

"I kind of suspected that." I put my hands together in a pleading way. "Can I please see her, I want to make amends."

He rubbed his temples with his large hands. He looked like he was pondering the thought. "Sure why not. I don't see the harm."

"Really?"

"Actually I do!" BAM! I saw his manly hand come but didn't dodge it. I flew like 5 feet and landed on my ass! Damn! That man can punch. If I was watching this, that would be Fucking cool. But when in a fight and your getting your ass kicked, all you can think about is the pain you are about to receive. Damn!

"Damn, what was that for?" I felt blood. I felt my nose. Shit!

"Do you actually think I'm going to let you speak to my daughter, after what you did?" Hell yes!

"No." He picked me up by the collar of my shirt. Quiet easily in fact. We were so close that are noses were touching each other. I could see sweat forming in his brows. His mussed brown hair poking from beneath his hat. I was being held up by his large muscular arms. I hate to admit it, but he's kinda cute. Damn I'm gonna get my ass kicked by Basil!

Basil threw a few more punches toward my face and a few others toward my gut. I now had a huge blackish-purple shiner on my right eye. My lip was so puffed up that I couldn't even scream in agony. I felt my gut was on fire from the punches that landed there. To top it all off, I had this massive migraine which hurts like hell. Call me a wimp, but that damn, that ass whuppin' hurts. Shit.

" If I ever catch you doing more than just looking at my daughter, then I'll give you another ass-whuppin. Worse than this one boy. Do you understand?"

I nodded my head. What more could I do. I mean my lips were too puffed for me to speak.. He let go of my collar.

"Here." He gave me a handkerchief. I used it to clean my face and to stop my nose from, bleeding. I gave it back to him.

"Sorry." He muttered just before he closed the door. I limped silently in shame to my grandfather's Forge.

XXXX The Forge XXXX

"I'm coming, I'm coming. Whoever's knocking you better have a good excuse or I'll kick your ass!" Great, I have another ass whoppin' to look forward to. And this time it's from an old fart like him.

He opened the door. His face looked so surprised. It was either because I was knocking so late at night or because my face was so messed up. It's the obvious choice, my face was all bruised looking.

"Gray come on in." I let myself inside and sat in a wooden chair next to the stone fireplace.

"Put this on your shiner." He gave me a piece of ice cold meat. I put it on my eye. It felt chilly but it gave my bruised eye relief from this beating.

"Let's look at your bruises." He carried me so easily to his bed. I sat on the plain white comforter. His room was disorganized. There were books on the floor. There were papers scattered on his sturdy wood desk. He tells me to be neat. Hypocrite.

During that night he nursed me back to health not once asking questions ( it was not like I could answer them.) About this incident. This was a side of my grandfather I have never seen. His fatherly side.

XXIX End of Flashback XXIX

XXXX Morning, The Next Day XXXX

"Gray, wake up." I felt two pair of wrinkly hands pulling me out of bed.

"W-whattttt?" I yawned. I felt a hard slap on the side of my head.

"Wake up, boy." Now he was shaking me. "Wake up, wake up, wake up."

"O-okay. Stop shaking me!"

" Gray, since you're now feeling better, I need you to tell me how, who, where and when you got your ass whipped yesterday. Now!" He shouted in a raspy voice.

"Gramps, you are not going to like this story, but here goes." I told him what had happened. That I had ditched Mary(didn't tell him why) and because of that I got my ass whipped.

"I can't believe you did that to that poor girl! Jeez don't you have any class."

"Grandpa, I..."

'Gray there is only one more thing I can say." He had a really serious look on his face.

"What Gramps?"

" Gray, Rodney King just called."

"Huh" What the hell?

"And said, Damn I thought I got my ass whopped!" He starts laughing loudly.

" I'm leaving, grandpa." Dumbass.

"C'mon Gray do you get it? I got that from one of my late night shows." He starts braying even more.

XXXX Kai's lodge XXXX

"So that's how I got here." I concluded. I was sitting in one of the tables close to the counter. Holding yet another piece of meat near my face.

" That sucks. And since when did your grandpa develop a sense of humor?" He was washing dishes in the sink.

"Kai." I gritted my teeth very aggravated.

"Okay, okay." He held up his hands in defense. He came over to my table without his dish. "At least the swelling is going down." He touched my face.

I can't explain it exactly, but at that moment I felt something from Kai.

"I guess. Hopefully the town won't find out."

" I don't know it's a small town. But Damn you got your ass whopped!" He smirked.

"Kai! I'll get you!" I ran over toward him. He started running away. I cornered him at a table.

"Are you sure you want your ass whipped again?" He starts chuckling.

"Shut up!" He chuckles even louder."

Friendship is a wonderful thing. But when does it turn into much more?

XXXX To Be Continued XXXX

Senorita is back after a long absence. I want to apologize for taking so long but seriously my computer was Fed up! I wanted to have Gray have his first kiss but after writing that ass-whuppin' scene it seemed it would be too much for a chapter.

1. I purposely put that Rodney King joke in there. I want to see if any of my readers know where it's from. It's from one of my favorite anime shows. In a review say from what show and who said it if you know.

2. "Sure why not. I don't see the harm" "Actually I do." In case you were confused. Basil was doing reverse psychology on Gray. Maybe he was a little O.C. In this chapter. Imagine it like this. If you found out that a guy ditched your daughter then have the nerve to come back wouldn't you kick his ass too. But not as much as Basil did it. Damn! Anyways hopefully after a long period of waiting that was worth it. Review, my loyal fans(hope I still have some)

P.S. If I overdid the ass-whuppin' part just tell me and I'll change it.
