Author's Note: Sorry out there for all those Claire/Leon shippers. I love the couple as much as the next shipper, but I thought that since nobody has attempted this type of fiction, and since I was interested it writing it, I might as well, you know?

Also, Rebecca Chambers looks really cute in the Resident Evil remake for the Gamecube, so I just had to pair her up with Leon S. Kennedy!

This third chapter is also the alternate beginning to Chapter Eleven of "Even Fond Memories Can Come Back To Haunt You...", which is entitled "Hostage Situation".

Thanks for all the reviews so far! I really do appreciate every single one of them! You asked for it, so I'm giving you chapter four! It's so nice to know that everyone who's read it likes it! I just hope you guys like the fourth chapter!

Anyways, I felt like doing a fourth chapter to this, since I just thought it was such a cute story and I couldn't help but do yet another chapter!

-Chapter Four-


"We didn't do anything last night..." Leon said quickly, his cheeks quite red from embarrassment, "We just talked and did other stuff..."

Rebecca nodded in agreement, her arms still around Leon's waist, her cheeks just as red his.

"Uh huh...riiiight...." replied Chris, with a huge grin on his face, "So I heard you were carrying Rebecca in your arms this morning, eh Leon?"

"Well....yeah....but that doesn't mean we did anything like what you're suggesting, Chris!" replied Leon as he desperately tried to convince the male Redfield that Rebecca and himself were not at that point of intimacy quite yet.

"What, you think I'm that type of girl, Chris...?" said Rebecca, pretending to feel hurt and sad.

"Uh...uh...no...?" replied Chris meekly, as he tried to calm down Rebecca, who looked teary eyed and on the verge of sobbing.

While this was going on, Leon noticed that Claire hadn't taken a seat with them; she had been leaning against the brick wall of the restaurant the whole time, looking quite mad for some reason.

"Hey Claire! Why don't you take a seat with us?" said Leon, waving at Claire and gesturing her to come and seat with them.

To his surprise, she folded her arms and looked away, with a small "hmph" as well.

"Hey, will you excuse me for a moment guys? I gotta go talk with Claire really quick..." said Leon, as he started to get out of his chair.

"Sure Leon...." said Rebecca softly, a tinge of jealousy in her voice at the mention of Claire, even though just a few minutes ago Leon confessed that he was falling for her instead of Claire, "Just don't take too long, kay...?"

"Course not...." he said, flashing a loving smile at Rebecca as he gave her a loving peck on the lips before going to talk with Claire.

As he started walking towards Claire, she unfolded her arms and started walking casually away towards the other side of the building. Confused and curious to what was up with her today, he followed after her. As he rounded the corner, he was shocked to see Claire, leaning against the wall, and flashing him the sexiest smile he had ever received from her.

"Claire? Um...why have you been acting so strangely today...?" Leon managed to stutter out, still in shock from how Claire was looking at him.

"Leon..." she whispered seductively, as she walked up to him, looking quite sexy in the process.

"Uh...yeah Claire...?" he said, as he slowly backed away, wondering what Claire was up to now.

"Leon...why are you hanging around with the girl anyways...?" Claire said with a pout, her face inches away from Leon's.

"What are you trying to say...?" he replied back, his tone and expression getting serious.

"You know what I mean, Leon..." whispered Claire, as she put her hand on his cheek, "What does that little girl have that I don't...?"

Leon blinked his eyes in surprise as he felt his cheeks blush at Claire's touch. This was all very confusing for the young rookie cop; first, he had intense feelings for Claire the night before, then he "met" Rebecca and fell for her, and now Claire Redfield was trying to seduce him.

"Well...?" she said impatiently as she wrapped both her arms around his waist and leaned in closer, "What does that girl have that I don't, Leon....?"

"Claire..." he said softly as he looked at her, "I'm..."

"What? In love with her?" she scoffed as she backed away, with acid in her tone as she folded her arms again, "Weren't you the one who fell in love with that *spy* after barely a few hours of knowing her!?"

"Claire...what's with you...?" Leon said softly, a stern expression on his face, "Why do you have to bring...that up...?"

"You didn't answer my question, Leon!? Are you in love with her or not?!" she shouted at him, acid in every word.

"Yeah...I am..." he said softly, confused at her sudden change in mood, "Why are you so mad about it though...?"

"Because..." she replied childishly as she looked away from him.

"Because what?" he said, as he folded his own arms, "I thought you'd be happy for me..."

"How can I be happy when she's all over you and I've got nothing...?" she looked at him with sad eyes.

Leon felt sad as he looked back at her. She had lost Steve back in Antarctica, and Leon was the only other guy that she had been with in the last few months. Still, it was no excuse for just coming on to him when he was already romantically involved with Rebecca Chambers.

"I'm...sorry for your loss Claire...I really am...but I love Rebecca..." he replied gently as he held her hand.


-Meanwhile, back with Chris and Rebecca at the breakfast tables...-


"Come on Rebecca, you can tell me...." pleaded Chris.

"Chris, for the last time, nothing like *that* happened, okay?" she replied, blushing furiously, "Leon's a gentleman...unlike you..."

"What?!" he said, loud enough for most of the people around him to be quite annoyed, "Are you saying I'm not a gentleman like that Leon guy?"

"Mmmhmmm!" she said cheerfully, her eyes getting all dream-like as she thought about Leon, "He's the best...a matter of fact, I miss my Leon already! Hehe, I think I'll go and get him now! See you later Chris!"

And with that, she left her seat to go get Leon, leaving Chris confused and a bit embarrassed.


