Here's Duusu. I'm sorry, but it's also angst (though my beta reader said it was also cute so...) This is the last angst though, I swear.

It's similar to Nooroo's, except it's about Adrien's mom, whom I named Elaine (cuz I like the name).

Duusu and Elaine are singing the movie length version of "You'll Be in my Heart" by Phil Collins from Tarzan


[Duusu, in her miraculous, reminiscences about Elaine (Adrien's mother) inside the pocket dimension of the miraculous]

Seconds to minutes...

To hours to days...

To months, and to years…

Maybe infinity; Duusu had once thought in the distant past.

Untouched for so long, time became senseless for her - for the peacock kwami within the magical confinement of her guarded treasure. The only thing she became aware of was that man, who kept opening and closing something outside the miraculous… she learned to get used to it.

...She never learned to like it, or this. This situation, This predicament, THIS… prison…

Duusu didn't like the feeling at all. Her miraculous was never to be a prison! Sure she was crybaby amongst her kwami comrades, but it didn't mean she wasn't strong. She HAD to - for them… for herself… for her...

And so Duusu does what she has always done… fall into another memory lane trip of her chosen ones while waiting for her new one, particularly her last charge and the happy times they shared.

Ahh, it only felt like yesterday…

'Come my little bird, it's ok.'

-sniffles continue on-

'Shh~ it's ok. Hush now.'

She remembered the gentleness of being cradled in the soft hands she will always miss. The sweet yet not overbearing scent of her tangerine perfume and rosemary that made Duusu feel at home over and over again. Lastly, the loving motherly-like tone of Elaine's voice when she sang to her..

How did it go again…

[Duusu]

...Come stop... your crying

It will be alright

...Just take my hand...

Hold it tight

I will protect you

From... all around you

I… I will be here

-sniff- Don't you cry

In her dreams, she was once again cradled into Elaine's hands as her charge laid her next to her in bed while she sang.

[Elaine]

For one so small,

You seem so strong

My arms will hold you

Keep you safe and warm

This bond between us

Can't be broken

I will be here

Don't you cry

The real Duusu had watched the scene over and over again as time passed on. Honestly, it was infuriating at times to look at the source of her pain continuously… yet, she couldn't help, but sing along as well.

[Together]

'Cause you'll be in my heart

Yes, you'll be in my heart

From this day on

Now and forever more

You'll be in my heart

No matter what they say

You'll be here

In my heart

Always

Suddenly, she felt warmth coursing all over her body. The touch of an outer presence wrapping their fingers over her miraculous. Light suddenly poured into the empty space as Duusu woke up, but she didn't smile. Instead, as she woke up with tears still in her eyes, she grew confident and held herself together before heading into the light.

We'll always be together Elaine. Like all of my other charges! Stay strong, wherever you are.

And I will as well. For you.


I love this song! I also hope Duusu won't be akumatized (at least that's what I heard from the roaming theories).

Up next is the fox kwami, Trixx.
