Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Wolf and Tiger. Enjoy the 1500-word chapter. I don't own Kung Fu Panda, DreamWorks does.
Kiba sniffed the air before looking over his shoulder as the Furious Five and Po climbed up the building.
"What took you so long?" Kiba asked, he now wore a hood made out of rag like material over his head and a scarf like object covered his mouth, making his voice sound like it was muffled.
"You had to go and run off without telling us before you ran off to go do your recon work?" Tigress asked as she barely contained a growl at Kiba picked up on as he shrugged.
"I am not the most patient of people when it comes to missions, Ti, I thought you knew that. Also, the entire city has been taken over by wolf soldiers, I don't see an easy way to get to the palace." Kiba looked over to see Monkey grinning.
"What?" Monkey grinned even more.
"You have a pet name for Tigress, you sure you two aren't dating?" Kiba growled and swung a punch at Monkey Before Tigress stopped it, she scowled at Monkey who sheepishly backed down before he could be hit.
"Isn't that the guy who hit you in the face, Po?" Crane asked as Kiba and Po spotted the hammer wielding wolf leader, Kiba growled.
"I do not like that guy." Po said as Kiba growled in anger at their last meeting.
"I'll tear him to shreds for what he did!" Kiba went to jump before Tigress grabbed him and pulled him back.
"We need a plan, not blind action." Tigress stated.
"Fine, then we fight our way to Shen, proclaim that we are the warriors who will bring him to justice and free all of China from his evil!" Po shouted before Tigress covered his mouth with her other arm.
"No, that will get us caught, Kiba said there's dozens of wolf soldiers in the streets, people would get hurt if we just jumped down and started fighting. Besides, we need to element of surprise anyway, that means no heroics, no proclaiming and no stupid business, we need stealth." Tigress looked at Kiba as he rolled his eyes.
"I can do stealth, what makes you think I can't?" Tigress held up the smoke bombs and smirked, Kiba's ears drooped under his hood.
"Don't you dare mention that, that is pure evil backstabbing, Ti." Kiba sighed before leaping to a nearby rooftop and vanishing as the Five tried to blend in as well.
Po slammed into a fruit stand, he juggled the fruit before it could fall.
"Phew, close one!" Po whisper/yelled as he tried to catch up to the Five and Kiba.
he however, was less subtle then his more agile counter parts as he slammed into a cart filled with pans and knocked them to the ground, alerting the wolf soldiers as they began to question everyone.
"What happened?" Asked one of the soldiers as Po vanished into the crowd.
"Misdirection…" Po whispered as Kiba leapt onto another rooftop above him and sniffed the air around him.
"I smell something." Kiba stated before he turned to see Tigress land behind him.
"I see that things are going fine." The rest of the Furious Five landed on the rooftop as Kiba sniffed the air once more before Tigress spoke up.
"Where's Po?" Kiba chuckled as he turned back to Tigress.
"Yeah, stealth is really working out for all of us right now." Tigress groaned as she spotted a dragon costume roaming the streets before it smacked into some fireworks stand, setting it on fire. The Five was quick to jump into the costume as Kiba smirked under his mouth cover and joined them as well.
"So, this is stealth mode?" Monkey asked as Po turned to face them.
"Not one of my best modes." Po stated as a smirking Kiba turned to Tigress.
"And this is why we should have fought our way to Shen, intimidation is as good as stealth at times." Tigress scowled and turned back to Kiba.
"You want me to slug you?" Kiba rolled his eyes.
"I took your best hits, Ti, it wouldn't do a lot from a crouching position." Monkey and Mantis grinned.
"Kiba and Tigress siting in a tree, k-I-s-s-I-n-g, first comes love then comes marriage then comes-…" Kiba stepped on Monkey's foot before slamming his fist down on Mantis.
"Shut it with the romance jokes, me and Tigress aren't much more then sparing partners right now." Monkey rolled his eyes despite the pain in his foot.
"Whatever you say, Kiba." The wolf was about to respond when Po spoke up as the dragon wove through the streets. They could hear conversations through the costume.
"Guys, look!" Po could see a wolf soldier threating a sheep citizen.
"Hey, this rice is raw!" The soldier howled as the sheep cowered.
"But you stole all my metal pots for Lord Shen!" The soldier seized the sheep in his claws.
"You cook my rice or I cook you!" The wolf growled as Crane looked to Po.
"Po, do something before she gets killed!" Crane nearly screamed.
"How am I supposed to cook her rice without us getting seen? Wait, I have a better idea!"
He walked the dragon up to the wolf soldier before reaching through the mouth of the costume and punching the wolf before grabbing him and pulling him into the costume. Po, Kiba, and the Furious Five took care of him easily before kicking him out the back of the costume. Kiba heard a gasp from a bunny villager but tuned it out as the sheep began to speak up.
"Oh, thank you so much!" The sheep said before looking confused.
"Who are you?" Po handled that.
"We are the warriors who are here to liberate Gongmen City and bring Lord Shen to justice." The sheep looked around nervously to make sure she wasn't being watched.
"You will need help." Po cracked his neck before speaking up.
"Thank you, brave sheep citizen, but it is too dangerous, I cannot-…" He was cut off by the sheep.
"No, not me…" She looked around to make sure she wasn't being watched before lowering her voice.
"It isn't safe to speak out in the open." Kiba facepalmed at his friend's cluelessness.
"Right," Po said before he pulled the sheep into the costume, Kiba heard the bunny scream and run away as Kiba rolled his eyes at this before the Po spoke up again.
"Don't worry, they can't see us in stealth mode." Kiba smirked and went to speak before Tigress grabbed his muzzle with her hand, he looked at her with a face devoid of amusement as she smiled, Kiba rolled his eyes as the sheep spoke once more.
"I'm talking about Masters Ox and Croc." The sheep whispered as Po looked at her.
"What!? They're still alive, I thought Shen killed them!"
"Where can we find them, citizen?" The sheep thought for a moment before speaking.
"No, he had them imprisoned in Gongmen Jail." Po nodded as the sheep ran out of the costume.
"Thanks, sheep!" Po yelled as Kiba turned and saw that the wolf that he and the others had beaten up had been getting up.
"Hey, stop that costume!" Kiba zipped out of the costume and roundhouse kicked the wolf to the side before zipping under the costume again as it rounded the corner.
"Get them!" The wolf boss growled as a pack of wolf soldiers chased them around the corner before circling it.
"Got them!" The wolfs stabbed their swords into the costume only to find out that there were fruit crates under the costume rather than their targets.
"What?! Spread out and find them, you idiots!" The wolf boss growled as the soldiers ran around, trying to find their quarry.
"Over there?" A soldier asked as the wolf boss growled.
"Is there a part of all over?!" The soldier nodded as the wolf boss growled.
"Then look there!" Kiba was glad the Five and Po had speed on their side as he climbed up a building and then vanished into the back alleys as the Five and Po used barrels to move around unseen.
"I can feel we are close, I feel a Kung Fu shiver going up my spine." Kiba facepalmed as Viper slithered out of the barrel.
"Sorry, Po, that's just me." Tigress poked her head out of the barrel and looked up at a sign as Kiba helped her and the others out of their barrels.
"Gongmen jail, we are here." Kiba rolled his eyes before looking down the alley.
"Maybe next time we skip stealth before it nearly gets us caught like it nearly did a few minutes ago?" Tigress huffed and walked down the street as Kiba crossed his arms and sighed before walking down the street.
"Ten yen says they get together before we get back to the valley of Peace." Manis said before Monkey smirked.
"You're on."
