There is real C&C here. Feel free to skip past my initial pointless
commentary if you want to get to it.

He stirred in his sleep and muttered something. She came over
and knelt to try to listen, hoping he was dreaming of her.
"Cassandra...run, run..."
She frowned. You aren't supposed to be dreaming about Pluto when
you're with me, she thought.
^_^
And she did not know his true name either.
My name...my true name...is Bob.
"Oh, so little sister needs glasses?" Shampoo frowned.
"You know there only two kind of kisses an Amazon can give
a woman outside her family. Kiss of Death or Kiss of
Marriage."
"..."
"Or Kiss of Divorce, but you have to be married first
to give Kiss of Divorce."
"Then, there's the Kiss of We're Having Hot Passionate Sex. Or the Kiss
of You're Three Years Old And Have A Small Cut. Or...
So be it, he thought. A fey mood was upon him, and
the idea of simply fighting it out to the death had a strange
appeal.
Interesting wording choice. Fey?
"Won't matter when you're dead." He tossed Uranus
aside once she went limp; she wouldn't recover fast enough
to matter, and he wanted captives, not corpses.
Out of curiosity, why? Was there something in an earlier chapter
that I'd forgotten? Didn't the Queen just complain about his getting
twarted by the Senshi? I could understand Endy, but not the rest.
Damnation, he thought. If they know that, I'm far
more vulnerable. As he looked at Saturn, he saw the kid's
face set with a look of utter hatred, and something changed
in how the boy stood. And then he spoke. "Rilifil, I'm going
to rip out your heart for what you've done to Cassandra."
"But technically, it wasn't me! It was her!"
Pluto groaned and sat up. "Where's my staff?"
Shampoo pointed over to a nearby location. "There's
the handle." She pointed further away. "There's part of the
orb."
^_^
Then he threw four roses at once, striking her winds,
which evaporated. Nor could she call them back. Her jaw
dropped, then Kunou was on her. "Head!" He struck her
head. "Shoulder!" He nearly dislocated her left arm.
"Chest!" Her sternum ached from the blow.
I understand that this is a part of kendo. However, Kuno doesn't shout
out his targets in the actual series, so why is he doing it now? There is
also the issue that some people unfamiliar with the sport are going to be
very confused.
"GROIN!" she shouted and kicked him in the balls. His
eyes went wide, and he staggered back, bending over.
"FACE!" She kicked him in the face, knocking him back.
A friend of mine went to Japan, and was given the opportunity to do some
Kendo. He also fences, so when he first faced off against his oppoenent,
he shouted FINGERS and lunged.
As he tells it, he proceeded to get the pants beaten off of him.
"It does mean something," she said. "It means your
recent failures are inexplicable. Either you have betrayed
me and are failing deliberately, or someone has betrayed us,
and is leaking our secrets to the Senshi. I find the later far
more plausible, for I know that if you lost your loyalty to me,
you would either try to kill me or just go openly over to the
Senshi. Therefore, I will give you one last chance to redeem
yourself. Publicly, I will announce you have been sentenced
to Eternal Sleep. But privately, you will take on a new
identity. I will give you to Nephrite as an assistant. You will
spy on those who serve him, and if he begins to fail as you
did, hopefully, you will catch the traitor. You will report your
findings to me periodically. Do you understand?"
...
You know, that actually made sense.
Still, I have to wonder how Nephrite is going to not know a guy that he's
known for a thousand years.
She smiled faintly. "Good. Now, let's create you a new
identity."
I keep thinking of the movie "The Replacement Killers".
"Did you do it?"
"No!"
Kenji-neko looked at him dubiously. "Are you gay?"
"NO!!!!"
Ha!
"Kissing is wierd?"
"When everyone is staring at you and there's people
who'll beat you and me for doing it, yeah."
You mean "her and me", don't you? Or is someone going to smack Kenji
around if Usagi kisses Ranma?
"Like Luna does to summon stuff. The kinda throw
yourself in the air and spin about thing."
What were you trying to say in the last sentence. It seems awkward.
"I don't like hate her, but if any of what I feel is me and
not him, I can't tell.
I recommend that you take out the 'like'
"He wanted to go home with Setsuna after the fight,"
Ranma said. "She invited me to come with her when she
thought no one was listening. There wasn't a fight, so I
guess no one was."
Er, in the context of the first sentence, saying "There wasn't a fight"
doesn't seem right. Try something like "No one screamed at us," or
something like that.
'No, that was a wind spirit,' her teddy bear said.
^_^
"Rhea and Tethys for us."
I'm tempted to make a Mike Rhea comment here, but I won't.

The sardines weren't worth the trouble. A few more shots, then
Ryoga-san would overheat and explode. Ducking around a corner,
I managed to lose him as I entered the ramshackle residence of
my Anime supplier.
One look at his face and I knew that I had been betrayed. "Tell me,"
I insisted. He refused, so I slammed him against the wall.
"Last chance. Where can Ranma-Ranma find good fanfics?"
"Try Jason Liao," he whispered, before he slumped to the floor.
I heard the sounds of a door splintering as I left through the
window, one step ahead of Tendo Heavy Industries...
