Okay, finally got around to reading this and I must say I'm
surprised it didn't explode in a giant ball of spam.  The following is
hopefully C&C, first of all why the `` and '' it's really annoying and the
reason I put off reading this for so long.  A standard " works fine and
makes it easier to read.
        I had a couple problems following the new characters and keeping
track of who was who...

       ``So, what's for dinner, Miyuki?''  Miyuki looks up at her older
sister, who showed signs that she would soon learn the bakusaitenketsu, mainly
through not being as bruised as she had been the day before.

        Bakusaitenketsu seems out of place after reading the rest of the
story, Ryouga isn't even mentioned at any point I think.  Actually the line
itself doesn't make alot of sense either.  I assume you're starting here
and I didn't miss a number of other parts that would make this story make
more sense.
        Also the use of Miyuki in the dialogue, and in the statement
doesn't work right.  The focus of the statement should be speaker who we
haven't met yet.  Much of the early dialogue doesn't contain statements but
between the ''s and all the new characters it doesn't hold itself together
well enough.

       ``Because I like it, no one else in the house cooks with it, and it's
in season right now.''  There is a loud knocking at the door.  ``That must be
Kodachi, Ukyou and Rie-chan.  Go let them in, please.''

       ``Ryoukai!''  She snapped her heels together and slapped her fist
against her chest.

        Already I'm getting lost again, Rie-chan?  Ryoukai?  Most of the
opening goes way over my head as a reader.  Everybody's talking, nobody's
saying anything.  As far as I can tell there are from 4-6 people speaking
and very little to indicate who's saying what.  A writer can get away with
it to a certain degree when writing familiar characters who's personalities
come through in their statements.  However I don't think you can get away
with it here.

       ``But don't just expect me to cook for the lot of them' '' Akane and
Ranma finish in unison.  Ukyou and Kodachi giggle at their aggrieved tone, and
Miyuki walks in with the first load of food.

        Question, when do Ranma and Akane enter this scene?  To be honest I
don't even know where this story is taking place.  Ranma and Akane seem to
materialize out of thin air to jump into an already crowded conversation.

       As usual Kodachi and Ukyou are extremely sappy, feeding each other
and generally acting like the dotting couple that they are.  Rie ignores them.

        Strange, written for shock value above anything else.  I assumed it
meant what it said but I was still confused.  After reading the entire fic
it made more sense as a relationship, even if others don't.. I forgive you.

       ``Oh, yeah,''  He looks for the avocado slice, then continues, ``Well
after Tofu-sensei pointed out that we would need to keep me female for the
nine months or so that the pregnancy would take there was a quick
brainstorming session where we went over known methods to keep me female.  The
only one that I judged trustworthy enough to attempt was the chiisui-ton, which
was a bit of a problem, as it had gotten lost during the fight with Herb.  So
had the kaisui-huu, but that was only necessary to reverse the effects of the
first after you were born.

        Here's where I go 'oooooooooh, it's one of those fics"  The
question remains why?  you do a decent job of explaining how but it still
makes no sense as to why.  btw, I thought those items were destroyed as
well... anyway.

       ``You helped a great deal, Ucchan.  I couldn't have found it if you
hadn't suggested that we get out of camp if we were going to be making out.
And you were the one who said that that tree looked nice.''  Kodachi's voice

        Just plain bad grammer.  Cute idea, bad delivery.

       ``Anyway, we got home just in time for the Sakura to bloom.  I had
been female for a couple of weeks, and the lot of us did hanami.  I got
totally drunk for the first and last time in my life, and Akane had to shut me
up.''

       ``I remember that.  I thought she just enjoyed sucking face with
you.''  Ukyou giggles as her comment turns both Akane and Ranma a bright red.

        highlight for this fic in my opinion, reminds me of a couple
parties I've been at.. but I digress.  This feels like more of a backstory
that the reader isn't allowed to see, Ranma drunk.. why? and what is
hanami?

       ``Ano, Kodachi-bachan, why did you challenge Akane to a poisoning
contest?''  Miyuki asks, after everyone had settled down again.

        Okay, this is like an entirely different fic within a fic.  I'm not
into the Ranma cast drug usage thing even if it is Kodachi, it makes some
sense for the Ukyou part later on but the entire section is a jamble.. some
lsd, heroin, pot... and she considers cigarettes, alcohol, speed, and coke
the harder drugs?  The whole section put me off, but I continued anyway.

       ``Anyway, I was really upset that Ranma had actually said that he
wanted to be with Akane for the rest of his life, and so I challenged Akane to
a contest I was sure she couldn't win.  When I won I was to get to keep Ranma
for six months, an amount of time I felt more than adequate to the task of
making him mine.  Using my superior knowledge of poisons I got maybe 540
people.  I still don't know where she got all of that LSD, but she got all of
Nerima with it.  I was at Ucchan's to try and convince Ukyou to honor the deal

        Okay, so I'm supposed to believe Kodachi challenged Akane to a
poisoning contest and Akane ended up drugging all of Nerima with LSD?
Besides the obvious OOC questions how about the criminal/multiple felonies
question?

her after I found that out.'' Kodachi curls her fingers, her elbow on the
table, curls of white light extending like claws from her finger tips, blue
flames flowing off of them.

        Umm... okay.

        Overall... interesting.. there seem to be a dozen plots in here
without any particular one in control.  It did however give me inspiration
for fic, don't know if anything will become of it.  Was there more than one
part to this?  If so I may be judging it unfairly, I can't really figure it
out.
