Don't Give Up
Ch 10
A/N Hey guys here's the next chapter. The song that Shifu is singing is something I just made up because his solo was stuck in my head and it's about how he feels about Naraka. I hope you enjoy.
Shifu saw that his Dragon Warrior was distracted while eating.
That bothered him.
"Are you okay Po?
You hardly touched the soup." He said to him.
"I'm fine Master. Just busy thinking, that's all." He replied to him sadly.
Leah saw tears in his eyes.
"Tigress must've got to him about Sha-kia.
That's not fair.
He and Sha-kia like each other." She thought as she finished her bowl.
Shifu watched as Po left along with Leah.
They were sitting under the second Sacred Peach tree of Heavenly Wisdom.
"Did Tigress bother you earlier about how you feel for her sister?
It's okay. You can tell me." She said to him.
Po nodded showing her his hand.
There were scratches over it and it looked sore.
"S-She did this to me when I tried to tell her how I feel for Sha-kia.
She doesn't understand.
Sha-kia is so awesome.
She gets me like nobody else ever did." He answered as tears fell.
Shifu sighed as he listened to him and Leah.
"So that's why he was distracted at dinner.
I must speak with Tigress and Sha-kia." He told himself as he sat by the moon pool and played his flute.
Inside of his heart, he was holding all the feelings he had for Naraka.
It then began to sing.
Why can't I
Tell her?
The way I feel inside?
Is it fear?
It's something more that I want to explore
But I'm afraid
Because the last time I loved anyone
It messed me up but maybe things can change.
In my heart of sadness
You are the only light
So please shine on me
Show me what it means to love
And help me let go
Let go…
Maybe I can have this
And not be worried
Or try to push things with
My foolish pride
Like before
In my heart of sadness
Shine on me
Help me believe
That I deserve Love
Deserve it.
But what if I change her
Mess her up?
Like Tai-Lung?
But maybe this is a second chance
In my heart of sadness
You are there giving me
The strength
To carry on
And now I'm not alone
Anymore.
He finished singing.
He then felt somebody beside him.
It was Naraka.
"…. I didn't know you were there." He said blushing but no answer as she kissed him.
"It's okay Shifu.
You're awesome." She replied to him.
Po smiled sadly watching them.
"They're just like Sha-kia and me." He thought sadly.
Shifu watched as Tigress approached him.
"You wanted to see me Master?" she said.
"Yes I did. It's about your sister and the Dragon Warrior." he began seeing tension in those amber eyes of hers.
"They don't belong together! Besides Sha-kia is meant to be my heir of the Tiger style of Kung Fu.
How am I supposed to let her be a Master when she's flirting with Po!" she yelled at him.
Her words were like a fierce wind cutting into his fur.
"She has plenty od time to be a good warrior but she needs this love and you know it too.
It's just you want to hold onto the illusion of control on her.
Like you with Tai-Lung." he told her.
"Yes Master. I understand." she replied leaving/
He sighed as Sha-kia sat beside him.
She looked worried.
"Don't worry child go to Po, be in love with him." he told her.
"B-But what about Tigress?" she said scared.
Shifu understood the powerful hold Tigress had on her.
"Don't worry it's okay." Shifu reassured her.
"Thanks Master. I'll go find him." she told him walking off...
Po was in his room sad and freaked out.
It was one in the morning and lightning kept him awake.
He then heard a knock on his door as Shakia walked in.
"Are you scaed of thinder?
Let me help.
It's alright. Shifu talked to my sister. We can be together again." she told him as she lay on the floor beside him as she wrapped her arms around him trying to make the fear go away.
"T-Thanks. Don't tell the others that I don't like thunder.
i... missed you." he whispered as they lay there in each other's presence...
But a pair of orange eyes watched angrily.
"Soon you'll be taken care of!" Tai-Lunng thought as he crept into Tigress's room...
