Chapter 5 - The Buddy System.

Mitchel is up early due to a grumble of his stomach. He strips down, putting the pjs beneath his pillow as he doesn't want them taken away, and then dresses in a fresh pair of panties, another shirt, and skirt as modest as he can get, which isn't much, then he heads off to get breakfast. Being hungry he takes his time in the cafeteria and eats a meal that could have fed him and his sisters. Once he has finished and cleaned up he heads to Ms. Nightfang's office.

Ms. Nightfang looks up as Mitch enters her office, already seeming to be in a bad mood. "I was expecting you Michelle." She says, her dark tone of voice confirming that isn't all that happy.

Mitchel frowns at being called Michelle, then moves to sit in the chair opposite the bat, saying nothing as she starts right in on him.

"You seem to have some big misgivings about how I do things." She says, watching him with a slight glare. Taking in every move he makes from the door to the chair in front of her. "I talked with my daughter Rhapsody last night about you, and ended up watching the video from the hall with your talk with Sam afterwards. You fail to realize or remember that your current state of dress WAS your choice by two accounts." She has been thinking this over last night. "First of all, did you or did you not say you knew better then I how a lady dresses?" She asks as she looks to him.

Mitchel says softly, "I was wrong to say that."

Ms. Nightfang nods softly but continues. "Wrong or not, you DID say it. And thus I provided you with clothing so you could show the rest of us how ladies are supposed to dress. Second. Did you or did you not AGREE to wear them when Cyko came to you presenting my offer?"

Mitchel frowns again, completely disagreeing with that point, she gave him a very limited selection of clothing, that he didn't pick, meaning he doesn't get to show anyone anything but what the bat and his mother wanted him to wear. Still, at the second part he says, "My options were that or nudity, which would have just gotten me punished further."

Ms. Nightfang seeing his frown she repeats in an amazing mimicry of the otter's voice, it seems to be a trait that runs in the family. "My mom would never let my sisters dress like that." Sounding almost as if she was playing back a recording. "You apparently know better about how a lady dresses through your experiences of what your mom would and would not allow. So you got exactly the type of clothes she allowed your sisters to wear when they were your age." She states and the moves on to his comment of nudity "And No, you wouldn't have. Nudity WAS the punishment. I know how kids are with strong senses of modesty. So having to walk through the school naked to my office would have been enough punishment for you in my eyes. And even if you didn't like either option there was still a third of refusing either option and continuing your silent protest of moping in your room and not eating. You DID choose what you wanted to do." Mitchel frowns further at that, but stays silent.

"I have always given you choices. It was your choice not to paw off the first day. I didn't force Sam on you: I gave you the choice of accepting her or waiting further without release, which would have lead to a greater reward. Then you made an ass of yourself, and continued to do so. It was your choice to get dressed or not or continue to stay in your room. You chose to get dressed because I offered a reward for doing so. You may not like the choices, or think they are limited. But they are there. You feel pressured but there will always be choices, more then what are presented. There is very rarely a point when a person literally has NO choice in the matter." She states, as showing off what Rhapsody told him last night: Selene has her own rules and views.

"Yes. I made an ass of myself." Mitchell says as he stands up, "I shouldn't have been mean to Sam, I shouldn't have judged you for how you dress, nor said mean things to you. I was only thinking of my own frustration, and taking everything that was happening as some sort of joke against me. So I am sorry for that. I came in here to apologize to you for how I have behaved since getting here." He takes a breath, clearly having more to say, but he pauses to give Miss Nightfang a chance to respond if she wants to. When she simply nods, Mitchel decides to continue. "That doesn't mean that I like how you do things. You say you give choices, but you manipulate people so that the choice you want them to make seems like the only one available. Don't even try to lie and say it isn't."

"I don't consider it manipulation." She states simply, but isn't arguing. "The choices are there, and yes I will reward a person when the make the choices I want, but I don't punish them if they do not. Remember the only punishments so far have been due to the students' own fault." She says as she looks to the boy with her deep amethyst eyes. She's very calm as she explains her ways. "You insulted Sam, so now you must suffer a similar insult before you can cum. You insult how I dress, now you're forced to wear your sister's clothes. Francis insulted the other students by saying they were pussies, so I gave him one. Those are the bad choices I punish."

