Disclaimer: Is this even necessary? I mean seriously, this is a FANFICTION site. But anyway, all character rights & plot rights belong to Yuki Kaori-sensei, apart from maybe my random, insignificant little OCs.
That aside, I had to write an epilogue to God Child since according the author, Cain was not drawn with any apparent injury to create an open ending effect (though really through common sense you'd think he'd be dead). HOWEVER! Due to the fact that he's very awesome and that there are a lot of fanfics about his tragic 'death', I decided to go for the happy-ish ending approach (hey you can't blame a girl for trying D=) Okay, I'm sorry for the rant *bows*, please read on.

[Time: Afternoon Tea]
[Place: A Garden, Hargreaves Estate]
Mary slammed the newspaper down, causing Oscar to spill his tea.
"Now, now dear Mary, that's no way for a lady to behave-"
He was abruptly cut off when he found himself assaulted by cutlery and a chair. It seemed that her temper hadn't changed all that much since childhood. Either that or it was 'Scarlet' again. She confirmed it to be the latter.
"LOOK AT THIS! That Miss Scarlet solved ANOTHER case!"
Her well-kept fingers stabbed the front-page.
"And what seems to be the problem? I'm sure the involved are very happy that it's all wrapped up-"
This time it was the table that was sent flying Oscar's way.
"The problem is that these tabloids are calling her the Lady of Death as well as the Countess of Poison! I know they weren't exactly the nicest of nicknames, but she shouldn't just STEAL my brother's titles like that!"
"Ah… I see…" was all her husband could squeak out from under the table. His left leg twitched like a squashed bug's.

[Place: Raphaela Scarlet's Poisons and Medicines Shop]
Her doorbell jingled.
"Not open. Read the sign," she looked up at a cloaked figure. He flashed a tarot card in front of her eyes.
"The World this time? Well, well, for a Major Arcana to visit me, I feel rather honoured."
"As all of your previous visitors have asked, would you like to become 'Death'?"
"Hm… not to be coy or anything, but I still would like some more time to think about it. Joining up with a mysterious organisation may have its perks for my children (namely my poison collection), but it also means I have to put quite a lot at stake, correct?"
"Indeed. This will be life-changing."
"More like life-ending," the black-haired woman rolled her eyes and pointed at the door "why don't you hop along and ask your dear 'Card Master' to give me a little more time to weigh up my options."
"Have it your way," replied the hermaphrodite, slamming the door so hard that the coat hanger next to it toppled over. Needless to say, she had to buy the third bell of the week to replace her ever-breaking doorbells.
Scarlet sighed and whipped out a broom. Guess it's time to clean up the mess Delilah made. Again.
"How many times does it make this?" she grumbled to herself, sweeping like a maid.

[Place: Under a Bridge Near the Thames River]
The blonde twins giggled. The girl, with the cutest ringlets and a frilly red dress, lifted the carving knife.
"Hey, Jack?"
"Yes, Jill?
"What do we do now?"
"Mother said we should chuck him into Thames."
"Can we play with him first?"
"Sure, why not? Let's give him a crown, Jack-and-Jill-styled."
Jack and Jill went up a hillTo fetch a pail of a water
Jack fell down and broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after.

DO NOT TAKE OFFENSE TO:
Mary being a bit violent XD She is by no means meant to be a dominatrix/sadist. Though if people request it, I'm sure I'll have great fun making her one.
