Chapter 17

After the end of the lessons, Nathaniel met up with Lila at the house of Master Wang Fu and sat in front of the entrance waiting for the man to end the massage session.

"We probably could have told her about it before. We could have avoided this to happen"

"I'm sorry Lila" Nathaniel apologized grabbing the brunette on her hand. "I didn't expect this would happen, even less I expected, that I would destransform back right in front of her"

"Good thing is, that you two are still befriended after that or that she didn't get to feel betrayed or just bad about it and end up akumatized,"

"That's what I was afraid of. Imagine I had to fight her….or worse….what if I had to fight you?" Asked Nathaniel shocked. "I couldn't fight you if you were akumatized,"

"Baby I won't let this happen to me."

"I know, but what if something happens, that makes you very, very sad or even angry?"

"I will just think about you or you or my friends are around to help me think positive again" Lila responded making Nathaniel smile, followed by the brunette peck the redhead on his lips.

The door next to them opened back and Master Fu stood there holding the door and waving at his patient, which was leaving the room.

"Thank you, sir. I'm feeling much more relaxed after your massage."

"It was a pleasure." Wang Fu responded, then moved his index finger at the teens to sign them to enter into the room.

"Good afternoon" Greeted the senior. "What brings you two here again? Did Trixx eat anything wrong again?"

"No Master, we came because of Karaa," Explained Lila and the kwamis of the two students came out from their jackets and Karaa flew straight to Wang Fu.

"Befow at the school I couldn't twansfowm Nathaniel back by his commands and only ended up twansfowming him back on the wwong moment" Explained the duo-eye colored kwami putting the man in shock.

"Oh boy and how many caught Nathaniel's transformation?"

"Only my friend Alix" Responded Nathaniel. "No one else"

"Is that the girl from the Super Nathan blog?" Questioned Mr. Fu.

"You know about the blog?" Questioned Lila surprised.

"Yes and I also know about the Miss Vixen blog," Told Master Fu. "I have never seen something that disrespecting in my life

"I find it strange, that no one has ever done with Ladybug in the past"

"I don't think Alya would ever post something like that" The brunette added to the conversation of the three. "And with 13 or 14 it would be kind of strange to do that"

"That's a good point" Nathaniel mentioned. "And what will be about Karaa?"

"Well, I've told you once about Karaa's defect, that happened during her creation."

"Yes she also can't mix up with another kwami"

"Exactly and now it seems, that Karaa will sometimes have issues with destransforming back or transforming back"

"Is it possible, that it could happen during missions?" Questioned Nathaniel making Master Fu shrug his shoulders.

"This can be a possibility, but I don't think this is something that is going to happen every day, my boy"
"But what if it does?" Asked Nathaniel, then Lila grabbed her boyfriend on the shoulders.

"Don't worry, we'll be around if something happens" Promised the Italian girl.

"You could try out to feed your kwami with other type of cereals. Which one are you giving her currently?" Questioned Wang Fu.

"First it was from Fastquick and now I organized for her the new ones with white and black chocolate cornflakes"

"Hmm and how long ago is that?"

"A month I think" Responded Nathaniel.

"Try to keep feeding her with the ones you got to know for two months, then try the old ones again. In case you two have trouble in transforming or destranforming again, change to the next cornflakes to see how long she can hold without the issue" Suggested the grey-haired man earning a nod from the redhead.

"Okay we going to try it," Nathaniel said looking at Karaa, who flew down at his cheek to hug him.

"Aww," Lila said caressing the kwami on her back with the index finger. Master Fu observed them with a smile, then looked back at Trixx, who levitated over the shoulder of her holder, then the master tapped on the kwami's back, which looked down at the man and saw a small bottle with small pellets in various colors similar to candy on the hands of the man, then the senior held it closer to Trixx for her to grab it.

"What is that?" Asked Trixx shaking it near her ear.

"In case you've got to eat something with milk in it, you can take one of these pills to avoid you from flatulence"

"Thank you, master," Trixx said handing the bottle to the brunette girl, which took it with her left hand and used her right hand to pet the fox between her ears, making it purr.

