"And my other me said she was going to get
reinforcements, right?" the mini-{urd : Urd} sounded nervous.
"I own the moon," Kodachi said, not joking at all.
"Welcome to the family!" Jiro and Aki declared
together loudly, welcoming arms almost knocking Ryouga
off the building.
"RANMA-DARLING!!" Kodachi waved. "Over here!
Ranma-darling!!" Ranma twitched, maybe {he : she} should have
done Kodachi first.
You seem to be using the current physical gender for Ranma and Ryouga even
for their internal thoughts.
"What are doing here, Nabiki?" {this : the} red-haired girl
asked her, landing from a jump about three-stories
tall.
"Ahhh," Nabiki said, then pointed. "Peorth?"
"Nabiki?" Peorth said pointing back at the mortal.
"Well this explains things, somewhat."
That was a nice, quick misunderstanding fest.
"Wo ai ni," Ranma said. "Sorry about this." And
then, of course Nabiki was treated to a teaser of what
was currently frying Ryouga's brain.
I thought it _had_ fried Ryouga's brain or at least flash broiled it.
"Kodachi, be quiet," Ranma said. "Wo ai ni."
Kodachi's kiss was {comparatively simple : simple compared} to Nabiki's
even, much less Ryouga's.
"I think we got enough for them here," Urd said.
Peorth nodded and vanished {away :} into the security
camera over a nearby ATM machine. Ryouga snapped
awake and was suddenly facing the same way as the
goddesses.
Peorth just disappeared, so isn't Urd the only goddess left?
"Leave now!" Alecto added, her command having very
little power as she currently looked as if she had
been squeezed flat and then {: partially} re-inflated. "Before we
dine on your liver for the remainder of eternity."
"Errr," Alecto said. "AHHH!!! Ummm...I've got a date
with Baal!! Sorry, {sis : Sis}! Gotta go!!" Then she
vanished in a puff of noxious fumes.
"That was really...." Ryouga said, sweatdropping.
"About par for this town," Ranma said wearily.
"{Hai : Uh, yeah}," Ryouga said.
"I don't know," Ukyou said. "This is pretty big. But
it's not like we're going to be able to hide this
curse {anytime soon : for long}." Akane nodded.
"And then give her a surprise," Akane added smiling
firmly. "You know, actually, I doubt we'd let him get
past 'sorry {bout : 'bout} this.'"
Ranma's thoughts as they carried her to the bed were
along the lines of. "{I'm : Am} I ever going to get sex as a
guy?!?!!??"
Mara cringed at the sound of the voice, then
straightened her back. She had been caught, but she
{was knew : knew : had known} that was going to happen.
She walked proudly into the central office of hell,
ignoring the black {: looks} sent her way. What did she care
about them, she was going to be wiped from existence
in the next moment. What did she care what any of
them thought.
"Well," Hild said angrily. "You managed to not only
scuttle five other demon wishes and insure your
children have a good life{. : --}"
"Don't forget I tricked you into helping me," Mara
{said : interrupted}. "Where is Tisiphone anyway?"
"NOOO!!!" Hild screamed as she watched the true
escape taking place. She began to {up : gather} her power to do
the impossible, kill a {soul. When : soul when} a stately Japanese
Goddess appeared to take hold of the soul.
Ryouga and Shampoo had escorted Nabiki home. They
were the only two she was willing {: have} to go with at the
moment, though she hinted she was interested later.
After she had thought things through thoroughly.
"Kodachi," Urd said sadly. "I need to tell you about
your mother."
"What would you know about that?" Kodachi asked.
"Because I just felt her die," Urd said sadly.
I think a better response from Kodachi would be just "Why?". That fits
Urd's response better.
Belldandy looked down at her Keiichi as {: he} slept soundly
after their...activity. She smiled and brushed at his
bangs. Skuld might be a little unhappy though. Best
not to tell her about it, or Urd, since that would be
essentially the same thing.
"Just give up now, Ryouga," Ranma said.
Resistance is futile.
"Right," Rally said. "Better get to {him : her}, before the
mood swing starts."
"Ranma, of course," Akane said dreamily. "And let's
see. Nabiki is carrying Kiyone's child." She
shivered. "That is going to be one scary kid. Ukyou
is carrying my child." She said that as dreamily as
she mentioned carrying Ranma's child. "And Urd
apparently is having a kid with Kodachi. Ryoko is
having Setsuna's baby. Ummm...Natsume and Ayako
formerly of the Tendo and Mano clans are going to have
a kid...let's see...there's three others, but I can't
remember them off the top of my head. Fortunately
that stasis thing gives us SOME control over when
things happen."
Kiyone's child isn't so bad. What about Mihoshi's?
