   Okay, folks, you asked for it, you got it. Here is the long 
awaited second part of "The Death of Ukyou" trilogy. But, before we 
begin, I should warn you that I am attempting another experiment into 
Ranma fanfiction. Namely, the use of the "Documentation" style of 
writing, where the story is told through documents relating to the 
events going on in the story. 
   Now, near the middle of the story, I chamge format slightly, this 
is because there just wasn't anyway to relate the events in a 
document style, hopefully this won't detract from the overall effect.
   Enough notes, on with the show...

I liked this quite a bit. However, a minor nit or two to pick...

Watanabe: Yeah. You killed her. The M.E.'s report said there was 
nothing wrong with her. In fact, he said that he was surprised she 
died at all. She was in excellent physical condition. 

This rather surprised me, given that it flat-out contradicts what I 
remember from the first story -- although it was described as a spiritual 
malady, it was also shown as having very profound physical effects.
