 Well, all that looming overshadowing (as opposed to foreshadowing)
 had to go _somewhere_. ^_^
 
 It should become painfully obvious what happened to Genma and
 why he doesn't think the Neko-ken's such a big deal...

    Every time this has come up in this fic so far, I am *forcibly* reminded 
of a quote from Susan Doenime's "PastPresent" (speaking of which, where's she 
been?  More!  MORE!!!!  <ahem>):
======================================================
    He swore. This was bad. Granted, Soun's last secret 
technique hadn't been very impressive - whoever had developed 
the Hamster-ken must not have been quite right in the head - 
but there was always the chance of him stumbling onto 
something pretty devastating.  For all Soun's dithering, he was 
a very, very good martial artist.
=======================================================

    Hmmm....I wonder if the ASPCA is aware of all these animal-based training 
methods....
