Richard,
        
        When I read your story a few weeks ago, I asked 
myself one question.  Is this how Kuno would react?  In a 
Takihashi world, whenever Kuno saw a picture of Akane or his 
beloved 'pig-tailed girl', he would simply go nuts.  So 
imagine if Kuno had done the dirty deed with either Akane or 
Ranma-chan, I think his brain would just melt! (provided he 
survived the ordeal.)

        However, in the world that you've created, Kuno is 
more introspective, infact he is rather noble. He's an 
individual who bordered on the edge of insanity, yet 
maintains his balance with the help of Nabiki. 

        So when the union of Nabiki and Kuno occurred, his 
insistence on 'honorable marriage' is understandable. But so 
is Nabiki's reply that she's not going to marry Kuno (at 
least not immediately).

        I agree with many who would say that most 'lemon' 
fan fiction stories are either boring or ham-handed in 
handling the subject of physical love. However I believe 
this story covered the situation with a degree of maturity 
and common sense.   


Best Regards,
