Hm, looking at the OP...wouldn't it be much better if we did this in an "alternate universe" style to avoid using the canon story? We'd have a lot more things to play around with if Shiro and the others weren't a main part of the story, like they are in the anime. Either way, I'm watching the first episode to get a feel of it. Guild members be warned, Kiyomi will be contacting all of you in the -very- near future!
