Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Wolf and Tiger. Enjoy the 4000-word chapter. I don't own Kung Fu Panda, DreamWorks does.

(Jade Palace.)

It was the noise that shook Kiba from his meditation, he had silently stalked to the door. He walked to the main hall, drawing his sword as he did so.

He found his girlfriend, the rest of the Five and Master Shifu, all of them looked calm, prompting Kiba to stealth his blade and pull his hood and scratch down.

"What's going on guys?"

Kiba asked as he stood next to Tigress as they looked at Po, Kiba observed the messy hall, obvious proof that Po had been playing with the priceless relics, something Kiba frowned at.

It was the visitor with Po that bothered him more. Wearing Master Flying Rhino's armor, was a Panda. Normally this probably wouldn't have bothered Kiba in the slightest.

It was the fact that Po had explained that all pandas had been slaughtered by Shen, plus the fact that he neither knew the Panda and the fact that he was wearing legendary armor belonging to one of the best warriors in China which bugged him.

"Who's the Panda?"

Kiba asked as he crossed his arms, he wasn't one for anger, he hadn't been that way since Tai Lung showed up.

"Guys, you're never going to guess who showed up, never in a million years!"

Po yelled as Kiba looked around the hall, dozens of relics were scattered.

"Your father!"

The others yelled as Kiba frowned, he hadn't thought of the fact that Pos birth father would appear, today of all days.

"How did you guys guess? OH, wait a second, yeah, of course. We look entirely the same."

Po started to ask before correcting himself, Kiba didn't move from his spot, not because he didn't trust the Panda, but because he was thinking about something at the moment.

"Dad, say hi to my friends, Mantis, Tigress, Monkey, Crane and Viper… And my best friend Kiba."

Po said as Kiba rolled his eyes but smiled.

"Sure, name me last just because I showed up a minute late, I was meditating Po."

Kiba muttered as Po introduced Shifu as Kiba looked at his claws and walked over.

"Uh, it is an honor to meet you, Master Panda."

Shifu awkwardly stated as Kiba rolled his eyes yet again, if Shifu was going to be acting like this, then when Master Heiwa showed up, it was going to be a train wreck.

The next words Shifu stated made Kiba and Tigress's eyes widen in fear.

"Perhaps your father would care to join us in the training hall…. Your son will be teaching the class."

Shifu stated as Kiba and Tigress shared a look of fear, if the class was as bad as it had looked for Tigress, then Kiba feared being taught by Po just as much as he feared trying to ask Tigress to marry him.

He was saved by the Gong which rung, signaling an attack on the Valley.

"Well, bad guys are here, I'll go engage them so you guys can ambush them, see you guys down in the Valley!"

Kiba stated before sprinting on all 4s out of the room as the five, Po, Shifu and Po's father all watched.

"Man, he must really not want to train… Master Shifu, I think you scared him worse than the time he got shot by Shen."

Monkey stated as Shifu only smiled before the Five, all led by Tigress, then Shifu and finally Po ran out of the room and down to the valley.

(With Kiba.)

Kiba slid down the mountain faster then he did in the morning, he didn't mean to hurt Po, he would hate himself for hurting his best friend's feelings.

Kiba sighed, he would talk to Po later and tell him what he had meant at the time, he pulled up his hood over his head and wrapped his scarf around his face, covering his mouth and neck, he wanted to make several more additions to his appearance and would do so soon.

But the smell of battle and the chance to fight ultimately drew him in as he landed in a crouch on a rooftop and faced a trio of figures, they glowed Green, Kiba looked them over, trying to figure out why.

"What the he-…"

Kiba started to yell as one of the figures fired an arrow at him, Kiba sliced it in half before rushing in, he was kicked in the back but blocked two of the figures Bo Staffs with his blades as he turned and faced the group, Kiba charged them, slicing away the staffs but being knocked to the ground by a kick from the bow wielding figure.

