Hi guy's!!!! Real quick note. If you haven't read my other story. Then this one might be confusing. So go read my other story! Then come back!!!
Chapter one. Returning to the Jade Palace.
Six months had past since Leon and Shadow had left the Jade Palace.
"Hey everybody!!!! Look what I got!!!!" Tigress yelled as she ran into the Training Hall.
"What is it!?!" Po asked. "Yes! What do you have, Tigress?" Shifu asked, walking over to her.
"It's a letter! From Shadow and Leon!!!" Tigress cried happily.
"Well... what are you waiting for? Read it!!!" Viper said. Tigress shook her head happily
"Ok!!! Dear Friends... how are you? Leon and I are doing just fine! We were able to find all of our friends and they joined us in restoring the valley! I miss you all very much!!! And can't wait to see you. Speaking of which!!! We will be returning to the Jade Palace in about three months!!! I can't wait to see you all!!! Oh and Leon says hi! He would have written to you as well. But he's busy. I'm afraid I must go. I can't wait to see you all. And I'm sorry I haven't written to you until now. We just got the messengers to stop by here! But I will see you all very soon! Your loving friends... ~Shadow and Leon!!!". Tigress said, finishing the letter.
"I'm SO glad their coming home!!!" Viper said. "Yeah!!! Hey! We should have a party!!!" Po said excitedly. "Panda... their not coming back for three more months!" Shifu said. Though he was smiling.
Po just frowned and started to whimper.
"(sigh) all right. You can have a party!" Shifu said. "Just keep it down!".
"YES!!!!! Party time!!!!" Po said as he started to dance around.
Tigress smiled. It would be so good to see them again.
Later that day. Po and the others had just finished their party and were cleaning up.
"TIGRESS!!!!!" Shifu yelled.
"Wow! He sound's mad!!!" Mantis said. "Yeah!!! What did you do, Tigress?" Monkey asked.
Tigress just shrugged her shoulders. "Guess I'll go see what he wants!!!".
Though she knew what Shifu wanted.
Tigress ran down to the lake. And there was Shifu. "Master Shifu!" Tigress said, bowing to him.
"Tigress... it's you and me now!" Shifu said. "What are we going to do today, father?" Tigress asked.
WAIT!!!! Father!?! That's right readers. After Shadow and Leon left. Shifu told Tigress that they should spend more time together. So almost everyday. They would meet down by the lake and spend time with each other. Just father and daughter.
"I thought we would just sit and mediate today..." Shifu said. Tigress smiled and sat down next to him.
Finally. It was time for dinner. "Thank you, Master Shifu!" Tigress said, bowing.
"No... thank you!" Shifu said, bowing as well. Then they walked to the Jade Palace.
The days turned into weeks. And the weeks turned into months. When finally the day came for Leon and Shadow to return to the Jade Palace.
They packed very little. For they knew if they packed light they could move quicker.
Which meant they would see their friends faster.
"You ready, Hon?" Leon asked. Walking into their hut.
"Yeah! Just give me a minute!" Shadow said getting up from the bed. Leon shook his head and walked out.
Shadow started to walk outside. But then she started to shake a little.
"Oh, come on!" she thought "I don't need this now!". But then she stopped shaking.
She sighed in relief, then walked outside.
"Good bye!!!" They both yelled as they left the valley.
"I'm going to miss that place..." Leon said sadly. "Well... we could always visit!" Shadow suggested.
Leon smiled. "You're always thinking!!!" He said as he gave her a hug.
They walked for what seemed to be forever. When they finally made to the Valley of Peace.
"We made it!" Shadow said as they walked into town. They were about half way to the Jade Palace when Shadow suddenly stopped. One paw flew to her stomach.
"Shadow? What's wrong?" Leon asked. Becoming worried.
"I think we need to get to the Jade Palace. Right now!" Shadow said, as she started to pant.
"Why?" Leon asked. Shadow looked up at him. "It's time..." she said with a smile. Leon shook his head and helped her to the Jade Palace.
They finally made it up the steps. And into the Palace. Where they saw Shifu walking past.
"Master Shifu!!!" Leon yelled. "Leon! Shadow! We didn't think you would be here so soon!" Shifu said.
