Sorry about the previous post.  I hit the stupid send button before I
could send anything.  Have to remember not to do that.

OK, comments.  Overall, it's a good story, but I got lost in the very
first part.  For one thing, what was the deal with Ranma not hearing folk
come in?  Was that supposed to be an injoke, because Ryoga says the same
thing later on.

Akane obviously not getting how Ryoga feels about her was good.  I think
you should have used her more insofar as dragging him to Kodachi's place
along with Nabiki and Gosunkugi.  Originally, she was with them, but then
later she somehow drops out of the story.  It would've been nice (and
funnier) if she remained to tell Ryoga what to do while Ryoga continued
to explain that Kodachi isn't the one.

I sort of skimmed through the rest, as I was pressed for time, but the
ending was great.  That was a great touch with the nerve gas and the
lighting. Perfectly Kodachi-ness.  And the epilogue had me cracking up.
