Marinette-

I was walking down a dark empty street unsure of where to start my search. I needed information but I wasn't too sure where to get it.

"Do you know where you're going?" the annoying cat boy asked from behind me for the third time.

"yes." I said shortly.

"Really, because we've now passed this building for the fourth time. I think you don't know where you're going."

I groaned aloud, frustrated that he was still following me, annoying me to death.

"If you have somewhere else to be you can leave."

"No, I've got nowhere to be, I just thought that maybe you would like some directions."

"I don't need anything from you." I said venomously over my shoulder still looking for an inn or a pub, somewhere where I could get information.

"Really? Because that's not how it looks from where I'm standing."

I ignored him looking desperately for any sign of people. I needed a new vantage point. used my yo-yo to get to the top of the building and I looked down on the city. Cat boy followed me quickly and I found myself wishing that I had never talked to him.

"What are you looking for?" He asked as I peered over the city.

"Nothing." I said scanning the hideous buildings for lights or humans, there hast to be some place that's open right now.

"Right... you've only been walking around in circles looking like a lost puppy for half an hour."

"I have not!" I said.

He sat on the ground absentmindedly twirling his baton in his hands. "Have too."

I sighed exasperated, "Why don't you leave me alone?"

he shrugged. "If some weird Lady dressed like some sort of masked vigilante stopped you when you were minding your own business, you would be curious what she's up to."

"I do not look like a vigilante, you do."

He opened his mouth to say something sarcastic but his voice was cut off by a scream. I spun instantly to where the sound was coming from.

"What was that?" I asked and he stepped up closer towards the sound and extended his baton.

"trouble." was all he said before taking off towards the sound.

I followed him and when we arrived we saw a woman trying desperately to run away from a giant wolf.

Cat boy grabbed the woman and safely deposited her on the other side of the street and turned towards the wolf defensively.

I landed next to him ready for a fight. Not even speaking to each other, we leapt into action keeping the wolf from chasing after the woman by distracting it.

The cat boy was knocked away by the huge monsters tail and he leapt at me, pining me between his paw and the cobblestones. I use all my strength to push his giant teeth away from my face when I was finally save by the cat boy who whacked it hard with his baton.

The wolf turned back and ran away and the Cat boy helped me off the ground.

"Thank you." I said, dusting off my clothes, adrenaline coursing through my body. "Don't thank me yet." he said, his eyes pined on the building that the wolf had disappeared behind.

"What do you mean? That thing is gone." I said but as if waiting for the opportune time to make an entrance, a man came around the corner three oversized wolves at his side.

"Who is he?" I asked suddenly but the cat boy didn't answer.

"I am Lupus, My wolves were being killed for their pelts, but no longer, now they will kill you!"

The cat boy turned to me, "You have to get out of here, I'll distract them, and you run."

I scoffed loudly, as if I was ever going to run from a fight.

"I don't think so," I said, "Things just got interesting."

He faced Lupus and shook his head, "Suit yourself."

And just like that the wolves charged towards us and us towards the wolves.

"We need to destroy his shawl." The cat boy said in between attacks.

"Okay." I said, trying to find an opening in the wolves defense so that I could get to Lupus.

I used my yo-yo to tangle two of the wolves together and I leapt over their bodies charging Lupus. The cat boy was behind me, having dealt with the other wolf and Lupus fought both of us off. We needed a way to get the upper hand.

The two wolves finally untangled themselves from the yo-yo and headed our way.

"Get them over the bridge!" The cat boy said when his own wolf returned and I nodded and did as he said, baiting the wolves towards the large bridge a short ways away. I finally lured them onto the bridge and when his own wolf came up behind me I was now trapped by all three wolves with nowhere to go except down into the dangerous river below, I really hoped he had a plan.

He jumped down onto the bridge next to me and shouted, "Cataclysm!" and then he slammed his hand down to the bottom of the bridge and just like that it disappeared out from under me. He grabbed my waist and pulled me off the bridge just in time before I fell into the rivers with the wolves.

Just as we were say from the wolves, Lupus came up from behind us, "Look what you did to my precious wolves!" he screamed, "I'll get you."

He charged us, attacking us with a long sword, it was time to end this, I threw my yo-yo into the air and shouted, "Lucky charm!"

Out materialized a long scarf.

"Feeling chilly?" asked the cat boy sarcastically as he dodged attacks.

"Not quite." I said, knowing what I had to do.

The next attack that came from Lupus, I wrapped the scarf around his wrist and force his hand down and then jumped over him forcing his arm behind his back and I looped the scarf around his body pining his arms to his side.

The cat boy ripped off the shawl from Lupus's shoulders and tore it in half.

Out from the ripped fabric came a small blackened butterfly. I gasped in surprise, it was an akuma.

I opened up my yo-yo , threw it out, and caught the butterfly.

"What are you doing?" the cat boy asked and I shrugged off his question, trying to remember what Master Fu had taught me about cleansing the Akuma's.

"Deevilize!" I shouted and I let the magic do it's work and when I opened up the yo-yo and released the butterfly it was white.

I smiled triumphantly proud that I had remembered how to do that.

"What was that?" the cat boy asked.

"I was cleansing the Akuma."

"What does that do?"

"Well,if you don't deevilize the akuma, it'll come back, now it can't."

The cat boy stopped me and put his hands on my shoulders, his green eyes piercing mine.

"Do you mean that?" he asked.

"Lupus, he won't come back."

I shook my head. "It's not likely, I mean if he happened to mad about the exact same thing and then the same person sent a different akuma after him then maybe, but there's no telling what-"

I was cut off suddenly when the cat boy wrapped me in a tight hug. I hugged him back awkwardly and he pulled away smiling widely.

"What?" I asked, a little uncomfortable with this showing of affection.

"You have got no idea how long he has been plaguing this city, the people he has hurt the things he's destroyed. You're amazing."

I blushed a deep red and looked away, "It was really nothing."

"No. There's a lot of things it was but it wasn't nothing. These people, they've been living in fear but now they don't have to anymore, because of you." He stepped back slightly, probably realizing how close he was to me and he cast a sad look at the bridge.

"It's a real shame about the bridge though, it'll probably take them months to rebuild it."

His comment reminded of something I forgot to do. I bent over and unwrapped the bright spotted scarf from a very confused man and I threw it in the air shouting, "Miraculous Ladybug!" and I watched as the healing magic stretched around the scene before me and fixed everything.

The Cat Boy watched the bridge repair itself magically and he watched as all the damage from the attack was fixed. He turned to me, looking at me with awe.

"There," I said, "Now it won't take them any time at all.

"How-" he started but was cut off by a sharp beeping that came from his ring. I inspected it closely and I knew what the beeping meant and my earring let out a similar chirping.

"Hmm. It seems as though you and I must be going." I turned to leave but he grabbed my wrist and I turned back to him.

"When can we meet again?" He asked and I considered the question slightly. I had a feeling that we needed to have a conversation.

"Tomorrow night, on the bridge." and with those words we both backed away from each other, we both had places to go.

"Wait." he said as I turned my back on him again, "What's your name."

I smiled, "You can call me Ladybug, and you?"

"Cat Noir." he said dramatically with a bow, and with that, I left using my yo-yo to take me through the dark city, my mind lingering on the masked rogue.

Cat Noir, the name suited him.
