Days go by, and Tigress's training doesn't change much. Every morning, they start early. She repeats the fluid movements he's taught her while he motivates her in a peculiar way. "If you don't want me right behind you for the next few hours, you better improve those moves," he says, holding her hands, guiding Tigress's movements like she's a child.
Tigress doesn't like it. Every time Aiden's hands run over her body, she feels a mix of discomfort and something she refuses to admit. Fortunately, that feeling fades when they move on to the next exercise. "AH!" Tigress shouts, almost managing to deflect one of Aiden's attacks.
The first few days were a disaster; she couldn't deflect a single hit. But after several attempts, she's started to understand how to apply the movements she's been practicing. Though she hasn't mastered them yet, she's beginning to see progress. "This wouldn't be so bad," Tigress thinks, "if it weren't for those damn massages."
[Medical Room]
In the medical room, Tigress lies face down on the massage table, as she has done for the past few days. Reluctantly, she lets the "perverted human" do his work. Because yes, she's convinced that Aiden is a pervert. She's noticed that, as the days pass, he's become more... daring. Every day, his hands seem to get closer to sensitive areas.
"Is this really necessary?" Tigress asks as she feels Aiden's hands brushing the inner part of her thighs, almost touching the outline of her rear.
"We need to deepen the massage," Aiden responds in his usual calm tone.
Tigress grits her teeth, frustrated. Even when he massages her back, she feels his hands dangerously close to her breasts.
While trying to contain her discomfort, her thoughts take her back to the moment she decided to report him. She remembers how she had planned to speak with Master Shifu about the human's behavior. But much to her dismay, as soon as her training started, Shifu had isolated himself in the Library of the Thousand Scrolls. Disappointed, returning from her failed attempt, she encountered Master Oogway. Even though she didn't want to bother him, she knew she had to do something. She was about to speak when Oogway surprised her by taking the initiative.
"Tigress, I'm glad to see the special training is paying off."
Surprised, Tigress could barely respond: "Really?"
Oogway nodded with his usual grandfatherly smile. "Perhaps you don't notice it yet, but the chi is starting to flow through your body. I've never seen a technique like this; it seems very unique."
The memory of those words brings her back to the present, still lying on the massage table. "I can do this," she thinks with determination. "I can put up with this pervert." She tries to focus on her breathing. "It will all be worth it when this is over."
"As long as he doesn't dare to..." But her thoughts are abruptly cut off when a loud gasp of surprise escapes her mouth.
"AAH!" Tigress snaps her head around to see Aiden, his hands firmly gripping her rear. "You better have a damn good explanation for why you're touching my ass before I tear your hands off," she growls, furious.
Aiden looks at her, unfazed, his expression calm. "Would you believe me if I told you I need to access the deeper muscles to properly work on your meridians? And that sometimes, that involves touching unexpected areas?"
Tigress doesn't believe a word of it. "Get away from me!" she exclaims, but as the words leave her mouth, an involuntary moan escapes her lips when Aiden presses a sensitive spot. "Ah! S-Stop!" Her body begins to heat up, and a sensation she refuses to admit takes over her. "Ah... Ah..." Aiden keeps sinking his hands into her soft flesh. "Ah!... Don't do that!" she moans, trying to maintain control.
But Aiden, unfazed, continues focused on his task. "This is necessary," he calmly responds as his hands begin kneading more deeply, sinking into the soft flesh of her rear. With each press, Tigress feels her muscles relax, even though part of her wants to resist. Her breathing becomes heavier.
"Ah... Ah!... Don't do that!" she repeats between moans, but her words lack conviction. Aiden's fingers move as if they know every corner of her body, kneading, squeezing, searching for each sensitive spot. "Mhmmm…" Her body betrays any attempt at resistance as an unbearable heat builds in her belly. The wetness between her legs starts to intensify.
Aiden keeps working, now slowly spreading her buttocks with a movement that makes Tigress let out another involuntary moan. "Ahh..." she whispers, her face flushed as she tries to contain her reactions. But it's useless. Aiden's hands continue exploring her rear, kneading firmly, pressing and rubbing without pause, and Tigress can't help but shiver with every touch.
Fluids begin to accumulate between her legs, and she struggles to stay still, but her body no longer responds to her commands. "W-Wait... please..." she murmurs, panting, her claws digging into the table as her body trembles under Aiden's attention.
