Shifu had dismissed Tigress as soon as she had greeted him this morning. "There will be no training today," He had told her. She looked at him questioningly but didn't push the issue. Since she had been the only one to show up for the morning gong she assumed something had gone awry. Po, however having always been late to practice wasn't there when Shifu had told Tigress there was no training, and was happily standing at attention in the yard waiting for his master.

He shuffled nervously as he waited. It seemed odd that everyone else would be late to the morning gong, but he puffed out his chest trying to look important. Shifu slowly walked through the yard mumbling to himself. Po stood up straighter and watched until Shifu was walking past him and then roared out. "GOOD MORNING, MASTER!" "Po..." Shifu groaned. "What is it?" "It's morning! And I'm the first one to practice!" Po chuckled. "So, did everyone else sleep in today? Should I go wake them up?" "Practice has been canceled, Po." Shifu said. "You aren't the first one to the yard... You're the last one... Again."

Po lowered his head sadly. "I'm sorry, master," Po sighed and sat down on the ground. "I don't know why after all these years I still can't get the hang of this." "It's alright, Po." Shifu said as he patted him on his shoulder as he walked past. "It's alright. Why don't you go down to the valley and visit your father?" "That's a great idea! Thank you, Master!" Po exclaimed jumping off his butt and running out of the yard towards the steps. Shifu sighed again as he walked towards his compound.

In the valley Mister Ping's noodle shop was full of people. Po had to carefully pick his way through the throng to get to the counter. "Wow, Dad!" Po said at the counter as he turned around to look out at all the customers and lean against the counter. "Your shop is really exploding today." "Get your grubby elbows off the counter," A woman's voice snapped at him as he felt himself being pushed away from the counter. "And don't call me Dad!" "Wha... Who... Uhhhh-ohhhh..." Po stammered as he turned around and saw another Panda wiping off the counter where he had been leaning. "PO!" A voice called to him and he turned to see a duck flapping and running through the crowd. "Dad!" Po shouted as he rushed up to meet his father. "That's your father?" The female Panda asked. "Yeah, it is," Po said quickly before turning back to Mister Ping. "Dad... You didn't lose the shop in a gamble did you?" "Oh, no no no..." Mister Ping laughed as he went behind the counter. "Well, then who is this? Is it a sister of mine?" Po asked looking at the female panda. Mister Ping laughed at Po's question. "God, no!" The female Panda exclaimed as Mister Ping laughed again. "Po, I would like you to meet Li-Tang," Mister Ping smiled at her. "And Li-Tang might I introduce my son Po. The Dragon Warrior!" "He's the Dragon Warrior?!" Li-Tang asked staring at Po in disbelief. "Yeah, I know I might not look it, but I'm really an awesome butt kicking machine!" Po said as suavely as he could before doing some of his "awesome" kung fu moves. "Uh-huh." Li-Tang grunted before going back to the dishes she had been cleaning. "So, where do you live?" Po asked her, but before she could answer him Mister Ping cut in. "She lives in your old room!" Ping was laughing like a lunatic. "I have your stuff in a crate under the counter if you came to pick it up."

A line of customers came up to the counter and started ordering before Po could say anything. Mister Ping and Li-Tang began serving them quickly. "Actually, I came to see you, Dad, but it looks like no one needs me here either," Po sighed as he turned and left the noodle shop.

Po walked down the road and in to a bamboo grove. He sat down in the middle and started eating. "No one needs a big, fat, stupid, panda!" He growled as he stuffed bamboo in to his face. "Oh, I know someone who needs a fat panda," A female voice said from behind them. "Oh, yes, don't we need a fat, stupid, panda?" Another female voice asked. "Hee-hee!" Yet another giggled. The voices were coming from all around the grove. Po stood up nervously and began to slowly back out of the grove. "Oh, no you don't," The other female voice sang out in his ear as he felt an arm snake around his neck. "Who are you?" He choked out before stepping quickly backwards and throwing the women off in front of him. She was caught by two other females who seemed to materialize out of the grove. The three of them started advancing slowly on him. "What do you need me for?" Po asked nervously stepping backwards. "Sacrifice?" One of them asked. "Yes, to appease the lion," the other giggled. "Kataki?" Po asked, but the moment he did lights went on in his head and he felt himself slipping in to darkness. "Don't ever say that name again... You aren't even fit to whisper it," One of the females said as he felt a sharp pain in his temple that shot him in to nothingness.

