A/N: Just wanted to say Happy Holiday's.

Fox Tails; Chapter 11: Kitsune

"Hello Paris!" Kitsune exclaimed greeting the public as all eyes turned to the new figure on the roof top. Guess their was no hiding now with the entrance she gave. "Good evening folks I'm your friendly fox here to ignite you all!" she greeted.

"Alright you stay here." turning around she placed Kitsi on the roof, letting her form rest against the ledge wall, "Take a good long rest." once 'Kitsi' was in a safe spot, Kitsune went into action.

"I'll meet you guys up there!" she called before taking a couple steps backwards she took a deep breathe before taking a run and jumping from the room. People looked above them in awe as she soared above them. Reaching behind her she unsheathed her flute giving it a quick twirl before landing on the side of the building. An impossible feat for a normal person. And using her her agility she managed to climb up and onto to the roof.

"You started the party without me." the heroine spoke with playful offense, "I'm hurt." the female gave a few stretches.

"Who is she?"

"Kitsune!?"

"Kitsune?"

"If you didn't catch that I'm Kitsune." she greeted, "This is supposed to be a party. But by the looks of things you all partied pretty hard. This place is a mess." half of which were her fault.

"Is she another akuma?" someone asked worried.

"Why is it whenever I save someone they automatically jump to an akuma? I'm too adorable to be an akuma." she pouted in playful offense, "Don't you think?" she gave a playful wink, "Sorry for just popping in. Seems someone forgot to give me an invite." with a spin of her staff she placed it back behind her. Bringing her hands up and cracked her knuckles before taking her stance.

"Cocky fox!" lifting her hand Le Gemme fired her charming beam at the heroine. With a flip Kitsune dodged the pins from Le Gemme, "Hold still little tramp!"

"Excuse you!" Kitsune gasped offended, "There are minors here." she scolded before jumping out of the way of the beam before skidding to other side of the roof.

"Nice moves little fox." she chuckled but continued to fire at Kitsune who continued to evade and dodge the attacks. As she stopped a flash of light caught her eyes and before she knew it the needle struck her!

"Got you!" she beamed wickedly, but it was short lived as beam went right through the heroine before she disappeared.

"An illusion?" but where was she? The akuma looked around trying to find the real heroine.

"Here I am!" with midair dropkick Kitsune sent Le Gemme flying backwards. Landing on the floor, her yellow eyes looking to where Le Gemme had landed, smacked against the wall.

When the charm creating akuma tried to stand she was met with the end of Kitsune's staff.

"How about you stay down." she advanced as she loomed over the villain who leered at the yellow eyed heroine, "Taking a page from Hawkmoth, hand over your akuma." she demanded.

"Don't think this is over!" she hissed regaining her stance she stood upwards while Kitsune who quickly dodge and made some distance. With a spin of her staff she prepared for battle, "I will not be defeated by the likes of you!" she charged toward Kitsune who met the akuma half way. Dodging her punch, Kitsune spun bringing her leg up to kick her. Stepping back Le Gemme charged at her again, sending out a series of punches and strikes that barely made contact with the other.

After a two hit combo, Kitsune caught both her hands, tightly gripping her wrist she gave a quick grin as Le Gemme paled. Kitsune gave the akuma a series of spins before tossing her into the section of pool chairs.

'That was for that stunt in the ballroom and her friends.' '

"I will not let you make a fool out of me!" she shrieked.

"Actually it might be a bit late for that." she jabbed, "But the night's still young. I still have time to make you look even more foolish."

Le Gemme gritted and attacked the hero. With a play of her flute Kitsune slammed it down creating a screen of smoke. The akuma continued through the smoke screen and hit Kitsune in the chest. However her smile fell as she saw the content look on the heroine.

"Nope" she disappeared.

"Try again." Kitsune chided in her ear, but as the akuma turned and struck her, again another illusion.

"Strike three." another clone declared.

"Are you even trying?" with another attack the figure disappeared in a poof of smoke with a mocking grin on their lips as they faded. Another illusion.

