A/N: I'm back; and this time. I'm doing stories for Kung Fu Panda now. Now if you don't like Po/Tigress, then I strongly recommend you don't read it. But anyways, sit back- relax, and enjoy chapter one!

Tigress' lone shadow sat upon the high mountain top of the eastern mountains of china; the howling winds gently picking up as the cool air soared through the mountain tops.

The stars twinkled like diamond jewels hovering over the sleeping villages that lie beneath them. The full moon luminously dangled in the sky; its ghostly white glow casting a long white strip of neon over the lush green landscape. The dark blue sky wavered brilliantly under the moon's brilliant gaze as the cool winds whipped through the night sky.

Tigress sighed lightly, for the breath taking sight of the green plains beneath her and the wavering white light of the full moon was just a perfect combination. She couldn't have asked for a better night; it was just so breath taxingly beautiful.

Tigress sat above the hard rock surface of the boulder that she had perched herself upon. She rested her back on the head of the boulder while she propped her upper body up with her elbows. Tigress had one knee raised while the other leg dangled lazily off the large stony granite.

Tigress' throat lightly vibrated with a soft purr; her spine tingling as she felt the cool sixty two degree air flowing through her shiny orange pelt. She basked in the moon's light; while opening her eyes to take in the full sight of the white sapphire.

The reflection of the night sky was reflected from Tigress' pupils as she glued her vision on to the sky, for it was rare to have a night such as this. Just so clear and beautiful; it reminded her just how beautiful life was.

Then Tigress' mind rested on him- the warrior that had dug deep beneath her iron jaw exterior; and brought out a heart of gold.

The cool frosty air suddenly seemed to get warmer as she further thought of him; his strong arms embracing her in hugs when she needed comfort. His genuine smile gleaming in the sun's rays, always brightening up her world when it seemed darker. His warm heart beat thumping against her ear drums when they cuddle together after long tiring fights from protecting the valley of peace.

Tigress continued to rest her gaze upon the moon; its white glow reminding her of his milky white fur rubbing against hers when she'd hug him tightly.

Ever since he tore down her emotionless walls; Tigress found herself feeling new things. New things that she had never even dreamt of feeling before. It was like she had taken in a big gulp of fresh air that her lungs had refused to breath in for years through her rough life from childhood to adult.

Tigress shifted her position to where she was resting her elbows on top of her kneecaps; never once taking her eyes off the moon that seemed to in rich her with its energy.

Then the roaring sounds of a rumbling waterfall suddenly caught tigress' attention.

The female tiger readjusted her position to where she was now staring down from her resting location from on top of the boulder she laid rest on.

Gazing downward; Tigress took notice of a high cliff spraying beautiful crystal blue waters from its core. The water creating a thick mist around it as the liquids plummeted towards the ground at a high velocity.

"Beautiful night; huh Tigress?", a semi-deep yet familiar voice questioned.

Tigress smiled ever so slightly as she heard the voice of the one she loved so deeply; she showed this love by turning around to welcome the brilliant gaze of a Panda's emerald green eyes.

Po smiled down at Tigress as he slowly made his way to where the tiger was sitting comfortably amongst the rock. "May I join you Ma'm?", the goofy panda questioned as he finally approached Tigress' sitting position.

Tigress' whiskers swayed through the nightly breeze and she smiled up to her newly made loved one. "Of course you can join me; just try not to babble non-stop", the feline giggled to the male panda as she gave him a light punch on the shoulder.

Po winced when Tigress' fist 'lightly' made contact to his arm; for despite Tigress' new softer side- her playful punches still hurt.

Tigress noticed Po wincing when she nudged him in the shoulder; her smile turned into a slight frown. "I'm sorry; I'm still sort of working on this hole 'gentle' thing".

Po smirked his signature grin and bent forward to lean against the beautiful tiger. "Ah its ok; we're warriors! Kind of hard to not be so uhh- less gentler".

Tigress chuckled under her breath; she loved his constant goofiness that never seemed to stop. Turning her head to the right; Tigress slowly leant her head against Po's muscular chest. Taking in every sound of his loud heart beats as the muscle thumped like a drum within his chest.

Po's stomach irrupted into a flock of butterflies when Tigress leant her head against his broad chest. His shoulders quivering from sudden weakness when Tigress pressed her slender body against his own husky body.

This was something new for Po; despite having grown in many categories- fighting being the main one. He had always felt… sort of… weak when he was around her. It was like one moment he'd be fearlessly taking on a hole band of wolf bandits flinging deadly sharp blades at him; then his strength would suddenly melt away.

Tigress felt Po's shudder, then purred in content. She applied a tad bit more pressure to her closeness as she leant in closer to him. Then raising her clawed paw; she cupped the panda's thick cheeks in her palm, then placed a gentle kiss amongst his white lips.

The Panda's eyes went from wide to sudden blissfulness when his lips met hers; the sweet aroma of her jasmine scented fur engulfed his nostrils, completely nauseating him.

As they're lips met; Tigress let her hands travel freely; exploring different parts of Po's back. She couldn't help but giggle under the kiss when she felt Po squirm slightly; for her sharp claws were slightly tickling the panda when she gently ghosted them over his back.