Mitchel frowns again, "So how long do I have to suffer punishment for the bad decisions I made?"

"Until I feel that the lesson is learned." Her reply simple and blunt. "I can however be flexible in some of them and can be talked into reconsidering. It's not always easy, but it does happen. AS you may or may not remember: I told you last night that you and Francis are 'linked' now. This both good and bad. Most students end up pairing up with someone. When they do I decide that they reflect on each other, to help both weather both the good and the bad. I am sure you see that there is merit in having someone you like and relate to being there for you when your suffering a punishment to help make things less severe or to enjoy rewards when they are presented to you."

"Ever since you met Francis your mood has taken an upswing. If only you'd met him earlier then maybe you wouldn't be wearing your sister's clothes." She continues, not being threatening as she states both facts and theories. "Though I can unlink you two, if you feel I am forcing this. Though do keep in mind every choice will have consequences and no "Not being allowed to see or be with him" will not be one of them." She says seeming to preempt a possible though of Mitchel's.

Mitchel says, "Cyko is a friend. Everyone seems to think that he and I are dating or something. We are JUST friends, he isn't gay, and neither am I." He says trying to remain calm, feeling like everyone is trying to push him with the hedgehog.

"This is nothing about relationships." Miss Nightfang says with a minor sigh. "This is simply about if you want him to support you during your time here at my school. Wither you remain friends or indeed end up dating, and before you say anything it's happened to previous students so I am only saying that there is some precedent for it and not implying that it will, has no effect what-so-ever on this choice. "

"So let me see if I have this right... if we are 'linked', then that means if he gets punished, so do I, and vice versa?" Mitchel asks, trying to understand this.

"No, not exactly. You are on the right path though. For example if you were around and linked to him when he made his pussy comment you wouldn't both have pussies. And the same would happen if he was around our you insult to Sam or me, he'd neither be barred from cumming or have to dress like a girl. You would have a choice in sharing in the punishment and lessening its severity or length." She says explaining the process out in full. "But there is something much grander to it." The older bat woman smiles brightly. "If say you have been very obedient and Cyko gets into trouble, you can speak to me and lessen whatever punishment he gets and vice versa. It's not retroactive of course. But along those same lines if your both misbehaving to the point of being punished it will be worse for both of you, but the opposite is also true in that if your both good the rewards are better.

"Think of it like a buddy system that some schools have. The idea is that the two of you are simply meant to keep the other out of trouble as much as possible. As you've both already have had a positive influence on each other, I do feel this offer is in your best interest. I know you are going to feel manipulated, but I feel it's fair to let you know if you chose to do this, Francis has in fact queued up a benefit for you that effects something your mother and I discussed last night. He actually talked me into trading his reward for it."

Mitchel frowns as he thinks that through, "Can I talk to him about it before I give you an answer?"

"Yes, but One last thing, so you don't feel pressured. If you do refuse, his reward will be reinstated, but you will have to deal with the rest of the consequences from your choice. Remember every choice you make, will have some form of repercussions. And no nothing bad will come of taking time out to talk with him."

"What... what reward did he give up?" Mitchel asks curiously.

"Remember how I said last night, that I rewarded you both for coming to me, on top of punishment for taking so long to decide to do so?" Miss Nightfang asks with a soft smile.

Mitchel shrugs, "Kind of..."

Miss Nightfang sighs. "You're reward was him being able to allow you to cum, but your punishment is that he can only say the code phrase when he sees you dressed. Cyko got his own version of that, I didn't and still won't say what either are. Just know that last night he came to me and we talked. At the end of it, he agreed that if you agreed to being linked he would give up his reward to make something I have to do you later more tolerable. I will not state what that is either, as you should know from last night."

Mitchel blinks, "Something you have to do to me... How am I supposed to know what that means... all my mom told you to do was make me act like less of a boy and keep me out of her hair, right?"

"You are forgetting the last thing she told me over the phone last night, not that I blame you as you seem to take the shock of her not wanting you very hardly. And I will not tell you what any of this is, because if I do; you will complain about being manipulated." She says, already letting him see one of the choices he made. "You know that there will be a reward if you chose to link with him and a consequence if you choose not to. That is all the info you will get from me about to keep my 'manipulations' to a minimum. You might learn of them from Francis if you still wish to talk to him about all this before choosing."

