Snoring Problems
Panther was on her way back to her childhood friend and Tigress's room. Tomorrow they'll head back to Gongmen City. Once she opens the door, Panther could see Tigress sitting on Leo's lap as the two kisses passionately. He wasn't even wearing his shirt and his shirt was right next to him. Leo's turn his head to the door and saw Panther standing in the doorway. Tigress became curious why Leo was looking at the door and notices Panther.
The orange feline's face blushed a little while her boyfriend was blushing as well.
"I hope I wasn't interrupting anything." Panther replied.
Tigress got off Leo's lap and sat down next to him.
"No, you weren't. We were about to have a couple drinks before bed."
"I see." Panther nodded. "And Leo's shirt?"
"I didn't get the chance to put it on."
"Would you like a drink as well, Panther?"
"Yes please. Thank you."
"You're welcome." Tigress stands up and leaves the room before closing the door.
Panther walks up to Leo and sits down besides him. She places the shirt on his lap. "You and Tigress are lucky to have each other."
"Thanks." Leo thanked her.
"You know what this reminds me of, Leo?"
Leo looks at her. "About you and Carlos?"
"Yeah." She chuckled. "I remember that you were spying on me and Carlos when we out on a date from the vent inside the tower to the restaurant and then back to my room. Then the moment was ruined after you fell out of the vent."
"You and Carlos were in a relationship, until Carlos and Iris passed away along with... Enya."
"I know. I wished you were wrong about Carlos and Iris, but you were right about them." Panther lowered her head.
Leo wraps his arm around her shoulder and Panther rest her head on his shoulder. In his mind, he thought things would be different if those two were founded first when Rick was the leader of Crimson Dusks. The young man took out his iPhone and went to the music app.
Panther watches him tap on a playlist that has only two songs. The two songs were Monster by Skillet and Let The Bodies Hit The Floor by Drowning Pool. These were the two songs that he really, really hates. Those two songs reminded him of what he did five years ago that started the nightmares. Both songs were playing at Sying's factory and Skillet's song played while fighting Ellie Collins. She saw him grasping the iPhone very tightly.
In his eyes were anger, hatred, vengeance and fear.
Panther places her hand on his wrist, causing him to loosen his grip. She removes the phone from his hand and places it on the bed. With the phone on the bed, Panther proceeded to hug her close childhood friend. Leo closed his eyes and releases a heavy sigh. Panther really hopes that her childhood friend can speak about his nightmares one day. She won't stop and she won't give up on him.
After a hard day of training, Po enters his room with Kiba. The two of them were very quiet because their friends were already sleeping. The Dragon Warrior's room was filled with posters on the wall. There was an adversary wearing a straw hat. Po had a bucket of weapons. He was getting ready to get some shuteye.
"Man, I got to say, Kiba, that was a long day from saving China from evil, Kiba." The Dragon Warrior said.
"You had a long day of training, Po." Kiba replied.
"Yeah, well, I'm going to hit the hay." Po yawns.
"I just hope I don't hear you walking down the hall in the middle of the night to get a midnight snack." Kiba looks at with annoyed look on his face.
"Goodnight, Kiba." The large panda lays down on his pillow and closed his eyes.
"Night, Po." Kiba said. But he heard an unusual coughing sound, catching their attention. "Was that you, Po?"
"Oh, no. That was Crane's acid reflux acting up again." Po fills him in.
"Does that happen all the time?"
"Not all the time. It'll be just a second." Po replied and lays back down.
Kiba looks down the hall.
"RROOAWW!"
"Was that Tigress?" Kiba whips around at Po.
"Oh yeah." Po nodded. "She must be dreaming about that one I beat her in sparring. It'll be over when she rolls on her tummy."
Then another snoring emerge, followed by a maniacal laughter. Kiba can see Po was getting fed up.
"Mantis..." Po lets out sigh. "And it sounds like Monkey is de-pantsing people in his dream."
"Damn." Kiba looks back down the hall before looking back at the Dragon Warrior. "And how about Viper?"
A louder and deeper snore cut the panda off before he can respond.
"You've gotta be kidding me." Kiba sweat dropped and looks back at the hall. "And I thought-"
"And you thought that Viper would have a daintier snore than that." Po rolls his eyes.
"I was going to say that she'd be sleeping peacefully, but Viper snores like a guy!" The wolf's left eye twitched.
Everyone in the barracks were making their own personal sound. It was no wonder they couldn't hear the other snoring.
"Alright, alright." Po groaned and stands up. "I'm going to see if there's anyone else out there who wants to take over China, and if not, I'll sleep at my dad's place. You want to come, Kiba?"
"Yes."
"I'm going to a leave note to let them know where we are for tomorrow morning." Po found a note and wrote in it.
