One thing I must point out, though, is the use of "oneechan/san/sama" in it.
"Oneechan" means "older sister" not just "sister",  so Kasumi shouldn't be
referring to either Nabiki or Akane as such (nor should Nabiki refer to
Akane as "oneechan").  The term that would be more appropriate would be
"imooto", which means "younger sister".  Just thought you should know.

Thanks again, Peter, this is exactly the kind of criticism I was looking for. 
"Imooto", eh?  Is there a diminutive form of this, like "Imooto-chan"?

Not that I know of offhand.  Then again, as Jeanne Hedge pointed out, you could 
always resort to simply using -chan.

I really appreciate your comments.

Not a prob! ^_^
