CHAPTER- 2: A REQUEST

SORRY, I WAS TOO BUSY WITH SCHOOL THIS WEEK, THAT'S WHY I UPDATED LATE.

HERE'S THE NEW CHAPTER! ENJOY!

Po and the Five were in the dining room with Woo. Po prepared his 'Secret Ingredient Soup'.

"This soup is totally awesome!" Woo appreciated.

"Yes, this is my dad's 'Secret Ingredient Soup'." Po said, smiling.

"This is really delicious." Woo replied.

"Hey Woo, I wanna know more about you? How Tigress taught you Kung Fu those years ago?" Po asked.

"Well," woo started and looked at Tigress, who gave a curious look. "I was just 6 years old when I came here to learn from her. Honestly, she was very strict when I arrived, because of… some reason."

"What reason?" Po asked.

"Not anything serious." Tigress said angrily. The four looked at each other worryingly. "He was a hopeless student to me." She said. "He was very much like you, Po. Always trying to snap out of his training, and always making mistakes." She said, giving a look at him, he had a shy look. "That's why I had to be strict with him. Soon, he started to understand the importance of training."

"Master Tigress, there's a lot change in your nature since I left. I mean, now you aren't so strict and stern as you were those year ago."

"Yeah, my inner peace has improved since Po came here." She said looking at Po and smiling, who smiled back at her.

"Hehe, right." Po chuckled. "Well Woo, how actually did you came here? I mean did your parents left you to here learn Kung Fu?" Po asked.

Woo sighed. "My parents were killed by assassins when I was 6 years old."

"Oh, I am really sorry, I didn't know that." Po apologized, regretting that he just reminded Woo his Decreased parents.

"It's okay." Woo replied.

Viper placed her tail on Woo's shoulder, "Woo's parents were familiar with Master Oogway. That's why he allowed Woo to stay in the Jade Place." Viper told. "He lived and trained here for 4 years. Those 4 years, Tigress looked after him."

"And after those 4 years?"

"After that, we were told that Woo has to leave and become a kung fu student at another kung fu temple." Viper told.

"But why?" Po asked.

"Shifu said that Tigress is still learning and she won't be able to focus on her own training if she continued training Woo." Viper told.

"Master Tigress had grown so attached to me that she didn't wanted me to go, neither had I." Woo said.

"Yes, I had started to like him and I didn't wanted him go." Tigress said truthfully.

"Woo, do you know Tigress didn't came out of her room for a week since you left." Mantis told, mockingly. "Seriously, we had to make her eat something, she wasn't coming out."

"Really." Woo replied. "Master Tigress, I need to tell you something. The main reason I came here." Woo said, his expression suddenly started getting disappointed.

"What is it?" She asked.

"It's about the Golden Spear." Woo answered.

"What Golden Spear?" Po asked.

"Po, the Golden Spear is a legendary weapon with magical powers. Master Oogway gifted me that when I first came to the Jade Palace. When Woo was about to leave, I gave it to him it as a farewell gift." Tigress told. "Woo, I hope you didn't lose it, because it's very precious." Tigress asked hopefully.

Woo closed his eyes regretfully. "I-I tried my best. I know it was my responsibility, but-" Woo was chocking at his words, getting scared that Tigress will be mad at him. "But I couldn't save it." Woo said as a tear came out of his eyes. Tigress wiped away the tear and cupped his cheek.

"Don't cry. Tell me what exactly happened." She said politely.

Woo sniffed. "His… His name was Kai-Lung."

"Tai-Lung?" Po asked, shocked.

"No, Kai Lung." Woo corrected. Po nodded. "I was on a mission. He attacked me and demanded the Golden Spear. I refused. He fought me for it, I fought valiantly but… I couldn't win." Woo told as he pulled up his right hand sleeve, there was a big scar.

"And what's the matter with this?" Tigress asked, looking at the scar.

"This happened while fighting him." He replied. "Look, I am terribly sorry I couldn't save the Golden Spear." Woo apologized. Tigress looked away.

"You know how precious it was to me?"

"I know, and I need a little help from you." Woo said.

"What help?" She asked.

"Can you… teach me the secret techniques of Kung Fu?" Woo asked hesitating. Tigress' eyes widened. "Please Master Tigress." Woo said and grabbed her hand. "Please, only you can help me."

Tigress looked at him seriously. "You think it's that easy."

"No, I know it isn't. But it's possible and the only way. I know it was my fault. I accept my mistake and I want to do something to get that spear back. Only you can help me this time. Please master, I have never asked for anything you, you had gave me everything I needed. but this time, you're the only one who can help me. Please Master, I beg you."

Tigress felt bad for him, but she was worried because she wasn't allowed to teach the Secret Techniques of Kung Fu to 'anyone'. But this was her student, she could trust him. But still, something was telling her not to teach him. She looked into his eyes, he was eager to hear her answer, his eyes begging her to say 'yes', his both paws tightly gripping her paw. She broke his grip and stood up. Without saying a word, she made her way to the door. Everyone was watching her going, silently. She stopped at the door, looked back with a blank expression and said, "We will talk about it later. Have some rest. Good night." And she left.

Woo sighed, he was expecting something else. Po patted his back softly.

"Don't worry, little buddy. She does this when she's confused." Po said.

Woo stood up with an irritated expression. "I know!"
