Another roar sounded, and she decided to follow Rei and watch her student

in

action.  It was just to study how she fought and see how she could improve
her training class, it certainly wasn't because she wanted to watch the
beautiful Senshi in action in that really short skirt.  Not at all.

I guess there are limits to her self-honesty.

***Who ever said Zhu Shu was honest with _herself_?  Do you really think she
has been over the whole Ranma thing?***

The imp continued laughing as the energy washed over it without effect .

So

all of its lures were coming to play. The teacher had to be close. It
shrugged off the effects of a Lightning Dragon as it smiled. "So good of

you

all to come my little {Sailorscouts : Sailors : Senshi : Sailor Senshi}."

It waited as the five girls surrounded

it. "Now my pet!"

Rei screamed in denial as Zhu Shu {impacted : hit} the rubble with a

sickening thud,

and scrambled in her direction heedless of her own wounds and bruises.

It seems to me that this might have been a better place to end Book 1.


***I ended book one with the close of the quest started in the first
chapter, and stayed mostly Ranma through book 1.  Book 2 is going to have
more SM stuff, so SM type events like getting killed and resurrected will
happen (let's see, I think all the Senshi have died at least 4 or 5 times).
I didn't want to use the Silver Plot Device here to save the day, and it's
kind of a defining moment in the development of the overall plot.  It also
gives Rei an incentive to actually try and work out how she really feels,
and possibly guilt herself into what may eventually prove to be an
interesting relationship. . .  Besides, if  Zhu Shu stayed dead, I'd have no
story, ne?  And this seemed *too* much of a cliffhanger to end a book on.

Of Course, I can put it to a vote.  Who's in favor of this being the last
chapter of Book one?***
