Wow! You did a fabulous job with this story. All of the characters were written perfectly and you did a great job of showing things (very IC and realistic) from their perspectives.

The story was really deep IMO, and it was very interesting to read. Keep up the writing, b/c you are good at it.
I'm looking forward to reading more of your stories. :)

Very nice. Akane's life before Ranma arrived will forever remain a mystery, but I think you've captured the essence of what just a life would be like. I wish to congradulate you on your obvious writing skills and ability to capture a character's soul so well.
