<< Krista, Zen thinks this is a *wonderful* piece of work.  Excellent
 descriptions, good dialogue and characterization, excellent pacing, and Zen
 cannot *wait* to see the rest of it.
 
 You *will* be sending it soon, ne?  ^_^

<blush!>  Thanks!  Modest though I try to be, I'm never one to refuse praise.
 ^_^  My response to flames, on the other hand, is quite Kasumi-like (ie:
oblivious wide-eyed smile).  I'm glad you liked it.  The next part will be
posted by next Sunday, if not sooner.
