Author's note:
Hey! Thanks for all of your reviews! ! Also, please don't hate Shifu I mean, I'm pretty mad at him too, but I guess you can say he is that type of father...uh, you'll see what I'm talking about later on, but meanwhile, ENJOY!
She was telling me about how she was adopted when she was 4 years old. How she had a talent in kung fu. How she eventually earned the tittle of Master. She was telling me all that while I observed her.
She had golden eyes, which in the dark I assume they glow orange. Those eyes were so fitting with her, they were captivating. Just like her. Her tail was orange and then as of the color melted away, it transformed into black and white. The markings in her face were so rare and unique. As if someone had taken ink and worked hours on giving her perfection. She didn't need make up, those markings were naturally beautiful.
Her eyes glowed with sparks when she talked about something she loved, like kung Fu. She then stopped and looked at me, I guess it was my turn to talk now..
Tigress's POV
I stopped talking and turned to him. We were both leaning into the Peach tree, both close to each other. Not that I was uncomfortable.
He started telling me about how his dad adopted him, how he also loved kung fu, but unlike me, he didn't practice it. He also told me how he was bullied when he was younger. And how his dad had a noodle shop and he worked in it every day.
"well, your soup tastes delicious" i said. He chuckled. He looked up and his eyes lit up. I assume he saw the peaches hanging from the tree. He turn to look at me, probably asking for my permission. I nodded with a smile on my face.
He started to quickly climb one of the branches, reaching towards the closest peaches he could grab. He took two, and when he came down again, he handed me one.
I smiled at him and started eating it.
Po's POV
I plucked some peaches and gave one to her. I didn't notice how late it was now. The sky was stating to get dark, since the sun was hiding itself in the forest. I glanced back at her.
"Its getting late. Here, I'll walk you home" I offered as I stood up and reach my hand out for her to take. She took one last bite to her fruit, then quickly wiped her hand on her pants. I chuckled, at least she wasn't the type of girl who made a big deal of dirty hands. She took my hand and pulled herself up.
We started walking back, hand on hand. She then started to rest her head in my shoulder. I smiled, I let go of her hand and wrapped my paw around her waist.
"You do know I live in the Jade Palace, right?" She asked me, her eyes peering into mine.
"Well. I kind of assumed that with you being a Kung fu master and all" I answered back. She laughed.
'Yeah, but there are a lot of stairs" I raised my eyebrow at her,
"And you think I can't take some stairs?" I challenged with a smirk. She smiled even wider.
"No, I'm just saying you don't have to go all the way to the top just for me, I can walk there" she said sweetly at me. I was right, now that it was dark, her eyes were glowing in an orange color.
"And I'm just saying that I want to go up there with you and there's no way around it" I said, gripping her waist a little bit tighter. Tigress narrowed her eyes.
"Fine, but if you get tired halfway there, I won't be carrying you up" she replied. I laughed, seriously, it can't be that bad. They were just a couple of stairs after all. And she does it every day, so there's no reason that I can't do it.
Tigress's POV
Ha. Very well, he wanted to climb up those stairs, fine. Can't say I didn't warn him. I mean, is not that I think he is out of shape or anything, but it took me years to get used to climbing the stairs without running out of breath, and he hasn't even tried it before.
But hey, at least I will get to spend more time with him. His hand was around my waist, and I was so close to him I could feel his fur brush against my chest. If this is what being in love felt like, then wanted to be like this forever. And I take back everything I said in my head about other girls.
We started walking up to the Jade Palace. I'm not sure if he called this is date or not, but if it was, i definitely wanted to do it again. I think it was kind of interesting how we went from being strangers to people who knew each other so well. It was almost as if we've been there our whole lives. I already found out so much about him and let me just say, I love every single aspect of his life.
We were less than halfway there when he started panting. He let go of me and put his hands on his knees, trying to catch some air. I punched him lightly on the arm.
"Told ya" he smiled at me and shoved me aside with a playful grin. He stood up,
"You won't get rid of me that easily" he told me. I pretended to be mad about it. Then we both laughed and kept making our way to the top. We stopped once in a while for a break.
Once we reached the top, we both stood in front of each other. The stars were already out. I looked at them.
"Aren't they amazing?" I asked him in a whisper.
"Not as much as you" I chuckled.
"That is one of the cheesiest things I've heard" he shrugged.
"But that doesn't make it false" i shook my head. He stepped closer to me.
"Wanna do this again?" He asked me, twiddling with his fingers. I took hold of his hands and his eyes met mine.
"I would love to" I said, my heart was beating faster by the second. He freed one of his paws and caressed my left cheek. His face was leaning closer into mine. I started closing my eyes. I could fee his warm breath against me. His lips were so close to mine.
"AHEM" No no no no! Po (what a great and simple name) stepped back. His hands went back to his sides. I also backed away.
"Hello Master Shifu" I grumbled. He just had to ruin my moment, didn't he? Po seemed to tense up. Shifu glared at me and then at Po. Po made eye contact with him and he bowed.
"Hello Master Shifu" he said, trying to keep his voice from trembling. A smile peeked out of my lips.
"Tigress, you are late. And who is that?" He said, his eyes were daggers, and they were directed towards Po. He didn't even try to hide his hatred.
"His name is Po" I answered.
"So he's the panda you were talking about?" He asked me. I could hear the snickers coming from Po. I blushed. Shifu assumed that the answer was yes. He then ordered me to go inside. I crossed my arms, but knew better than to disobey him.
I quickly turned to face Po. I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek,
"Tomorrow, at 6, same place" i whispered. And before Shifu could yell at me or at him, I ran inside the palace, the bag he returned to me was dangling from my side. Huh, I had already forgotten about it.
Po's POV
Once she left, I was left alone with him. Shifu seemed to hate me. And with passion. I loved that Tigress had the guts to give me a kiss even in front of her master, and I also liked that she wanted to go out with me again. I'm kind of confused though, she meant as in a date, right?
Shifu stood there glaring at me for a couple of minutes, while I shifted my weigth uncomfortably. He opened his mouth to say something when Oogway came out. I sighed in relief . I was sure my heart was gona stop beating.
"Hello Po Isn't it a little late for you to be here" he winked at me. And i smiled.
"Yeah. I should get going. So umm, good night! " I ran off. By the time I got home, I was panting. I was afraid to stop and getting caught by Master Shifu.
My dad greeted me with a glass of water,
"Po, are you ok?!" He asked me. I nodded. The water was refreshing my whole body. My dad was just waiting for an explanation.
"Her dad...he wanted to kill me" I managed to choke out. He just crossed his wings,
"Oh Po. You should have just talked to him. He is probably overprotective and-"
"Her dad is Master Shifu" my dad widen his eyes and started to understand why I did what I did. He nodded.
"Then its good you are back in one piece. You should go upstairs now, it's really late" I hug him good night and went to my room.
I laid in bed thinking about her. On how close I was to giving her a kiss, on how she gave me a kiss. On how our paws intertwined perfectly. How her head rested against my shoulder. I smiled. Suddenly, I found myself thinking on why Master Shifu was so against me. Huh. i guess it doesn't matter, it won't affect my relationship with Tigress.
Well, what did you thought of it? Liked it? Disliked Shifu? Well. I'll update soon! Leave your reviews!
-Peace out!:)
