Chapter 5 Leo And Tigress's First Date

Leo was walking down on the stone steps when he saw Monkey running up to him with Mantis on his shoulder. "What is it, Monkey?" Leo asks him.

"It's Master Shifu." Monkey answers him. "He needs to talk to you."

"Where is Shifu?"

"Shifu is waiting for you in the Hall Of Heroes." Mantis answered.

Leo nodded his head and runs by Monkey and Mantis and heads toward the Hall Of Heroes. The doors open as Leo ran inside. Leo stops in the center as he saw Master Shifu standing in front of the Moon Pool. He walks up behind Shifu. "Shifu, is something wrong?" Leo asks him.

The small master turns to Leo. "There is something that I want to speak to you about, Leo." Shifu answered.

"What do you want to speak to me about?" Leo asks him.

"About what you said several days ago before Oogway passed away." Shifu replied.

"I see." Leo said.

"You said that you already have a master before you came here." Shifu said. "Who is your master?"

Leo sighed. "Lee is my master, Shifu." he replied with an answer. "He adopted me when I was a kid."

"You were adopted when you were a little boy?"

"Yes." Leo answered.

"What about your parents? Where were they?" Shifu asks him.

"I don't remember anything about them." Leo replied. "I have no memory of them."

"I'm sorry you don't remember them." Shifu apologized.

"Don't worry about it." Leo said.

"That is all I wanted to know." Shifu said.

"Okay." Leo said. "I'm sorry about the other day."

"Do not worry, Leo." Shifu smiled.

"Thank you, Shifu." Leo said. "Now that we got that out of the way, I need to get ready for my date with Tigress."

"You and Tigress are going on a date?" Shifu asks him, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes." Leo replied.

"Hm." Shifu said. "This may be a problem."

"Do you think the problem is that she's a tiger and I'm a human?" Leo asks him.

"I believe so." Shifu replied. "But I am willing to let you and Tigress to date if things go well."

"I hope so." Leo said.

"So do I, Leo." Shifu said.

It was the late afternoon. Leo was standing outside of the Hall Of Heroes. He was wearing a jade dynasty dress that matches his jade eyes.

"Hello, Leo." a voice said.

Leo turns around to see Tigress. She was wearing a pink and white sheni. He was at a loss for words. Tigress is beautiful in that sheni. Beautiful as...

"You look handsome in that dress, Leo." Tigress complimented him.

"Thanks." Leo said as his face blushes.

"Shall we get going?" Tigress asks him.

Leo nodded his head and sticks his arm out. Tigress grabs his arm and the two of them walks down the stairs to the valley. Leo notice they were heading to Mr. Ping's Noodle restaurant. There was no one there but Po and Mr. Ping and there was one table in the center.

"Hello, Leo and Master Tigress." Mr. Ping greeted them.

"Hello, Mr. Ping and Po." Leo said. "What are you doing down here, Po?"

"I'm here to help my dad to move some stuff around the house." Po explains to him. "And he wants me to help out to cook your meal for your date."

"Thank you, Po." Leo said.

"I'll take you to your table." Mr. Ping said. Mr. Ping led Leo and Tigress to their table. The two of them took their seats. "Po will be taking your order and I'll be in the kitchen."

Tigress nods her head as Mr. Ping walks back to the kitchen.

"Do you want to start off with drinks tonight?" Po asks them.

"We'll start off with green tea." Tigress answered.

"Sure." Po said. "I'll be back in a few seconds." He turns around and walks inside the kitchen. Po made the green tea and brought out two cups for them. "What would you like to order tonight?"

"I'll have fried rice and two egg rolls." Leo said.

"For me is rice and pork." Tigress said.

"Ok." Po said. "Your food will be ready in a few minutes."

"Thank you." Leo said.

Po walks back into the kitchen.

"What is Leo and Tigress having?" Mr. Ping asks him.

"Leo is having the fried rice with egg rolls and Tigress is having rice and pork." Po answered.

"Let's get to work." Mr. Ping said.

Tigress took a small sip from her tea. "Leo, there's something I've been wanting to ask you about." Tigress said.

"What is it?"

"What is it like training and living with Master Lee, Leo?" Tigress asks him.

Leo looks at her. "It was tough for me in the beginning." Leo answers her. "I felt that I was still unacceptable because of Zhao's betrayal and Lee is always stern."

"Hm." Tigress said. "Did Lee ever sent you to school?"

"No." Leo replied. "I tried public school, but it didn't work out so Master Zen decided to have me homeschooled instead. Some of the other masters volunteered."

"Interesting." Tigress said. "I had to go school."

"Was it good for you at school?" Leo asks her.

"No." Tigress answers him. "I was ridicule by others because of asking too many questions for my curiosity in the past."

"Hm." Leo said.

Po comes out of the kitchen with their food. "Here you go." Po said, setting the food on the table.

"Thank you." Leo and Tigress said together.

