Two months post the fall of Lord Shen, Two particular Kung Fu masters have been happily enjoying their relationship, which had blossomed fiercely in the past two months.
It was winter now, snow befell the courtyard of the Jade Palace, painting it white with gentle sloping curves that started low; but climbed higher and higher as they meet the facades of the palace and palace gate. seasonal preparations and events were strongly in the works down in the village, while high in the wind swept mountains six Kung Fu masters were training, with their master away for the Kung Fu Masters Winter Festival Feast.
The Furious Five and The Dragon Warrior had remained posted- in case China suffered a blow from the dirty claws of injustice. The training hall was comfortable, kept warm by two fireplaces directly across from the other, projecting heat and warm light onto the gauntlets and rings, the tortoise bowl, and sparring area. Every corner of the hall seemed so warm and happy.
We'll get back to this moment in good time, just wait...
The two star crossed lovers had yet to experience a single argument, seemingly so happy and peaceful. The initial honey moon phase of their relationship was nothing short of tragic. Tragic that they could be so happy and no other love could ever hold a candle to their sparks and fireworks. The weather seemed to revolve around their emotions, nothing but tranquility.
Their feelings for each other had lingered and embedded into their hearts long before their coming together, though sadly, the root of that first confusion may project back onto their relationship in due time.
Po was everything you could ever want in a man. He cooked for her everyday, every meal, he did laundry and kept their newly commissioned home tidy, he treated Tigress daily to romanticisms such as flower pedals on the floor, and hot baths drawn for her at her convenience. He did anything and everything. Even if she didn't ask for it- she rarely had to. Picnics, fine gifts, she hadn't the slightest idea where it all came from- he seemed to have it delivered directly from his marvelous imagination. He was clean, tidy, but still Po.
He had fun with everyone, still pranking Monkey or Mantis occasionally, still going to Viper secretly, seeking advice on things woman like, so nice of him.
(at least Po thought he was being secretive)
He was training harder and longer, eating less and losing weight- which was quickly replaced with muscle. He wanted nothing more then to see Tigress happy.
But sadly his cure was her poison.
Tigress is a very specific feline. Not high maintenance, but specific. Tigress spent her childhood thinking she was a monster, her teenage years training non-stop, punching ironwood trees and closing out all emotions. She had nothing but that of which is physical.
Boom! She hits you. What does it mean?
She could be having fun, she could be mad, she could love you. It's a process Po hadn't quite figured out yet. But they loved each other anyway.
Tigress couldn't stand to be pampered. Not that she didn't enjoy it. She did, and everyone enjoyed a happy tiger. But she didn't know what to do. She couldn't preform the gestures of kindness Po so generously offered everyday. She couldn't arrange a picnic, buy him things.
He didn't want things.
He wanted her to be happy.
How to you repay someone for happiness?
Especially when all you have is you body!
Tigress was confused.
"How do I make Po happy! He does everything for me and I sit their like a... Like a... I just take it! It's not fair!"
She swatted at a wall, it ripped. Three perfect claw marks stroking horizontally across the waxy paper.
"Why does he do everything! In front of everyone! What if they think I'm using him... NO! I'm not using him, I love him! He's everything I ever wanted, he takes care of me, protect me, makes me feel safe..."
Tigress sat down on her bed, clutching a blanket between her paws. She was lost. She hadn't done this before.
"I could ask Viper... No way. She'd tell everyone! I need to do something..."
Tigress hatched a plan in her head. It was simple, not very complex. Involving a cloak, a few Yuen and an alibi.
