Nabiki Tendo would soon be locked in a struggle to see who
would become Empress of the Universe was unnerving. The

I would go with the latter.
This was an answer Ukyo found amusing. She broke out
into wild fit of laughter. Nabiki calmly waited for the
storm to pass.

"You think I don't know that? It isn't fair to Ranma,
or you, or me, or my sisters. Genma laid a trap for you, you
know."
"Huh?"
"Sure he did. The more women after Ranma, the more
likely Ranma will produce an heir, right?"
# Interesting thought, I never really pictured it like that.

through torturing him, yet. I might've grabbed Ranma if
hadn't been for him."

give up The Art. It had been his entire life until now, but

official sanction to teach (and technically use) it. No
one is likely to try and force him to refrain, especially
with the recent...changes he's gone through :)
Akane's and so long as she remained friendly with Akane and
Ranma, there was hope that...they could...could. Much to
Ukyo's annoyance, she was still blushing as customers started
coming through the door.

here.
"Well it's time you tried it, dear. A little will do
you no harm."

after you get used to being here. Don't let it bother you
any. Nerima's a nice place, just different."

flora and fauna.
"Oh, well that makes sense," Shimazu said, as she
nodded her head. It really did make sense. Shimazu found the
fact that it made sense to somehow be frightening. Things
like this should not make sense at all, but this did. She
shuddered. Was she becoming acclimated that quickly?

# That name for Genma really seems out of place, to tell the
truth I think you'd be better off with something less
vulgar. Maybe use Oyagi if there's nothing else. In fact,
if I hadn't read your C&C of "Genma's Journal" I wouldn't
have even known who you were talking about.
(Come on, Red! In Nerima? And what is up with all this
weird, ki stuff we've been doin'?)
# That comma between "weird" and "ki" doesn't look right for
some reason, although I suppose it's technically correct
as "ki" could be a second descriptive word for stuff.

An interesting story as usual, I'm looking forward to seeing
more of this.