"Grrr! Where are you!?" she demanded, "Quit running and come out and face me!" Looking around she spotted Kitsune on the other side of the roof where Ladybug and Chat Noir we're still standing by.

"You little pest!" she hissed out angrily having been tricked.

Kitsune rolled her eyes, "You guys okay?" she asked the other two heroes.

"We're fine." Ladybug said, "Where have you been?"

"Secret Mission. I would have been here earlier, but I got held up." she explained, "Also had to save a civilian and traffic has been a mess. So what's with our akuma today?"

"She's a jewelry designer's trying to turn all of Paris into their servants using charms to control them." and she seemed to be winning, "We need to find away to break through her defenses."

"Well you've come to the right fox." she smirked, "Just give me a second to warm up!" after a few quick stretches Kitsune focused. With a deep breathe she ran towards Le Gemme who in turn took a defensive stance. Once she was close enough she latched out at the heroine only to find the other to move up. Jumping over her and off her back sending her scrambling forward. Looking back she spotted Kitsune landing on the flag pole, balancing on the metal tip.

Flames erupted from her pendant, licking on her hands before all the way up to her forearm and her feet all the way to her knees. Her hair and tail soon ignited as flames danced elegantly and wild. Blazing streaks wiping wildly through the air igniting it in hue of light. People below looked in awe at the sight at the newcomer now ablaze above.

"After Burn!" she called out activating her signature move that illuminated the top of the hotel like a beacon.

"She's on fire!"

"Seriously."

"This is so awesome!"

Le Gemma scoffed, "Nice trick little fox!" using her powers she summoned a giant gem orb. "But let's see if it's enough to make the cut!" picking it up she have a quick spin before throwing it toward the heroine.

As the solid orb was flung, nearing Kitsune with a quick turn, the fire twisting elegantly around her, with her After Burn she powered up her foot before bringing it up to collide with the hard orb. "Thanks for the present. But this fox is no fan of flash!" putting her strength in the final push she sent it upwards with a powerful upper kick the pressure shattering it into dozens of pieces that glittered in the night sky.

"This is so cool! This is so cool!" Alya was officially going into overdrive as she filmed the heroes in action. Others looked in gasped awe at the power being displayed by the heroine.

"Lucky Charm!" activating her special move she threw her yo-yo up and in a swarm of pink energy an item materialize before falling into her hands.

"A can of spray paint?" looking around she tried to find the connection. The can of spray paint flashed along with Kitsune and finally Le Gemme's spectacles.

"Of course." because in design you had to have not only good hands, but a keen sight, "Kitsune I think it's time you show Le Gemme some of our teamwork."

"Aye, Aye, captain!" Kitsune understood as she maneuvered back to her comrades, "Now for my next trick." unsheathing her flute she brought to her lips, "I'll cover you guys go for the akuma." she began playing a tune on the staff activating its powers, with a quick spin she charged forward toward Le Gemme.

"Enough of these little tricks!" surging forward Kitsune began clearing a path as she burned and incinerated the gemstones that we're launched at them creating a cover fire.

"Let's go Chat!"

"Right behind you LB!"

The two heroes followed behind Kitsune. As they got close she slammed the end of her staff down on the ground. In a burst of orange smoke clouded the rooftop before a series of Kitsune's, Ladybug's and Chat Noir's erupted out and surged forward. A literal army of heroes.

Le Gemme fired a rapid number of pin's trying to pin down the three heroes. But each attack would go right through the illusions wiping them away. It was a literal frenzy. As they close in she created a large gem as a barrier to keep them out.

"Chat Noir!"

"On it." bringing his hand up he called, "Cataclysm!" thrusting his palm into the barrier, darkness spreading through the barrier before shattering it causing a backlash toward Le Gemme who used her arms to block.

"Got you!" Ladybug called as she appeared over Le Gemme.

"I won't be fooled by another illusion!" taking her hand she striked out toward Ladybug but was met with only smoke. It was another illusion. Expecting another clone to appear she was shock when a hand, a solid hand grabbed onto her wrist.

"Hello." with a smirk she brought can of spray paint and released it all over Le Gemme's spectacles in red paint.

