Like most fanfiction, this story is written using copyrighted characters and situations which I have no legal claim on. Ranma, Ryouga, and most of the other characters used or mentioned in this story are the property of Rumiko Takahashi, Shonen Sunday, Kitty, Shogokan, Viz, and a lot of other people and companies who are not me and are not affiliated with me. In fact, they've never even met me, and probably wouldn't mistake me for someone they know if they saw me on a bus. By using these characters in my story, I make no claim of ownership or rights. I am also not trying to make any sort of a profit by using them, because that would be dishonest and stupid seeing as how they have lawyers and money and I don't.
