On the kami plane:

The Shadowhare raged at the scene that his scrying pool showed. At the

he was going he would never be as feared as his chief rival, the

It was difficult enough trying to get people to dress up as carrots and
allow themselves to be attacked by ravenous rabbits, but the few times

they

did and were sent into their usagi state some idiot with the neko-ken

came

by and spoiled the fun.

It couldn't be a coincidence. It had to be the damned Shadowcat's doing.

It

was his fault no one took the Shadowhare seriously. And if he had to

hear

one more person refer to him derisively as the 'Shadowbunny', he would

kick

them into oblivion.

He had to come up with a plan. A shift in the scrying pool showed two
different scenes, an odd creature with black fur that looked like a

rabbit

and cat fusion and a blond girl in a sailor fuku. There was the

potential

for something there, he was sure of it. Even the girl's name, Usagi, was

a

sure sign that some greater destiny awaited her. Perhaps if the two were
bonded together...

I sent her a copy, of course, and she died laughing I'm afraid. 

	BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!

Yes. It looked just like that. So don't expect the next part of HOI to come
out anytime soon. At least until they can bring her back.^_^

	This was GREAT!

Thanks a lot for the comments. Nice to know you're still reading. (Yep. I
still remember your comments from chapter 8.)
