-No POV-
After that time with Tigress, Dai Lin thought getting space from her was healthy. His attire changed a bit. He wore a red tank toppish like shirt; it had a yin yang symbol on the right part of the chest. And he wore black training pants. Not much changed of him really. He still played girls every other day, but rarely ever brought them back to the palace anymore. He noticed Tigress was seeing Ade more. On the outside, he merely shook it off and went either back to training, or the current girl he had caught. Baited. For the next year, it was either training his ass off, or being with his prey. As for him and Tigress, they shared small conversations. Never really looking in each other's eyes. They didn't know what to do with each other. All he could do was trust Ade with her. And that alone was difficult enough.
-Mistakes Come in Many forms-
-Tigress: 17-
-Dai Lin: 18-
-Dai Lin's POV-
I walk through the town, embarking on my magical adventure of picking up some apples. Wow.
The street was pretty empty tonight, except in a lot of the restaurants that were pretty filled. Stores being the same way. I walk up to the fruit stand that's being run by bored goose. His face lights up when he sees me though. "Y-you're Dai Lin!" he says.
I smile and bow my head slightly. "Yes, I am. How did you know?"
"Who wouldn't know someone who saves them from bandits on a pretty much daily basis? Are you and Tigress good partners?"
I shrug my shoulders slightly. "Sort of. How much are the apples?"
He smiles and shakes his head, "No, no, no, it's on the house! It's the least I can do for a hero!"
I thank him and leave. A few minutes later, I notice Ade walking pretty fast past some of the storms. He had a strange suspicious face on. So what do I do?
I follow him. I jump on a building and travel that way. Hopping from one building to the next. I notice him stop, look around, and head down a dark ally. Ade was a grey cat. He looked pretty buff. Not as much as me of course. He was a pretty handsome cat. But not as much as I'm a handsome cat. Shut up, D you've got to focus. I watch him walk down the alley and up to a hooded figure. The say something I can't make out. The hooded figure nods and they both walk further into the alley. I get as close as I can, as quiet as I can. "Hello, Ade." a larger grey cat says. "Hello, father." Father? Alrighty then.
"What do you have in mind father…?"
"Well, son. I've noticed you've gained the trust of your girlfriend . "
"Yes, why?..."
He looks at Ade with dark eyes. "You know son, sacrifices were meant to be thought of, and acted on."
"Father-"
"You have to Ade. With her out of the way, it would be so easy to get to Shifu. Don't you agree Ade?" What the hell…
"…Yes, father. But to get to Tigress, we have to go through another as well. Dai Lin. A friendly roommate of hers. He seems crazy protective of her."
"…Is he strong, Ade?
"Quite." Ade's father rubs his chin. Sits down and slumps. "But so is Tigress father." Ade adds. His father slumping more in the bamboo chair. "Then we take him out."
"But dad-""No buts. Tigress needs to get out of the way of our goal. The Jade palace will be mine." I had enough. I couldn't stand hearing about this. I couldn't believe it. Talk of taking down Shifu, taking over the Jade palace. Talk of killing tigress… without hesitation or common sense, something forces me to jump down to confront. I take it in. This anger, it overwhelms me. I'm shaking now. "Who the hell are you?" Ade's father suddenly stands up and stares. "Father… This is Dai Lin." I the lose control of my body. That's when whatever took over me grabbed a hanging sword and decapitated Ade's father. It seemed to be happening to fast to Ade. Because he only did short glances between me and his father's headless body.
"Father…" He whispers. The he drops down to his knees. I walk up to him, eyes foggy, but sure of what exactly to do to him.
Then I did it.
-An hour later-
I buried the sword I had deep in an ironwood forest. I get on all fours and run to the palace. I'm washing my hands off in the restroom. I look up at the plain oval mirror. My eyes are now silver. With black tracing the outside of the silver. What the hell is going on? My blue eyes were now black and silver. I rub my eyes with warm water. The wouldn't go away. I placed the apples in the kitchen silently to not wake Tigress or Shifu, and then run to my room and probably get 2 hours of sleep.
-2 days later-
It's morning time. I walk to the kitchen; Shifu is waiting for us to begin training. I open the door to the kitchen, and see Tigress. Staring out of the window.
"I know you did it Daze."
I was silent. She looked at me.
"Killed Ade and his father."
Still silent. She shook her head and turned to look outside of the window. "Why." She said in a statement manner.
No weakness, Daze. "Because, I overheard them both talking about taking down Shifu and taking the palace for themselves." I say in a blank manner. I haven't stopped thinking about that moment when Ade just merely looked up at me, ready to take his punishment. He closed his eyes and received the pierce through his heart I gave him. "I'm sorry, Tigress."
She closed her eyes. Then they snapped back open, but still did not look in my direction.
"You could go to prison, Daze." Her eyes had a look I could not read. "You should already be in prison for killing Gin."
I remember. Apparently no one still hasn't found out about him. The investigation only lasted two months with Gin. I look at her. She had her arms crossed, her tail was low. She was right. I should be in prison. I look down at the ground. What can I do at this point? I look at her once more, she is looking down now. I then walk out of the kitchen to go train. I'll hide it. What no one knows, won't hurt them.
But Tigress knows.
Yaaaay. Another chapter. I'd like to thank you guys again for the good reviews and messages, I appreciate them a lot! Have a happy thanksgiving!
