The love I should have shown you

Author's Note: I totally forgot that Adrien's mother wasn't dead. *Facepalm* But I'm pretending that she is, because this just needs her to be.

4-28-16: I'm sorry that I didn't post this yesterday, the day before THAT there was a HUGE thunderstorm that I tried to drive through it and my car broke down and I've had the worst 24hrs since then...T-T DX

Adrien's akuma powers are a little different. His Cat Noir powers (Cataclysm) have been 'super charged' in a sense and now it's a little different. He doesn't change back after one use either and because I thought it would be cute, his Akuma ability can turn anyone into any cat species at random. (Hence, last chapter) And because he has an Akuma (aka- another Miraculous power) inside of his ring, there's another side effect to this ending.

JUST BECAUSE!

"Adrien...What has he done to you?"

Before Ladybug, only 10 feet away was Adrien...or Cat Noir? Honestly, if Nino hadn't said it was Adrien, Marinette probably would have thought it was Cat Noir...Akumatized.

"It's Feral Blanc now." He snarled out, showing cat-like fangs. His voice was lower and more...bestial.

Feral indeed. His whole body was transformed. Half Cat, half man. The only description that would do it justice was WERECAT. Like Cat Noir's body suit, his whole body was one color. But instead of pure black, it was pure white. And it was real cat fur all over him. His legs were arched like a cat's back legs and also covered in white fur. And he was even taller than normal. He could easily take down a grown man. His chest and arms: fluffy. He even had real large white ears poking out of his hair. His hands were claw-like, and humanish, but his feet were large cat paws. And he had a REAL white tail, which was lashing out. But aside from all that, he had the head of a human boy and he still had his blonde hair... but it too wasn't the same. It was spiked out and much longer, reaching his shoulders. It was messy, like he had been rolling on the ground. He wore a white mask that went over his eyes... his eyes... They were still very green, like Cat Noir's, but they were cat-like slits and had a crazy look to them that Ladybug didn't like.

"No, you're Adrien. You'll always be Adrien." She tried to soothe him.

He only snarled, "Is that all you care about?! Perfect Adrien! Handsome Adrien! Never-out-of-line ADRIEN!" He punched the floor, which split in two from the force. "I'm so much more, but you couldn't care less!"

"That's not true! I-"

"ENOUGH!" He roared, pouncing on her like a cat.

She jumped out of the way. "He's controlling you, Adrien! Don't let him win!"

"He's not making ME do anything!" Feral Blanc snarled, turned and charged again with surprising speed and power.

...Elsewhere...

"Well, well! This is getting interesting. But don't lose focus, Feral Blanc!" Hawk Moth snapped.

...Back...

Shut up! Feral Blanc only hissed out in frustration. No one was going to stop him!

On and on the two went. Feral Blanc attacked and Ladybug dodged, but eventually, both of them were running out of steam...or Ladybug was.

Where is he getting all this energy from?! She was sweating a lot now and hardly had time to think.

Just then, the lights flickered and erratically went on and off, somehow making Ladybug fear the dark even more than usual. He could see her, but what about her? She could hear the rain and thunder from the upper windows but the thunder was even louder.

"Adrien, you don't need someone else's power to- ", He slashed at her with his claws, cutting her off.

"You think it's about that?! I know!" He hissed, eyes narrowing and pouncing again.

She yoyo-ed up to the ceiling railings of the gym, completely out of his reach. "Know what?"

"That you're Marinette! We see each other every day and you never said anything!" He pulled up a piece of wood flooring and chucked it at her, narrowly missing her.

"H-How do you know that?!" She demanded, dodging yet another plank.

"Are you really going to make me say it?! Cataclysm!" He reached for the light switch. The ceiling light near her started to spark like crazy, causing her to leave her spot if she didn't want to get fried. She landed in the bleachers.

"If you know who I am, then why are you freaking out?!" She yelled. Suddenly the lights all went out except for the few that continued to spark everywhere in the ceiling.

Ladybug froze as she knew that Adrien had moved but was too afraid to know where he was going to attack. Nor could she even see!

The blow was fast and deep. She was knocked clean off her feet and tumbled painfully across the slick floors. Her shoulder was bleeding pretty bad and she didn't need to see to know that.

She heard his raspy breath this time before he pounced and she instinctively lashed out with her yo-yo in her other hand.

"That's won't protect you forever!" He snarled, backing off.

"It doesn't have to." She told him, lashing the yo-yo upwards, wrapping around one, then two sparking ceiling lights and with a hard yank, they came tumbling down in front of her, sending large sparks out everywhere. She yelped and rolled away to avoid getting electrocuted. She just wanted some space to think things out.

"Cataclysm..."

Ladybug let out a gasp as the lighting returned (much lower, but still enough to see) and she saw that Feral Blanc was holding two spheres of destruction in his claws before crushing them and placing his hands onto the crashed lights, causing them to turn to dust.

Ladybug had nothing left now, and maybe it was the lightning and thunder going hard now, but she was terrified of the look in his eyes. Like narrowed down prey that knew it could never get away.

