Mating Season
Shifu tiredly rubbed his head. After all these years….He should have known. Not only was the jeopardy of the Palace was in stake but maybe even the entire world. He had thought about giving the message to Five but what good could they do against him now?
A shift, a thump, movement, breath.
Shifu slowly turned around to his face his son. Tai Lung. Whom glared down on him, his green eyes were striking him like lightning. Shifu had been expecting him.
"Father." Tai Lung says with a slight rumble in his throat. "I've arrived."
It seemed that Tai Lung was waiting on something. Maybe the five to burst through the door and try to fight him? When he felt that no one else was within the Palace, the leopard relaxed but only a little.
"You don't have the Five with you?" Tai Lung asks amusingly. "I thought you would have wanted them around since your son is back in town?"
"I don't need them to fight my battles." Shifu held his staff closer to his chest.
Tai Lung blinked, with a chuckle, he added. "Oh, and what if I am not here to fight?"
"Then what are you here to do?" Shifu asks becoming more hostile towards his unwanted visitor.
Tai Lung smiled at his father's insecurities and cautiousness. "I've come to strike a deal."
"A deal? What do you want? Money? Power?" Shifu asks harshly. "What else? You want to come here and make a fool of me?"
Tai Lung glared at him, "I've come to say that I will protect this stupid Valley and its people with that ludicrous team of yours but with only one condition."
Shifu said nothing as he listened to his go on. He eyed him warily before signing, "On what condition?"
"I want to take one of your students as my mate." Tai Lung grinned evilly at his father's horrified expression. He continued, "It's been so long since I have been able to have a fulfilling partner. And who would be more fulfilling than a student of The Master Shifu?"
"I will not give you one of my students!" Shifu barked. "You do not even come worthy of their presence let alone their touch and you believe that I would just hand one off to you!?"
"I think you would if you learned what I learnt from ancient kung fu masters mid east." Tai Lung stepped toward his father. "If you knew," Tai Lung growled, "You'd give them up faster than the blink of an eye."
Shifu froze in his place. He now regretted not calling the five.
"So what do you say Father?" Tai Lung smiled. "Do we have a deal?"
Line Break.
"I told you I would stuff 400 dumplings in my mouth!" Po and the five walked into the Jade Palace after a night of celebration for their anniversary since the day they had made him Dragon Warrior and defeated Tai Lung.
"I didn't think you could do it." Tigress smiled.
Po blushed awkwardly, "Y-yeah!"
Everyone had noticed the change between him and Tigress over their years of training together and their experiences of battling not only evil but with their emotions as well. They all had grown much together actually. They had learned so much more after Po had arrived who had taught them something that Shifu could have never taught them; Friendship.
"So Po," Crane asks as they enter the Jade Palace. "Any plans later?"
"You mean for tomorrow?" Po rubs his chin. "Well I was thinking about visiting my dad and staying there for a fee says since he-"
A sudden feeling overcame the panda as they stepped only one foot into the Palace. He knew something wasn't right.
"Po?" Viper asks slither to his feet. "Are you ok?"
The Dragon Warrior said nothing as he slowly furthered deeper into the Palace's main room. The Five had too become cautious as they followed their leader into their home. Each posed for a fight.
"You sense something Po?" Monkey looks around their home. "I don't see anything."
"It could be because the lights are off."
The team froze. They knew that voice. Each looked to another frantically hoping it was just their imagination. When no one responded to one another, they all had a resonating fear above them.
With a blink of an eye, the lights turned on. There, standing near the candle light by the door, was Tai Lung.
"Tai Lung." Po whispered. "How?"
"I don't think it's time for questions-" Tai Lung scratched his chin. "At least not for now-"
"What are you doing here?" Tigress growled.
Tai Lung grinned, "Now what did I just say?"
"Where is Shifu and why are you here?" Monkey asks not as bold as Tigress but just as commanding. "Po defeated you once-"
"Your master and I have struck a deal." Tai Lung sighs after not being able to talk without answering their questions. The Five were silent.
"What deal would Shifu make with you?" Viper hissed.
Tai Lung disappeared then reappeared in front of them. The Five all jumped and stepped back. The leopard was fast. Faster than before.
"A deal where I would have the chance to take on you as my mate in exchange I will turn to the good side." Tai Lung watched as their expressions dropped.
The Five didn't believe it.
"I'd rather hear it from Shifu!" Crane yelled.
"It...It is true." a voice appeared from the shadows. Shifu, worn with age, stepped out into the light. "I am sorry but it is the only way to protect the Valley."
"Shifu…" Tigress eyes widened at her master.
Shifu looked down at the floor, he couldn't look his students in the eyes, "Tai Lung, go ahead, choose."
Tai Lung stepped forward eyeing them all but he knew which one he wanted. He stood in front of Po, in a quick instant, his paw was squeezing the fabric between the panda's crotch. He looked back at his father, "I want this one."
Po's face lit up into a wildfire as the leopards paw squeezed harder. Tai Lung looked back at him with a smirk on his face.
"I'm going to have so much fun with you, Dragon Warrior." Tai growled softly leaning over to gently lick the pandas cheek. "So much fun."