"Ahhh!!!! Can we save the family reunion for later!?!" Shadow asked as she clung to Leon for support.
"What's wrong!?!" Shifu asked. Walking over to them.
"Shifu! Go and fetch a doctor!!!" Leon said as he helped Shadow to the bedrooms.
Shifu looked at him. Not understanding. "Why? What's wrong?" he asked.
"Shadow's going to have a baby!!!" Leon said happily.
Shifu stood there for a moment. Then ran off as fast as he could...

Okay, that's it. I can't take it any more! I'm posting the next chapter NOW!
Chapter eleven: Packing time
Our heroes returned to the Jade Palace. Leon walked to his and Shadow's room. He looked around.
He felt tear's prick his eyes. And before he could stop them, they rolled down his face. He walked over to the bed and sat down on it. He buried his face in his paw's and wept. He couldn't lose Shadow.
He loved her with all his heart. He just couldn't lose her. She was his best friend. The mother of his children. His wife. She was always there for him. Why couldn't he have been there for her.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Leon looked up at the door and saw Po walk in.
"Leon? Are you ok?" Po asked, sitting down beside him. "I can't lose her, Po! I just can't!" Leon confessed. The tear's were still spilling down his face. "You're not gonna lose her. We're gonna get her back! You've just gotta believe it!" Po said, patting him on the back. Leon smiled at him.
Po could always make him feel better. Then Po got up. "I better get done packing. Don't want Shifu yelling at me!" Po said with a laugh. Leon laughed as well. "See ya soon!" Po said.
Then he walked out of the room. Leon sighed and got up off the bed. He walked over and picked up a sword belt. he fastened on and picked up a beautiful sword. It was light blue and had patterns like the wind on it. Shadow had given it to him for a wedding present. He had gotten very good at using it while doing Kung Fu. He put it in it's pouch and grabbed a few more thing's before walking out the door.
He walked to Silver and Blaze's room. They were packing as well. "Where do you two think you're going?" Leon asked. "We're going with you!" Blaze said. "We want to help save mama, too!" Silver protested. Leon sighed. "I don't think that's a good idea. I don't want you to get hurt!" Leon said. "We're coming and that's that!" Silver said, crossing his arm's. Leon shook his head. He really was just like Shadow. "Fine. But I want you to stay close, understand?" Leon asked.
They nodded their head's happily.
Leon left them to get done with their packing. He walked through the hall's, when he bumped into Shakira.
"Oh I'm sorry!" she said, backing up. "No. It was my fault!" Leon said. "Um, Leon... My children and I would like to come with you!" Shakira said. Leon stared at her. "We couldn't ask that!" Leon protested. "We want to. Shadow and I are a lot alike. I want to help. And my children like her. They want to help as well!!!!" Shakira said. Leon smiled. "Thank you." Leon said quietly. "It will be alright! We'll get her back!" Shakira said sweetly. Leon smiled. She was like Shadow. Leon left her to pack and walked out to the lake. He looked around. He had married Shadow here. It was a special place to him and Shadow.
He walked over to a rock and sat down on it. He just sat there. He wasn't sure if he should feel happy that they were going to get her. Sad that she was gone. Or worried about what Tanis might do to her.
All these feeling's swirled around inside him. But nothing happened. No joy. No fear. No tear's.
Soon Master Shifu came to find him. "Leon?" he asked. Looking around. "Right here, Master Shifu!" Leon said, getting up from the rock he was sitting on. "Ah! There you are! Are you ready to go?" Shifu asked. Leon nodded his head. "As ready as I'll ever be!" he said. Shifu smiled at him. "Then let us be off!" he said, turning back to the Jade Palace. Leon fell into step with him. When they got back to the palace. They saw everybody waiting for them. Leon smiled. "We will find Shadow. We will bring her home. And Tanis. Will. Pay!" Leon thought as he picked up his bag. And they set off in search of Shadow...
I know, I know, I just need to go ahead and post the next chapter, I'm sorry everyone, I'm just... going through a lot, but I'm trying, I promise! The fact I haven't dissapeared from the boards is a good sign!
I really hope Shadow will be okay!
Ruby; She has to be okay! She's Shadow! And Leon will definately save her....right?! I mean...he's LEON!
Travis: *covers mouth* They get it.

Chapter ten. Time for a plan!
