The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo...(For kaz)

The atmosphere was definitely dialing up a few notches from some taunting jabs to full blown threats of violence. Bunny left her own payment for the drinks behind as well as a generous tip for the relieved bartender while she followed the Dragon Lady outside to a modestly sized parking lot right next to the fine establishment. The far off corner would suit their needs just fine, well lit and surrounded by a few cars with a few trash cans dotted about. Once there she flicked off her hat onto a nearby car and started stretching her arms. It had been some time since her last street fight, but this could be just what the doctor asked for to help vent her frustrations, and against the perfect opponent too…


“I may have brought it up, but you sure did run with it.” After limbering up Bunny folded her arms, a curious look on her face as she took a second to actually think about what the dragon lady had said earlier. “So youâ€re telling me you actually had something else to say to me when you walked in that bar, like, a friendly conversation? And you think pushing my buttons was the best way to approach me? We didnâ€t exactly end that night on the best of terms ya know…”

Kumi stretched herself as well as they arrived at the corner of the parking lot. She didn't came here for a fight, but maybe she should have seen it coming considering their personalities. Letting out a sigh, she stood across Bunny, a little smirk appeared on her otherwise cold face. A street fight surely brought back her high school memories.

"I'm fully aware where we're standing beforehand, just got carried a little bit too much, I guess," the tattooed girl rolled her eyes. "As a matter of fact, I do have something to say," she said. "Not exactly a friendly conversation, but... Ah, why bother now. Maybe this could connect us better instead of talking," she brought up her fist.

With all said and done, Kumi assumed her fighting stance but would wait for Bunny to make the first move.

“A little, huh?....Heh, whatever. Not like things were going to happen any differently the minute you walked in that bar any way. Iâ€ve some questions myself, but letâ€s just hope youâ€ll be left conscious enough to answer them once this is all done…”, Bunny said with a sly smile and a competitive stare down between the two, her nonchalant taunt having a little bit of truth in her words.

With her fists raised up and one foot place behind the other in a classic boxing stance, Bunny slowly started circling Kumi looking for an opening. On that fateful night Kumi kicked things off with a cheap shot to bunnyâ€s blind side and Bunny politely responded with a spear tackle, so Death would try something similar to try to get catch her off guard with her real opening manuever. Once close enough D.B. bent low and sprinted in the manner of another spearing tackle, but would stomp one foot down to stop herself short and swing her other leg toward Kumis legs to knock her off balance.

Watching Death Bunny rushing in towards her, Kumi was prepared to catch the girl and reversed her offense, only to be startled with the sudden stop. The kick connected with her leg and she was slightly knocked off to the side, but maintained to prevent herself from falling down. She grunted and stumbled away from DB, but didn't take too much time to charge towards her opponent.

"Hmmph, not bad!" she yelled before reaching for an arm of Bunny in an attempt to yank the girl towards her.

Her plan was to grab DB's clothes with her other hand before twisting herself slightly, so she could take the girl down with a makeshift Judo throw that wasn't too painful. Her true intention, after all, was to follow up the take down by trapping the arm of Bunny with an armbar!

Bunny had to give credit when it was due, she thought the feint attack would knock the dragon lady off her feet for sure, but all it seemed to do was give her an annoyed misstep before charging at her like a bat out of hell. Raising her arms to guard her face and upper torso was actually the exact wrong maneuver, with her vision cut off Bunny couldnâ€t see Kumiâ€s arm reach out to grab her own arm and flip her over in an textbook judo flip.

“Nnngh!!” More disorienting than painful, Bunny felt her arm being pulled back in between Kumiâ€s legs for an armbar. D.B. knew the damage this could do to her arm, especially with no ref to break it up. Reflexes kicking in, Bunnyâ€s face would clench in frustration as she would attempt to lift her grabbed arm until she could clasp her hands together to prevent Kumi from pulling back to complete the hold, slowly shifting her body in the other direction until the dragon lady hopefully let go.

Going to the ground wasn't the best option as Kumi just ruined her kimono, but her instinct as a fighter guided her instead of her womanly sense here. As Bunny began to shift herself around to the other side, she tried to add more pressure to the arm to weaken the girl's effort, but decided to release her opponent in the end and gave her a light shoving kick on DB's back. Kumi then got up to her feet and dusted herself a little.

