Greetings!

Just thought I'd add my few cents' worth here.

Then, with a huge input of Jolt Cola, and a lot of coffee, (caffeine

<SNIP>

strange... 

Good Lord, you actually *drink* Jolt?!  Eyuck!!!  >P

Fujiwara:      Family name, historical significance

If she gets excited easily, would that be 'hysterical significance'?

Hishigowa Hitomi

Hishigowa:

Hitomi:        The pupil of the eye, the human body

Age:           16
Hair:          Red
Eyes:          Greenish-blue
Height:        1.5 metres
Weight:        48 kilograms

Gee, now where have I heard a similar description before....

What do you get if you combine martial arts and a love of shopping?  A
Karate shop!

<DESCRIP OF SISTERHOOD DELETED>

God, I hope I never meet these people!  (Not that I think I'd have to worry
about anything, but it's better to be safe than sorry...)

"Hai, Sensei!" she answered. 

Detecting attackers, huh?   Ahem...."Hai sensei disturbance in the Force!"
(I'm sorry...just couldn't resist!!)

"In any case,"  Mita continued, "You'll need your passport, sword, three
changes of clothes, food, bathing equipment, tent, and futon.  In
addition, you will each be given five hundred thousand yen.  Remember,
this is not a lot of money, but it should last you the six weeks.  You do
not have much extra for luxuries that you do not need." 

These people travel light, don't they?

Anyhow, sounds interesting.  I like the cultural conflict aspect to things,
and look forward to seeing how that develops.  (I hope Hitomi doesn't
*really* have that problem, however.)

So far, so good! Keep up the good work!