"Red really does shows off her eyes, no?" Chat chided seeing the plan work.

"I can't see!" she yelled as she tried in vain to wipe the paint away from her eyes. Without her vision she couldn't aim.

"My what a beautiful bracelet you have. I'll just borrow this for a moment." she grinned taking hold to the bracelet she quickly tore it from the akuma's wrist, "Coming at you Kitty!" she tossed it back to Chat Noir.

"Thanks Fox." he smiled as he caught the bracelet before crushing it. Opening his hand he released the akuma, "It's all you Ladybug!"

With her yo-yo Ladybug captured the akuma and began the process to purify it, "No more evil for you little akuma." with a flick she opened her yo-yo and released the now purified akuma's.

"Miraculous Ladybug!" throwing up her lucking charm a surge of pink and Ladybugs filled the room to restore it back to normal, before they escaped into the sky, returning Paris to its peaceful beauty as it removed the damage from around the hotel and releasing the citizens from the power of the charms.

As they looked around Ladybug happened to catch a stream of ladybugs spiral around Kitsune before quickly leaving and going over Le Gemme and returning Citrine back to normal.

"What happened?" Citrine questioned rubbing her head wondering how she got on top of a roof.

"Pound it!" the three heroes congratulated on another victory.

Hawkmoth gave out a frustrated growl having again lost a champion causing the butterflies to stir, "I was so close to having them surrender!" he frowned, "And now another hero has come to defy me." Kitsune owner of the fox miraculous has finally stepped out of the shadows and then there was that girl.

"Celebrate this victory while you can for soon I will shatter any hope you have." with that the window closed shut.

"Well looks like everything is back to normal." Kitsune gave a relieved sigh. Looking around she noticed something shiny on floor. Walking a little closer it was the broken bracelet, now akuma free, that belonged Citrine. Looking over she quickly walked over to Citrine who was still a bit dazed after being de-akumatized.

"Citrine?" the female looked up seeing the masked female in orange. Carefully Kitsune squated down to meet their eye level, "Is this yours?" holding out her hand she opened it and revealed the bracelet. Or at least the remains.

"My bracelet!" Citrine exclaimed shocked, before giving a relieved sigh having the bracelet back. Soon the process began to explain what had happened to the designer, carefully revealing how she had been controlled by Hawkmoth.

"Citrine!" a voice called. Eyes turned toward the door to the roof where a familiar face had appeared.

"Crystal?" it was Citrine's twin sister. Where had she been in all this? Perhaps she had already been dealt with by her sister and had now been freed once the akuma was caught. The designer walked onto the roof and for a moment she looked like she would speak, but seeing her sister she halted. Citrine not even looking at her.

Doubt in Crystal's face. Kitsune could sense it, the want to run.

As it looked like Crystal would walk away she felt a tap on her shoulder.

It was Kitsune with a folder that she showed to Crystal. With a small smile she handed Crystal the folder before she gave her a quick turn back towards her sisters and pushed her forward toward her sister.

Crystal looked at the folder and then her sister. After the third time she opened the folder and then seemed to understand. Bowing her head for a moment she took a quick breath before walking over toward her sister.

"Citrine." she spoke waiting until she had her sister's attention.

"Crystal?"

"I uh..." she began, "I was looking at your designs and..." she paused, "I...I'm sorry. You spend so much time on your designs. I shouldn't have tried to make you change them without your consent. I'm sorry sis." she frowned with a look of shame. Reaching into her pocket she pulled out a long piece of metal, which turned out to be the other half of the charm bracelet that got damaged during their argument, "You have such great talent. I shouldn't take it for granted. I understand if you still want to quit and.."without any words Crystal found her sister's arms around her in a hug. Crystal blushed a bit in surprise, but happily returned the hug. Relieved to have her sister back.

"And now my work is done." she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thanks Kitsune." Ladybug placed a hand on her comrades shoulder.

"Great timing. You really gave them a new purr-spective on their relationship." Chat Noir added.

"Oh you're making me blush." she chuckled with a playful smile, "How igniting."

