I _love_ this story overall and it's premise is wonderful (Kuno
shall be hating life in the near future, I can tell).  Unfortunately, the
catlayst you have chosen (namely Cologne's villiany) rings painfully
false.
	If Cologne wanted to 'eliminate' Shampoo's compitition for Ranma
and drag the latter back to Joketsuzoku, she is more than capable of doing
so without gambling the loyalty and _life_ of her chosen heir by using the
magiks you describe on her without her knowledge.
	It's your fic, but perhaps a better beginning would involve
someone (Benares was still around last time I checked), upon learning of
what Nodoka was and what her boy may become, bespelling a convinient
puppet (one who already hates the target) to eliminate Ranma before his
power awakes.  Given that the unlucky puppet is Mousse, a screw-up
involving Akane is not that improbable (esp. if the Shampoo/Akane duel
takes place as depicted).
