The story of Ladybug and Chat Noir is almost as well known as the story of the sailor senshi, now what would happen if Marinette Dupain-Cheng was not the one to receive the Ladybug Earrings. What if Freya, Norse Goddess of Love, and Loki, Norse God of Mischief, Magic, Fire, and basically lawyers were to intervene on behalf of someone Loki viewed as a little sister, and her truest, fiercest protector, giving them a chance to actually openly be in a relationship.
Chapter 1
Tsukino Usagi curses to herself, why was it that she was always the one that ended up getting lost on family trips? She wanders around, thankful that she could read, and speak French, saving an old man from getting run over by a reckless driver, " Thank you, young miss. "
" Ah, it's no problem, sir. "
As she races off the guardian of the Miraculous' smiles, yes, Usagi Tsukino would do nicely as Ladybug. Usagi would only notice the black and gold chinese puzzle box when she gets back to her hotel, having finally been able to hail a taxi. She shrugs, and opens the box, " Hello, Usagi, I'm Tikki, the Kwami of the Ladybug Earrings. "
Recognition flashes in sapphire eyes, one that is quickly suppressed, Usagi had remembered about being the Moon Princess years ago, and about her hidden protector, the holder of the Cat Miraculous, Chat Noir. What was even less known was the fact that Chat Noir had been her lover as well. There was no way in hell she was going to marry Prince Endymion, she'd castrate him first. Usagi willingly accepts the responsibility of being Ladybug, as Tikki gave her full disclosure. The ripples of the Moon Princess becoming the holder of the Ladybug Earrings would be felt for years, though for now she had a victim of the Moth Miraculous' Holder to go deal with. " Tikki, Spots On! "
In a different part of Paris, Adrien Agreste has already accepted being Chat Noir, and is just idly walking around on roof tops mind you, when Ladybug nearly crashes into him. She manages to right herself in time, " That is far harder than it looks. "
" You must be my partner, Ladybug. "
" I am, dear kitty cat. " Ladybug says, internally laughing when he blushes. Well, it seemed her cat was much more sheltered this time.
" You can call me Chat Noir. "
" Well, I believe we have a victim of the Moth Miraculous' power to go deal with, right, kitty cat? "
Chat Noir barely fights down the blush this time, " We do, my Lady. "
With that the pair were off, and heading towards the school that Adrien Agreste really wanted to attend. Chat keeps Stoneheart busy while Ladybug makes sure everyone can evacuate. Unfortunately for her she tripped over a soccer ball before she could purify the akuma, and she had already used her Miraculous Ladybug power. Ladybug swears under her breath, " Once you use your power you only have five minutes before you turn back. "
Chat's eyes widen, " Right, so why…"
" We have to hunt down that black moth, Chat, before the victim re-evilizes. " Ladybug says, and races off.
Chat immediately heads out himself, and gets some Camembert for Plagg to recharge before he transforms again, rejoining Ladybug, " So, how the hell do we find one black moth before it causes more problems? " Chat asks.
" Divide and conquer. "
Chat nods, thankful that Plagg had explained how they could keep in contact with one another with their weapons. It was a little disconcerting that only Ladybug could purify the akuma, but he could at least find the damn thing. He finds it just as it multiplies which he calls Ladybug to tell her. He does take notes on her swearing rant though, apparently she could get quite creative when given proper motivation. When she joins him in person the female holder groans, " The damn things just have to have the ability to multiply, as if turning people into villains wasn't bad enough. "
Chat could only nod in agreement, " What do we do now? "
Ladybug frowns, " Sadly we won't know which one is the Kami forsaken original black moth, which means…"
" We have to wait for the poor guy to re-evilize. " Chat says in horror.
" You got it, kitty cat. Our best bet for finding out would be the news. "
Chat nods, " Until next time, my Lady. "
Once back in her hotel room Usagi snarls an impressive amount of swears under her breath, before she calls her grandmother, the demon hunting one, and tells her everything. Umika could be heard sighing, " All right, magomusume, I'll arrange things for you to stay in Paris. Who knows, you might do better away from Japan, academically anyhow. " Umika says.
" Public school with no uniforms, please, and I can read, and write the language as well. " Usagi admits, she also had the news on, she couldn't afford to get caught flat footed at the moment.
" Understood, Usagi, I'll arrange to have you stay with one of the few French demon hunters we have. I'll deal with my idiot musuko, don't you worry about that. " Umika says, and hangs up with her granddaughter. Usagi makes sure Tikki is fully recharged, and starts to go through her katas. She knew her grandmother would come through for her. She does take the time to cut her hair, placing the excess in a bag so it could be made into wigs, snapping her fingers to keep her fingers to keep her hair from growing quite so fast. She curses when she hears the news, and races for the stairs, Tikki following her, once on the roof, and out of sight her sapphire eyes harden.
" Tikki, Spots On! "
Adrien Agreste curses internally when he hears the explosions from in front of his home. He slips out of sight of his bodyguard, and his dad's Personal Assistant, before steeling himself, and holding his right hand up, clenched into a fist, " Plagg, Claws Out! "
He runs his right hand across his eyes, his mask forming, even as the rest of the transformation happens quickly. Thankfully he remembered that Stoneheart only got bigger whenever attacked physically. Ladybug's grappling line gets hit, and the girl slams hard into the pavement just as Chat Noir arrives. His golden eyes widen as he sees the danger to her, reacting immediately, he somersaults forward, scoops her up into a princess carry, and leaps up into the air just in time, " My Lady, are you alright. "
" Yeah, just winded. Thanks, Orokana neko(Silly cat). " Ladybug says.