Letting out a sigh, she decided to loosen her kimono a bit, making it more suitable to combat even if it wasn't the best outfit ever to do it. To be fair, she didn't really came for a fight, even if it might be inevitable due to the already established hostility between them.

"Get up, that should be nothing for a tough girl like you," she sneered.

Bunny was not accustomed to panicking so early into a fight, but the armbar could be a wicked maneuver that could break your arm in rare instances. While Kumi most likely had no intent to go that far, D.B. knew better than to take the chance. Holding her liberated arm and rolling over slightly from the light kick, D.B. looked up to notice Kumi unfasten her kimono so it hung more loosely from her body. Wearing her low waist, high cut blue jean hot pants and cotton white midriff tank top, Bunny couldnâ€t be dressed more comfortably for the brawl, raising herself to her feet and ready to bring the dragon lady to her knees after being tossed around like that.

“Oh absolutely, but you should probably think about backing away now if you donâ€t want your pretty dress ruined,” Bunny quipped sarcastically before rushing in towards the dragon lady. Reaching forward to grab the loosened kimono, D.B. would yank Kumi into a quick knee strike into her abs, hopefully stunning her long enough to not notice Bunny raise her fists high into the air before sending them down in a fierce clubbing strike on Kumiâ€s shoulders.

"That's funny. I'll go home in my underwear if I have to, if that's what it takes to beat you," Kumi replied dryly.

In reality, she'd probably call her sworn sister to bring her a change clothes if her kimono ended up badly damaged, but bluffing was always part of a fight. Seeing Bunny charged in, Kumi raised her arms for defensive measure, but the girl went for her clothes instead just like she did earlier.

"Agh!" the tattooed girl groaned as she felt the sharp knee connecting with her midsection, causing her to bent over, before her back was clubbed. "Guh!"

Falling to her hands and knees, Kumi held onto her stomach with one hand, but unable to soothe her sore back. As it was, though, she's really in a bad position because Bunny was right next to her. Not wanting her opponent to hit her for the third times in a row, Kumi gritted her teeth and decided to shoulder the pain to the best of her abilities, and use her other fist to land a punch to Bunny's belly.

“Walk home in your underwear? Nah, I wonâ€t be that cruel, maybe Iâ€ll just leave you tied to a bench half-naked with a dildo still workin you over….” Bunny coldly responded with her adversary on her knees in pain before her. “That should make everything about square between us…” Though a somewhat empty threat, Bunny still felt the need to remind Kumi where she was coming from and how Bunny had every right to hold a grudge against her and Kuro.

“Nnngh!!” The surprise strike to her well-toned abs while reaching down to lift Kumi back to her feet brought her down to one knee to bring her nearly eye-level to the dragon lady. Kumiâ€s determination to prove herself the better warrior was keeping Bunny from taking this match too lightly, now clutching her own stomach after being reminded of the dragon ladyâ€s own substantial strength.

Though not long after the blow, Bunny reached out for the side of Kumiâ€s head with a handful of her hair, hopefully yanking her forward into a side headlock that pulled Kumi forward with her dragon tattooed body draped over Bunnyâ€s, who would also wrap her muscled thighs around her waist in a squeezing embrace if the hold was cinched in properly.

Still grimacing and hurting from the earlier combination of stomach and back pain, Kumi couldn't escape fast enough from Bunny and found herself trapped in a side headlock, while the girl's legs also wrapped around her waist. She grunted and tried to loosen the lock on her neck first, but it didn't work as well as she wanted. The longer she spent on this position, though, the worse it'd be for her, and Kumi knew that perfectly.

"Ghhh... Hnnnnngg...!" she grunted again, but this time, her arms would wrap around the back of Bunny instead of trying to pry the lock open.

Her plan was to lift the girl up, as much as she could, before slamming the back of Bunny to the ground. Hopefully that could loosen the hold so she could work her freedom and roll away from the girl. Standing up right after would be an impossible task, though. She might have to stay on her back for a bit.