"Get ready," Aiden warns, his voice calm. "Here comes the hard part."
"W-What do you mean?" Tigress asks, alarmed. But before she can process the situation, she feels Aiden press harder, his fingers delving deeper into the most sensitive points of her buttocks. A new moan, deeper and louder, escapes her lips.
"AAAHHH!" Tigress's scream fills the room as her hips lift involuntarily, her body trembling in response. The heat that had built up inside her explodes, and her fluids spill out uncontrollably. As a surge of energy, her chi, flows wildly, her entire body shakes with the tremors coursing through her from head to toe.
She feels every detail: the energy overflowing inside her, the tremors running through her body, the soft breeze of the room brushing against her skin... and Aiden's hands, still caressing her rear with that combination of firmness and softness that leaves her completely at his mercy.
When she finally stops screaming, her body collapses onto the table. Panting, she tries to close her legs, but it's useless. She's reached what seems to be her first orgasm, and the intensity of the experience leaves her trembling. Her sex throbs hard, her thoughts are in chaos, and the heat continues to burn through her body. But amid all that chaos, one thing is clear: "I really hate this human."
[Training room]
"Well, Tigress, you've improved," Aiden says, clapping slowly with a mockingly adoring tone that makes Tigress frown.
"Now, we're going to start with simulated battles. You and me, face to face. You'll attack using everything I've taught you, and I'll hit you with this stick every time you mess up."
"I understand... wait, what?" Tigress looks in disbelief as Aiden holds a stick in his hand.
"Didn't you hear me? I'll hit you with this stick every time you mess up. What part of that wasn't clear?" Aiden scratches his head with the stick, as if he genuinely can't see the problem.
"I understood, but... why a stick? Why not fists?" Tigress asks, still confused.
"You can barely deflect my attacks when I'm standing still, and you want me to attack while you're trying to counter and dodge? You didn't let that compliment go to your head, did you?" Aiden replies with a mocking grin.
Tigress growls in frustration. Aiden has been like this from the start, and while his methods drive her crazy, she can't deny that she's started to notice some improvement. Begrudgingly, she decides to go along with the training.
The fight begins, and Tigress launches the first attack. Her movements are more refined, efficient, dangerous yet calculated. Despite this, Aiden dodges with ease. But it doesn't take long before he notices a small flaw in Tigress's stance.
"Wrong!" he shouts, smacking her on the butt with the stick.
Tigress jumps, fury blazing in her eyes. "YOU! HOW DARE YOU?!"
"Are we doing this again? Do we really have to go back to controlling your emotions?" Aiden responds calmly, as if it's no big deal.
"I'M DONE WITH THIS TRAINING!" Tigress yells, storming out of the room with firm steps, making it clear she's finished for the day.
Aiden just shrugs and also leaves the training room, casually heading off to find the Peach of Wisdom, curious if it tastes any different from a regular peach.
Meanwhile, Tigress, furious and determined to end everything, makes her way to the Hall of a Thousand Scrolls. She doesn't care if she interrupts her master or if her training shows any improvement; she's decided to put an end to this once and for all. With force, she slams the doors open and marches straight toward Shifu.
"MASTER!" Tigress shouts, almost yelling. "I CAN'T TAKE THAT HUMAN ANYMORE! HIS TRAINING IS RIDICULOUS!"
"Tigress, I've been informed about your training with the human. And while his methods may seem... peculiar, I wouldn't say they're ridiculous," Shifu responds, recalling the reports from the geese. Of course, those reports only covered the sessions Tigress had in the training hall.
Tigress clenches her fists, trying to control her frustration. "MASTER, HE...!" She starts to argue, but Shifu cuts her off again.
"Tigress, this is no longer just training. It has become a mission," Shifu says with that firm tone that makes it clear there's no room for debate. "And as your master, I order you to continue. You will train, study, and master the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist in the time you have left."
Tigress stands silent, clearly surprised by Shifu's words. After a few seconds, frowning and still processing what she just heard, she asks cautiously:
"But why, Master?"
Shifu gestures to the many scrolls surrounding them. "Over a thousand scrolls, and there's no mention of that technique here. Some techniques resemble it, but none are as refined or as powerful as the human's. I need you to learn it, and then bring that knowledge to the Library of a Thousand Scrolls."