But while she felt his back; and savored the sweet flavor of his kiss- she took notice just how tight Po's body was becoming.

A few months after the defeat of Lord Shen's fleet; Po seemed to have grasped a new concept to life. For he began to put himself through vigorous training exercises; some of the obstacles being more intense then even Shifu's training sessions. He would begin to train harder and rougher then anyone; almost tying himself up to Tigress; but still not fully reaching her potential in training wise.

As the weeks turned to months; Po didn't realize it; but his body began to show great results of his constant exercising.

His arms became less flabby and possessed more defined muscle lining; his belly was now less fat and more bulk. His body went from pure huskiness; to upright rugged. Though he still had some fat on his stomach; his muscle lining was becoming more athletically toned; making his under muscle a slightly more visible.

As Tigress continued her passionate, yet soft kiss; she couldn't help but creek one eye open, there her vision traveled from Po's eyes; which were shut; and laid to rest on his right cheek.

Tigress then spotted something on Po's cheek that'd forever reminded her of his harsh battle on a fight that nearly cost him his life. After a few months had passed after the fight with Shen; Shifu had received news on a terrifying murder that had taken place.

Shifu had received word that murder was actually a distraction for a robbery; rumor had it that rouge hyena bandits had used poisonous darts to kill a bystander to whom was known to run a stand that contained many valuable pieces of gold.

But not fearing anything would happen, and taking comfort in the fact that Po's new found inner peace would delay any chances of failure. Shifu sent Po and Tigress to deal with the bandits that committed such a vial act- to bring them to justice.

But what turned out to be such a simple mission… soon turned into a fight for life and death.

For during the fight; Tigress was separated from Po; as Po struggled to get out of a charging heard; Tigress failed to see one of the bandits swing a heavy makeshift axe at her. But Po had spotted the attack; and had gotten there just in time to hit Tigress out of the way; and take the gruesome blade.

What had only looked like a slight scratch at the time; had now became a deep red savvy scar that would forever remain a reminder of that battle.

Tigress observed the long jaggedly edged red scratch; the deepness of the wound had caused a puncture to the panda's skin cells. Meaning that he was unable to grow his hair back in that one specific area right under his right eye; making the scar even more noticeable.

Seeing that visible scar pained Tigress; for the idea of Po having nearly lost his eye from the hyena's axe really stung a hole in her heart.

Finally running out of air; Tigress and Po forced themselves away from each other, but still remained in each other's grasp.

Po smiled warmly at his feline lover; he enjoyed her so much- he almost couldn't stand it. He also took notice that she was staring at his scar; this act causing him to chuckle.

Then before Po knew it; Tigress took Po in her protective arms. She buried her face into his soft pelt; fearing that if she let go, he'd disappear forever. Tigress shuddered at this fact; fighting back one tear that threatened to fall from her eye socket.

Po starred at Tigress; then smiling he hugged her back, "Hey its okay… I am not going anywhere- I'm here for you".

Tigress smiled at Po's wonderful words; letting her heart of stone flutter with beating wings.

Then reaching out; Tigress planted yet another kiss upon Po's lips. It ignited a tingling inferno of romantic feelings wavering inside Tigress' heart. She continued to kiss him passionately, not caring if others could be watching them. All that mattered what that he was hers; and that they were together- and would remain together till the curtains fell and the lights went out.

Po slowly rolled over onto his back; letting the aggressive Tiger rest her body upon his belly. She wrapped her arms around his neck; and he wrapped his arms around her slim waist.

Tigress fought the urge to just dig her claws into Po's back; not wanting to hurt him to anyway. But the urge was very tempting; but Tigress had a strong enough will power to keep her claws retracted.

The kiss began to get deeper as Tigress tightened her grip around Po's shoulders. Her tail wrapped around his leg as she tickled him with her whiskers.

Po smiled as the moon casted a ghastly glow over his mate's body; the light reflecting off of her body made the panda smile in awe. He observed her natural beauty; her beautiful fur blowing in the wind.

Tigress finally ended the kiss to give her mate a moment to breath; then smiling, she leaned down and massaged his shoulders. "You have handsome eyes, dragon warrior", the feline purred in admiration.

Po chuckled under his breath as he observed the feline whom was currently resting on top of his stomach. "Well your eyes are more beautiful".

Tigress flicked his nose with her tail, "Charmer". She giggled and continued to rest on his soft mattress like belly.

Tigress' eyes began to droop; and she slowly began to reminisce the day that had led up to this point in their relationship. What had caused her to realize her emotions for him.

~Flashback (2 years ago)~

Lightning struck as Po whiplashed his body through a thundering heard of water buffalo. He dodged in and out by sliding from side to side as he came within inches from nearly being gored by the massive beast's horns.

From a higher up altitude; Tigress could only watch helplessly as Po struggled to dodge and weave his way out of the thick mob of charging buffalo. She was unable to help the Panda as she was being targeted by three hyena bandits that had just happened to be apart of this whole mess.

The hyena's had started the buffalo heard by firing black smoke grenades to startle the massive beast; for they had hopped the scattering mob would make Tigress and Po lose sight of them.

