Damage Repair

Tigress was training with the wooden dummies, crying a little. "Okay," Lee said as Mei, Po, and him stayed out of sight, "Just remember, subtle heart-felt apology. Make it come from the heart."

"But be kind and subtle," Mei reminded. She patted him on the back. "Good luck." Po went into the Training Hall. Once Tigress saw him, her anger started to come back. She furiously continued to punch the dummies.

"What are you doing here panda? Come to try and apologize for what you did? Well, you can try but it won't work," Tigress said sternly. Po was silent for a while. Tigress stopped punching the dummies to see why he was so quiet. "Well?" Po crossed his arms as he had on an emotionless face.

"You know, you have no right to be angry at me for this," Po said blaming her. Mei face-palmed herself. Subtle.

"Bup! He said-"

"I know what he said!" Mei said shutting Lee up. Tigress was thrown off by the accusation and forgot her anger for a while.

"That's not much of an apology," She stated.

"It's not suppose to be," Po said with a stern look.

"You kept the knowledge of my parents away from me, didn't tell me that I am prophesied to destroy Japan, and kept the fact that you're a samurai," Tigress said trying to contain her anger.

"And you are living today!" Po shot back. This made Tigress step back at his outburst. "Do you really think I didn't tell you just because I thought you wouldn't like me. No, I did it so that you would be safe. That's my job as Dragon Warrior and as a samurai. Look, I can live with the fact that you will not see me as a friend, not like you ever did, but as long as you are alive and safe, I can die in peace. I didn't tell you for your own safety, not for my convenience." Po said nearly yelling and with a bout of fury in his voice. Tigress was a tad frightened. This was a side of Po she had never seen in her life.

"But," She started quietly, "But what about the samurai thing?"

"You can blame me for that, but you can't blame me for the other stuff. I'm responsible for everyone, especially my friends, even if they hate me," Po spoke with sternness. Tigress's ears lowered as her eyes looked down to the floor.

"Po I...I don't hate you," Tigress said quietly.

"So what about-"

"I was just angry that my past was kept away from me," Tigress confessed, "I'm...I'm sorry. I've always seen you as a friend." Po surprised her with a hug.

"It's okay." he said as Tigress hugged back, "I could tell you more about your parents if you'd like." Tigress smiled. The panda was back.

"That would be nice. And Po," She said frowning, "I'm sorry for being so mean to-"

"Forget about it, Tigress," Po waved off.

"But I was so mean to you. And that was the same reason you ran away," Tigress reminded him.

"It doesn't matter," Po smiled. Tigress hugged him.

"Thanks Po," She said. Then Mei and Lee came out of their hiding spot.

"You know NOTHING about being subtle, do you?" Mei said with her hands on her hips.

"I've been around tigers long enough to figure out how they'll listen. In her world, that was subtle," Po replied.

"No it wasn't," Tigress corrected.

"Hey, it worked, didn't it?" Po said.

"So, what about this Jin-Min Warrior. Am I really prophesied to destroy Japan?" Tigress asked fearing the answer.

"I don't see how," Lee said, "We're at peace with the Jin-Min." This surprised both Tigress and Po.

"But we've been at war with the Jin-Min for years," Po stated.

"Yes, but the leader of the Jin-Min has been killed by a certain cat friend of yours, Tiger," Mei explained. Po's mouth dropped.

"You mean the brother of Tigress is the leader of the Jin-Min now?" Po exclaimed. He covered his mouth when he remembered Tigress was right beside her. "Whoops, did I forget to mention that you had a brother?"

"You did," Tigress glared at him, "But even if that's true, then why be concerned about me?"

"We're more or less here to take you to Tiger. You see, while the Jin-Min are truly our friends now, they have one person that doesn't like the peace," Mei explained.

"Wong-Hu?" Po said knowingly. The dog and cat nodded. "Wong-Hu use to be the general of the Jin-Min."

"But when the peace treaty was signed, he mysteriously disappeared. Now there is an anarchy popping up and Wong-Hu is at the center of it all," Lee explained.

"So what's the plan?" Tigress asked.

"First, we're taking you to Tiger. Then we're going back to Japan where Po will help Mei and I fight Wong-Hu," Lee said. Tigress crossed her arms.

"That sounds good, but what about the others and Master Shifu and Master Yijiro?" She asked.

"The rest of the Furious Five will stay at an guard post to stay as backup. Master Shifu and Master Yijiro will stay here attending to the Jade Palace. We'll have Master Chou here as well," Mei replied.

"I get to finally see where I came from. And more importantly, why I was put here," Tigress said thoughtfully.

"Come on, pack your bags. We're leaving in the morning," Lee instructed.

"Sure thing, Tu-tu!" Po said teasingly. Lee flinched as Mei laughed.

"Who's tu-tu?" Tigress asked Po.

"Well since Lee is the Two-side Samurai, we nicknamed him Tu-tu. Mei has a nickname too: Milady."

"And did you have a nickname?" Tigress asked with a smirk.

"Yeah, since I was Zaber, I was nicknamed: Zing-Zing," Po replied, "Anyways, you better get some sleep. We have a big day tomorrow."

To be continued.

There! The Prawn's out of the story. HAPPY?
