Author's Note: Dr. Tofu's occupation has been changed slightly for the
purposes of this story; he is a physician rather than a chiropractor in
this fic, for reasons which will probably become obvious.

(gomen for the late c&c...I've been busy lately)

I just got around to reading this...wow.  It was very good, I liked it
a lot.  The only thing that I have a slight problem with is Kodachi
seemingly taking on Shampoo, Mousse, and Cologne all at once and 
literally beating them all to death.  I think Cologne, as old and as
wise as she is, would have either a) detected Kodachi's presence 
earlier or b) done something about it.  It doesn't make sense to me
that we don't hear from the old crone until they find her dead and
broken body, considering she's the one to usually tell Ranma and co.
exactly what the heck is going on in a variety of situations.

Other than that...very chilling.  I love the combat scene with the
Principal!  I can just see him with those scissors in my head...very
good writing indeed.  It is really a masterful blend of several 
elements of Bram Stoker's story with r 1/2.  Very well done.
