A/N: Happy New Year! I figured I'd start the year out with a nice easy chapter for you guys! I don't know how many more chapters I'll be able to put out but right now it seems like it will be at least a total of 50. I'm going to start wrapping things up, so there's going to be a lot of sex and a few more killings so please stay tuned to the wonderful life of the victims of Jojo. I haven't dedicated a chapter to anyone in quite sometime but someone (I have no idea whom it was) reviewed and their review really touched my heart as well as Jojo's so anyway check the end of the chapter to see if you know whom this person was. As always thanks for your wonderful reviews and be blessed. Lemon Warning! Should you feel the need to read the grimy dirty verson please go to my profile page and click on Chapter 32, because this is the clean version!

RmGuccione's Corner: I hope everyone had a good Christmas. I was out with the flu and am still getting over the last vestiges of it. This is a fun chapter and should brighten your spirits if your holidays were not up to par!

Here's hoping everyone has a great New Year!

Disclaimer: I don't own any of them; well I do own Miebi Kokushi and the infamous Jouyoku! Oh, and Loi and Nichi…hahaha!
Chapter 32: For My Friend, For My Lover

"You need to get Sango away from here!"

The Houshi sat staring at the Slayer. He wanted to believe that she had just reason for killing Ayame, but what could the reason be? How could she have attacked the sleeping girl in such a cowardly manner? Regardless of her reason, would he ever be able to see pass the innocent blood that now coated her palms? Hearing the Hanyou's suggestion the Monk turned his head in his direction and with his eyes he asked, why?

"Look, Kouga saw Ayame as his mate even though he had not mated her." He stated in a manner that said the Monk should have already known that.

Feeling movement from the girl in his arms the Hanyou glanced down and searched her face for some sign that she was about to awaken, but finding none, he continued, "regardless of what Sango's reason was, if it had been Kagome that she had done that to…I would gut her from the inside out!" He knew that was a harsh thing to say but it was the truth.

The Monk gasped as he turned his attention back towards his fiancé whom still sat as if frozen a few feet away from the woman she had just murdered.

"If I would do that to her, what do you think Kouga is going to do when he gets here?" Inuyasha finished as he stood to his feet and cradled the girl in his arms close to his chest as if he was soothing an infant.

He hadn't thought about that! He hadn't had time to think about that! Kouga would surely want revenge! Could he let the wolf do what he himself would no doubt demand had it been Sango on the other end of that knife? Feeling his heart began to beat once again with in his chest he nodded weakly towards the now standing Hanyou and turned his attention back towards the Slayer. "Yes Inuyasha, perhaps you are right."

He did want answers, so perhaps if he took her else where, to some place safe and quiet, perhaps he would get those answers…perhaps she would say something so profound that he would have no choice but to forgive her. That was his silent wish, anyway.

Standing to his feet he slowly stalked over to the slayer still crotched down on the floor. Standing there for a moment he just stared down at her. Part of him didn't want to touch her, but the bigger part of him that included his heart wanted more than anything to embrace her to hold her and tell her that it would be okay. It wanted to tell her that what ever this was, wherever this road would lead them they would face it together. He said nothing as he bent down and picked her up.

Turning towards the door he stopped but didn't turn around. "Inuyasha, I will not ask what or how you will deal with this situation, because honestly I don't really want to know, but however you handle this…what ever you have to do…I will forever be indebted to you." With that being said the Monk walked out the door.

A moment later the Hanyou still stood looking at the empty doorway as he heard the monk shout for the Neko Youkai, Kirara. That was a good question how was he going to deal with this? What was he going to do with the girls' body? What if Kouga came back before he could think of anything? 'I've got to stop helping people!' He thought angrily to himself as he heard a slight groan come from the girl in his arms.

"Inu…Inu…" she mumbled incoherently.

He of course was happy that she was finally waking up but now was just not a good time.

'Damn! Where is everybody!' He thought frantically as he paced the floor looking from the girl in his arms to the body of the female wolf youkai lying in the corner of the hut. He didn't want her to awaken to a sight such as this.

