"Ahh, Kagami. You have brought the miraculouses back to me?" The old master stood up from his cushion to open the miracle box for the Japanese girl.
"Just the fox one. Hasn't Marinette come back with the bee yet? She left before me and the holder's house is closer than the fox's." She asked puzzled as she placed the necklace into its spot, noting the absence of the bee comb. Just as Fu shut the box, a small green kwami flew rapidly into the room. Fear prevalent on his face.
"Master I sensed it, the bee, it's being misused. I fear Ladybug may be in danger." Kagami leapt up quickly. The look of panic strange on her usually stoic face. She reached for the box of miraculouses and grabbed the fox again, Trixx appeared in a flash of orange light.
"I hate to do this to you but are you able to transform again? Ladybug is in danger and I think I'm going to need your power if I'm to save her." Trixx nodded his head. "Good. Find your holder again, tell him to meet me near the Agreste mansion." The fox kwami flew out of the room, desperately looking to find Luka as Plagg appeared from Kagami's jacket.
"I knew it was a bad idea picking Adrien for the role. We need to hurry for Marinette's sake."
Kagami looked quizzically at her kwami. "Wait, how did you know?"
"Because he was my previous holder."
Ladybug's eyes darted around her, trying to find something she could use to escape. Though the main reason was to avoid Adrien's gaze.
"My lady, look at me. It's me! Your Kitten! Why won't you look at me?!" His fist hit the table next to her, causing her to jump and breaking her out of her frantic state. Her eyes turned to his and he stepped back. They weren't full of love like he had expected, they were full of malice.
"Let me go." Her voice was cold and demanding. If looks could kill, Adrien would've been dead ten times over. He shook his head. Her earrings beeped. There were two spots left. "Listen to me Adrien, if you ever loved me, you'll let me go." She hated being manipulative but desperate times called for desperate measures.
"You know I can't do that. I really love you Bugaboo but it's apparent you don't feel the same for me. By spending time with me, you'll soon feel the same. Besides, it's only fair I know your identity as I told you mine."
Her earrings beeped for the last time as she was engulfed by a bright pink light. When it subsided, Marinette sat in the chair, still tied up. Her eyes had tears in them that threatened to spill. The one that she had trusted for so long had just violated her privacy. Any shred of a crush had most certainly vanished.
"M-Mari? Oh, my goodness this is perfect! You were my second choice after Ladybug. But you're the same person! And Alya told me you had a crush on me so we both feel the same! Oh, I'm so happy I could kiss you!" He leant in for a kiss but was quickly kicked away by her free legs. "B-but…"
"But nothing! You harassed me while you still had your miraculous, so it got taken away. You abused my trust by using the bee miraculous against me. And you violated my trust by forcing me to show my identity to you. Yes, I had a crush on you but that has long gone now. Just like you will be when Kuro Neko on Foxic bust through that window."
He quickly turned around to see the two heroes standing on the opposite rooftop. His expression darkened. "Not if I stop them first. No one is taking you away from me until you see sense. Pollen, buzz on." A very tired kwami was sucked into the comb. His suit was darker than last time, the bright yellow turning to a more mustard colour.
"Good luck beating them without your power, seeing as you didn't feed your kwami." Marinette chimed, a smirk on her face. Adrien glowered at her as he tightened her restraints.
"Don't go anywhere, not that you can, this will be quick. I'm experienced after all." He swung out of the window at the two heroes who turned to run away.
Marinette sighed as she swivelled her chair to face the dark corner of the room, where two green eyes peered back at her. "Good idea using an illusion to lure him away. You'll make a great strategist. I knew you'd come and save me."
Kuro Neko stepped out of the shadows, her outfit allowing her to blend in seamlessly. "Of course, I came. You're my girlfriend after all."
