It Takes Two To Tango

If you were to ask him what exactly happened or how it all began, he wouldn't be able to answer. He could only tell you everything was confusing.

Trying to understand what has been happening since he defeated Tai Lung was something that was giving him headaches. The first time it happened he had been left stunned, lying on the ground with his mouth hanging open and his eyes about the size of a plate.

He remembered it had been on his fifth mission along with the Furious Five.

He was excited. Always was whenever he had to go with them on some heroic mission. Bandits, pirates, thieves, you named it, and Po would always be ready for some action and to show his awesomeness to the world.

Little by little he was proving himself to the Furious Five without realizing most of them had already accepted him. He was one of the team ever since he defeated Tai Lung.

But of course, there was still some awkwardness around Tigress. Up until Po appeared and started joining them in training and missions, Tigress had been the unnamed leader of the Furious Five. All of them would look up at her to see her reaction, to hear what she had to say. Now, with Po around them, his opinion was being heard and his words were taken seriously.

In a way, he was starting to take a road down leadership in the group, without even noticing.

The mission had been an easy one. A couple of guys pretending to be some emissaries from the Capital; Po and the others took good care of them leaving them ready for a trial back in the Capital.

But since winter was begining the couldn't make their way back to the Valley of Peace yet. The night had been a stormy one, snow was starting to fall and the cold of the night would surely kill them if they tried to return to the Valley that night. So, of course, they stayed in the city.

The room they had acquired belonged to the village leader who offered his home as a thank you.

Po watched as the Furious Five, minus Tigress, engaged themselves in a game of Bāshí Fēn that Viper was, so far, winning. Crane was looking at his game intently, frowning as he snorted exasperated while Mantis was trying to look at his cards without letting Monkey watched his game. This was a little difficult seeing as the cards were almost as tall as Mantis.

Viper was smirking smugly, one eyebrow raised as she dared the others to make their move.

"For some reason, I think you're cheating" mumbled Monkey narrowing his eyes at Viper.

"Oh, please, you said that every time I win."

"Yeah, maybe because you always win." Viper chuckled while shaking her head.

"Come on guys!" said Viper battling her eyelashes at the rest of the guys. "Let's see the deal."

"I refuse to keep playing this game on the grounds I can't even look at my cards." Said Mantis crossing his arms. His words make Po and Monkey snickered even after he glared at them.

"Mantis, you always said the same. If you can't hold the cards then why you keep playing?" asked Crane looking over his own cards.

Mantis opened and closed his mouth before settling down with his arms crossed and a…pout, on his face.

Po put his hands on his mouth holding his laugh in there so he wouldn't have to face an angered Mantis. He watched the interaction until he suddenly realized someone was missing. With a frown on his face, Po lifted his head looking around the room until his eyes finally found what he was looking for.

Tigress was leaning against the threshold, a shadow falling on her face, hiding her from the curious eyes of her friends. For a moment Po looked at her, taking in her presence and wondering what she could possibly be thinking.

Lately, Tigress had been strange. Even the others were saying that much about Tigress and they had known her the longer. She was more silent and contemplative, sometimes she was aggressive with a hint of confussion in her actions. Overall with Po. It was as if something about the Panda bothered her. And Po thought she did have tons of reasons to be mad at him.

With some sadness, Po lowered his face. He thought they were past all the hard feelings that rose when he was chosen as the Dragon Warrior. Apparently, they weren't.

Po lifted his gaze once again and almost jumped in surprised when he noticed Tigress looking at him. Her eyes gleaming yellow, looking directly into his own jade ones.

Po should have known there was something wrong. The signs coming from Tigress behavior should told him there was something there. But Po had never been the subject of such 'things'. He had never been the focus of anyone's attention.

So, when he saw Tigress watching him, without knowing the meaning of her stare and she turned around and left, Po couldn't help but follow.

There was something in Tigress eyes that was calling to him. Of course, his mind and common sense were yelling at him to stop think about it. To ask someone for advice or help.

But Po wasn't listening, mainly because Tigress eyes were one of the many features Po lo…like about Tigress.

What happened next was…confusing.

The cold air from the night hit Po straight in the face and chest; he felt a shiver travel down his back as he stepped out of the protection of the house. There was no one out there but Po could see the small foot-prints from Tigress just outside the door.

There was no moon so the night was dark and he couldn't see his attacker, only felt it.

Two strong hands grabbing him by the shoulders and pushing him hard against the cold ground. He could also hear a low growl mixed with a purr. He could feel a pair of lips crashing against his.

It wasn't soft or loving. His first kiss, ever, was hard and full of emotion. The only thing he was aware of was of the warm body above his, the soft lips moving, demanding and taking what they wanted. He was also well aware he was responding, which he thought strange since he didn't know how to kiss.

But, as soon as it started it was over and, as his attacker raise, he could see clearly Tigress face.

Her eyes were looking down at him with a strange gleam in them; her tongue was licking her lips, tasting them while her claws dig further into Po's shoulders making him wince.

Before Po could say or do anything, Tigress was up and gone.

what the hell had just happened?

Bāshí Fēn : According to wikipedia this a chinese card game. It's a trick-taking card game which rules vary according to the region.
