Po hesitated as he arrived at the large double doors leading to the entrance hall. He had to go inside and face Tigress's rage alone. He gulped, and he felt a tiny piece of him die. His ears twitched, and he ducked to the floor just as a chunk of wood blew a giant hole through the training hall entrance. He winced as he felt a slight breeze from the wood narrowly missing his head. Internally, Po wolf whistled. Silas had royally outdone himself. They were going to have to replace EVERY piece of training equipment in there.

He sidestepped away from the door as another piece of wood whistled past him. That one almost broke his ribs. Gods. Tigress was dangerous and they weren't even in the same room…yet.

No use prolonging the inevitable.

With a sigh Po pushed the doors open and slid into the room.

The leader of the Furious Fived didn't even acknowledge his presence. She was too busy brutally murdering the wooden training posts in the room. Po watched-gaping as the wood splintered and the broken shards embedded themselves into the pads of her paws. Tiny droplets of blood hit the floor and Po stepped forward-more than a little concerned. Didn't she feel that?

He blinked as another wooden post met a graphic end. Apparently not.

The white tiger twitched uncertainly

How to approach this delicately? Tigress desperately needed to work off steam. If he asked her to spar there was a chance she would refuse. If she refused she was going to train on her own pushing well past the point of exhaustion, and they were going to find her passed out on the ground tomorrow bleeding puddles all over the floor. His eyes narrowed-there was only way.

Tigress was livid.

Her leg snapped up, cleanly breaking a wooden post in half. She didn't survive the fight with Tai Lung, and the battle with Shen to live imprisoned in marital hell. She slashed through another wooden post using the weight of her paw to crush it into dust. Silas was in some ways worse than Shen. He was a wealthy arrogant noble that only cared about himself, and felt like the whole damn world owed him something.

That put them at an impasse.

She snarled ferally-eyes narrowing into slits. She owed him nothing.

A soft sound distracted her from her rage, and she turned on her heel looking to see the source of the noise. If it was Silas-she was going to abbreviate his lifespan. There were NO witnesses. It would just be an immediate death. She paused, as her eyes met familiar green ones.

Po?

He had the Worst timing. She was contemplating murder. She opened her mouth to dismiss him, but was cut off as he lunged towards her. He rolled under her guard lashing out at her legs-intent on tripping flipped high into the air and used her back paws to kick-slamming Po into the ground. He yelped, and something primal inside her trembled in rage. Red seeped into her gaze.

She was done.

This had been a day from hell.

She was mentally exhausted-long past the point of coherency.

Tigress lunged at the white tiger who was leaning against a pillar wheezing. Time seemed to slow as she flew into a leaping tackle, with ease she slipped her paw behind his neck grabbing him by the scruff and throwing him roughly to the ground. Without pausing she jumped high into the air and rolled, twisting so she would land in a crouch on top of him.

When gravity brought her to the floorboards she landed heavily on all four paws on top of Po knocking the breath out of him. His eyes bulged, and he hissed in pain. Tigress felt oddly detached as if she was an outsider watching her body go on a rampage. She was completely numb.

"Tigress when you first started training me you said to never use my claws in battle unless I planned on killing my opponent. "

Po's cautious tone broke through her haze of anger. Tigress blinked uncomprehendingly. What was he talking about? The white tiger pointedly glanced down, and Tigress followed his gaze. Oh gods. She hastily stumbled back, releasing the white tiger. Her claws had been pricking the fur of his throat without her noticing. Her ears flattened against her head as a single drop of blood fell to the floor. Why did Po sit there and do nothing while she was having a psychological breakdown? She could have seriously hurt him.

Tigress stepped back, and leaned heavily against a pillar-her eyes closed in thought.

Why was he so stupid?

Her ears perked as the white tiger padded closer, and she felt Po' s concerned gaze burning against her fur.

"Tigress?"

The South China tiger remained silent and unmoving, leaning against the pillar, with a heavy heart she sank to the ground-eyes still closed, and tail lashing behind her. Why was Po still here? His presence severely annoyed her. She didn't want to deal with anyone right now…and yet at the same time she felt oddly warmed at his presence. She didn't have friends as a luxury when she was a cub. Instead she had cruel and manipulative acquaintances that made her life a living hell.

