Jiang silently cursed himself as he realized that his counter had only aided Tigress. [Though he did commit her counter to memory, should he ever need to utilize it] He watched as Tigress hit the mat and recovered almost instantly, then launched herself at him yet again. The tiger growled and bent his knees slightly, then when she thrust both hands forewards in a open-palmed strike, he reacted without hesitation. His own hands flew forewards, grabbing her wrists. He twisted his torso sharply to the left and kicked himself into the air, sending both him and Tigress into a bit of a roll so that when they landed, he would [hopefully] have her pinned, thusly earning him the first point. The only flaw with this tactic was it was all too easy for her to roll them again, and either slam them both into the mat at the same time or turn the tables completly on Jiang. If she did that, he wouldn't have time enough to react and save himself.

[[ This fight needs an interrupt if it's ever going to end LOL ]]
It was almost as if it were a flashback. The bridge.. Tai Lung.. there were lessons learned in that fight. In her mind, though, she may have been tangled with that snow leopard all over again and this time she was not going to be beaten so badly. The moment the roll started, she certainly did take the advantage to reverse it, though only enough to tug herself in close against Jiang, tucking her legs in so that she could plant her feet on his chest. She quickly kicked out, shoving herself forcefully away from him and into a long backflip in preparation for a clean landing. If he doesn't correct himself quickly...

[Lol, agreed. Interruption incoming in the form of Po! {Not 100% sure how well I'll play him, but I'll give it a shot... ]
Jiang wasn't terribly surprised when Tigress turned the tables on him. Her kicking away from him sent him flying backwards at great speed, still rolling a little. As he tumbled head over heel, the tiger used his hands to shove off the mat once more, giving himself control over his flight. He used the thrust to propel himself straight into the air, where he managed to do a single flip and land on his paws on the far side of the arena, facing Tigress. He stood up and shook off, and was about to rush forwards to launch another attack when someone standing a good distance behind Tigress caught his eye. It was Po, the Panda who used to live in the restraunt two buildings down from Jiang's home. That is, before Po went and became the Dragon Warrior on him. What did he want? Jiang stood up straight in a almost military pose and crossed his arms over his chest, his keen ears perked up to listen in and see if the match had to be canceled.
As fate would have it, the day had just gone from being relatively peaceful [Save for the sparring match between Jiang and Tigress] to being a disaster. Ill news had come, and one of the five warriors watching Jiang and Tigress had ended up drawing straws to see who would stop the fight and inform Tigress that Shifu wanted her, ASAP. Po had gotten the short stick. The Panda reluctantly made his way down to the mat, then stood off to the side and cleared his throat a little to get their attention. Before Tigress could get a word off, Po started talking. "Uhh, Tigress, Shifu wants you in... I think it was the Hall of Heroes. He's got a assignment for you. Something about some weird scroll." He blurted out, making sure he was just out of slapping distance.

Once Tigress' feet hit the mat she lashed her tail and locked herself into another stance, flattening her ears and clenching her fangs. This newcomer was proving to be quite the formidable opponent! Perhaps once this match was done - if that ever occurred - she would have to get to know him better. His heart seemed well into the fight and his technique was fine-tuned. Now if only-
She felt the fur on the back of her neck bristle the moment her name was carried on the wind by Po's voice. Leave it to him to interrupt an exciting bout! Her expression turned from one of determination to one of sincere annoyance while she relaxed out of her stance and turned one shoulder toward the panda that she may look on him fully. Mentioning that it was Master Shifu who was sending the summons, though, made her regard the Dragon Warrior with a little less hostility. She nodded once to him in thanks and turned toward Jiang.
"It seems our match will have to be cut short, regretably," she said, "though I will admit that you are, indeed, a worthy opponent. It has been my honor, Jiang. We should meet again sometime." She pressed her fist into her palm and bowed to him, unwittingly departing the arena to proceed to the Hall of Heroes where she has been requested to meet.
The doors were pushed open and the tigress proceeded into the sanctity of the hall, her paws making no sound in the otherwise echoing chamber. Toward the Moon Pool she proceeded. "Master Shifu..?"

Jiang returned Tigress's bow, then watched as she left to meet with Shifu. With a simple sigh, the tiger turned and walked towards the gate, then outside, heading back towards the Village. He had to admit, Tigress was a worthy opponent, and someone he wanted to learn more about. Of course, that's only assuming that her master didn't change his mind about allowing Villagers at the temple.
Shifu's ears twitched as the doors of the Hall were opened, presumably by Tigress. The Master made no attempt to turn around from his position, standing with his back to the entrance and his eyes on Oogway's thousand scrolls. "Tigress, I have a new mission for you. A Villager has recently come into possession of a dangerous and cursed scroll. I need you to go find him and take the scroll from him before he gets himself hurt, or worse, brings yet more destruction to the Valley of Peace. All I have managed to find out about him is that he is a Tiger, and he lives a fairly humble life. Since Tigers are fairly rare around here, you shouldn't have any problems."

A scroll? Posessed by a tiger? Tigress' ear twitch is the only mark that a sudden thought just whisped through her brain. Naturally her immediate instinct is to question the tiger whom she had just spent the past few minutes sparring with in the arena. With a quick bow in respect, she said, "Yes, master." Without waiting for further instruction - a name, perhaps? - she turned and made for the door with intent of stopping Jiang before he departed the premesis. Bursting out into the sunlight and scanning the arena, she narrowed her eyes and frowned at the sight of the others departing, with no sign of Jiang. It would seem this would require another trip to the village. Not before a brief stop at her room, though.
She donned a cloak-like robe around her and fashioned a straw hat borrowed from Master Crane to conceal her appearance. If she were going to go out on the streets of the village, she couldn't have the townsfolk mobbing her as they had done earlier in the morning. The sun was beginning to set which meant that locating Jiang again was going to be more difficult. With a nod to the guards in passing, she set down the steps and into the Village, trying to decide where she should begin her search.

As usual, Jiang was walking in a long, relatively peaceful lap around the village, and was currently at a point where he was farthest away from the Temple. This had been a part of his daily life for ten years, and was a part he always looked forewards to. It was relaxing, and gave him precious time to think. In fact, the walk was such a standard part of his day, that anyone who knew him could tell you exactly where he'd be on his walk and at what time, if you needed to catch up to him.
Jiang's mind was currently focused on a certain scroll that had come into his possesion. It was... Puzzling. It reeked of a darkness, a hidden evil, but on the surface it appeared innocent. He had yet to become curious enough to actually open it and read it, but he had a sincerely bad feeling about what would happen if he were to do such a thing.
