	Silence surrounded Nerima in a blanket of darkness, its eerie presence
sending chills down a person's spine. 

	A man dressed in robes leaned on the wall in an alleyway, his eyes
glinting through his glasses, "Once again you've denied my offerings of
love..." a reedy laugh escaped his lips, "If I can't have you, then no one
will..."

	A cat suddenly appeared from a dark passage, its shining eyes regarding
the figure in the darkness. The man knelt and extended his hand, motioning
the wary feline to him, "C'mere kitty, c'mere, I won't hurt you..."

	The cat did as told and approached the man in robes, purring against his
cold touch...

	"You look just like her...pity she doesn't come to me as freely as you
do..." he stroked its fur, gently cupping its neck and rubbing its ears,
"There, there, nice kitty..."


	*SNAP*


	Laughter that could chill warm blood echoed through the silence, making
each individual who heard it shiver. A heap lay lifeless on the pavement, a
pool of dark red surrounding it...

	Shampoo looked around her, a feeling of dread suddenly surrounding her.
She knew something was going to happen today, something that was bound to
change her life. She had just come home from her nightly visits to the
Tendo dojo, sighing as she remembered how Ranma refused her once again.
Shampoo rubbed her shoulders, feeling goose bumps forming on her arms,
*Something's wrong...* 

	Out of the darkness, a man appeared in front of her, his face hidden yet
his eye glasses evident.

	Shampoo immediately took on a defensive stance, readying herself for a
battle, "What you want?!" she demanded.

	The man emerged from the dark, a cold glint in his eye, saying, "I want
you..."

	Shampoo sighed in relief and said, "It only you, Mousse...what you doing
here? Shampoo already refuse date!!"

	Mousse smugly smiled and spoke in Chinese, saying, " ^Tsk, tsk,
Shampoo...that is not the way to speak to your beloved...^ "

	Suspicion filled Shampoo and she took a good look. Indeed it was Mousse,
yet somehow, he was different, he was colder than usual...She noticed a red
stain on his white robe, matching the liquid that covered his hand. 

	Mousse looked at what she was looking at and answered, "Oh, this?" a grin
plastered itself on his face and he shrugged, raising his glasses on his
forehead.

"Ooops, guess I got carried away with that one..." he wiped the blood
covering his hand on his robe, continuing, "She was a nice kitty
too...looks just like you..." a laugh escaped his lips as he stared at her
in amusement.

	Shampoo could smell trouble even before Mousse finished speaking. She
decided she had enough and said in Chinese, " ^I'm going home Mousse...^ "
she tried to walk past him, but he moved more quickly than she could ever
imagine.

	"A-a-a...you're not going anywhere, my love..." Mousse walked around her
slowly, "Is the high and mighty Shampoo scared? What's wrong? You never
expected me to move that fast?"

	Shampoo tried to stop her heart from beating too loudly, " ^Stop this
Mousse, or else I'll send you through the sky!^ "

	Mousse paced around her once again, then stopped, throwing his eyeglasses
away. He grimly smiled and looker her in the eye, "Oh you would, huh? Why
don't you try right now!"

	Shampoo felt shaken that he actually stared at her without his glasses.
*Was he only pretending to be half-blind before?* She pushed away the
thought and acknowledged his dare, sending a mean uppercut in his
direction. To Shampoo's surprise, her fist met nothing but air...She looked
around and Mousse was nowhere to be seen...

	"Looking for me?" a voice said, amusement oozing from his tone. 

	Shampoo whirled to face Mousse smiling at her with that hollow look in his
eyes. She advanced and tried a high kick, missing him by a mile. Then she
continued with a combination of punches and kicks, pouring all her skill
into it, yet, she could not even touch him...Shampoo stopped suddenly, her
chest heaving with tiredness.

	Mousse tilted his head and said, "Awww...poor darling...let me end your
miseries!!!!" 

	Shampoo didn't even see him hit her, all she could feel now was pain...She
looked up at Mousse through the haze of her tears, her chest tightening in
the anticipation of the killing strike...Then...she felt him stroking her
hear, whispering into her ear,

	"I'm giving you another chance, Shampoo...share your love with me..."
Tears streamed down his face, mixing with the blood on her face. He held
her face and continued, "Please...please...I don't know what's happening to
me...please...I love you too much to let anyone else have you..."

	 "Never..." she whispered...Shampoo stared into his eyes, seeing pain and
confusion...yet...one thing swallowed all the others at her very
words......madness....... And as she slowly whispered his name...
