Hate Spice
By Ryo Hoshi


     "Mousse?" Shampoo asked, disbelieving of the way Mousse was acting.
     "I hate you, Shampoo," Mousse spat.  "Die."
      With that, Mousse launched into a flurry of kicks and punches, far too
many for Shampoo to even attempt to block.  Nearly every one connected, each
with power that Shampoo never thought Mousse capable of mustering.  The last
hit sent Shampoo flying into the wall.  Just before passing out, she heard
Mousse one last time.
     "Now, Shampoo, the real pain begins."

     "Hate spice?" Shampoo asked Cologne.
	"Yes...when put into one's food, it turns one against the one you love," she
explained while adding a generous amount of the spice to a bowl of ramen.
"Give this bowl to Akane."

	By a long string of mistakes, misunderstandings, and plain old bad luck, the
now cold bowl of ramen ended up being eaten by Mousse.

     The lights of the ambulance flashed as they carried a straight-jacketed
Mousse away from the scene of the murder.
     Two detectives watched, talking.  "I just can't believe it..."
     "What, that somebody could do *that* to another human being?  Come on,
you've seen worse..."
     "Yeah, but everyone says that he was in love with her..."
     "Love can do funny things to people."
