Yes, I couldn't help but notice. :) Nice to see you back on the writing
wagon. I'll personally plug the series now as being my favorite, and be
done with it.
I'm passing fond of it too. I fact, I just started re-reading the whole
saga.
What has gone before in this story (or at least what will help you
understand what is going on):
Yes. Too much to tell in a handful of paragraphs. I am considering
making a 'datafile' if you're interested.
I'm creating a matrix of characters versus chapter they appear in.
"How is my grandson, Kisaragi?" the Director interrupted suddenly.
Ayaka: Not as good a lay as you. But he's young, and has a lot to learn.
Director: I meant who is he 'doing'.
Don't ask the question if you don't want the answer.
The Director raised an eyebrow. His voice took on a more thoughtful
tone. "Oh? Well, I suppose I could find someone else to do the job.
I understand that young Sakuranbo-san is free for an assignment now.
Perhaps I could assign her to the Academy as a nurse or something."
Hmm. Not familiar with that one.
I was thinking she was from UY, but there is a Sakuranbo in xxx too.
A glint of moonlight reflected off the silvery CD-ROM sitting on his
desk, attracting his attention. Since he wasn't going to be getting
any more sleep, he decided to make productive use of the time. He had
been neglecting this particular mystery for too long. He also needed
to finally pick up the files he had managed to obtain from the Security
Directorate. They had been shifting from cache to cache around the
world, mixed in with the normal data traffic.
Yeah. Who did send him those? Hinako?
Possibly. She found a disk in Ranma's Phoenix file in chapter 4. It
included files protected by Imperial Edict Seal that sound like the
files Ranma cracked. Depending on how closely they are held, he might
have gotten the same data from other sources though.
Martial-Nabiki turned to look at her. She smiled once again. "You'll
beat Ranma Saotome and show him who the true heir to the Anything-Goes
School is. I have faith in you." Then she paused, feeling the last
bits of herself slipping away.
Hmm. Interesting that it took less time for Nabby to intergrate her
halves than it took for Ranma.
She only has one.
"I love you, Akane Tendo," Gosunkugi murmured when his lips finally
released hers.
And now he dies.
Only if he is very, very lucky.
Wait. Nabiki Tendo? Akane Tendo? Minami blinked, and then her eyes
narrowed. She had heard Akane's name before, from her new friend
Yohko, that the girl was a violent sort by nature. She had also heard
from the young Devil Hunter that Akane had fairly recently developed a
fixation on the other new annoyance in Minami's life, Ranma Saotome.
Because of that jerk, she huffed, her perfect debut at the Imperial
Academy had been ruined.
Hmm. Really need to reread previous chapters. That one eludes me.
She mistook Ranma's aura for possession when she joined his home room
and threw an o-fuda onto his forehead. Chapter 13