"Nathy now you can hear it," Lila said and Nathaniel looked up at the duo-colored kwami to listen to its noise.

"Okay, you convinced me," The German boy said, making Lila chuckle and let the kwami sit down on the palm of her hand.

In the evening Adrien and Kagami stood in line waiting for their turn to buy their ticket for the movies.

"Are you sure you want to watch it?" Asked Kagami looking at the blonde boy, who stood beside her in the queue.

"I don't mind. I just want to know, why everyone is talking about it...at least the girls"

"Well, we're going to find out today, why" Kagami replied earning a nod from the blonde and move forward to the ticket booth as the previous guest left with his tickets, then the couple approached the male ticket seller.

"Good evening….oh I remember you two?" The man mentioned making Adrien smile a little courteous. "You two were here at the movie premiere of Ladybug and Chat Noir, right?"

"Yes, yes" Responded Adrien. "And you're the one, who presented the movie"

"Exactly!" Agreed the man. "You two did a great voice acting for the characters, mostly you Adrien. You sounded astounding, I felt like the real Cat Noir was on the studio doing the job"

"Yeah….I….really hear that a lot," Adrien said rolling his eyes away of the man a little unsure about his knowledge.

"We practiced a lot together to give the fans the best results, we could offer" Kagami added to help Adrien defend his secret identity.

"You two did well then" The man complimented, then he looked back at his computer to focus on his job. "Sorry, if I can't talk to you anymore, more people are waiting for the tickets and you two are probably doing the same"

"Yes sir, we would like to have two tickets for the movie the rise of a star"

"Good and would you like two seats in the east side in the middle row or in one of the first rows somewhere?" The man asked turning his screen at the two to show them the full seat plan of a cinema hall with red lightened dots and a few white ones, which signaled the seats, that were free.

"Shall we take the ones on the east side?" Asked Adrien. "We have a better sight to the screen"

"I'm good with it" Kagami replied and the man tapped on the two white seats to reserve it for the two, turned the screen back to him to print out the tickets for the two and handed it out at the two.

"That be 16 euros," The man said and Adrien took from his pocket two ten euro notes while Kagami had taken four 5 euro cash bills and both placed it on the table in front of the man.

"I'll pay for both of us," Adrien told his girlfriend, who shook her head.

"No, I'll pay for us. You paid last time for us" Kagami denied Adrien's offer shoving her bills closer to the man.

"You don't really need to pay for me, I owe you this" Adrien mentioned making the man in the booth chuckle.

"Look you two, you could just pay your own ticket?" Suggested the ticket salesman. "You two got enough money after all?"

"Sure" Agreed Kagami.

"Right, sorry," Adrien said handing the man the red bill and Kagami gave the man two of her green cash bills, which he then slid into a scanner to verify if the money wasn't faked. After the bills passed the test, the man gave the two the change back along with the tickets.

"Would you two like the…."

"No, thank you" Responded Kagami and Adrien in a chorus, making the man smile.

"Have a nice evening" The man wished and the couple walked away entering the corridor, where the entrances to the various cinema rooms are located.

Later the two sat together in the hall with a bucket of popcorn watching the movie showing a young woman singing together with a more mature man a song together on a stage in front of an audience with fans. Between the leans of the seat the kwamis Plagg and Tikki sat there too with a few popcorn flocks in front of them and Tikki held one with her paws, taking a bite of the flock while watching the movie attentive.

"What's so interesting about that movie?" The black kwami questioned looking at Adrien and Kagami, that observed the woman singing. "It's so kitschy," Plagg said sticking his tongue out in disgust, then heard Tikki shush at the cat kwami and looked up at the screen to observe the duo singing.

"If you want you can get into my pocket and watch anything else instead?" Suggested Adrien looking down at the black kwami.

"No, it makes me feel lonely" Responded the kwami making the blonde chuckle.

"What about a nap?" Asked Adrien looking at Plagg, who shrugged the shoulders.

"I could try, but with the bass inside the cinema on high volume won't let me sleep in that easy" Plagg complained making Adrien roll his eyes.

