Chapter 9
Two days after Crane's talk with Tigress, everything was starting to look better for everyone. Kind of, Po and Song were still dating, and Tigress still loved Po, but she always saw him happy, and she wanted to be a good friend and support him. And for her, even if it hurt her to smile when Po talked about his date, she still did it.
But Po also started noticing how he felt more comfortable with Tigress. How he enjoyed spending time with her, maybe even more than his dates with Song. He also started to realize that whenever she entered the same room or they made eye contact, his heart flutter, and he felt a million knots in his stomach, something that he didn't feel with Song. Something he wished to keep feeling though, but disappeared as soon as Tigress did.
However, Song was getting uncomfortable with the 'friendship' Po and Tigress had. She knew that Tigress loved her boyfriend, and even though she hadn't done anything to try to steal him, she was doing something else, piece by piece, she was making Po fall for her. She could clearly see that Po always smiled when Tigress came. How he always talked with her, how he seemed happier with her than on their dates. And she didn't like that.
She wasn't the type that was over protective about their boyfriends or anything, but she was starting to think that Tigress was a threat to their relationship, maybe the feline didn't see it, but she did, and she wasn't going to let her take Po away.
The next day…
All of the masters where over at the training hall, going through the course countess times, until they made minimal mistakes or decreased their time. Song sometimes joined them, but since she wasn't an advanced kung Fu fighter, she usually got really behind, that or she couldn't keep up, or she would get hurt since she didn't have the resistance, sometimes she even wondered how Tigress managed to hit all that stuff without expressing a single hint of pain, unlike the others who sometimes did, Tigress always kept a straight, determined face.
For the time being, she had decided to just stay there and watched them. This time Master Shifu made them to spar. Again, Song wasn't really skilled with that, so whenever they were sparring she just went to the sidelines and watch, because if she did participate, she would get hurt… really bad. Mostly if her partner is Tigress, then she would be death, Tigress could all make it seem as if it were part of training, something that really scared her.
As she was watching the end of Viper's and Monkey's match, she was wondering who was going to go next. Master Shifu pointed to Tigress, at which she just rolled her eyes at, but then her heart stopped when Shifu also announced Po's name.
Seriously! They are both going, together! Ok, at least they are going to be hitting each other, not kissing or talking, or anything romantic.
After reassuring herself, she just nodded and her eyes went into the match.
She saw how Po was staring at Tigress with dreamy eyes. She narrowed her eyes. Tigress stepped closer and started to deliver punches, luckily Po was able to avoid each one of them. Then it was his turn to play offense. He started to throw kicks, which Tigress had a hard time blocking. But being the determined feline she is, she started to level up with his strategies.
They were both putting up a great effort, it seemed that they had the same amount of power, that they were both equal.
Song saw how Tigress was looking at Po. She still hold that spark on her eyes, and much to her dismay, Po was now returning it.
She was thinking about what she could do to throw either one of them off balance, which will give advantage to the other, making one of them win and the match over.
She was looking around and saw the button to make the course start. She smiled and went over to it, she purposely accidentally leaned into it. She grinned.
All of a sudden, movement fill the training hall, and noise came blurting out. Tigress and Po stopped and started to look around to see what happened. Tigress quickly identify it, and knew that someone might have accidently set the course, not knowing it was Song. Po was still distracted. Tigress smiled and saw this as her chance to strike.
She got into her fours, and watched the panda, who was turning around, she then pounced on him, using her arms to pin him to the ground. Po smiled at her.
"That's not fair!" He started to say, still pinned.
"Of course it is. I win" Tigress said, wearing a smug grin on her face.
That was when they noticed how close their faces were to each other. Somehow, Tigress wanted to let go of him, knowing her already had a girlfriend, but she just couldn't. And Po was staring at her eyes, her beautiful scarlet eyes, the ones that had being invading his dreams. Slowly without realizing it, they started to lean closer to each other, their lips about to meet each other, Po closing his eyes, putting one of his hands around her waist. Tigress's eyes were fluttering, she knew it was wrong, but it was wrong enough to make it feel right. And she enjoyed the warm feeling of Po's hand around her.
They both closed their eyes, waiting for the impact, until they heard some loud footsteps, which could only belong to a certain other feline. Song. She had been watching the whole scene, hiding, but as she saw that both of them were almost kissing, she started to stomp towards them.
Tigress quickly let go of him, and stood up, brushing the dust of her vest. Song was now looking at her and Po, even though she had just shown up, she knew what was going on.
"I am going to go meditate now" Tigress said in her monotone voice, then started to exit. Song was stealing glances at her and Po.
Then her attention went fully to Po.
