Obedience Is A Virtue

Chapter Two: Embryo



His eyelids felt heavy, like they were being pulled back down with little strings whenever he tried to open them. His fingers and toes were numb, and a strange tingling sensation was present in his mouth. It was so dry, he felt like he hadn’t had anything to drink in weeks. Though he managed to open his eyes, and more importantly, keep them open - Joey was in total darkness. It was at this moment when he realised the situation he had gotten himself into.



Joey could tell he wasn’t wearing the hood any longer, but must have been wearing a blindfold of sorts. The gag had been taken out of his mouth, and to his surprise his arms and legs were left unrestrained. Lifting his numb fingers up to his eyes, he slipped the black silk blindfold down around his neck. Blinking reflexively from the sudden intrusion of light, it took Joey’s eyes a few moments to adjust, though the blur though he was relived to see he was no longer in a cold, white medical room. This new room was so unthreatening, he wondered if he had just dreamed being kidnapped. Though his nakedness made him think otherwise.



When his eyes readjusted, he looked around the lavishly decorated room. Shifting his weight slightly, Joey winced at a pain on his lower back. Though his mind wandered elsewhere, as soon as he realised that he was laying in what appeared to be a large wicker basket on the floor. In the basket were soft blankets and what appeared to be a rubber ball. Out side of the basket was a gold plated dog bowl that read “Joey”. His heart was racing slightly, Joey frantically looked for an exit. Spotting what looked to be an open window, he scrambled to his feet in an attempt to run towards it.



However, for reasons beyond Joey’s comprehension, as he jumped to his feet, searing pain shot through his lower leg and calf, making his legs buckle under him as he crashed to the floor. Whimpering in pain he pulled himself with his arms along the floor to a wall, which he leaned against it and tried to look at his legs. They seemed normal, except for two things. The back of his knees and heels both had tiny bandages on them, about the size of his thumb. The other was that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t force his legs to straighten, as they sat curled towards him at a 90 degree angle. It was a bit like trying to make your elbow bend the other way.



It wasn’t until Joey felt the same lower back pain as before that he noticed the oddest, and probably most terrifying thing of all. As he ran his fingers down his spine, he felt something quite un expected protruding from his coccyx’s bone. It was a tail. A tail similar to that of a golden retriever, with fine hairs the same shade of blonde as the hair on his head. It twitched and moved without his consent, and appeared to have been grafted to his bone.



“Is that my new puppy I hear?” Said a voice that called from the closed doors of the room. It was definitely Seto, he could never mistake that condescending tone, not after he had been on the receiving end of it so often. Joey looked around for a place to hide, though he knew it would do little good. Crawling on all fours, like he was sure Seto wanted, he crawled behind the thick red velvet drapes that cascaded down from the open window. It was a long shot, but if he was lucky, Seto would think he had gotten away, and run out to find him, leaving the door open.



Seto chuckled softly as he immediately walked up to the drapes and pulled them apart, smiling down at a naked and shivering Joey, who was trying to modestly cover his private parts. Joey looked up at Seto’s face. He always thought he knew the extent of Seto’s hatred for him - but this? This was something else. Seto joined Joey on the floor, sitting crossed-legged next to him.



“Silly pup,” he said, his hand reaching out and stroking Joey’s cheek, “You left your tail sticking out.” Seto’s eyes flicked towards Joey’s tail and grinned boyishly. Joey had never seen Seto smile like that before, there was no malice in his eyes. He was mad. That must be the answer, thought Joey. No one could treat another human like an animal and not be insane.



“S-seto…” whimpered Joey, trying to figure out the right thing to say. He didn’t want to mess this up and say the wrong thing that would only make his situation worse. He had read books on serial killers.



“Yes, boy?” Said Seto in a calm voice. Joey thrashed a little when Seto held him under his arms and tried to pull him closer to him, but Seto overpowered him and smacked his bottom once. Joey was humiliated, he had never been spanked before, and never overpowered so easily. He just felt so weak from the experience that his body felt drained. When Joey was in sitting in Seto’s lap, he was pulled close to his chest like a baby, while Seto stroked his back down his spine to the tip of his tail very gently. Joey would be lying if he did not admit he shivered a little from an unexpected pleasure, Seto‘s touch was so soft he didn‘t even feel pain. When Joey’s tail started to wag back and forth, Seto smiled.



“It seems you have forgotten what you were going to say, pup.” Said Seto, after Joey hadn’t answered after a couple of minutes of petting, “Which as just as well, because we have got to start your training as soon as possible. I’ve been dying to teach you how to be a good little puppy. You have been asleep for almost a week now.”