Silas especially…

"Tigress?"

She chuckled darkly lost in thought-and blatantly ignored Po's worried outburst.

"I remember one time when I was at Bao Gu, Silas was in town and he stabbed a blind boar in the eye with a spoon …for fun. That boar was furious beyond all reason, and it was far from helpless. Even though it was blind it's sense of smell worked just fine. Silas was able to temporarily outrun him though." Tigress wasn't even aware she had started talking or that her soft voice had entranced her audience of one as she reminisced. "Silas found me by myself and since I knew nothing about kung fu at the time he beat me into the ground, and then he ran off to god knows where. That boar tracked his scent but instead of finding Silas he found me. That boar couldn't tell the difference between the two scents and ended up attacking me. It was my first battle with someone larger than myself, and I lost miserably. That boar stabbed me in the stomach with his tusks."

Tigress absentmindedly touched her midsection.

"The scar is still there…"

She felt a nudge at her shoulder, and glanced around to see Po crouched down so he was eye level with Tigress his eyes were bright with merriment and the white tiger's whiskers twitched in amusement.

"So that's why you went crazy. This guy is a douche."

Tigress's anger ebbed away completely. Only Po.

Douche was a barbaric term…and yet it fit.

She chuckled.

"Hey Tigress what day is it?"

She blinked at the random question.

Day? Pfft. Forget the day. She had barely managed the morning. The day was completely irrelevant. Her ears flattened against her head, and her eyes narrowed. Viper had mentioned celebrating the defeat of Tai Lung so…."It's the 167th day of the year. Why?"

"Oh god."

Tigress watched amazed as Po lithely flipped to his feet landing on all fours and raced out of the room. He was a white blur as he disappeared through the training hall entrance. Okay. None of Po's odd quirks surprised her anymore but why did he race out of the room like that? Noodle drama maybe. She sighed and stretched shaking out her pelt. She might as well see what had the goofball so riled. It would give her something to do.

Po was sooooooooooo late. Late. Late. That important thing he did every year around this time. Yeah. He was beyond late for it. The white tiger exploded into the kitchen panting. Food. Something quick. Noodles, noodles fixed everything. Po rummaged around the kitchen pawing through boxes and checking the steaming cauldron, that had a soft fire burning beneath it. He blinked. Boiling water, but no soup?

Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. Shiz. Who ate the noodles?

"Po!"

He turned-still panicking and his eyes met amused scarlet ones as Tigress stalked into the kitchen whiskers twitching in amusement. Po blinked how did she get here so fast ? He had sprinted here. What the crap, and why was she laughing? He was having a mental breakdown. His noodles were missing! GAH!

"Po are you looking for your soup?"

His eyes narrowed, as he eyed her suspiciously. How did she…?

The South china tiger smiled knowingly and gestured behind him.

Po turned on his heel, and there at the table where the Five and him normally ate dinner together was a pot of steaming soup. His eye twitched.

That definitely was NOT there before.

"Po what's this all about? You're not seriously hungry are you?"

Well now that she mentioned it. He placed a paw on his stomach despairingly. He was starving. With all the activity in the palace, namely Silas's unwanted and unnecessary arrival he hadn't eaten in hours. Hours. He could almost taste the tangy noodles in the air, and his mouth began to moisten. So huuuuuuuuuuuungry.

NO. He had to focus.

"I'm kinda hungry, but the noodles aren't for me. Every year around this time I deliver some noodles to a friend of mine in town. This year I'm a couple of weeks late in delivering because I was kinda busy-"

"Saving China. I know I was there."

Po tensed warily as Tigress cut him off. He noticed her relaxed stance and the amused light in her eyes, and the white tiger forced himself to relax, and he stretched out loosening his tight muscles. She wasn't annoyed. That was good-a drastic improvement from the extremely hostile mood from earlier.

He reached out with one paw and loosely grabbed the pot of soup, before he forgot it…or decided to eat it.

"So um..yeah. I'm gonna go drop this off."

Po slid around the South China Tiger and edged towards the door. As he reached the entrance to the kitchen he paused as a thought struck him. He placed one paw against the door frame, and peered back over his shoulder at his fellow master.

