A/N: I have been wanting to start this for the longest time but took me until now to actually do it.

This will be based off the last episode of season 1… A few days after Marinette gives Master Fu The miraculous book. And this will mainly be Adrian/CN's POV


Chapter 1

"Plagg what am I going to do?! I can't find that book anywhere! What if my dad finds out I took it?" Adrien exclaimed after he returned home after another fruitless search.

"uhh… I'm guessing he'll ground you?" the black cat kwami said in a bored tone as he rushed to cuddle with his favorite camembert cheese.

"Worse! He won't let me go to school anymore and increase my extra curriculars!" he groaned as he face planted on his bed in defeat.

"What's The big deal?" Plagg asked "school is boring anyway. If you're grounded we can just chill here all day."

"Sure the classes may not be as fun and I already know most of it… but I won't get to see my friends anymore… what - what if they forget about me…" he whined into his pillow.

"As long as you don't forget to feed me everything will be fineeee…" Plagg said as he swallowed his roll of cheese in a single bite.

Adrien quickly sat up "What if my dad crams my schedule so much I won't even have time to be Chat Noir?! I won't be able to see M'lady." he sighed blissfully as he glanced at the poster he had of her by his bed. But his expression soon turned to sorrow. "What if she forgets about me? I know she doesn't need Chat Noir to protect the city… but I wouldn't be able to live without her…" Adrien sighed heavily as Plagg just casually lounged around.

"Speaking of… that girl was coughing an awful lot today. I could barely get any sleep in!" Plagg complained crossing his little arms.

"Who? Marinette? Yea, she seems to be coming down with something… I hope it's not too serious…" Adrien said thinking of his classmate who sat behind him.

Plagg was about to say a snide remark but instead, his ears perked up and he suddenly shot up into the air, staring out the window.

Noticing his companion's change in attitude concerned the blonde. 'Plagg's never serious… what's happening?'

He slowly stood up to stand next to the kwami and look in the direction he was… but there was nothing there.

"Plagg you alright?" he reached over to pat the tiny cat on the head to get his attention when he suddenly turned and grabbed his finger… the one where his miraculous rested on.

"Transform kid, NOW! There's an emergency!" Plagg exclaimed in a rush, squeezing his chosen's finger.

"What? Is there an akuma? Is it Ladybug?" the blonde asked looking towards the city searching for anything that might be out of the ordinary or his lady on the rooftops.

"No… maybe? I dunno but we need to get going! I'm sure Ladybug will meet us there!" Plagg said as he pulled Adrien towards the window.

"Plagg please tell me what's going on!" Adrien exclaimed pulling his hand back.

"I'll explain on the way! But we need to get going… like yesterday!"

Adrien saw the desperation in his kwami's eyes. He nodded and called out his transformation.

'Keep heading that way… I'll tell you when we're close…' Plagg said through the ring.

"Ok… now will you tell me what's going on?" Chat asked as he jumped rooftop to rooftop.

'I got a distress call…'

"A distress call from whom? Ladybug?" Thinking his lady was in trouble he picked up the pace.

'No, not from her, but I'm sure she got the same call…'

"Well, who else could call you?" Chat asked using his staff to vault into the sky and gaining momentum.

'The great guardian…'

"Who's the great guardian?"

'Name should be self-explanatory kid.' Plagg sarcastically remarked.

Chat rolled his eyes "You know that's not what I meant… What does he guard?"

'Sigh...to put it simply: he guards us when we are dormant and he helps us choose and get to our new chosen. He's a miraculous wielder like you but far more experienced.' Plagg explained

"A miraculous wielder? Then why doesn't he help in the fight against Papillon? Especially if he has more experience…We could really use his help."

'He just can't… You'll find out why… the building two blocks down is where we need to go.' Plagg directed.

Chat nodded and soon dropped down into the alley behind the Building.

Looking through the small back window Chat was able to see a small kitchen, but nothing or no one else. Trying the back door and seeing it was locked he scratched his head.

"Should I just go through the front?" He asked out loud.

Before Plagg could answer the back door slowly opened.

"Uhh… I checked it was locked…" Chat said as he took a step towards the open door, expecting to see someone waiting inside… but slightly blanched when it was empty.

'It's open now… just go in!' Plagg said impatiently

"I dunno if I wanna go in a seemingly haunted building…this is how all scary movies start" Chat said not moving from his spot.

