 First the good stuff.  This installment is an outgrowth of
the rest of the series and provides characterization, especially
for Nabiki.  (She=92s gotten really creepy.)  If this is still a
peequel to your other piece, then I hope you=92ve already plotted a
really good way to resolve this.

 The short answer is, Yes, I have plotted a way out of this apparent
dilemma. You really expected otherwise? Oh, ye of little faith!

  If not, I=92m interested in

seeing what happens.  I'm tentatively assuming that all the
jiggling about the diamonds and Nabiki and Akane=92s behavior is
some reaction to Ranma's changes and will be explained in later
chapters, as Ranma=92s lack of ability to assume female form.  If
not, well, the bouncy-bouncy squealy-squealy I can take as comic
relief, and Nabiki has a firm basis provided for her actions, but
Akane?

It was intended as some of both, actually.

I'd also be interested if at least Ranma's dragon side
wants to accumulate another "treasure;" Ranma hasn=92t had any
serious inter-personality conflicts.

Nope. Ranma belonga Akane, period. Other interesting developments later, bu=

Ranma belongs to Akane, probably more than she belongs to him.

Oh, the LEMON part stinks. I needed help with it and after having posted it
to FFML, I think I will get help. In fact, I've gotten help with it already
in ways I did not expect. I have brow beat my poor pre-reading crew enough
with it. I will undertake to revise it. If I can get it written to my
satisfaction, I will repost it. If not, it goes in the bit bucket.
