Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Wolf and Tiger. Enjoy the 1000-word chapter. I don't own KFP, Dream works and a few others do.
Kiba was meditating at the back of the Jade Palace when Oogway found him, the wolf's eyes were closed as he stood up to face the Kung Fu master.
"Master Oogway, I wasn't expecting anyone to come find me." Kiba said as he opened his eyes and faced the tortoise.
"You are troubled, yes?" Kiba nodded.
"I just don't like to see other pick on people like that, Kung Fu master or not, Shifu and the Five have no right to pick on Po just for not being a warrior." Oogway nodded as began to walk.
"Come." Kiba fell into step with the old master as they continued their talk.
"I can see you and Master Tigress are having…. A dispute?" Kiba growled under his breath at the mention of the Kung Fu master who he had argued with before and had nearly come to blows with 10 minutes ago.
"She needs to learn when to back off, she maybe a master but she acts like a spoiled brat just because she wasn't chosen to become Dragon Warrior." Oogway nodded.
"Go, your friend will need some words of encouragement, I will speak to her and Master Shifu." Kiba nodded and bowed before turning and racing on all fours inside. Oogway laughed out a cheery old chuckle.
"He reminds me of her a bit," And with that, he turned and began the walk to the peach tree.
[Jade palace]
"You ok?" Po nearly jumped before realizing it was Kiba behind him and not Monkey or Crane.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Kiba leaned against the wall before speaking.
"Don't let them get to you, remember, they had to go through training the same way you have to, they didn't start out masters." If Po was reassured by these words, he didn't show it as Po was too deep in thought to notice Kiba walk away.
Tigress was busy training to notice Kiba come in, she smelled him, however.
"I would ask why you hate my friend so much but I can see it clearly, your annoyed he didn't pick you and your taking it out on him like a spoiled brat." Tigress growled and leapt up to land in front of the wolf, the only person she had come to known that hadn't feared her in some way besides Shifu and Oogway.
"He isn't skilled." Kiba laughed and Tigress barely held back from decking him.
"And you were from one you were a child? It takes months if not years to master even a single aspect of a fighting style and you're throwing a hissy fit because another person hasn't spent those years yet? You, a Kung Fu master, is throwing a hissy fit because she didn't remember that she used to be as unskilled as the Panda she mocks?" Tigress growled and tossed one of her most powerful open palm strikes and aimed it at Kiba's head.
She gasped when he caught it near effortlessly, the smirk now a small frown.
"Don't do this, I am not a pushover like you think I am. I am merely asking that you give my friend a chance, your Master is the one that I am annoyed at more, not you."
With that, he gave an open palmed strike which pushed her back to the edge of the walkway before he turned and walked away as Tigress felt the place where Kiba had launched his attack.
She had somewhat felt it.
Kiba unlike the others, decided to rest in one of the guest wings on the other side of the palace as he drifted off into sleep.
Kiba woke up about 3 hours before the others and made his way to the training hall as he launched a roundhouse kick that nearly shattered one of the training posts as he used jabs, side -kicks and other moves from his training as he continued to keep himself occupied with sharping his skills.
Kiba didn't even hear Po behind him as he launched an open palm strike that rattled the training post.
"Wow, a lotus strike!" Kiba turned and nearly fell over, his concentration broken.
"Po, when did you get here!?" Po shrugged.
"Um, hour ago, you didn't notice me because you were too busy training…. Why are you training anyway if you're a master of Martial Arts…? I said that right, didn't I?" Kiba was about to answer when Shifu came in.
"Panda, where are-…." Kiba just now noticed Po was trying to pull off a full split.
"What are you both doing?" Po was unable to speak but Kiba was able to for himself.
"I was training, something you seem to have been neglecting to do with your newest student." Shifu would have yelled at the wolf but remembered that Oogway had a soft spot for the boy before he passed.
"Panda, you were trying to pull off a full split? It takes years to pull off something like that, come I will show you…. Kiba? Stay here and train, I believe Tigress said she wanted a spar with you for some reason." Kiba was silent as Po walked out with the Red Panda as Kiba leapt up to look out the crack in the door at what was transpiring outside.
Shifu turned as Kiba stormed out onto the stairs.
"Why?" The Red Panda was about to answer when Kiba stormed up to him.
"You are nothing more than a child who refuses to accept that Po is who Oogway says he is!"
"He isn't the one, the Dragon Warrior-…" Kiba cut him off.
"Would what? Have skill? Something your refusing him because you don't like him? Your acting like a spoiled child rather than a Kung Fu master and it sickens me to think your taking over where Oogway left off." Before he could respond, Kiba was already inside.
"Tigress, get him."
Author notes
And now you have learned a bit more about Kiba, I am going to make longer chapters and after Thursday, I will be writing -2000 word chapters. Btw, if you guys send a review or something I will be unable to read it right now due to a glitch. I will be back with another chapter on Thursday. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
