[A hallway in Furinkan High, right after the classes have ended.  All the
students are chattering, joking, laughing loudly as they pile out of their
classrooms.  Everything appears normal enough for a highschool scene.  Yet
if one looks closer, he/she would have found that most of the students are
actually divided into two groups, each cooly ignoring the members of the
other as they head in opposite directions to exit the hallway.  Leaning
against a window stands a tall young man, whose solique starts off the play
at he stares at the potentially unnerving scene with malaucholic eyes and .
. . a raised Japanese fan in his hand.  Dramatic music could be heard in the
background.]

Tatewaki: Two Households, both alike in dignity,
[Shows close up shots of the towering front gates of the Saotome Dojo and
the Kuonji Dojo respectively.]	

	In fair Nerima where we laid our scene.
[Pans back to show all of Nerima, with the Saotome Dojo and The Kuonji Dojo
each at an opposite end of the ward. 
	
	From ancient grudge,
[Shows a medieval scene in which a poor Saotome man (not Genma) and a poor
Kuonji man (not Ukyou's dad) engaging their son and daughter at a tender
age.  Once the Saotome man (not Genma) gets the dowary, a yatai,  he
immediately runs off carrying his young son on it and left the teary Kuonji
daughter (not Ukyou) behind.  After a rapid series of scenes showing the
passing of years, the now adult  Kuonji daughter (not Ukyou)  has grown up
to be a spatula carrying woman-warrior.  She goes to the Saotome household
at night, finds the Saotome man (not Genma),  and fries him like an
okonomiyaki.  After she leaves the scene, the Saotome household wakes up to
see the fried up Saotome man (not Genma) on the ground.  The teary Mrs.
Saotome (not Nodoka) immediately orders her son (not Ranma) to average his
father, an order which he obeys.  From then on, the official feud between
the families begins.]

	Breaks into new mutiny.
[Shows that while the two households increasing in size and power as
generations passed by, so does the grudge between them, as other households
that are linked to either of them by marriage get into the conflict as well.]

	Where civil blood,
[Shows the historic battles between the fighters of both sides.]

	Makes civil hands unclean.
[Shows the modern day battles between the fighters of both sides.]

[Cuts back to Tatewaki.  Looking disdainful at the two opposing groups of
students, he turns around and leaps out of the window like a ninja . . .
only to land through the fragile roof the the girls changing room right
underneath him. Cries of "hentai" and "baka", combined with the sounds of
baseball bats being used against human skull could be heard.]
