"How could you, Po?" screamed a hysterical Tai Lung, hitting Po again and again with strength he had not known he possessed.

"How could I what? How could I protect you? How could I keep him from hurting you?" Po shouted in equal volume, blocking attack after attack.

"No," breathed Tai Lung, energy depleted, standing mostly still. "How could you lie to me? When I asked if I was your mate, you lied, didn't you? You hated me that much? Was I that terrible?"

Dropping to his knees, Po following suit, Tai Lung began to cry, ignoring Po as he wrapped sturdy arms around him, holding him close as he replied, "No, Tai. I love you that much. I'm not going to give you all the details, but…"

Po trailed off. If he told Tai Lung, even only that much, would he regain his memories? What would happen to him? Should he risk it?

Pushing the snow leopard down, he shouted, "Yes, okay? I hate you! I never want to see you again! You are an unfaithful, cheating twerp!"

And with that, Po ran, unable to look back and see the horror on his brother's face.

He had screwed up pretty badly, but he knew that it would be better if Tai Lung never even knew about them. Maybe he could even, finally, go and pay his dues to the others. After all, he had to tell them about Crane.

Crane.

He had last seen him on the Plains of Enlightenment, but now that he had disobeyed, he would likely never see him again. It pained him to think about it, and, by then, he almost wished he had just told Tai Lung the truth, but that would have been selfish, and Master Oogway and Master Shifu and even his father had all taught him better than that.

Sighing, ignoring his tears, Po began his silent trek back to the Jade Palace for his last goodbyes.
