Rella: Okay, big-mouth, how'd you like dem apples?

Ikuto: Psshh! What ever! So what! Chapter Two was cool! I'm not saying it though.

Rella: Hah...Amu how could you love him?

Amu: *Blushes* I-I do not!

Rella: Okay..Then could I have him?

Amu: NO!

Rella & Ikuto: Busted.

Amu: GAHH!! *Runs in circles*

Keiichi: Why's the pink girl runnin' around?

Keiichi: Uhh! O-Okay! *Smiles*

Amu, Ikuto & Rella: *Sweatdrop* Heh...

Rella: Sorry for that interruption! Enjoy the Chapter!

Chapter 3.

I woke up in a room that was very....blue. My head hurt, and my throat was really scratchy.

"Ouch..." I rubbed my throat.

"Morning Sleeping Beauty." A deep voice said from across the room. I looked over.

Ikuto.

"You feelin' okay?" He asked.

"I-I'm fine. Just...just where am I?" I whispered.

"My house. This is my room, obviously." He answered.

I blushed. Then anger surged in my heart. "What the hell?! You take advantage of a sick, vuluptuous-"

"Vuluptuous?" He repeated and laughed. "Arn't we a little too full of ourselves?"

"DON'T EVER INTERRUPT ME, CAT!" I screamed. "You put something in my system when we hugged, didn't you?! Oh! You no-good, lint-lickin', bastard! OHH! I shouldda' known that you'd stoop down this low! I'm getting the fuck out of here!"

I started to get up, but then Ikuto grabbed my wrist and pushed me onto the bed. I closed my eyes, but when I opened my eyes, it wasn't Ikuto. I yelped in suprise. "Aruto!"

I looked over at Ikuto, he spun around and glared at Aruto.

"Yo, Ikuto." Aruto greeted, while still on top of me on the bed. "How's life?"

"Pretty good considering that you are about to exit it!" Ikuto yelled as he grabbed a golf club and charged after Aruto. "Don't you dare touch Amu!"

Aruto sprang off of me, and dodged his son's attack. Ikuto slowed down in front of me, and I touched his shoulder lightly. "Ikuto, stop." I ordered.

He turned around to face me. Pain filled his blue eyes. He hugged me gently again. "I will protect you, Amu...Don't worry. I'll never leave your side. I promise."

"I-Ikuto! It's fine really! I'll be okay." I insisted. "Just Don-"

But before I could finish he pulled me into a kiss. I blushed like there was no tomorrow.

"Ain't that so sweet." Aruto said. "Well. I'm going. Bye Amu." Then he walked out the door.

Ikuto growled in his throat, as he pulled away. "Bastard!"

I covered my lips as soon as his pulled away. "Um. Ikuto. I have to go." I said hastilly as I scurried out the door before he could say anything.

Rella: Aw! So cute!

Ikuto: A kiss leads to a hug which leads to a bed which leads to-

Rella & Amu: IKUTO!

Ikuto: Jeez! Sorry!

Amu: Uh...I didn't do anything!

Rella & Ikuto: *sweatdrop* Heh...

Amu: What!?

Rella: Oh nothing nothing...

Ikuto: Anyways...wait for chapter four of Hop, Step, RUN!!!

Rella: Kyuu~

Ikuto: Really?

Rella: Mehh...
