This may have been the funniest installment yet.  Keep it up!

	She would never know that in addition to being nearly 
as blind as
Mousse and allergic to cats, she was also cursed as the result of
Happosai's attempt to cast an "Attract Beautiful Naked Girls To Me"
spell on himself.  It had misfired, and Eiko was the recipient of
it's dubious benefits.  That had been about six months ago, and she
was pretty fed up with it by now.

You _have_ to keep Eiko around as a character!  This is just _too_
good!

	"Hunh... Gone with the Wind?  Saw it a couple of days on video.

"couple of days _ago_"

	Ukyo was desperately wishing she was here as a girl with Ranma--
or nearly any other male-- to hold onto.  This was SCARY.

	Shampoo was watching from under a seat, and every single hair of
her fur was raised.  It took all her self control to keep from
rushing up to Ranma and hiding her head in the trainee girls lap.
This was worse than Hibachan's ghost stories.

Heh!  I liked this, a lot!  I suspect you'll get some quibbles about
OOC her, but who cares!  It works too well!

	"It's creepy, yeah, but it's not really true horror to me.  I
know true horror..."

	"Yeah, I know.  I know.  You've seen Hell."

	"Well, I HAVE."

Heh.  You know, I can't remember any other fanfic which used
Ryouga's phrase like this before.  Seems obvious enough in
hindsight.

	(Oh, NO!  Ranma will think I was following her-- I have 
to hide!)

	Seeking a convenient bush, Akane did exactly that.

	Ranma and Ryoga paused in thier not-exactly-romantic stroll, and
took seats on a park bench that happened to be just in front of a
certain bush.

And how inevitable.  How delicious.  Half the fun of this is your
style, which gives the reader the ability to anticipate where
you're going just early enough to laugh all the harder when it
happens.

But... how could all the things that happened to Ranma not be her
fault?  Innocent coincidence?  THAT often?  She'd have to see it to
believe it--

	"OW!"

	"Huh?  What's wrong?"

	"Got something in my eye," complained Ranma.  "Cinder or
something, I dunno..."

	"Here-- let me take a look.  Hmm..."

	Akane stared.  This was exactly the sort of thing Ranma was
talking about.  If she hadn't heard what Ranma had just said, she'd
think they were about to--

This scene was just wonderful:  Akane being shown, in close-up,
just how it happense.

And Ichiro Gosunkugi will appear again with his
cousin next time... heh.

But what about Eiko???
