We now see his traumatic past of his parents' death and in Bao Gu Orphange and Musaki tells his side of the story in his POV. Gonna be sappy, and a little suckish.

Chapter 7: Past Revealed

Musaki went back to his dorm, along with Po, Shifu, Tigress, Crane, Monkey, Mantis and Viper, eager to tell them about his traumatic past as a kid. They all sat down, willing to hear about his story. He closed the door and everyone felt a little concerned about what's going through this kid.

"So, you're really opening up about your past?" asked Viper.

"I guess so."

"Tell us, Musaki." said Shifu.

Musaki sighed nervously and then cleared his throat, thinking that it's a long story. He then started to tell the story about his past, and how he quotes them as his past wound or scars that weren't healed.

"It started when I was pretty much 6 years old. It's just me, my mom and dad, just going to a cave, because we need to escape our home, because of boars, and that we needed a safe place to go. We spent a night in the cave, and it's very peaceful there. I remember my dad, looking at me, falling asleep and I ended up sleeping on the stomach. Just made me feel like he's there with me. Then, the next morning, my dad heard something coming for the cave and put me in my mom's side, which was a good reason, cause we're very close. And then, he overcame this fierce purple snow leopard by the name of Tai Lung."

The name struck in Shifu's mind, thinking that his 'son' would be the one that's involved in the story. He started to fear about what's coming, but wanted to hear more.

"He tried to convince my dad to give him to me, so he would kill me. They didn't want to happen, so he tried to kill my parents until he tried to get anywhere near me. We ended up in a cave and my dad just got beaten by this monster. However, I hid in a safe place where he couldn't see me. Unfortunately, he saw me coming out and tried to kill me, but my dad stopped him and continued to fight. Then, he grabbed my parents and climbed them to the highest and deepest part of the cave for not giving me to him. Then, he lets them go and they fell down 120 feet down the cave. After he was finished with them, he was about to do the same thing to me. I was so scared and was worried about myself and my parents that I was done for, but some rhinos stopped him and took him back to prison. I found my parents in this dark part of the cave and they didn't even move. They died several minutes ago and I felt as if a part of my family are gone and didn't come back. It was just..."

Musaki could feel the anguish and pain coming from telling the story and he paused, because there were tears coming from his eyes, like it's just too painful to reveal about it. He started over and said, "It was just so horrible for me, because how can a 6-year old endangered panda see his parents die? It was the most tragic day of my life."

Everyone was getting emotional about hearing Musaki's past and that it was something that he wanted to keep private. Po looked at him and said, "I didn't know.... that... it would affect you this much as it did."

He looked at Tigress, like she was understanding that Musaki said, and she regretted to endure a physical confrontation with him. She looked at him and said, "I'm sorry, Musaki. I-- I just... didn't know."

"It's okay. You just... didn't know." said Musaki.

"Is that why you didn't want to tell us about it?" asked Monkey.

Musaki nodded his head slowly and Monkey came up to him and gave him a big comforting hug. He embraced that hug and felt like it was having a big family coming to him again. Mantis asked, "Is that the whole story about your past, Lil' Saki?"

"Well, there's two parts of my story; one is my parent's death, like I just gave out my story, but part two of my past is my time in Bao Gu Orphange." Musaki answered.

Everyone wanted to hear about this story about Musaki being in Bao Gu Orphanage and he started to tell them about what's going on in the orphanage, knowing it's a sad and lonely time there.

"After my parents' death, I've been staying in the cave for 3 days, sulking in silence until some animals saw me lying down in the cave alone and saw my parents' dead bodies and realized that they're dead. All I remember is that they picked me up in the cave and ended up in a dark room in the orphanage. I woke up one day and I was a ceiling, a window, a bed and a door, knowing that I was home, but I saw some other kids there and I asked someone where I am and they told me that I'm in an orphanage. I was in a state of depression while coping with my parents gone and when I try to make friends, most of the kids gave me a hard time, simply because I'm a panda. All they do is tease and taunt me most of the time, and I stayed in my room, just to get away from everything. Since I was sitting alone in my dark room, no one came to adopt me, because no one would find me to take me in, so I felt like I couldn't trust anyone who would take me in. I was in isolation from 6 years of age to 12 years old. I didn't want to face more orphans tauting me because I'm a panda, because of how I look, how I sound and whatnot. So, I just didn't trust anyone."

"You mean, you've been alone in the orphanage and didn't even want anyone to see you?" asked Po.

"Pretty much, yeah." said Musaki.

Tigress felt like she understands where he's coming from, to be isolated from everyone else in the orphanage, to be different from everyone else. She told him, "Your story just touched my heart, because I've been in my room for so long."

"You? Cooped in your room? You're joshing." Musaki said.

"No, it's true. She was alone in her room, when I first met her. I wanted to help her out and then, adopted her as my own." said Shifu.

"I didn't know that."

"So, what happened?" asked Crane.

"I came out of my room when I was 12 and I really tried hard to make new friends, but some of them were adopted, other didn't want anything to do with me, so I sat in some areas, where I was away from everyone else because I didn't want anything to do with them, but that changed when I made friends to 6 different animals. We've been good friends and it felt like I've gotten back to my childhood again. A year later, a few pandas came in the orphange to find a place where I can have a big family and they took me to here, so here I am."

"Wow. You've been through a lot, haven't you?" asked Viper.

"Yes, I have. I was afraid that I wouldn't trust all you guys the same way as most kids in the orphange mistrust me." said Musaki.

"Well, you know you can always count on us and you can trust us." said Crane.

"Thanks, guys."

"We're gonna make you feel like you're part of the family and we promise we'll do anything to make you feel like it." said Shifu.

"Thanks. That really means a lot to me. I'm grateful to find a family so caring, compassionate and understanding."

"It's what we do." said Po.

So bittersweet, isn't it? Maybe I've overdone it a bit, don't y'all think?
