We move on to Shampoo in this one.  This is a vicious story; tell me if
you think it's terribly out of character (I've already received some
feedback on Kuno and Nabiki in my previous chapter).  Personally, I
don't think so (which is why I'm writing it this way :).  However, your
thoughts are welcome as always.

Humm...I didn't have any trouble with Shampoo or Cologne at all. This is 
how I see them portrayed. I know some others have said that it's OOC but 
if you look back at Shampoo through out the manga, it's pretty dead on. 
Shampoo wouldn't think that Ranma would be bothered by her killing 
Akane. Akane is only an object in the way. A thing for killing. I 
imagine Cologne has figured some convincing lie to tell Ranma to avert 
his wrath off of Shampoo.
 

Then came: the sword blurring, the sound of metal slicing flesh, and blackness.

Humm...that's pretty final though I can see a variety of ways to go with 
it. This is a classic 'cliff-hanger.' Who thinks Mousse is the one 
getting cut?

Another excellent installment.

O.K. I lied. I found a bit of time. ^_^