'It's not haunted, kid.'

"Then how do you explain the door unlocking and opening by itself?!" Chat asked becoming tenser by the second. He took a step back thinking he would just wait for his lady on the roof, when...

"YEOW!" Chat exclaimed, jumping five feet in the air when a hand suddenly grabbed his shoulder.

Landing a couple of feet from where he was on all fours, tail and ears perfectly erect, back arched, eyes wide, a slight hiss escaping his lips… he his fear instantly melted to embarrassment when his eyes landed on Ladybug.

Her hands were covering her mouth as she tried to stifle her laugh, her shoulders shaking, and eyes glowing with mirth.

He quickly straightened up and tried to play it off. "Why hello there M'lady… how funny to cross paths here of all places…" he said leaning against the wall trying to look as captivating as possible.

"Yes," she giggled "very funny indeed."

Chat pouted and looked away, trying to hide his embarrassed blush as she laughed.

"I'm sorry kitty; I didn't mean to scare you." She said after her laughter stopped and cleared her throat. She looked towards the open door. "I assume you got the distress call too?"

Chat nodded, taking in the image of his lady whom he hadn't seen in a few days, since Volpina. It always amazed him that in just seeing her all his worries and exhaustion would just melt away, leaving him refreshed and giddy. It was like seeing the sun after being in a cave for so long. Such a warm and lifting feeling. But in his blatant staring he noticed something was off.

Even though her eyes were sparkling with laughter they were slightly dull, her cheeks were slightly flushed, and she seemed to be breathing a bit hard.

He found himself walking to stand beside her and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"M'lady are you alright? You seem a bit flushed…" he asked concerned.

He felt her tense under his hand as she turned to face him. A seemingly forced smile on her face.

"I'm alright, Chat… I'm worried for the guardian… I just saw him a few days ago and gave him something he said was super important. I wonder if Papillon followed me and hurt him…" she said averting her eyes.

He didn't miss that she sounded different, and being this close he was able to see her eyes and nose were a bit puffy… 'Was she crying? Is she that close to this guardian?'

"You knew him?" he asked trying to keep his jealousy under control.

"Well I officially just meet him a few days ago…I-" she said but was cut off when their kwamis started talking to them through their miraculous.

'Kid, talk inside.' Plagg told him slightly impatient

Chat and Ladybug locked eyes and nodded, knowing they got the same message from their kwamis. Together they walked in and closed the door behind them.

Walking farther in, past the kitchen they found themselves in a sitting room. It had a small table where you would need to sit on the floor to use, a small bookcase in one corner of the room, a large tatami mat in the center of the room, a drawer against the wall with an old Phonograph sitting on top.

It took only a moment before a small green flash zipped out of the Phonograph before stopping right before their eyes.

Instinctively Chat pulled out his staff but was surprised to see Ladybug relaxed. Before he could say anything a voice interrupted him.

"O thank goodness you two have finally arrived!" The tiny turtle like creature exclaimed.

"Wayzz where's Master Fu? Why did you send out a distress call?" Ladybug asked cupping her hands so the tiny turtle could sit in her hands.

"I think he's been captured! Please help me get him back!" He exclaimed as he sat down in her hands, eyes with unshed tears.

"Of course we'll help; we'll search the entire city if we have to! Where was his last location? And why aren't you with him." The heroine asked with a serious expression.

Chet knew that expression well… that was her super focused face. He loved seeing her this way, she always came up with brilliant plans this way... though some were pretty scary or reckless, he always fully trusted her judgment regardless.

But since he was completely lost he knew he had to stop her and get some answers before she was lost to her planning… sure he would follow her lead, even blindfolded, straight into Papillon's lair without a doubt, but it would be nice to have some of his questions answered… like why was this Master Fu so important to her? Did she like him, like him? What if he liked her in return...Chat didn't like the idea of fighting an experienced miraculous wielder but he loved ladybug too much to simply back down without a fight…

"Can someone please tell me what's going on! How do you two know each other? What's with that distress call? How do you know if this person is captured, and not just ran away? And who is this Fu anyway exactly?" Chat asked, trying to keep his tone neutral.

"Sorry Chat. Let us explain…" Ladybug covered her mouth as she coughed before nodded at the turtle who floated out of her hand to float before Chat Noir.

"I apologize for the late introduction. I am Wayzz, the great guardian's kwami, protector and healer of the miraculous stones. It is an honor to officially meet Plagg's kitten, the wielder of destruction." The tiny turtle said with a slight bow.

