hello, i'm back with the next chapter of kung fu panda a new threat, and my next chapter to my other story is going up as well. right after this one. yes i am now working on 2 storys and no that will not affect this story as i will be wrighting both at once. i will be updating both. well enough about that enjoy.

1 month later po and tigress get a mission to the mountains in the west to check out. Apparently some bandits or so have made a home there and they have been up to no good. At first po was a little hesitant at first but thought maybe it was a different part of the mountains.

"(Pant) how much (pant) further is it?" po said through pants.

"Po, you trained for 3 months and you still get tired of walking after just a few hours." tigress said in sheer annoyance.

"No, I went longer then before." po said in his defense.

"Ok granted you made it a few feet more but still." tigress said as she turns to see po. "I guess some things never change po." tigress said as she smiled.

"Well I would say one thing did change." po said as he walked closer.

"Yea, what's that?" tigress asked while she was mesmerized by Po's jade green eyes.

"You and I are now together." po said barely above a whisper and stop just 2 centimeters in front of tigress.

"Yea, well, is that a bad thing?" tigress teased in a whisper as well. Po didn't answer he just brushed the side of tigress's face. This made tigress feel like she was going to lose her balance and fall. Po then took the female tiger by surprise and kisses her with deep passion. Tigress was taken back but fell into it increasing the passion. Until po pulled away. "This is one change I'm glade that happen beautiful." po said. Tigress was still dazed as she only heard some of what po said.

"Will you repeat that, I was still dazed after that wonderful action you did." tigress said through a purr.

"I said this is one change I'm glade that happen beautiful." po said while still holding tigress. Probably a good thing tigress might not be standing after that little kiss po did.

"That's what I thought you said." tigress said as she was still purring.

"So do you want to keep going or do you want to stop here for the night?" po asked.

"Hmm, I guess we can stop for the night, we are almost there." tigress said while po gave her a peck on the cheek and began getting the tent ready.

"I'll sent the tent up while you go get some firewood." po said with a smile.

"Tents, as in 2 tents?" tigress questioned with a raised eye brown and tilted head.

"Yea, why, do you want me to just set up one tent up?" po teased knowing the answer.

"Yea, I mean its not like master shifu will find out that we shared a tent." tigress said gaining Po's interest.

"I see I would have never suspected you to do a thing like this." po said as he put away the stuff for the second tent.

"Well, I thought maybe we can see what it would be like to share a bed." tigress said with a blush.

"Ok, its fine by me I just thought you might like your privacy like at the palace." po said as he was now half way done with the tent.

"Well I appreciate that you thought about me first." tigress said as her blush grew. "I'll go get that firewood now." tigress said as she walks into the woods.

Once she was far enough so po didn't hear her. "Man what is with me, I'm not normally like this." tigress said to her self. "I guess there's nothing really wrong, I mean I do love him." tigress said before noticing what she said. "Wait did I say I love him?" tigress asked her self.

"Yes you did." tigress's inner self said. "But do you?" inner tigress asked.

Tigress didn't answer she just thought of all the time she and po had. The first time she show him her smile, the bean bun challenge, the fight with the wolfs in town when shen came around, the hug she gave him when her and po fought, the second time when po hugged her, and finally she remembered the feeling she got when she thought he was dead. "Yes, I do love him." tigress finally answered.

"About time, did you really need to take that much time to say it?" inner tigress teased.

"Shut up." tigress said to her inner self.

Back at the camp po has finished putting up the tent; he actually had to combine both tents as one was too small. Once he was done he decided to train until she got back. But his training was broken when his dark side came into him mind.

"Hiya, I see we will be sleeping with tigress tonight, I'll be sure to take over and-." po said to stop dark po.

"Shut up." po said to cut off dark po."

"What don't want to hear the truth." dark po teased.

"You will not touch a hair on her." po said sternly.

"Well well, if I do what are you going to do kill your self." dark po laughed. Po wanted to shut him up but knew he was right, how was he going to stop him, dark po was him.

"po." tigress said. "Are you alright?" tigress asked as when she came back she saw po kneeing on the ground.

"Yea, for the most part." po answered.

"Well look that has come home to daddy." dark po said.

