Well done story NightElf, but I do have a few plot related
questions though....
	I don't know why nobody brought this up when they read the earlier
draft, but from the sound of it Ranma had everybody left in Herb's palace
after the initial assault put to the sword (more than a little harsh at
the very least, especially in light of what happened to Herb).
	Herb's treatment is harder to judge; on one hand they _did_ strip
him of everything he remotely valued, but some would regard a new identity
to be a mild punishment for 4 counts of manslaughter (at least).  On top
of that, what are they gonna do with the kids (they cannot risk keeping
them near Shampoo 2.0 or they _might_ revive unpleasant memories). 
	Stupid question: What's going on in Nerima (Soun's just
effectively lost two of his daughters, and I doubt the Kunos are too happy
about Ranma's dissapearance and Akane's death)?
