Okay, here's part 9.  This is the penultimate chapter of my series.

If you think you know how it's going to end, let me know.  I'm still not 
sure.  :)  One of two ways, I think.

	Here's some of ways I think the story can end:
	
	Ryouga and Ranma make up and both gets the nannuichan and everyone lives 
happily ever after, admittedly too idealistic for Ranma setting, though.

	Ryouga confessed his love to Akane and Akane tried her best but still 
rejected him.  The results could be the following:

	a.	Ryouga gives up and goes with Akari.
	b.	This gives him enough motivation to use the Ultimate Perfect 
Shishi Hokodan, probably killing or at least serverly damaging Ranma in the 
process.
	Your story could end with the death of Ranma in hands of Ryouga.  
However, that would admittedly be such a radical turn of events.  Ryouga is 
unlikely to reason at this state, so maybe it would be best to just change him 
to P-Chan and try to reason with him later.

	BTW, I'm just wondering that since your "Thy Inward Love" has been the 
popular fanfic lately, how much C & C did you get on each part?  I noticed that 
there is a lot of responses to it but most of it isn't really C & C, like the 
stuff on Japanese grammar and the following debate over Akane.  Just want to 
know what should be the "normal" number of C & C on a Ranma fanfic.  I don't 
know.  I don't expect much c & C, but I figured that 2 responses isn't really 
much of C & C at all.  Therefore, I wanted to gather some statistics and see how 
enthuastic are the FFML and whether they're just ignoring me or the whole list 
altogether.
