So, before you start reading I just wanted to say good job to both Team Marie and Team Callie. I thought for sure Team Callie was going to win, but we came close.

Four days after the last chapter.

Iho sat on the hill as Kareshi sat down next to her. Iho pulled her boyfriend in to a hug as he winced. "What's wrong Kareshi?" She asked.

Kareshi took a few deep breaths before saying. "I... I had to fight what Agents One and Two called "The Octomaw"and it got a few good hits on me."

Iho gasped. "Can I see how bad it is?" Kareshi nodded and pulled up his white anchor tee as Iho gasped again. "Oh my cod..."

Kareshi then pulled his shirt back down. "But I'll be fine... Maybe."

"Maybe!?"

"But the worst part is... I have to back to fighting in a week."

"A week? Kareshi, this is going to need a month at best."

"But Agents One and Two said that we're so close to getting the great Zapfish. I can't stop now. We just need a few more Zapfish."

"How many Zapfish do you need?"

Kareshi thought for a moment. "Six or seven I think."

Iho sighed. "That's gonna take a long time."

"Not really, we found three kettle locations already."

"That was quick." Iho then grinned as she cautiously cuddled up with Kareshi. "But what else should I expect from you? I'm sure your a better agent then Agents One and Two combined." Kareshi grinned back before leaning over Iho's shoulder and kissing her.

When they pulled away a loud TING could be heard from the right. Iho felt Kareshi push her and before she had time to react...

BANG!

A long line of green ink separated the two.

They both looked towards the shooter to see Agent Two aiming her Hero Charger at them. "A-AGENT TWO!" Kareshi exclaimed as the TING noise could be heard again. "We can-"

BANG!

Kareshi yelped as he dodged the shot by a whisker.

"SICKOS!" Agent Two yelled. "I should splat you, right here, right now! I'd be doing both Inkopolis AND Octo Valley a favor!"

"Please Agent Two! Let us explain every-" Iho was cut off by Agent Two. "Quiet!" Agent Two's attention then turned back to Kareshi. "Now. If you don't give me a good explanation why you two were kissing... Then me and Agent One are going to tell gramps that there was a tragic accident while you where fighting the Octomaw."

Kareshi gulped. "I... I just... We wern't..."

"Come on! Spit it out, squid!"

"Please, just lay off of him Age-" Iho shut up when Agent Two aimed her charged Hero Charger at her.

"We..." Kareshi's voice trailed off.

"That's it, I've lost my patience." Agent Two then lifted her charger up to Kareshi's head.

"We're in love!" Kareshi blurted out. "Now I know that you only see her as an octoling that is in the way and needs to be splatted..." He smiled at Iho. "But I see the most beautiful girl in the world."

While Agent Two had her sights on Kareshi, he walked over to Iho and the two pulled each other into a scared hug. Both of them could feel the other one shaking in fear.

Agent Two looked at the couple, then down at her Hero Charger, then back at the couple. She took a deep breath, aimed and fired.

Kareshi and Iho opened their eyes and looked at one another. They then looked at Agent Two who had shot her ink off into the hillside. She then stormed towards them, grabbed Kareshi and started to drag him back to Cuttlefish's shack while grumbling.

As he was being dragged away, Kareshi motioned for Iho to run which she reluctantly did.

When they got back to Cuttlefish's shack...

Agent Two opened the door as she walked in with Kareshi over her shoulder. "Ow! Let me go!" Kareshi cried.

"Agent Two! Where in Inkopolis did you find him!?" Agent One asked as she bolted from the livingroom.

As Agent Two brang Agent Three into the spare room room she said. "He was sitting on the hill next to the big rock octopus..." She then threw him on the floor. "KISSING AN OCTOLING!"

"WHAT!?" Agent One screamed as she looked at Kareshi. "Is that true!?"

Kareshi looked at Agent Two who was stairing daggers at him, then back to Agent One. He sighed before saying. "Yes..."

Agent One stood there shocked. She then ran out of the room and into a room down the hall. Not Even a minute later, she burst back in... With her Hero Roller in her hands.

"WAIT WAIT WAIT!" Kareshi screamed. "DON'T SPLAT ME!"

