Yet another story featuring Po and Tigress, the idea for this one came to me after watching the KFP 2 for a second time. After everything that they have been put through by Lord Shen, I just thought I would be nice to have the two them realize the depths of their feelings and have them serendipitously confess. As usual I welcome all opinions. Plz R&R

At true loves first kiss
Chapter One,
True loves first kiss
The festivities of the previously oppressed citizens of Gongmen City had ended and the ruin's of Lord Shen's naval armada lay sinking in the city's harbor, however while everyone else was soundly sleeping, one lone warrior could not, her dreams haunted by the events that had just taken place there. Unable to sleep the feline had quietly slipped out of the luxurious Golden Dragon Inn that Stuart's and fellow Master's Croc and Ox, had put them up in for the night before their journey home the next morning and had begun to wander the cities empty and rumble strewn streets. Weather it was consonantal or not, the master of tiger style eventually found herself standing on what remained the coastal cities docks. Looking out over what little remained visible of the disgraced crown princes fleet, mainly bits and pieces of floating debris that were steadily drifting out to sea, the usually strong and emotionless leader of the Furious Five lowered her head and began to cry. A seemingly endless river of tears flowed from her eyes as the female warrior openly cried for the first time in years.
Mean while back at the Inn, Po unable to sleep himself threw back the sheets of his futon and sliding his door open as quietly possible stepped out in to the hallway. After closing it just as quietly behind him, the dragon warrior tip-toed to the room directly across the hall from his and softly knocking as not to draw the others attention or catch the rooms occupant unaware, wondering if Tigress was awake as well so that the two of them might have a nice little chat. Ever since his defeat of Tai Lung, he had become closer with all the members of the furious five and could now proudly call them his friends but he had become especially close with the female tiger and she with him; the two had become so close that and knew so many intimate details about the others life, that it would not be a stretch of the imagination to call them reluctant lovers. Becoming slightly worried when he didn't receive a response verbial or otherwise to his knock, a few minutes later, the Dragon Warrior cautiously took hold of the recess handle and slid the door open a creak. Peering into the rooms lavishly furnished interior and seeing that the sheets of her futon were haphazardly thrown back as well, knew that she was likely wondering the dark streets of the ruined city no doubt attempting to deal with something that was keeping her awake. At least partly worried about her safety while the other half of him, wanted to comfort her in any way that he could, Po slid the door closed and quietly walking down the hallway went to go look for the feline.
Fortunately there was a full moon that night, so he did not have to barrow one of the Inn's lanterns to see where he was going as he walked the cities darkened streets, five minutes later. The streets of Gongmen City looked extremely different from they had only a few hours earlier as the citizens celebrated the fail of Lord Shen, back then they were filled so much joy and laughter as everyone let loose but now that everyone was asleep the city felt eerily still and lifeless so much so that he almost expected to be jumped by the wolves that had managed to escape being round-up every time that he walked past the deeply shadowed ally ways that criss-crossed many of the cities main streets. After checking all the usual places that he thought the feline might be and not finding her at any of them, the giant panda went to check the last place in all of China that he thought she might be, the city's harbor, and found her there with her head bowed for some unknown reason. As Po cautiously drew closer toward Tigress, a few moments later, not wanting to startle her the Dragon Warrior saw the reason she had head bowed, she was crying as if it she had not done so in many years. Seeing the feline that he secretly held most dear, in tears was like a knife directly to his heart; he could handle almost any injury an adversary inflected upon him but to see his secret love in so much pain was heart breaking for him, that was why he had pushed the piece of broken hull she weakly managed cling to, out of the way before he went to make his final show down with the peacock and his armada of powerfully armed ships because he didn't want to see her get any further injured.
