WAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!  There are *bits* missing!

       SPLASH!  A wet and tired Ranma-chan emerged from the river,
shaking her red pigtailed head to get the water out of her ears.  The
figure that followed gave no start when this happened.  It had happened
before.  Ranma-chan quickly ran back towards the dojo, and the figure was
left to speculate what had happened.  <This is the fourth time that the
girl has booted the young one out of the dojo this week.  A normal person
would be severely injured after that, but not he.  Also, he turns into a
woman when he
l tomorrow morning.>  With that, the figure sprang to a nearby rooftop
and leapt in the direction of town.

See?

       "Fine then."  She dropped the bullwhip and picked up Kodachi's
ribbon.  "Entanglement!  Grapple-Toss!"  Even before she uttered the
strikes, they were performed with efficiency and speed.  Fujikawa went
through all of the basic ribbon movements, taking the dummy and hurling it
across the ring, picking it up, snapping at it in midair, tossing it over
and over again, each move performed more quickly than the previous one.
Finally she shouted, "Cobra's Strike!" and with a quick movement of her
wrist, shat

And again....

       Kodachi slumped to the middle of the mat.  As the rest of the team
went through the basic forms, many thoughts swirled through her mind.  <I
don't believe it.  Her movements were quicker than mine!  She shattered
that practice dummy and she didn't even use my "special ribbon"!  What's
wrong with me?>  She lifted her head to study Fujikawa.  The coach had
started the team with the basic forms and was now instructing them on the
proper usage of the rope.  She spoke with brusque words, but Kodachi could

 shock that her technique had begun to slip.  Fujikawa was right; her
skills had deteriorated because devoted more time to defeating her love's
fiancees and chasing after HER Ranma than to her art.

       Happosai decided on the spot that he had to have them.  They would
be the prize of his collection.  And so, he followed the girl to her home,
but it was guarded too well by both that ninja and her alligator.  He
decided to free them while she was at school.  And then he almost fainted
when he realized that she went to an all girl's school.  <This is it,> he
thought to himself, <a true liberation!>  He envisioned them all, cotton
and silk, colored and plain.....  <Enough, back to work.>  He finally

Yet once more...
*sigh*

       TO BE CONTINUED.....


Is it over yet?  No, quite frankly, it's just begun.

Goody!  Zen wants to read more.  The premise has a LOT of potential, though
Zen does hope that a little more of Fujikawa's back story will be revealed
in future installments.  Zen will also be looking forward to seeing
Happousai take it on th chin for once.  Though, Zen suspects that the
Tendous and the Saotomes are gonna take some collateral damage.

Now... where can Zen get an undamaged version of *this* bit?

Foxtrot the Furryous, BTFH on vacation