Kiba grunted as the figures surrounded him as he rose, he was about to stealth his blades and rely on paw to paw, something that rarely failed him when Tigress jump kicked the bow wielding monster away, leaving it to crash into a building as the rest of the Furious Five formed up.

"This was softening them up for us?"

Tigress teased as Kiba grunted and blocked both bo staffs without looking with his blades across his back in a 'X' Shape.

"I was trying to figure out how to hurt them, you want to try punching them?"

Kiba asked as the trio attacked the Furious Five, Kiba and Tigress faced off with the bow wielder as Shifu finally arrived, tipping the battle even further into their favor.

Kiba sheathed his blades and kicked the statue before wincing in pain.

"Damn it, that hurt…"

Kiba muttered as they heard Po yelling something, having finally arrived to the battle.

"Enemies of justice, prepare for war!"

Kiba heard Po yell as Kiba grabbed and tossed an arrow to the side as the Panda launched himself into the air.

"Are you kidding me! Whoa!"

Po yelled before slamming into the roof, the entire fight ground to a halt at having seen Po do so as Kiba stopped a kick aimed at his face.

The fighting resumed as Kiba launched the staff wielder onto another roof with a palm strike as Viper and Tigress followed up on this by Viper restraining him with her body.

"What's the deal with the green guys?"

Po asked as Kiba launched himself at the group, he landed next to Tigress and launched a roundhouse kick which knocked the figure back but hurt his foot to do so.

Tigress punched him in the head only to wince in pain, a rare experience for both warriors.

"Some kind of Jade Zombies… Ow, that does hurt."

Tigress stated, muttering the last part as she shook the pain out of her paw.

"Jade Zombies, Jombies, Jinx!"

Kiba heard Monkey and Po yell before the Bow wielder fired an arrow at Kiba which he blocked.

He heard Po talking to his father but focused on fighting the Bo wielder which was starting to force him and Tigress back as she cast his staff before the figure leapt away.

"Oh, do you want me to kiss it and make it better, Ms. 'I don't feel pain from anything?' I told you guys that punching them would hurt, Jade is as strong as iron, Ti."

Kiba teased as Tigress smirked and punched him in the arm as he grunted in pain.

"I recognize these Guys, the Master Badger Twins! With their Crushing Double-Gong Technique!"

Po yelled as the twins knocked Crane away before smashing Po into the roof some more as Kiba rolled his eyes and blocked 2 more arrows with his blades.

"Fanboy later, Po, beat the Jade Zombies now, buddy."

Kiba muttered as he sheathed his blades and lunged at the bow user before he was tossed into another roof, shattering part of it and causing Kiba to grunt in annoyance more than pain.

"And Master Porcupine!"

Po yelled as Tigress and Shifu landed next to him as he helped them up.

"Physical strikes aren't doing much and if they're who Po says they are, their dead so that means they don't feel pain even if we inflect it… We need to hit them hard and fast and make sure it keeps them down."

Kiba muttered as he wiped a small bit of sweat from his forehead before charging back into battle.

"He's getting to be an effective leader since Shen."

Shifu stated as Tigress smiled and lunged back into battle with her boyfriend.

"I really hope he proposes to her soon, she's been waiting since the first year for him to propose."

Shifu muttered before lunging back into battle as well, the battle carried into Ping's shop as Shifu went to assist Po against Master Porcupine.

Kiba tackled one of the Badger twins into the shop before Po flipped over to him, Kiba didn't hear the entire talk between Po and his father but he made out 'Dumplings of Doom'.

Kiba flipped out of the way as Po downed dozens of dumplings before Viper wrapped around him and Tigress pulled on Viper, causing Po to fire the food out of his mouth like a rapid-fire gun, pelting the trio before Kiba and the others lunged at them.

Kiba closed his Blades around the Badger Twin as Tigress pinned another under her foot as they, Shifu, Po and the rest of the Furious Five held the trio down.

"Stay down before I turn you into a pebble."

