Ch.3 Come Back!

Mari's POV

Marinette didn't know why she ran. If you asked her, she'd just say 'I don't know'. She just kept running. And running she did, till she heard a young man screaming

"Hey get over here I just want to talk! Please, my petite Ladybug!" the man screamed.

'Ladybug? This guy is insane!' Mari thought as she made a turn around the corner and proceeded to go down the steps.

"Please don't trip, please don't trip." Marinette chanted as she fast-paced down a flock of steps, then took an immediate right. The catboy simply skidded on the railing and also proceeded to the right. He was on her tail, and Mari didn't like the looks of it.

"Gotta hide, gotta hide, gotta hide." Marinette chanted again as she looked around for a great place to hide.

"Psst! Hey! HEY!" Screamed a voice. Marinette had no time so she only followed the echo of the voice through more intricate hallways, till she found a hidden door. She hesitated, unsure if she should enter or not, but decided to since the crazy cat-man was right on her tail. She enters the room, to find it dark, a hand immediately covers her face, the girl begins to panic, but was calmed down when a girl with red hair and black spots made a gesture for silence. After what seemed like an eternity, Marinette's hand was released from the hand of the mysterious stranger who maybe friend? Or foe?

"Oh I feel so bad for doing this to his highness." The girl with red hair whispered, clear regret shone in her eyes. Another girl who was also present only smirked.

"Not me, I'm having tons of fun, who would have thought his highness could do that, gurl you sure gave him a run for his money!" The young woman with chocolate skin and ember hair yelled, clearly having fun in Mari's suffering.

"What was that guy's deal?!" Mari shouted, begging for some kind of answer.

"Well, you're his soulmate!" The girl with red hair retorted back like as if it was the most obvious thing in the universe.

"Some soulmate I have…" Marinette muttered to herself.

"I'll say, looks like you have a cat fetish!" The other girl said.

"Oh my miraculous, we have not introduced ourselves to you, please, my name is Tikki!"

"And I'm Alya, a pleasure to meet you your highness." Alya greeted with a bow.

"W-wait I'm ROYAL!?" Marinette cried out.

"Well yeah, it's kind of a prize for being soulmates with the future king of the Akumas." Alya explained nonchalant. Marinette was still processing this new information. Then a thought passed through her brain.

"W-w-w-w-w-wait! I-I can't be the future queen of the Akumas, s-s-s-surely there's been a mistake somewhere!"

"I'm sorry to say Marinette, but I know for sure who the soulmate of my highness is and that person is you." Tikki reassured.

"Even if I'm the soulmate, I can't be responsible for the millions of citizens as a queen! I'm just clumsy little Marinette with nothing special about her! Yep, my only dream is to become a fashion designer and-"

"You also told of that Chloe Bourgeois girl, who really needed to be shown her place as soon as I present this to the High Commision!" Alya interrupted Marinette by showing her the video recording of Marinette telling off Chloe.

"…then act like that!..." The message said.

"I can't believe this is happening…. I didn't even know what I was saying." Marinette groaned.

"Oh and here's another one!" Alya yelled showing Tikki a video recording of Mari and her friends' discussion regarding Marinette's confrontation.

"You were there too?!" Mari gasped in alarm.

"I was really pleased to know that at least someone that was human had some faith in us Akumas. In a way the two of us are really the same, just were we came from is all." Alya explained with wise words. Tikki nodded at this, while Marinette was feeling embarrassed from the compliment.

"I-I don't even know what , my err soulmate is like?" Marinette spoke in a whisper, but the two other girls heard.

"Then why don't you get to know him? I know you guys will get along." Tikki explained.

"B-but wh-what if he's disappointed, I mean like what if I'm a burden to him or something? Ugh I don't know guys, I might want to believe you, but this is way too soon. Besides, I'm sure he can find someone much more capable then me." Marinette admitted, feeling so low about herself.