-Back with Leon and Claire around the corner...-


Claire looked at Leon, not sure what to do. She wanted him since she was so lonely without any guy, especially since Leon was now totally unavailable thanks to Rebecca. She sighed as she looked at him, wondering what she could do to seduce him.

And then she noticed out of the corner of her eye that Rebecca had gotten had of her chair and was going to get Leon. With a devilish grin, she looked over to Leon.

"Leon?" she said innocently, pouting a bit to look cute.

"What...?" he said, as he took his hand away from Claire's and began getting freaked out.

Before he could say another thing, she wrapped her arms and his neck and kissed him on the lips slowly...

"Le-Leon.....?" whispered a small female voice, that sounded like it was on the verge of tears.

Leon, who had been trying desperately to get Claire off him, was mortified; Rebecca was right *there*, watching Claire kiss him slowly.

"How could you....?" Rebecca whispered quietly, as tears formed in her eyes.

"Wait! Rebecca! I can explain!" he replied, as he managed to jerk his head away from Claire's for a second, "I can-"

It was too late, she had already started running back towards the hotel.

"Wait! Rebecca!" he shouted, hoping she would stop running.

"Why did you go and do that Claire?!" he asked Claire, confused as hell.

At first, she was grinning, but as she saw how sad she had made Leon, not to mention Rebecca, she felt really guilty.

"I'm sorry Leon..." she replied meekly as she turned her head down, "I...I was just lonely..."

Leon sighed as he looked at her, wishing she would've just talked to him about it instead of getting him in trouble with Rebecca.

"I forgive you Claire...just please don't do that again...okay?" he said while sighing.

"I promise I won't Leon...I'm really sorry..." she said, her head still down in shame and guilt.

Leon, seeing that Claire was genuinely sorry for causing so much trouble, quickly started running after Rebecca, hoping he'd be able to offer a good explanation for why Claire was all over him.


-Leon and Rebecca's hotel room-


Rebecca laid her head down on Leon's pillow, crying her eyes out after seeing that little show that Leon and Claire had put on.

'How could he do that to me...?' she thought to herself, as she struggled to keep her cries quiet from Jill, Carlos, and Barry, who were still in their respective hotel rooms, 'I thought...I thought...he loved me...'

She cried harder in Leon's pillow, at the same time smelling his scent still on it, which made her cry harder.

'I...I thought we had something going on...I thought we had a chance....' she thought to herself, as she kept crying on his pillow,

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, which startled Rebecca for a second.

"Who is it...?" she said meekly as she walked over to the door, silently wishing to be left alone.

"It's Leon..." he replied, "Please, just open the door so I can explain what you saw..."

"I know what I saw Leon! You and...Claire...and...I...I just can't believe you used me...." she said through tears, "You said you loved me...."

"Rebecca, I do love you...I really do..." he pleaded softly, "Claire was telling me how she wanted me...but I told her that I already had a girl..."

"Don't all guys say that when they get caught?" she replied back with anger and sadness in her voice. She wanted to believe him, but she remembered hearing that line from guys one too many times before.

"But Rebecca...I'm not like other guys, remember?" he said, desperately trying to prove his innocence.

"Prove it then!" she said, sounding like she was about to sob again.

"Okay...um...remember when you slipped into my bed?" he said, blushing a little at what he just said.

"Yeah..." she replied, thinking back to last night.

"Remember how freaked out I looked when you did it? Only innocent-loving-type of guys do that, right?" he replied, hoping that would convince her.

To his relief, he heard giggling on the other side of the door.

"Does that prove my innocence yet?" he replied, with hope in his voice.

Rebecca answered that by opening the door and wrapping her arms around him.

"You bet it does Leon..." she said as she snuggled up to him, "I'm sorry I ever doubted you, Leon...."

"Thank goodness..." he replied happily as he held her close and wiped away the last of her tears, "Rebecca?"

"Yeah Leon...?" responded Rebecca, who immediately looked up to Leon's face.

"I noticed that we've been moving awfully fast, and we've only just begun to learn about each other...but you know what? I think we could so work out..." he said with a sly grin.

Rebecca smiled back at him as she held on to her Leon tightly, "Hearing that makes me so happy Leon ..."

"I'm glad to hear that...." he replied softly as he held her close, "You make me happy, Rebecca..."

"Hey Leon....wanna sleep in...?" Rebecca asked with a mischievous grin.

Leon smiled like an idiot and nodded enthusiastically as he kissed her, picked her up in his arms, and closed the door behind them, and proceeded to have some quality fun time.

Jill Valentine woke up, hearing lots of rather loud laughing and giggling coming from Rebecca and Leon's room.

'I wonder what those two are up to...' she thought to herself, as she got out of bed, got changed, and opened her door. As she was about to knock on their door, she noticed a peculiar note on the Redfields' hotel room door.

"I wonder what this note is about?" she mused to herself, as she took it off the door and, against her better judgment, decided to open it, curious as to which Redfield it was addressed to...


-End of Chapter Four, or The End...?-


I'm not sure if this is the final chapter or not, cause it would be pretty hard to write a PG version of "The Letter" - Chapter Twelve and "Dance With The Devil" - Chapter Thirteen...

Err, you'd see what I mean if you saw those two chapters, which are in "Even Fond Memories Can Come Back To Haunt You..."

Also, the part with Jill and the note is a parody of when Barry finds the note in "Hostage Situation".

Oh yes, and fans of "Even Fond Memories Can Come Back To Haunt You…", don't worry! Chapter Fifteen will be out soon! I think…err, I hope…
