[FFML] [Fanfic][R1/2] Ranma Monogatari Part 7

Description: Ranma finds himself in the body of a Heian
era nobleman trying to figure out which of his very
familiar girlfriends is killing his Akane-like wife.
Fusion with part of "The Tale of Genji".
Don't forget "Torikaebaya Monogatari" - although that doesn't really
start to come into play until chapter nine :)
Comments: OK, so why does the Ranma of this world visit
the Reikeiden lady if she isn't his mistress?
There is actually a reason (which I certainly *hope* is a good reason),
but I won't be getting to that explicitly for a few more chapters
(maybe in 2002?).
Frankly,
I'm a little disappointed that "Ranma Monogatari" turns
out to be almost as virginal as "Ranma Transexual Jock".
...
Having not even heard of "Ranma Transexual Jock," I'm not real sure
how to take this. But no, no lemon-lime in the near future that I
was planning on. I could probably make it so, but not without
(IMHO) compromising Ranma's character to do so. Not that there's
anything wrong with that in a lemon-for-lemon's-sake, but this
ain't that kind of story :P
The cat-psychosis was of course well written, although I'd
expect Ranma to go neko from fighting the fear that hard.
Something I'd thought about... But one cat hasn't generally been
enough to make him "go neko" (nice turn of phrase, that) except
with extended physical contact; generally, he just goes comatose
or flees. Of course, the Reikeiden Lady would probably have been
able to... make use of his being comatose :)
Thanks for the comments!
