I stared at Cat Blanc. He had changed after Plagg had pressed his paws against Cat's. His blonde locks were now black as midnight and his impossibly green eyes were ruby red while his smile was full of jagged teeth.

I screamed and covered my face, while curling into a ball as his cataclysm came towards me. I jerked still when he hiss softly. I peered through my fingers in time to see his legs swing over me.

I tilted my head back as he turned around and glared at the person most likely standing at my feet. I quickly rolled to my side before springing to my feet, grasping my yo-yo only to feel empty air. Alarm raced through me as I glanced around the building top, another hiss resonated through the air.

I snapped my head up and stared at the figure before me. "Hello Plagg." The white cat cooed as I stared at the black cat before me who growled in response to Cat Blanc. I slightly tilted my head as I studied him. The only thought going through my mind at the moment was: Why does he look like Adrien?

I shook my head free of the distraction. I dove for my yo-yo at the White Cat's feet once he had stepped over it. I heard a hiss and felt someone's gaze on me briefly before I felt somebody leap over me. I glared at a pair of white legs making their way towards me. I shot my hand out and grasped his left ankle. A startled yelp escaped him as he collapsed on top of me. I curled my legs against my body last second, avoiding the feel of his weight.

I gasped when I felt someone grab my wrist and drag me to my feet before picking me up bridal style. I blinked as Cat Blanc released a string of colorful words as Plagg's familiar voice purred in my ear. "Don't look down." I did so any way, feeling a growl rumble in his chest. "How does Cat deal with you?" He whined before he landed on a building. I yelped when he dropped me.

I glared at him as he folded his arms and returned my glare. He snorted and looked around, his tail swishing beside his legs. "How were we flying? Why do you look like Adrien? How did you turn from a little cat figure into a humanoid?" I asked as he flinched at my 'Adrien' question. I narrowed my eyes. I sat up and folded my legs. He somehow knew about Adrien, who had gone missing when Cat Noir was Akumatized. "Do you know where Adrien is?" Plagg glowered at me as his mouth twisted into a disproving frown, narrowing his dark electric green eyes; they almost looked like the same color as Adrien's.

"Do you want me to answer your questions or not?" He snapped as I opened my mouth to respond. "If you do then shut up," he hissed, never giving me the chance to respond. I closed my mouth and stared at him with a scowl. I couldn't help but feel that he's going to be more difficult to deal with than my Kitty.

"Then answer them instead of glaring at me." I huffed and folded my arms as he rolled his eyes.

"How I can fly: easy, I am a Kwami. I can fly and levitate like I did when I was the little cat." Plagg flashed me a grin as he let himself fall on his back. I flinched but was surprised when he never hit the roof. He crossed his legs and placed his hands behind his head, the tip of his tail twitched as he watched ash float across his face. "As for looking like Adrien," he hesitated, searching for an answer. "He was on your mind so I took his form," he said rather quickly. I narrowed my eyes. I wasn't thinking about Adrien until after Plagg took his form.

"No. You did not. I wasn't thinking about him until after." I snapped as Plagg flashed me an irritated look.

"If you want a straight answer from me about my appearance," he sat up then leaned forward with a grin, his face close enough to mine. I scowled as I leaned away from him. There was no way I was going to kiss him to get the info I wanted. "Then, find me two large rolls of camembert cheese and I'll think about it." I blinked at him, dumbfounded by his request as he burst out laughing. I knew he was mischievous. I have heard more than one muttered complaint about him from Cat Noir.

"You want cheese? At a time like this!?" I waved my hand at a nearby collapsing building, causing Plagg to frown at it before he shrugged dismissively.

"Why not? Cheese is the only thing that keeps me going. If it's not cheese then it's not important," he yawned as I grabbed my yo-yo and flung it at him. "Hey!" He exclaimed when it smacked his nose. "I like being able to smell my cheese thank you." Plagg scowled as he snorted and picked me up again. "As for how I turned human," he said softly before leaping off the building.

