Chapter ten: Scrolls

The next morning, Tigress arose from the bed, wondering what happened to her partner who, presumably, was at her side. She left her room and walked the corridors, only to realize that no one is there. Thinking that this was another crazy dream, Tigress ran to the palace, where she immediately entered.

Fortunately, everyone was there, next to a mountain of scrolls. Po and the rest of the Furious Five seemed they would rather spend time training than reading scrolls, on the other hand, Master Shifu seemed interested in this activity, like a hobby, he was focused, determined to read... and read... and read to find the truth.

-I still don't know why we're doing this- Monkey complained, with eyestrain, and with a face that said he was bored

-Same- Mantis replied, feeling empathy for his partner

-Guys, we were told it was for a good cause, so we must continue working- Viper said, looking like a leader, as the boys continue reading

Po feels a presence, so he turns his head, and realizes that Tigress is there, standing without moving a muscle, waiting for a command or a word -Oh! you're here!, sorry if I left, Master Shifu woke us earlier so we could finish to look for "you know who" in the lists- he states, trying to explain his actions, his words attracted the attention of the rest of the Furious Five.

-Did he...saw Po beside me?- Tigress thought, she was aware of what happened the other night, and she wasn't worried, but she thought it would be strange for him (Master Shifu) to see two of his students sleeping together, in the end what came out of her mouth was something different: -Found something?- Tigress moved closer to Po, took a scroll from the mountain and opened it, revealing an almost endless list of names and data.

-Well... nothing...- Po answered, a little disappointed, with a hand rubbing his neck as a sign of shame.

A shout raised everyone's attention, it was Crane, who came out of the mountain of scrolls -This is ridiculous, no criminal in the lists resemble those descriptions that you have told us, Master- Crane said, already tired of searching without success.

-Yeah... we read the lists 2 times, and nothing- Mantis complains, thinking it was all a waste of time. Everyone stares to Master Shifu who, seeing reality and coming to a dead end, let his students go and do what they craved for a long time: train.

But not everyone left, only two students stayed with the Master: Po and Tigress. -We need more than simple descriptions ...- Master Shifu said, a little defeated, he had thought it would be easy to find that criminal.

There were long moments of silence, the three were thinking about something that might help until -Oh I know! the scroll!- Po said, turning his head towards Tigress -Do you still have it?- he asked -Wait ... what scroll?- Tigress responded, confused by the question.

-The scroll that has the story ... you know ... Where else would you get that story?- Po replied, he was staring at Tigress, he may have told Tigress's secret but seeing the circumstances ... there's no time to hide things.

-Po!-Tigress said almost screaming, implying something the poor Master Shifu couldn't understand -Can you tell me what are you talking about?- Shifu asked, desperated to know at least something.

So she began to tell: -Well ... long ago I found among my things a scroll containing a story ... that revealed many things about my past- When Tigress finished the sentence, Master Shifu, with disbelief, ordered them to be brought to the scroll, so they walked up to Tigress's room to find the scroll; it took several minutes, but when they found it, Master Shifu started to read.

-I had never seen this scroll, nor its contents- Shifu declared, he was surprised by the way they wrote the story, as if those events were real

But they had no time to think -Master, MASTER, there are bandits attacking the village- Viper came screaming for help

Tigress and Po exchanged glances, they knew it was time to act, then they turned to his master, who nodded with a frown in his face.

-Let's go- Tigress said, before rushing towards the valley with Po and the Furious Five
