Chapter 2

Tuesday

The next day, Po woke up extra early, he took a bath and put on his training outfit, which were some shorts. He made sure to put deodorant on. The put some lotion on him.

Truth to be told, he wanted to impress Tigress. Mostly because he might have started to develop a tiny crush on her. Well, that's just being sarcastic. He really, really liked her. Maybe even loved her.

Anyway, he went to the kitchen, just as his servants were starting to prepare breakfast.

"Hey guys" All of them turned around, it was true, Po was always nice, and they got used to Po treating them as friends "I just wanted to tell you can take the day off" All of the servants seemed stunned. They all exchanged glances with each other and then turned to Po again.

"Sir, Are you sure about that, what about your breakfast?" one of them asked.

"First, I told you to call me Po, no formalities. And second, I can cook my own breakfast" He said smiling.

He went over to the kitchen and started taking some flour to cook some dumplings. One of the ladies there saw that he took out twice as much as he was going to need.

"Excuse me, Sir, I mean, Po. Shouldn't you need half of that?" She asked politely, as all the servants were already outside and walking to their houses.

Po started blushing and he shrugged, the lady got the hint,

"Oh, I see, you are doing some for Master Tigress, am I right?" Po's cheeks grew even redder. The servant laughed.

"Not to worry, I won't tell if you don't want me to. Anyway, there is this spice over at the counter that makes them taste better, in case you want to use it to impress your girlfriend" She said, teasing him, then headed out.

Po shook off his initial shock and embarrassment and then yelled.

"She is not my girlfriend!" He sighed and then went back to preparing the dumplings. But he didn't know that his mom was listening to his conversation, and she wasn't really happy with this new harbored 'love' for the Master.

She decided she should talk to his son about it later, maybe he will even realize himself that he couldn't be with her because of a bunch of reasons.

Po finished making breakfast and made sure to put Tigress's dumplings on another plate, one that was pretty.

He tried not to eat the majority of his own dumplings, but he failed at his attempt. He finished his own and was tempted to eat Tigress's. But he had enough self-control not to, well, he only ate one.

He was waiting by the kitchen, hoping to hear a knock on the door, and suddenly, he regretted waking up early. He was so tired and sleepy.

Finally, voices having an argument came to his ears again. He chuckled, it was just like the first time, or yesterday, both being the same thing.

At least now he knew who was arguing. He walked to the door and opened it, only to find Tigress yelling (not really yelling, but commanding) at the guard and the guard having a hard time trying to remain unafraid.

Even Po had to admit that she looked pretty fierce like that. She looked pretty and fierce.

"Hey, you can let her pass, she is with me" Po shouted so he could be heard over the guard´s and Tigress's voices. They both turned to see him. Tigress smiled a little and the guard bowed to him.

"Of course, sir"

"What have I told you, call me Po" Po said. Tigress raised an eyebrow. Po motioned her to come in, so she did, and he closed the door after her.

"So that's your name, Po" Tigress clarified, making sure she got it right.

"Yes, Oh, just wondering, did you have breakfast?" he asked her casually. Tigress looked at him.

"No, but it's ok, I don't want your servants to do more work just for me" She said.

"That's ok." He took her hand, half of him expecting to get hit on the head, but he wasn´t, "I have some dumplings left, that I cooked".

Tigress smiled at him. They got to the kitchen and Po took out the plate of dumplings he had kept for her. She took one dumpling and took a bite.

"This is really good Po." She swallowed, Po smiled at her. Tigress chuckled, she knew that Po was trying to impress her or prove himself, but she didn't say anything about it. She ate one more, and then set the plate back on the counter.

"Ok, we should get training now" She said, heading out of the kitchen and into the big hallway, which was like a ball room, except no one was dancing, it was empty, not even the slightest decoration visible.

Po followed her. She took out some mats, (she probably asked the servants to have them ready) and then she started to do some stretching warm-ups. Po was looking at her, not sure if he was supposed to do it as well.

So he tried to imitate her actions. They seemed simple enough, but they were really complicated, for one, they were things that only a Master, like Tigress, could do. But Po didn't know that, so he kept trying, he was trying not to complain or groan even if it hurt.

But once Tigress started more complex things, Po groaned loudly, trying to do a split. Tigress quickly went to his aid, and helped him get out of the split, which he was stuck on. Once he was laying on the floor, catching his breath, Tigress was looking at him, kind of amused, and the rest of her angry, her tail swishing angrily behind her.

Once Po sat up, he looked at her eyes.

