Chapter 9
The following morning, everything was peaceful. The villagers woke as normal and continued about their daily activities, uninterrupted by anyone. The shop owners opened as usual, children played in the streets, and the cart venders began their usual routes through the village, selling their various merchandise. It was the embodiment of peace.
Up at the Palace, things were equally peaceful. There was no gong, the staff had not yet arrived, and the two sole warriors within were enjoying blissful slumber.
Tigress was the first to awake. After years of training, her body had an almost natural clock, always awakening at around the same time. When she awakened, her eyes slowly fluttered open, revealing a seen that made her blush wildly.
She found that in her sleep, she had rolled over and embraced her fellow warrior in a powerful hug, snuggling up to his warm body. She had rested her head against his chest. His head was resting atop hers, also having turned in his sleep and embracing her in a hug as well, his strong and comforting arms were wrapped around her slender figure.
Tigress soon noticed that her tail had wrapped around his waist, coming back around to wrap around her waist as well, pulling them together tightly. His tail, longer and more powerful, had seemed to have done the same, subconsciously pulling the tiger against his body. Tigress noticed that her heart, which had previously remained beating quickly when she was around him, had slowed to a steady pace. Tigress, realizing that she enjoyed their embrace, settled into the hug, purring lightly.
After a few minutes, Tigress raised her head, gazing at Josh's face. He was still asleep, a small smile gracing his lips. Tigress starred into his face, the world outside nonexistent. Slowly, without any thought of what she was doing, Tigress leaned forward and placed a gentle kiss on his lips.
Tigress' movement had unknowingly awakened Josh from his slumber. Feeling her lips against his, Josh slowly and unconsciously deepened the kiss, pulling her closer to him. Tigress, feeling the pull, further deepened their kiss, placing her arms around his neck, Josh placing his arms around her waist.
They continued this until Tigress, realizing what they were doing, quickly pulled away, her blush now clearly visible, despite her orange fur. Tigress quickly sat up, apologizing for her actions. "I sorry, Josh. Please forgive me. I don't know what came over me." said Tigress quickly, her embarrassment evident in her voice. She was expecting Josh to coldly express his feelings, scolding her for her actions. But, to her surprise, Josh did the opposite of what she was expecting.
Josh slowly sat up behind her and embraced her in a gentle warming hug, steadying the Tiger Master's rapidly beating heart. "Its alright, Tigress. You don't need to be sorry for it. Honestly, I quite enjoyed it." His response had left her shocked, amazed that anyone could love her. Her whole life, everyone had treated her with respect for her Kung Fu abilities, but at the same time, she knew that she was feared for those same abilities.
"Y-You did?" she asked nervously with fear in her voice. Out of all of the things that she had faced - deadly assassins, murderous bandits, and evil warlords - she always feared rejection more than anything. It was because of this that she had created a cold, external shell, trying to block all emotion out. She never wanted to feel the same rejection she felt when she was at the orphanage, being treated as a monster.
"Of coarse I did, Tigress. Why wouldn't I?" he questioned, never releasing her from his embrace. Tigress turned around to look at him, her eyes filed with disbelief.
"Because you barely know me. You don't know anything about me and then you wake up to me kissing you. You should be furious at me." she said sadly, tears forming in her eyes as she looked down towards the ground.
Josh lifted her head to where her eyes were level with his. Her amber eyes gazed into his green and blue ones, which starred deeply into her own eyes. "Tigress, I am not mad. I'm actually very happy. Happy that someone as beautiful as you would ever even think that way about me." said as he dried the tears that were streaming down her face.
"You think I'm beautiful?" she said, almost to herself. She couldn't believe it, someone thought that she was beautiful.
"Tigress, you're not only beautiful. You're beautiful, kind, strong, independent, have amazing eyes, and you don't care what others think about you. Tigress, I could not think of a more amazing and breathtaking woman. You are perfect."
Tigress then did something Josh never thought she would do. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him into a deep and passionate kiss. Josh, after recovering from his initial shock, quickly return the kiss with equal passion and heat, wrapping his arms around her waist. They held this embrace until they needed to breathe. Slowly, they pulled apart and Tigress rested her head against his chest as he rested his head atop her own, still embracing each other lovingly.
After holding each other for another few moments, Tigress broke the silence. "Josh, I have never been good with expressing myself, so I'm just going to say it."
"Say what, Tigress?"
"I-I love you." she said softly. Josh pulled her head up and placed a soft and gentle kiss on her lips and said, "I love you too, Tigress." hearing this, Tigress wrapped her arms tightly around him, never wanting to let go. He returned the hug and they remained like this for what seemed like hours, just enjoying the presence of the one they loved.
