KRISTAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

Please,please,please, MORE STORY!!!!!
.....Ranma, like the legendary Energizer Rabbit of lore, is still going.....
.....Akane has finally, truly, opened her heart.....
.....Mousse as shown that (as I firmly believe) quietness and caring are
among the greates strengths of all....
.....The old ghoul has shown her ruthlessness and I think, seen it matched
by Nabiki Tendo.....
.....And I have a slight suspicion that Kuno has finally recieved a harsh
lesson in reality.....

This chapter was awseome. I do not believe that the flame of this story has
burnt out, but instead, it's just been smoldering and is now very hot.
(Hey, coal, and wood, are hotter as glowing embers then as roaring flames,
and can spring back o life very quickly)

About the ONLY thing I would protest, I would have loved to see Ukyou
concious long enough to audibly croak out and ask why Ryoga didn't back her
play, and possibly see him launch his attack, MABYE seeing the transformation.

Nabiki "Make my day" Tendo. Good shot, good attitude, I do believe Cologne
will try her though. At this point, she has to. She cannot afford not to.
For Cologne, I think the only way out now, is to win all the marbles. After
everything that has happened, she has to try to win.

Tatewaki Kuno. We have a bit of a wild card here. (this is my personal
belief) If he is ever stripped of his delusions, if he could ever focus on
a true objective, he could very well be, if not the most skilled of the
entire bunch (doubtful) but the most dangerous (highly probable). Imagine
that force of will, the focus, the ability to believe what he wants set on
something like pure defeat of an opponent. Not for the pig tailed goddess.
Not for Akane Tendo. Not even for Nabiki, or honor, or vengence, but simply
because it has to be done. (Note, J. Ausin Wilde, when Nuko broke them out
of the villa, truly frightening)

Please Krista, reach into your heart and fan that flame. Find the magic,
let it flow through your fingers and onto the screen, I truly wait with a
half-held breath for more of this story.

Sweet water and light laughter

Ray "The Texas Ryoga"
