Let's take a look at this, shall we?

It started with a blast.

Ladies and gentlemen, the second worst opening line ever used in a
work of fiction.

       Ranma lay dying in the hospital, his family surrounded him.

surrounding...check verb tense please.

Akane, Shampoo, Ukyou and Kodachi hovering over him, all sniffling.

In the far back, stood Tatewaki, Soun, Genma, Ryouga, Happosai and
colonge.

Cologne...might check your capitalization...

"Harlequin! Where did you hide my beloved Pig Tailed goddess!"

Uhhh...harlequin? This doesn't strike me as something Kunou might use
as an insult. Especially not against a *male*...

Pigtailed is either one word or hyphenated, not two words. It doesn't
need to be capitalized.

Tatewake screamed, trying to grasp for ranma's neck.

Consistent spelling and capitalization please.

Ukyou suddenly spoke up: "Ranma! please, before you die, tell us who
you love"
Shampoo suddenly lightened up "Tell you love shampoo ranma!"

Punctuation needs checking, capitalization needs checking. 

The Fiance�'s Blinked dumbly then started running after a certained
fanged

No apostrophe needed in fiancees. No capitalization needed in
Fiancees. No capitalization needed in Blinked. "Certain" is not a
verb, and therefore does not need to be expressed in the past tense. 

boy. Ukyou with her battle spatula ready, Shampoo with her bonibouri
and Akane

bonbori

ready with her Mallet. "IT CAN'T BE TRUE! GET HIM!"

Mallet doesn't need to be capitalized...

A huge puff of smoke suddenly went up because of the speed of ryouga
running.

This last sentence could be removed entirely. It makes little sense
and is badly constructed. And again, check capitalization.

Cologne Lowered her head "...He couldn't have left without taking
down

Capitalization...

somone with him, Could he?"

Actually, yes he could...

This is my first little fanfic. im sure i got a name wrong.

Not to mention capitalization and punctuation...

       Anyways, an explination: No ranma isnt gay! he just wanted
to get

No shit, what clued you in?

ryouga Offed too. He couldn't leave the world without pissing SOMONE
off,
now could he?

Actually, yes he could. Ranma does not intentionally aggravate
people. He doesn't hate Ryouga. He does get annoyed with Ryouga
hiding behind his cursed form, but he doesn't want to see Ryouga
dead. 

(If anyone wants to start a raging character debate over this, *do
not* do so on the FFML. Take it to private e-mail. Thank you.)
