Wishes Unfulfilled

A/N: This is an AU on episode 33 of Heartcatch and a crossover with Miraculous Ladybug. How Hawkmoth, Ladybug and Cat Noir arrived at Kibougahana, Japan shall not be explained. And I also gave more powers to Hawkmoth than the cartoon showed.

I think I'll update this story twice a week, so look forward to Fridays and Tuesdays. This is a short fic so the sixth chapter is going to be the end.

Disclaimer: I don't own Precure or Miraculous Ladybug

Wishes Unfulfilled 1: The Same Page

Use the Heartcatch Mirage and take a look at my Heart Flower! Do you understand now? I can never become a Precure again!

Saying those words hurt more than Yuri thought, she reminded herself of her sorrow, her loss...

And her mistake.

The largest mistake a girl could possibly make in a lifetime, a mistake involving life and death.

She gazed at the purple stone in her palm. It used to be a full circle, now it was a crescent moon shape.

Yet another reminder of her foolish blunder — her Precure Seed, as if the memories weren't enough already.

She had been avoiding this for a long time, hadn't she? Forcing herself to accept a truth that she wasn't ready for, and ended up having it floating around the surface, tormenting her each time a reminder came up.

She tightened her grip around her Seed, the tears she had held in for months suddenly gushing out, "Cologne... I'm sorry..."

Meanwhile, in a certain dark place, Hawkmoth had sensed a new victim for his akumas.

"Let's see what do we have this time..." he tapped his fingers on his cane casually, "Poor girl, what reasons have caused tears to fall?"

He used the power of his Miraculous to look into the depths of Yuri's emotions, and his eyes widened in astonishment, "Tsukikage Yuri... she had had quite the traumatizing experience..."

But as usual, he wasn't the person to feel sympathy, "Interesting. Bring her to me, my butterflies."

A swarm of pure white butterflies exited his lair, finding their way to the poor girl.

Yuri opened her misty eyes as she felt something on her hand, "Oh? A b-butterfly?"

Before she knew what was going on, more and more butterflies came by, enclosing her, she gasped in alarm.

When she could see again, well, not exactly because the room was pitch black and her glasses were stained with her tears. Anyway, she had no idea where she was.

But the room slowly brightened as light poured in from a large window, after she got used to brightness, she saw a tall man dressed in dark purple and a grey mask in front of her.

Her instincts to take charge kicked in, and so her tears dried, "Who are you? How did your butterflies bring me here?"

"Ah, you catch on quick," Hawkmoth commented, seemingly amused, "Very well. You may refer to me as Hawkmoth, and I am a supervillain."

"You're not a Desert Apostle, are you?"

"No, I have heard that our concepts are similar, but no."

"So, what do you want with me?" Yuri narrowed her eyes, she was a tall girl, reaching up to Hawkmoth's shoulder, so standing up straight already showed that she was unafraid.

"Aren't you quite the calm one?"

"You'd be too if you'd been through what I had."

"Oh, but I know what you have been through, Cure Moonlight," Hawkmoth showed a wicked grin when he saw Yuri waver at the mention of her secret identity, "Long story short, my power allows me to sense people's angst or grief, and it just so happens that your sorrow was related to your Precure status so, unearthing this was completely unintentional."

"And?"

"It seems to me that we may be on the same page here."

"How do you think I would react to a supervillain saying that me and him are on the same page?" Yuri scoffed.

"I'll lay it out for you then, with a simple question: If you were given a wish, any kinds of wish, what would you wish for?"

Yuri looked hesitant for a moment, but regained her poise immediately, "You saw my sorrow, you already know the answer."

"Yes. But what I want to know is how far you will go for this wish."

"How far are we talking?"

Hawkmoth gestured at the butterfly brooch in front of his chest, "This is called a Miraculous, the Butterfly Miraculous, it gives me the power of manipulation. But there are two special Miraculous in the world, the Ladybug Miraculous and the Cat Miraculous, if I can seize both of them from..."

"No," Yuri interrupted.

"You are no longer a Precure, Tsukikage-san, you don't need to uphold the honor of being one," Hawkmoth persuaded, "Don't try to push away this wish, it's the only chance you'll get."

"You won't understand my pain!" Yuri raised her voice, she spun on her heel trying to find an exit.

"Not so fast," Hawkmoth aimed his cane at her, firing a purple blast.

She took out her broken Precure Seed and erect a bright violet barrier to protect herself.

"A magical item!?" Hawkmoth stopped his attack.

Yuri didn't answer, she continued to scan for an exit.

Hawkmoth, however, wasn't going to let her. He creeped closer to her this time, silently, his cane a few centimeters away from her back, he blasted her again.

Her fingers let go of the Precure Seed as she was propelled into a wall and fell down, "ARGH!". Suddenly, bars emerged from the floor, trapping her inside like a bird in a cage.

Hawkmoth picked up her tear-stained Precure Seed, "I've always wondered what would happen if I could akumatize a magical item, fascinating!"

"Give it back!" Yuri yelled, she tried but was unable to stand, now she was but a helpless prey, trapped.

A white butterfly landed on his hand, he covered it, and turned it black, he freed it right at Yuri's Precure Seed.

Yuri's countenance was paralyzed in fright as she watched the last remnant of her past secret life being engulfed in black, unable to do anything, again.

The Seed started enlarging, now morphing into the shape of a human.

The blackness wore off, Yuri saw what her Seed turned into — a dark version of her past self.

"Eclipser, rise," Hawkmoth commanded.

Eclipser obeyed, standing up straight, but staring at nothing with her blank eyes. She donned a replica of Cure Moonlight's attire, but everything was a few shades darker, her hair now closer to Yuri's hair colour, and not Moonlight's light lavender. Her Precure Seed now stuck inside the brooch of her costume.

"An akuma made from a magical item and its owner's tears, what power would it bring?" Hawkmoth was ecstatic (in villain standards, at least), he didn't bother to give orders to Eclipser, this time's supervillain had no mind of her own, she was under direct control of Hawkmoth through telepathy.

Eclipser showed no expression, nor did she speak, she just materialize a purple cape and flew away.

Hawkmoth cackled shortly, satisfied, then he turned to his prisoner, "Now, Tsukikage-san, how do you feel about a little reminiscing?"

"You could've... what's the word...? Ah, you could've akumatized me, why did you settle for my Precure Seed?"

Hawkmoth shrugged, "Mostly for the purpose of a good experiment. But I've said it before, we're on the same page."

Yuri looked away, now she didn't quite need to stand to show her unyieldingness.

Hawkmoth ignored the act and continued, "We're similar, we have both lost someone very precious to us."

Yuri felt a nauseous sensation in her stomach. She clutched her head, she couldn't let herself fall prey to this, she couldn't let her sorrow overwhelm her.

She knew that this was most definitely wrong.

"You won't ever get a better chance, will you not even listen to me?"

There's no harm in just hearing him out, right? After all...

She wanted to feel her Precure Seed in her palm, even if it was a symbol of her broken heart, it was still a precious link between her and her fairy, at least it had been.

This isn't right! She told herself.

But she removed her hands from her head.

It doesn't matter. There's nothing right remaining in this world anyways.

How good can the world be when a powerless fairy was slain for a mistake that wasn't his?

End of Chapter 1

A/N: Yes, I know he can't turn an object into a supervillain, but this is my universe now, so go with it.
