Chapter 14

Po woke up about two and a half hours later to his stomach rumbling. He sat up and rested his paw on his belly as it roared again demanding some food. Po chuckled "Okay, okay, I hear ya." And with that Po quietly opened his door and headed for the kitchen. Once inside Po grabbed a bowl of left over noodles and two bean buns and he ate quickly. It was odd. He hadn't felt this hungry this early for such a long time. Probably since before he was named Dragon Warrior. It was extra weird because he had only just eaten dinner last night, and had those almond cookies too. Regardless he finished his meal and felt better.

After he cleaned up his mess he looked to the sky and was beginning to see the first signs that dawn was approaching. He figured he had about forty minutes before the gong sounded. He was tired but then he remembered only hours before about reading the scroll and learning about healing others with his Chi. Suddenly he wasn't worried about being tired anymore but rather fully awake as he headed back down the hall. Po stopped outside Tigress's door and knocked quietly whispering "Tigress… are you awake?" there was a moment of silence before the door opened and Tigress stood on the other end with her crutch in hand. Po noticed that she was in her normal training vest and pants this morning unlike the silk robe she was in last night. She whispered "Po? What are you doing up early?" Po was about to respond when Tigress snapped at him. "If you've come to make sure I can get dressed on my own as you can see I'm more than capable of managing!" Po was a bit taken aback and a bit hurt but he quickly just shook it off and smirked at her. Then he said in a cocky attitude. "Good for you Tigress, but that's not why I'm here. I just stopped by to see if you wanted me to make it so you could train today that's all…but if you don't want any help then I guess….WOAH!?" as Tigress reached for Po yanking him through her door closing it immediately and turning on him still grabbing her crutch.

She then asked him in a questioning tone yet still with a bit of desperation in her voice. "What do you mean you can make it so I can train today? If you could do that why didn't you fix my leg last night?" She said accusingly. Po rolled over from his stomach and rubbed his face. "Because, I didn't learn how until last night Tigress. It was in the scroll Shifu gave me. I was up most of the night studying and practicing how to use it on myself, see?" as Po showed her his paws that although were healed still showed evidence that there were once cuts there. Tigress stared in awe. Po claimed these cuts were made only a few hours ago yet they looked like they were old scars now.

Tigress then took her attention from his paws and looked at Po. "And you think you can fix my leg the same way?" Po smiled wide and nodded. "Yup I know I can." Tigress smiled and said "Okay, so what do we need?" Po stood up and walked her over to her bedroll. "Nothing, that's the beauty of it, I already got what we need as he placed his paw over his chest. As he sat Tigress down he began rolling her pant leg up and unwrapping her leg. "I don't understand Po…" Po's smile beamed at her as he spoke. "It's my Chi Tigress. I'm going to fix your leg with my Chi." Tigress just stared at him and asked "But how…" But Po silenced her as he struck her leg not hard enough to hurt her but hard enough to shatter the dry paste. "Tigress do you trust me?"

It was an honest question as they both looked at each other and Tigress pondered his question. Among all of the warriors at the Jade Palace Po, despite his momentary awkwardness was probably the one she would want most by her side in a fight. He was also the only one around who wasn't afraid to tell Tigress how it really was. Most others were afraid of Tigress and never wanted to upset or offend her. But Po challenged her and was never afraid to tell her what was on his mind whether to correct her or just to add his own opinion depending on whether he felt he was right or wrong, he never backed down to her. He saw her as an equal and she saw him the same way and thought there was no one she would rather have standing by her side in any scenario. Then there was the way he fought for her mere hours ago. how he rushed her to the palace. and how he practically bore his soul to her at the peach tree. So yes she trusted Po and told him just that. "I trust you Po…" Po smiled and positioned himself to get comfortable.

"Okay I'm going to take my time here to make sure I get this right." Tigress forced a laugh and said. "I should hope so." As Po placed his hands over her exposed leg and began concentrating. After a moment passed with nothing happening Tigress asked in an unimpressed tone. "Shouldn't something be happening?" Po frowned and said to her without opening his eyes. "Patience Tigress this takes a ton of focus." So Tigress folded her arms and remained silent. After another moment something did begin to happen. Po's hands began to glow a soft blueish glow and then Tigress felt something enter through her skin. "Po what's!?" But Po interrupted her"It's okay Tigress, that's my Chi, this is supposed to happen now hush and Trust me." Even though Tigress knew he wasn't looking she nodded her head and relaxed.

Po could feel Tigress relaxing as he was spreading his Chi throughout her leg. "That's it, if you relax this will go much smoother." Tigress relaxed a bit more and Po continued. Po was using his Chi like extensions of his mind as he prodded and examined every inch of Tigress's leg. Po dove through muscle so thick and hard from years of training until finally he found the first thing he was looking for. Po could sense with his Chi the first fracture in Tigress's leg and immediately he began focusing his Chi to repair the damage. Tigress could feel something happening again so she risked a question hoping not to break Po's concentration. "Po what are you doing right now?" Po didn't answer right away but he did answer. "I'm repairing the first fracture in your leg" Tigress couldn't believe it Po was actually fixing her fractured leg with his Chi! She remained quiet until she saw Po release a deep breath. "Phew first one fixed now for the next one." As Po began to slowly move his hands up Tigress's leg stopping just under her knee cap. "Here." Po declared as his Palms began to glow brighter again. Po's Chi was diving through her muscle again and Tigress tried her best to remain still but it was difficult. Po's Chis being inside her leg even though it was to help her felt like an invasion. THIS was why he asked her if she trusted him. He knew she would feel this way. But still she let him continue.

