Gotta love the odd fanfic challenge...so here's an odd fanfic challenge.

The rules for this challenge are simple:

Write a fanfic, of any length, in any series, which begins with the
following sentence:


"After such an intense orgasm, she should have been panting heavily;
however, she lay unnaturally still, the rise and fall of a chest filling
with air curiously absent."

Mousse panicked momentarily, then realized what had happened.  He reached
over the side, and reactivated the purloined equipment he had taken from
the hospital.  After a moment, her chest once again bobbed up and down, as
air filtered through her lungs once moreonce more.

"They all gave up on you, Shampoo." he ranted, as he always did after
these circumstances.  "Cologne, Ranma, the rest of them all left you.
They abandoned you.  Did you really believe that Ranma would stay with
you, when he married you?!"  He had clenched his fist, and his voice
had gained volume until he was practically screaming.  He slowly relaxed,
while Shampoo continued to breathe.

Once again master of himself, Mousse continued his tirade.  "You blocked a
poisoned dart meant for your husband, " he spat the last word.  "And they
leave you buried in the ground in thanks." 

He brushed aside the hair that covered a face that had once been
beautiful, before decay had set in.  Mousse ignored the smell, the
decaying flesh, and the maggots that had fallen from the dirty hair.  "But
it's okay, because I'm with you now. For now and always."

Not thinking of Ranma's grief, nor of Cologne's campaign to hunt him down
for defiling Shampoo's grave, but of only the fufillment of his lifelong
dream, he bent to give her a kiss once more.

The sardines weren't worth the trouble.  A few more shots, then 
Ryoga-san would overheat and explode.  Ducking around a corner, 
I managed to lose him as I entered the ramshackle residence of 
my Anime supplier.

One look at his face and I knew that I was betrayed.  "Tell me."
I insisted.  He refused, so I slammed him against the wall.
"Last chance.  Where can Ranma-Ranma find good fanfics?"
"Try Jason Liao." he whispered, before he slumped to the floor.
I heard the sounds of a door splintering as I left through the 
window, one step ahead of Tendo Heavy Industries...