Tigress crept through the weeds covering the opening of the cave that Kataki had made his home. She sniffed and listened her entire body quaking with fear and something else that she didn't understand, but she knew she had to talk this madman out of killing Po. She was sure she could do this better alone then with the others. She could be charming when she wanted to be.

Her thoughts were broken as she felt a paw close around her throat and her body being yanked against another. "What are you doing here again?" Kataki growled in her ear. "Didn't you understand when I told you not to return here?" "Yes," Tigress choked out before pulling his hand away and jumping back. Just as she jumped back Kataki caught her again and pulled her against him with one arm. She pushed away from him but gave up after a feeble struggle. "You can't kill Po," Tigress said looking up at him. His yellow eyes glared down at her. "And give me a reason I shouldn't?" He said slowly. "Because everyone in the valley would lose faith! They'd lose heart. The Jade Palace would become a laughing stock, and no one would believe in Kung Fu!" "So, you don't want me to kill him because it would make you and your Master look bad?"

Tigress swallowed hard. That isn't what she had meant, but it is what she thought. "And why would I care about you or your master?!" Kataki roared his voice echoing off of the walls and sending a chilling fear down Tigress' spine. "You don't have a reason, but all of China would stop believing in Kung Fu!" Tigress exclaimed. Kataki sighed and released Tigress. "I doubt that is true. Why would one fat panda make any difference?" Kataki stared at her waiting, but Tigress didn't have an answer for him. "Was Kung Fu ruined when Tai Lung went on a rampage through the valley killing everyone in sight? Was Kung Fu ruined when he was locked away? Was it ruined when Oogway died? I doubt that your fat man would make much difference then to become a legend. A self proclaimed god of Kung Fu defeated by no more than a traveling nomad," Kataki growled lightly letting the growl become a roar of laughter. "What's so funny?" Tigress asked quietly. "Nothing," Kataki snapped at her as he immediately stopped laughing.

Tigress looked sideways at him, but didn't question him further. Kataki's evil grin returned to his muzzle in an instant however as he turned his attention back towards Tigress. "But you," He whispered as he leaned in against Tigress pushing her against a wall of the cave and pinning her there with his body. "I told you never to return... Yet, here you are." "I came to stop you," Tigress whispered back her body alive with fear and excitement. "Did you?" Kataki whispered against her ear before inhaling deeply of her scent. "Or did you come for another reason... Perhaps to see me?" "No," Tigress whispered huskily. "Really, dear... Are you trying to convince me or yourself..."

"KATAKI!!!!" Three voices screamed from inside of the tunnel. "Oh, god no..." Kataki moaned as he backed off of Tigress letting her lean against the wall panting hard. "Who..." Tigress started. "KATAKI!!!" A different voice shouted again. "We got him!!" Another voice shouted. "We got the stupid panda!!" Yet another shouted.

Tigress heart sank to her feet. Kung Fu was doomed. Had three girls actually defeated Po? "What?!" Kataki roared just as three happy snow leopard girls bounded in to the large hall dragging a sack behind them. "Who is that?!" They all asked pointing to Tigress. "Who are they?" Tigress asked pointing at the three girls. "God..." Kataki mumbled pinching between his eyes. "Ugh..." Came a moan from inside the sack.

Kataki's eyes widened in shock. "You didn't... Please tell me you didn't!" The three snow leopardess looked at each other sheepishly. Kataki lunged at them yanking the sack out of their paws. Swiftly opening it and looking inside before closing it again a look of disgust and horror on his face. "You aren't happy?" One of the girls asked him. "No, I'm not, Sai," Kataki growled at her. "I was giving him a year to train. To face me in a fair fight. Not to be brought in like a caged bear." "Men," Another of the snow leopardess growled. "They're never happy." "What's in the bag?" Tigress asked but already knowing the answer. "Who is she?!" The three asked in unison pointing at Tigress.

Kataki sighed heavily, and turned to Tigress. "Tigress, these are the Wu sisters. Fu-Mai, Reika, Sai-Yu. Girls, this is Master Tigress of the furious five." Kataki sounded as if he were gagging on the word master while introducing Tigress to the three other women. The four women nodded at each other slightly doing little more than acknowledge that each of them existed. "And what is in the bag?" Tigress asked again edging closer. "Garbage," Kataki growled lightly. "Garbage I want taken out of here and back to the palace where it belongs. Since I can't go myself... Would you take it with you?"

