Chapter 5: Self-Inflicted Wound

"Olivia, what are you doing here?" Melinda asks, unconsciously leaning against Jill's chest, seeking the blonde's protection.

"Stopping whatever this is from going on." the brunette growled as John, Alex, Elliot, and Fin all show up.

"Come on Liv, we don't have time for this, you all are still on a case, or did you forget-?" Alex said, but is silenced by Olivia when she drew back and slapped her blonde lover hard across the face.

"Shut up!" Olivia screams as both Melinda and Jill go to the injured blonde's side, "Alex, are you OK?" Melinda asks as she pulls Alex to the side, Jill cut her eyes at the statuesque blonde.

"You think that you're hot stuff, huh Rookie, looks like I'm gonna have to humble you too." Olivia snapped.

"Hey, stop it, Liv." Elliot said angrily, just then Fin's phone rang it was Cragen.

"Yes Cap, she's here with us now. OK, we're on our way back now." Fin says before ending the call.

"What's up, partner?" Munch inquires.

"The Captain wants all of us back, said something new just came up."

Everyone left Melinda's office, save for Jill. Alone once again, the two women look lovingly into each other's eyes.

"Promise me that you'll be careful out there." Melinda says, her voice cracking just a little.

Jill smiled and wrapped her strong arms around the older woman and just held her.

Melinda breathed in Jill's scent, she wished that they could stay like this.

Jill and the others return to the precinct and to Cragen's office.

"What's the breaking news, Captain?" Jill asked.

'Brownnoser.' Liv thought, rolling her eyes.

"Diane's backpack was found in the southern part of Central Park a while ago."

Hearing this filed Jill with hope, suddenly Olivia's phone buzzed, , Detective Benson." she said.

"Hi Detective Benson, it's Ayuko, I've been discharged from the hospital, but my Father had my car towed and now I am stranded, could you come and pick me up please?"

"Sure Ayuko, I'd be happy to." Olivia said enthusiastically. Liv jumped up and grabbed her keys and leather jacket and rushed out of the squad room.

"Valentine, go back her up." Cragen says.

"Yes Sir." Jill says before taking off after Olivia.

"Why are you following me, Jill?" Olivia said irritatedly.

"Captain's orders." the snapped in reply.

Zane is watching Ayuko from a nearby alley, his blue eyes glowing with rage as he gripped his knife tighter in his right hand.

"I...told her not to go to the police or I'd kill her and her family." he growled underneath the hood of his black hoodie. He watched as Ayuko exited Mercy Hospital and headed to a nearby bus stop to wait for Olivia to come and pick her up.

Zane followed Ayuko closely until she passed an alley, it was here that Zane pounced.

He charged Ayuko and blindsided her, dazed Ayuko was on the ground holding her head as Zane dragged the semi-conscious woman into the alley where he sliced Ayuko's jeans open, revealing her blue satin panties.

"I told you what would happen if you went to the cops!" Zane screamed as he put the knife against Ayuko's jugular, the deadly instrument was firmly in Zane's left hand, with his right hand he yanks off Ayuko's panties before unzipping his pants and pulling them down, followed swiftly by his boxers.

"I'm gonna give you one last ride before I ice ya, sweet mama." Zane said as he laid the knife down.
He crawled on top of Ayuko, and had his hand down into her womanhood, Ayuko tried to pull away, to no avail.

Ayuko stopped fighting only to have Zane's fingers suddenly at her slit. Ayuko didn't understand how she could be so wet as his fingertips easily slid along her pussy lips.

When Zane's fingers found her clit, Ayuko gasped. He smiled and wiggled his finger. She closed her eyes and bit her lip, trying to fight off the rush of pleasure. She retreated inside her mind- to thoughts of Olivia Benson, her beautiful and courageous protector.

"No... no..." Ayuko tried to cry out, but could only hiss in a hoarse whisper.

Zane dropped onto her. His hips pressed her thighs wide apart. He lowered himself until the hard muscles of his chest flattened her swollen breasts. His face reached hers. His tongue licked her lips. She jerked her head away. His tongue found her ear. Then his erection was at her entrance, sliding up and down. She tried not to think about his cock, its big fleshy head. She tried not to feel the pleasure as his cock head rubbed up and down over her clitoris.

Ayuko felt in despair as her body responded, arching her back, tilting her hips. She knew what was going to happen.

There was nothing she could do. Zane felt the change and responded by arching his own back, then flexing his hips forward.

Ayuko gasped as his cock slid effortlessly inside. She quivered. His cock was so much bigger than his fingers. Her mouth opened and she caught her breath as he sank deeper and deeper, farther than anything had ever been inside her.

She winced when Zane's cock head bumped, too long for her. And still he pressed into her. She felt muscles she didn't know she had working inside her, stretching her, for him.

And then he was pulling out. A long, slow emptying, a draining. Ayuko was suddenly filled with even more despair, tears welling up, rolling down the sides of her face. Insane and out of control, but then she saw Olivia, Her Olivia running towards them with her gun drawn along with her partner, Jill Valentine.