After what seemed like an eternity, Tigress asked, "Josh, can we continue my training?"
"Ha ha, of coarse Tigress, let's go outside."
With Shifu and the others
Shifu was outside, sitting beneath a tree, meditating. Since the arrival of Masters Ox, Croc, Rhino, Ju, Jiu Han, Chow, and Mei Ling, there had been very little trouble from bandits. All-in-all, everything was very peaceful in the Musicians Village. So peaceful, in-fact, that many of the Masters had found time to enjoy each others company. Monkey and Jiu Han were taking a walk through the village, obviously having formed a relationship, though they denied it. Crane and Mei Ling had also been spending a lot of time together, even having what they called 'just friendly dinner dates'. Even Viper and Mantis were getting along relatively more than before.
Shifu chuckled at this thought, but also was worried. He had taught his students well over the years, but never about relationships with others. He was, however, certain that they would take things slow and be careful should their relationships progress farther than 'friends'.
Shifu continued his meditation, his train-of-thought focusing on Tigress. Though she was his daughter by adoption, she was still his daughter and he loved her like any father would. Though he may never show it, he loved her deeply and was always worried about her.
As he meditated, he could feel Tigress though the energy of the universe, despite her being a hundred miles away. As he meditated, he felt something odd about Tigress' chi. Whenever he had meditated before, her chi had always been unbalance and in turmoil. Now, however, her chi was balanced and at peace. Shifu could only wonder what had happened to cause this change, but he was happy that Tigress was at peace.
As Shifu was pondering this, Master Oogway approached Shifu. "How are you doing tonight, my friend." question the old turtle as he sat next to Shifu.
"I am doing just fine Master." replied the small red-panda, a small frown on his face.
"Are you certain? You seem troubled. What is bothering you?" inquired Oogway.
"*Sigh* Actually Master, I am worried."
"What seems to be the cause of this worry that you are feeling?"
"Its Tigress. As I was meditating, I felt her chi. It felt... odd. Not like she was in danger, but more like she was... at peace. Like her chi was perfectly balanced. I don't know what could have brought about this change."
"Hmm, this is quite a puzzle that we have here, isn't it? What about the Dragon Warrior? Did feel his chi?" Shifu thought about this and decided that it was worth a shot. He meditated for a while, feeling for Josh's chi.
Once he finished his meditation, Oogway asked, "Well, what did you feel?"
"Master, what I felt was unusual. The Dragon Warrior's chi, it was... strange. It felt powerful, but also caged. I can't help but worry about them. What will happen to them?" asked Shifu, growing more concerned each second.
"Calm your soul, Shifu. There is a say: The past is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift, that's why it is called the present." Before Shifu could say anything else, Oogway stood up and walked back to the Musicians Village, leaving a confused Shifu sitting.
"*Sigh* Just be careful, my students." Thought Shifu and,with that, he too stood and walked back to the village.
At the Jade Palace (Court Yard)
"Alright Tigress, time for your next lesson." said Josh, smiling at Tigress who was eager to learn the next lesson.
"Might I ask what it is?" she questioned, wanting to be aware for what was in store for her.
"To put it simply: flight." he answered, causing her to look at him ind disbelief.
"A-Are you serious?" she asked, not able to believe his answer. Josh simply nodded his head and, with a smirk, began to float off of the ground. Tigress gazed at him in amazement as he float nearly twenty feet from the ground. "How do I learn to fly?" she asked as floated back down, landing on his left then right foot.
"Do you remember lesson number one?"
"Yes. How could I forget?" she answered.
"Alright just focus all of your energy, but this time, focus it in your feet." he said. Tigress quickly did as she was instructed and focused her energy.
"What's next?" she questioned.
"Now, begin to use the energy to 'push' yourself upwards." Tigress did as this, pushing upwards. She focused for several minutes and, just as she hoped, she began to float. She quickly realized that, once she was off the ground, it was quite easy to increase her height and move around through the air.
"Tigress, you're doing it! I can't tell you how happy I am."
"It's because I had a great teacher, one who looks pretty good too." Tigress said winking at him, causing him to blush.
"Ha ha, right." he said, rubbing the back of his head. "Now, why don't you practice moving around a little so you can get the hang of it. Just don't push yourself too far." he warned.
Tigress then began to move around. At first, she looked to be having some difficulty maneuvering, but she soon developed an effective technique of flight. She then began flying higher, adding more intricate movement to her flight pattern.
"Don't push yourself too hard just yet, Tigress." he added with concern as he watched his love climb higher into the sky.