Kiba growled through his scarf before he and the others heard laughter coming from the trio.

"I see you… Your chi will soon belong to me…"

They said as Kiba frowned.

"Is he talking to me?"

Po asked as Kiba turned to look at him.

"Which one?"

Kiba asked as Tigress rolled her eyes.

"They're all talking, Po."

She deadpanned as Po looked at them.

"Whoa, your right, that's so scary."

Po stated as Kiba and Tigress shared a look as Po kept speaking.

"We should try that, too… Maybe it would be scary back at them."

Po put in before Mantis spoke up in suggestion.

"Ok, but we got to plan out what we want to say first. Otherwise, it wouldn't be scary, it would just be stupid."

Mantis put in as the voice spoke up.

"It's not them talking, you fool! It's me talking through them, Kai!"

Kai stated as Kiba and the others looked at each other.

"Who!?"

They yelled as Kai sighed on his end.

"Ok, ok, ok, Enough! I will have your chi if I must destroy that entire village to do it!"

Kai hissed as Kiba growled at the voice and spoke up, laughing.

"Ok, since no one wants to say something, I will… I don't know who you are, Kai… But know this: you aren't the last evil, world threatening super villain we fought, and your probably not the last… We're probably going to die fighting that fight… But I want you to know this… We've fought a Snow Leopard who wanted ultimate power, we beat him, we fought a power crazed Peacock with an army of canons and soldiers, and beat him… You want to know what they have in common? Their dead, all because of us warriors… So, you come, you bring all you have… And then you're going to end up like them… Because of the Furious Five, The Dragon Warrior, Master Shifu and Master Kiba… You remember that before you try and kill us again and take our chi, ok? We're be waiting."

Kiba hissed out with a smirk as the rest of the group looked at him in shock as Kai laughed on his end.

"You have a deal, Master Kiba… I look forward to seeing you soon…"

Kai hissed as the Jombies turned into amulets and flew into the air.

"Kiba, where did you learn to make a speech like that?! Kai's probably scared half to death because of that!"

Po yelled as Kiba crossed his arms and smiled.

"Eh, made it up on the spot… And it's true, we've beaten the odds twice, this guy should look us up before walking in, thinking he's top dog… Po, we took down every bad guy who's attacked us… Mainly because of you and not us… But we won… Let him come here, we can stop him and his army of… I refuse to say that name, with all due respect Po…. I'm going back to the Jade Palace… My arms are a little worn out from fighting the battle."

Kiba stated before walking away, Tigress followed him as Po looked at Shifu.

"So… Did he just list everything I did, and threaten Kai at the same time while doing it?"

Po asked as the Five and Shifu just nodded in surprise before starting to follow Kiba and Tigress up the stairs to the Jade Palace.

(Jade Palace, 8 Minutes later.)

Kiba put his paw into water, he hissed at the pain and tension coming out of his hand but felt relief after that as he shook the pain out.

"Master Shifu wants to see us in the scroll room."

Kiba heard from Crane as he nodded and followed the Kung Fu master out of the room.

"This is the third powerful bad guy we fought… In life… I'm honestly wondering where they come from, Crane…"

Kiba stated as Crane shrugged and nodded as they kept walking to the room.

"I'm getting used to it, right after Peng and that Kung Fu necklace… You should be used to this, Kiba."

Crane deadpanned, causing Kiba to snort and laugh as they walked.

"Crane, we fought a guy who tried to enslave the Valley with a fake horn, an Owl who used to work with Shifu, and a group of Crocodile bandits… I'm used to it, but Jade Zombies? That's a new one on the crazy scale and you know that as well as I do… Hey, you think I should uh…."

Kiba started to ask as Crane picked up what Kiba was asking and shook his head simply to show he was unsure of what to do at the moment.

"Sorry, Kiba, I couldn't help you with Tigress if I wanted to… She'd kill me if she found out about the ring and found out I didn't tell her."