...Elsewhere...

"Who knew that Akumatized Miraculous holders were this powerful? He very well could be the strongest one yet." Hawk Moth chuckled. "Now get her earrings!"

...Back...

Feral Blanc flicked off the order with a twitch of his ear. He would when he wanted. He couldn't help but want to play this game a little longer. To inflict as much pain as possible. To return the pain that had been given.

"Not going to use Lucky Charm? I always wanted to know what random object could be used against me." His chuckle was somewhere between a hiss and a rasp.

Ladybug glanced at her yo-yo for a moment, then looked at Feral Blanc.

"I won't use Lucky Charm...not on you."

He looked at her, confused. "Why not?... Feh, not that it matters. You're mincemeat!" He growled, pouncing at her. "Cataclysm!"

"I know you're Cat Noir, Adrien."

Startled, he quickly re-aimed his target to the floor inches away from Ladybug.

"What did u just say?"

"I know you're Cat Noir, Adrien..." Ladybug looked up into the face of Feral Blanc, who's eyes were glaring at her.

"...Since when?"

"Since you gave me the lock and key as Cat Noir. I'm so stupid...I should have seen it before, Adrien." She looked at him, suddenly no longer afraid of him. She didn't know where this courage was coming from but it just seemed to spring out of her.

His own harsh stare wavered. "Then...why?"

"I... have been your partner for so long and I didn't even want to consider that you were Cat Noir...one in the same. I guess I thought if I did, things would be different. I'd no longer be able to look at you the same way."

"And that would be bad?"

"Are you kidding? You've seen me. I can't talk to Adrien at all, but I have no problem talking to Cat Noir..." She looked away, embarrassed and ashamed.

"..."

"I should have realized how much I was hurting you. As Cat Noir and as Adrien. You aren't like anyone else...and neither am I. But even so, we are in the same boat together."

"...B-But I'm different too. As Ladybug, I mean. I've learned to be more confident in myself, just like Cat Noir...like you. Even if I'm clumsy without my Miraculous, I should have the confidence to at least face the boy I love and the partner I can trust with my life." She took a step forward.

He faltered a bit and stepped back, suddenly wary of her. "W-What are you doing?"

"I was scared to admit that I loved you, Adrien, when I should have just said it. Either as Marinette or Ladybug. I should have done this a long time ago."

"W-W-What are you-"

She cupped his face in her hands and pulled his face near hers in a kiss. She felt him freeze up for a second, then relax and pulled her closer to his chest.

"Hehe, well, it's really the second time i've kissed you." Ladybug giggled.

"Well I don't-" He started to chuckle himself but then he loud out a sharp gasp and push her away from him.

"Adrien? What's wrong?"

"Nhh! It's Hawk Moth! I can hear him in my head! U-Use the Lucky Charm! Before I lose control!" He struggled out, all the while having Hawk Moth shouting into his mind and making his vision painfully blurry.

"A-Are you sure? I don't want to hurt you!" She told him.

"Do it! Quick!"

"L-Lucky Charm!" She yelled, throwing out her yo-yo.

A small silver pipe landed in her hands. "A dog whistle? Wait, this is a lazer pointer!" She turned it to see the buttons on the sides.

She looked around for something to use.

She noticed the back wall mirrors reflected images around the gym and she took off. Feral Blanc let out a confused hiss, walking towards her in an unbalance fashion.

She put the lazer pointer in her mouth, with her front teeth pressing down on the buttons. She used her yo-yo to swing into the ceiling railings. She jammed the hoop meant for her figure into the corner of the railings to make it stay there before taking the other end and leaping down near Feral Blanc.

He turned on her, claws slashing out.

She ducked under him and the lazer pointer beam flashed on one mirror, reflecting on another spot and another on the wall. And her constant movement was always shifting the little red dot around. This did not go un-noticed.

Around and around she leapt. From the ground to the ceiling and around Feral Blanc again. Until finally...

"It's over Hawk Moth! Time to give my Adrien back to me!" She leapt up into the railings again and switched the ends of the yo-yo before letting go of the loop end.

With a TWING sound, Feral Blanc let out a screech as he was flung into the air, wrapped around in the yo-yo cord and dangling upside-down.

"Sorry, Adrien." Ladybug slid down the cord to Feral Blanc and removed the white ring from his restrained claws.

She threw it down on the floor and leapt down on top of it, breaking it in the process.

"Alright! Time to purify!" She whipped her yo-yo around and then added, "Bye bye little butterfly."

"Miraculous Ladybug!"

End of Part 3

Yes, it is true. I am adding one last chapter making this story a 4 parter! Because I want to make it up to everyone for not posting this on Thursday! :D

Also, I am very aware that she says "time to de-evil-fy" (however that's spelled), but I REFUSE to type something so silly when PURIFY sounds less stupid.

And he could use as many Cataclysms as he wanted to when he was akumatized

Last Chapter: Afterwards...
