Man, I get more excited with each new chapter of this. Your writing style is lovely; the plot flows along smoothly. Also, I really enjoy your characterizations of all the characters, but especially Akira and Le Ping (perhaps because we get a lot of scenes with them). And Waya makes such a sympathetic narrator: he's observant, sharp but not so sharp that he automatically figures out all the answers, and he's got a lot of empathy while still retaining some objectivity.
Ooh, Touya Meijin went off on a quest to find Sai, just like in the manga! And his son has to be the responsible one and assume his mantle, hah. Is Ogata going to make an appearance too? ^_^
And the older they are the more dangerous they are.
Ah, I'm really interested to see where you'll go with this. As much as I like Sai, there are a few panels in the manga where we're reminded just how obsessive and even scary he can be -- especially considering the Japanese belief that the older a thing is, the more powerful and prone to corruption it is. From that perspective, it always amazed me that Sai hadn't become a vengeful spirit. I guess his overall gentle temperament and love for his hosts kept him in check.
For all we know, Zama Ouza's fondness for port finally caught up with him, and he died of liver failure.
:snickers: Did you get this idea from the latest character notes? If so, can we hope to see Kuwabara the gambler?
