Chapter 6 - Trying to Fix It

Tigress's POV

WHAT! Luke has been having a demon affecting him? There's no way he wouldn't tell me, he'd tell me what his problems were. I realised that Master Shifu must've told him to not say anything. I clenched my fists and stormed towards him.

"Why didn't you let Luke tell us about the demon, or at least you tell us?!" I yelled at Master Shifu. I might've fixed my relationship with him but he still does stuff that really is questionable. But before he could answer me, we all heard a blood curdling laugh and we all turned towards Luke and I couldn't believe my eyes. He looked as though he was burning with black smoke all over his body and his eyes were glowing blood red. He's possessed by Xing. The person that I started to love is taken over by that bastard of a demon, but why Luke?

"Because he didn't care for Luke, he just wanted to get rid of him like the rest of you." Xing said to us all. What kind of crap is that? We all cared for him.

"Why Luke?" Po asked the demon trying to sound tough. The demon laughed yet again.

"Why not? He was perfect, someone who misses their home, which is another world, I just needed to convince him that you all never cared for him and he eventually believed me." Xing explained while walking slowly towards us. I'm now starting to get really angry.

I was the first one to charge at the possessed Luke but he deflected my attack and threw me to the wall with so much force that my arm got cut by the wood. Then everyone else attacked him but he easily dodged and attacked them all and he severely wounded us all. He used Po's size and mass to his own advantage, he struck Shifu at particular points so that he wouldn't fight him, same for Viper. He smacked Mantis around, he grabbed Monkey's tail and threw him around and he kicked Crane by backflipping a kick. He then turned to me and he was so smug.

"Oh, you're something, Luke believed that you still considered him a freak when he realised that you couldn't love him back." Xing taunted me. And I couldn't believe what he just said. Luke did love me, he must've been convinced that I wouldn't love him back because of him being a human. He was wrong, I did love him, I just couldn't find a way to bring it up since I'm new to this emotion.

"He loved me?" I asked the demon. I did this so that I could stall him as I looked at Mantis to get his acupuncture needles, he knew immediately and ran for them at the barracks.

"Of course, I convinced him that you wouldn't love him back and reminded him that you called him a freak. Why he would fall in love with you, I couldn't understand." Xing said with a laugh in a mocking manner. Why didn't I tell him sooner? But that's it, I might defeat this demon by doing the very thing that would've given Luke more of a fighting chance. I saw Mantis, about ready to use the needles and I winked to tell him to use them now.

"Well, there's a reason for him to love me. You just don't know it. And I'm gonna do the very thing I should've done before all of this, Luke if you're in there, I love you." I said to the possessed Luke slowly and painfully getting up. And I must've gotten through as the glowing red eyes were gone and Luke's heartwarming brown eyes were back.

Luke's POV

I've been beating these guys up and I found satisfaction in it all but facing Tigress, I couldn't believe my ears. She said that she loves me. I know her well enough that she doesn't fake her emotions. I let the demon take control but hearing this made me take over my body and the red filter over my eyes was gone.

"Tigress?" I said to her and before she answered my limbs lost all feeling and fell asleep. I fell to the ground and saw that Mantis used his acupuncture needles, a good move. Then Tigress came up on top of me and she looked sad.

"Wait? What are you doing? She doesn't love you, she's just manipulating you. I know the truth." The demon said to me in my head, but I knew without a doubt that Tigress was conditioned over the years that it makes it impossible for her to fake her emotions.

"Tigress, do you mean it?" I asked her as I needed her to help me get rid of this fucking demon from my mind.

"I mean it." She told me with a smile before kissing me on the lips, and I closed my eyes and leaned into the kiss. The kiss was the most fulfilling sensation I've ever felt in my life. It felt as though a light was consuming my whole body. The demon was screaming in pain and eventually the screaming was gone and no ounce of darkness was left. Tigress broke apart from the kiss and looked at me with hope.

"I love you, Tigress and I'm so sorry." I told her before I passed out from the exertion of energy from the demon possessing me.
