Chapter 5: Mad – Ne-Yo

xxxxxxxxx

She's staring at me, I'm sitting wondering what she's thinking

Ummm nobody's talking, 'cause talking just turns into screaming (oh,)

And now as I'm yelling over her, she yelling over me,

All that that means is neither of us are listening,

And what's even worse, that we don't even remember why we're fighting

xxxxxxxxx

Po started at Tigress who sat in front of him. They are inside the kitchen. Both of them shouting earlier when they entered that triggered the rest of the Furious Five and Master Shifu to leave the two of them alone.

The two had been together for four months now. Their relationship was of pure love and happiness. Well of course still Po being himself and Tigress being the hardcore. Master Shifu objected to their relationship at first but seeing the love between the two agreed to their relationship. Everyone else were happy for them including Mr Ping who had hopes of the two being married and giving him a grandchild.

Back to the present, the two are staring intently against each other. Both trying to hold back what they want to say because they know a screaming match would start again.

"Just say it Po. Tell me that you no longer want me." Tigress then screamed after a while of silence.

"What are you saying Tigress? Can you just please stop this?" Po sighed in frustration as he stood from his seat. They had never fought before and this is all new to him.

"Why do you want her more than you want me? She's more feminine? Her father is the superintendent? She uses a lot of make-up?"

Po kicked the chair in front of him. They've been going at this since he returned from escorting Superintendent Woo's daughter Ming. The latter gave him a simple kiss on his cheeks as she left that Tigress saw.

"I am here, aren't I? If I wanted her I would be with her now." Po said as he left the kitchen and went into his room but Tigress caught up with him and entered his room.

She started throwing stuff to him as she screamed. "Well I don't need you, Po. You don't need to make me feel as if we are only together because you had no choice."

Po blocked everything she threw until his anger got the best of him and threw a vase on the wall behind Tigress. It didn't hit her not that it was meant to. He just needed to vent out.

xxxxxxxxx

So both of us are mad for nothing (fighting for),

Nothing (crying for),

Nothing (ooh,h)

But we won't let it go for nothing (don't let for),

Nothing.

It should be nothing

To a love like what we got oh, baby

xxxxxxxxx

Tigress was surprised. She knew that Po didn't mean to throw the vase next to her but nonetheless she was shocked to see the frustration in Po. Tears fell into her eyes as she felt her knees become weak and she slid down to the floor.

Po didn't mean it. But his frustration got him. Slowly, he walked towards Tigress and sat in front of her.

xxxxxxxxx

I know sometimes it's gonna rain,

But baby can we make up now

'cause I can't sleep through the pain (can't sleep through the pain)?

Girl I don't wanna go to bed mad at you

And I don't want you to go to bed mad at me

No I don't wanna go to bed mad at you

And I don't want you to go to bed mad at me (oh, no)

xxxxxxxxx

"I… I'm sorry, Tigress." This just made Tigress sob louder. "I didn't mean it. I was just mad. But please listen to me." He tried to reach her but she just swept his hand away.

xxxxxxxxx

And it gets me upset girl when you're constantly accusing

(asking questions like you already know)

We're fighting this war, baby, when both of us are losing

(this ain't the way that love is supposed to go. What happened to working it out?)

We fall into this place where you ain't backing down, and I ain't backing down,

So what the hell do we do now?

xxxxxxxxx

"Tigress please listen to me. I would never want another girl but you. I love you so much."

Tigress though didn't seem to listen and just glared angrily at him not speaking another work. "Tigress please. I am so sorry. Please stop accusing me of cheating because I'd rather die than hurt you."

"You're hurting me now." Tigress silently said.

He knew that she didn't mean it physically. "I know and want to unhurt you because I was not unfaithful. I didn't even like Ming. She's too bossy. We settled our differences though while we were out and she just kissed my cheek."

"And you seem to like it."

"No way, Tigress. The only one I want to kiss and to kiss me is you. No one else."

xxxxxxxxx

Oh, baby this love ain't gon' be perfect (perfect, perfect oh, no)

And just how good it's gonna be

We can fuss and we can fight

Long as everything is alright

Between us before we go to sleep...

xxxxxxxxx

Tigress remained silent although Po can feel that she is close into forgiving him. "Look I am not perfect, I mess around a lot, I still manage to piss you off and I goof around a lot but there's one thing I would never make a joke of and that's our love. I won't disgrace you by liking another girl. Because you are worth more than them. Yes Ming is feminine but I like hardcore. Yes she wears make-up but you are still more beautiful without any. And I don't ever want you to wear those because you are more beautiful without it. And yes she's the superintendent's daughter but come on, you are Master Tigress. The one I had a crush on since I was young. The one I thought I could only touch in my dreams. But you are mine as I am yours. I could never ask for a better life. So please, please, please Tigress, can we make up now coz I can't bear the pain in my heart anymore."

Tigress looked at the tears that are about to fall on Po's face. She knew that he is telling her the truth. But her jealousy clouded her judgment. Finally she spoke. "I am sorry for doubting you Po."

"It's my fault. I should always remind you that I love you. Guess I failed in doing that that's why you doubted me."

"No… never… you are the only one who made me feel special. I was just jealous." She then hugged him. "I love you my Dragon Warrior."

"And I love you Master Tigress." Po then captured her lips for a sweet kiss ending their troubles.
