Chapter 1
Set up the stage
It was an average Thursday night at Utako's bar, located in the Jubaan district of Tokyo. Utako's was famous for three things: Its insanely cheap prices on alcoholic beverages, its monstrous karaoke system, and the final thing this bar was famous for is two guys who were called RunKei. RunKei was the nickname of two guys who showed up every Thursday for karaoke night and were known for their unique voices and truly diverse personalities. The reason why they were called RunKei was that the first time they sang together, several girls chased after them. As this happened, the host of the karaoke night asked what their name was. Seeing the large group of "fans" (read: mob of ladies running to get into their pants) One of the two shouted, "run, Kei" Hence the legend of RunKei was born.
Every Thursday, for the past year these two guys would be at Utako's drinking and lamenting their love lives and problems and then would participate in the karaoke night. They would always be grinning and having a great time, forgetting about their troubles. However this night would be dramatically different.
People are piling into Utako's, ready to have a blast at karaoke night, several people having heard the urban myth of Utako's RunKei and they wanted to hear these guys with voices of angels. The bar was jumping and ready to have a blast. But not everyone was having a joyous time. Two guys, sitting at their usual booth 12 had somber looks on their face. This booth was the unofficial meeting table of RunKei and sitting there are the famous RunKei singers themselves. The one sitting nearest to the bar was a muscular young man with long black hair tied in a pigtail, wearing a black muscle shirt and jeans. This is Ranma "Run" Saotome, martial artist extraordinaire and a pretty damn good singer. Sitting across from him was Keitaro "Kei” Urashima, Former Three Time Ronin, current landlord of Hinata All Girls Dormitory and all around nice guy. He is clad in wire frame glasses, a blue polo shirt. Jeans, and on his cheek is a huge bandage. On their faces are sad looks that would darken the heart of any person. It is as if they fought a war and had lost.
"So Kei, she hit you again?" asked the pigtailed youth.
"Yeah, she said I was 'leering' at her and then she hit me. I was staring outside the window for fuck's sake, why does she have to hit me so much! I mean it hurts enough that she left me for that Keitaro Godai asshole, but for her to always be hitting me is bullshit." states Keitaro as he starts to down the mug in front of him. After a moment, he realizes his mug is completely empty. “What the Fuck?" he mutters to himself. Keitaro gestures for the waitress to bring two more drinks to the table.
Once the karaoke starts, he knows that he won't be able to get any drinks so he is loading up now. He sighs as he looks at his best friend, “What about you, Ranma? You've looked like someone walked onto your grave,"
Ranma looks him in the eye and states simply” I don't wanna talk about it."
Keitaro smirks and says "Come on, buddy. I've known you for three years, ever since you first were sent into LEO by Akane, remember that day?"
Ranma begins to smile and reminisces, " Oh yeah, Naru hit you for 'peeping' on her and we both collided somewhere in the Tombiki district. Hey if those tomboys didn't hit us, we woulda never met. And if they never hit us we woulda never found this place.” Smiling as he remembers how the one day they ended up both crashing in front of Utako's and deciding on getting a drink to feel better. That was the beginning of RunKei. However Keitaro noticed as he said tomboys, Ranma's visage started to look depressed again.
"Come on man, what happened I thought things were better at the Tendo dojo." Asks Keitaro with a concerned look on his face
"Alright, alright, I'll tell you. After our drinks come." Replies Ranma as they wait.
As Ranma and Keitaro are talking, Nocturne, The owner/host/Bartender of Utako's walks up to the booth with three drinks and smiles at the two. "So how are my favorite patrons today? Ready to have fun like there’s no tomorrow?" He places the drinks on the table and looks at them. He sees the sad look on their faces
"Chin up guys,” nocturne says ", you’re family here and we all are here for you and love ya. Relax and have a good time alright. Oh before I forget are you two gonna duet tonight or are you guys solo singing again?"
Keitaro starts to speak but Ranma interrupts him. "Um I think we'll do both, Noc. I'll solo as the first singer then Kei will solo somewhere in the middle and then we'll duet at the end how does that sound?"
Nocturne thinks for a minute and then smiles, "Alright boys, well have fun, k”
The two guys both answer "alright Noc" in unison.
After Nocturne leaves them alone, they begin to sit and drink, letting the alcohol set into their system. Ranma looks at his beer for a moment and asks Keitaro, "Do you remember last week, how I said things could not get worse"
"Yeah" answers Keitaro with a look that says keep talking.
"Well they got worse, a lot worse" says Ranma
Keitaro thinks for a minute and points out, how the fuck can it get worse then getting beaten up by an abusive aggressive tomboy?"
"How about catchin the tomboy cheating on you" says Ranma with a small frown.
Spitting out his beer, "WHATT!!!!!!!!!!!!!" shouts Keitaro, drawing the attention of the entire bar to their booth. Slowly giggling and remarking that it was just a joke, he leans towards Ranma and says in a hushed voice, "So, you are telling me that, Akane Tendo, The girl who you've sacrificed everything for, who you love with all your heart, is cheating on you?"
In response, Ranma merely nods his head and stares blankly into his beer again. "How did you find out?" asks Keitaro.
Ranma finishes his beer and starts to tell Keitaro... "Well remember last Friday when.....

Author’s note: Haven't written in a while so I may be a little rusty. This idea has been bouncing around my head for a while, first it was a Ranma/Keitaro just drinking and bitching about life but then I decided to make it into a drama/songfic. The songs will be introduced around chapter 3 But tell me what you guys think no flames just constructive criticism. Also what songs should I have the two guys sing? What would you like to see happen?
