Author's note:
Hey! I can predict the future! So you know how Tigress got sick in the last chapter? Well I wrote that chapter a couple of days before, but that morning I woke up with a cold! I shouldn't be this excited about it, but I just find it weirdly cool.
Also, AlienHeart: told you you were gonna have a heart attack! Also, thank you Alien Heart of Darkness (psst, hold on to those darts please, I have a feeling they might come in handy later on)
Long262: you should know that I'm so glad I didn't upset you with the last chapter! Don't worry anymore though, you will find this a little bit more...pleasing.

TIGRESS POV
He had lost his mind. Yes, it was just a matter of time...that's the only reasonable explanation for this crazy and may I say, awful decision. And what does he think he is! Arranged marriage! Its my life! And I don't need 'company' as he so wants to call it, I need that cute flabby panda! Not anyone else!
But did he listen? Noooooo
"Shifu! You-" he just hushed me and gave me a killer stare. Almost as scary as mine. I heard some footsteps approaching, and i took a step forward to catch a glance of who was this 'nice young man'.
A figure stepped into the kitchen. It was a lynx about my age. I made quick observations about him. His eyes were bright, almost a neon yellow. The fur underneath his chin was ruffled up, which made it look as a beard. That fur also have different markings on it. His fur was gold but it had dark black spots through out it. The edges of his ears were also tinted with black. He seemed well-built, because his arms were muscular. Not only that, but he was really tall. That's an exaggeration, he was around my height, maybe two or three inches taller, But not too much to make me look tiny in comparison.
In other words, he was handsome. But he wasn't Po. And I wasn't gonna marry him. Not even if those yellow eyes begged me to.
That's when I looked closer, He wasn't happy about this...he wasn't even expressing any type of emotion. He didn't wanted to marry me! I didn't know if to be offended or relieved by that, but either way, it was something.
Just like I was, he started observing me. I don't know what Shifu thought, but his idea of romance was making eye contact with someone of the opposite gender. Therefore, he smiled and said
"Well, I'll leave you two lovebirds alone" he then went outside the kitchen. We both sighed. I took a step closer to where he was. I started acting more like Master Tigress, not just like Tigress.
"Name" i demanded, looking at him up and down briefly. He raised an eyebrow to question me.
"That isn't a nice first impression" he answered. But I wasn't on the mood for that
"If I ask for your name, you'll give me your name. As simple as that, got it?" I stated roughly. He just rolled his eyes, but nonetheless, replied.
"Daichi, that's my name, but my friends call me..."he look sideways and smirked " Daichi". I broke a small grin.
"Ha! So you do smile. I was beginning to think you were just an emotionless warrior" i scoffed and crossed my arms in defense.
"Excuse me?" He realized his mistake.
"I mean, no offense. I was just being honest, not trying to be offensive or anything" he stuttered. I rolled my eyes and let out a sigh. I found him quite frustrating, nice but frustrating. The kind of boy that makes me want to slap some sense into him.
"About the arranged marriage" i began, but he interrupted me.
"Lets get to the point. You are not into me. I am not into you. Shifu forced us into this whole big mess and we both can't do anything about it. But let's just clear things up, we are both on the same side here, we are not enemies." after this, I didn't find him annoying. He actually just spoke what I was gonna say. I was kind of wondering how did Shifu even got him, but then again, he has a lot of connections.
"Good." But i wanted to ask him another question, I'm a girl, so don't judge me, "just wondering, uhhh, why don't you wanna marry me? I mean, I have a pretty good reason, but you-?" i waited for a response. I managed to make my cheeks keep their cool. But he didn't. His cheeks were turning bright red. With his large padded paws, he started to nervously twist one of his whiskers, that were kind of long in my opinion.
"I- It's not you. I just want to...You love someone else, right?" He said, his voice in a higher tone. I don't know why that question was related, but I still answered.
"Yes" i simply stated, he smiled.
"See, your face softens when you think about him. And I bet you get a weird feeling right?" i just nodded, wondering where was he getting to,
"Well, I want that. I want to experience that. And an arranged marriage is not really something that I would call 'love'" huh, he wasn't a jerk like I expected. And he probably saw that he had impressed me, but unlike some people, he didn't shove in my face.
"That's fair." I looked at him and then headed over towards the counter, turning my back towards him. I took out the crumbled note that was on my pants, the one from the day before. I started stretching it, making sure the crumbled corners were now straight. I smiled and began reading. But then I felt someone over my shoulder.
"Can I help you?" I asked in an irritated tone. He just shrugged,
"What is that?" I just took the paper, and turned it face down. He leaned closer, which lead me to shoving him aside (playfully in my defense).
"Oh come on! Tell me what it is!" He begged. I just smirked and crossed my arms,
"Haven't you heard that curiosity killed the cat?" I teased, he laughed.
"Just tell me, its a piece of paper! Tell me" I stepped closer and smiled,
"Or what?" I challenged. I enjoyed knowing that I had power over someone. But he soon smiled, a smile that made my confidence disappear for just an instant.
"Or...I'll go along with this marriage" I widen my eyes,
"You wouldn't! " now it was his turn to challenge me,
"Try me" i made grimace towards him and grumbled under my breath. The last thing I wanted was to someone to turn against me. Mostly since oogway wasn't back yet, which was honestly driving me crazy! How long does it take to fix issues in a valley!
I took the piece of paper. I opened it and as soon as I did, his face was back in my shouder. My eyes went to my shoulder, trying to see what he was doing.
"A recipe? " he said. My eyes shot back to the paper. He stood up.
"Man, you are boring" i growled and went back to reading the letter. It was, indeed, a recipe. For noodle soup! I laughed. I continued reading, at the bottom of the handwritten letter, there was his name.
-Hope you get well adorable kitten, hahahaha, too much, right? Don't kill me, I couldn't help it. Anyway, take care of yourself. Love you, your panda
I wanted to kiss his lips (by that I mean Po's, not Daichi. Gross!). Instead. I got a sudden urge to cook. I took out a pot and started to take some vegetables out of the crates.
"You are not gonna tell me you are gonna cook soup, right?" Diachi asked, making his way over to me.
"Got a problem with that?'" i responded, getting annoyed by his attitude again.
"Well, the servants told me that you set the kitchen on fire once, so that I shouldn't count on your cooking" i opened my mouth to protest. So the servants did talk behind my back!
"This time it will be different" i said, as i put the water to boil.
"Who gave you the recipe anyway?" Daichi asked me, taking a seat on the table.
"Someone" i answered with a blush on ny cheeks. He chuckled, probably knowing what I was talking abiut.
"He is lucky. Of course, he should do the cooking when you two get married" he teased me, seeing how hard I was try to keep up with the chopping and boiling. I laughed, and the girl inside of me started making plans of the wedding. That was, of course, if we managed to get out of this.
Sooo, this time I wanted to put my own OC who was not a jerk. And don't worrry, like he said, he doesn't want to marry tigress. So wipe the sweat drop away! If you want to know more about Daichi species, just search Lynx. Hope you liked the chapter! And please leave your review!
-peace out:)
