   "Now," Kagome said.  "I'm going to call your
father, Tendo-san.  Please attend to Ranma while I'm
gone."
   "I'd love to," Nabiki said, smiling darkly.

I get the impression that Nabiki's "attend to" might be slightly different
from Kagome's.

   The three fighters of the group panted as they
stood up and faced across the vacant lot at their
opponent.  Kasumi, at Akane's {insistance : insistence} was staying
in the back and watching as they tried to throw
themselves against the dog-demon.

   "Ohhh," the fox-boy said as he sat up.  Then
remembered why he'd {fained : fainted}.  "AHHH!!  Where's the
youkai!?!  Where's the demon?"

   "Well," Kagome said.  "It seems your father and
this other girl will be coming here.  She didn't seem
to {trust : believe} that Shippou would be able to protect her for
some reason.

   Kasumi just stared at Akane, Mousse and Shampoo
wrapped nearly head to toe in bent pipes collected
from around the vacant lot.  All three of them looked
{practically : thoroughly} indignant.
   In theory, Kasumi could easily run, or in this
case, fly away.  However, one of the three people
being dragged around by him was {one of her sisters : her sister},
and there was no way she could leave Akane behind.

   "Uhhh," Shippou had almost forgotten in the long
period between the era of battles and the modern day
{time :} that Kagome's temper was so intimidating.  He
kind of wished that he could go back and forth through
the well to, then he WOULD have had an excuse.  He
slammed himself into the floor before Kagome could say
"sit" or something similar.
   Kagome sighed, shook her head {frustratedly : in frustration} and
turned to meet the new comers.

   "He summoned the demon and made his deal with it,"
Kagome continued, talking quickly.  "However, due to
his possession of the shard he overcame it and with
{it's : its} power quickly became the greatest martial artist
and sorcerer of his and several other generations.  At
least, he said so."

   "He killed twelve hengeyokai to do it, {resting : leaving} the
key to shutting the gate in the hands of that type of
spirit.  Which is why there needs to be twelve of you.
 One living aura to cancel out and free each of the
sealed dead souls.  One cat, one dog, one raven, one
bat, one tanuki, one sparrow, one fox, one pig, one
badger, one rabbit, one rat, one crane.  It is also
why they need twelve demons to open the gate to it's
full width again.  They need twelve demons to take in
each of the twelve sealed souls and unleash the lock.
This has to happen all on the same day, or else the
spirits return to their seals and everything remains
the way it is.  This is difficult because while the
focus of the gate is the Tendo dojo, and {that's where :}
the hengeyokai were killed on that land, that is not
where they were bound."

   "There's nothing for it {by : but} to find him and beat
some sense into him," Genma declared.  "If he doesn't
take my head off first, that is."  He glanced around
nervously for any animal that seemed to be acting
suspiciously.

   "You could say that," Pantyhose-demon said.  "And
the training is very easy."  He didn't know just how
ironic that particular sentence {: was} in reference to Genma Saotome.
