I'm rather fond of this series. :)
   In the first place, I like the job you did with the Snow-Woman and her
Tengu associate. Far too often, new characters in fics are rather one
dimensional and dull. This, by contrast, is a excellent blending of myth
and personality. 
   The plot's decent enough....I admit to being curious as to whether or
not it'll really take Akane seven years to get back.
   Not sure why Nabiki suspects Cologne. Granted, Nabiki is devious and
perceptive and all that, but Cologne's story is perfectly plausible. Ah
well, it moves the plot along.
   Hope to see the next installment soon. :)