Chat Noir sighs, " Did you really just call me a silly cat? "
Ladybug grins as he sets her on her feet, " Why yes, I did. Does this mean I can give you battle plans in my native tongue, and you'll understand them? "
" Just started on Japanese actually, I am fluent in Mandarin though. "
Ladybug sighs, " Learn quickly, now, we need to handle this cluster fuck of a situation. "
Chat Noir can only agree that this situation was indeed a cluster fuck. They leap away in different directions to avoid the next thrown vehicle that comes their way. Chat groans when he sees a blonde haired girl in Stoneheart's fist, of course, even he knew Chloe had a tendency to act like a spoiled rotten bitch. She didn't care whom she crushed under her heel as along as she got her way. Sadly, she was the only one he'd been allowed to interact with while growing up thanks to his father. If he could, he'd ditch her in a heartbeat. Still, they had to save the brat, do the right thing, and all that.
Ladybug pulls a civilian out of the way with her Yoyo, and her eyes widen as a power pole with a Kami be damned transformer on it is thrown her way. She barely has time to leap up, and cross her arms in front of her face. She curses when she slams into the building behind her from the force of the explosion, though she pushes herself out of the impact crater, and back into battle. Chat visually checks her over, concern in his golden eyes. Ladybug gives him a slight nod, she was all right, just slightly bruised. " We need to get him to open up his damn fist without making him any Susanoo be damned bigger. "
" Why Susanoo? " Chat asks.
" Well, I generally swear by Susanoo, Loki, or Eris. Amaterasu if I'm really pissed off, Orokana neko. "
" My Lady, you wound me. " Chat quips back, as they dodge projectiles, rescue civilians, and trade quips back and forth. Adrien had never had so much fun before in his life. As Chat Noir he could actually act like a teenager.
It was Ladybug that saw the danger to her partner, and she reacts accordingly, shoving him out of the way, already twirling her Yoyo like Lucky Charm, only to get slammed between the vehicle thrown at the unsuspecting Chat, and a building. Chat doesn't waste anytime using his Cataclysm to free her. Ladybug groans, " I really hate my luck, only I would end up getting slammed between a pick up, and a building. Looks like Stoneheart is heading for the Eiffel Tower, go recharge, then we'll see about dealing with Stoney. "
Chat nods, " Try to stay out of trouble, My Lady. "
To his surprise she snorts, " My day job is similar to this, I'm a demon huntress. I don't look for trouble, trouble finds me, mugs me, and causes me to klutz out at the absolute worst possible times. I wear two layers all the time for a reason, after the last klutz attack ended up in a very embarrassing wardrobe malfunction, for everyone else, I could have cared less. "
Chat blinks before he races off, when he returns he finds his partner observing from a far off building, " What's the plan? "
" Well, save the damsels, save the victim, capture the Susanoo damned akuma, purify it, then use my Miraculous Ladybug Power to fix all this damage. "
That was when the evil Miraculous Holder makes his appearance, and Ladybug captures, and purifies all the akuma, " You've heard one evil villain speech you've heard them all, Orokana neko. "
Chat snickers, " I doubt Hawkmoth will be happy you cut him off like that, My Lady. "
Ladybug looks unrepentant, and then she groans, " You save the bleach blonde. "
" Hell no, I can barely stand her in my civilian life, My Lady. I happen to know she does not like her own gender. "
Ladybug glares at him, " I can tell pretentious uppity bitches when I see them, Dealt with far too many of them. "
" Please, My Lady, I don't need to encourage her to have a crush on this identity. "
Ladybug sighs, but saves the bleach blonde, and sets her none too gently on her feet. Then she looks up, and starts cursing the bleach blonde out in her native Japanese. Chat only understands a few of the things she was saying, " Blondie, do you know the girl's name? "
" Mylene, why? "
" Chat, charm the girl, Bitch Barbie here is the indirect cause of this Susanoo damned mess. Stoneheart has a crush on Mylene. "
Chat nods, Stoneheart had set her down, Ladybug glares at Chloe, " I may have to save your Bitch Barbie hide, but that doesn't mean I have to be nice to you. Learn to curb your damned tongue. "
Ladybug sighs in relief when Mylene kissing the boy whom has a crush on her turns him back, and she de-evilizes the akuma, before using her Miraculous Ladybug power. Then she flies away with her Lucky Charm, Chat following her. They land on a roof, " How'd you know? "
" I'm an empath, and Bitch Barbie is going to annoy me in short order, Orokana neko. "
Chat has to laugh, " Anything I should know? "
" I'm terrified of thunderstorms. "
Chat winces, " Here's hoping we don't have any battles during on then. If we do, I'll be right there. "
" Later, Orokana neko. "
Chat Noir goes for a run, thinking about Ladybug. Some part of him could feel a connection to her other than being partners to fight evil. Didn't hurt that the Ladybug outfit flattered her figure.
