This is a pretty good story. I am enjoying the chaos of invovling Ranma cast characteristics. I'm also enjoying Ethan playing the victem here. I'm actually a bit surprised that Giles didn't realize that the Chaos demons should be happy at the moment not upset with him. Ah well.

The first Ranma Halloween fic I've ever truly enjoyed and one of only three Ranma-Buffy crossovers I've ever liked. (And the other two are by the same pair of guys)
I love how you're fleshing out the plot so it feels like a proper "Ranma-style craziness, Buffy story" progression of events. Also, nice touch on having Drusilla laugh like Kodachi during their merry chase. Perfectly in character for her and who knows whether the similarity was coincidence or intentional.
Definitely something I look forward to seeing more of. :)
Thank you! Thanks for feeling creative again and continuing this. And don't kid yourself, I've seen the soft underbelly of the fanfiction world, rife with all its cringe inducing garbage, and this definitely isn't it. As soon as I saw this updated I made stupid-happy-face, and I don't think I stopped making it even after it was over. :)
I love your character interactions so much. You are hilarious. The whimsical Ranma edge that seems to be consuming the Buffy-verse can only make things better. Even though it might've been a fast transition from Angel and Xander training earlier in the night to --BAM, Xander takes out an archfiend, I really liked the change of pace. But I guess Ethan paid for the 'soft-touch,' even if I'm not sure where it came in -- destroying all that property and not Xander's face, maybe? :P I really love what you've done with Spike and Dru too. Oh, it's all good stuff. Here's hoping for more.

Hilarious! Been a while, but it was worth it! Not sure exactly where you're going with everything, but this is great! Let's see, you've got kodachi, ryouga.. hiroshi and daisuke... will buffy eventually end up saying "I'm a vampire slayer, too!"? Hee hee, will love to see what you do in the next chapter! Hopefully it wont take as long to come out, though...

I am surprised none of the other reviewers have tried guessing the future hints that Dru gave, and hopefully Xander will be keeping them in mind and figure out to avoid:
"The key will lead you to power." Dawn? Could be other interpretations whether by synonym by name or metaphor or real object.
"Beware the weather man and jester." The first is probably a reference to Raynes' name, unless there is another male that might have a weather related name or have some other possible relationship with weather. Presumably Xander does not really trust him anyhow. The second is more difficult as there are multiple interpretations. Some candidate interpretation: Trick (name), Willy (name), "Willikins (name), the flamboyant demons (manner of dress?), etc.
"Don't open it!" Another ominous statement with many interpretations. Possible interpretation: the container mentioned in this chapter, Hellmouth(s), any other gate or barrier (real or mystical or symbolic).
