For the people who can't quite remember what's happened in 
previous parts of the story, here's a quick and dirty summary 
of the preceeding parts of TIGER CLAW.  

The actual story is located on my webpage at:

What has gone on previously:

	Part 1: It was just another spring day at the Tendo Dojo.  Kuno
and Ryoga show up to challenge Ranma in front of all his fiancees AND
his mother.  Howver, the night before, both Kuno and Ryoga received a
mysterious female visitor bearing nasty rumors, magical gifts, and
promises of victory.  The next day, it becomes painfully clear that
Kuno and Ryoga are mere pawns in someone's game.  It is even more
clear that this mastermind knows a great deal about Ranma and his
acquaintances, particularly their respective strengths and weaknesses.
 Kuno's and Ryoga's challenge turns unexpectedly nasty as a sorceress
called Yonoko begins to weave her spells.  Between black magic and the
Neko-ken, the duel quickly becomes bloodier and much more lethal than
anyone could have possibly imagined.  

	Part 2: Ryoga and Kuno are packed off to the hospital.  While
Akane has her hands full with a feral Ranma, Nabiki does her best to
sort out the chaos of the morning's battle.  Several serious
confrontations occur between various parties.  Wife against husband. 
Mother against son.  Fiancee against fiancee.  Some people manage to
accept what's happened to Ranma but others are in denial.  Nabiki and
Ranma have an emotional and surprisingly candid discussion about what
to do.  

	Part 3:  The true scope of Ebon's plans for Ranma become
frighteningly clear.  In the meantime, Shampoo and Ukyo have a great
deal of thinking to do about their respective relationships with
Ranma.  Shampoo has even more trouble -- a nasty, ex-Amazon cousin who
'conveniently' decides to visit Nerima.  Nabiki warns Akane about her
bad habits regarding Ranma.  As evening falls, Ranma undergoes some
obvious -- and some not so obvious -- changes as the darkness of night
brings storm, fire, and mayhem for more than one person.
