Ladybug kept her guard up as she followed Chat Noir through his uh lovely home. She wasn't lucky enough to have night vision like him, but at least she could see thanks to the lit torches around.

Chat Noir looked straight ahead. So many thoughts went through his mind. To be attacked by Ladybug and to fight her. What a dream come true. He loved her ready and he was pretty sure his mom was going to get on him about this new love. He only hoped she wasn't crazy like his ex Chloe. Thanks to his mom, she got her to go away for a little bit.

"Call me Chat Noir, M'Lady."

Ladybug would blush at the thought of a masked stranger who called her such a cute life. "I'm sorry for attacking you."

"It's okay. I'm not as evil as Tom puts me to be." Chat took a turn to the left, passing by the prison area where creatures were left to die because they tried to kill him or something that wasn't all that bad. More like he overreacted.

He rubbed the back of his head, very well embarrassed of being near Ladybug. Oh boy. Was his blush visible with her? Oh right. It was dark in here. Just a few more steps.

"Here."

"To be honest..." she trailed off her words. "I got here through a secret entrance that you might know about. I know who you're talking about."

He took one of her hands from behind him and kissed the back of it. "It doesn't matter to me. Ever since I first saw you...you're in my mind."

She pulled her hand away and pushed her finger towards the tip of his nose. "No flirting for you, kitty cat. I need to know something from Fu first. Then maybe we can talk and get to know each other more." she walked past him with her wings lowered.

He just stared at her.

Where Fu was held, Marinette knew the area. She bowed respectively towards the monk who sat criss-cross with Wayzz.

Wayzz had been with Ladybug, but he separated when she fought with Chat Noir. He was about to tell her that he didn't feel any negative energy, but needed to be away to tell Fu what was going on.

"Hello, Ladybug. Nice to see you again. Same to you Chat Noir." Fu said kindly. His kwami had mentioned something that was urgent information. He had a feeling that Marinette already knew but wasn't quite sure if she was right with who the culprit might be. "I have been told that the moth miraculous has been activated. I am not sure where. I do fear the worst."

Ladybug looked away from Fu. "I... I thought Nooroo was with Chat Noir. Please tell me who might Hawkmoth be?" her voice was desperate to get some answers.

"There is one way, but it is very dangerous. You both might not like what I ask of."

Chat Noir was about to call this all off, but when he saw the way Ladybug looked at him...he gave in. "What is it?"

"You must de-transform so that your kwamis can go into another world and summon for Nooroo."

The spotted fairy hesitated. It was too soon to do this. There had to be some other way. Her wings fluttered slightly as she had become nervous about what to do. "No wait.. I have a feeling of who this mysterious person could be." she looked so ashamed that she fell in love with a backstabbing idiot. "My ex-boyfriend. His name is Hawkmoth. Some guards got controlled and Hawkmoth wasn't present. I'm not even sure."

The cat goblin hugged her.

She was surprised by his sudden embrace of her. In such a long time, she felt warm. Maybe there was a chance that she'd be with him. Just a little.

Fu put a hand underneath his chin to think for a moment. "Has Hawkmoth given you his real name?"

That question gave Ladybug some time to think. There was at least one time that he had mentioned his name. It was at the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't remember it. The hug Chat Noir remained to do distracted her.

Maybe she could just drown herself in his arms and they'd live happily ever after. She felt she already knew him. No...that couldn't be right.

"Adrien!"

Chat Noir turned to his mother and facepalmed. "Mom! Not in front of Ladybug!"

"Oh, I'm sorry!" the short creature hugged Chat Noir's legs.

The cat boy was now embarrassed and he could've sworn that Ladybug looked at him dreamily.

Hawkmoth's fists hit down on a glass table that had cracked and broken in front of some of the servants finishing up the Half Moon Ball.

Some would become angry, but never say it to the king's soon-to-be son-in-law. And others would shake in fear, and continue to work fast so they wouldn't be the ones that got the wrath of Hawkmoth.

"Guards! Where is Marinette? Did you fetch her as I asked?"

"We couldn't find her, sir!" one spoke up. The guard saluted Hawkmoth because he was after all going to be a king soon. "We did see sightings of her go into the Dark Forest, sir."

"I'll lead an army to rescue my Marinette.." he smiled to himself. 'Then she'll have to defiantly fall in love with me after I save her from that evil Chat Noir.'