I gasped as I wrapped my arms around him. Oh, I didn't mind the height; I only enjoyed 'flying' when I was using my yo-yo. He gave an exasperated sigh at my reaction. "I am not sure, this is the first time that anything similar has happened, including my human form. To be honest, I wasn't expecting to turn into a human."

I frowned at his words. So, something like this has happened before? Is he even telling me the truth? "As in ever?" He growled softly before dropping me again once we had reached the Notre Dame. Tikki and Plagg had done something to it to prevent Cat Blanc from finding it. Plagg stood at the edge of the building, his hands hanging by his sides.

"All I know is that I need to remain this way until you capture Cat Noir's ring and free him from the butterfly." Plagg whispered as his tail swayed. He sounded sad and even almost lost. He finally turned and gave me the evil eye after a few moments of silence. "And you better be quick about it, I don't like this form at all." I frowned at him as he snorted and turned away muttering under his breath about how useless humans can be.

"Do you know Adrien?" I asked, changing the subject. He slightly flinched before glaring at me over his shoulder.

"Can we cut the chit-chat? I want to sleep now." Plagg gave a dramatic yawn as he stretched his arms over his head before dropping to the ground of where he stood, curling into a tight ball.

I sighed, he was avoiding my question. I growled softly as I grabbed Plagg's arm and turned him so he was forced to look at me. He frowned as he propped himself on his left elbow, yanking his right arm free from my grasp. "Do you have cheese? I won't talk unless you have cheese." Plagg sniffed as he dropped to the ground and closed his eyes, locking his hands behind his head.

"Honestly Plagg?" I groaned before shaking my head. "I haven't seen Adrien in school. I haven't seen him after Cat Blanc crumbled the school about two weeks ago. His home has crumbled. He isn't even in the hospital! I don't even know where he is!" I exclaimed with an angered cry as Plagg flinched and opened one eye with a frown. Adrien had turned up for school one day after the akumazition of Cat Noir, he never went to class but watched me to go to mine. He seemed very cold and even off. Even the smile he gave me had my skin crawling. He didn't stay long after that. He left immediately after seeing me but no one saw where he went. Now that I think about it, his eyes were impossibly green.

"Yeah, so what?" Plagg closed his eye as I clenched my left hand into a fist. Is this what Cat has to deal with whenever he wants something from Plagg; poor him. I shook my head. "If you don't help me Plagg, I swear I'll make sure you never taste cheese again!" I roared. Plagg froze and opened his eyes, watching me warily.

"Fine Marinette," he spat as he sat up. "I will tell you what I know about Adrien." I smirked as a Cheshire grin flashed across his face. "But you are not going to like it. As a matter of fact, you'll blame yourself for his actions." Dread filled my gut at his words. Adrien didn't commit suicide, did he? "Are you sure you want to know?" He teased as he leaned against a pillar behind him, watching me smugly. I hesitated before folding my arms.

"I think I can handle what you're going to tell me." Plagg raised a black eyebrow with a tight frown.

"Alright. Just don't start crying when you find out," he sighed as he bowed and waved his hand out towards the city, Cat Blanc at his fingertips. Cat's ears twitched before he turned and stared at the building we were hiding in; he stared long and hard before turning around and disappearing behind a falling building. I stared at Plagg with a frown while I raised an eyebrow of my own. "There's your Adrien. He is now gallivanting as Cat Blanc."

"Is this a joke?" I snarled as he straightened himself and glared at me down his nose before rolling his eyes and letting himself drop to the floor.

"I told you what you wanted to know about Adrien." Plagg sighed dramatically before waving me off. "Now let me sleep unless you have some camembert cheese," he flashed me a grin as I rolled my eyes. If Plagg was this hard to deal with, then I'm likely not gonna get a straight answer out of him. I froze upon feeling eyes burning into my back. I turned around and stared at the buildings glistening with the morning dew as the sun slowly rose.

I had turned around just as a black figure darted away. I blinked and returned my attention to the building in front. I could've sworn the female was in a black suit much like Cat Noir's. I shook my head as a large yawn escaped me.

I had stayed up all the nights of the past month and a half, including this night, following Cat and trying to lure him into my traps. All of them, of course, failed.