"Try listening to the lullaby we play Hope to sleep" The French boy suggested. "You have always felt asleep with it"

"I?" Asked Plagg shocked. "I'm not a kitty anymore. I'm a grown tomcat, I only fell asleep there, cause I was exhausted" Plagg said crossing his arms.

"Whatever you say, but try it out" Adrien said putting his airpods into the cat's ears, then started to play a lullaby and Adrien observed Plagg take the end of Adrien's jacket up at the lean and lie himself upon it, looking up at the ceiling awake as he was listening to the melody. Adrien had a simpering smile on his face, which slowly turned into a smirk as he saw his kwami Plagg starting to close his eyes to sleep and near Plagg's head Kagami came with her hand to fondle between the ears of the kwami, making it smile and cover himself with the jacket.

"Gees Plagg is nearly growing into the role of a small kitten" Kagami mentioned now hearing Plagg purring quietly, making the blue-haired girl smile enamored with the abstract creature.

"At one point Plagg is right. The movie is a little kitschy to my taste" Adrien admitted earning a nod from the girlfriend.

"Well the last couple of scenes were getting a little too novelish, to be honest, but the drama must come later at some point," Kagami said looking back at the big screen along with her boyfriend.

"In the deep of the river…..in the deep of the river…..in the river….." The duo sang together, this making Kagami beam at how cute it was seeing the duet on screen, afterward she lied her head next to Adrien's shoulder, who smiled after he felt her soft cheek, then he placed his left hand on Kagami's forehead to pass her bang aside and give her a kiss on it, making her smile amourously and look up at him with a smirk. The blonde smiled cheekily at the girl, which grinned playfully at the boy and raised up close at the boy pointing her lips going for a kiss, but unexpectedly a blonde teenage boy with tan skin looked out from the back row coming between the two with his head and ended up being kissed by the two.

"Hey Adrien!" Greeted the blonde rolling his eyes at Adrien, therefore the couple opened their eyes in surprise as they were kissing a student from their school.

"Wayhem?" Asked Adrien bewildered as he had got in the way of his kiss with Kagami.

"I didn't know you were here too watching the movie," Wayhem said placing his hands on the two seats behind the two fencing students.

"I am" Responded Adrien. "I and Kagami are on a date" Explained Adrien looking at Kagami along with the tan-skinned boy.

"Ah that's cool," Wayhem said waving at the Japanese girl. "Hi Kagami"

"Hey" Greeted Kagami waving back at the boy.

"Hey I've colored my hair a few days ago blonde," Wayhem said showing Adrien his wig. "How does it look?"

"Uh..." Adrien replied looking at Kagami, which had also looked at the new hairstyle then shrugged her shoulders as she looked back at the model. "I think it looks great on you" Responded Adrien. "I also liked you before with brown hair, but blonde is also fine"

"I know, now I look almost like you," Wayhem told the model excitedly. "Except for my skin and face"

"That's really great, Wayhem"

"Yes, it is" Wayhem replied with a glow on his face of happiness to be near his idol. Adrien looked along with Kagami back at the screen, then they felt Wayhem cross his arms and lie his head over them sighing in love at seeing the movie. "I love dramas, do you two love it too?" The blonde asked looking at Adrien, who looked up at the former brunette.

"Are your friends here too?" Asked Adrien and the boy shook his head.

"I came by myself" The boy responded. "They're not interested in this movie, so I came all alone"

"Oh," Adrien said sad.

"Yeah," Wayhem said dropping his head down on his arms sighing. Adrien and Kagami looked at the boy, that was alone there in the cinema then they looked at each other and the blue-haired girl looked beside Adrien at a seat, that was empty and Kagami moved her arm up at the seat to show Adrien it.

"Has the seat been free since the session had started?" Questioned the Japanese girl earning a nod from the blonde.

"Yes," The model responded, then widened his eyes as he had gotten an idea, after that he looked back at Wayhem, who rolled his brown eyes at the blonde. "Hey Wayhem, this seat here next to me hasn't been taken since the beginning of the movie, if you want you can sit here" Offered Adrien causing to smile fantastic and hop over the seat next to Adrien.

"Thank you, the evening will be fantastic!" Wayhem confessed hitting the blonde on the back. "Just you and me," Wayhem said looking at the blonde and behind him, Kagami crossed her arms annoyed with the tan-skinned blonde.