Po had found what he was looking for. The second fracture this one was a bit bigger and deeper that the first one. But nonetheless he pushed forward. He was beginning to get a bit tired. He was doing his best to not expend more Chi than he needed but He guessed he still needed practice. After he finished fusing her bone back together Po did a quick scan of Tigresses Leg making sure he didn't miss something. turns out there were three more fractures all significantly smaller ones and the process continued. After the last fracture was fused he then ceased using his Chi and collapsed onto his hands and knees. Gasping for breath.

"PO! Tigress asked as she leaped from her bedroll to his side. "Po are you alright!?" Po was still breathing hard. "Yeah….huff huff….guess…I need….more practice…" He said between breaths. Then Tigress asked him "Did it work?" Then Po sat up and looked her over. Then he spoke "You tell me." As he nodded his head toward her leg. Tigress noticed just the that she literally leaped to his side. She stood up and put weight on her leg. No pain. She jumped up and down. Still no pain. Then she did a few kicks in the air and smiled "It worked! Po you did it! You fixed my leg." As she tackled the panda to the ground. "Ow Tigress that hurts…." She got up and immediately helped him up. "Sorry Po, I don't know what came over me." As the panda stumbled forward. "Are you going to be okay?" Tigress asked in a concerned voice. "Yeah" Po replied "But man am I hungry again…." Tigress just rolled her eyes and went over to her table and tossed him an apple. Po quickly scarfed it down core and all. "Thanks Tigress. That technique really takes it out of me"

Tigress sat down next to Po and asked him "how does it affect you so much?" Po thought about it for a moment then he answered. "You know how when we train we're constantly using our chi even when we don't realize it?" Tigress nodded. "Well this is like that except you're using only your Chi! It's like running up and down a mountain in ten minutes flat." Then he corrected himself "Well, me running up and down a mountain in ten minutes flat." Tigress couldn't help but smile then she asked again "You're sure you're going to be okay?" Po smiled and nodded his head "I'll be fine now that I ate something." As he got up and bounced up and down. "See? Good as new"

Just then the morning gong sounded and out of reaction the two warriors rushed the door and both emerged from Tigress's room saying "Good Morning Master!" standing side by side. They noticed that everyone was staring at them in the hallway. Crane's mouth had dropped along with Monkeys and mantises. Even Master Shifu had a look of shock mixed with a bit of rage and confusion. And then, almost immediately they both realized how there sudden emergence from Tigress's bedroom together must have looked like to the others. It was Viper who spoke first. "Um Po…what were you doing in Tigress's room?" Then Shifu spoke with an annoyed tone. "Yes Po, What were you doing in Tigress's room!?" Po was beginning to sweat. They all had the completely wrong idea. Mantis then spoke up "I bet I know what happened heh heh" but was quickly silenced with a Death Glare from Shifu.

Po began to stutter. "Well you see, ummm….we were just uh….well…" Po was freaking out and Tigress knew it. He was completely caught off guard and couldn't even think straight, plus he seemed like he might still be a little winded from just fixing her leg, so she came to his rescue. "Po came to me this morning with a way to fix my leg."

Everyone turned their attention to Tigress as if Just noticing she was there. Viper spoke again. "Tigress!? How are you on your feet? And what do you mean Po fixed your leg!? What's going on!?" Master Shifu now relaxed his face and turned to Tigress. "You say Po fixed your fractured leg?" Tigress nodded "Yes master, it was truly remarkable. I've never seen such ancient techniques performed like that." Mantis spoke up next "What technique?" Everyone was staring at Po again then Master Shifu addressed him. "Po how much of that scroll did you read last night?" Po turned to his master and replied. "Well, quite a bit I guess. Maybe like a little more than half of it." Shifu's eyes went wide. Then he noticed the bags under Po's eyes. "Did you even sleep at all last night?" Po replied "A couple of hour's maybe. You know after I practiced some new healing techniques on myself." As Po showed Shifu his palms the red Panda couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"Po, are these fresh wounds?" Shifu asked him. By now everyone was gathered around Po to see the scars on his hands. Po answered. "Yeah I made the cuts last night to practice healing my own wounds with my Chi." That was what Shifu was looking for. "So you used your Chi to heal your wounds?" Po nodded his head. "And you used the same technique on Tigress's leg?" Po shook his head and said. "That's right master." Then Shifu bore his eyes into Po's "And what happened as a result Po?" Po looked at his master. "Tigress's leg is fixed. Her leg isn't fractured anymore." Then Shifu said. "I meant to you Po. What happened to you as a result of healing Tigress." Po had a feeling that Shifu knew what was happening to him So he decided to come clean. "To be honest I felt tired afterwards. I mean I had to catch my breath a bit but otherwise mostly tired and a bit hungry." Shifu seemed surprise by Po's response. Then he asked. "You mean you didn't pass out? Collapse? Regurgitate?" Po looked at him with a confused look. "Noooo. Should I have?" Shifu was silent. Could Po really have such control of his Chi? Or does he just have such an unusually large amount of it? Then Shifu spoke, "Po before you attempt this new technique on someone else I'd like to observe you personally attempt it on your own body.

Po just looked at his master and said "Okay, sure Shifu, when?" Then Shifu grinned. "Right now."

Okay that last line I totally pictured Shifu's face like in the first KFP movie when He was saying "Let's get Started" The first morning Po had training with the Five.

Don't forget to review and I'll get another Chapter up ASAP!
