        Not to be mistaken for the rest of the Replica thread, one thing
that bothered me about the story as I woke up this morning.  If "Revenge"
was Ryoga's son then wouldn't he have noticable pig like features being the
son of a Jusenkyo cursed person.  The Herb/Mint/Lime effect?  Plus being of
Hibiki blood would give him a bad sense of direction, how about Kuroshiro
the family dog?

A gene occasionally skips a generation. Besides, the way I figure it, 
Fukushuu was SO focussed on killing Ryouga, that he would not allow anything
to stop him. As for the pig thing... Well... Let's just say I didn't put
too much stock in that (ie. I forgot!).

        Overall a decent fic, brief but to the point.  I believe the point
was made that Ryoga won even though he died, perhaps it could be worthwhile
to have everyone realize this as part of the story.  The first time Ryoga's
succeded at something.  I know the guy is dying and all but have him say a
few things to his "son".  Near the end it's not much of a fight, just Ryoga
getting beat up and "Revenge" ranting.  Why not have Ryoga point out his
death would mean his final victory.  His son could react in a variety of
ways, it is a darkfic afterall.

You're wrong. Fukushuu HATES Ryouga passionately. He would not listen to a
word that Ryouga said and would kill him no matter what. His entire life
was spent preparing for his revenge. NOTHING else mattered and nothing would
have stopped him.

P-word.
