Secrets

Chapter 6 - His Return

Tigress had now turned to her friends who were extremely confused. The three cubs had then stepped forward and arranged themselves in a line. Tigress said,

"Um, guys these are my children," Everyone had a horrified look in their eyes.

"This is Lili, my youngest child, " Tigress said while pointing to the youngest cub, who waved shyly. Tigress had now pointed to the only male cub and said,

"This is my son, CJ,"

"You know, it's a real bummer being the middle child and growing up with two sister," Lili then gave him a hard head slap," Hey!"

While pointing to Lili, he whispered," Watch out for her, she only looks sweet,"

Lili rolled her eyes and Tigress couldn't help but giggle. Tigress continued,

"And finally this is my eldest daughter Tai," But Tai wasn't listening. She was staring straight at Shifu with a wrathful expression. She said,

"Hello Shifu,"

Shifu gulped and replied with a shaken voice,

"Hello Tai, I hope you're well..." He was cut off by Tai.

She screamed while pointing one of her guns to his forehead,

"Well? Are you kidding me? You made my life hell! You are the reason why I had to pretend to smile for the first five years of my god damn life! You murdered my childhood and never looked back!"

Everyone was now afraid, very afraid, for Master Shifu's life.

"Tai, It's alright, just put down the gun sweetheart," Tigress reassured her in a calm voice.

"Nothing is alright Mum, it never has been and it never will," Tai insisted, now a tear falling from her cheek. Tai took another painful look at Shifu and then ran to her mother's arm to cry in them. Tigress started to sing to calm her daughter down.

Tigress:

I promise, I love you,

Everything will work out fine,

Don't try to grow up yet,

Awww, just give in sometimes,

The pain you feel is real,

You're not asleep, but it's a night-mare,

But you can wake up anytime,

Don't lose your passion or the fighter that's inside of you,

You're the girl I used to be,

The messed up, complicated eleven year old me.

Tigress' song had worked and Tai had stopped crying.

Tai smiled at her mother and said, "Thanks mummy,"

Tigress gave Tai another hug and said, "That's alright sweetheart,"

"How touching," echoed a voice from the shadows. You could only just make out the well-built figure in the shadows. It stepped out of the shadows and more into the light. They recognised him. It was...Tai Lung.

A/N: Wow! Tai Lung is back, baby! And better than ever! What did Shifu do to Tai? Who is Tigress' lover? Is this story complicated or what?! By the way, da song that Tigress was singing was called "conversations with my thirteen year old self by P!nk. R&R please...pretty please, I'm desperate!
