Hello! Well, what more can I say? Great fic, hope to read more from you
soon. =)
I appreciate Nabiki's presence in this story, as she is really the best
character for this type of scene. I think she did a great job. =) As for
artificial insemination, I'd guessed that when Nabiki was proposing that
Shampoo bear Ranma's child. =)

Somehow, "equal" sounds off. maybe "match"? Not even 3000 years of Amazons
could match? And should't it be 3000 years of Amazon history?

I think there should be a period instead of a comma after "Cologne spoke

Nabiki continued, "I would like to remind you of the

Tu-aks,
Being Chinese (meaning Mandarin, not Cantonese or any other variation), I
don't think there is such a word as "aks" in the Chinese language. The most
you can hope for is "Ah-Keh-Shi" (3 whole characters) as a translation for
Aks since there is no word like "Ak" in Chinese either.

his wife and take him back to Joketsuzoku because it would
orphan his young
daughter.
I have to admit I had to read this 2 or 3 times before I comprehended that
his wife was the outsider male's wife. I thought the "his" was referring to
the Joketsuzoku, but wasn't the Amazon a female?
She returned to the tribe without him, but
carrying his child.
I was sort of confused by this sentence, too. I thought at first she
returned carrying his young daughter. At the second time, I realized she
was carrying the child inside her womb.
Nabiki raised an eyebrow, "According the official

Shampoo was looking at Cologne in surprise,
I think that should be a period after "in surprise" too.
Cologne covered her shock well, "Oh? I didn't know the
Period after "covered her shock well".
"Now," she continued, "Will you also concede that if Shampoo
conceives a
child of Ranma's, that Shampoo's honor will be satisfied and leave our
family alone?"
Just a suggestion:
"... If Shampoo conceives a child of Ranma's, then Shampoo's honor will be
satisfied..."
Especially after the court order that had forbidden either of
them from
approaching the young Saotomes.
This, technically, isn't a sentence, just a broken fragment. But my
suggestion is "Especially after the court order had forbidden either of them
from approaching the young Saotomes" or "to approach the young Saotomes"

I don't think there should be a comma after "Nabiki said", and there should

I hope you don't mind. ^^;; I'm a stickler for punctuation and grammar,
sorry. Well, as they all say, it's your fic, so you don't have to listen to
me.
Still, I meant it when I said I thoroughly enjoyed reading this fic. =)
Thanks for sharing.
