"So you're the lucky guy huh?" teased Kaoru-san to Po. "So how did you do it? Wait. Don't answer that. Some dudes played matchmaker right?"

Po blushed and Stuttered," W-Well... I-Uh… Um… Yeah…" embarrassed that he didn't take the initiative to confess his feelings to Tigress. The warriors laughed. Kaoru-san groaned and laid down. Mantis checked on her and said, "I think that it's best if we let her rest. We'll get her later at dinner."

Everyone nodded and left the room. Tigress patted her friend's shoulder gently and left with the others. Kaoru-san curled up into a ball as memories of her past flowed back into her mind. The betrayals. The trust. The secrets hidden.

At dinnertime

Po was preparing his Secret Ingredient Soup for the gang and Kaoru-san. Shifu instructed Viper to fetch Kaoru-san but Tigress volunteered herself to do it and ran off.

When she saw Kaoru-san tossing and turning on the bed, she raced to her and tried to wake her up.

Kaoru-san's POV

I was in a battlefield. Fighting him. The Dragon Warrior and Furious Five were being pushed back by him. I tried to move but I couldn't. I was somehow paralysed. I could only watch in horror as my friends were attacked again and again. He picked Tigress by her neck and asked, "Oh Kaoru-san dear, come back to me and I'll spare your friends' lives." I didn't answer and he smirked. He strangled Tigress and I screamed. He walked towards me and…

Normal POV

"Kaoru-san!" Tigress screamed into her ear. Kaoru-san sat straight up and flipped Tigress onto the wall. "Ow…" Tigress groaned as she stood up. Kaoru-san muttered a sorry and tried to stand up but ended up stumbling. Tigress helped her up and brought her to the kitchen for dinner.

Back at the kitchen...

"Tigress? Took you long enough!" chuckled Monkey when he saw Tigress entering the kitchen. But he said that before he saw Kaoru-san limping beside her. The guys quickly pulled out a chair for her and served her her food.

"Um, guys? You don't have to be so nice to me. I don't deserve to be treated nicely." Kaoru-san quietly whispered to the group. "Why not?"

"I'm not a good person." Kaoru-san confessed. " I have a dark past, so dark that…"

"No, we like and trust you, no matter what." Po said, reassuring her.

Tigress patted her friend's back and signaled to the rest to eat their dinner. After dinner, Tigress and Viper accompanied Kaoru-san back to her 'room'. Kaoru-san laid down and bid her friends goodnight. Viper and Tigress walked back to their rooms.

"Hey Tigress, how did you know Kaoru-san?"

"Well, I met her at the Bao Gu orphanage…"