Noticing that Tigress had not sensed his presence yet which was usual since the feline had the same uncanny ability to sense when someone was approaching her just like Shifu, Po stopped directly in front of her and wrapped his arms around her in a gentle reassuring hug. Looking up as she felt a pair of arms gently embrace her, the tiger felt a warm smile spread across her muzzle, when she saw whom they belonged to. Slipping her arms around his neck, from where they sat upon the front of his chest, a few moments later, Tigress locked her fingers together as they came to rest at the back of the panda's neck and after briefly rubbing her nose over his, pressed her lips against his in a tender loving kiss. Po felt his eyes grow wide the first moment their lips first made contact but quickly recovering from the shock, of his secret loves first truly intimate exchange with him, closed his eyes and relaxed into the kiss. Turning their heads slightly to the side in either direction as the kiss deepened, a few moments later, as the panda returned hers with one of his own matching the intensity of the tigers kiss perfectly; both warriors knew in their heart's, they had found the one they were meant to spend the rest of their lives with.
Playfully rubbing her nose over his and growling happily as the two warriors broke apart for air, five minutes later, Tigress ceased her light nuzzling and tucking her head under his chin, snuggled as close as she possible could against the pillowy soft fur that covered Po's wide chest while a very noticeable purr rumbled from her throat. Wrapping his arms more securely around the tiger's lower back, the Dragon Warrior felt her almost instinctively nestle even closer to him, the silk material of her clothing flattening his fur right down to its undercoat.
"Po, you know that I'm not all that good when it comes to emotions and stuff like that but don't you ever disobey any direct order that I give you ever again, you got that," Tigress growled in a half serious and half-tearful tone, lightly rubbing her cheek over the front of the panda's neck, "You can't even possibly begin to understand the gut wrenching pain I felt when I thought that cannon blast had killed you or how powerless I felt afterward. What were you doing there anyway, I distinctly remember telling you to stay behind, at the prison, where it was safer."
"I'm truly sorry for what ever pain I have caused you to experience, kitten, but I had questions about my past that only he could answer," Po answered honestly beginning to gently stroke his right paw over the tigers back before coming to the realization that he had let the rather affectionate pet name that he had for her slip forth and desperately hoped that she had not noticed it or else he just might be in for a serious beating thoroughly ruining the tender moment they were sharing.
"Well tell me, do you now have the answers you were seeking, my sweet Dragon Warrior?" Tigress asked briefly closing her glowing amber and yellow eyes as she felt the material of her silk clothing sag under her secret loves finger tips as he lovingly petted her, "Oh and before you answer that question Po, I'm quite comfortable with you calling me ,kitten, if you would rather use it instead of my proper name when it's just the two of us, like it is now."
"Yes, I did, kitten, yes I did," Po said soothingly as the felines purr began to increase in volume, "Now what do you say get back to the Golden Dragon Inn, before the others and especially Shifu notice that our beds are empty."
"Truthfully, I would rather spent what remains of this night with only you, my love, in one of the smaller Inns that I passed on my way here," Tigress growled seductively running the end of her tail over the back of the panda's legs, "After everything that you and I have been through during these last twenty-four hours, I think that we have more than earned a little alone time, away from the rest of the Five and especially my Baba, besides I have something special that I would like to give you."
"Do you now, kitten, and just might that be?" Po asked in a deep husky voice that he knew all to well, made the feline go weak in the knees.
"Oh, trust me you'll thoroughly enjoy it that's for sure," Tigress growled breathlessly, feeling her fur stand up on its end in excitement at the tone that the panda had just used to address her, driving her wild with sensual desires as the tightly barred gates that had previously kept her penned up hormones at bay, where powerfully kicked open by her womanly side, inwardly thrusting the female tiger from clam and collected to sexual wild, just begging to be tamed by her secret panda lover, "Now come on, I saw a nice little out-of-the-way Inn, that will fit our needs purrfectly not to far from here."
"Led on, my lovely kitten," Po said sliding his right paw back to its original spot upon the tiger's lower back and lightly interlocking their fingers together.
