O dark, dark, dark, amid the blaze of noon,

  Interesting to see a sadfic/darkfic with Akane as the problem.  Isn't
Ukyou a little too perfect, ne? (Of course, this is Zen we're talking
about.)  And wouldn't Nabiki or Tofu recognize the abuse as well?  Still, I
do look forward to part 2.

One spam - 

"The next girl who introduced herself was Fujishima Natsumi.  She
had short, dark brown hair that had a mind of its own, and piercing
green eyes.  She was trim and athletic, and had an air of confidence
and enthusiasm that was infectious."

Fujishima Kosuke married Natsumi?  Wouldn't that be considered incest? Sort
of like marrying your daughter.
