Author Note: Hello human beings! :"D (Or...Something else?O.O) Anyways! This is my first KFP fic(One-Shot?) ^_^ Be nice! :P Oh yeah,let me explain why the title is called 'Among The Shades'. This represents a metaphor for her(Tigress) feelings. It refers to her being far less important because she's in Tai Lungs 'shadow'.

Anyways,enough of my notes ;) Hope you like it :")

I am breaking inside... Little by little, I am falling apart. But you do not care, do you? No... you don't and you never will. What's the point of always trying to make you proud, if you don't even pay a tiny bit attention to me? You gave your love to Tai-Lung, but he became violent after Master Oogway didn't give him the Dragon Scroll; the key to becoming the Dragon Warrior. After that,you have sealed your heart with indestructible walls. Pushing away the love of everybody. Pushing away the love of a little tiger cub who would have done, and who would still, do anything to break those walls. But like I mentioned before... Your walls are unbreakable. They cannot be destroyed. Only by you, they can. But I know you won't. I know that you wouldn't even allow them to crack a little, not even just to peek through it. But if you do, which I perfectly know you wouldn't, you will only see me. That's right. Only me. No one else. You'll only see a desperate little girl trying to break through your walls since the day you adopted her. But now, she is tired. She is fed up of trying. She has stopped.

Still, these wounds do not seem to heal... This pain is much too real... There is just too much, the pressure is too intense. I have heard a few that call me cold-hearted... That is false. My heart is not cold, it's broken. Broken because of you.

Tai Lung wanted to be the Dragon Warrior for power, for the Dragon Scroll and even, maybe, for the fame. He didn't care about the love he would receive from you;he already had it. I too wanted to be the Dragon Warrior but it certainly was not for the same reasons as your favourite pathetic son. I wanted to be the Dragon Warrior to make you proud. That's all, nothing more. But I'm not. And even if I was, I do not think you would change. I do not think you would even show a little love for me. You would only make me try harder.

I am like you now. I have put my own walls around my own heart. No one can get in... Not even you. Even if you tried now and succeeded, you would only be looking at the shattered and now useless pieces. You cannot fix me anymore, I have been broken far too many times... By you.

In the end, I'm the one that falls. Always find my place among the ashes. I'm dying inside. Don't you see it? No, of course not... No one does. No one does, because I keep all of my emotions bottled up. There are a lot of emotions I feel about myself now, all because of you. I feel broken, useless, alone, clueless, confused, betrayed, on the verge of tears, anxious, pathetic, just a burden, distant, lonely, bitter, heartbroken, rejected, crushed, empty, defeated, never good enough...

Because I can really never be good enough, for you, can I? No, of course not... It's always going to be more and more training. That's it. You don't even care about me... The only time that you would actually pay attention to me was if I was badly injured or about to die. Do I always have to be injured to have your attention? Are you ashamed of your own daughter?

Sometimes, I dream... That you give your love to me. Beg my broken heart to beat. But obviously, it never happened, and it is never going to. It's not only unlikely, it's impossible.

Not all wounds heal, not every scar vanishes. Even if you sometimes can't see the pain they feel.
