[Akuma:(Grins) Sounds like fun.
Ranma: YOU think this is FUN?!?!
Gohan: Relax Ranma.  He doesn't know.
Akuma:(Curious) Know what?
Gohan: You'll see...]

^_^ Boy he's in for a surprise!

[Akuma: Does what?
(Gohan fills Akuma in on the previous parts of Mamas Hand.)
Akuma:(Battle aura flaring) WHAT?!?!?!!?!?!  THAT UNHOLY 
{Censored}!!!  I SHALL TEAR HIS STOMACH OUT AND EAT IT RAW!!!!!!

Oh another to add to the list, arigato. Let's see fifty-nine so far.

[Ranma:(Frightened) C-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c CAAAAAAATTTT!!!!!!!!!]

Damn forgot about that.

"Good night, Usagi-chan," Luna replied, "I'll be up in a few minutes.
"  Nodding, Usagi left the room, leaving Luna alone with her thoughts.


[Akuma: In other words, the cat was lonely.]

<snicker> Well that's one interpretation.

[Ranma: Huh?  What's she talking about?
Akuma:(Shakes his head) Fool.  She feels reponsible for not acting 
sooner to help her daughter and herself.
Gohan: Yeah... but I think this self tourturing is what that... 
(growls) slime, wants.]

Maybe, maybe not. It could be fore shadowing for future events.

[Akuma:(Angry) "I had good dream"?  That monster has damaged her 
brain!  She's talking like SHAMPOO!
Ranma:(Thinking) Why do I feel like I'm about to be crushed in a bear 
hug?]

[Ranma: She's actually PETTING that thing?!
Gohan:(Angry) "Had good friend"?  I think you're right Akuma, 
Endymion must have hit her in the head!]

These inconsistencies in speech will be explained in a later part.

[Akuma: Trusting others will only end up with you being hurt again.  
I say, don't trust ANYONE.
(SSJ Gohan blasts Akuma with a Ki Ball.)
Gohan:(Powering down) Shut up!
Akuma:(Smoking) Oh, bite me.]

(winces) That had to hurt.

[Ranma: Did you just sniffle?
Gohan: Wasn't me.
(The two heros look at Akuma.)
Akuma: It CERTANLY wasn't ME.
(When Gohan and Ranma go back to watching the fic, Akuma pulls out a 
black hankey and quickly dabs his eyes before putting it back in his 
gi.)]

^_^ Well what do you know... 

[Akuma:(Mike Myers voice) You little cheeky monkey!  Stop looking at 
that kids bum!
Ranma/Gohan: O_o;]

^_^; That was not what she meant... sheesh!

[(All three chuckle.)
Akuma: Now she really is a "Chibi-Usa".
Ranma: What's THAT supposed to mean?
Akuma: Oh please.  You must have figured out by NOW that...
(Pluto appears out of nowhere, smacks Akuma over the head with the 
Time Rod and vanishes again.)]

(wince) Oh now THAT had to hurt...

[Akuma: Welts?
Gohan: Remember what we told you about the end of chapter 3?
(Akumas eyes thin into slits.)
Akuma:(In a dangrously calm voice) I'll... be... back.
(Akuma teleports.)]

Uh oh... <whine>I hate when they do that!</whine>

[Ranma: HOLD IT!  WAIT A MINUTE!  If she can get her OWN hair in that 
crazy style of hers then she should be able to the kids hair without 
too much trouble.]

Well Usagi was getting frustrated and Usagi is known for her lack of
patients. Eventually she should be able to get it.

Akuma:(As he brushes flecks of dried blood off his shoulder) Ah.  
That was most relaxing.
Gohan: What did you do?
Akuma:(Evil grin) Let's just say that THIS worlds Endymion will not 
get the chance to become like the one we just observed.
Ranma:(Thinking) What a nut bag. (Aloud) Oh well, we'll be back for 
the next chapter.

Thnaks for the C&C very hurmour ans helpful. Next chapter will likely
appear after Christmas. I did say this past weekend but I'm scrambling to
complete three other fics. One's done, the other's in final edit and the
third's about half way written.
