Actually, I had the same reaction...especially to Autumn.  Everyone 
acted so OOC, it was a bit disconcerting.  Especially the part about 
Nabiki and Kasumi knowing martial arts, and Kasumi jumping into the pile 
of leaves...I couldn't imagine it.

It was very low key, and a good change of pace from the normal frenetic 
pace of other 'fics.  Good discussion of emotions, too.