"Shut up." po said a bit loud.

"What!" tigress said in anger?

"Sorry, not you." po apologized. "Yea, I can get you to make it look like your talking to yourself and she'll think your crazy and leave you." dark po replied.

"Oh, that is it." po said in anger. Po looks to the side. "Ok you and me buddy, I will kick you ass, right here right now." po continue to say in anger can confusing tigress.

"Oh ho ho, want to challenge ey, well we can't remember what master shifu said." dark po said as he said mocked shifu and title.

"Yea, yea, I remember, dam, I can't wait to end you." po said as sat back. "If you can keep quiet I might be able to make It." po stated.

"Make what, who are you talking to?" tigress said in anger.

"Oh, sorry about that, my dark side was getting out of hand." po said as he was calmer.

"I'll show you out of." dark po never finished as po sent him back into the depth of his mind.

"Dark side?" tigress said as she some what tilted her head. "What do you mean you acted like you were talking to some one." tigress sounded a little calmer.

"Ok, well remember when I had that conversation the day after I showed you guys your techniques?" po asked and received a nod.

"Well, this is how it went, considering you guys don't know what really going on." po said as he started his flash back.

Po's flash back.

The morning after po showed the furious 5 there techniques po awoke before everyone as he needed to talk to master shifu. po got up and walks out his door but ran into tigress.

"Oh, sorry tigress didn't mean to run into you." Po said.

"that ok, what are you doing up so early?" tigress asked.

"there something I need to talk to shifu about, and if I don't I might be responsible for thing I don't want to happen." po said. Po's voice was low and serious."

"oh, ok, well we can spar when your done." tigress offered.

"sure but I don't know how long this will take." po said as put a smile on.

"ok well when you get done just let me know." tigress said as she gave him a peck on the cheek and went back to her room.

Po stood daze for a few seconds and then walked out of the dorms to find shifu. On his way to the training hall he saw shifu and walk up to him.

"Good morning master shifu." po greeted.

"Morning po, what are you doing up this early?" shifu asked.

"There some thing I need to talk to about." po said in a scared tone.

"Oh, what's wrong?" shifu said as he place a paw on po left forearm to gesture him to follow.

"Well, it's about that dream I had yesterday when I woke up." po said.

"I see, well we will talk after your training." shifu said.

"Please forgive me but this can't wait master." po seriousness told shifu it was some thing that needed to be dealt with sooner then later. "Ok, let us wake the others and then you and I can have that talk." Shifu replied. They walk for a few seconds and were in front of everyone's doors. Another second and the gong goes off with everyone standing and greets there master. "good morning master." they said in unison. They saw po next to shifu looking down like there was something bothering him but ignored it for now.

"Students you will be training like normal today, me and po will be discussing something of importance, so if its a dire emergency do not disturb us." shifu said as he and po walk out. "Yes master." they said in unison.

Shifu walk to the yin yang pond to talk. Once there shifu and po sat on a couple of rocks near by.

"So, po, what seems to be bothering?" shifu asked.

"Well, some thing is different about me, ever since I had that dream." po started. "I feel like I have a dark side."

"Po we all have light and dark sides, its the choices we make determine witch side we are." shifu stated.

"No, not that kind of dark side, I mean like a physical dark side." Po said to clarify what he meant.

"Ah, I see, that dark side." Shifu said as if he knew what it is. "Well, I'll have to go in the depth of your mind along with you to see your dark self." Shifu said as if it was easy for po to do that.

"Um master, how uh, how um are you going to do that I can't enter into a meditated trance when I'm this stress." Po asked.

Shifu did not answer but pull a scroll from his robe and showed po that it was blank. "Put your paw on this scroll." Shifu instructed. Po did as he was told. Po seemed to understand what shifu was doing. Once po puts his paws on the scroll he passes out. Shifu then enters into a meditated state to enter Po's subconscious. This lasted for an hour before po awoke from his deep meditated state as well as shifu.

End of flash black.

"And that's what I talk to him about, my dark self, dark po." Po said as he finished his story.

ok, po really has a pysical dark side, hmm. well to find out if hedefeats his dark self will be revealed later. until next time bye for now.
