Kikkie: Quick Summary:
HawkMoth is slowly destroy the world with his army of Akuma. As darkness spreads, humanity if force to train its young to fight in the war to save humanity. Marinette is one of these soldiers, but unlike her friends and allies...she has a gift. Something that she and she only can use to to fight the Akuma. Something that could save the world, or ruin it. Rated M for violence, monsters, cursing, possible lemons and fighting!
"I love you."
Her voice whispered through the darkness of the cold wet night. Buildings around her were light with purple flames as dark purple butterflies glide through the air. Grabbing their next victim on sight, but this woman. With her red hair and blue eyes, she wasn't looking at the chaos behind her. Just smiling face in front of her. Another matching pair of blue eyes that had two hands out. The woman with red hair chuckles at this gesture before looking down at the sleeping figure in her arms.
"I love you, I love you so much." She said before handing the sleeping child to the woman with blue hair. Seconds, the baby realizes she is no longer in the arms of someone she loves, but rather in the arms of a stranger.
"We will care for her as if she was…no! She is our daughter now. I'll make she smiles every day and feels loved." The woman said. Her words low and sad, her lips tremble as her eye become full of tears. She holds the baby close to her heart before looking into the blue eyes of the red-haired woman.
"Don't go." She begged. The woman with the red just chuckled at her words. Her eyes begin to turn red as more tears fall down her cheeks. Reaching from her back, she hands the woman a worn out, but a big book that was being protected by the rain with the help of a plastic bag it was in. Handing it to the woman, she gives her a weak smile.
"I have too." She said with a smile. A weak smile this time, but one filled with hope.
"Please…" The woman begged. The red-haired woman just shrugs her words off. Looking down to the red ground that was covered in dark magic and water, she realized her time in this world was slowly fading. Looking back up at the woman with blue eyes that were similar to her, she takes one last breath of air before saying:
"Promise me you won't tell her who I am. Promise me, you will not tell her who her father is."

"MARINETTE!"
A voice shouted upwards towards the room of a blue-haired girl sitting on top of her bed, looking through a magazine called THIS WEEKS FASHION. Her blue hair was tied down into pigtails that were being held by red ribbons. Her blue eyes skimmed through pages of fabrics used for different things, educating herself on the man things the fashion world had to offer.
"MARINETTE DUPIN-CHENG!" The voice shouted again, snapping the girl from her reading. Looking down to where her floor door was, she throws her magazine to the side before leaping down to the ground. Landing on her feet, she looks up to the height of her bed that was on the second floor of her room. Her room was beautiful, filled with colors of pinks and purples, pictures of her friends and crush, a couple of weapons laying around with her sewing tools. What more could a girl want in life?
"Coming!" Marinette responded before opening her floor door. Jumping down, she lands gracefully on her toes before heading to the kitchen to find a curvy blue-haired woman holding in her hands a grey box with a yellow bow on top. It was almost the size of her upper body, from shoulder to shoulder, all the way down to her waist.
"Happy birthday!" The woman shouted as she gives Marinette the box. The small girl sets it down to the ground as she removes the bow.
"I thought we weren't opening gifts until after I got home." Marinette said.
"Oh, this is from your great uncle! He went to the forbidden forest and destroyed a lot of Akuma to forge this for you." Her mother responded. Marinette removes the top to what made her almost faint. She sticks her hand inside to pull out…a ladybug pattern yo-yo.
"Uncle does love playing tricks." Marinette said as she plays with the Yo-yo. Twirling it in her hand for a bit before sticking it into her pocket.
"You should be honored, he hasn't made a weapon since the death of Tikki." Her mother said. The blue haired girl nods her head before looking down into the box. What else she finds surprises her. Sticking her hand in, she pulls out a Ladybug Pattern Chinese dress that looked to be around her size. Then, a pair of shoes from Italy that was her favorite brand, and finally, the family crest. A ladybug laying on top of a rose. Marinette felt honored her great uncle sent her all this, but she was a little sad she couldn't put it on just yet.
"I think I will wear this to dinner tonight." Marinette said with a smile before putting everything back into the box, except for her yo-yo. She then sets the box on the couch before looking over to her mom.
"I'm so nervous about today. What if I fail?" Marinette asked the blue-haired woman.
"Then you always have another year." Her mother responded. "But to be honest, being a Miraculous in this time of age is…dangerous. Akuma attacks are on the rise constantly, people are rationing food like the end is near, and don't forget about human population."
"Which is why it's best if I am a Miraculous. Even if I am not the best, I can still protect the ones I care for." Marinette said, making her mother nodded her head.
"I understand, but remember Mari, your magic isn't really fully developed. In fact, we might think this is as far as you can go with your power." Her mother, making the blue haired girl nod her head.
"Again, as long as I can protect myself." Marinette said with a smile. Her blue move from the direction of her mother to her clock that stood above the door that led to the kitchen. She gasps at the sight where the little hand was about to point.
"I have to go! See you tonight!" Marinette said before giving her mother a kiss on the cheek. She then runs down to the lower half of her home. The scent of warm pastries filled her nostrils as she makes her way to her family bakery. Once there, she gives a giant man a hug on top of his shoulder.
"Bye daddy!" Marinette shouted. The large man chuckles at her imprase as she walks toward the door.
"Do you need some money? Or maybe you want something to eat?" The large man asked. Only for the girl to shake her head at his words.
"I am good, see you later!" Marinette said before running out the door and into the city of Paris. Her mother walks down the stairs, sadness fills her eyes as she watches the young girl skip away. The large man looks over his shoulder and saw his wife with tears in her eyes.
"Honey." He said as he walks over to her.
"She will be fine." He said.
"No Tom…" She muttered as tears begin to roll down her eyes. "I sensed it…I sensed it inside her."
"But maybe she won't activate that power! Sabine we must have faith in Marinette." Tom tells her, but that doesn't stop the tears from rolling down her soft cheeks.
"I wish I could, but I know this will happen. I just pray that the world won't do to her what they did to her mother."
(Marinette)
As she walks to her school, Marinette scans what once was a beautiful city of colors and joy. Now, nothing but dark greys, blacks and even blue's at times. People seemed alright, ignoring the many guards and Miraculous fighters that watched over the streets. And also the dark skies that plagued the world of darkness. Long lines at the groceries made it hard for Marinette to get to class, but she found a way to get by. As she walked, she saw children being escorted to class by men with machine guns to protect them in case of an attack or a crazy person wanting to kidnap them. They walked in lines of two, left for boys, right for girls. Being paired up at a young age because of the new laws. The world was a dark place to live in now, since Akuma somewhat rules over a dying world that was once filled with magic.
The world is slowly dying, Marinette knew that but she kept it to herself. The Akuma, monster that was once humans and living creatures of all sorts, plagued the world in darkness. Spreading black magic all over the world, they caused many bad things to happen. They caused the population to go down, food creation to go down, even people sanity. People were actually going mad, many reasons for that.
"Tikki." Marinette thought to herself. She was the reason all of this is happening. She was also the reason humans are still fighting the great war against Akuma. It was hard to see her as a hero, but no one could see her as a villain. So what was she? She was a Kwami, a soldier whose main goal in life is to protect humanity from the Akuma. That's all there was.