"So what were you two doing?" She said in her high-pith voice. Pretending that she didn't just see that. Po tensed up and started to stand up.
"We… we were sparring" Po said, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Did you win!?"
"I...I lost, you know how Tigress is, she is really strong" Po said, his voice lighting up when he mentioned Tigress. Song frowned a little, that expression was not what she wanted to see.
"Mmm, I see. Which reminds me, I need to talk to Tigress, so I will see you later ok?" She then left, turning her flirty smile, to an angry frown.
She went inside the barracks, making sure no one else was there, except Tigress. Whom she knew was mediating in her room.
After making sure it was empty, she walked to Master Tigress door and knock.
She waited there for a couple of seconds, until Tigress finally opened it.
"Hey Song, what can I help you with?" Tigress said. She still disliked her, but she was mature enough to hide it, and besides that didn't mean she was going to be rude.
"Oh, don't you act innocent" Song said sarcastically, changing her tone… completely. Tigress widen her eyes, and looked at Song, not knowing what she was talking about.
"Act innocent about what?" She asked. Song did a grimace and rolled her eyes.
"I know you love Po, and I know today you two were about to kiss" Song said, glaring at her.
"OK, I have no idea how you knew, but yes, I love him" Tigress said, not denying anything. Which only gave Song less things to argue about, something that annoyed her.
"And when we were about to kiss, I'm not completely at fault here. He was also leaning into it. I know it wasn't appropriate, so I apologize for that" Tigress said, she was mad, but she wasn't going to show it. But Song was really upset.
"Don't you blame him for that! I'm just going to tell you one thing…." She got closer to her.
"Don't try anything, he is MINE. He will never love you. And he already has a girlfriend, which is me" She said, not hiding her bitterness. Tigress was shocked to see such a change on her. She felt a little bit hurt, but Song wanted to see that, and she wasn't going to give it to her. So her reaction was nothing like Song expected to be.
She smiled at her. Song leaned back, confused.
"Did you heard me!? Paws off him!" Song yelled. Tigress continued to smile.
"Ok, I will… try" Tigress replied, making an emphasis on try. She smirked, she knew that wasn't the nicest thing to do, but it was fun pissing off Song.
Song was glaring at her, and Tigress was glaring right back at her, her arms crossed, with a grin on her face. It was a competition for both of them. That was until Po came in, making them part their gaze.
"Hey Ti, hey Song" Po greeted, looking at both of them, but then staring at Tigress. Song noticed that and frowned, she stepped closer to him. Part of her was annoyed how Po had a nickname for Tigress and not her.
"So what were you guys talking about?" Po asked.
"Oh, just girl stuff, right?" then she looked over at Tigress.
"Yeah, of course" She glanced at her then back at Po.
"Hey sweetie, I'm hungry, mind cooking for me" Song said, tracing circles with her fingers in Po's chest, the corner of her eyes looking at Tigress. Tigress was holding back a growl, clenching her teeth, making her jaw hurt. Song was a great actress, she had to admit that, and now, now she was taunting her!
"Sure, do you want anything Ti?" Po asked her, but before she got a chance to respond, Song cut her off.
"I'm sure she is fine" Song then leaned on her toes and pressed her lips firmly against Po's, wrapping her arms around his neck. She opened one of her eyes to make sure Tigress was watching, she was. She was watching a very mad feline, she smiled onto the kiss, and closed her eyes.
Tigress was biting the bottom of her lips, pressing her claws into her arms, glaring at both of them, mostly at Song.
Oh that b*tch! How dare she kisses him in front of my face!
Po quickly opened his eyes, taken by surprise, once he caught a glance of Tigress, he saw how uncomfortable she was. He immediately broke the kiss.
"I'm going to go cook now…" He turned around, leaving Song with her lips still puckered up. He was exiting the dormitories, but before he left, he turned around and saw Tigress once last time, who had a small smile on the corners of her lips. He smiled at her and left.
Song was looking at Tigress. She was about to speak up when Tigress interrupted her.
"Well, good night" She turned around and went inside her room, shutting the door behind her. Song was standing there, she was burning with anger. This was not going according to her plan.
With Tigress…
She was smiling to herself. For the first time in a long time, she actually felt happy, she felt the butterflies again.
Song thinks I'm a threat, meaning that Po might like me. Which means… I still have a chance with him!
For her it seemed that her luck was finally starting to turn around, but was it really?
Cliff hanger!
Anyway, I will be updating soon, hoped you liked the chapter, again, I tried really hard not to make Song so….mean. But yeah, believe me, it was hard. Oh and leave your reviews! Help me reach another 3! Which reminds me… thanks for everything and I'm glad you guys are enjoying the story!