"Don't worry, I won't." "Hmm, I wonder if I can use my ki blasts while flying?" Tigress thought to herself. Letting her curiosity, Tigress then began to charge a small ki blast in her palm.
Josh was watching her carefully, making sure she did nothing too dangerous. Tigress had flown quite high for her first time, certainly higher than Josh would have preferred. He had began to calm down, seeing how well she was managing to fly. This, however changed when he noticed what Tigress was doing. He only had time to yell, "TIGRESS, NO!".
The moment Tigress formed a crimson ball of energy in her palm, her energy faltered, causing her to fall. Making it worse was the fact that she had flown to a height that rendered it impossible for her to land safely. Tigress, abou to hit the ground, closed her eyes and waited for the impact.
Tigress felt herself hit something, but it was not the hard stone floor of the court yard. She opened her eyes and found that she was floating a mere seven feet above the ground. It was then she realized that Josh had caught her and, holding her in his arms, was slowly lowering them to the ground.
Once Josh had safely placed her back on the ground, Tigress quickly rapped her arms around him, Josh doing the same. After a moment of enjoying their embrace, Josh broke the hug and said, "I told you to be careful, Tigress. I wish you wouldn't scare me like that." he said with a laugh, kissing her cheek.
Tigress blushed, still not quite used to showing affection, but she returned the kiss. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I don't know what happened though. It was going fine then I just started falling." she said, slightly disappointed.
"It's alright Tigress, it wasn't your fault." he said, rubbing her back gently to comfort her.
"How do you know?" asked Tigress, wanting to know what went wrong.
"Well, you simply overtaxed your ki reserves, that's all." he answered, gaining a confused look from Tigress.
"Let me explain. Your body has a limited supply of ki at any one time. When you formed that energy ball earlier, you took away some of the ki that you were using to fly. Because you transferred that ki to your hands, you no longer had enough ki to continue your flight, which caused you to fall."
"But, you were able to do the same thing. How come I couldn't?"
"Because I have a larger ki supply than you, that's all." he replied.
"Is there someway that I can increase my ki supply?" asked Tigress, hopeful that she could become even stronger.
"Of coarse, you just need to train."
"What king of training do I need to perform?" she inquired, standing straight and filled resolve.
"Simple, just start using more and more of your ki. What way, when your ki replenishes, you will be able to hold more energy at one time." answered Josh.
"Alright, how do you suggest I do that?" inquired Tigress, eager to progress further.
"Well, I would suggest firing as many light ki blasts as possible. Then let your energy replenish and do it again, trying to surpass your previous maximum number." Josh said, rubbing his chin in thought.
"Alright, I will begin immediately."
"Actually, Tigress, I think that we should begin that training tomorrow." interjected Josh.
"Why?" questioned Tigress.
"Because you have already used a substantial amount of ki already. Besides, its getting quite late." he added, looking to the setting sun and back to his beloved Tigress.
"But, I really wanted to start training." she said sadly.
Josh put one hand on her shoulder, bringing her face look-up at his with his other hand. "I understand Tigress, but we will start first thing tomorrow. Now, what do you say we go inside and get cleaned-up. Then, I can cook us a nice little dinner and we can go to bed. Then, first thing in the morning, we will continue your training." When he was done speaking, he pulled her into a gentle kiss, which she gladly returned.
Tigress thought about what he said. He was right: Tigress was tired from her training, and she could use a bath. Plus she did feel hungry, so she decided that Josh was right. "Fine, but first thing tomorrow, we train till sunset." she said, gaining an amused chuckle from Josh.
"Fine, now let's go get cleaned up." with that they headed inside.
Inside the Jade Palace
Josh, having finished bathing first, had decided to head down to the village to pick up some ingredients for dinner, leaving Tigress alone. Tigress decided that this was an excellent time to bathe without any interruptions.

Tigress entered the bathing house, locking the door behind her. She then headed to the hot-springs, which were naturally heated, providing for an always perfect temperature. Tigress removed her vest and black pants, then, removing her chest-wrap, revealed her very gracious, DD-sized breasts.
She then slid into the warm, inviting water, letting the heat soothe her tightened muscles. After enjoying the comforting heat of the water, she slowly lifted herself out of the water, sitting on the side of the hot-springs. Tigress then reached for the cherry-blossom scented shampoo on the edge of the hot springs. After squeezing out a generous amount of shampoo, she began to lather her body.
She started at her ankles, first her left then right, working her way up each leg. Once she had a sufficient amount of shampoo on each leg, she reached for her bathing basket, which she kept on a hook on the nearest wall. Filling the basket with water from the spring, Tigress slowly poured the warm water over each of her striped legs, rinsing them of the bubbles and ant remaining filth.