"Whoa!" Alya looked shocked as she ran up in front of Kitsune, " It's you!" she quickly pulled out her phone and began filming Kitsune. She nearly forgot that Alya ran the Ladyblog and enjoyed a good scoop. Though she was surprised how fast she had gotten up to the top of the hotel so quickly.

"This is so amazing! Another superhero in Paris!" she couldn't contain her excitement as she continued to snap photo's of the fox heroine. She and the other students looked in amazement and awe at Kitsune who they watch defeat an akuma with Ladybug and Chat Noir.

Ladybug looked a bit embarrassed, while Chat seemed amused, but Kitsune gave a light chuckle into her hand.

"I've never meet someone so excited, well that's not true. But it's rather flattering." she commented to herself.

"It's her passion. She's always looking for new things to post to her blog. You could say she's Ladybug's number one fan." Ladybug added with a light smile.

"She's also the creator of the Ladyblog. She's always updating it."Chat explained.

"And this will be my next key feature. 'The First Exclusive with Paris new heroine; Kitsune!'" she spelled out the title in air, "Think I can get a few words for the blog?"

"Now don't be so pushy?" Ladybug said seeing so many people, even students, getting close to Kitsune's space.

"It's fine, let's see..." she began to think of what to say, "I'm a bit new at this, interviews and being a hero in general. But know I'll do my best for the people of Paris and and looking forward to working with Ladybug and Chat Noir."

"Awesome! I got the first exclusive with Paris' new hero! I can't wait to post this." Alya beamed happily.

"Thanks for taking time for an interview." even if it was a quick one.

"I'm happy to help." she smiled, "Plus I really enjoy the Ladyblog! You've done a great job with it." though she wished she would check her sources before she posted something.

Alya squealed, "You do! This is so great! I'm am going to post this now!"

"So you're the mysterious orange blur people have been siting."

"Yep. Sorry to keep you in the dark, but this fox does have a tendency to study her surroundings before she walks out. Plus I had a bit of an extra push from some good friends." she explained, "So tell me was I worth the wait?" again the room was filled with sounds of cheers, questions, and excitement as everyone thanked and officially greeted the new heroine.

'Beep, beep' her pendant began to flash orange.

"Looks like it's time for me to split." she noted, "This fox has got to make tracks. Until next time." with jump she went rebounding off the side of the hotel. "Fox out!" she gave a two finger salute with a playful wink before she disappeared in a puff of orange smoke. But even though she left the sounds of the people could still be heard cheering for the new heroine.

"Kitsune! Kitsune! Kitsune!" echoed throughout the crowd both inside and outside of the hotel.

"Wow that was, amazing!"

"She's so cool."

"And she showed up at my party." Chloe seemed to boast having the new heroine reveal herself.

"Come on Chat we have one more thing to do." Ladybug motioned toward the roof.

"Right behind you." Chat understood.

With a groan Kitsi sat up on the roof. She rubbed the back of her neck and part of her head.

"Ah I'm going to feel that in the morning." she pushed on her back in dramatics before giving a relieved sigh, "That was close." with a yelp a flash of red and black landed in front of her, nearly sent her falling back onto the roof.

"Ladybug? Chat Noir?" she looked the two heroes, "Seriously you two are going to give me a heart attack. Itsumo watashi ni shinobiyorimasu!" she playfully fumed having survived being tossed off a roof. Without any words Kitsi suddenly found herself brought into a hug by both heroes. Kitsi froze trying to process what was happening.

"Um...not that I find this weird or anything." she began, "But what's happening?"

"We're just relieved you're safe." Ladybug said before she and her partner helped Kitsi up.

"Yeah I'm fine! Your Miraculous Cure really does the trick." she nodded, "And I take it by the cheers and the fact I'm not being pulled from the pavement you defeated Le Gemme. Congratulations!" she cheered for their victory.

"How can you be so calm?" Ladybug questioned.

