Wow, what a long time! So sorry you guys but I have a chapter, do I have my in inspiration back? No, no I don't but I'll really try as I really want to finish this story. Well I'll just let you read now ;D


It was night and as the camp was done everybody sat around a huge campfire. The sun was already down and the only light you could see were some lights of the Chengyang village and the huge fire itself. But besides the dark shadows of the trees, it gave a beautiful red-orange glow.
As they were sitting around the fire some were telling stories, while the others were listening. Others played little games, while some were just staring into the fire while eating (much to Po's desire). Shifu and Kun were discussing about how things would go from now on, as were the Masters and the Traveling Shadows (save Luan and Kuan, because they were chasing each other around camp again).

"So everybody thinks you're dead, right?" Po asked, followed by nods from everybody else.

"Then we have two awesome, secret weapons!" He exclaimed happily, while holding up one fist and eating a dumpling with the other.

The group let out a big sigh at his response.

"Leave it to Po, to make this into that" Mantis replied, while finishing with his food.

"But somehow he has a point" Shui said, giving the panda a reason for a victory smile.

"Anyway… Tigress, do you already know how general Kun is going to help you restore your memory?" Crane asked.

"Well, no, I don't. But if it will help, that doesn't matter to me" Tigress replied.

"I wonder what it will be," Viper said.

"Me too" Rue responded.

Later they were interrupted by Shifu, who came walking towards them with general Kun.

"I think it's getting late we better get some goodnight rest" Kun spoke.

"The same goes for us" Shifu told his students.

And soon things were cleaned up, guards that would switch after a few hours were chosen and they went into their tents (even Rue).

After two days had passed the word about the Master had already spread over camp and they had been learning new people everyday. Some turned into really good friends like Guo, Ju and a few others, while others just wanted to fight in battle and that's that.
The Masters were still following their usual training schedule (much to Po's disappointment) and Shifu noticed that Rue was already making progress. Even though they had been training hard and there was still a lot to work on, the Master and warriors in camp also had some fun. Like sitting around a campfire and sharing stories, or it were Po, Monkey, Luan and Kuan who were running around camp again or making up pranks much to Zhi's annoyance as it seemed they were particularly choosing him for their pranks. Kun had also been trying to help Tigress get her memory back but not with much success.

The next day Kun took Tigress a little outside the camp, to a little peaceful place in the woods, as he said.

"Where are we going?" Tigress asked, she usually didn't complain about walking but she got annoyed because Kun didn't want to tell her where they were going. And she already was annoyed because after two days of trying she still didn't remember anything from he past.

"I told you, you'll see it when we get there" Kun responded.

After Tigress let out another sigh she gave up and just continued to walk after Kun. When they eventually reached the little place it was a little circle formed field that was surrounded by trees. The river that surrounded Chengyang flowed peacefully next to it and in the middle of the field were about nine other tigers, sitting in meditating position.

"Wow, what is this?" Tigress asked, while looking around her.

"Because the other manners didn't work, we'll try group meditation" Kun answered. "You can sit over there," he said, after sitting down himself and pointing at a spot for her. Not knowing Rue had followed them and also set down near a tree, just close enough to hear them. After she sat down, she felt the glances of the other tigers resting on her.

"Tigress, meet the other nine survivors of the Zhen village, they've agreed to help me with getting your memory back" Kun said. And as Tigress looked at the tigers she actually hoped she would recognize them, but sadly, she didn't.

"Okay," Kun started. "I want you all to close your eyes and let all thoughts flow away, now think about only one thing… The attack on the Zhen village. If it becomes to much for some, you can always quit. Now try to share you memories with the others," Kun said.
As Tigress also relaxed her body memories of others reached her mind. She saw the attack on many points of visions and started to recognize some places in the village. Eventually she also started to recognize people, names and how she had to run…


Fire. That was all she could hear, see and smell. Burning houses, running and screaming people being murdered; her own friends hiding in their houses and then running to her mom and dad.

