In the day time, she was Marinette.
"Ladybug! Behind you!" Chat Noir warned. She quickly jumped back, dodging the kishin's attacks.
This time, the kishin was a boy who had been bullied relentlessly throughout his life. His eyes were painted with sadness, he already had eaten a dozen pure human souls. Ladybug kept dodging the attacks, trying to think of something.
"Hey Chat?" Ladybug threw up her yo-yo, pulling herself up to one of the beams, away from the enemy.
"Ladybug….come, come out wherever you are!" Singsonged the kishin. There was a sick smile plastered on his face. A once pure soul, twisted into something so inhumane, made Ladybug disgusted.
Ladybug looked at her black yo-yo, and saw her partner's, Chat Noir's, reflection.
"Yes, my lady?" He purred, his eyebrows wiggling and eats twitching.
Ladybug held back a laugh, not wanting to give away her position, "Are you almost ready to do that thing yet?"
Just a normal girl, with a normal life.
"Ooo, our signature move?" A smirk was plastered on Chat Noir's face, a smirk that made Ladybug happy he was her partner. If she ever had to face a villain with his smile, one that wasn't twisted or corrupted, but rather playful and sincere - she wasn't sure if she'd have the guts to finish that person off.
"We have three signature moves, silly kitty." She teased.
"Well, lucky charm is at one-hundred percent, my lady." He winked.
Ladybug smiled, standing up on the beam. She threw up her yo-yo, a green aura glowing around it. "Lucky...charm!"
The kishin turned towards the spotted heroine, delighted to finally fight. What he wasn't expecting, however, was for her small yo-yo to be turned into a giant scythe. It was black with a shamrock green paw print in the corner and four, large, cat scratch marks on the blade of it.
But there's something about her, that no one knows yet.
"Kishin!" Ladybug boomed, swinging back the scythe.
"We're going to take your soul!" The kishin heard two voices talking at once, one was for sure Ladybug's and the other a male's. The Kishin tried to scurry out of the warehouse, but Ladybug already jumped above him, ready to pounce.
"Purrrification at one-hundred percent." The male voice said, right when Ladybug was already swinging her scythe and in mid-air.
"Time to purify!" The two voices echoed in his head, that's when he heard it, that's when he felt it. There was a sharp sound, like a pair of scissors snipping next to his ear. In his core, it felt like a dozen cats clawing at his insides, then, he was filled with a fuzzy feeling - as if a ton of ladybugs crawled up, fluttering in his stomach.
The kishin, who was no longer a kishin, looked up dazed. There was a red butterfly floating from his abdomen, it was a horrid red. The boy was confused, the butterfly tried flying away, but a boy with cat ears and glowing green eyes caught it, swallowing it whole.
"Thank you for the meal, bugaboo." The cat got down on one knee, and kissed the vigilante the boy knew as Ladybug. "I hope you can take me out again, sometime soon."
The boy blacked out before he could see Ladybug's answer, not knowing he would forget everything by the time morning came.
Ladybug giggled, swiping her hand away. "I'd kill a thousand souls for you, alley cat."
'Cause she had a secret.
