On the beginning of this chapter, Musaki feels intimidated by Tigress and later on, they're all gathered around for dinner and everything's cool now...hopefully. Hope this makes any sense.


Chapter 9: First Dinner

A couple of hours has passed by and Musaki was walking towards the hallways of the bunkhouse and all of a sudden, one door opens quickly, which startled him and he turned around and saw it was only Tigress. He sighed disgustedly and said, "Oh, it's only you."

She stared at him and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Does it matter to you?"

"I heard about what happened."

Musaki definitely felt like this was gonna be a main point where she can actually blackmail him or something like that. She sensed fear in his eyes and he asked, "Who told you that?"

"Nobody told. I know what goes on around here, so don't think I don't know."

"Nobody's supposed to know that I wet myself just once."

She came towards him and asked, "Just once?"

"Why are you making this such a big deal, anyway? What's done is done."

"Maybe if I tell Master Shifu and the others about this situation..."

"Little late. Shifu already knew."

"He's quick, but I think the others have not."

"Po and Splinter already knew too."

"Well, then. I'm gonna find some way to humiliate you over this ordeal."

Musaki gasped in shock, then he said, in a menacing voice, "You wouldn't dare."

"Watch me."

Musaki felt as if his life is gonna be completely scarred for life in embarassment and asked, "Why are doing this to me?"

"I convinced Raphael to torment you while he's here."

Musaki quivered his lip and gasped in silent shock. Then, he whispered, "It was you."

She folded her arms and said, "That's right. Both of us are gonna make your life miserable, whether you like it or not."

"Shifu is gonna want to hear about this."

She stopped him by grabbing his ankle and he fell down to the ground, then she picked him in, slammed him to the wall with her claws on his shoulders. Musaki panted heavily, but tried to remain calm as possible. She looked at him very angry-like and said, "If you tell anyone about this, I will kill you...literally."

Musaki scoffed and he smirked at her, saying, "You have no power over me."

"Well, once I scratch you, you'll regret saying these words."

He rolled his eyes and said, "You're wasting my time. I do not need to take this."

He tries to release her grips, but she refused to do so. All of a sudden, Shifu comes out of nowhere and said, "Tigress...let him go."

She breathed heavily and Musaki looked terribly nervous to find out what's gonna happen if she doesn't let him go. Then, he asked, "Please?"

"I saw everything from here. If you think you're gonna make his life miserable with Raphael, you've got another thing coming."

"What makes you think that?"

"I overheard your conversation and Musaki's situation has been taking care of. Can we just stop the madness?"

Tigress stared at Shifu for a while, then turned to Musaki and she sighed heavily and set him free. He turned to Shifu and said, "Thanks."

"You are welcome."

Musaki walks off, but then stops and tells Tigress, "You've really gone off the deep end of your brain. One of these days, you'll regret that you've tortured me."

"And why is that?"

"Because...I'm a member of this family and the least thing you can do is deal with it."

"You're not the boss of me."

"Don't I know that much? Just do not mess with me."

"Musaki, head over to the kitchen. We'll start dinner soon."

"Okay."

Musaki walks in the kitchen, but not before he looks at Tigress and sticks his tongue at her and raises his nose with his finger, which made her heated and then, she quickly came to the kitchen, but he came in first and closed the door. She backs out, but Musaki opens the door and said, "Musaki and door: one, Tigress: nix!"

"Oh, you little-!"

"What are you gonna do about it? Nothing!"

"Musaki!" Shifu shouted.

"Okay, okay. I know when I can stop."


Several minutes later, everyone gathers around for dinner and Musaki sat in the middle next to Shifu and Splinter as they await Po's cooking. Splinter looks at him and asked, "You okay, Musaki-san?"

"Of course."

"Is it all right to call you 'Saki-san'?"

"Whatever you want."

"So, how long have you been cooking, Po?" asked Leo.

"For quite sometime now. I mean, I work at my dad's noodle shop and make noodles with him. It's pretty much what I do there."

"Is it difficult?"

"Sometimes, but not really."

"You know, I've never even met your dad before and I'm just curious. What does he look like?" asked Zeke.

Po knew that his dad was in a different species and told Zeke, "I'll tell you about him pretty soon, but what I will say is that he's pretty different from me."

"How different?"

"Short and noodly."

"Speaking of noodles, when are we gonna eat?" asked Crane.

"Right now."

Po puts in several bowls in front of everyone, including their new guests. He looks at them and said, "Hope you guys like it."

He looks at them eating, wondering if they like it or not. Splinter tastes it first and then, a huge sigh of relief comes out and said, "This is excellent."

Donny takes the next taste and feels totally blown away from this. He said, "Sensei's right. It is good."

"Yeah, this really does taste good." Leo said.

"Po, how'd you learn how to cook like that? This is amazing." Zuko said.

"I've tasted better." Raph said.

Everyone turned to Raph and Musaki asked, "What do you mean, 'I've tasted better'? It tastes awesome."

"Are you sure this is made by this guy?"

"Are you questioning Po's cooking?"

"Not questioning. Just wondering."

"Dude, you'd be crazy if you didn't taste it."

"Plus, you have not even touched it." Splinter said.

Raph looked at it, then looks at Po and sighs heavily and said, "All right, fine. I'll taste it."

Shifu looked at Splinter and he looks at him and they both nodded their heads as a sign that says, 'Raphael is gonna do some heavy training tomorrow.' Then, they look at Raph and taste the soup and for a few seconds, it seemed to sink in. He looks at Po and said, "I wave the red flag. I admit it, this is pretty cool."

"Thank goodness. I thought for sure if you didn't like it, I'd cry all night." Po said.

"We won't be hearing that for a while." Crane said.

"Michaelangelo, have you tasted it?" asked Splinter.

He looked at Splinter and said, "Oh, sorry, sensei."

He took a spoonful of noodles and puts it in his mouth and then, he swallowed it. After a few seconds, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Wow, this is awesome! It's not pizza, but I would take this thing back to New York and put it on there."

"Pizza?" asked Musaki.

Splinter sighed and said, "My sons crave for pizza back from where we're from."

"Do they now?"

"Yep."

"How'd you make it so awesome, Po?" asked Mikey.

"My dad's secret ingredient."

"Cool."

"I think we're all gonna get along just fine, right Musaki?" asked Splinter.

"I hope so."


Everything's cool now and next chapter, Musaki is telling Splinter everything about his past. I'll post it later on!