Tigress then began to clean her arms, repeating the cleansing process. Once her arms were cleaned, she moved onto her chest. Tigress took a small amount of shampoo and began to lather her chest, the sight of which would have made even the most honorable of men blush from embarrassment. She slowly rubbed her bosom, the suds providing a slick feeling to her fingers as she rubbed the delicate, pink nubs on her breasts.
She then filled her bathing basket once again and brought it just above her beneath her chin, tilting it slightly to allow the basket to gentle pour its contents over her wondrous figure. The water slowly cascaded from her breasts, providing for a sensual waterfall effect. Once the suds had been completely rinsed from her fur, she moved onto the final step of her usual bathing routine.
She took a small amount of her cherry-blossom shampoo in her paw, examining it to make sure it was enough. Deciding it was adequate, she applied the slick substance to her mid-rift. Slowly, she rubbed it into her fur, working her way down her body. As she passed her sacred area, the tip of her finger lightly caressed her entrance. This caused Tigress to jerk suddenly.
Though she was a fully grown woman, Tigress had never really had any lewd thoughts involving anyone. She had never even pleasured herself before, instead she simply focused on her training. She had often heard muffled noises from her fellow warriors rooms, knowing what the cause was exactly, though she could never understand why they perform such actions... until now.
In just one instant, she had felt a sudden twinge of pleasure she had never felt before. What she still didn't understand was why she had felt it at all. She had often accidentally brushed her area when washed herself, but had never felt any pleasure. She decided that it was nothing and finished washing herself.
After she rinsed herself for a final time, she stood up and walked a few steps from the hot-springs. She then lowered herself onto all fours. Once on all fours, Tigress gave herself one shake to remove some of the water, her voluptuous breasts swaying back and forth.

Tigress then took a towel from a nearby rack and dried her body thoroughly, removing any remaining water from her body. She then dressed herself in new, clean clothes and headed to the palace, feeling somewhat hungry.
PALACE KITCHEN
Tigress entered the kitchen to a sight she had never expected. There on the table were two lit candles, rose petals scattered around their bases, adding a sweet scent to the room. She also saw two plates with silverware at either side of each plate. The plates were on opposite sides of the table, but placed directly in front of each other.
Tigress looked over to the stove and saw Josh working on some dish. She was unsure of what it was, but it smelled delicious. Josh, who was quickly chopping, stirring, and flipping various dishes, seemed unaware of the Tiger Masters presence.
Tigress slowly walked up behind her love and wrapped her arms around him. She was expecting him to jump slightly, but he did not, though she would have enjoyed startling him some. Instead he turned around slightly and gave Tigress a quick peck on the cheek, then going back to work on the food. "What are you preparing, my Dragon Warrior?" asked a curious Tigress.
"You'll know in just one minute, my love. Now go sit down, I'l' be there in one minute." he answered smiling at her.
Tigress went to the table and sat down to wait. After a minute's wait, Josh walked over to the table a served his hungry Tigress. Tigress looked at the food on her plate, letting out a shocked gasp. Though she had not expected Josh to prepare much, but she definitely never expected anything this extravagant. Josh had prepared sauteed mushrooms, a garden salad with light dressing, and grilled-chicken flavored tofu.
Josh noticed the look on her face and let out a small laugh. "I didn't know you could cook." was all she could say.
"Neither did I. Honestly, I was a little worried about cooking tonight."
"Why would you be worried?" inquired Tigress, turning her gaze to Josh.
"Because, I normally go-out to eat." he said pouring Tigress some water, then himself some as well.
"Why?" she asked again.
Josh rubbed the back of his head, an embarrassed blush appearing on his face. "Well, Let's just say... the last time I cooked, I was looking to buy a new house the next day." he answered chuckling. Tigress also chuckled at this. "Now, why don't we see if this is any good?" he asked, seating himself across from Tigress.
"Let's."
After they had finished their dinner, which was better than either of them had expected, they decided to retire for the night. Once they were standing in front of Tigress' door, Josh pulled her into a passionate kiss. He then released her and headed for his door.
"Where are you going?" asked a confused Tigress.
"I was going to bed. Why? Do you need anything?" he asked looking at her.
"I just thought you were going to sleep with me." she said, looking down blushing. Josh had never expected her answer, but he smiled, enjoying the fact that she was asking for them to sleep in the same bed. Josh walked over to her and kissed her, placing his hands on her hips, with Tigress wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Okay, Tigress." they then walked into their room to enjoy a peaceful night's sleep.
