NICE TOUCH. Very cute. I like how you've made love to be something
completely neutral here, that can take one to the height of goodness or

at this point, even if I take personal moral issue with some of your
descriptions of love. A question: Who the heck is the cat girl?
I'm not sure, but my guess is that the cat girl is also Death.
Correct.
Remember this part:
"Look," Death said as he began to explain. "What you see before you is
your
interpretation of me. I appear differently to each living thing. It all
depends on what your mind can envision in its attempt to understand me.
I
am a conceptual entity, and have no 'true' form. Not one in the
conventional sense, anyway. I simply am."
The way I understand it, Ranma sees Death as a cat girl because of the
Neko-ken training. Either that, or Ranma has a _weird_ >imagination.
Correct. As you pointed out the form Death takes varies, and in Ranma's
case, his fear of cats became closely associated with a fear of death
(small surprise, considering how traumatizing the neko-ken was) So when
Death appeared, Ranma's mind conceptualized it as the cat girl.