Tigress gulped slightly and nodded. Opening the sack Po, rolled out and sat up. "Tigress?" He asked in a daze. "Where did those ladies go? I was just getting ready to beat them with some of my totally awesome moves." At that Po looked over to see the Wu sisters giggling and waving at him. "Really?" Tigress said as she helped him to his feet. Po looked down at his feet and then back up at Tigress and past her to Kataki who was smiling evilly at him. "You have one year, Panda," Kataki spat out. "You better have some totally awesome moves by then."

Laughter followed both Tigress and Po out of the cave as they walked back to the palace. Po kept looking down at his feet dejectedly as they walked. Just then they heard women's screams and looked back at the cave and saw all three Wu sisters flying out of the opening. They landed on their feet, turned to look at Tigress and Po, waved, and jumped in to the trees disappearing almost instantly. Tigress smiled as she turned and walked back with Po in silence to the palace. She was going to learn more about this Kataki and wasn't going to take no for an answer.

Back at the palace Po went in to his room and shut the door. Silently, wishing he would have never come to the palace or became the Dragon Warrior. He wasn't cut out for it and he knew it. He flopped back on his Tatami mat and sighed heavily. Even his dad seemed to have forgotten about him. In fact he had went out and gotten himself another panda. Po sighed heavily thinking of Li-Tang. She was a very sexy panda, though. He could tell how muscular she was just by looking. He hadn't seen another panda in his life save for his own reflection in mirrors and in water. But he knew he was nothing to look at. Fat, slow, and stupid. He only knew how to screw up and cook. Who would really want him around. Po was so engrossed in his private pity party that he didn't notice his door open and close. Someone had come in, but he hadn't even noticed until he felt something coiling up around his neck. Thinking it was the Wu sisters again Po reached up and grabbed what he thought was rope and pulled forcefully. "WHOA!" screeched Viper who was now firmly in Po's grasp. "Oh, oh, oh!" Po shouted. "Viper... I'm so sorry. Are you okay? I didn't hurt you did I... You know because the Dragon Warrior has a totally awesome grip."

Viper giggled putting the tip of her tail against her lips as she did. "Oh, who am I kidding," Po groaned again. "I'm not totally awesome... I'm a total loss." "Po?" Viper asked snaking up his arm to coil around his neck again so she could look him in the face. "Are you okay?" "Yes..." Po sat back down heavily. "No... I got attacked today..." "Oh?!" Viper asked in shock. "Are you okay?" "I'm fine." Po sighed. "Just a little bruised. But I was beaten by three women." "Women?!" Viper gasped. "Three snow leopardess. They knocked me out and brought me to the lion. I think they wanted him to kill me there." Po said. "Snow leopardess?" Viper said. "I was attacked by three of the same." "You?" Po asked. "They beat me pretty quickly," Viper admitted turning her head in shame. "I couldn't compete with them even with all my training." "You? Viper? You're totally awesome! But they beat you? They probably played dirty like they did to me," Po said. "You're Master Viper, you're lightening fast and totally..."

Viper cut off his 'awesome' by putting her tail tip against his lips. Po looked past her tail in to her eyes as Viper moved her tail slowly and moved her head in to press her lips against his. Po's eyes widened in astonishment. Before he felt Viper's tail pushing his lids down, and then his head being pressed closer to hers. Their lips mashed together as Viper tilted her head and snaked her thin tongue in to his mouth. Po stood up quickly breaking the kiss, but also managing to startle Viper and get himself choked. He gasped for air and reached up and knocked his bookcase over. Viper leaped off of him and on to the floor before having to leap again as Po came crashing to the ground. "Viper!" Po exclaimed. "What..." "I kissed you," Viper giggled. "Haven't you ever had a kiss before?" "Me? The Dragon Warrior?! I've been kissed tons of times!" Po said sitting up proudly and smiling at her. "Really?" "Um... Just never like that," Po finally admitted after a minute of smiling and looking proud. "I was your first kiss?" Viper asked looking up at Po startled for a moment, and then her eyes softened and took on a very seductive look. "Yes," Po admitted nervously before Viper snaked back up on his neck and began kissing him again softly.