"Kagami is here too. I owe her this evening after all" Adrien said looking back at Kagami, which gazed then neutrally at the blonde. "Sorry, if I won't pay a lot of attention to you Wayhem, but I had promised Kagami to go out with her this evening and not have any interruptions by incidents"

"Oh sure, I stop if it gets annoying or something" The fanboy promised earning a nod from the blonde, then the two looked back at the screen and seconds later Adrien looked at Kagami, afterward he grabbed the girl on her hand giving her a peck on the top of it.

"Where was I before?" Asked Adrien making Kagami smile romantically and press her lips on his, wrapping her hands around him after that she leaned her face on his, while keeping her arms around the boy wanting to continue to snuggle with him, which he delightfully let her do so and the two enjoyed together the rest of the movie, even if Adrien's fan Wayhem was present.

Meanwhile at the house of Master Fu Luka and Marinette went to visit the man to explain to him, what happened to them a couple of days ago.

"I didn't check out if I had all miraculouses. I had gotten in panic after the fall as the miraculouses had got spread on the floor and the other sablés got broken on the streets" Marinette explained to Wang Fu.

"It also was my fault, I didn't pay attention and crashed with her against the helicopter" Viperion's alter ego informed the older man.

"I stupid didn't even realize before the miraculous was gone, if I noted it earlier we wouldn't have had this problem at the school with Juleka," Marinette said sad and Luka placed his arm behind Marinette to comfort her.

"Stay positive Marinette, before an akuma feels your sadness and catches you" The raven-haired boy warned the girlfriend, who nodded at the boy and took a deep breath and exhaled out.

"Well, the only thing we can do now is fighting the next akuma villains, until we find more hints about who's our new Hawk Moth and where he is located," Wang Fu told the two Jagged Stone fans, which looked at each other.

"Could there be a possibility to be a previous villain we fought before?" Luka questioned the master.

"You mean like Gabriel Agreste?" Questioned Marinette looking at her boyfriend.

"Yeah or that woman, that kidnapped Adrien's mom"

"Nathalie?" Asked Marinette. "But she's in jail, isn't she?"

"I don't know. For how long has she been sentenced to stay in jail?"

"I don't know, we had to ask Mr. Agreste or Adrien about it"

"Why don't you ask Mr. Agreste about Nathalie's penalty?" Questioned Wang Fu. "Just in case"

"We could do that" Offered Marinette. "And if none of the two are guilty, then we gotta look for more clues"

"Yes, but let's check the first two out and if we have to go pass by the prison, we gotta do that tomorrow, cause it's already late"

"Yes Luka" Agreed Marinette, then Luka placed his arm behind his girlfriend.

"Don't worry, we will fix this. It's just a matter of time" Luka promised making Marinette smile, then a rock music theme started to play and Luka took from his pocket his smartphone out to see his mother was calling, then attended it.

"Hi mom….I'm with Marinette at a friend's house…..yes I come….what?…..sure I ask her," Luka said taking the phone off his ear to talk to his girlfriend. "My mother is asking me if you're interested in dinner with us, she's doing home-made Cordon Bleu" Suggested Luka earning a nod from Marinette.

"That would be great, I just inform my parents, that I'm going to dinner with your family….or better they actually know I'm with your family"

"Cool" Luka said placing his smartphone back on his ear. "She's coming mom, see you later mom" Luka put his phone back, then looked at the older man, which smiled at the older boy.

"You two will keep me informed about it, right?" Master Fu asked earning a nod from the two. "And don't go alone somewhere dangerous. Ask your friends to assist you"

"We do Master," Marinette said walking at the door, then opened it, waiting for Luka to come. "Bye Master Fu"

"Bye," Luka said following Marinette out of the house and closing the door leaving the senior back with his kwami.

"Do you think they're all grown to this task Master?" Asked the turtle kwami looking down at his holder.

"Whoever is now on Hawk Moth's place, I think the reason behind this won't be the same as it was from Gabriel," Wang Fu said looking out of the window at the full moon, that was illuminated in the dark blue sky along with other small stars all over the skyline.
