A/N: Chapter 2 is up! Finally! Thank you to all who reviewed and Happy Belated Holidays.

So you get Tatsuki getting her ass handed to her on a plate by Suifeng. And that's about it... Oh and there's a reason for them to talk to each other now. So that's nice.

How was everyone's holiday? Mine was filled with family and friends and no time on the computer. Share with me your holiday shenanigans! It'll be fun. I swear!

Tatsuki Arisawa had spent the last few years of her life practicing her karate. She'd trained day in and day out with her teacher and in doing so, made herself into a legend. If only that was true, then Tatsuki Arisawa might have actually stood a chance against Suifeng. The truth was that the spiky-haired girl simply did not have time to be practicing her art. Between studying and working two part-time jobs, she quite simply could not pursue her passion any further.

Still, the girl could remember some of the moves taught to her by her old teacher and assumed a standard starting position, extending one foot forward to support her weight and with the other held back behind her. Holding her arms at waist level, she clenched her fists preparing herself to counter her opponent's attacks. The girl in front of her did not attack nor did she move. She didn't even blink. She looked too much like a picture. Tatsuki was had never been known for her patience and after waiting rooted in one spot for so long, she got mad-and against Shonen Jump logic, she attacked first, swinging her fist in a wide arc towards the Chinese girl's torso and punched right through Suifeng.

Surprise!

She felt no resistance, as if her fist just traveled through nothing. There was no real matter that composed the girl in front of her and she almost fell forward, her body propelled by the momentum of her punch. So she broke her stance, and stumbled forward for a few steps trying to regain her balance.

The image she had just run through shimmered for exactly a second before disappearing completely. That was the first moment Tatsuki realized that something was wrong. Very wrong.

The second instance came when she felt a series of quick consecutive taps against her shoulders and knees, and then an instant later she felt her legs give in and as her face fell ever closer towards the ground, she finally realized that she hadn't even presented a threat to the woman. Closing her eyes, she awaited the inevitable physical contact with the ground. She was mentally prepared. Her face was going to smash against the concrete, and her nose might be broken but the pain was going to come from her face. It was a fact. So she was quite surprised when pain literally shot into her brain from the strands of her hair. She yelped in pain.

"I told you didn't I?" Came the girl's voice full of condescension. "I was going to take your drinks by force. That was the truth." Chuckling, Suifeng grabbed her collar with her other hand, hoisting her over her shoulder and she went back inside. Dropping her down on a stool, she sat next to her and looked around trying to find the bartender. Seems like he had run away, that meant more drinks for her right? She turned around and in turn glared at each and every patron. Most ran away except for the few who had already drunk themselves into a drunken stupor. She personally dragged them outside and slammed the door behind them. After riffling behind the bar counter, she found a ring of keys and proceeded to lock up.

She popped open a bottle of champagne and poured herself a glass. Champagne was usually used for celebrations right? So what shall she drink to? Her own crushing depression? Her loss of purpose? "To the end of the prince," she muttered raising her toast high up in the air, "May the princess' heart break into fucking tiny little piece." She growled closed her eyes and downed her drink.

Tatsuki let out a groan as she watched Suifeng drink from her bottle. Her bottle. That was supposed to be hers, not some bitch's who just happened to be more skilled than her in martial arts. She looked up at the Chinese girl, who was by now slowly tilting her hand from left to right, watching the alcohol in the wine glass shift from side to side. "Oi, how about you free me now?" She asked glaring at her. "You've made your point haven't you?" Her question caused Suifeng to jump slightly and she looked back at Tatsuki as if the girl had just appeared out of thin air.

"You're still here." She said numbly, and stopped playing around with her drink.

"Of course I am!" She retorted finding the girl's apathy even more maddening. "How am I supposed to go anywhere when you've locked up my arms and legs! Not to mention locking me inside this bar? Was that last part even necessary?"

"You do have a point." Suifeng conceded. "Yet I am sorry, the effects wear off as time passes." She said with a small smile. "If there's anything you want me to do to help you pass time. Let me know." She added and downed the rest of her glass. "To make it up to you, I'll grant you a wish, like a genie." She chuckled and started to pour herself more. It's not like that girl is going to ask for something impossible, besides it'd be fun to see what she could come up with on the spot.

"There is actually." Tatsuki grinned and nodded to herself pleased at having come up with such a good idea. "How about you act as my maid for the remainder of my time as a handicap? Wouldn't that be nice? You can start by calling me master!"

"Are you crazy?" Suifeng asked glaring back at her as she spurted out whatever amount of wine had been in her mouth. Her hand tightened around her glass. Was this girl making fun of her? Did she have a death wish?

"Oh! I see, you're just going to allow a poor defenseless girl go hungry." She said and rolled her eyes. Someone else who was lying to her. Great. "And thirsty, and what if I need to use the restroom?" She continued listing off things that she would be unable to attend to, since she was now crippled. "Most importantly, you're going to back off on a promise. That's not okay."

Suifeng flinched and scratched her head. Should she accept the girl's demands? On one hand, it was her fault but then again, and she did promise her one wish. Suifeng also felt a little bad and partially(only partially) responsible for her disabilities... And Yoruichi-sama had told her to take responsibility for her actions. "Very well, my master." She sighed and bowed in front of Tatsuki. "What do you wish for me to do?"

Tatsuki Arisawa smirked. Who knew such a bad day would end so well? "Get me something to drink." She ordered her smirk turning into a grin. A very evil grin. "Don't forget to hold it close enoug to me so I can drink from it. I also want you to do it seductively."

One word passed through the Chinese girl's mind: fuck.