Stomping over to the door he stuck his head out looking for someone anyone that could at least watch over Kagome for a moment while he disposed of the body and cleaned up the mess left behind. "Shit!" He hissed not seeing anyone.

"Inu…Yasha"

Stopping his tirade he glanced down at the girl then quickly scooped up one of the many blankets that Kagome had brought back from her time and threw one over Ayame's body. After making sure that the body was fully covered he walked back over to the other end of the hut and sat down. "Oi, it's about time you wake up." He stated as calmly as possible as not to arouse any suspicions that anything was amiss.

Her eyes slowly opened at the sound of his voice. It took a moment for them to focus but once they did what she saw was a welcomed sight. Her Hanyou held her tightly with in his grasp. His golden gaze seemed to be smiling down on her. She herself as weak as she felt was able to offer him a reassuring smile as she weakly reached up and laid a small hand against his cheek. "Hey."

"Hey, yourself." He replied as he nuzzled into her touch. "I thought you were never going to wake up."

Clearing her throat a little she closed her eyes and leaned in closer to his chest, "can you hum another song for me?"

"You heard that?"

"Uhm, hmm"

He couldn't stop the rose color that covered his cheeks, "maybe later, but for right now I need you to drink something, okay?" He stated as he reached down with his free hand and scooped a cup of water out of the water bucket that the hag always kept in the hut.

"How do you feel?" He asked her as she slowly drank down the water.

Gulping down the last of the water she stated, "My head hurts a little, but…Inuyasha where is everyone?" She didn't really understand why she was asking him that, but something didn't feel right. It was too quiet. Whenever she or any of them were sick the others were always around to lend support, so where were they now?

"Everyone?"

"Uhm, hmm"

"Umm, well…Umm…"

Opening her eyes again she fought back the pain so that she could look him directly in the face, "what's wrong? Where is everyone? Did something happen?"

"Shush, you worry too much, everything's fine." He lied as he turned his head away from her for fear that she would be able to see into his mind and tell that he was indeed lying.

Narrowing her eyes at him she turned her head so that she could look around the hut. "Inuyasha what's that?"

"What?" He replied trying to act as if he had no clue as to what she was talking about.

"That, over there in the corner under my favorite blanket. What's that?"

He didn't answer her. He didn't know how to answer her. She had always been a very sensitive person so if he told her that it was Ayame's dead body and that Sango had killed her would she be able to handle it? Would he then have to tell her Sango had almost been raped? What kind of effect would it have on her, especially now while she was in such a weakened state?

"Inuyasha, please tell me what's wrong. I can feel it…something's not right." She pleaded weakly.

Looking down at her with sorrowful eyes the Hanyou leaned in and gently kissed her forehead. He then begrudgingly began to tell her the entire ordeal, as he knew it, starting with the night by the well.

Simonkal of Inuy

The hands that he used to kill and maim hundreds in one beat of his heart felt like soft rose petals against her skin as he gently caressed and rubbed her body.

Taking his time he would pool a hand full of the tepid water and let it fall slowly over her shoulder to ripple down her back and over her breasts.

His hand was a wonderful thing; so gentle, so kind, soft, and comforting. It said things to her body that he would never say. Every caress was a whisper against her soul. Every gentle rake of his claws against her skin made her heart skip a beat. The feel of his breath on the back of her neck whenever he dipped low to pool more water in his hand told her that he wanted her, begged her to turn around, told her that he craved her.

His hand brushed softly and sensually over her nipple and she gasped as she felt a shiver run down her spine.

"Are you okay?" The white lord whispered sensing an increase in her heartbeat.

Shaking her head she tried to dispel the dizzying feeling that had overcome her. Stumbling back she bumped into his bare chest and she froze. Her naked body was pressed firmly against his. Her heart rate increased, her breathing became labored. She wanted him. This feeling, this need that was slowly growing with in her was turning into something akin to a fever. This feeling…this want…the need…what was it? How could a feeling so alien feel so right?

