First things first, I would like to offer my gratitude to reviewer FenLexLuthor, who happens to be Lukagami shipper! Thanks for the feedback, and the faves and following! I hope the next chapter will be just as awesome!

So for this drabble, I decided to show my age and use for reference a scene from 'The Karate Kid 2'-specifically, the tea ceremony between Daniel and Kimiko…what can I say, I'm a sucker for WAFF…

On to the story!

Chapter 2: The Tea Ceremony

Perfect…everything must be perfect…

For what seemed like the 10th time in 2 minutes, Kagami Tsurugi overlooked the tableau she set up. She turned to Marinette Dupain-Cheng-her partner for this venture, and asked, "Do you think he'll like this?"

Marinette giggled, and replied, "I'm sure he'll love it, Kagami. Just the effort you're going through for this…I can't even get Adrien to go on a date-and having dinner at my parent's bakery doesn't count."

Kagami sighed-and realized that after she and Luka began spending time together, she was acting like some love-struck schoolgirl. Which she wasn't-well she was a schoolgirl, but she wasn't love-struck…

Kagami then said, "Marinette…is this normal?"

Marinette repleid, "What, Kagami?"

"These…things I'm feeling…they are the same feelings I had for Adrien...but it seems so different. Luka makes me feel like I don't have to be perfect…" Kagami replied.

Marinette rubbed her chin in thought, then said, "Well, I can't really answer that, Kagami, but…if you know that being with him makes you this happy, then you know what it is."

Kagami smiled at her new friend, and said, "You're right. Now, I need to change."

Meanwhile, Luka was doing some musical compositions. He'd write, play the song, change a part, play again, change another part. Adrien was listening, as Luka wanted his input on the song he was writing.

Luka said, "So, Adrien-what's your opinion?"

Adrien said, "Well, I really can't find fault with it, Luka."

Luka said, "I know. But it has to be perfect. It's a ballad."

Adrien said, "A ballad, huh? Didn't think you were the romantic type, Luka."

Luka said, "I'm not. But it's for Kagami-and it must be perfect."

Adrien said, "You're writing a love song for Kagami? Wow, I wish I could do that for Marinette. All I know how to do…is look pretty in someone else's clothes."

Luka said, "I'm sure that any little thing you do for her will send her over the moon. But Kagami…I don't know how we even happened…but I'm happy we did."

Adrien was silent at that. He knew the rocker had a crush on Marinette, just as Kagami had a crush on him. But after he and Marinette got together (finally!), Luka knew he had pick up the broken pieces of his heart and move on. And now that he was with Kagami, he felt he did just that.

Luka played a few more chords on his guitar, then turned his attention to the brown bag Adrien brought. He said, "So, Adrien, what's up with the bag?"

Adrien replied, "Glad you asked, Luka."

30 minutes later-

Adrien had sent Marinette a text message: Luka's ready, I'm on my way.

Marinette's message said: OK, cool. Kagami's ready!

Luka said, "Adrien…I don't think this is my thing…"

Luka was wearing a green haori over a white kosode, with a black hakama. Adrien said, "Well…I think Kagami will like it…"

Luka smiled, and said, "All right, then. Let's go."

Adrien and Luka arrived at their destination-a small secluded area in the park. Adrien saw AMrinette waving for him. Adrien said, "Alright, this way!"

Meanwhile, Marinette said to Kagami, "They're here!"

Kagami-calm, cool, collected Kagami-panicked, saying, "Oh, no! Marinette, I knew this was a bad idea! He's not going to like this! Now I'll never ger married, have 4 kids, and our koi pond!"

Marinette chuckled, and said, "That sounds familiar…anyway,, breath, Kagami! I sure he'll like it…"

At that moment, Luka appeared-and he saw Kagami. She was wearing a pink kimono-and Luka swore it made her more beautiful that any girl he'd ever seen. And she was in awe of how Luka looked in his outfit. She motioned for him to sit.

She the said, "Luka…this is a tea ceremony. In Japan-my old home-tea ceremonies can be used for many occasions. And today…is a special one as well."

Kagami then grabbed a red handkerchief and the tea spoon-which looked like a small metal hook. She then wiped the spoon on the handkerchief and measured out the tea into a large bowl. After tapping the spoon on the side of the bowl, she poured some hot water into the bowl. She then took the tea whisk and stirred the tea.

As she did this, Luka could only watch in adoration Kagami was sharing this special moment with him. Every so often, she's look at him and show him a small smile, Now, she picked up the tea bowl, and turned the bowl 3 times to the right, then set it in front of Luka.

Luka picked up the bowl, and turned the bowl 3 times in the opposite direction. He took the bowl and drank the tea. Then, he turned the bowl three times and returned it to Kagami. He then said, "Thank you, Kagami, for letting me share this occasion with you. But what is the occasion?"

Kagami took a deep breath, and replied, "The day…I tell you my true feelings. I…I love you, Luka."

Luka stood in shock-the girl he had these budding feelings for felt the same as he did! But then…he noticed Kagami's expression had changed. She was looking sad about something…

She then sadly said, "I knew it…I knew this was a bad idea…I feel like such a fool…"

Luka said, "Wait…what are you talking about?"

Kagami repleid, "This! I did this…this special ceremony…to let you know I love you…and you...rejected me…"

Wait…she thinks I'm rejecting her? No! No! NO!

Luka then said, "Kagami…I have been waiting for you to say that to me…because I love you, too."

Kagami looked at Luka hopefully, and said, "You…you do?

Luka said, "After you did this, and why…how could I not?"

Kagami then smiled-the same smile Luka found so endearing-and embraced him. Luka then said, "Well, there's only one way to wrap this ceremony up." He gently cupped her chin and brought his lips to hers. As they shared the kiss, Kagami wrapped her arms around Luka's neck, and he gripped her waist. And as wonderful as the kiss was, they had to separate for air.

Luka looked at Kagami, and he could swear she was glowing. This moment changed both of them-no longer were they two strangers with broken hearts, but a couple who found the remedy in each other.

Kagami said, "Come. I have dinner, as well." As they left the park, Luka then asked, "So…tell me about these four children we're supposed to have…"

Kagami's face reddened, and she said, a bit loudly, "LUKA! You heard that?"

And so ends this tidbit of Lukagami!

Next up- in 'The Miraculos Road Trip', our teen travelers explore Brussels and Antwerp, one of the diamond centers of the world.

In 'The Viper and the Dragon', I may go for something more action oriented, focusing on their hero personas, with some pain (FYI, I don't do angsty stuff, but I'm willing to branch out, It's still gonna gave a happy ending!)

I'm out!