"What's wrong with him?!" Tigress exclaimed as she burst in to Po's room and saw Viper coiled near the door and Po sitting huddled in a corner clutching his knees and weeping. "I don't know," Viper said. "I..." The hall began filling up outside Po's door as the others began assembling to see what the commotion was. Po was now laying sideways on the floor in a ball screeching and clutching himself. "Something had to have happened," Mei-Ling said as she looked at Po. "I just... I..." Viper stammered flustered. She had been kissing Po and he had seemed like he was enjoying it. Her tail had slithered down between his legs and she had been flicking it to stroke him and it had ended like that. With Po pulling her off and throwing her away from himself. "I..." Viper snaked up Tigress and whispered in her ear. Tigress flushed in embarrassment, then turned to Mai-Ling and whispered to her. Mai-Ling giggled and blushed. Crane, Monkey, and Mantis all looked at the three women in confusion, before Shifu pushed his way past them and in to Po's room. "Po!" He shouted. "What happened?!" "She..." Po sobbed. "She..." "Who?!" Shifu roared rounding on his students. "Tigress did you strike him again?!" "No, Master," Tigress said quickly. "I just got here when I heard him screaming."

Shifu walked to Po, and knelt down beside the balled up panda. "Who?" Shifu asked. Po grabbed one of Shifu's large ears and began whispering in to it, but in his flustered state he wasn't as quiet as he thought. "Master Viper kissed me and then... Then..." Po sobbed again. "She touched my y?nj?ng!" Monkey and Mantis laughed loudly and fell out of the doorway. "I wouldn't mind her touching my y?nj?ng!" Monkey laughed loudly as Mantis jumped on top of his head. "I wouldn't mind touching her y?n dào!" Mantis laughed as he clapped his pincers excitedly. The duo turned to see Crane looking at them with a hateful glare. They immediately bowed their heads and fell silent. Viper on the other hand was blushing deeply and hiding her eyes with her tail as she was coiled around the neck of Tigress. Why hadn't she thought Po was still a virgin. Why had she even done that? She ventured a look at Crane who wasn't looking at anyone. He seemed to be looking off in to the distance a dark and hateful look on his face. Viper just wanted to disappear, but she couldn't leave without someone noticing. Tigress sensed her friend wanted to leave and turned quickly but silently and padded away from the commotion.

The three women were sitting in the hot spring not saying anything, but after the stern talk that Shifu had given everyone in the palace nothing more needed to be said. Viper had sunk in to the water so that only her eyes and nostrils were above the surface.

"I know that all of you are adults," Shifu had said walking back in forth in front of his students in the yard. "And I know that most of you can conduct yourselves in a manner befitting adults and Kung Fu masters." "Yes, Master," Everyone had replied. Po was still in his room so this talk was only for them. They were sure Shifu would have his own talk with Po after the panda had calmed down. "But Po isn't a regular adult," Shifu continued. "He isn't as worldly as the rest of you." "You mean bi?o zi!" Crane spat out. Viper, Mei-Ling, and Tigress all gasped in shock. "Master Crane!" Shifu shouted. "None of that! I'm not blaming anyone. But Po is more of a child than anything else. He isn't like the rest of you. He didn't understand when he got a... Um..." "Erection?" Crane offered. "Boner," Monkey laughed. "Wood?" Mantis interjected. Shifu cleared his throat. "Yes, he thought it was going to fall off."

Monkey and Mantis whistled and looked over at Viper who was blushing again and looking ashamed. Monkey and Mantis both looked at one another and smiled each knew what the other was thinking and they both started snickering before Master Shifu hit them over the heads with Oogway's walking stick. "Pay attention!" Shifu shouted. "Now, no one is in any trouble, but Po has to be handled with care and even if he looks big and cuddly he doesn't understand... Well... You know..." "Yes, Master," His students agreed in unison. "So, until I can talk to him. Please no one mention this, and..." Shifu looked at the women assembled and cleared his throat. "No one is to touch him again except in sparring." Tigress laughed. Mei-Ling blushed. And Viper nodded but still hid her eyes.

