Hey everyone sorry I haven't updated but I haven't really had a lot of time on the computer. I was supposed to publish this yesterday (10/24/2015) but my computer didn't have internet. Anyways, this chapter may seem a bit confusing towards the end but I hope you enjoy it.

Disclaimer: I still don't own Kung Fu Panda (But I will own something that'll be related to it. It'll take a bit of time from my writing but it'll be worth it you'll see next year)

Enjoy!


Shifu ran through the valley trying to find Tigress while MaSha and the rest of the five ran after him. Knowing him, he would probably murder Po if he was near his daughter. Luckily he didn't know if she was with him or not.

*with Tigress*

"Po!" Tigress smiled seeing him. Po smiled seeing her. He was by a lake waiting for her for quite a while now. They had agreed to meet up there since they had to keep it a secret from her father.

"Hey Tigress" Po stood up. Tigress walked towards him embracing him in a tight hug that he returned without hesitation. They stayed like that for a long time wishing they could hold one another forever but their love was just not possible until he was completely done against the law but even then it would be difficult to convince her father. After a while they parted their hug and but still didn't let go of one another their forehead against the other with a smile on their faces. "I really smiled you Ti" Po smiled touching her cheek. Tigress smiled at him sweetly.

"I missed you too Po" She smiled. Even though it had only been a few hours since they had seen each other, they were afraid that if they stayed apart really long they were going to lose one another. "Did you manage to clear your name?" She asked. Po slightly frowned.

"Yeah I did" Po told her. "But I only need to clear it here"

"Do you have a plan on how to do that?" She asked raising a brow.

"Um...No" Po frowned.

"Po!"

"Sorry I wasn't thinking" Po told her freaking out a bit. "I just wanted to come. It's been 5 years and I just couldn't stay away anymore." He explained looking down. Tigress frowned taking his face in her hands and lifting it to look at her in the eyes.

"I know it's been long Po" She told him. "But my father would kill you if he knew you were still a bandit. I can't let him see you at all"

"I know. I know" Po frowned. They had let go of each other by now. Po's back was facing her and his head low. Tigress walked to him worried knowing it was difficult. She didn't mind that he was a bandit but Shifu would literally kill him if he still had his criminal record.

"Po..." Tigress placed her paw on his shoulder. "I'll help you out...but you must promise me one thing"

"Anything Ti" Po told her taking her paw into his. Tigress smiled.

"Promise me that no matter what happens...you'll always be there for me, I don't want to lose you" Po smiled at her taking her into his arms once again.

"I'll do more than that, I'll stay by your side no matter what happens. Even after death." Po told her kissing her softly on the lips. Tigress smiled and kissed him back. As they parted, Tigress sensed someone near...oh no.

"Po..."

"Yeah?"

"Hide"

"Why?"

"Just do it." Po quickly looked around and before he knew it he jumped into the water.

"Tigress!" Shifu's voice came. Po, although it sounded muffled, could recognize the voice. He knew he had to hold his breath the best he could or their would be major trouble for sure. Tigress frowned hearing the tone of Shifu's voice. If he knew Po was with her, she could only think of the worse he could do to him. Shifu saw her standing by the lake looking quite a bit concerned and approached her with MaSha and the rest of the five close behind.

"Hello father did you need something?" Tigress asked shocking Master Shifu once again.

"Yes, I need to know what you're doing out here in the lake" Shifu asked her. "alone"

"I'm just...enjoying myself" Tigress said quite suddenly. "I like to take time to myself sometimes too you know." Shifu looked at her a bit suspiciously. He couldn't remember the last time Tigress wanted to be alone. She hated to go anywhere if it wasn't with her sister. Even though Tigress did sometimes go places alone, but that was when she had missions in other valleys on her own. Other than that, her free time was pretty much spent with MaSha. Thinking nothing of he decided to not leave her alone rather than have someone watch her.

"I'm sure you won't mind if MaSha stayed here with you correct?" Shifu looked at her. "After all you never do anything without your sister" He added. MaSha looked at Shifu than at Tigress knowing Shifu was serious about it. When it came to discussing family with Shifu he was always serious especially since Po Ping is back, even though he didn't know where he was.

"Of course not" Tigress looked at MaSha. She knew MaSha knew about Po but was afraid she would try jumping him.

"Good" Shifu responded and looked at MaSha whispering. "Keep a close eye on her." He told her.

"Yes father" MaSha looked down. She hated to lie to her father but she also hated the fact that Tigress would be upset and probably won't ever be herself ever again. Shifu looked back at Tigress before leaving with the rest of the five following. Po couldn't take it anymore and he jumped out of the water gasping for air. Luckily for him it was just MaSha and Tigress standing there. Tigress smiled helping him out of the water as he gained back his breath and soon smiled back at her. "I hope you know what you're doing Tigress" MaSha told her.

"Of course I do" Tigress argued. "and I know you're only saying that because you believe he's a bandit." Tigress glared

"Well that's what he is look at him!" MaSha pointed towards him. Po looked at her strangely. He had a damped black shirt, and wearing black pants. He also had a scar over his eye that was barely visible. Tigress looked at MaSha raising a brow.

"What about him makes him a bandit" Tigress told him.

"He just came back to probably take some more jewels" MaSha told her crossing her arms.

"I'm standing right here you know." Po told her. He had slight glare when he heard some ruffling near by hoping MaSha nor Tigress had heard it.

"What was that?" MaSha asked looking around. Po sighed.

"I'm sure it was nothing" Po said a bit nervously. MaSha looked at him suspiciously, believing it was something. "Tigress, I hate to leave but I really need to take care of something with an old...'friend'" Po told her using his fingers as quotations when saying 'friend'.

"It's alright Po, Shifu seems to be growing a bit suspicious of me leaving for a long time" She told him.

"He's not the only one" MaSha added. Po looked at Tigress knowing he still had a long way to gain everyone else's trust. MaSha hardly trusted him at all.

"She'll trust you one day" Tigress told him kissing his cheek. "just be careful with this 'friend'" She told him. Po smiled kissing her forehead before leaving.

"I won't trust him" MaSha crossed her arms.

"I know you will, one day"

"What makes you think that?"

"You started to trust Prince Yang"

"There's a difference" MaSha protested.

"How?"

"Yang is a prince and Po is a bandit."

"People change."

"They all pretend to change. When you least expect it, they strike"

"You don't know him like I do"

"I might not but I do know that bandits don't change" MaSha told her walking away. Tigress sighed knowing her sister is really hardheaded. But if she was able to trust Prince Yang, why can't she trust Po.


Alright I know the ending is a bit confusing but I wanted to finish this chapter today. I'm already planning-opps can't say anything till the ending. A lot of you will hate me because of the ending I have planed. It's not sad, it's just a bit unexpected very little people know of what I have planed like 2/100 people know. Anyways I hoped you enjoyed it. Have a great day.
