I liked this.  Very depressing.  Also makes some good points:  there are 
some demons you can't fight with fists.

The only thing I'm not sure I like is the ending; that is, Ranma being 
female, laughing at the wedding, cutting off his pigtail.  The killing 
himself part is fine (er, in context of the story, I mean.)  Maybe you 
could have a couple of paragraphs at the end describing Ranma's suicide; 
that would be terrible (in a good way).

Oh, small point:  lots of kids die of cancer, 18 isn't that young.

Loved the story.  Now I'm going to be all depressed for hours, which is 
the mark of a good story.  :(  :)