The master recalls the fluidity of the human's technique: no openings, controlled yet overwhelming strikes. Having a martial art of that caliber in the Jade Palace would be a great addition, not only for Tigress but for future generations.
For Tigress, the idea of adding a scroll—though it's not her own technique—to the library is a great honor, but doubts linger in her mind. "But Master, if they need the technique, why not just ask the human directly? He doesn't seem to mind sharing it."
"I already did," Shifu replies with a slight sigh. "I tried to negotiate for him to add his martial art to the library voluntarily, but..." he pauses, "he said he can only teach it to his 'dependents,' in this case, you. And what they do with that knowledge after receiving it is up to them. So, the only way to acquire this martial art is for you to learn it, Tigress. I hope you understand the importance and value this holds for the Jade Palace."
Tigress remains silent, deep in thought. After a moment, she responds seriously, "I understand, Master."
"Oh, and Tigress," Shifu adds, "you must learn the technique before the two weeks are up. The human said that once that time ends, he will leave the Palace, wander the village for a few days, and then disappear for an indefinite period. He didn't explain why. And considering how discreet his kind has been so far, I doubt we'll easily find him if he leaves."
Tigress nods, understanding the urgency. Without saying another word, she turns and heads toward the training hall.
When she arrives, Aiden is nowhere to be seen. A pang of nervousness hits her. Could he have left after she rejected him? She can't allow Shifu to find out about what happened, so she begins searching for him all over the Jade Palace.
After nearly an hour, she finds him. Aiden is calmly eating a peach while gathering more. Tigress pauses for a moment, then realizes something shocking: these aren't ordinary peaches. He's devouring the Celestial Peaches of Wisdom. And to make things worse, he's filling a bag with them.
"Enough!" Tigress shouts, her voice filled with indignation.
Aiden looks at her with complete indifference and raises a hand to greet her.
"Huh? What's up, Tigress? I thought you didn't want to keep training."
Tigress, despite the anger she feels, remembers what Shifu told her and decides to swallow her pride.
"I made a mistake. I apologize for my outburst," she says, bowing in respect. "Please, train me again."
Aiden crosses his arms, still chewing the peach.
"Mmm, no."
"Thank you for your understanding... Wait, what?!" Tigress exclaims, shocked and furious.
"Well, your control over your strength has improved. I think I've already done my part," Aiden replies, looking at her calmly.
"But you haven't taught me the Water Stream!" Tigress yells, now desperate.
"Eh, eh, eh," Aiden raises his hands, signaling her to wait.
"I helped you control your strength, as promised. If you hadn't succeeded, the Jade Palace would've punished me, but you did. Your strength is under control, and even though the two weeks haven't passed yet, my part is done."
"Martial arts were never part of the deal," he adds with a smile.
Tigress freezes as she realizes he's telling the truth.
"What do I have to do for you to train me again?" she asks, almost in a whisper, but loud enough for Aiden to hear.
"Mmm, there's nothing you could offer me that really interests me," Aiden replies.
"Please!" Tigress bows her head humbly. "I promise not to question your methods again."
"Mmmmm..." Aiden takes his time to think.
"Alright, but if you doubt my methods again, even once, this ends. Now, get up; we have training to do."
"Yes!" Tigress immediately stands up and follows him to the training area, completely forgetting why she was so angry earlier.
"Zap!" A hit on her rear.
"You have an opening."
"Zap!" Another hit.
"You're not flowing well."
"Zap! Zap! Zap!" Aiden continues, smiling.
"Those were because this is fun."
"Master," Tigress says through gritted teeth, "is it necessary to hit my rear?"
"Are you questioning me?" Aiden asks, raising an eyebrow.
"No..." Tigress forces a fake smile.
"I'm just curious, Master."
"No, it's not necessary, but it's better this way. It irritates you, and my goal is to push your buttons, and I see it's working. Now, let's continue."
"Zap! Zap! Zap! Zap! Zap! Zap! Zap!"
That day was particularly long for Tigress.
Author's note: 1k people have added this fanfic to their collection, and I'm sure most of them did it for the cover image. They're sick, but the good thing is that I am too.
With so many people, I questioned whether I should improve the next already finished chapters; then I remembered that nobody pays me extra time, so they'll stay as they are. If you have ideas for future worlds, I'd love to read them; I enjoy hearing new proposals!
