Another bunny to lead her into the forest.

Lili's golden locks flew around her in a whirl as she turned, keenly feeling eyes upon her. Someone had been watching her from the woods.

She was only able to catch a glimpse of the watcher before whoever it was disappeared into the darkness. Ordinarily, that'd mean only a brief chance to form a description. In this case, however, it was a body Lili would have known anywhere. "That unflattering, tomboyish haircut, those gorilla-like muscles, that well-sculpted ass..." Lili reduced her voice to a whisper for that last part, which was meant only for herself. It was definitely Asuka Kazama, Lili's chosen rival! And from the brief flash of sun-tanned Japanese skin Lili had caught, Asuka had probably been captured and wrapped in something as debasing as her own outfit. "As if anyone cares to see the sweaty musculature of a ruffian like that," Lili reminded herself.

Lili would hesitate to rely on Asuka even if the fate of the world seemed to be at stake, so it was hard to call out for her now. Convincing herself that part of her just wanted Asuka to come back so she could laugh at her rival's appearance, she cupped her hands and called. "Miss Kazama! Show yourself! It is I, your rival, the proud Emilie De Rochefort!"

The bounding steps in the brush where Asuka disappeared grew fainter. Asuka wasn't returning with a response: she was running away! Lili took steps towards the clearing and shouted once more. "Miss Kazama, reticent as I am to rely on your aid, in our present situation-! Asuka! Asuka, you cow, damn you! Come back here, I order you on the Rochefort name!!"

Only her echo returned. The time for yelling was over. Lili had many talents, but being an expert tracker was not one of them: if Lili didn't catch up to her frenemy, she might lose her!

"Wait! Asuka, hold on!" Lili began sprinting in the direction she'd seen Asuka run. She wasn't sure she could match Asuka's explosive power, but she was confident in her speed. "I'm not upset at you, I'm not trying to fight you! Let us put aside your petty rivalry for a moment and work together, please!"

Quickly, Lili began to tire out. Her agility in combat was one thing; running through the woods in uncomfortable high heels was another. As an added annoyance, she was being made very aware of her bra-less state; she didn't have as much as Asuka did to bounce, but what she did have wasn't being supported at all, and Lili was repeatedly **** to use her hands and keep the chest of her outfit from peeling away from her breasts. Still, determined not to lose her guiding star in this otherwise similar-looking forest, Lili panted as she **** herself forward. After a short sprint that felt like hours, panting and propping herself on a tree, Lili came to new realizations:

First, she had lost track of Asuka. No matter where she looked, she didn't see a sign of another human being.

Second, she was incredibly hungry. Earlier, she'd had bigger things to worry about; now that her stamina had been tested, she was mortified to hear her stomach rumble. For a woman used to having a butler serve her three meals and afternoon tea on a regular schedule, it was a completely foreign noise.

Third, and perhaps most importantly...
