You want C&C?  Ok.
Great beginning.
Great ending.
The middle, however, was among the worst things I ever read.
The authors appeared to be engaged in a game of "let's see how tough I can
make this for the next guy".  And the next author had to backtrack
furiously in order to get the story to the point where it was writeable.
As a result, there are a lot of weak and bad ideas.

Idea: Next time you do something like this:
1)Remember "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you".
Unless you feel able to write a "Pregnant Ryouga" fic, don't get Ryouga
pregnant.
2) Give authors the ability to change the last few lines of the previous
bit.  As opposed to putting people in unwritable situations, this will
give them the power to modify it a bit.
