Chapter 2: Yandere-phant

Chou sat in her office cubicle, typing away on her desktop PC. Her dinner with Fumihito the previous night was fueling the beginning of her next masterpiece, his confession even more so. The rabbit girl knew she’d have to go on another “date” soon, else she’d run out of inspiration!

“Hey, Usagi,” one of her coworkers smiled, peering over the cubicle wall. “I heard you and Fumi-chan are dating now?”

Parker Derm, also known under the penname Nosey Parker; she was always sticking her trunk where it didn’t belong! When the cavalier King Charles spaniel gossiped, Parker was always the most eager to listen-in. And, as elephants tended not to do, she never forgot any of the spicy details!

“Fumihito told you?” Chou winced.

“He told everyone,” the elephant bluntly replied. “But I just wanted to make something clear…” Parker’s trunk retreated back behind her side of the wall, before reemerging with a knife. “Fumi-chan is mine, Usagi. Got that?”

“What the fuck?!” Chou thought. Was this a joke?! Parker wasn’t seriously in-love with Fumihito, was she?! And she wasn’t ACTUALLY gonna hurt Chou, was she?!

“By the way,” the pachyderm whispered, taking her seat back at her desk, “you’d better break-up with him. And don’t tell another soul about my feelings, got it?”

Holy fuck, holy fuck, holy fuck! Chou’s mind was racing, her heart nearly beating out of her chest if not for how tight her brassiere was! The rabbit girl gulped and returned to her typing. “What am I going to dooooo?!” she thought. “Is Fumihito really worth risking my life for?! I don’t even like him, anyways! I mean, we’re friends, but…” No. Chou NEEDED Fumihito’s companionship in order to write the best darn romance story possible! Breaking-up with the dog wasn’t an option! “Besides, if I let Parker have him, she might hurt him… or worse!”

“Hey, Chou, about last night...” Fumihito?! What was he doing in Chou’s cubicle?! “Where do you want to go for our second date?” Did he not witness Parker’s earlier threat? Or did he just not care? Couldn’t he tell that she was definitely listening-in?!

Chou mouthed for the mutt to shut-up.

“Huh? It’s just that if we plan ahead, I can check my schedule and figure-out when I’m available.”

The rabbit girl’s ears jolted upwards as a knife slowly came into view over the wall. “A-Anywhere! Anywhere is fine, just shoot me a text later, and I’ll b-be there!” Chou blurted out. She stood up on her chair, leaning her head over the wall and gently pushing away Parker’s knife. “Relax, I’ll break it off when we meet-up again,” Chou lied. The elephant seemed to buy that excuse, as she put the knife down and returned to whatever she was writing.

Meanwhile, Fumihito was enjoying the view. Chou’s skirt wasn’t designed for standing on a swivel chair and bringing one’s own ass up to their pretend-boyfriend’s eye-level.

“S-S-S-Stripes…” the King Charles spaniel panted, his tail wagging as he admired his beloved’s bikini-briefs.

Chou blushed, pushing down her skirt before sitting back in her chair. “Would you just get out of here, already?!” she demanded.

 

Chou lay on her bed in her carrot-print pink pajamas, her moans muffled by the pillow she was shoving her face into in anguish. Her story had reached a dead-end. She looked over to her nightstand, scanning through a small stack of books and withdrawing her favorite (which, consequently, was also the only one which had not been authored by herself). ‘My Precious Ko’ by Fumihito Inugami; an erotic romance story.

“How does Fumihito do it?” she grunted, lifting her face out from her bedding and flipping open the tome. “Reading his novels almost makes me feel like I could understand romance… although maybe I only like ‘em so much because of the sexy parts?”

As Chou read through the book, she pulled her pajama pants down to her knees with her free hand. Just as she was about to do what most readers do when they read erotica, the rabbit girl was interrupted by her phone’s text alert sound. She hurriedly put the book down and reached for her cellphone.

“im @ v fountin. c u there ♡” Fumihito’s text read.

“Honestly,” Chou sighed, pulling her pants back up, “you’re supposed to be an author, Fumihito. Why are you texting like a teenager?”

Although, the more the bunny thought about it, she realized she wasn’t actually sure how old her friend was. She figured they were around the same age. Chou was 21. That would make her roughly a year old in human-years, whatever that meant. So, if Fumihito was as old as she was… HE’D ONLY BE 7-YEARS-OLD?! Chou shook her head. No, that was ridiculous. That wasn’t how things worked in this world. She was overthinking things! She didn’t even know what a “human-year” was! If she was in her 20s, then Fumihito had to be around the same age! …Right?

“I-I’ll just ask him when I get to the fountain!” she stammered, wriggling into her jacket and hopping out her front door, completely forgetting all about Parker’s threat.

 

“Hm? I’m 25, why?”

Chou breathed a sigh of relief, as she rested against the edge of the water fountain’s basin. Of-course they were around the same age! A year is a year, no more, no less!

Chou cleared her throat. “Ah, so you’re older than me? In that case, you’d better pass on your elderly wisdom to me, got it?”

“Elderly?” the spaniel thought with a sigh. “Hey, Chou, why are you in your pajamas?” he asked, intending to break the ice.

“Why not?” the girl replied. “Is there any rule that says I can’t wear them? I’m not in my lingerie or whatever, so it’s fine!”

Fumihito’s poor heart almost burst. The thought of his girlfriend in lingerie was too much; in a flash, the pooch had fallen backwards into the fountain, his nose painting the water a diluted red. Chou offered him a hand, underestimating his strength (and weight), as she found herself being pulled in too.

 

“Chou,” Fumihito finally said, shaking himself dry as the two fake lovers walked, dripping all the way down the street, “you’re supposed-to dress up all fancy when you go out on a date.”

Chou shot her colleague a confused look. “Then why are you wearing a wet suit?”

Fumihito put his muzzle in his paw. “It WASN’T wet when I arrived… Remember?”

“Oh, yeah!” Chou giggled. “You fell into the fountain like a goof!” She paused. “And then you dragged me down with you,” she said, coldly.

Fumihito shook with nervousness and also because he was freezing. “M-My bad.”

Chou stared at him blankly for a few seconds before entering a fit of giggling. Fumihito smiled. Chou had such a good sense of humor, he thought. When life gave her lemons, she made freaking lemonade without a care in the world. That was one of the rabbit girl’s many qualities he had come to fall in-love with.

And so, Fumihito walked Chou back to her home, drops of water forming a pseudo-romantic trail behind them…

 

“Hey, Chou,” a sheep said the next day, leaning smugly up against the office water-cooler that the rabbit was currently getting a drink from. “Still wearing those stripy panties today?”

Chou’s ears jolted up as she froze in place. That little tattletale… “FUMIHITO!”