"Hey, I'm not a kitten!" Chat remarked

'Until you're my age you'll be my kitten.' Plagg smugly said.

"I'll never be as old as you!" Chat whispered back with a slight pout

'Exactly my point, kid.'

Before Chat could give a comeback Ladybug sneezed catching his attention once again.

"Excuse me," She said after her sneeze before saying: "Chat please focus… we need to get Fu back as soon as possible." she indicated Wayzz to continue.

"To answer your questions, wielder of destruction…" Wayzz started.

"Chat Noir…" Chat corrected, to which the turtle kwami nodded.

"To answer your questions, Chat Noir… every kwami is technically able to send out a distress call, it's mainly to call upon the aid of the Great Guardian where he will decided how to send assistance. For not all kwamis are awake in times of crisis. That is why your Kwamis were awakened and you two chosen, Papillon's kwami called out for help. I received the call and my master chose the best route to save him." Wayzz waited a moment for Chat to nod his understanding before continuing "Now when the guardian sends a distress call it is always to the strongest stones, to creation and destruction. The only difference is that, as the guardian's kwami, I can send my location to your Kwamis wherever I may be. And I am able to sense where my wielder is when we are separated." he explained patiently but his nervousness was still visible as he wrung his little flippers together. "I am fairly positive my master is being held against his will, he would never abandon his guardianship duties."

Chat shrugged "Maybe he got tired of it. Not like he's been eager to help in our fight with Papillon."

"Chat…" Ladybug warned before coughing again. Chat was going to ask her if she had allergies when Wayzz caught his attention again.

"No!" The tiny turtle vigorously shook his head "My master would never abandon me! Or his duty! Circumstances keep my master from fighting Papillon directly!"

"Like what?" Chat asked not fully convinced. He knew he should reign in his jealousy, but it was proving to be a challenge.

"Like his guardianship duties." Ladybug answered. She was staring him down and he couldn't help but slightly droop his ears feeling that he was being scolded by his beloved. "If he falls then the other dormant miraculous stones will be open for the taking. He is the last form of defense for them as they sleep. They cannot meet the same fate the butterfly miraculous is in." She calmly told him, no anger in her voice just concern. "Besides he is fighting Papillon in a way, he chose us to fight after all."

Locking eyes with her a moment he knew she was right… so he nodded. "Ok. What can we do to help get him back?" 'Maybe if I save him he will back off…' Chat thought, holding onto that small spark of hope.

Ladybug smiled at him before turning to Wayzz. "Start at the beginning what happened?"

"He left for his annual checkup. I never go with him because it is extremely difficult to hide where there are so many people around, so I stayed behind to watch over the others. He was only to be gone for a few hours, but nightfall soon came and he still hadn't returned. I sensed he was still in the same building he had been all day, so I thought maybe it was taking longer than usual so I thought everything was fine. But the next day came and went... still nothing; he was still in the same building. I hoped that I was just being worried for no reason and waited but I couldn't wait any longer so I sent out my distress call. I know he told you that he would give you time to collect your thoughts and talk to your partner but I am so worried, and I didn't know what else to do..." The turtle said little tears escaping his eyes.

"Don't worry Wayzz, I will always come to you and Master Fu's aid when you need it no matter what. We will bring him back to you." Ladybug said as cupped the kwami and held him close to her face where he did his best to hug her cheek. After a moment they broke apart.

"Can you tell us where he is?" She asked him, where he nodded.

"I can sense where he is in the city but I don't know the street names… I could guide you there myself but I do not feel comfortable leaving the others unguarded…" Wayzz said looking towards the phonograph.

"Hmm... " Ladybug closed her eyes as she hummed pensively. Her eyes shot open after a moment as she used her free hand to pull out her yoyo and pulled out a map of the city. "Tikki says you can link with my yoyo and pinpoint where you are sensing Master Fu."

Nodding Wayzz floated to the yoyo and placed his flippers on it. As they worked Chat was lost in his thoughts.

'Guess Tikki is Ladybug's kwami right?' He asked Plagg

'Wow, you were quick with that one.' Plagg answered sarcastically.

'Shut it Plagg.' He remarked with a frown. After a moment Chat asked his kwami another question 'Hey, is this Fu older than us?'

'Yup.'

'Why hasn't he introduced himself to us before?'