Slightly pulling away from the panda, Tigress teasingly licking her tongue over the front of Po's neck before pulling him into a deep passionate kiss. Happily growling as they broke apart, a few moments later, the tiger slowly removed her paws from around the dragon warriors' neck, relishing the feel of his fluffy fur as it slid underneath to supple pads of her paws. Slipping her right paw inside of his left and intertwining their fingers together, gently guided the two of them toward the nearby Inn she had mentioned. Turning down a side street, fifteen minutes later, the feline giggled cutely as they come to a stop outside of the plain façade of an Inn half way down it, the Inn's only marking was a sign that hung from a wall mounted bracket and in raised scrolling lettering read, The Cherry Blossom Inn. Unlocking her fingers from Po's, Tigress stepped forward and knocked on the door before snuggling up against the panda's side once again and waiting for her knock to be answered.
Ramping up her just barely controlled promiscuity when the light from a lantern could be seen peeking out from under the bottom edge of the heavy wooden front door, a few minutes later, and the irate owner partly opened it to see whom would be out at this late hour especially when Stuart's Croc and Ox had put a city-wide curfew into effect. Holding up the lantern that hung from the short bamboo pole he held in his right paw, casting its warm glow over the two now lightly nuzzling kung fu warriors, the male vulpine owner of Inn softly smiled and getting their attention by rising his free paw to his snout and clearing his throat loudly, motioned for them to come inside before someone saw the two of them. Transferring the lantern from the pole he previously had it on, to the simple four-legged stand that sat on the corner of the front desk, a few moments later, the russet fox casually slipped his left paw underneath his snout while he lightly drummed the fingers of the other upon the desk top and smiled at the two warriors that stood before him.
"When I heard a knock at my door at such a late hour especially when a curfew is in effect, I never thought it would be Master Tigress, Legendary warrior and fearless leader of the Furious Five, and the mighty Dragon Warrior, savior of our fair city," the russet fox commented in a slightly amused tone as he slowly cast his yellow and black eyes over the two of them and noticing that they were holding paws, pieced the puzzle together easily, "My name is Dewei by the way, how my I be of service to you."
"We were wondering if you had any rooms available, just for tonight," Tigress hissed not finding the deep red foxes tone even the slightest bit amusing, especially not when it got in the way of the fun she had planed for the of them to enjoy that evening, "It wouldn't even have to be very big, we're just looking for a place to lay our heads until the morning.'
"I am no fool Master Tigress, I have a pretty good idea why both of you are here standing before me tonight and know that sleep is the last of things on your minds, especially your's in particular, young lady," Dewei said mischievously grinning at the lovelorn panda and tiger that stood before him, "But I think that I could find suitable accommodations for the two of you, if you would just give me a few moments to check the ledger, to see what my wife and I have left available."
Ducking behind the front desk, a few moments later, Dewei reappeared and placing a rich leather-bound ledger upon the desk top, opened it to the ribbon that marked the days date and lightly ran the fingers of his right paw over the page to see if there were any vacant rooms. Fortune appeared to have smiled upon the two warriors because as the russet foxes paw neared the bottom of the page, he found that there was only one available room left in the Inn. Briefly snickering at the flustered response the panda and tiger gave him, when he asked them what name that he should put down in the ledger, a few minutes later, Dewei marked off the guest name box area with an "x" before wiping the extra ink off the brush on the lip of the ink well and after cleaning it, set it aside to dry. Picking up the short two foot bamboo pole, that he first had the paper lantern on to see whom it was that was knocking upon the front doors of his small eight room Inn, the russet fox was just about to place the lantern back in the grooved end of the bamboo pole, when a female voice drifted down the staircase that led to the owners quarters on the upper floor of the two-story building.
"Dewei, what's taking you so long," said the mysterious female voice in a clearly annoyed tone as its owner drew closer toward the partly opened doorway to the right of the front desk, "Just tell who ever it is to go away and come back at a more reasonable hour, don't they know the Stuart's have put a curfew in effect."
