Chapter- 11: The punishment

New chapter. Enjoy :)

Po, the Five and Woo were in the dining room.

"Woo, don't be afraid, no one will hurt you, just tell us the exact thing." Po said, politely.

Woo took a deep breath and raised his head up to look at Tigress, who had a stern and emotionless expression. He lowered his head again. "I- It all started when I was having my fight with Kai Lung was defeated badly. He was going to kill me at first, but then he changed his mind. He said that if I edify him with the secret techniques of Kung Fu, he will not hurt anyone with the Golden Spear. I told him that I don't know it. So he asked me to learn it from my master and then tell him everything. I refused. He threatened me that if I don't do as he says, he will use the Golden Spear to finish everyone in the Jade Palace and the Valley. He put me in such condition that could say nothing but yes."

"You're just nonsense." Tigress said angrily. "Why didn't you figured out that if he masters the secret of Kung Fu, he can kill anyone!"

"But he said he will not."

"And you believed him?!" Tigress shouted, throwing her fist on the table. "I don't understand why you believe in people so fast!"

"Tigress, just let him finish." Po said. She sat down.

"I know what I did was really stupid. But I was injured, he was torturing me, I was unable to even think clearly. I said no first, but then he threatened me that he'll kill you." He said, looking at Tigress. "It made me say yes." He said to her, lowering his voice. "Honestly, I was stuck. I didn't know what should be my decision, and that's why this happened."

"See Tigress, that's because you never let him take his own decisions." Po said to her, reminding what he said. "Try to be understanding. All he did, he did for you, he did for us." Po said. "He isn't much experienced, that's why he made this mistake in taking such big decision." Po said.

Tigress looked at him emotionlessly. "I know. Well Po, I said if I don't find his reason sensible enough, I'll not forgive him. And I honestly found is story totally nonsense." Everyone looked at her.

"But Tigress..." Po started.

"It was our deal, Po. And can you guess how big that mistake is? And there are two ways to deal with a mistake: Punishment or forgiveness. And I won't forgive him." She said sternly. "Woo, I'll give you a punishment that you may have never experienced ever before." Woo gulped. "I'll not strike you, or Po will get mad at me again. But you'll never forget this one moment ever." She turned back. Everyone looked at her silently. After a few seconds, she opened her mouth to speak. "You're banished from the Jade Palace, and the Valley of Peace forever." everyone gasped, no one had expected that.

"What?!" Woo asked.

"Yes, which means, there's no place for you in this palace anymore. Just pack your stuff and leave, and never show me your face ever again. Go wherever and do whatever you want."

"N-No! You can't do that!" Woo said, standing up. His chair fell down behind him. "How could you leave me in this situation?!"

"Shut up! It's your fault after all! I always believed I can trust you blindly, but you just broke my trust! I'll never forgive you!" She shouted angrily. She then closed her eyes and tried to calm herself. "...Just leave." She said, walking away.

"But Tigress-" Viper started.

"And I demand nobody's interfere, Viper." She replied.

"No!" Woo grabbed her paw. "Please master! I accept my mistake. Please, just give me one more chance, I will not disappoint you! Please master! Don't just throw me out."

She broke his grip and eyed him coldly. "You do not deserve one more chance. You dared to lie from me; this shows that my orders means nothing to you anymore, so you better leave. You do not deserve forgiveness. You do not deserve a place in my palace." She turned to leave.

"Master, everyone makes mistakes. And don't you know sometime forgiveness works more than punishment?" he asked. Tigress now had enough. She growled and turned back, giving a really, really hard smack on his face, fell down. Her paw even left a mark on his face.

"Shut your mouth up! I don't need your advice! Go, pack your stuff and prepare to leave! And yes, be aware of whom you you're talking to."

Woo patted his cheek. "Yes master. And of course the magnificent Master Tigress can never make mistakes, right?" She said angrily. Tigress growled and started leaving. She stopped at the door.

"Stop showing me your wisdom. Making mistake isn't a good thing." She said and left.

"Woo, you okay, buddy?" Po asked, as Woo had just received a tough smack on the face.

"Yeah." He replied and went to his room. He sat down on his bed, patting his cheek. She just wanted him gone, but he could never forget her last line, that she said to him.

To Be Continued...
