You know what you could do... instead of having Ukyou throw the
bombs,  have Kodachi do it (yes I know Ukyou and Shampoo did try to kill
Akane in  the series but Kodachi just seems more appropriate
somehow)... Ranma will  beat up kodachi too light he did to Shampoo I
guess and maybe Ukyou will  be there to comfort him after Akane's death
and they can get closer ...

What do you think?

Seems to me to be just a slight variant on what people have written
before.  I'm not saying you shouldn't do it, but I think there should be
something more to it than you describe...

I also disagree with the notion that Ukyou is noticibly less likely to hurt
Akane than Shampoo or Kodachi.  She is more intelligent than the other
two, and therefore uses different tactics (which I think would be more
likely to work) in order to win Ranma.  However, at the end when she
and Shampoo crash the wedding, she is desperately trying to prevent it. 
The time for subtlety is over, and her actions are not (IMO) OOC.  AFAIK,
Ukyou has never shown any particular kindness or affection toward
Akane...
