WELCOME TO
The "Honor, Love and Hate" Page

Joseph Kohle has written a story entitled Meiyo Ai soshite Nikushimi which translates as "Honor, Love and Hate". An interesting combination to say the least, but one that fits it well.
Akane and Ranma finally come to an understanding of their feelings for one another, even though it took a major misunderstanding between them, and the near loss of each of their lives before they realized this wisdom. The cost was high, but well worth the price, though not everyone would see it this way.
In a last desperate gambit after learning of this sudden news, Cologne threatens the couple's new-found and still fragile peace by issuing Ranma a challenge. Even though he is ill prepared and injured, he accepts anyway, much to Cologne's delight. Later, entering the Nekohanten, he finds out very quickly just how ill prepared he was as the Elder Amazon draws tight her trap, calling down the Curse of Boukyaku. His mind and chi entraped within a statue along with a powerful and dark demon, Cologne tells Akane and the others that they must either give up all claims to Ranma, defering them to Shampoo, or by the next new moon, two weeks' time, he will die.

This is a story which is at times dark, but never for a moment does it stop being powerfully descriptive. Each of the characters grows beyond what they were, seeing for the first time a new untapped potential they must now develop. This is the way of things, the strong must adapt in order to flourish, only this time, there is no room for error.