"Lest we forget I was thrown clear over Paris, falling off a roof doesn't really seem that scary when you think about it." she explained. Plus it was nothing compared to what Andrew and her parents were going to do to her when they found out. After the last couple of incidents with akuma's her parents were considering getting her home schooled. But after reassurance and some begging, that everything would be okay they slowly relented to the idea. Plus with Ladybug and Chat Noir around she was technically safe. And she had Whissp.

'Something else I gotta worry about.' she groaned inwardly.

"After what you went through anyone would be worried." Ladybug spoke, "Why did you let yourself get tossed off a roof?"

"Oh that. Not exactly part of my plan. I've got a thing about being used. Especially if I have no say in it." she stated, "But, we're you really going to give up your miraculous?" for her.

"Of course." Ladybug replied, "You were in trouble and be dangled over a building. We won't risk a civilian's life." even for their miraculous.

Kitsi gave a weird smile, "You two are...unbelievable." she mumbled trying to suppress an unexplainable giggle that trying to come up, "Sorry if I'm being strange, it's a lot to take in and I'm processing." she apologized as she composed herself, "But seriously thanks for worrying about me."

"It's no problem. Just try not to get yourself captured."

"Or let yourself be tossed off a building."

'No promises.'

"Right, right. My bad it was the spur of the moment. I just...didn't want Hawkmoth to win." she added, "Also I have to apologize to you both."

"Why are you apologizing?"

"Well I know I haven't been very 'Kitsi' like this past week. Being superheroes it must be hard deciding who you can and can't trust." her voice wavered for a moment, "After the incident at school and everything going on this week. I was so hurt and embarrassed that I...almost became like her." more than once, "And I know you two were trying to help me. I sorta understand where you're coming from. When you think your losing someone important to you sometimes you let your emotions speak louder than reason." she offered a fond smile, "That's why I decided to fight, but because I wanted to protect my friends. Same reason I was going to let myself fall of the roof of a five story hotel." she explained because underneath the magic and the mask they were human. Just like she was, "Sorry if it's not the type of answer that explains my reasons, but no matter what I'll always be there when I can." especially for the ones she cared about.

She turned to the heroes, reaching into her pocket she brought something out and held it out in her hand. There was a silence before Kitsi opened her hands and showed what was inside.

"New charms?"

"Some new and improved charms."Kitsi corrected, "I've been working on making them more durable. I wanted to surprise you guys at the party, but as you know..." she handed the heroine and hero the charms, "There's one for both of you. Think of it as a 'Peace Offering'"

"Claw-some!" Chat Noir smiled seeing the new Ladybug and Chat Noir charms.

"Thank you Kitsi." that earned a small blush for the young girl.

"Speaking of 'pieces' there is still a contest to finish." especially since the akuma attacked before a winner could be announced.

"Right." she nodded. After being picked up and dropped off back at the hotel via Chat Noir it was time to finish the contest. All the guest, judges, and attendees had returned to the newly fixed ballroom. However because of the akuma battle and using their special moves, Ladybug and Chat Noir were forced to retire, but not before leaving their choice for the winner with the mayor who now stood before the crowd with the finalist right with him. The four finalist; Marinette, Adrien, Kitsi, and Lila stood with their designs waiting until the results to be read.

"Good luck." Marinette had whispered to Kitsi who gave a small smile to her friend and nodded, "You two your projects came out great." from Marinette's ring, Adrien's hairclips, and even Lila's...Kitsi paused looking at Lila's entry.

'Hold on...' she blinked noticing the design and her eyes went wide, 'That little thief!' she was about to throttle that girl, but held herself back.

'Kitsi no don't, remember your own advice.' she told herself, 'Wait to after the contest where there's less people and camera's.'

"Alright the time has finally come to announce the winner of the Young Jewelry Designer's Competition!" the room was filled with claps and cheers, "We would also like to thank our special guests Madame Luire and her lovely daughters Crystal and Citrine judging." another round of applause was given for the visiting designers.

"And a great thanks to Paris's own Ladybug and Chat Noir!" he announced proudly, "And our newest resident Kitsune for their bravery of saving this fair city." another round of excitement pulsed through the room.

