Akane finally broke the ice.  "Why are you a woman?"

She's no woman!  She's just a girl.

Then the wall exploded.

They just don't build 'em like they used to.

The bonbori unexpectedly changed trajectory, flying out of Shampoo's
hand and towards the hole she'd created in the wall.  Ranma followed it
with her eyes, for some reason not seeing the ribbon until the bonbori
was lying at Kodachi's feet.

Now...  where the *hell* did she come from?!

Akane leaned forward and spoke directly into Shampoo's ear.  "Me too. 
You kill him, I kill you.  That's a promise."

Kill...  *him*?  And Shampoo doesn't notice this slip?

Shampoo seemed to ignore Akane, instead shifting her gaze back and forth

Oh, of course.

To Ranma's alarm, Kodachi's eyes began to rapidly lose focus.  "You! 
Pig-tailed one!  Where is Ranma-sama?"

When the hell did Kodachi figure it out, anyhow?

Kodachi's eyes were still unfocused, and now her lip was trembling
slightly.

Ranma's voice was hard and unrelenting.  "Who am I?"

Kodachi swallowed.  "Y-you're..."  She bit her lip.  "Ranma-sama."

Might wanna mention her eyes again.  ^_^

Whaddya think?

Not if I can help it.