Had it really been that long? They must have drugged him after his operation to stop him damaging himself. It wasn’t until Seto’s fingers stop trailing down his spine that he caught on to what he actually said.



“Training? Seto, please, let me go. I swear I won’t tell anyone about this and…” Joey was cut off when Seto put a finger to his lips.



“Hush, now. The sooner you realise that you are not going anywhere, the better. Joey, I love you very much, and in time I know you will come to love me too. As your Master, your owner.” Seto cast his blue eyes into Joey’s brown, it was if they were compelling him to submit. “Now, let’s get started.” Placing Joey back on the floor, Seto got to his feet and walked towards the basket Joey woke up in. Leaning down he picked up the yellow rubber ball and brought it back, and placed it in front of Joey’s face.



When Joey merely looked up at him in confusion, Seto held it under Joey’s nose. “Go on, boy. Get the scent. We are going to play fetch. I figured your first lesson should be fun.” He said. Still unsure where his limits were and not willing to push the boundaries, Joey sniffed at the ball in front of him. He blushed from embarrassment and being reduced to this, the ball smelled like he expected it to, like rubber. When he had sniffed it for a little while, Seto rolled it across the floor and told him to go fetch.



The humiliation was to much though, and Joey couldn’t force his body to move. No only would he not be able to keep his genitals covered with his hands as he went to fetch the ball, he would be forced to crawl on all fours like the dog Seto wanted him to be.



“Come on, pup. Do I have to give you a spanking?” Said Seto, his lips curled into a frown, though his eyes were still surprisingly gentle. Though even the promise of a spanking couldn’t make Joey do that, he could take a spanking easily. “Very well, puppy. I didn’t want to have to do this on your first day, though I expected it.” Continued Seto, after Joey didn’t move and even refused to look at him.



Picking Joey up in his arms, and holding him over his shoulder, his hand placed on Joey’s ass for balance, Seto carried him over to a writing desk in the corner and sat him down on it. Joey blushed heavily as Seto arranged him onto all fours, his hands clasped behind his head, and his knees far apart. When Seto brushed Joey’s tail aside, he felt cool hair touching his exposed and vulnerable cock and balls, which were suspended just above the writing desk.



“Aw,” chuckled Seto, “If you aren’t the cutest little thing ever, I don’t want to know.” Seto the reached for Joey’s soft cock, stroking it slowly. When Joey bucked in defiance, Seto started stroking his spine and tail again, which drained him of his energy and made him feel weak and submissive to his touches. After a couple of seconds of Seto’s fingers pumping his dick, Joey started to get hard, moaning softly. Just when Joey was starting to feel really good, Seto pulled Joey’s dick and balls between his legs, and forced his knees together. Joey yelped in pain and surprise. “Wh-what are you…” but as the words came out, Joey heard a loud crack, followed by a feeling of sudden pain from his bottom and privates. Seto hand spanked him hard, catching both his member and ass at the same time. When Joey tried to move out of the way, Seto placed a hand on his back and held him down.



The spanking continued for at least ten minutes, by the end of which Joey felt like his behind was on fire, and tears streamed from his eyes, unable to get enough energy to overpower Seto. When it finally stopped, Seto kneeled so he was eye to eye with Joey.



“Now, I showed you Master can give rewards. I also showed you what I can do to bad puppies who misbehave.” His tone was serious, though not threatening, it was the tone you would take with a child who needed to learn a lesson, not just be afraid. “Now, tell Master you are sorry.”



Still whimpering from the pain, Joey hiccupped a few times before he could mumble a half-hearted “I’m sorry.”



Frowning, Seto said “No, no. That won’t do. Look at me, puppy. Look into my eyes and say, “I’m sorry, Master’. Like a good doggie.”



“I’m sorry, Master!” Hiccupped Joey, a little louder.



Seto smiled. “Good boy.” He scratched behind Joey’s ear softly. “Now, let’s try and play fetch again. Shall we?”

A/N: Phew! Tell me what you guys think! Poor Joey, he just doesn’t seem to catch a break does he? Now to answer a few reviews:



Invisible said: “I like it so far hope to read more about this ‘tail’” - I hope this lived up to your expectations!



Mermaid Ninja said: “Surely the gang won’t stand by while Jouno is being treated like that!” - While I don’t think this is the case with Joey’s friends. I’ve seen people be less than helpful towards their best friends when they need them the most. Though truth be told, I had an idea for this story, but with Joey’s close relationship with the gang, it would make pulling it off difficult. I tried bringing them into the story no more than necessary.
