Hi All!  Below is chapter two to my fanfic.  I hope it's of some 
entertainment value.  Any and all comments will be taken with much 
appreciation and most likely be melded into the next version.

btw, still rewriting ch1 in hopes that it makes more sense. :|

*** The Breaking of the string ch. 2 ***

[At the tendo dojo, the family is just getting up, Kasumi making breakfast
 as she hums to herself, Ranma and Genma fighting over the pond, and Nabiki
 brushing her teeth. No one even suspects...]

Soun[walking toward the pond through the double sliding doors]: Saotome
 -kun! Breakfast is ready! 

Genma & Ranma[as both turn while clutching one another]: What!!??
 Aaaahhhhh!!!!

[They both fall into the pond as Soun turns away slowly shaking his head.
 In the kitchen, Kasumi has finished preparing breakfast and has begun to 
 set up the table.]

Kasumi: Akane! Nabiki! Breakfast's ready!

Nabiki[walking past the living room with a toothbrush in her mouth]: Coming!

[As the members of the two families begin to sit, they notice that one among
 them is missing.  Worry begins to dawn on the face of Soun Tendo as Ranma
 and Genma fights over a piece of pickled cabbage.  

 As Soun was about to knock the two pests into the wall so that he may sit
 and worry some more, the phone rings, jolting his already over-worked
 nerves as Kasumi goes to answer it...]

Soun: Kasumi dear, who is it?

Kasumi[walking in from hall sounding a bit tense]: Father! That was tofu 
 sensei. There was an accident... Akane she...

Soun[jumps to his feet shouting]: NANII!!!!!??? Akane!? Akane! [runs
 around continuing to shout out the name of his youngest daughter]

Kasumi[trying to calm her father]: Akane's alive father, she's in the
 hospital. I... I think she's alright.  Tofu said that we should go and 
 see her.

Soun[sitting and crying]: oh! why did this have to happen to Akane....
 why... [raising his tear streaked face] Saotome-kun! 

[at this, Both genma and ranma turn from their bickering with confused
 looks on their faces. Each holds half of the cabbage they were fighting 
 over in their hands.]

Genma[becoming all manners and seriouness]: Tendo-kun, I will come with
 you in your time of need old friend. [turns to face his only son] RANMA!!

Ranma[somewhat shocked at the sudden rise in his father's voice ]: H..
 Hai? Now what do you want?

Genma[gestures at Ranma by pointing a finger at him]: You'll come with me to 
 see Akane. She _is_ your fiance and it _is_ your duty!

Ranma[turns away from his father]: Hmph!  Why would I want to go see that 
 uncute tomboy? Besides, you arranged it between us and her injury was not 
 my fault! 

[Before Genma could reply to his statement, ranma makes a dash for his school
 and runs off, not letting his family see the concern and worry breaking 
 onto the surface of his face.]
