Ranma/ Vampire the Masquerade Crossover

What if the "Old Ghoul" really was an old ghoul?  That is to say, what
if Cologne really was a VtM style ghoul, explaining her longevity and
extreme fitness.  Of course, Cologne would be an 'independent' ghoul,
since she doesn't take orders from anybody.  Suppose her supply of
vampire blood starts to run low....
She gathers together all the prominent Nerima martial artists and
organizes a Vampire hunt!  "Don't worry son-in-law.  They aren't really
alive.  Killing them merely puts their souls to rest."  Dead Kindred
here, dead Kindred there, dead Kindred everywhere!  Team Ranma cuts a
path through the undead population of Tokyo.  Thh hunters become the
hunted and the real question becomes if the Kindred can band together
enough to mount any effective resistance.  Cologne:  "This time I'm
going to get some of that Toreador blood.  No more Nosferatu junk for
me!"  It might make for an interesting 'turn the tables' fic where it's
the WoD denizens who find themselves outmatched.
What do you think?  Anybody want to do this one?

Interesting idea, but there are a couple of problems...1)  Any Kindred with
Obfuscate 2 or above would be impossible for the Nerimites to find.
2)  There are only a few Western Kindred in Japan (and most of those are
Ventrue).  The Japanese have their own version of Vampires though.
Supposedly they are the descendents of Ameratsu's (the sun goddess) and her
brother/husband's (can't remember his name) third child, described in the
ledgends as a "leech child".  Those "Vampires" are different from Western
Kindred, but I'm not sure how.  (a more information can be found in
_A_World_of_Darkness_ published by White Wolf--the company ^_^)
