Anyways, I've been a bit busy with school and all so this is really later than what I had planned. But who cares as long as it's out, right? Okay, this one's dedicated to my little brother.

Broken Promises
Chapter 2: All falls down
"Minaka-chan, can you just chill for a second?!" A tall woman hissed with a large spatula behind her back. "Jeez!"
A short girl with long golden brown hair fidgeted uneasily in her seat next to the tall woman. "But Ucchan-!" She began anxiously, looking at the spatula wearing woman with anticipating eyes. "W-What if Auntie finally finds Yamiyo?! Aren't you the least bit worried at all??"
"Yeah right, like Ukyo cares about that stupid girl." A tall and lanky young boy whispered as he neared the two girls in the quite waiting room. "She chose to runaway. Not like we forced her to go."
The golden brown haired girl named Minaka frowned slightly as she stared at the young boy in front of her with cold eyes. "How could you say something like that Kyo?!" She shrieked out in a very high pitched voice. "She's our sister and she's missing! You're supposed to care, just like me and Shinji!"
Silence overcame them when a stocky woman appeared out of nowhere and glared at the small group with squinted eyes.
She coughed loudly. "Excuse me!" She hoarsely yelled to them with a large frown painted on her face. "But there are other people around here. Please respect that and be quite!"
With that said the stocky woman left as fast as she had arrived, wobbling all the way to the corner of the small room and opening the door nosily.
Ukyo blinked surprisingly. "What was that all about?" She asked seriously confused. "There's no one here but us."
Before anyone could respond though, a short fragile woman wearing an elegant kimono came out of the same door with a forced smile on her face. "She's not here either, let's go."
(Later that afternoon in Osaka)
Akane sighed disappointedly, watching the news with little interest as her sister droned on the phone about how if she had been more careful then she would have already had a job as a professional actress.
"I know Nabiki. You don't have to remind me." Akane whispered softly so her husband wouldn't hear from the bathroom across the living room. "What's done is done, I can't change it."
-Well, it's your own fault Akane. You have no one else to blame, not even Ranma-kun.- There was a short pause as Nabiki coughed. -Are you going back to Nerima?-
Akane frowned slightly and gripped the phone tightly. "Do I have a choice?" She asked rhetorically. "I have to go back. I can't just leave Ranma's family out of the picture like that . . . Which means I'll have to see Auntie and Dad again."
Nabiki laughed on the other end of the phone softly. -Yeah, they were pretty pissed off that you two didn't have a wedding and just eloped. Heck even I was! I didn't get no money from the whole thing.-
The two sisters paused and then giggled happily at the memories of the old days, when things had been quite different and a little bit simpler.
Akane wiped her eyes and smiled sadly. "But now you can make some more money off of this information Nabiki." She whispered.
-Nope, I'm afraid the word's getting around already.-
"What do you mean?" Akane asked totally confused.
Nabiki paused on the other line and seemed to adjust her phone momentarily. -I overheard Chiyo-san talking with some old lady about Ranma coming back with some urgent news. I didn't think much of it at the time, but now . . .-
As Ranma came out of the bathroom with a satisfied smile on his face the T. V. was still on and his wife was on the phone with a weird expression on her face.
Akane blinked and then shook her head, a fake smile on her lips. "Okay, well I'll call you back later. Bye!"
She hung up the phone angrily and then glared at the T. V. The night before she and Ranma had agreed on only telling people they knew wouldn't run their mouths and tell everyone before they got the chance to. Now everything was ruined, Chiyo would probably end up telling Ranma's family "by accident" about the whole thing since she was a close family friend.
Ranma blinked confusingly at his wife as he slowly sat down next to her on the couch. "Who were you talking to?"
Akane shook her head slightly and then turned towards her husband with a forced smile on her face. "No one important." She said too sweetly and then her face hardened slightly, her smile still on. "But can you tell me why Chiyo-san knows about our problem?"
Ranma blinked and then smiled nervously. "She told, huh?"
"Yep."
"Crap. What are we gonna do now?"
Akane face-faulted depressingly with her eyes as cold as ice. She gripped the ground with her hands and remained there sadly. Shouldn't she be bursting with joy and happiness, if so, then why did it hurt so much? Was there something wrong with her?
She blinked, a single tear running down her cheek and then slowly let go of the ground, but still remained there. "I don't know, I really don't know."
Ranma looked at her back curiously but decided to leave her be. "Hmm, oh well I guess." He said with the shrug of his shoulders. "Hey 'Kane, are we gonna order out tonight too? I don't think the baby should have to eat toxic waste like your food before it's even born!"
Akane's back stiffened and Ranma braced himself for a beating, but instead what he got in return was a deep sigh.
She let her body go loose on the floor. "Sure, but you choose and order."
"Okay!"
(Saotome home)
At the time the house was rather quite, something the anxious inhabitants had never truly experienced.
Ukyo grabbed her large spatula and began to caress it tenderly. This silence was tearing her apart no matter how much she acted like it didn't. Suddenly though the sounds of soft footsteps entered her hearing range and a slight smile crept upon her features.
I knew that bullheaded Kyo was really depressed over Yamiyo, Ukyo thought happily, and now he wants to confine with someone like me.
As the footsteps slowly neared Ukyo grinned and placed her spatula beside her seat. She paused and blinked at the face that greeted her instead.
"Auntie, what's up?" Ukyo asked confusingly since Nodoka never really casually walked around.
Nodoka placed her right hand on her mouth and gasped. "Oh Ukyo-chan!" She exclaimed happily, something she hadn't been for awhile. "Ranma and Akane-chan are finally coming back home!"
Ukyo blinked once again before forcing a small smile and rising from her chair. "That's great news Auntie . . ." She whispered softly. "Um, when are they coming back?"
"Soon, very soon! Chiyo-san said that Ranma had urgent news to tell us all!" Nodoka replied happily. "Ah, maybe then we can finally find Yamiyo with Ranma's help."
"Yeah, just can't wait for them to come back."
"Oh, it'll be just like the old days! . . . I'm so happy, my son's coming back home!!"
" . . . With Akane."
-End!! :P
A. N.: So, I hope you guys liked this one since I took time from school and crap to write it!!! School so sucks, I hate the people in my math class and I'm taking "Child Care" ROP for no reason. ARGH!!! Make it all end! Anyways, I just got a four day weekend this weekend (which went by fricken' fast) so it's okay I guess.
-"There's not a man today who can take me away from my guy!"
