Okay, here's a sample scene from what I had in mind. I hope this
clears things up a bit, thought I'm still open to suggestions.

        this takes place about the second episode of the anime, or the first
volume of the manga.

        Akane gaped at Ranma... or was it Koromon... Agumon... ah, whatever.
In place of the pink, talking head was a short yellow dinosaur. Three rather
long claws adorned what might have been his hands, nearly mechanical blue
eyes glaring daggers at Kuno.

        Akane watched as a volleyball-sized ball of fire slammed into Kuno's
chest, knocking him off his feet. The mentally-addled kendoist sailed
backward as if he had been his by a truck, flying past Akane in a rush
before slamming into the north wall of Furinkan. Shocked, she stared at
Kuno's unconcsious form, emebedded in a sizeable crater in the mortar.
Kuno's hakama was scorched, his bokken reduced to ashes. His hands were held
forth in the three-fingered sign of "Oh, Kami-sama, this is gonna hurt!",
the wall surrounding him blackened from the blast. Akane merely blinked at
the sight. NOW, she had seen everything...