Mitchel nods and sighs, standing up to leave. Miss Nightfang smiles and waves before the boy leaves. She never seems to make anything easy for him. After exiting her office, Mitchel heads about doing some choirs in keeping his room clean, giving himself time to think before trying to find Cyko at lunch.

---

As Mitchel enters the cafeteria, Cyko is seen sitting by himself at lunch. It's his usual routine as he refuses to sit with guys that only want his pussy or girls that want him be more girlish. Mitchel also notices that Rhapsody is sitting by herself away from the others, in her corner of the room that always seems to be dark, regardless how well lit the rest of the place is. It takes a bit more time to see Sam, who is eating with a group of other rather pretty girls.

He gives both the girls a polite nod, not wanting to be seen as rude as he grabs his food. Both Sam and Rhapsody respond in their own ways as they notice Mitchel. Sam smiles sweetly to him, seeming to have mostly forgiven him after their talk last night. While Rhapsody just nods a bit to him in return. Neither seem to mind the otter not being more friendly with them, though Rhapsody's eyes seem to follow Mitchel's every movement, thought that might be his imagination. After he has his tray filled, Mitchel makes his way over to sit across from the black and purple hedgehog.

Cyko smiles softly and look up to Mitch as he sits down "'ey mate. What's up? 'ad a chance to talk with the Qu..." he pauses and shakes his head. "'eadmistress yet?" It's clear he's trying to be nice about her. Wither its honest or because Rhapsody is in the room is hard to tell.

Mitchel nods slowly with a slight frown on his face, "Yah... as soon as I saw her, she started chewing me out for last night."

Cyko nods softly "Yea, she can be rather 'eavyhanded iffn she has sumthin to say. I thin it was cause of 'er daughter. Something seemed to gravely disturb 'er last night... made 'er go all 'emo'. Mizz Nightfang always seems to get moody whan tha 'appens mate. Prolly not yer fault, just the bloke tha walked in ta it."

Mitchel nods slowly, trying not to think of his talk with the black bat last night, then says, "She said that you gave up a reward to keep me from being punished or something... what happened?"

Cyko nods. "Yea, last night after ya left I went back ta my room and started to thin' about iffn thar was anythin' I could do fer ya. It came ta me after awhile. Went back to 'er and talked some, called my folks as well. 'ad to lie ta them a bit, but was fer the greater good..."

Mitchel blinks, "About what?"

Cyko blinks and blushes brightly in return, kinda not hoping he'd ask too many questions... "Well... ta convince them I 'ad to tell 'em sumthin' tha would make them interested in ya... And well... what came out was that ya were my girlfriend..." He says and lowers his ears, it's clear he's not proud of it, but seems to be something he was pressured to come up with.

Mitchel blinks and splays his own ears, "Your what?"

Cyko sighs "As I said, I 'ad ta tell 'em something! And well... I couldn't very well convince 'em to spend money on 'a bloke I've only known fer a day or two.' I kin always tell 'em later it didn't werk out."

Mitchel frowns, "Dude, neither of us are gay."

Cyko nods and sighs more "Yah... 'ence why I said 'girlfriend'... They know sum of tha girls here, are kinda tha opposite of my um... setup... As I said, I'll just tell 'em later it didn't work out. I'm shure nuttin will come of that little lie..."

Even Mitchel realizes those are famous last words as he snaps out testily, "Yah, unless Ms. Nightfang decides to take your words at face value and makes it happen."

Cyko narrows his eyes a bit. "Dun get like tha'! I gave up sumthin very important to even allow this, mate!" He says with a mix of frustration and anger. He honestly did do this with the best of intentions, and he really did give up probably one of the best rewards Miss Nightfang could have offered him, to do this. "What yer mum wants fer ya is much worse then what I 'ave ta deal with without my reward..."

Mitchel sighs softly as he calms down a bit and then asks quietly, "What did you give up?"

Cyko sighs and leans up to whisper in yer ear 'Mizz Nightfang used 'er powers to hypnotize me, so tha iffn I ever have sex my mind will still think I am male." So by giving up his ability to still feel like a guy when it comes to pleasure he protects the otter's ability to orgasm.