Crane started to say before they reached the Map Room, Kiba was silent, hoping Tigress wouldn't hear them.

She didn't, Kiba and Crane took their positions in the room, Kiba took his position with Tigress as she smiled at him, he smiled back as Shifu started looking through the box.

"What are you looking for, Master Shifu?"

Kiba asked as Shifu looked up from the box he was digging into to look at the Wolf.

"Kai, there has to be something in the scrolls around here for us to find on him… Sometimes having so much knowledge is a pain, Kiba."

Shifu muttered as Kiba nodded as he found the scroll as Kiba turned to Po's father to speak.

"So, you've been away somewhere the entire time Po was around all that?"

Kiba asked, trying to find something to say at the moment as he nodded.

"Well, yes… But I'm back now…"

Po's father awkwardly said as Kiba nodded, he kept one ear on what Shifu was saying and the other on talking to Po's father.

"Kiba, were you paying attention?"

Shifu asked as Kiba nodded and started to speak up.

"Yes, you were on the part where Kai was brothers in arms with Master Oogway, General of a massive army and Master Oogway was injured in an ambush, right?"

Kiba started to say as Shifu nodded as Kiba smiled and rolled his eyes.

"And you thought I don't listen to you ever…. You were saying?"

Kiba asked as Shifu continued to read the scroll.

"My friend carried me for days, looking for help… Until we came to a secret village, hidden in the mountains… An ancient place of healing… A village of Pandas."

Shifu read as Kiba looked over his shoulder at Po's father then back to the scroll as Po spoke up.

"Pandas!?"

Po asked, knocking Kiba out of the way, much to his anger as he grunted in annoyance before Shifu kept reading.

"Yes, Pandas…. Pandas who used the power of chi to heal me. They taught me how to give Chi… But Kai took a darker path… He wanted that power for himself… While I was busy learning how to give Chi… He perfected taking it… I had to stop him… Our battle shook the earth, until, finally… I banished him to the spiritual realm… Should he ever return to the mortal realm, only a true master of Chi can defeat him."

Shifu finished reading as Po turned to Shifu.

"Like you!"

Po yelled as the Furious Five and Kiba turned to face the Red Panda.

"ME!? I can barely make a flower bloom, I need at least 30 more years, and a cave…"

Shifu stated as Kiba rolled his eyes at this.

"With all due respect, Master Shifu… You said that it would take 50 years for Po to master Inner Peace… Then he mastered it in a few hours… I think you just set Po on the path to learning Chi in like oh…. 30 minutes give or take."

Kiba teased before Tigress slugged him in the shoulder as Kiba rubbed the pain out.

"Well, at least that feels better then punching Jade, Ti."

Kiba said with a smile as the others continued speaking as Kiba turned to Po.

"I can teach you, Son."

Po's father put in as the others turned to him in shock.

"You can do this?"

Po asked as Po's father nodded with a smile.

"Well of course, I'm a panda."

He said simply as Kiba rolled his eyes as Po gasped in joy.

"That must be why the universe sent you! Okay, so what do I have to do?"

Po asked as Kiba looked at his best friend for answers.

"You have to come home with me."

Po's father put in as Kiba frowned, if Kai was strong enough to transform master warriors into Jade Soldiers, then they would need Po with them to fight.

He opened his mouth to speak, but Po cut him off.

"To the secret village?"

Po asked as he got a nod in response.

"Yes, son…. You must rediscover what it means to be a panda, live like a panda, sleep like a panda, eat like a panda."

Kiba heard as Po's father rambled on about dumplings or something. He was thinking about something.

He wanted to say something but Mr. Ping did it for him.

"No, no, you cannot take Po away, I want a second Opinion! Shifu, open another scroll!"

Ping said as Kiba crossed his arms as Shifu shrugged.

"I think he should go."

Shifu stated as Ping grew more distressed by this.

