The Rabbit Effect-The Death Cycle

Chapter 4/Epilogue/Final Chapter

Disclaimer: I do not own Gochuumon Wa Desu Ka as I have to state...No matter how much I would like to =p Anyway! On with the show! [I hope you enjoy!]

Cocoa's road to recovery was slow initially, yet thanks to Chino's insistance at her getting better before she could do ANYTHING (including her "Big Sister"-style attitude) had the peach haired girl focusing on that more then anything else.

As Cocoa walked out of the hospital (after being given a clean bill of health) she smiled, taking in a breath of the warm yet not humid air. Actually...For this time of the year...It was really nice. It wasn't frozen cold but then again it wasn't really sourcing hot either...Odd for Winter...but it was nice all the same.

Cocoa slowly walked back towards the Rabbit House. She could feel the town's relief that she was okay. Yeah...The town had been concerned that one of their hard workers had gone down...Being as young as she was...However relief flowed...Cocoa wasn't quite 100% sure how...But it did.

As she rounded the last corner she spotted Chino talking to Syaro. The pair of them looked like they were mothers or something. Cocoa suppressed a giggle as she walked closer and closer until she could hear them.

"You know...My emotions toward Rize are the same as those of yours towards Cocoa" Syaro whispered, going light pink in the face as she did so. Chino smiled which made Syaro blinked. "What? Do I smell or something?" Chino shook her head. "No... Its just pink and yellow. I didn't think they matched before"

Syaro instantly went red and began to stutter. "An-hso-wa-I-nev-wa" Chino then began to giggle, earning Syaro's more embarrased expressions to surface. Chino kept on giggling as Syaro turned around. "I...I'm going back to work! See you soon!" Syaro took off at high speed as Chino still stood there...Not realising that Cocoa was almost right behind her.

"Good grief. That girl'll be the death of me..." Chino whispered as Cocoa slowly put her arms around Chino and then, in one motion, pulled Chino into a very tight hug. Chino was initially too stunned to say anything. She thought about screaming but then realised who it was...Primarily because said person had put her head on her's.

"Let me guess..." Chino began as her own hands began to hold onto Cocoa's rather...tight embrace.

"Mmm-Hmmm" Cocoa whispered back, now, normally this wouldn't really effect Chino...But the fact that Cocoa had whispered it into her ears made the smaller girl shiver. Cocoa blinked at this. "You cold?" Chino shook her head while her face went bright crimson/pink. "N-No..." Cocoa began to giggle. "I've been meaning to thank you for helping me through...You know that difficult..."

Chino nods her head. "Yeah" She trailed off making Cocoa uncoil her arms around her, allowing her to turn around. "Cocoa...About yesterday..." Cocoa's mind went into overdrive in seconds. "C...Chino..." Chino looked to the floor then up at Cocoa. Chino's eyes went wide as she saw that Cocoa's had tears in them. "Y...You regret it don't you?" Chino shook her head, this time...She was a little upset. Chino stepped very close to Cocoa. "How could I regret the most best fucking decision I've ever made in my life?"

Cocoa's eyes widened at that. Not just because Chino had sworn...Not at all. It was the fact that Chino still loved her.

"Chino..."

Chino nodded and wrapped her arms around Cocoa's neck while Cocoa instantly put her arms around her waist. "Look, we work together or not at all. I love you Cocoa...I wasn't quite sure but now I am. Thank you for bringing the, real me, out of my shell. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be here...I have so much more things to tell you...Being with you now is just the start of-"

"Shut up Chino" Before Chino could argue, Cocoa closed the gap between them, kissing the blue haired girl straight on the lips. The pair of them felt like reality around them disappeared...Completely.

Not far away from them Syaro and Rize were standing with Chiya. The three had the biggest smile on their faces.

"You know what?"

Rize shook her head, glancing at Syaro. "No what?"

Syaro smiled warmly at the scene ahead of them. "Its about time they got together" Rize nodded. "Yeah I know"

Chiya smiled to herself as she stole glances at both Rize and Syaro when both weren't looking. "You two are next..." Chiya whispered to herself.

"What was that?" Syaro stated but Chiya shook her head. "N-Nothing! Its nothing!" Syaro grumbled as she turned back to the two ahead of them. 'I'd better be careful next time I want to talk outloud...' Chiya thought with a smirk on her face.

As the pair broke away for air, the Moon which could only just be seen in the sky, shone down onto Chino's blue hair making her look (in Cocoa's eyes) very cute...and cuddly!

For Chino on the other hand, the Sun shone onto the Peach colour of Cocoa's hair, making her seem very beautiful...and very secure.

Cocoa slowly took Chino's hand and turned to the Rabbit House. "Can I ask you something Chino?"

Chino looked to her. "Yeah, go on"

Cocoa put a finger to her lip, "Feel free to say no or whatever..."

Chino half frowned. "What is it?" Chino was almost on the edge of scolding Cocoa...Again.

"Have you thought about who's going to run the Cafe' when your father gets to...You know...Old to?...Who would you run it with?" Cocoa whispered to her blue haired...well...Girlfriend now.

Chino nearly fell over at this, "SERIOUSLY Cocoa? Isn't that obvious?"

Cocoa shook her head. "Not really..."

"I'll give you a clue..." Chino puffed as she began to pull Cocoa into the Cafe.

Cocoa looked to Chino who was pulling her into the cafe. "Gah! Let me go! I can walk on my own!"

"Not after today you won't!"

Cocoa's eyes rolled as she got pulled into the cafe. She caught sight of her friends walking down the road towards Rabbit House. "HELP!" Cocoa shouted. "Chino's taking me hostage! HELP!"

Rize chuckled while Syaro smirked. "Good luck Cocoa!"

Cocoa's eyes turned to Chiya who shook her head, Cocoa's eyes went wide as she disappeared into the cafe. "Ahhh! I won't forget this!"

"Let's hope you don't!" Syaro looked to the other two after she shouted her response...Only to see Rize's stunned expression and Chiya's shocked one.

"I never thought you were quite that forward..."

Syaro went red again. "Sh...Shut up!"