The pandas eyes seemed conflicted. He was frozen in a statue as they leapord continued to plant short licks on him.
"Where is your room?" Tai Lung asks as he licked the panda's ear.
The Five could do nothing but watch in fright as the Dragon Warrior was pursued by the leopard. Tigress blood had boiled but her master had made this deal. It was not one for her to intervene. Yet what could they do?
"Tai Lung." Shifu coughed.
The snow leopard growled as he pulled away from his soon to be mate, "Yes? What is it?!"
A frown appeared on Shifus face. "Nevermind. Tigress, Crane, Viper, Monkey, and Mantis. Come now, we are not staying at the Palace tonight...As you can see…."
He didn't need to finish the sentence. Everyone knew what he had meant. Tai Lung needed the Palace to do his business with Po.
The Dragon Warrior gulped.
"Hurry up and leave!" Tai yelled. The Five had packed their things and had been out only in seconds. Tigress and the team had said words of encouragement to the Dragon Warrior as they passed.
With them gone, Tai could finally do what he had wished with the Panda that had been feeling his thoughts ever since their last battle.
"Now," Tai Lung turned back to the panda that seemed to be shaking. The leopard licked his lips. "Let's get you stripped."
"Actually...I'm um….pretty hungry." Po nervously says placing a hand on his belly. "You don't mind I'd we eat first?"
"You ate already." Tai narrowed his eyes. His paws firmly grasped the rope used as a belt on Po's pants. "Lets drop these and head to your bedroom."
"M-my room is pretty small for the both of us-"
"A guest room then." Tai Lung pulled the rope unloose. The pandas pants would have fell to the floor of the panda didn't catch them in time. The leopard growled. "Po."
"W-w-what?" the Dragon Warrior asks as innocently as he could. "I'm a little tired too and-"
"We can share a bathe in the springs." Tai Lung commands. "Then bed."
Po wasn't sure about Tai Lung's use of the word but hopefully during the bath he could get some answers from the leopard.
Line Break.
"Get in." Tai Lung instructed the Panda as he stripped himself of his clothing and hopped into the bath.
Po had taken off his pants but hurriedly stepped into the spring before Tai Lung could get a peek of him. The leopard was on the opposite side of him, watching him. Neither moved from their spots.
"So...Tai...what are you doing back?" Po asks playing with the bubbles of the water. The leopard eyed him up and down. Po nervously laughed. "O-oh y-yeah to mate me."
The leopard moved toward him making the panda move backward.
"I-I meant how are you back? I kinda destroyed you." The Dragon Warrior inched backwards. "Where were you? What happened after I used the Wushu Finger Hold?"
"I was in Mid East. How I survived the Wushu Finger Hold, I don't even know myself. I was hurt; badly. I had travelled far after our battle to be taken in by complete strangers who I now know as family." Tai Lung was now in front of Po, he wrapped his arms around the Pandas neck and began to purr into the warrior's fur.
Po twitched a little, "But if they were like family then why did you leave?"
"I wanted something more than family." Tai Lung rubbing his body against Po's. "Something I could bring back to them proudly."
Po held back a moan as Tai Lung began to gently rub against his crotch with his own. The leopard began to place kisses down his neck.
"Tai…" Po breathed out in short pants. "Please...stop."
"Panda I smell your scent." Tai Lung sniffs in deeply. "You smell so ready to mate."
The leopard placed a hot kiss on the Dragon Warrior's mouth. Po was dazed for a moment as Tai Lung began to stick his tongue into his mouth.
Po had snapped to his senses. The enemy was kissing him! The leopard that tried to kill him! Who tried to kill his friends! His master! His Tigress! Po broke away from the kiss and pushed Tai Lung away.
He wiped his mouth with his arms and dared not to look at the leopard.
"Was something wrong with the kiss?" Tai Lung asks. "Did I accidentally bite you? I'm sorry sometimes they can get in the way-"
"Why me? Why do you want me so badly?" Po asks staring at the water with a vague expression. "Is it because I defeated you? Because I'm the Dragon Warrior? What is it? Why pop up and out of the blue make me your mate?"
Tai Lung was quiet.
"Well," Po asks as his anger boiled. "What's the reason?"
"Ever since our battle," Tai Lung says quietly almost like he were scared someone else than Po would hear him. "You taught me something I never learned and since then my thoughts have only been on you...Yes, your strength does entice me more than you know actually. And holding The Dragon Warrior title is a bonus but I would still want you as my mate even if you didn't have those qualities anymore."
The leopard heard the panda scoff, "No you wouldn't. I'd be just a big fat panda that no one would want. And just because I taught you something and been on your doesn't mean you're in love with me."
Tai Lung did not have time to say anything as the Dragon Warrior stepped out of the spring and began to dress himself.
"What are you doing? Get back here!" Tai growled. Po said nothing as he tightened the rope around his pants.
The panda met the leopard's eyes. "I'm going to bed."
Tai sat in the as spring confused as he watched the panda make his way back into the Palace. The leopard could hear Shifus voice in his head mocking him.
Be Gentle.
