"Well, why not?! Ain't there a kami for busses?!"
Skuld bopped her on the head. "No, there isn't!"
Oh Nabiki! We want you to volunteer for a job. we need
someone to be the new Kami for busses. That will help pay
for what you did to Ranko, or we could use a tester for
Urd's potions.
"I wouldn't wait, Akane-chan, if this is what you truly want. Once
it really sinks in that Ranma may not be able to take over the dojo,
Daddy's going to start wondering who to engage you to for the sake
of the Art. Grab him quick. Take him! Before it's too late on any
front."
You know this does explain why Genma and Soun like each
other, they are alike. Selfish and thoughtless, stupid and
cowardly, both set a goal and will sell out anyone to
achieve that goal. Whatever the cost in human lives and pain
is fine as long as they achieve their goal, other people's
pain and suffering anyway. Son or daughter, wife or child,
will be sold out as long as Genma and/or Soun get what they
want. I have this feeling Ranma isn't going to see much of
either after death, not if he's living in Heaven anyway.
Flash. Flash. Flash-flash. Before she knew it, Nodoka was surrounded
by a small mob of curly heads... and the occasional feminine hairdo
representing those goddesses of flexible tastes.
Greek gods, the difference between them and demons always
eludes me. The more stories from then I read the less I
would like to ever meet any of them. Arrest the whole bunch
for rape, torture and other assorted crimes. Most of them
make Happosei look undersexed and wholesome.
Belldandy stared at her tea. "Oh... dear." She thought for a moment
before looking up and smiling. "I'm sure Saotome-san meant well and
was only looking out for Ranma-san's future."
I would truly love to have all three of the goddesses look
up Genma's record on the yggdrasil and comment on it and
him. I suspect even Marller would despise him.
*BOING!!* "Maaa! Kawaiiiii, ne?"*UNBOING!*
Of the whole series this was perhaps the most inevitable
scene and the most Excessively Cute and Waffy of the
millennium. I honestly couldn't picture those two together
without expressing some kind of affection, please note
affection not sex.
"Ranma," he whispered, "I'll get you for this. Send *me* to a place
that won't let me have my darlings, will you? Grrr!"
Well it ain't called Hell for nothing, Happi.
I preferred the original armory scene but the revised
version is ok.
All in all I liked this story very well so far, it started
well and has been improving as you go along.

"I guess I'm just an old-fashioned sentimentalist at heart.
I refuse
to accept a no-win scenario. I hate the thought of a
universe without
justice. If the maneuverings of dark powers can't be
exposed and
defeated by the pure of heart, then there's no point in
anything. I
can't believe that."
