Okay... Gotta say that I saw it coming... Nabiki was dead the instant
Ranma crawled out of that pit. But I found it nicely done, with a
certain artistic flair. Heh heh... Ranma did say that if Nabiki
interfered, she would take an accidental spill onto the road and be hit
by a car... Course, the last thing she should see should be Ranma's
cold, satisfied face mouthing the words "Told you so."
Well, we try to keep Ranma's exact mental state and good-evil ratio a
mystery. While many people are undoubtably feeling at the moment that
there's little doubt that he's evil as spit... that was also the general
consensus at the end of Chapter 5, when Ranma had his first 'chat' with
Nabs in the room. By the end of Chapter 6, he was again being viewed as a
possible grey area.
Having him sneer in Nabiki's dying face would give the game away, and
possibly be ooc. ;)
As for Akane's reaction to the sparring, I kinda missed that part. Will
have to re-read it... But I have to agree that the only person that has
any chance of stopping Ranma is Akane. She is the only one that he
seems to care about, albeit in a sick and twisted way.
He likes Kasumi.... ;)
Ah, no matter. I'm still chanting "Go Ranma! Go Ranma!" while doing
the Cabbage Patch....
Maybe I am a sick sociopath as well....
Keener, I am getting right on the Suicide Blast thing... Almost have it
down perfectly! ^_-

Well, I like you. You're nice, and you're funny. And you don't smoke.
Yeah, okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days
out of the month I'm not much fun to be around either.
