Just as he had been secretly hoping, Tigress had been so shocked from his surprise kiss that she had forgotten all about trapping him. Her hands fell from the tree and dangled lifelessly at her sides, her heart beating rapidly but the fight all but gone out of her. Po couldn't help the wash of guilt that spread over him for taking advantage of her in this vulnerable situation, but still he did not stop. He had to do this. He had to go. For his father.
When Po finally pulled away, gasping for a breath, Tigress just stood there in complete and utter surprise. It almost seemed as if her entire body was frozen solid. Po took his chance to bolt. She did not attempt to chase him down. Once he was far enough away to be sure that he could get out of the situation safely, Po turned around, now running backwards and stumbling over ever little thing that crossed his path.
"Sorry, Tigress!" he yelled, putting his hand over his mouth for emphasis, "I just REALLY need to do this! Please don't kill me when I get back!" He chuckled nervously for a second, and then turned right back around, continuing on his jog. And all the while, Tigress just stood there. Unmoving, unfeeling, unspeaking. Just frozen. She couldn't believe what had just happened.
Anything else she could have been able to deal with. Any punch or kick or bite he could have thrown at her. But this? He hit her where it hurt. Right on the soft, bruised part of her heart. She loved him, she knew that now, and she also hated it.
Since when had she become so weak? Since when had she turned from a warrior into a prissy little love-sick puppy? She was ashamed, guilty, disgusted in herself. But deep down, she was also happy. Because Po had kissed her, and it had been amazing. Better than amazing. It had been legendary.
Unable to deal with her conflicting emotions at the moment, Tigress pushed them all aside. All she left herself with was that original anger. Dark and haunting and dangerous. Anger, it seemed, was the only emotion that didn't scare her. The only one that didn't completely tear her apart. So if she had to be angry? So be it. She could deal with that. The only thing she couldn't deal with right now was Po. Slowly and surely, Tigress began to unhinge her rusty joints. Taking deep breathes, she walked to the nearest river bed.
She would need some SERIOUS meditation if she wanted to figure things out. She'd better get started now.
