A year passed since Hélándòu started to walk. Even though it been a year, The snow leopard cub is growing in his own way, like growing to love Kung Fu. Hélándòu loved Kung Fu already, but it wasn't like Po's liking. It was something that the little cub felt in his blood to love it (as it is).
Today, Hélándòu was watching as his papa, two aunts, three uncles, and Yeye training with weapons in the fields from his room window. He didn't know why they weren't in their training room, but he heard his Papa saying that Hélándòu could see them train today after getting something called an 'agreement' with his Yeye. But he wanted to actually be out there, training with them. And he will today!
Hélándòu looked at his current 'babysitter' to see he was sleeping. The cub rolled his eyes, for even as a one-year-old, he knew that he was supposed to be watched. Even so, Hélándòu snook out of the door very quietly and made his way to the fields on all fours.
-later-
Hélándòu decided to stop and take a breath for a while after running so far. He turned to see that he was next to the training room. He looked at the direction of where he was going and back to the room. A wise, familiar voice hit his little ears.
"Go in there, and you will achieve your dreams." It said.
Hélándòu ran on his fours into the room. He was amazed at the machines and weapons that made up the traing room. Everything was metal and wood that seem dangerous to most people, but fun to Hélándòu.
Especially the one thing in the room that wasn't wood or metal. it was a stuffed doll that was twice the little snow leopard's size, made to look like a red-faced bandit with a black mask.
Hélándòu creeped up to the doll on all fours with a smirk on his little face. He had the sudden urge to hit the blank-eyed doll.
So...he did.
It was a light hit, but he wanted to hit it harder. Hélándòu kept hitting the doll harder, and harder, and harder and...
After hours of training outside, Shifu decided his students has had enough and they all went back to the training room to put the weapons back. And when they got there, they were surprised to see Hélándòu beating the training dummy with a bo staff.
Not beat it as in just smashing it with the staff, beat it as in using actual kung-fu techinques with the staff to hit it. From the poor condition of the dummy, this has been going on right from under their noses.
Hélándòu did a final stike at the dummy with a strong kick, strong enough to kick it to the wall. Hélándòu turned at smiled at the others, who were just staring with amazement and shock. He ran to his papa a rubbed against his leg.
Po noticed and picked up the little cub with a smile.
"It...looks like we have a little kung-fu master in our mits."
The Furious Five smiled at Hélándòu (Tigress forced herself), but Shifu growled in a low voice so no one could hear him.
Hélándòu looked at his yeye and reach for him to see if he was proud. Shifu just looked blankly, then just walked out.
Hélándòu's smile slowly turned into a frown, as did the others. He didn't want him to be mad at him. He hoped he didn't, he wanted yeye to be proud. But why isn't he...?
"Yeye?" Hélándòu asked.
