With Tarre running the household, I wouldn't expect Kasumi to have the
level of domestic skills she seems to have or the moral authority that came
from running the home.
Suggested changes: {before : after}

"Sayonara, Oneesama," Tarre said cheerfully. "I
hope the dinner was okay." Kasumi was {shoulder : shouldering} her
bags and getting ready to return to her apartment.
"You were fine, Tarre," Kasumi said. "Just keep up
the hard work and you'll be as good as me someday."
If Tarre has been the maid of all work since Kasumi was 9, either she's
already as good as Kasumi or she doesn't have the aptitude to be as good.
"I shall try," Kasumi answered vaguely. She turned
to Akane and Nabiki. "Now I expect you two to behave
at school with Ranma-kun."
This sounds like Kasumi was acting "Mother" even though Tarre was doing
most of the work.
"No problem, Ranma-san," Tarre said cheerfully,
waving {: to} the old woman as they continued along the walk.
"Uhh, how did you get me away from my Pop then?"
Ranma asked. She pointed at the lamp post that was
still rammed into the ground.
It must have stopped sparking by now...
"Go tell Akane to get downstairs," Nabiki calmly
said to one of her lieutenants. "I we're going to
lose some {funds : bets : money}."
They were still deciding {over :} whether the challenge
applied to her when she started to turn away from the
school and softly edge away from them all, trying not
to attract attention. Someone noticed {it : her}.
"TARRE TENDO I LOVE YOU!!!" they shouted, charging
forward. With the signal given{: ,} the horde moved.
Akane looked embarrassed for a moment. Tarre
opened her mouth to answer, which was when the roll of
thunder above {invoked : queued : lead} Akane to pull Ranma into the
school.
"I give you that information, it's going to cost
Kuno-{Baby : baby}," Nabiki said simply.
What about "That information will cost you Kuno-baby."?
"Whatever, Kuno-{Baby : baby}," Nabiki said as Kuno ran off.
Well, first the teacher sent him to the hall, then he
ran off.