After Shifu dismissed them the women had walked off to the hot spring. They needed to relax, and even though Viper was the most embarrassed by the incident all of them felt the same. "Who died?" Asked a female voice from behind them. The women turned to see Li-Tang walking up to the hot spring completely naked her towel draped over her shoulder. The women quickly looked away. "No one died," Tigress said. Mei-Ling giggled and looked over at the panda as she eased herself in to the water. She stared a moment too long and Li-Tang had noticed she was being stared at. "Like what you see?" Li-Tang asked her. Mei-Ling blushed brightly. "I just didn't know panda's could be so fit," She admitted. "Well, most panda's aren't hugely fat," Li-Tang laughed. "Or are you referring to the totally awesome dragon warrior?" Mei-Ling nodded. Tigress looked over now and stared. She couldn't believe that this panda was the complete opposite of Po. She seemed more worldly and knowledgeable not to mention toned. "Well, I don't know," Li-Tang said. "I'm the only other panda I've seen in a long time. So, I don't know if we're supposed to be doughy or not." "Well, Po is, and..." Mei-Ling laughed. "Lacking in the knowledge of the world." "I just met him today at the noodle shop," Li-Tang laughed. "He was going on about being awesome and thought I was his sister, because I was working for his dad." "You aren't related," Tigress asked. "God, no!" Li-Tang laughed. "What brings you to the valley?" Viper asked. Everyone turned to her because it was the first time she'd spoken since she told Tigress what happened. "I needed work, and there wasn't any in my village," Li-Tang told them. "So, I moved on to find myself here."

The four women sat enjoying the hot water soaking away their stress. Occasionally, talking about the village or some random gossip, but carefully avoiding the subject of Po. Tigress was the first to leave. She carefully pulled her towel around her as she got out so that no one saw her naked body. She knew all too well that Monkey and Mantis were usually lurking about hoping to catch a peek of any woman naked. Mei-Ling did the same after awhile leaving Viper and Li-Tang sitting together in the water. Viper floated silently for a while before turning to Li-Tang. "Can I ask you something?" Viper asked. "Sure, what is it?" Li-Tang asked. "How would you apologize to someone if you did something stupid?" Viper asked. "What do you mean?" Li-Tang asked and Viper recounted the tale of her kissing Po. Li-Tang slipped under the water in shock and laughter at the end.

Viper blushed again, but Li-Tang was apologizing to her. "I'm sorry. I just never heard a story like that, and I thought I heard just about everything," Li-Tang admitted. "I mean I knew the panda was kinda dull on wits, but I didn't think he was stupid to boot." "But how would you apologize for something like that?" Viper asked her. "I really wouldn't know," Li-Tang admitted. "I'm limited in that also." "You're a..." "Yes, I am," Li-Tang cut her off. "But you're... Gorgeous. You've never had a boyfriend, or anything?" Viper asked her. "I've had offers, but I'm holding out for a guy, who's... Well, smart, funny, strong, and he's got to be handsome." Li-Tang laughed. "I just haven't found anyone like that yet." "I thought I had a guy like that," Viper sighed. "Really? It wasn't the panda was it?" "Oh, no... He was tall, handsome, smart, funny... But... I kept catching him flirting, and kissing another woman," Viper hissed. "Better off without him," Li-Tang said. "Who needs that kind of aggravation?" "Well, I think he'll be happier now he can be with her," Viper admitted and sighed again.

Crane growled to himself quietly from his perch above the hot spring. Preening his feathers violently as he listened to the women talking. But hearing Viper talk about him and thinking that he wanted Mei-Ling more than her made him pull his feathers out even more violently then before. He hadn't wanted Mei-Ling at all, but as he thought about it he knew it hadn't looked good. He flew off before he heard Viper telling Li-Tang that she still loved him, but didn't think she could trust him around women even if she did take him back.

Swooping in to his window he landed near his large nest. He was just about to get in when he noticed there was a ball under his blanket. He lifted the blanket cautiously just as Mei-Ling pounced out from under it latching on to him. "Crane!" She purred as she pulled him back in to the nest with her. He noticed as he was being pulled in her towel dis-guarded in the corner of the room. He turned and was greeted with the sight of Mei-Ling's ample breasts being thrust at his face and he only had time to lower his beak before finding his head sandwiched between them. "Mei, what are you doing here?" Crane asked. "Apologizing for before," she whispered as a purr rumbled out of her chest. "When I called you a harlot?" Crane asked as he felt his head vibrating from the force of her purr as she leaned her head forward and licked the red feathers on the top of his head. "I over-reacted throwing you through a wall like that," Mei-Ling said. "And if you want me to leave now... I will."

Crane quirked his eyes upward to look at her and then smiled. "No," He said. "Stay." Mei-Ling purred again and licked his head vigorously.
