Cat Noir was about to remove the cloth off her chest but received a punch from her, making him grunt like a gorilla, and shook his face to recover.
"Back off! Who hell are you?!" The wild girl with untamed indigo hair said.
Cat Noir did not say a word but he came closer to her, grabbing her hand and curiously pressing his hand on her, noticing that they are a match in their paw size.
"What are you doing?" She asked again.
He removed his cat mask to reveal his eyes to her.
"Who are you?" The girl asked again.
"Cat Noir" Cat Noir replied.
"I'm Ladybug," Ladybug said.
"There you are, Ladybug! You had me worried!" A female leopard came out of the bushes.
"Sorry, I just met this guy" Ladybug apologized.
"Technically I saved you from a beast" Cat Noir gestures to the dead lion.
"Yeah, and he saved me from the scarred lion," Ladybug said.
"You're welcome," Cat Noir said.
Plagg soon came to the scene, "I don't believe it! You killed the lion by yourself?!"
"Yeah, to save another creature that is like me," Cat Noir said.
"Like her?" Plagg noticed Marinette.
"Plagg?" The female leopard recognized Plagg.
"Tikki?" Plagg said.
"You two know each other?" Ladybug asked.
"Yes, we're close friends," Tikki said.
"You never told me that you had a spotted friend," Cat Noir said.
"Well, it's been over 14 years," Plagg said.
"I can't believe I'm not the only animal in the jungle," Cat Noir said.
"Me either," Ladybug said.
"Well, looks like we need to get to know each other" Cat Noir said.
"What?! No way! You just only met her!" Plagg got in front of Cat Noir.
"Is there a problem?" Cat Noir asked.
Plagg knows what can happen. Mating season always happens to animals when they are ready to mate.
"Well, you two just met so no need to rush" Plagg excused.
"Um, okay" Cat Noir didn't understand.
"Heh, looks like we have something in common" Ladybug said.
"You could say that Ladybug" Cat Noir said.
"You raised a human cub, Plagg?" Tikki asked.
"Yes, this lion took his mother" Plagg nodded at the lion's carcass.
"That lion? The same one you saw that killed my mother?" Cat Noir asked.
"Yes, it's him" Plagg nodded.
"He killed your mother? I'm so sorry" Ladybug said.
"It's okay. I barely knew her but she must've risked her life to keep me safe" Cat Noir walks with her, leaving the big cats behind.
"Plagg, shouldn't we stop them?" Tikki asked.
"No. My cub should know what he is by getting to know his kind" Plagg said.
"Very well then" Tikki replied.

With Cat Noir and Ladybug, they were sitting on top of a giant tree to chat. Cat Noir thought his kind went extinct but he was wrong the whole time. Maybe there are more out there.
"I was raised by panthers and I tried fitting in, being like them, but all I do is make weapons. They don't like the water but I do" Cat Noir explains about his life.
"Interesting" Ladybug said.
"And what about you?" Cat Noir asked.
"Tikki said I was found in a basket near the river. She took me in, raised me in a cave, and learned how to hunt like a leopard" Ladybug said.
"Funny because your colors aren't exactly like a leopard" Cat Noir noted the reddish tone on her clothing.
"Well, I wanted to have the feeling of good luck like a ladybug," Ladybug said.
"Plagg called me Cat Noir for black cat," Cat Noir said.
"Nice. And where did you get that mask?" Ladybug asked.
"Inside a cave," Cat Noir said.
"Interesting, Kitty" Ladybug said.
"Kitty?" He raised a brow.
"Just a nickname for you" Ladybug explained.
"I like that," Cat Noir said.
"You're welcome, Kitty" Ladybug scratched his chin like a real cat.
He purred out loud from that and closed his eyes.
"Awwww….. did I hear you purr?" Ladybug smirked.
"Uhhhh… no" Cat Noir blushed.
"Sure you didn't," Ladybug said and winced a little from the claw mark on her leg.
"That's gonna leave a nasty scar" Car Noir looked closer.
"Yeah. That lion didn't like creatures that walk on two legs" Ladybug winced.
"I noticed. Hang on" Cat Noir carried her to the mountains where he usually goes to heal his wounds. The hot springs.
"Now, just dip your leg there" He placed her near a hot spring.
Ladybug winced as her legs touched the warm water, "What is this? It's hot" Marinette said.
"I call them the healing springs. I come here often to relax my body or to recover" Cat Noir said.
"It seems like God knows how to create healing grounds," Ladybug said.
"Mmmhmmm" Cat Noir dipped his own feet into the water.
"What are you doing?" Ladybug asked.
"Just wanting to chill out here, Bugaboo" Cat Noir replied.
"I see Kitty cat. Oh, wait, you called me Bugaboo?" Ladybug said.
"Yeah, so you have a nickname too," Cat Noir said.
"Adorable. I never realized hot water is healing my wound" Ladybug said.
"Well, you'll need to get here often," Cat Noir said.
"Those claw things on your knuckles. That's your weapon?" Ladybug asked and slowly got out of the hot springs.
"Yes since my fingernails aren't that sharp" Cat Noir explained.
"I see. I hunt with bow and arrows" Ladybug said.
"I use mostly my spear and clawed knuckledusters," Cat Noir said.
After getting healed up, they head to where Ladybug lives. In the cave near the waterfall where Tikki is that already made a kill. It was a bongo antelope she just slaughtered.
"Oh, Ladybug. I was saving meat for you and your…..feline friend?" Tikki said.
"Well he's our guest," Ladybug said.
"Hi" Cat Noir waved.
"Oh welcome Noir" Tikki said.
"Let me make the fire" Ladybug grabs two flintstones to spark them.
"Wow, I thought I was the only one that knows how to make fire" Cat Noir said.
"I discovered when I once drew on the stone wall and it sparked" Ladybug explained.
"I simply played with rocks and accidentally caused the leaf on fire" Cat Noir explained his discovery and took a chunk of meat, tying it on a stick.
"Interesting Kitty" Ladybug did the same.
"So I guess we don't like cold meat," Cat Noir said, letting the meat cook.
"Well I got ill once by it," Ladybug said.
"What exactly are we, Ladybug?" Cat Noir asked and ate his cooked meat.
"I have no idea. We both got things in common with the chimps than the leopards" Ladybug said.
"Have you seen others that look like us?" Cat Noir asked while Tikki went out to go drink water.
"No, only you" Ladybug said.
"Oh, I see. Well, that makes us a male and a female of our species" Cat Noir said before munching the roasted meat.
