Idea: Ranma looses the match with Kodachi, due to Akane's intervention.



The problem with this fic is that it DOESN'T pair Ranma with Kodachi, it

simply severs Akane's hold on him. (From her point of view).



If anything, this would push Ranma and Akane closer together, becasue:



    A> The "threat" to each other's freedom that they represent would be

    "gone".



    and B> They each will feel that they've let the other one down and

    be espically less abusive to each other.



There are better points in the series to pair Ranma with Kodachi.  With

the added benefit that later points have Kodachi really hateful of

onna-Ranma.



What if Ranma wanted the relationship to continue or was just pretending

to go with Kodachi (to protect Akane from Ukyou and Shamp), wouldn't he

be in the same possition WRT his/her curse as P-chan has with Akane?
