Kung Fu panda fanfic: story of the white wolf
Author's note: wow, finally, a story to post. This story got nothing to do with Po or the main characters in the film, at least in this chapter. it's about my oc, keep reading and you'll see.
Disclaimer: I don't own nothing from DreamWorks, just my oc, my imagination, the original plot.
Freezing wind blew strong, in the mountain of Himalaya. The sight was barely visual. A figure strode beneath the harsh weather, each strode heavy, yet powerful. The wolf was a big one. At the height of a tiger, with broad shoulders, strong limbs, muscular build, and snowy white fur. He was a tough one. His journey started in a far, mysterious place, and he was heading to China. His deep black eyes scoured the land, seeing only thick snow, and occasionally, cliffs. He wore a thick black cloak to hide from the cold, with a hood on his head. Silence kept existing, after a while:
"Tell me again why am I doing this?"-his deep voice asked.
"Come on Kann, at least it's better than home." Said a voice in his cloak.
"We have no home, remember? The last time we had a home, it was ransacked by some hunters, hunting for me." Said Kann, with a taste of sarcasm, yet indeniedably calm.
"Come on, will you gonna cling to that? It was an accident!" The hidden voice said. Then a reptile slithered out of his cloak, onto his left shoulder. A black mamba became visual under the delicate rays of sun light. Black eyes, grey back scales, and white scales underneath. Tattoo patterns spreaded his upper half, and a few scale less spots. Proof for a life of fighting. Since the reptile came out, the weather seemed brighter; the storm was gone, and sunlight began to shine.
"Ok, ok. Just kidding Za Shen! At least they won't find us. Not when we have already used the storm to cover us." Said the wolf.
"Are we there yet?" The snake said with anticipation.
"I think we're not. Just a few more miles."
"ARH, this is got damn boring!"-groaned Za Shen, his fiery "passion" extinguished.
(Sunset, eight hours later)
"Alright, we'll camp here through the night." Said Kann, standing in front of a cave.
"Urh alright. You better start that fire! We reptiles are cold blooded you know!" Whined the snake.
"Yes father." Said Kann with an amused tone. The two then both broke into a laugh.
"HEY look!" The snake suddenly shouted, making Kann turned his head around. There was a figure in the snow, having just collapsed when Za Shen shouted. immediately, Kann rushed out of the cave, to the figure's side. It was a clouded leopard, a female clouded leopard. She had beautiful blue eyes, at least that was what Kann thought, she blinked once, then fell into unconsciousness, Kann checked her pulse, relieved when he knew she was alive. Then the wolf scooped her up into his arms, bringing her to the campfire he just made.
"Who's she?" Asked Za Shen
"I thought that was my question." Said the wolf, while putting his black cloak on the freezing leopard. Then he opened his pack, looking for some warm clothes, and food to eat.
"Hey! I was saving those!" Shouted annoyedly by the snake.
"Come on, she's in danger, her temperatures dropped pretty low, not to mention the exhaustion" Answered Kann, still trying to make the leopard better.
"Since when did you have that kind of compassion? Don't tell me you like her!", and there's silence, awkward silence." OH NO! Please, not this!" The snake whined "Do you remember that last time you had a girlfriend? I ended up in the graveyard with a pile of people on my back!"
"That was different." Said Kann, annoyance in his voice. "I was young, I was foolish."
"And are you different now?"
"careful, Shen! you don't wanna be my back scratcher again!"
"ok ok, I'm done" Muffled the snake "So, what now?"
"speaking of that, I think she's waking."
The two went over to the leopard, seeing her eyes was slowly opening, then a groan escaped her lips.
"Urh, where am I?"
"You're safe. And you're with us now."Calmly said by the wolf.
The leopard slowly sat up, but a hand gently set her back down.
"Please, don't move, you're in bad conditions."
"who are you?" Asked he leopard.
"I forgot my manners. Please, let me introduce. I'm Kann, a white wolf, and that whining black mamba over there is Za Shen." Formally said the wolf, the last part caused a small hiss from the snake.
"We are on a journey to China. Looking for a home, a new beginning." The wolf's deep calm voice continued. "And what about you? what's your name and may I ask why were you out in these terrible freezing place?"
"My name is Song. I'm used to run a group of…..well, we are, were, called the Ladies of the Shade, we once were thieves, but the Dragon Warrior opened my eyes, and I was set to change the way we live. Unfortunately….. I failed….. That's why I need to get back to China, for a new home and probably to visit a *friend*." Explained the clouded leopard.
"Well, guess that we're on the same boat." The snake jumped in, causing a small glare to escape Kann's eyes.
Standing up, Kann said "Eat my part, I'm not hungry tonight. It's dark already and I think you need it more than I do. I'm off to my watch, good night miss."
"Please, call me by my name: Song, and….thanks for the meal, and everything." Song said gratefully, her eyes looked straight into Kann's, and he just stood there for a few seconds before:
"Kann, I think you should go do what you said you would: YOUR NIGHT WATCH!" Shouted Shen, clearly irritated by the scene.
"Right, I'm just gonna….um, right, I'll be over there."-Kann said, surprised by the snake's shout, then clumsily made his way to the entrance of the cave.
Song just smiled a little. She took a bite out of Kann's food. At the time, she didn't notice a pair of eyes watching her. Shen's eyes. Strangely enough, his gaze was to study, to learn, not to harm.
"Excuse me, but why are you staring at me?"
The snake snapped out to reality, embarrassed by his actions. After a few seconds he finally spoke
"I'm sorry. I'm just, well, studying you."
"For what?"-asked Song, confused.
"Well, we don't usually meet strangers along the journeys and help them. Kann, today he seemed, different. I just wanted to study you, who I think is the source of his strange behavior, to figure it out. He's like a brother to me, I'm just being careful" Shen said honestly. Then the snake quickly turned away. "So sorry, now, I think you should do what he told you to."
"Ok, next time, just ask. I don't bite you know."-Song said playfully, earning a small smile from the snake.
"Ok, eat and rest. If you need anything, ask….um, ask him. I'll be over here"-Shen said, pointing to Kann sitting at the entrance of the cave.
"Right, thanks." Song responded. Then turned to eat her meal.
The silent night came, Kann sat sturdily at the cave's entrance. His stern, tough face illuminated by the moon. The storm had fully gone, only the silent cold, the freezing wind, the snowy surface. He thought of his goal. A new home, he thought. All his life, he lived a hard character. Trust no one but himself, except for the snake. He learned so much along the way. He had met monks from China, on there way to other lands, to spread their faith. They taught him Kung Fu when he had saved them from bandits. He was a fast learner. One of the monks even said: "You have a true talent for Kung Fu, my friend. It's a pity thing to see you wander the world for a place to call home. If you have the chance, go to the Valley of Peace, the kung Fu masters there would give you peace." That was his destination. Kann sat there, alone to his thought. another day went by, he said to himself.