Well their plan had only worked for one; for Po had made a slight slip up by doing a roll down a rocky hill top and ended up right in the center of the heard.

But Tigress; whom had stayed on top of the hill was able to catch the bandits who had committed a evil murder. But as the feline fought them- she had failed to see Po nearly getting trampled to death by the startled heard the bandits had started.

Tigress dodged each blade with swift efficiency; causing the hot-headed bandits to grunt with dire frustration. Still they swing faster and faster; in hopes of catching the tiger and killing her; but with each swing; they only failed more.

Finally Tigress spotted an opening; one hyena bandit had dropped his blade from tiredness of his constant swinging. Then drawing her foot back; Tigress did a round-house kick and planted a vicious blow to the hyena bandits head.

Then quickly turning; Tigress swing her claws and counteracted another hyena bandits sword; blocking it with her claws.

As the battle progressed; the hyena that Tigress had kicked earlier had just gotten to his feet. The bandit slobbered in anger as drool dripped from his fangs; then quickly picking up an axe he had dropped. The bandit raised the axe above high above his head.

Then drawing back, the bandit charged.

Tigress was still focusing on the other two bandits that seemed to not give up. She failed to detect the third hyena that processing near her at a very fast pace.

Po had finally made it past the last of the charging buffalo heard; but he had received damage from a ferocious kick one of the larger bulls gave him to the chest.

Just as Po began to recover; he suddenly looked up just in time to see Tigress distracted by two bandits… and the third bandit heading right towards her with a huge axe!

Po gasped in horror; then quickly crouching down; he launched himself off the ground and raced towards the bandit. He huffed as he pushed himself harder and harder; for running was never really Po's strong point; but then again he never had a very strong drive; but this drive was to save the one he secretly loved the most.

Tigress turned around just in time to witness the bandit just inches away; but didn't have time to brace herself. So she shut her eyes tightly; waiting for the blade's slicing contact.

But however; the blow never came.

For a powerful sheer force had knocked into Tigress' right hip; nearly dislocating it the force of the push.

Tigress flew a good distance before crashing into the dirt; she groaned. But then the sounds of a shrieking yelled pounded against her hear drums.

Quickly looking up; Tigress; world was darkened.

Where Tigress was currently standing; stood a large stain of blood soaking the ground. Po stood in the spot where Tigress was nearly sliced in half; he stood there shacking; both his hands were covering his face.

The bandit was frozen; his brain failing to grasp on what had just happened. One moment he was charging blinding at the tiger for kicking him, and then he saw black and white; then swung the blade.

Tigress opened her mouth; not no words came out. Her eyes went wide when her mind finally understood what had just happened- she figured it out when she saw red liquid drip from between Po's finger tips as he covered his face.

Anger suddenly bursted through Tigress; quicker then lightning as she sprung to her feet. She dashed like a bullet towards the bandit; seeing nothing but red hot hate.

The bandit was knocked over by a black and orange blur, he was knocked unconscious from a series of fist and kicks rapidly being thrown to his head.

Tigress then reached down and grabbed the hyena by his flank; then taking a step away; she dragged the hyena bandit over towards a cliff edges.

Then looking down; she spotted some rapid currents beneath her.

Tightening her grip on the Hyena's neck; she held him over the edge. Wanting the last thing the Hyena would see was her red eyes.

Then she released her grip; and watched the bandit plummet to his death; only looking away when she heard a 'splash!'.

Finally the anger melted away; and recalling the event of Po saving her life.

Then sudden fear took over, "Po!", Tigress yelled with dreadful fear as she raced over to him.

Po had collapsed onto ground; his hands still covering his face.

Tigress slid to her knees and grabbed Po's arms; then quickly removing them from his face; she witnessed a heart twisting sight.

A huge red gash swayed around Po's eye; the gash wasn't huge; but was very deep… and what caused Tigress real dead- was the fact that the gash made contact with his eye.

Fearing that he might've lost his eye; Tigress wrapped her arms around Po's head and sat his large white head into her lap. There she cradled him to her chest as hot tears began to leak from her leaking eye sockets.

She looked upon Po's bruised and scarred face, she couldn't help but ask. "Po… why did you save me?", she asked through raspy breaths.

Po opened his eyes the best he could. Then slowly reaching out; he caressed Tigress' wet cheek. "Because… I love you".

Tigress heart nearly stopped; her eyes wide with astonishment. Something new washing over her hardened emotions; and finally taking it in with a soft embrace.

~End of Flashback~

Tigress shivered at the memory coursing through her mind; but yet… despite the deep grief the mission had caused for both of them. It did do one thing for both of them.

It made Tigress realize just how much Po loved her.

It was not the fact that he saved her; oh no… it was the fact that he'd die for her.

She'd do the same for him…

There the rest of the night was spent with Tigress resting with her mate as they gazed among the clouds; savoring every moment they spent with one another. Letting sleep soon take over; and each slumbered within each other's arms.

A/N: Well there's chapter one; sorry if there is spelling mistakes. My computer is acting up so I gave up on trying to mess with it. Hope you like it; review please.