"Fine a third opinion, Monkey, Viper, Tigress… Kiba, you're his best friend, tell Po he shouldn't go!"

Ping ordered as all eyes in the room fell on him as Kiba looked around the room.

"Oh, come on, I'm just a Martial Arts master what do I know?"

Kiba said as Tigress crossed her arms as Kiba turned to face her and sighed, he couldn't lie around her, he hated that.

"Fine, you want my honest opinion… With all due respect, Master Shifu. I think Po should stay."

Kiba muttered as Shifu looked at him with wide eyes.

"Kiba! How could you say that, you just said! -…"

Shifu put in as Kiba threw up his arms in annoyance.

"I knew what I said, I didn't know Kai was some supernatural warlord from the dead! If he's powerful enough to turn people into Jade monsters, then we should have everyone here to fight him! What if Po leaves and Kai shows up and knocks us to the side like driftwood? The last time we got split up, all of us spent a half hour in Gongmen harbor, with Po having to toss cannon balls around to stop him!"

Kiba stated as Po put a hand on his shoulder.

"Then that's why you should stay, Kiba, you and Tigress are the two best warriors the Valley of Peace has… No respect Guys… If Kai does show up, then you will be there to stop him, I know it!"

Po stated as Kiba sighed and turned to look at the others before turning back to Po to clasp his hand.

"Your right, the Jade Palace has its defenders… You better Master Chi then come back and kick Kai's super natural butt the second your back, Po… Im going outside to keep watch, I'm sorry for arguing."

Kiba said before running off to his room to grab the last of his birthday gifts before going outside as Tigress turned to Shifu.

"I'll keep an eye on him, Master."

Tigress stated before running out of the room as Shifu rolled his eyes while Po and his father started to leave.

"I will never understand love like that."

Shifu stated before turning to give orders to the rest of the Five.

(With Kiba)

Kiba strapped a small crossbow on his right arm before looking down at the small amount of smoke bombs he wore on his belt, he reached inside his hood and pulled down a custom mask metal that showed all Master Oogway, Master Shifu and a drawing of him and the rest of the Furious Five etched into the metal.

He started to speak, unaware that Tigress, who was standing on the stairs above the courtyard, could hear him.

"Why did I have to make a fool out of myself there? Why does that bother me, oh wait, I know… Because it means an idiot like me will never have the guts to propose to her…"

Kiba muttered as Tigress, who was confused on what he meant walked a little closer as Kiba kept speaking, lowering himself to a crouch.

"Great going, Kiba, you can outfight an army of criminals, take out dozens of Shen's soldiers no problem, but when it comes to proposing to your girlfriend your useless… Why should I have surprised feelings about that? I haven't found a good way to ask her since she wanted me to propose after a year of dating… Idiot, I'm such a damn idiot sometime… I'll ask her after this is over, maybe nearly dying will give me the guts to ask…"

Kiba finished, shaking his head in annoyance with himself, he didn't know Tigress was around, his hearing was usually spot on but the crisis he was having at the moment prevented him from thinking clearly and hearing her as Tigress stopped, frozen as a statue, trying not figure out what to say to Kiba at the moment.

She decided to say nothing at the moment as the rest of the Five and Master Shifu walked out as Kiba noticed that neither Mantis nor Crane was present.

He was about to speak when Crane flew over his head, answering his question as Kiba turned to Shifu to speak.

"We're sending Crane and Mantis to face Kai along? You know Kai might be too strong for them to fight… Unless you're telling them to spy on Kai and report back."

Kiba muttered, looking up at the sky, Shifu couldn't even see his face anymore due to the mask, scarf and hood but he knew there had to be worry in his eyes.

"Crane will be fine, Kiba… The best thing we can do is wait and figure out what to do next."

Author Notes

Phew, another chapter done! Yes, I know the fight was a little short and the romance was a little meh but I'm building to something. Next chapter will be either next Friday or Thursday. That chapter will show Kiba and the others fighting Kai and his Jombies. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