Tanis stood there, smiling at Shadow. He still had a tight grip on her throat. She wiggled and squirmed. Trying to brake free of his grasp. He started to tighten his grip.
Shadow stared at him fearfully.
"Do you really think I'm going to kill you?" Tanis asked. "(pant, pant). What do you think?" Shadow asked. "Hmm! Where is Leon and Tigress?" Tanis asked. Shadow just growled at him. He smiled even more.
"You know... You really are very pretty! I bet your children take after you!" Tanis said with a grin. "How do you know about my children!?!" Shadow demanded.
"That is for me to know. And you to find out!" Tanis replied. "Now... I think it's time we got going!" Tanis said. Shadow stared at him.
Then he pulled her away from the wall and slammed her into the ground. The blow was so hard, it knock the wind out of Shadow. She took deep breathes. She was panting hard. Tanis smiled. She was weak.
"It won't be hard to deal with her now!" Tanis thought walking over to her. She tried to get away, but she was to weak to move very quickly. Tanis walked to her and stepped on her tail.
"OWWW!!!" Shadow cried on pain. Swinging her tail around to look at it. It would be bruised for awhile. Shadow growled at him. He was really getting on her nerves. Tanis walk towards her.
"You really think I'm going to let you get away from me so easily? HA! That's a laugh!" Tanis said with a laugh. Shadow trembled in fear. What would happen now?
"Time you learned of my true power! POWER DRAIN!!!" Tanis yelled. A bright light shown out of his paw's and headed towards Shadow. The light engulfed her, then disappeared. All that was left was a very tried Shadow. She panted hard and laid her head on the ground. Then she passed out.
Tanis smiled in delight. He had been practicing that move. And it would seem he had mastered it.
The move that Tanis used was, as he said, Power Drain. What it does is drain's it's victims energy level's. Which as you just read, can cause it's victims to pass out. Making it easy for it's user to capture the victim.
"Finally! For Tigress and Leon to get you back, they'll have to come and get you. Well... If they can find you! Time we got going. TELEPORT SHOCK!!!" Tanis yelled. Lightening came up around them.
Then it vanished. Taking them along with it. There was no trace of them. Except for one thing.
A few minute's later...
Leon and the other's arrived on the scene. They looked around and saw the mess that had been made.
Then Leon walked to an overturned barrel. He pushed it out of the way and picked up something.
He stared at it, then felt tear's run down his face. He slowly got to his feet and held it close to him.
It was the flute he had given Shadow at their wedding.
When she had seen Tanis, she had dropped it and her bag. Po walked over and patted Leon on his back. "It's ok, Leon. We'll find her!" he said, trying to comfort him. Tigress walked over and picked up her bag.
She looked inside it and found a note. It was from Tanis. "Leon! Take a look at this!" Tigress said, handing him the note. He took it from her and read it out loud.
"Dear Leon, Tigress and all you crazy people at the Jade Palace. If you ever want to see your beloved Shadow again. Then you have to find her. I've taken her away with me and you will never see her again unless you find me. Good luck Leon. You will need it! But because I am so nice, I shall give you a hint. It is close, yet far away. Have fun searching, Leon! ~Tanis".
Leon handed the note to Tigress and walked over to a tree and hit it as hard as he could. "Leon... Punching tree's isn't going to help!" Tigress said gently. She knew how mad her brother was. She was mad too.
"Daddy! Where's mama!?!" Silver asked walking over to Leon. Leon turned to see Shakira, Lance Kira, Silver and Blaze. "Silver!?! Blaze!?! What are you two doing here!?!" Leon asked, walking to them. "We wanted to help!" Blaze said, tear's in her eyes. Leon looked at Shakira. "I'm sorry Leon. They wouldn't stay at the palace. They wanted to help and they ran off after you!" Shakira apologized. "It's alright!" Leon said, as he bent down and hugged his kids. "What happened to mama, daddy!?!" Silver asked. Leon sighed "I'm afraid mama's been taken away by a very bad man!" Leon said. "But we're gonna get her back, right?" Blaze asked. Leon smiled. "You bet we are! Come on guys. Let's get back to the Jade Palace and get some thing's. Then we're off to find Shadow!" Leon said.
They all nodded their head's and headed off...
