This I might not change much.  My Kasumi is Belldandy's earthly avatar.

        This reminds me of an AMG/Ranma crossover idea I was toying with
earlier, what if Kasumi WAS Belldandy.  Bell in a human disguise for 19
years, maybe as part of a wish Soun made.  It would be Belldandy before
AMG, actual story could be about when it's time for her to go.

This would be cool.  :)

I worked hard to make Ikaru likeable but not perfect.  For one thing, I
didn't want to get accused of self-insertion.  :)

        Okay, I was getting a little worried about that.. actually from the
point that she starts talking about her ex-american boyfriend.  It kinda
rubbed me the wrong way but I suppose it was important for the story
somehow.

Actually, it's not important at all.  It was an in-joke; there's a
certain someone who's quite the Ukyophile whose first name is James who
I thought might like to date Ukyo for a while.  :)  If it's too
distracting I could get rid of it, but I am extremely reluctant to do so
- I can be allowed a little self-indulgence, can't I?  ^_^