Mitchel rubs his temples, having no clue what to do about all this, and looks across the table to Cyko, who just sighs and leans back in his chair, pushing his food to the side having apparently lost his appetite. Mitchel would do the same, but having already had a day without food, he needs to eat, so he picks at his meal quietly.

Cyko leans forward once more "Accept or refuse, its yer choice mate. Either way it seems like one of us gets a down side. I just want things ta be easier fer ya then they were fer me." The punk hedgehog says with all honesty.

Mitchel nods slowly, "Thanks." He says as he finishes his meal, then sighs and adds, "Well, time to go face the music, huh? Let's just hope that this doesn't blow up in our faces."

Cyko nods as he gets up to decide to join him. As the pair passes Rhapsody she looks to them. If they didn't know better the look she gave them could almost be mistaken for being pleading "Remember, Mother only does what the Parents agree on..." She says trying to infer to them that what Miss Nightfang does isn't because she's trying to be mean or cruel, and not to hold it against her.

Mitchel mutters, "Yah, but only as she sees fit." He says and then heads to Ms Nightfang's office, being followed close behind by Cyko, who remains quite until right outside of the Headmistress' office.

"Not that it matters, I know my Da' an' he wants grandkids... so this will work. I know it." He smiles, seeming proud that this is going so well.

Mitchel blinks at that, "Wait... what? Grandkids?" he asks just as Miss Nightfang opens the door.

Cyko would say more, as he thought the otter knew; they both heard Miss Nightfang say his mom didn't care what happened as long as he didn't knock anyone up. But before he can say any more Miss Nightfang opens the door and ushers them in, using their hated names of 'Michelle and Francis' as she welcomes them.

The elder bat takes a seat behind her desk as both boys take the seats they had the night before. She smiles softly to Mitchel as she asks "So have you decided what your choice is? Hopefully without feeling manipulated by anyone?"

Mitchel frowns at the bat as she says that, still thinking she is being petty about the 'manipulated' bit, as uneducated is more dangerous than informed. "Yah."

Of course to Miss Nightfang, she sees this as a double edged sword. She allowed Mitchel to talk and gather all the information he wanted before coming back here. She didn't demand an opinion without any information. But had she told him plain out 'Accept and you'll have to be Cyko's Girlfriend but refuse and you'll be a eunuch for the rest of your life' Mitchel would have definitely felt like she was forcing the choice on him and thus manipulating him to the choice he think she wants for him. "So, what will it be. Yes or No?"

Mitchel looks up to Miss Nightfang, and without any hesitation he simply replies, "Yes."

Miss Nightfang nods and smiles brightly "That is very good, and the best choice as I really didn't want to go the other route." She says and then sighs "However Mr. Hedge had his own stipulation to this, he doesn't want to interfere with another parent's wants but is paying for a very special graduation present." Whatever joy she seemed to have from the boy's choice has drained from her face now. "Unfortunately I am still going to have to castrate you Michelle, as per your mother's orders. HOWEVER." She makes it VERY CLEAR that there is a very big but in this, wanting to do her best to make the boy understand this. "Mr. Hedge will, and I quote so you don't get the wrong idea 'Fund to have Francis' girlfriend's balls restored upon graduation.'" She does leave out that they won't be Mitch's original balls because she figures that is both a given and less important to fact that this ISN'T permanent like it would be if he had refused.

Mitchel's jaw goes slack and he pales beneath his dark fur, shivering in fear at those words, "Wh... what?" He stutters trying to find the words as for the second time in so many days his world shatters beneath him.

Cyko has nearly the opposite reaction. He clenches his first tightly as his eyes almost look they they've turned bright red. He is struggling to not just pounce and beat the shit out of the headmistress. "This isn't tha deal we agreed too!" He growls.

"Mitch's mother doesn't want him getting anyone pregnant. As such that means he will have to be castrated. However, Francis convinced his father to let him keep them in exchange for losing his own reward. But as I said, when I told him what Mitch's mother wanted, he wasn't going to override what another parent is paying for and instead is paying to have you 'unfixed' when he graduates. At most Mitchel will only have to have a few years without them, rather than the rest of his life." Miss Nightfang explains as calmly as she can to the boys. "Also If you attack me Francis, then I'll have you in the chair for a cliterectomy." She states bluntly, which seems to pause the hedgehog in his tracks for a moment.