"Ok, what were you even thinking?!" She yelled.

"I thought I should do what you do" He muttered. Tigress rolled her eyes and helped him get up.

"What I do took years of practice, so don't. I was just warming up, so I can teach you" She explained, her tone softening. Po nodded understandingly.

They made their way to the mats, Tigress put Po in front of one, so if he falls (Which she was sure he was) he wouldn't get harmed.

Once they were prepared, Tigress started telling him how to throw basic punches. Po was doing pretty good for not ever doing it before.

He got the hang of it pretty quickly, so Tigress decided to move on and showed him kicks. Once in a while, Po lost his balance and fell, but Tigress always helped him up again, at which Po was glad. They spent hours training on just kicks and punches, until Tigress decided on testing him.

"Ok, now you are going to spar with me" She said. Po's jaw dropped.

"Awesome…. But don't you think that you will kill me? I mean, I'm just a beginner and you're a master" He said.

"That's why I'm going to go easy on you" She got in her fighting stance, and soon enough, Po was also ready to begin the match.

Po let out a battle scream and charged towards Tigress, only for her to easily dodge his punch. He quickly regained his energy and started to throw punched and kicks, not holding back because he knew Tigress would match up with his recently-learned skills.

Tigress was impressed by the progress Po was doing. Once she saw and opening by his rib, she lunged for it, sending a kick that made his fall backwards and into the mat.

She smiled at him, Po was happy that she was willing to smile more around him, a change that came naturally to Tigress.

Po got up and ready to fight again. Tigress shook her head.

"Po, you were doing really well, but if you want to add power, do this" Tigress got behind him.

She put one arm on his, making his arm lower, she gripped on it firmly, showing him how it had to be strong and firm. Her leg pushed his in front, making his whole stance improve. Her face was right behind/beside his, just barely brushing against his fur.

"This will make your fighting skills be more powerful and you are most likely not to lose balance" She whispered against his ear, her arms still interlocked with his. Po started blushing, the feeling on her fur against him felt new, and intoxicating. He could have turned around and kissed her right there, but he couldn't, and he knew that. Still it was a nice thought.

Tigress stood a couple of seconds like that, once she started to realize she was still holding him, she let go of him. Her fur was getting warm, and was hiding some redness coming from her cheeks. She stood in front of him, and coughed to get the attention of the panda, who was still in a trance.

She smiled at him, and her cheeks started to get heated again. She didn't know why, but after that touch, she felt weird. She really did not meant it to be so… confusing...

But at least it felt right.

She shook off the thought. NO! This was not meant to be some sort of match maker mission. It was a mission of safety.

She got on her stance, once she and Po composed themselves. She raised her paw, and extend it.

"Ok, hit it" She ordered. Po stared at her eyes, once again unsure of what she meant.

"Like, doing some kung Fu technique, or just…"

"Just hit it… you'll see once you do" She said, with a smirk. Po looked at the paw and threw a punch.

"Owww, owwie!" He started shouting, while trying caressing his hand.

"How is your paw so hard?!"

"Ironwoods, punched them 20 years…. Now again" She remained unfeeling for the rest of the time, once in a while shooting an encouraging smile towards him. And every time she did, she felt her cheeks started to redden again, and she had to look away, pretending to have seen something unusual.

Their training session came to an end, and Po walked with Tigress to the exit. Tigress was feeling all nervous on the inside, which came with a shivering as if she were cold.

Once they both got to the door, Po opened it, and hold it while Tigress marched outside.

"Well, Po, you made a lot of progress today" She said in a soft tone. Po smiled at her, happy to have gotten a compliment from her; it was hard to believe that she was the same warrior people talked about being hardcore and distant, because right now, she couldn't be any more awesome.

"I-I uh, thanks" He stuttered, blushing and not doing a good job on hiding it. Tigress smirked, then started to walk, and when she set foot outside the palace, she started to run on her fours, going in incredible speeds, until in a matter of seconds, she was gone in a blur.

Po stood there, his mouth agape. If he used to not believe that you could fall in love in first sight, he would take it back right now. He seriously didn't know how she could be any more perfect.

But while he was thinking that, there was someone else who might not fully agree with that, someone who did not wanted him to develop any romantic attachments to the feline.

Dun dun dun. Well, I'm just saying that this is not going to be my typical TiPo story…. This time there won't be another girl trying to steal Po… or vice versa. But I think it will be pretty interesting. Anyway, hoped you liked this chapter and review! I will be updating soon.

-Peace out :)