"Mom! They're attack the village! Where's dad?" A 7 year old Tigress screamed, while running to her mother.

"Don't worry, sweetie. It'll be okay." Her mother replied, while grabbing her daughter's paw and running to her other daughter's room.

"I want daddy!" Tigress screamed again, while running with her mother.

"I know, but first we're going to get your baby sister and then daddy will come to us." She replied, trying to keep her calm.

As they had reached the room now her mother still hold onto her paw and with her free arm scooped up the cub that was sleeping peacefully. The moment she looked at her children, she had to do her best not to cry. Why was this happening to them? As she rushed to the living room again, she was met by her husband.

"Gan, we need to go," she almost begged him.

"I know Kyona but I can't. I need to stay here with the other men that are fighting. You need to run with the girls."

"But I-" Kyona started but was interrupted by a firework that was thrown into the house.

"You need to go now! I need to fight for the village, and handle Bao." Gan said.

As Kyona started to run with her daughters, she looked at what was over of the village and that wasn't much. Then she spotted Kun.

"Kun!" She yelled over the noise.

As the tiger turned around he saw who had yelled his name: "Kyona? Where is Gan?" He yelled back.

As she reached him, she was already panting: "He's gone off… to fight Bao, you… need to help him."

"Okay, but you must keep going." Kun replied, while also taking off in the direction of his younger brother.

She did continued to run but it wasn't long before he way was blocked by one of Bao's helpers.

"Sweetie," she said while kneeling and turning towards Tigress. "I need you to take your sister and run, okay?"

"Run? But I don't want to leave you and dad!" She replied, with fear in her eyes.

"I know, I know but you need to run. Promise me you'll run, and take care off your little sister" Kyona said, close to tears now.

"O-Okay, mommy," Tigress eventually gave in. Kyona gave Tigress and the cub in her arms and one last hug: "I love you. Daddy and I love you both."

"I love you too mommy," she replied with tears in her eyes before running away. As she looked back one more time she saw how her mom fought the helper before more came and took her to Bao.

She ran and ran but couldn't go back. It wasn't safe. As she looked down at her little sister she realized she wouldn't be able to take care for her. She was only seven!
She had already been running and resting for two days through the woods without seeing anyone when suddenly, she heard voices. They sounded like… children? No there were a few adults too. Tigress hid behind a tree and saw three sheep with a few children but those weren't their own.

"Orphans?" Tigress whispered. "If I can't take of you," she said, while looking down at her sister: "Maybe they can".

Tigress waited till the night before she sneaked into the camp and laid her sister in the tent of the adults, she shook it a little so they would wake up and ran again. As she didn't see where she was going she tripped hit her head on something hard and was later found by someone she didn't even knew.
The next thing she knew she woke up in Bao Gu Orphanage.


Because of Tigress expression Kun knew she had saw something, he knew she had her memories back.

"Gentlemen thank you for helping you can all go now," he said to the other tigers.

"And Tigress what did you see?" Kun continued while looking at her.

She was panting slightly and her eyes were wide open.

"I-I saw everything: the attack, my parents and you, I saw how I ran and… and I had a sister!" She blurted out at once.

"You saw me?" Kun asked a little confused.

"Yes."

"Alright, do you remember your parents names?" Kun asked calmly.

"Uhm, my mother's name was Kyona and my father's name was… uhm, Gan."

Kun looked down sadly and Tigress noticed it.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"Gan was my little brother. Tigress… I am your uncle," he replied.

"What? But what happened to them?" She asked.

"Your parents didn't survive the attack, I'm sorry." He answered, while still looking down sadly.

"Why? Why did Bao start the attack in the first place?"

"I think it is time I told you a story Tigress."


Even though this felt kinda rushed I still liked the chapter what a story, poor Tigress ;) And next time we'll finally discover why Bao hates them so much ;D