'Dunno.'

'Do you know how Ladybug knows him?'

'Nope.'

'Does he know who we are under the mask?'

'Duh.'

'Are you worried about that at all?'

'Nope.'

'Can you answer with more than with just one word?!' Chat asked frustrated.

'Maybe…'

'Arghhh!' Chat was on the verge of flipping his lid.

'Relax kid. I don't know why you are getting so worked up. It's just another day in the life as one of my kittens.'

'I'm not a kitten…' he mumbled

'Well, you definitely not a lion…' Plagg snickered.

'You're getting cheddar for dinner tonight.' Chat deadpanned.

'Nooooo! You can't do that to me!' The cat kwami wailed.

After a short moment of Plaggs wailing. Chat asked another question.

'Hey, do you think M'lady likes this Fu?'

'How am I supposed to know? Just ask her if you're so curious.' He replied, hoping his wielder will forget about his punishment if he answers in full sentences.

'What if she says yes? She's already shot me down multiple times…what if we save him and she doesn't want to be my partner anymore… that she wants to be with him instead? I don't want to lose her...'

Plagg groaned, but his desire for his beloved Camembert was far greater than his annoyance right now. 'Look kid no matter what, the bug and cat will always be in each other's lives one way or another, even after you return your miraculous to the guardian.'

'What do you mean?'

'Sigh… this is more Tikki's department but here goes nothing. You two are each a side of a coin, I guess, one cannot be without the other.'

'So does that mean we will get married one day?!' Chat asked excitedly.

'No.' Chat's ears drooped.

'But you said…'

'You two will always be in each other's lives sure, but that doesn't exactly mean she will be your mate.' Plagg cut him off 'Just means you will always be in each other's lives… in what way, well that will all be up to the both of you. But things can and most likely will change down the road.'

'So we will at least be friends forever?'

'Purrhaps… or purrhaps enemies…'

"What?!" Chat exclaimed.

"Weren't you paying attention Chat?" Ladybug asked with an arched brow. "We are going to have to sneak in through the vents in order to get into the building…" She said with a small cough.

"Uhh… sorry, M'lady, I zoned out there for a bit." Chat asked as he rubbed the back of his head.

Ladybug shook her head. "Focus Chat this is a rescue mission and it's going to take all your stealth to pull this oo-o-ff…ACHOO!"

"Are you alright Bugaboo? You've sneezing and coughing a lot…" Chat asked concerned as she blew her nose on some tissues that were at the far end of the room.

"I'm fine…" She started before slightly wobbling back.

Before she reached them Chat rushed to her side when she placed a hand on her head and started tilting back.

"Ladybug!?" Chat exclaimed as he steadied her against him. He placed a hand on her forehead and was shocked to feel her so warm even through his gloves. "You have a fever! Why didn't you say anything?" He asked extremely concerned.

"I'm fine. We need to save Fu." She said weakly pushing away from him, but he kept a firm hold on her.

"Is he that important to you? That you will endanger yourself for him when you are in no condition to help anyone. Do you care about him that much?" Chat asked, scared for the answer.

"Yes, we have to save him." She said without a moment's hesitation

"Chat Noir is correct, Ladybug. You are not strong enough to save my Master in your current condition. If you go then it will only burden Chat Noir, you must stand down." Wayzz insisted as he floated closer to her.

"But we can't wait for me to get better, we have to go after him… who knows what's happening to him in there." She said worry heard in her voice.

'She won't stop, will she… ?' Chat thought, seeing the determination burning in his lady's blue-bell eyes.

"I have to go-"

"No!" Chat stated firmly. "I will go, you will recover."

"But…" she started

"Don't you trust me Bugaboo?" He pouted to her, even slightly drooping his ears. He perked up when she shook her head "I promise I will bring this Fu back to you, ok?" Chat told her, no doubt was shown in his emerald eyes.

Ladybug nodded. "I believe you, Kitty."

"Good." He gave her his confident Chat smile "Now run through your brilliant plan on how I'm gonna pull this off."


Well there you go, chapter 1. I hope you liked it...

One thing, yes Plagg and Tikki know who Chat Noir and Ladybug is under the mask (that's why Plagg mentions Mari the way he does). Just wanted that to be clear...

Anyway, i will try to upload as much and as fast as possible but no promises.

Hope you have a chance to review and comment. I love reading them!

'Til next time!

Love