Her skin was hot against his. It beckoned him. It told him that she was ready, that she wanted him, and that she needed him. It told him that now was the time. This moment, right here, right now was right.

He could hear her heart pounding within her chest. He could feel the temperature of her skin slowly rising. He could smell her scent and it drove him mad with desire. The carnal passion that he felt at this moment was unlike anything he had ever felt before. His loins hardened against her back, his soul begged to be united with hers. Leaning down and into the crook of her neck he inhaled the aroma that enticed him to the heights of the heavens and he moaned the name of its possessor. "Rin" as he draped his arm around her waist and pulled her flush against him.

Turning swiftly within his grasp she gazed up into his eyes begging him with her own to answer the call of her body.

His hand slowly rubbed up and down her back as he felt her chest heave against his moistened flesh. Gazing into her eyes he saw a wanton woman filled with desire and need. With her eyes she begged for him to please her to give her what no other could. "Rin," he whispered wondering if she knew what she was asking him, wondering if she knew just what she was doing to him.

"Kiss me…please, just kiss me." She stated breathlessly.

Without giving it a second thought he scooped her up out of the water devoured her lips with his. Licking and sucking on her bottom lip he begged for entrance. She greedily met his need with that of her own as she opened up to him and allowed his tongue to explore the crevices of her mouth.

His fangs raked soothingly over her lips and her tongue. He kissed down her jaw to her neck and back up to her earlobe where he nibbled and sucked.

She moaned as he rubbed against her, kissed her touched her and still she wanted more. Placing her arms around his neck she pulled him closer as she shifted her small body with in his arms so that her breasts were within his reach.

Pulling away from her he looked into her eyes then down at her breasts, 'who is this woman?' He questioned.

"Please my Lord." She begged as her breast heaved up and down in his face silently whispering his name.

Curling up higher on his chest her body was weak, fatigued it felt like she had just been through some type of battle. Her legs ached her breast were tender her private area throbbed with a dull painful ache. Now is when she needed the bath but she supposed that would have to wait until she was able to walk again or perhaps he wouldn't mind carrying her so that he could finish what he started earlier.

Nuzzling into his neck she whispered, "I love you," As she closed her eyes and slipped into a welcomed sleep.

Smiling he held her tighter as he drifted off to sleep with his mate held securely within his arms. 'I'm mated…I can't believe, I'm mated.' Was his final thought as he slipped into a well needed sleep making sure that his senses were alert to there surroundings.

Until Next Time…(see, I can make happy chapters!)

Dedication: I do not have a clue who this person is but the following review really made me smile and say, "finally someone see's Jojo through my eyes." It goes as follows:

Whoa...your ideas are fresh! I love the way the plot twists and turns and the depth with which you describe the characters' feelings. Every chapter I read, I forget where I am and what I'm doing because it's so great. Great job with the lemons! (I would probably never be able to write one as well as you...or even write one at all LOL). I like the story so much, I don't care if you make spelling mistakes or what not...I frankly don't even notice them because I'm so engrossed into it...Great job! You're such a great writer! Oh...and Jouyoku...absolutely brilliant character...he blends right into the story. I hate him and love him all at once...weird (A charismatic villain...wow, can't say I've seen too much of those in any of the fiction stories I've read). Thank you for such a wonderful story! Keep up the awesome work, and update soon!

"Who ever you are thank you, from the deepest depths of my heart and soul, Thank you!" Your review says things that I've wanted to say but unfortunately because I'm the author I couldn't. I have a host of wonderful awe inspiring readers and reviewers but none have described Jojo in such a fashion! Hell I think they all hate him, well I know they do! But I love them anyway. The fact that you would consider him charismatic really floors me, because that's exactly what I was going for! To me just because someone's evil doesn't mean that they can't be charming, come to think about those are your worst types of villains. Anyway once again thank you, whoever you are!

Anniechanalc: Thanks for your continued reviews and support my friend. I was meaning to dedicate the one shot to you, but I forgot and when I remembered I didn't want to go back and add it after it had been there for awhile…don't worry my friend I'll make it up to you!