Kiba had to cover his ears and wanted to tell Leo and the Furious Five to lower their voices. But the wolf realizes something; Leo. He heads down the hall where Leo's room is located. Opening the door a little, he saw the human was sleeping in the middle between Tigress and Panther without his shirt on. Leo wasn't affected by her girlfriend's moans and growls. He had a little scratch on his chest.
The wolf closes the door and follows Po out of the barracks. "How the fuck is Leo not snoring like the Furious Five?"
"That's because he never snores. Leo just sleeps through the whole thing." Po answered.
"Damn. That guy is amazing."
"Yep. He sure is."
Back in Leo's room, Tigress continued her groaning and growling in her sleep. Her boyfriend was beginning to stir but he kept sleeping. Everything was beginning swallow up in a void of darkness. Leo's body hit the metal floor, forcing him to open his jade eyes. He found himself outside on top of a landing platform. His jade eyes fell on a soldier who was being choked by his past teen self completely covered in blood and fire.
Leo watches his blood, fiery teen self kills Sying's soldier. The fiery teen saw Leo himself. He roars in anger. Leo tries to block the kick, but the kick sent him through the wall. He got to his feet and see the fiery ring surrounded him with no possible escape. Leo saw his fiery self several feet away while eating Ellie Collin's corpse.
The young man watches himself slowly stood up. The fiery teen turns around and casts an angry glare at the young man. As the teen began to walk towards the young man, the teen began to morph into the young man while covered in fire and blood. Leo knew this was his "other self".
"It's always impressive every time when this nightmare of yours every night." It spoke.
"They won't see that side of me." Leo snarls at him.
"You mean you, the Bloodthirsty Monster, or me, Demon Leo?" Demon Leo chuckled darkly.
Leo said nothing.
"There is something that I'm feeling. Let me tell you what I am feeling right now." Demon Leo replied.
Before Leo can reply, his demon side did a powerful palm strike to the chest that made a hole and grasps his heart. The young man couldn't breathe.
Demon Leo leans in and began to whisper. "I, I feel like a monster."
Then everything went up in flames, forcing him to cover his eyes.
Leo quickly sat up and grabs the diamond sword before drawing it halfway. He was still in his room at the barracks. His childhood friend and girlfriend was still sleeping. Leo sheathes his sword and places it down.
"That was fucking new with that demon side of myself." Leo thought. "Not only I have Kaira inside me, now I have a demon version of myself from my nightmares now. I'm guessing it was born when I became the Bloodthirsty Monster."
The young man takes a look at Tigress. He really didn't want his girlfriend or the warriors of the Jade Palace to know about his nightmares or the others back on the human world again. Leo had to lie to them so they wouldn't have to worry about him. It was better for him this way. But when it came to Zhao and Sying, those are two completely different stories. When Leo explained about Sying's family past to his girlfriend, the rest of the Five, Po, Croc and Ox, he withheld very important information about what happened on the mountain five years ago. Leo really didn't want to explain about Sying because it reminded him of how his whole body was caught on fire and killed those soldiers. Then he came to a decision to explain a small part while withholding very important information.
It was a little tough for him. The toughest one for Leo was how he told them how he killed the prince after Po asked what happened on the raft. It reminded him of what he did that night five years ago after explaining he killed Prince Sying. Leo was lucky that the flames stayed to his arms and legs. The young man didn't want to think how they would react to it. Leo lets out small yawn and looks at the time. It was two o'clock in the morning.
Leo's throat was a little dry and he went over to pick up a cup of water. He felt satisfied.
"Can't sleep well?" Kaira spoke in his mind.
"I'll be fine." Leo lowers his voice so no one can hear him. "I'm used to it."
"Hm." Kaira rolls her eyes. "What do you think of that man you fought the other day?"
"He's strong. I would've defeated Zane if that light didn't have to interfere with the fight." Leo said.
"Just be glad that he didn't extract me from you."
"We'll talk more of that later on." Leo yawned.
"Fine. But just keep up with your regular training."
"When have I been known to slack off of my training, damn it?"
"You know what I mean."
Leo rolls his eyes in annoyance. He lays back down in his bed and takes one last look at his girlfriend and childhood friend. The young man kisses Tigress on the lightly before closing his eyes. Letting out a soft purr, she nuzzled against his cheek and wraps both of her arms around his arm. Panther is right about one thing; Leo is lucky to have Tigress as his girlfriend.
Author's Note: And that's that for this chapter. This chapter was good to work on. I wanted to include this snoring chapter after I watched "Snoring Gets Wild". It was good. I might add some Kung Fu Panda Shorts in this story because most of the episodes from all three seasons are finished. There are the comics to consider too. I'm considering doing a couple of them. I still have plenty of ideas for this story, so don't worry. Also it was about time to let you know about these two songs that Leo really hate. Really happy that I got this chapter done.
I hope you all enjoy this chapter, everyone! Don't forget to Follow, Favorite, leave a review and PM!