"And what you've all been waiting for...The winner of the Young Jewelry Designer Competition is..." there was a long pause as people leaned in to hear the results, the contestants held there breath in anticipation.

'If Adrien wins shake his hand.' Kits nodded, 'If Marinette wins hug her.' she beamed, 'If Lila wins...punch her in the face.' a dark aura ticked at that option.

"By unanimous vote...Kitsi Inari!" as the name was announced the room broke out in cheers and claps.

"I...won?" Kitsi blinked in mild surprise.

"Kitsi you did it!" Marinette smiled.

"Congratulations." Adrien offered his congrats.

'...Congratulations."

"Arigato." she thanked her two friends, passing a short glance to Lila who for all attempts was trying to seem calm and unbothered by the verdict.

Kitsi smiled at her friends before walking up to the front of the stage. There she was met with the applause and cheers of her classmates and faculty from the school. After a few minutes she accepted the trophy from Madame Luire who offered her congrats as cameras flashed from photographers as she was congratulated by Mayor Bourgeois .

"That was too close." she exhaled, "Well my plan worked." in a sense.

"I'll say. By the way tell a kwami when you're about to let yourself be dropped off a building." Whissp scolded her.

"Oh come on Whissp I wasn't going to get hurt, possibly." she didn't exactly know how much damage a miraculous user could take, "Plus I had it under control. I used my illusions to make a fake Kitsune and disguised my hero self as my civilian self. While I was fighting Le Gemme I wore her out until Ladybug and Chat Noir came. Then if I needed 'assistance' there was a fake Kitsune ready to step in." it was a semi-perfect plan, "Though being dropped from a hotel was not in the plan."

"Well I'm exhausted. When we get back I want a whole bowl of peppers." Whissp exhaled slumping in her pocket.

"You've earned it." she agreed knowing Whissp had used a lot of energy to complete her plan. Now all she had to worry about was getting back home. As she made her way down the street a sudden flash of red and black halted her steps.

"Again!" she exclaimed for the second time tonight, "I'm starting to believe you two want to give me a heart attack." she joked.

"Sorry." Ladybug apologized, "We had hoped to find you at the hotel. We wanted to congratulate you."

"Yeah heard you won the contest." Chat smirked.

"Yeah I still can't believe it." she chuckled, "Arigato. Thank you guys for believing in me."

"Well the judges agreed that you deserved the prize for your bravery." Chat said, "Especially with those fur-rocious moves you showed."

"Plus Madame Luire, Crystal, and Citrine all really liked your design." they referred to the ones in her sketchbook and the ones Madame Luire happened to notice of the two heroes.

"Everyone agreed you earned first place. Congratulations!"

"Arigato." Kitsi smiled, "Now, I'm really tired. Miraculous cure or not, I need a hot bath and a bed. Plus I need to get home and show Andrew,my uncle, this cool trophy." being dropped from a hotel and fighting a akuma and nearly falling to your death took a lot out of a person. Plus she needed to get home before this night turned out like that time in Shibuya. She grimaced at that.

"Did you want us to drop you off home?" Ladybug offered.

"Nah, I'll call a ride." she declined, "Plus judging by that beeping you both only have mere minutes before you change back." she pointed at their blinking miraculous signaling they were about to transform back. They must have asked their kawami's for extra time. She could related. Especially since she would need Whissp for an emergency transformation in order to get home.

'Cheep, Cheep!'

"What's that beeping?"

"Don't you mean cheeping?" Chat chidded. Looking around it was coming from Kitsi's watch.

"Sorry that's me. Just give me a second..." with a press of the button she activated the notification.

'It is now 12:00 midnight!' the voice sang as a little character appeared on the circular screen, 'Here's to another spirited year and wishing you one last Happy Birthday~!' the happy music slowly faded away as the screen returned to normal.

Of all the times, 'Why Tori-Tori?' she wept innerly. She forgot about your watch and the birthday event that goes off every year on her birthday. It had been silent until now. Looking up she noticed the look both heroes were giving her and gave a short chuckle.