"Wanna come with?"

Tigress's crimson eyes narrowed at him untrustingly.

Po smiled back innocently. If she hadn't said no yet, that meant she was considering it. A yes was inevitable. He waited patiently at the door smiling serenely tail swishing lazily behind him. As soon as he heard a soft almost inaudible sigh. He knew he had won.

Tigress was coming.

Seriously. Awesome.

"You are here to ask Tigress to be your mate?" Shifu glared at the arrogant snob disbelievingly. Who was this boy Viper had brought to him? Tigress didn't need this condescending bastard in her life. She deserved better. "Is Tigress aware of your intentions?"

The stranger smirked and Shifu resisted the urge to slam his smug face into the ground.

"Tigress knows of my intentions, and although she seemed displeased. She'll warm up to me. They always do."

Someone snorted from outside the door-Mantis from the sound of it.

Shifu's eye twitched. Had he ever MET Tigress? There was no way on gods green earth she would find such insolence attractive. Silas exemplified everything she loathed. He bought and sold people like it was nothing and although he was handsome and wealthy he was also a narcisstic prig. Everything Tigress had-her title as master, her home in the jade palace, her raw unparalleled power she worked for years to get. Hell would freeze over before this spoiled waste of fur had a chance with his daughter.

"Master Shifu, while I court Tigress, it would be easier for all involved if you provided me with a room here so I can see her more often."

Excuse me?

Shifu blinked. He had to be kidding.

The red panda stared disbelievingly at Silas's expectant expression. Okay he wasn't kidding.

Shifu opened his mouth to refuse, and then paused as a horrible realization hit him.

Oh gods no.

He couldn't refuse this request.

By law. Silas had the right to be there.

By law he had to accommodate him.

…

Ugh. This was going to be an absolute disaster for all involved. Silas's presence was going to severely test Tigress. This was one of those times he was immensely grateful that Po was here. Po was good at diffusing potentially violent situations. This situation might turn extremely violent in the near future.

Shifu sighed, ears drooping slightly.

He was too old for this.

"Very well, You have a right to be here." Shifu's leaned heavily on Oogway's staff-peering over the side at the tiger. "And Tigress has the right to refuse you. No matter what happens you will abide by her decision…" His eyes narrowed dangerously. "Or I will end you."

Silas chuckled and held his paws up in mock surrender.

"Sure you will. Thanks for the hospitality old man."

With that the tiger fluidly slid to his feet, and with one last condescending look the tiger stalked out of the room, in a flourish of blue and silver. As soon as the doors closed behind him all five of his students exploded into the room, wide eyed in shock.

"Master!"

Viper slithered up to him, coils tightened with tension. "Master Shifu. Why did you allow that inconsiderate jerk to stay here? Tigress hates him."

Mantis snorted. "Understatement of the year. Tigress hates incompetent people. She loathes this guy."

Monkey nodded sagely. "I give it a week. She'll kill him."

Shifu rolled his eyes and heaved a heavy sigh of exasperation. "I'm going to assume you were listening in at the door. Look students, For a long time now the tiger species has been dying out. In order to ensure the continuation of their species a council of the oldest remaining tigers was formed, and they created a series of laws to make sure the tiger line continues. These laws empower tiger males. One of them states that a female cannot turn away a potential mate. They have the right to refuse them, but unless the male leaves of his own free will a female cannot make him leave. "

Everyone gaped.

Tigress had no say because she was a female.

Silas was allowed to stay because of some sexist law.

It was sickening.

Crane flapped his wings in annoyance creating mini gusts of wind.

"Master isn't there anything we can do?"

Shifu paused, leaning forward on Oogway's staff and his eyes closed in thought.

"No. The council takes mating seriously and interference from us would hurt Tigress more than help her. Not to mention Silas is not someone we want to take lightly. He has powerful connections. There's a possibility he could use his political prowess to get what he wants... That's part of why Tigress was so infuriated earlier

Viper glared at the ground and twirled around, wrapping her coils into circles and then wrapping her tail protectively around herself.

Monkey sighed at the tense silence that followed Shifu's revelation and said what they were all thinking.

"Well this sucks."

R and R :)
