Chapter 8

Tigress was enjoying how soft his fur was against her cheek. She was calm, that's when her heart started beating fast... She wasn´t supposed to be doing this, she was supposed to be alert! She was supposed to be ready to attack any minute, not calmly dancing around as if nothing were wrong.

But she didn´t wanted to break away from his touch, so she just remained there, with her eyes opened, and her ears perked up so she could immediatly hear is something was wrong. Still, she was feeling guilty and selfish. She broke away from him.

"Hey, mind getting me a drink?" She asked. Po nodded and smiled. He started to go to where the drinks where placed. Tigress was looking closely, keeping an eye on Po and the people around him. None of them looked suspicious, except all the girls who were fluttering his eye at him... or maybe that was just jealousy getting the best of her.

Po was pouring some juice into a cup, he was also thristy, so he poured another one for himself. A lot of girls were trying to get his attention, he knew that... but he wasn´t going to give them any, he already has someone he loves. As he was there, he saw some snacks, he couldn´t help but to grab some and stuff them in his mouth. He felt a weird feeling, as if someone were watching him... or spying on him...

He turned around and saw a panther, the phanter was looking deviously at him. He then noticed that the phanter was eyeing him like the other girls. He was beginning to feel uncomfortable... this look was not like the other girl´s, this had something hidden in it, most likely evil.

He got nervous, so he started to walk back to where Tigress was, but unfortunaly, she was almost at the end of the ballroom, past the guests who were dancing happily.

The phanter started to follow him, Po tried to quicken his pace, but it was impossible with all those people in his way. Soon enough, the phanter was blocking his path.

The queen, who was watching all this, smiled.

"Helo, prince. My name is Ju" She said, giving him a seductive smile.

Tigress, who was watching in distance, growled when she saw how the phanter was looking at Po, not only that, but like Po, she felt like the girl was hiding something. She continued watching, unclenching her claws, feeling that something was extremely off.

"Umm, Hi... no offensse, but I already have someone" he tried going around her, but she blocked him,

"So, if you could just...move" he said, trying to go away, but failing, now he was in a corner of the room, Ju blocking every possible path to get away from her.

"You mean, that tiger..." she put on paw on his chest "Oh please... I´m better" She said. Po tried to draw back... but she was too quick, before he knew it, her lips were planted on his.

He tried to pull back, but it was useless since he was in a corner. Ju used this to her advantage and pushed him back, deepening the kiss. She wrapped her arm around his neck, knowing a feline was watching this.

Tigress was watching how Ju put her paw on his chest, her blood was boiling inside... what surprised her is that po didn´t shook of the paw. He told her something instead.

She then saw the panther lean forward and...

" what the!? What is she doing!? And..." Her heart stopped beating and started crushing "Why is Po not pulling back... why is he letting her wrap her arms around him... why..." She felt tears come to her eyes... she was thinking that Po wasn't like other royalty... apparently she was wrong, he would drop her for another girl in a matter of seconds... he just showed that.

Yet she saw that one of Ju´s paws was holding something, she wiped her eyes and looked closely, it was hard since the kiss was rigth by it and was serving as a major distraction . She saw the object and gasped, she ran towards him...

"Po! GET AWAY FROM HER!" she yelled, soon enough, she was by them, Po saw the object she was holding, and feared crept into his heart, it was a knife. He was trying to move, but it was as if Ju was prepared for his struggles.

Tigress was running towards him, ripping her dress and revealing her training outfit. A lot of people started gasping and muttering about it, but Tigress didn't care. She then pounced on the phanter, knocking the knife that she was holding out of her hand.

"That´s why she looked off... She is the one planning to kill him!"

The phanter knew that someone was going to be there to protect the prince... but she didn't know that the tiger who was his girlfriend was the one protecting him.

She quickly sent a punch throwing Tigress off balance. Ju quickly stood up and got into her figthing stance, she picked up her knife and try to locate where the panda had gone.

Po was still catching his breath... not only was he breathless from the fear but also from the kiss. He looked at Tigress who was standing up from the other side. Everyone in the ballroom had stop dancing and where now watching the battle between them. Most of the knew that Master Tigress was going to win, still it wasn't often that you could get a chance to see a Master in action. And the prince's life was on the line.

Tigress took one step towards Ju, trying to read her next move. Ju shifted her eyes and finally found Po. She pretend to throw a kick, and she threw the blade towards the panda.

Tigress' quick reflexes helped her catch the knife midair. She then started to throw and kick the phanter. To be honest, she wasn't much of a figth. When the phanter finally laid on the ground, Ju made a snap with her fingers, and suddenly, 10 wolves, just like the ones that showed up at the palace, appeared. However, they were not going for Tigress, but for Po.

Po nervously got in his own figthing stance, hoping that he wouldn't have to figth and that maybe Tigress would show up to help him. His wish came true. In less than five seconds, Tigress was already there, using her paws as shields and her legs as a kicking machine. Po looked at Tigress, something in her eyes seemed weird, as if she were sad about something. Before Po had time to react and help her, the wolves laid down on the floor unconscious.

Everyone started clapping and cheering for the performance Master Tigress just did, forgetting about the dress incident. Tigress bowed at them then she turned to the queen who was agape and bowed to her. She then started walking out of the ball.

Po ran towards her, she was already outside the main doors. He grabbed her hand, but she quickly yanked it away.

"What can I do for you?" She said bitterly. Yet politely since Po was royalty. Po was taken back.

" Umm, Tigress is something wrong..." he waited for an answer but only silence came "Aren't you going to stay to the ball?" He asked.

"Why should I? The mission is done, you are safe, i have no work in here anymore" she replied with a firm tone.

"What about us? Was this seriously just because it was a mission you had to accomplish? " Po asked.

"Us" she motioned her and him "is over... The queen and Shifu were right. This was just a mission, I shoudn't have fallen for someone like you" she said, her heartbreaking inside because of the words she was saying, but she knew it would be for better, at least that what she thought.

"Someone like me? So... you never really cared about me... and you just follow what other people think of us! They tell us that we should be apart and you follow their orders! Can't you think on your own, make your own decisions?!" He yelled, trying to hold back the tears.

"Excuse me!? This is not what this is about! Besides, if it weren't for me following that order, you would have been dead right now!" Tigress shouted. Also trying to hold back the sobs... she turned her back to Po and started to walk off, and before he had any chance to protest, she said,

"Goodbye Po"

Po started to sob and cover his face in his hands, which were now getting wet. Tigress started crying, but she wiped the tears so no one would see her.

The queen was watching the whole scene, from the battle with Ju, to how Po and Tigress were arguing outside the palace's door. She knew why Tigress was upset, because her plan succed, the tiger actually thought of Po as a different person because he kissed the phanter (or the other way around) and now she wanted nothing to do with him... it affected the tiger more deeply than she would have thought. The tiger seemed melancholic, depressed, disappointed.

And now... Po was asking her. And of course, Po loved the tiger, so when Tigress went away... of course he was crushed as well. He was sad and crying over his lover.

The queen never thought that they both deeply cared about each other she thought it was merely a crush. And was she feeling regretful now. She was the one to blame not only for his son's tears, but also for Master Tigress's... and Tigress was a tough person who didn't cry, so it only made her feel guiltier.

" if I ever want to see any of them smile again, i have to fix the mess that I made... starting with the tiger. ..."

well, hoped you liked it! And review! I'll try to update soon, and hopefully in the next chapter people won't want to kill the queen for breaking apart our favorite couple:)