The two of them began to eat their meal. After swallowing a piece of pork, Tigress asks Leo, "Did you ever made some friends when you were living with Lee and Zen?"

Leo swallows his egg roll. "No." Leo answered. "Not until in my teen years. I stayed away from the kids because I was afraid they'll be scared of my tiger-like strength."

"So what happened?"

"Master Lee and the other masters gave me private lessons." Leo said. "It gave me a chance to focus on my lessons."

Tigress nods her head as she picks up another piece of pork.

"How's your food?" Leo asks her.

"It's good." Tigress answers Leo. "How about you?"

"The fried rice is good." Leo replied. "Even the egg roll as well."

"That's good." Tigress said.

The two couples continued eating their meal. Several minutes has passed and their meal was finished.

"I hope you enjoyed the meal." Po said as he grabs their dishes.

"It was good, Po." Tigress said as he walks back to their table.

"Excellent." Leo said.

"Thank you." Po smiled.

"How much do we owe you?" Leo asks him.

"It's on the house." Mr. Ping answered, walking up to the table before Po can speak.

"Are you sure?" Tigress asks him, concerned.

"Yes, I'm sure." Mr. Ping smiled. "After all, you saved the valley from Tai Lung and Zhao."

"Thank you." Leo said. He walks over to Tigress with his right hand stretching out. "Shall we go?"

Tigress smiled. "Yes." Tigress answers him, taking his hand. She stands up and the cute couple walks out of the restaurant.

As they were walking down the street, Leo looks up and notices the stars. "The stars look great tonight." Leo said.

"They are great." Tigress said, looking up.

"Let's head to the Peach Tree so we can have a better look." Leo suggested.

Leo and Tigress heads back to the palace and made it to the Peach Tree. Leo was sitting down, leaning against the trunk as Tigress was sitting next to him.

"I must admit, our first date isn't going bad at all." Leo said.

"I agree." Tigress agreed.

"Have you and the Furious Five hang out sometimes before Po and I came here?" Leo asks her.

"Sometimes, but I usually train or meditate." Tigress answers him. "And what about you?"

"Same here, but I don't hang out with anyone." Leo replied.

"And what about the other masters?"

"Not even with the masters too." Leo answered. "I always take that time to study and reflect on what I learned. Plus meditating as well."

"I see." Tigress said.

"Is this your first date, Tigress?"

"Yes, it is my first date, Leo." Tigress replied. "But I was worried if things don't work out between us. You're a human and I'm a tiger."

Leo wraps his left arm on her shoulders, letting her to lean against him. "Hm." Leo sighs, looking at his right palm. "I'm willing to give this a shot with you, Tigress."

"Are you sure, Leo?" Tigress asks him.

"Yes Tigress." Leo answered.

"Isn't there anyone you like back where you come from before you ended up here?"

Leo didn't say anything. He and Tigress stands up together and Leo walks near the ledge. Leo crosses his arms. "There is someone." Leo said.

"Someone that you like?"

"Only as a friend." Leon replied. "Nothing more."

"When was the last time you saw your friend?" Tigress asks him.

Leo turns around. "The last time I saw her was that she was in Japan with another friend." Leo answered. "She was supposed to be coming back on the day I arrived here."

"I see." Tigress said. "They must be looking for you."

Leo nods his head.

"Don't worry." Tigress said.

As Leo turns around and walks back to her, he trips on a small rock. Leo stops himself from falling by placing his hands on the Peach Tree and Tigress was between him and the tree. The two of them are very close to one another, their noses barely touching one another.

"I'm sorry if I almost bump into you, Tigress." Leo said softly.

"I know." Tigress said softly.

Leo and Tigress just stares into each other's eyes. Tigress looks more beautiful up close. Leo felt he was staring into the eyes of a cat goddess. Before he could get his hands off the tree, Tigress snakes her arms slowly around his neck. Leo responded by lowering his arms and putting them around her waist.

With the mood and setting right, Tigress kisses him. Leo kisses Tigress back. It felt amazing. The two warriors stood there what felt like time has moved on. Their hearts were beating as they felt the wet and warmth of their lover's lips. They broke the kiss.

"I love you, Tigress." Leo said.

"I love you too, Leo." Tigress replied. Tigress could see his face turning red and chuckled. Tigress spins him around and Leo's back was to the tree.

Leo and Tigress began to kiss again. Leo slid down until he was sitting down and Tigress was sitting down on his lap. Tigress's tail moves back and forth in between her lover's legs. Their bodies were relaxing as they kissed. They broke the kiss to get some air.

"This date turned out to be better than I expected, Leo." Tigress said.

"I agree, Tigress."

Tigress purred in satisfaction as she got up for a minute to turn around and sits back down with her back leaning against his chest. Leo wraps his arms around her waist again and the two lovers looks up at the stars. Nothing will go wrong.

This chapter turned out to be great. I wanted to add some history to Leo when Leo and Tigress was having dinner so I thought it was a good idea. The next chapter is going to be very exciting. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I encourage you all to leave a review!