"I don't see the harm in letting them stay the night, after everything that they have done for us and the City its the least we could do," Dewei answered the approaching female voice reassuringly, "Go back to bed Lian, as soon as I am finished here, I'll lock back up and join you. There's really no need for you to come downstairs, my love."
"Stop making excues, Dewei, really, how hard is it, to just look this riff-raff in the face and tell them that we'r…" the female voice fell silent as its owner pushed the door at the bottom of the staircase fully open and the vixen's yellow and black eyes fell upon the panda and tiger that stood in the reception area, holding paws, "Master Tigress, Dragon Warrior, please forgive me I had no idea it was, you two whom knocked at our Inn's door. My name is Lian, how may we be of service to you."
"It's us whom should be apologizing to you, Lian, we were the ones who disrupted you and your husband at this unusually late hour,' Tigress said warmly at the auburn vixen, whom wore in a white silk house coat, that held on to the side of the door frame with one paw while she was supporting her lower back with the other and could see why, she was pregnant and looked like she wasn't far from her due date judging by the size of her belly, "Congratulations, how long it is until your due?"
"A week maybe two," Lian said grimacing slightly as she felt some of the young she carried kick unexpectedly, "I recognize that look in your eyes, Master Tigress, it's the look of a young woman in love and a feline lost in the passionate throw's of heat."
"If you two would excuse me, for a few minutes," Dewei said placing the bamboo pole down on the desk top and walking over toward where his wife stood in the doorway, "I'm just going the get, my lovely wife, settled back in our bed and then I'll be right back, to show you two to your room, ok."
Nodding their heads agreeably, the two warriors were eager to further explore the new feelings that both were feeling but didn't mind having to wait a bit, if anything it only made them even more excitable. Gently wrapping an arm around the waist of his pregnant wife, the heavily pheromone laden air about the panda and tiger did not go unnoticed by him or his wife and knew that he had better show the two of them to their room, before they got down to it right there in the reception area . Stepping back into the reception area, five minutes later, Dewei took the lantern off the stand on the corner of the front desk and fitting it into the notched end of the bamboo pole that lay upon its top, led Po and Tigress down the corridor to the left toward their room for the night. Stopping outside of the double doors as they reached the end of the corridor, the russet fox motioned for them to enter with his free left paw. Following behind the two warriors as they slid the doors to the room open and stepped inside, a few moments later, Dewei showed them where the futon as well as it sheets were stored in the rooms large closet before thanking them for there business and bowing his head slightly toward the panda and tiger, turned around and walked out of the room, leaving the two of them alone. After sliding the doors closed behind the vulpine Inn keeper, Tigress went to help her secret lover with the futon.
Gently pushing Po backwards on to the futon after they had gotten it all fixed up, five minutes later, Tigress resigned fully into her heat and pounced on top of him, pinning his paws to the futon beneath them with her own. Purring as she rubbed her chest over his, the tiger lustful rubbed her muzzle over the front of the panda's neck and teasingly licked her tongue over the underside of his chin, before finally planting a deep sensuous kiss upon his lips. Returning the kiss with one of his own, matching the felines intensity, Po felt his secret lover lick her tongue over his lips, seductively begging for entrance. Parting his lips, a few moments later, the panda and tiger both slipped their tongues into the others mouth. Tasting one another's palate as their tongues danced around the others mouth, the two warriors sank even deeper in to lust and passion;Tigress was pleasantly surprised to discover that her secret lover tasted wonderfully like peaches, the exact peaches that grew on the Peach tree of Heavenly Wisdom, while Po was equally pleased to learn that his secret lover tasted wonderfully like vanilla with a subtle undertone of lavender. Rubbing her nose over his as they broke apart for air both panting slightly from nearly passing out, from her crouched position upon Po's waist, Tigress felt his shorts begin to tighten.
"It looks like you ready to unwrap your present, my sweet dumpling," Tigress breathed seductively, now rubbing her cheek over his while she softly spoke into his right ear, "Which is a good thing too cause I am your present but if you want to receive the special surprise that I have for you, then you'll just have to unwrap me."