Mitchel shakes his head, "No... you... you can't castrate me!" he stands up and backs towards the door, "There has to be another way! There's condoms... and birth control... and other things... you don't have to cut off my balls!"

The door is locked when Mitch tries for it, the handle barely turning no matter what he does and there doesn't seem to be anyway to unlock it. "This has already been decided." Miss Nightfang says more forcibly. Of course in this case it was Mr. Hedge that decided this, rather than Mitch's mom, but still it was decided by parents.

Mitchel whimpers, "Please... please don't do this, Mom couldn't have said to castrate me... there has to be another way!"

Miss Nightfang says, "I am sorry, but there isn't." She replies, and then suddenly there is a flash of... what can be best described as Darkness...

In the moment that Cyko tries to pounce the elder bat the room grows dark around his seat. In that moment Rhapsody can be seen and grabs the hedgehog. "It is best if you do not stay, I do not wish to see both of you in trouble." The Young bat says and with another dark flash she disappears with Cyko, leaving Mitchel alone with her mother.

"It is not so bad" Miss Nightfang says as she sits down on her desk, seeming to ignore the sudden appearance and disappearance of her daughter and Cyko. She looks to Mitchel as he cowers in fear. "It's NOT permanent. You know I can change people's sexes. What makes you think I couldn't replace a pair of balls?" She says trying to calm the boy down.

Mitchel shudders, "You said it yourself... it's only going to be reversed if I am his girlfriend at graduation..." his voice is clearly trembling.

"Yes, and is fooling an old man two years from now, really the worst thing?"

Mitchel says one last time in a pleading voice, "Please don't do this..."

Miss Nightfang rolls her eyes some and replies with a sigh, as she results to plan B: Bribery, "How about this: Face this like a man and I will let you chose the clothes you want to wear. They will still be girl's clothes, as you at least need to look the part for photos and if there are any visitations. But they will be yours and not your Sisters'. Continue to refuse and I won't over look Francis' tantrum." She says as she lays down another choice for the otter.

Mitchel's shoulders fall and he hangs his head, the fight having left him when he heard his fate, and the flight gone now that he has no escape. He lets out a defeated sigh and mutters, "How do you face having your manhood cut off as a man?" in a half bitter tone.

"By knowing you still keep your Penis, and you'll still be able to cum, though it will be much thinner. It's not really a big deal." She replies as she walks over to Mitchel and offers him a hand up.

Mitchel takes the hand timidly, "For all the good that does... I've heard about boys who lost their nuts... no interest in sex, can't get erections, they get chubby and girlish..." he frowns, starting to think that she must have somehow had this planned from the start.

"Yes, those can be true. But they are probabilities not facts. There is a decreased desire for sex, because one can no longer technically get blue balls, but of course your too young to be thinking much about Sex." She says with a soft giggle. "Erections can still happen, they can be harder to achieve and maintain, but with supplements both of those can be nixed allowing eunuchs healthy sex lives. The final one, comes from those that get lazy afterwards. If you just lay about an mope and not do anything you are going to gain weight quickly. But if you remain active, you'll continue to look boyish. Though you won't bulk up and look like a body builder. " She says as Mitchel goes quiet, not resisting, but clearly not wanting this in any way.

She takes him over to what looks like a Gynecologist chair, that certainly wasn't there before. "What would you say if I told you I grew up a boy?" She asks as she straps him into it to prevent him from escaping but doesn't make them uncomfortable.

Mitchel shudders as she starts to strap him down, "It wouldn't really console me... I've seen your daughter change on a whim."

"I'm not my daughter. I wasn't born with magic." Says as she lifts up Mitchel's skirt and pulls down his panties. "I was a male well up into my twenties." She explains as she fetches her tools." Mitchel shivers as his genitals are exposed to the air, squeezing his eyes shut.