The two agents shared a look. "Give us a good reason and we won't splat you." Agent Two said.

"And don't pull that whole "Oh, I love her. She's different from everyone else." trick either." Agent One added.

Well then... I'm dead. Kareshi thought. "A reason or an excuse?"

"Give us an excuse and you'll be turned into a puddle of green or pink ink." Agent One replied. "Choose your pick."

I wonder what Iho will think when she finds out I'm splatted... If she finds out at all. "Well I'm going to tell you both the truth." Kareshi said after his brief thought. "We're in love with one another."

"But you both know it's illegal! Not to mention only sickos would ever, EVER think on dating an octarian." Agent Two said as she and Agent One shuttered.

"But, she's seriously not as bad as what you say she is. She's actually-"

"What did we say about excuses!?" Agent One asked as she held her roller over her head.

"Let me finish!" Agent Three cried as Agent One put her roller down. "Thank you... Now, she's not as bad as what you two said the octarians would be. She's actually really nice, sweet and absolutely beautiful."

"I need to throw up." Agent Two replied. "Why don't you just date an inkling!? Like a NORMAL person!?"

"Because I'm already dating an octoling." Kareshi replied. "And she has a name. It's-"

"Listen! I don't care about what her name is. All I care about, is getting Cuttlefish and the Great Zapfish back." Agent Two cut him off. "And as of right now, your getting in the way of that!" She then held her Hero Charger up to Kareshi's head again.

"Agent Two, wait!" Agent One said as a thought came to her head. "Maybe he can tell us something about where Cuttlefish or the Great Zapfish is." She reasoned.

As Agent Two shot her ink out through the window, Kareshi spoke up. "Um, I actually don't know anything about where either one of them are. I'm sorry."

"And you told her everything about us!?" Agent Two asked.

"No! All she knows are your agent numbers. She doesn't know anything about our plans! We made a deal, we don't tell one another secret plans, weapons or anything else incase we had to break up." Agent Three explained as the other two agents shared a look.

"It... It's true." Iho said as she hopped through the open window. "I don't know a thing about you."

"She's here!" Agent One cried as she readied her roller.

As she charged at Iho, Kareshi jumped in front of her. "WAIT!"

"Oh for cod sakes, what now?" Agent Two asked annoyed.

"Everybody needs to calm down! First, Agents One and Two, put the weapons down."

"Why? So she can splat-" Agent Two watched as Agent One put her roller on the floor. She soon followed.

"Second, Iho, please go back home."

"What!? I'm not leaving you! Your hurt." Iho replied as she hugged Kareshi.

"Please Iho."

As the two talked, Agents One and Two looked at each other. "Agent Two... We should let them live. Afterall, Iho might help us later in our fight against Octavio." Agent One whispered

"Or... She's using Agent Three and she's gonna splat us all and Octavio will win!" Agent Two whispered yet yelled at the same time.

"Just give them a chance, Agent Two."

Agent Two sighed. "Fine. But I'm keeping my eyes on her at all times."

"Alright!" Agent One called out to the couple as the two looked at them. "We're gonna give you both a chance." The couple then pulled each other into a hug as they thanked the two agents.

"But!" Agent Two snapped as she staired at Iho. "If you so much as move a tentacle to go anywhere near us, we will splat you! Got it!?"

Iho nodded. "You won't see me around you... But can I spend some time with Agent Three?"

"I don't care what you do, just DON'T come near us!" Agent Two replied before she and Agent One left the room as Agent Two slammed the door behind them.

Kareshi and Iho pulled each other into a hug as they both stood there shocked. "We... We didn't get splatted." Kareshi said.

"Thank cod..." Was all Iho could say.

The two then lid down on the bed as they cuddled with each other. As they cuddled, Iho rolled up Kareshi's shirt and looked at the wound. "Is it really THAT bad?" Kareshi asked.

"Worse then bad." Iho replied as she rolled his shirt back down. "More like a disaster."

"Well, it won't take long to heal as long as your here with me." As soon as Kareshi finished talking, Iho looked at him, smiled and pulled him into a kiss. "Then in that case... I'm never gonna leave your side."

I'm so sorry for how long this chapter took to make, I was just being lazy and didn't really work on writing this chapter.
