I know, I know, this was supposed to be a one-shot, but I got quite a few reviews telling me to make another chapter, so...here it is! I hope you like it!

Touya ran after Jin, furious, or, at least Jin seemed to think so. The Ice Master was only pretending to be angry. Really he was amused. In all the commotion, his crazy friend had forgotten of his power over wind, which he could have easily summoned to blow the giant tree away.

As the Master of Ice ran through the forest, suddenly something tugged on his clothing. He turned and found that his shirt was stuck in the prickles of a large bush. Touya reached over to untangle it, but his sleeve also got caught.

The Ice Master growled in frustration and reached over with his other hand to untangle his sleeve. But then that sleeve got tangled as well.

Touya growled again and decided to rip his way out. So he pulled, but his clothing would not tear, and the bush wouldn't let him go. No matter how hard he yanked, the prickles held fast.

"Oh come ON!" Touya roared, and gave one last mighty pull. The branches on the bush snapped easily that time. Touya was caught off balance and flew backward into another bush.

The Ice Master groaned as he picked himself up. Then he tried to get out of that bush, only to find that the prickles held almost every inch of his clothing. He struggled wildly to escape the bush, but to no avail. Every time he moved, another piece of his clothes got caught and tangled.

So, Touya decided to wait for someone to come by and help him. Surely Jin would notice that he had gone missing. So there he sat amidst the brush. Fifteen minutes went by. A half hour. No one came. An hour. An hour and a half. Two hours. Still no sign of anyone.

By this time, it was beginning to get dark, and Touya was beginning to worry. What if no one ever found him? Was he destined to live out the rest of his days attached to a shrubbery?

Just before Touya went insane with these thoughts ringing in his mind, he heard someone approaching. He sensed that it was his teammate, Risho the Master of Earth. "Help me please!" he called out, furious that he had to stoop to asking Risho for help. They hadn't been on good terms since the Dark Tournament.

Soon Risho found him, lying there in the brush. "What are you doing there?" the Earth Master asked, giving Touya a sour look. The Ice Master grinned sheepishly. "I know this sounds ridiculous, Risho, but I got caught and I can't get untangled. Could you help me?"

"I'll think about it," Risho said lazily, and began to walk away. "Risho! Wait, Risho! You can't just leave me here!"

The Earth Master looked back and smirked at him over his shoulder. "I can and I will," he said, unknowing quoting Touya's conversation with Jin. But unlike Touya, he did not turn around to help. Instead, he briskly walked away, leaving Touya alone again.

"Of all the nerve..." Touya muttered to himself. He made another feeble attempt to free himself, but it was useless.

Night fell, and still no one came for him. "Come on, Jin. Where are you?" he would mumble every hour or so.

After what seemed like decades, the sun rose, bringing with it the voices of birds singing happily. It also brought another voice.

"Icy? Icy, where ya be hidin?" an Irish accented voice called.

Touya perked up, his eyes wide in disbelief. "JIN! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!"

"Icy? Tha' you?"

"OF COURSE IT'S ME!!" Touya snarled. "NOW COME HELP ME!!!"

Soon Jin's face appeared in front of Touya's. The Wind Master was floating upside-down in the air. "Icy!" he exclaimed, a silly grin on his face. "Wha' are ya doin' in there?"

Touya's right eyebrow twitched violently. "I..got..stuck..now..get..me..out," he ordered through clenched teeth.

"Sure! One free Ice Master, comin' righ' up!" Jin said. He grabbed Touya's shoulders with his bare arms and pulled upward. The Ice Master didn't budge. "Cum on!" the Wind Master growled, pulling upward again. The bush wouldn't let go.

"I guess I'll have ta do i' the hard way," Jin said with displeasure, but set to work pulling each and every individual prickle off his friend's clothing. It took nearly two hours, but finally Touya was free.

"Tha's none I be owin' ya now," Jin said as they walked back to the dojo. Touya nodded. "Agreed. Thanks, Jin."

"Anytime!" his friend replied, but then stopped short. "Uh, Icy?"

"Yeah, Jin?"

"Uh, why didn' ya jus' freeze tha' evil bush?"

Touya's right eyebrow twitched uncontrollably. He reached for the Wind Master's neck again. "When I get my hands on you..." he growled. Jin yelped and skyrocketed into the air.

For the second time in two days, Jin flew for the safety of the dojo, with Touya not far behind.
