Yeesh. And after all the talk about copyrights and such.

Just paste this into the story, folks.

Ahem.

"This is an original work of fiction based on characters and ideas created and 
owned by Rumiko Takahashi and by the licensed distributors of her work. No 
infringement of any existing copyright is intended. The story itself, for what 
it's worth, is mine. Any reasonable distribution of it is fine. Just let me 
know you liked it enough to show it to someone else."

We now return you to normality.