"Kitten, unless I am dreaming which I seriously doubt I am and don't get me wrong I would love to do that and a lot more to you, it just sounded as though you wanted the two of us to make it official that we're lovers," Po said in a hushed tone just loud enough for the tiger that tenderly pinned him to hear.
"Good, than I take it that you and I have an understanding then, my sweet panda," Tigress growled playfully rubbing her nose over his as she re-positioned her head, "And I know that you want to do this just as badly as I do by your body language, so why shouldn't we physically express how much we care about one another. I mean we're practically dating and spend so much time alone together already as it is, that the rest of the Five have taken to calling us, Romeo and Juliet behind our backs."
"Romeo and Juliet?" Po slowly repeated trying to remember where he had heard those two names before and then it hit him, "Weren't they the two star-crossed lovers in some play written by an English poet, whom ultimately ended up dying together in the end because their families wouldn't allow them to be together in life."
"That's about the gist of it, my sweet warrior," Tigress growled continuing to rub her nose over his teasingly as the iridescent flames of lust and passion danced in the yellows of her eyes behind her amber irises, "I love you, Po Ping, and want to spend the rest of my life with you and only you. After tonight I shall be yours and yours alone for the rest of our lives, we can worry about the dating thing when we get back home but at least for tonight we can be the lovers we both long to be."
"Tigress, I love you too but don't you think you're rushing things a bit," Po said noticing the dancing flames of lust and passion that filled the eyes of the feline whom was staring deeply into his own while she lightly nuzzled him, "I mean sure we have gotten to know one another pretty well over these past three years, I would even go so far as to call us reluctant lovers but do you really think we're ready to take that next big step in our relationship and make it official."
"Darling, I don't think anyone can ever truly be prepared for everything that life throws their way, I should know I've tried to live that way all my life. Always trying to be prefect at everything I do, training until I could no longer fell any pain in my paws by punching Ironwood tress for example" Tigress said ceasing her loving actions but not breaking the deep stare that she held with the panda she dearly loved, "But when it really comes right down to it, life isn't about the destination, what every it maybe but the journey one goes through to get there. I am well aware of all the risks involved in doing this, especially since I'm in heat right now but there are two things that I know in my heart to be true. One, that I love you with all my heart and know that you would never do anything to break it, and second, I know that we can face anything, as long as were together."
"I think I've just fallen even deeper in love with you, kitten, if that's even remotely possible," Po said flashing the tiger above him, his trademark goofing grin making the feline smile cutely back in response, "Now remind me again, just where were we before this conversation started."
"I believe that you were just about to begin unwrapping me, my love," Tigress growled returning to her seductive tone from a few minutes earlier, "Now shut up and kiss me, my sweet Dragon Warrior."
Leaning toward one another slightly, the two warrior's lips met in a tender yet lustful passionate kiss and with that, Po finally caved to the lustful desires that he held for the feline whom was sensuously kissing him, about to live out one of his fan boy fantasy's for real. Growling happily as they broke apart, a few moments later, Tigress released Po's paws as she leaned back into a straddling position upon his waist, the feisty feline smiled mischievously down at the panda she dearly loved before running her paws down the front her red silk vest, undoing its cloth buttons as their fingers traveled down its front. Casually tossing the garment aside, a few moments later, the feline closed her glowing eyes and blissfully purred as Po began to gently stroke his paws over the freshly exposed areas of silken fur driving her even deeper into the passionate throws of heat as he did so. Arching her back slightly as her lovers paws slid from her flanks and teasingly massaged them over her linen bound breast before slowly raking them down the front of her chest. Flashing her panda lover a warm loving sideways smile as she slowly opened her eyes partially and watched as Po slid his paws teasingly over the tops of her thighs before slipping them over their sides and beginning to circle them back up her scantily clad torso.
I think that I have captured Tigress' complicated personality better in this one, then I had in my first fic but you readers can be a better judge of that than I. As always I welcome all opinions. Plz R&R