"Well would you look at that it's midnight, I should really get home it is way past my curfew...hehehe" she gave a nervous laugh as she tried to shuffle away.

"Wait, Kitsi was today..."

"Beep, beep, beep!"

"You two only have minutes left. Talk later. Thank you for the award. Good Luck, night, bye!" with one final wave Kitsi sprinted off down the street after literally being saved by the bell.

At the Dupain-Cheng Residence...

"What's wrong Marinette?" Tikki asked.

"Oh Tikki. I've made a huge mess." Marinette frowned.

"You mean about Kitsi?" she offered.

"It's bad enough I nearly ruined her school life and made her hate Ladybug. Kitsi was put at risk because of me." her voice wavered, "But to top it off, today was her birthday. Her birthday Tikki!" she exclaimed in horror. She didn't even know it was her birthday. She got so wrapped up in the assignment and..."The assignment!"

"Huh?"

"I forgot I was supposed to be meeting Kitsi at the library to study and hang out." with the incident at the hotel and with Kitsi, she had completely forgotten to patch things up with her for leaving her waiting at the library.

"Oh Marinette..." she sighed, "It's okay Marinette. Plus after seeing how Kitsi stood up to the akuma to save her friends I'm sure no one is even thinking of that incident. Plus now everything is patched up between you guys!" she reassured.

"It's still not right Tikki." she frowned, "It seems like I'm only causing trouble for her. First as Ladybug and now as Marinette." again she buried herself in her pillow.

"It will be okay Marinette." Tikki said trying to comfort her partner, "I'm sure it will all be fine. A piece of cake!"

Blue eyes widened, "Cake!" Tikki yelped at the sudden exclamation, "I forgot about Kitsi's cake!"

"Oh Marinette..."

At the Agreste Manor...

"What's with you kid?" Plagg questioned his sulking partner, "You just came back from an awesome party!" he exclaimed.

"Not now Plagg I have a lot of things on my mind." Adrien replied as he finished putting his pajamas on.

"Is this about that girl?"

"If you're referring to Kitsi than yes." he corrected, "I really messed up Plagg." he groaned sitting on his bed, "Because of my mistakes I nearly ruined Kitsi's social life and made her hate Ladybug and Chat Noir."

"Aren't you being over dramatic?" Plagg noted, "Though I'm rather interested since you have another girl on your mind besides Ladybug or your Princess." he teased.

"Plagg Kitsi was dropped off a hotel. She could have been seriously injured." he added seriously. Plus before that she took a really bad beating from Le Gemme.

"But she wasn't." Plagg replied as he munched on his cheese, "Plus she won that contest. All and all I say this wrapped up nicely."

"Because Kitsune showed up and saved her." he retorted, "If she wasn't there..." he didn't want to think about what could have happened, "Worse she had to do all this on her birthday." he frowned falling back, "What am I going to do Plagg?"

"Well I don't know about you, but I'm beat. I'm going to bed." Plagg yawned.

"Thanks Plagg." Adrien rolled his eyes at his unhelpful partner, "Hopefully things will be clearer in the morning."

Back at Kitsi's House...

After returning home under the disguise of Kitsune, she carefully transformed back into her civilian form. After begging Whissp for one more transformation her partner reluctantly gave in and let her transform so she could get home. Checking her clock it was ten minutes past midnight. After closing the window Kitsi gave a sigh happy to be home. Walking over toward the bed she collapsed on her large mattress among her mountain of pillows, before giving an exhausted sigh.

"Finally...I've never been so happy to be in my bed." with a sigh a orange light dispelled her powers and returned her to her civilian self. Whissp looked up at his partner who had drifted off to sleep. Her jewelry box and the trophy nestled a small ways on the bed.

"Night Kit. Get a good long rest." the small kwami yawned before flying up and over towards his sleeping area on Kitsi's bedside nightstand inside one of her jewelry boxes.

To Be Continued...

A/N: A short chapter. Also next chapter we will learn a bit more about Kitsi's family, Kitsi's brother finally comes, ticket's to concerts, and a video that will expose a character's secret! Happy Holidays and remember to review. Later's.