"I also had parents that didn't give a damn about me. But I was adopted later on by a very wonderful Vixen. She is the one that ended up raising me, and who made me the woman I am today." She says with a bit of a giggle, not thinking he really cares, but she's trying to give his mind something else to focus on as she preps the area, starting with shaving the fur around there.

Mitchel has never had his scrotum, sheath, or inner thighs shaved before, so at first the thinks it is the knife, and his muscles go tense against his bondage, a soft whimper escaping his lips. "It's just a simple razor blade." She says seeing him tense up. "It's not going to be over that quickly, but if you relax and focus on something else you'll not notice how long it takes. Trust me." She says as she finishes with the shaving.

"Now, As I was saying," She says trying to make it clear she's trying to give him something to focus on other then the castration. "I had a mother much like yours, barely knew my father as he left us before I was old enough to walk. She only put up with me through moral obligation, as soon as she could she dumped me." She says, her voice becoming sweet and melodic very soft and pleasant to listen to if Mitch lets his mind drift.

Mitchel shivers, trying to ignore both what is happening, and the story, not wanting to empathize with the woman who intends to cut off his balls. Though she is also the woman that is promising to give them back, and has no real desire to do this. "If I had my way this would have been a simple injection or maybe a rub that would have simply turned sperm production off." She says with a bit of a sigh, but at the same time seems to have no problem doing this despite the gripes.

"It took me several years of being on my own before I found Diamiru." She says and pulls out the syringe. Luckily the boy's skirt is positioned to block his view of what she is doing. "She was really wonderful, the most beautiful vixen you'd ever seen and such an amazing Dancer. I swear she could work miracles with her dances." She murrs softly at her own thoughts and memories as she pricks each ball with a local agnostic.

Mitchel winces at each piercing of the needle, as let's face it, they aren't numb yet, and that hurts like hell all on its own.

"When she learned about my plight she took me in. I was raised as a regular boy at first until I started getting into destructive tendencies of my own and several bad relationships... Even ended up killing a person. I was only saved by her. We both realized something had to be done and I knew I was ruining my life as much as she knew it. So she began working with me to get me in touch with my feminine side, hoping that it might bring out a better me..." She says talking as she waits for the anesthetic to work, and then flicks the boy's balls to see how numb they are.

When she sees that he barely reacts when she flicks his balls, she knows that the orbs having gone quite numb. The boy continues to try to ignore her though shivering in his restraints, as she continues her story. "It started to work, as I did start to improve and be happier. She just... had a way with making me accept the changes..." She says with a wistful sigh as she takes the scalpel in hand and deftly starts to cut down the center of Mitch's scrotum. "Started with clothes and such and lessons of how to walk and talk properly..." She pulls out one testicle, pulling the cord tight, and then slices through it as high up as she can before depositing it into a little pan.

Mitchel can feel the sting of having his scrotum cut open, as muted as it is, then the lack of weight as his first testicle is removed, giving an audible sob at the sound of it dropping into the tray.

"Before I knew it really, Dia had transformed me into the daughter she always wanted, and I was happier than I ever realized. It was different for me, to me it was a fresh start with a mother that actually cared and loved me. It's also what inspired me to open this school." She says as she repeats the process with the other nut, and then cuts away the majority of the scrotum before using surgical twine to sew up the large hole leaving the otter with what looks like a little cleft under his sheath, and in the most surprising move, she leans down and kisses the wound making all the muted pain fade quickly. Infusing a bit of magic to the wound to help it heal faster. She plunks the remaining skin and testicle into the pan and puts it away into what looks like a fridge before undoing the straps.

Mitchel stays seated on the chair, breathing deep, half afraid to move, as though that will make what just happened really real. Miss Nightfang lowers the chair and helps him up. "I'll give you time to recover. Go to your room to sleep or go visit Francis. We can get your new clothes later." She says with a sweet smile.

Mitchel gets as far as the desk before falling to his knees and losing his lunch into the bat's waste paper basket.

Miss Nightfang hmms and watches Mitchel as he staggers over to the desk. "Least you made it that far. Good on you for actually not making a mess on my floor."

Mitchel wipes his mouth, then struggles back to his feet, not even looking at her as she says that. He sullenly trudges out of the office and back to his room, falling onto his bed once he gets inside and lose consciousness as he simply can't muster the energy to deal with anything else after that...
