Beautifully written, as always.  Only two qualms.  
	First, the homelife of Ranma, Akane, and Hiratsu is jolting.  Of 
course, Akane must have mellowed out not to have simply killed Ranma 
first and turned him out second.  She threw her son out too??  Why??  She 
is aware of Ranma's bitterness at his treatment at the hands of his 
father, it would seem that she would have more compassion for her own son 
at the hands of _his_.  The other objection here is that Ranma just 
wouldn't "one day turn into my old man". He and Akane have raised their 
son into at least school age; this personality development isn't 
something that just happens overnight.  I realize we are hearing Ranma's 
side of the story.  Here's a place you need to develop in a separate fanfic.
	The other qualm:  Ukyou has been married for "Almost fifteen 
years now", while Miyabi will be sixteen in three months.  Perhaps you'd 
_better_ write that story about Ukyou and Ryogu's wanderings.  ^_^;;
