Life at the Jade Palace [A Kung Fu Panda Fan-fiction] [TigressxOC]

Chapter 16

(A/N: Thought I'd put some kind of music with this chapter. Song belongs to Sleeping at Last. Name: Saturn.)

Tao's POV:

I can't believe I have Tai back. My brother found redemption and as well found love.

"Hey Tao?" asked Tai Lung, breaking me out of my thoughts.

"Yes?" I reply.

"What's up with you and Tigress?" he asks.

I look over where Tigress is laying down asleep. I smile and turn back to Tai.

"Getting married, that's what." I say.

"Oh, wow. When did you two get together?" Tai says.

"Shortly before you broke out of Chorm Gom Prison." I reply

"Wow, then I am surprised I didn't see you at the palace when I arrived." Tai said.

"Oh believe me, I was PISSED at you and wanted to rip you head off for what you did. But I knew it wasn't my battle to fight, so I helped escort the villagers out of the village."

Tai Lung looked down at the ground, looking ashamed.

"Look Tai, I forgive you. I do."

"Why? Why so easily would you forgive me for what I did?"

"Because I knew that was not you that did all those things. I mean it was you but it was like the real you was locked away in your heart while the evil that Oogway saw in you took over when you were rejected from getting the Dragon Scroll."

He looked at me, as if trying to find something to say, but I started talking again.

"I forgive you because I see that you have defeated that evil inside you and the real you is out from that cage that evil put you in. I forgive you because when I looked in your eyes when you turned that corner I saw MY big brother. The one who would protect me when he thought I was in any sort of danger, the one who would go out and have fun with me."

I took a short breather before continuing.

"The one who was there for me when I needed him the most."