"Get off her, now!" Liv ordered Zane.

"Look lady, this is my-." Zane said, trying to lie, but Ayuko cut him off.

"He's the guy that raped me before, Detectives!" Ayuko shouts.

"Get off of her, I won't say it again." Olivia said in a dark tone.

Zane could tell that Olivia was dead serious, he pulled out of Ayuko, grabbed his boxers and pants and put them back on while Ayuko tried to fix her ruined pants. Olivia hurried over to Ayuko.

"Ayuko, are you OK?" Liv asked, her brown eyes brimming with concern.

"Y-yes, now that you're here Detective Benson." Ayuko whimpered.

"It's all right now Ayuko, I'm here and you're safe." Liv whispered before standing up and turning to go back to her car to get Ayuko and sheet, when suddenly- Zane lunged at Ayuko, Olivia sees this and pushed Ayuko out of the way, but Jill got in front of her as Zane stabbed Jill in the chest.

"No, Detective!" Ayuko screamed, Jill gasped and fell to the ground, Zane smiled at his handiwork. He then knelt down next to Jill.

"I'm gonna have so much fun doing the same thing to Ayuko here next time." Zane said before running away.

Ayuko looked down at Jill as she cradled the blonde's head in her lap.

"Why did you save me?" Ayuko asked tearfully.

"It's...my j-job, Ayuko." Jill whispered as two nurses came rushing out of the hospital with a gurney.

"Step aside Miss." one of the nurses said to Ayuko.

Ayuko did as she was instructed and let the nurses take Jill inside, leaving a Ayuko and a stunned Olivia standing outside.

Ayuko is sitting in the Waiting Room with Olivia when Elliot Stabler, Fin, Munch, Melinda Warner, and Alex came running into the hospital.

"Where is Jill?" Stabler asked Ayuko as Alex and Munch sat next to Ayuko.

"S-Surgery, the prick that raped me stabbed her, the doctor said that the blade missed Jill's heart by an eighth of an inch on the right." Ayuko said as she looked down at her blood-stained shirt, just then Koji, Reiko, and Saton came into the waiting room.

"Ayuko, what happened now?" Koji asked, clearly aggravated.

"Detective Valentine was stabbed...protecting me." Ayuko said, looking at her Mother.

"Pathetic, you and her. She was a fool to try and protect an immoral harlot like you." Koji snapped.

"Koji, show some respect, that woman saved our daughter." Reiko said.

Elliot was about to set Koji straight, but Ayuko beat him to the punch. She stood up, squared her shoulders and bored her gaze into her Father.

"How dare you talk about Detective Valentine like that, Dad. She saved my life...Not that it means anything to you or anyone else in the family. Detective Valentine is lying in there because of me, but she doesn't blame me for her condition."

Melinda was in tears and was being comforted by Alex, who is gently rubbing her back.

"Don't worry Melinda, Jill will pull through just fine."

Returning to the bread factory he's still keeping Diane, Zane is in a complete rage, throwing boxes all over the place and screaming at the top of his lungs, seeing this terrifies Diane even more.

Just then Doctor Amelia Cameron walked into the waiting room.

"Family for Jill Valentine." she says. Ayuko, Melinda, Fin, Alex, Munch, and Elliot all stand up.

"How is she, Doctor?" Ayuko asked.

"Detective Valentine was incredibly fortunate, the knife's blade missed her heart by an eighth of an inch, though she did loose one pint of blood, we were able to replace it."

"Thank God." Ayuko said.

"She's in Recovery now, you can all go and see her if you'd like, but please only two at a time."

Hearing this filled Melinda with joy, but also dread. Her body suddenly felt extremely heavy and she thought that she was going to pass out, thankfully though Alex was there to catch her.

After composing herself, Melinda followed Dr. Cameron into Jill's hospital room, Melinda smiled when she sees Jill Valentine - alive and awake in the hospital bed.

"Hey." Jill said.

"Hi." Melinda said shyly.

"I have rounds to do, if Ms. Valentine needs anything page the desk nurse." Dr. Cameron said before leaving the room.

Melinda walked over and sat down in the chair next to Jill's bed, then she gently takes Jill's left hand in her right hand and squeezes it gently.

"I was so worried Jill, I-I thought that I would lose you."

"Melinda, what are you saying?" Jill inquired, Melinda stood up and leaned over the injured blonde and cautiously placed a kiss on Jill's lips.

"I'm in love with you, Jill Valentine." Ayuko whispered.

Zane went home,he took a shower and waited for his girlfriend Lori Mason to get home, he sat down on the couch with a bottle of Bud Ice and turned on the news.

"I am pleased to report that NYPD Special Victims Unit Detective Jill Valentine is recovering nicely after she was stabbed by a rapist earlier today while assisting a victim." the female reporter said. Rage swept over Zane as he hurled the bottle against the wall and kicked the TV over, promptly destroying the appliance.

"She's still alive!? That cop bitch is tougher than I thought."