"Pffft OMG HAHAHA THAT'S the EXACT SAME BULLSHIT HE HAD SAID TOO BEFORE HE MET YOU!" ALya started bawling on the floor laughing her ass off, while Marinette was giving her a cute pouty face.

"T-Tikki omg this is just ridiculous, hahah hehehehe. You know what?" ALya smirked.

"OH what might that be?" Tikki asked. Clearly the two girls were planning something and by the looks of it Marinette did not like where this was going.

"You know now that I think about it, I should really head off, gotta catch my class, don't want to be left behind or anything like that, so um bye?!" And with that Marinette was few inches to the door when a mysterious force kept her in place.

"Sorry your highness, but you are not going anywhere. We need you to be Queen of the Akumas, and you must come with us." Alya stated, her phone in hand glowing a brilliant magenta. Mari couldn't even scream, or move her head whatsoever. She was stuck, motionless as the two girls carried her off as if she were a statue.

"Damn you sure are light!" Alya commented. The two of the gals go all the way back to the cafeteria. Somehow everyone was gone. Alya places Marinette in a corner and unpauses her with her cellphone powers.

"Wh-what are you doing?!" Mari yelled in alarm.

"Gurl you need to chill."

"I can't relax, you just kidnapped me!"

"We didn't kidnap you gurl, we just brought you back to the rondvue point so that his highness may, well get to meet his princess and future queen!"

"I-I'm not ready to meet him Alya! What if he's mad at me for running of!? Oh god I'm soo dead!"

"He won't kill you, he has a heart full of sunshine and rainbows!" Tikki offered.

"I don't know…" Marinette said unsured.

"I don't really blame her Tikki, the dude literally transformed into Chat Noir and chased that girl. Honestly I found that hilarious." Alya giggle, wiping a tear from her eye.

"Man you should've seen the way he looked. He looked like he was gonna…"

"Gonna what Alya?!" A boy's voice asked.

"Pffft of nothing your highASSness." Alya giggled.

"Ugh, did you find her?" He asked.

"Uh… hi?" Marinette offered. She cursed her voice being so damn squeaky. He must think she was weak or something.

Adrien's POV

Adrien stared into her eyes, the shade of the blue skies of Tesa. Her cheecks had a rosy hue on them, god she looked like a goddess. HE visibly gulped and dropped his transformation. Plagg fell to the ground.

"Adrien FEED ME! YOU PIECE OF UTTER COW SH-"

"You can have all the cheese in the kitchen." Adrien dismissed. Plagg immediately got up, bowed to Adrien, and booked it to the kitchen to rid of all the kitchen's cheesy goodness.

"Plagg wait, oh please do be careful!" Tikki yelled as she went to her stupid cat.

"Sooo…. You guys gonna like you know?" Alya offered, showing a hand gesture with her pointing finger going through a ring alya made with her left hand. Mari blushed and looked away from Adrien, looking at the door as a plan started to formulate in her mind. Adrien got annoyed at Alya's antics and bobbed her on the head. Alya quickly reteated to the kitchen to film Plagg eating entire wheels of cheese.

"I'm sorry about that. With what you had to um deal with…" Adrien said awkwardly. He scratched the back of his head.

Adrienette POV

Marinette looked into his emerald green eyes. They looked strong, yet oh so kind. He was quite the gentleman.

"Oh um, sorry for uh running of like that, I sort of panicked and well yeah…" Marinette looked down to the floor in shame. Adrien chuckled a little at how cute she was. Damn the blushes were real.

"Bet it didn't help that I chased you like a cat?" Adrien smiled a little while raising his shoulders a little. The bluenette nodded to agree.

"Y-you know, I was scared…" Adrien admitted. Marinette shot her head up immediately at him. She wondered why, was it cause she wasn't his type? Maybe he was disappointed, I mean she was merely a human baker girl.

"I thought you'd be disappointed… that I was er your soulmate…" Marinette's eyes went wide. Adrien looked away from that adorable expressive cutie, looking at anywhere but her.

"Y-you know, when I found out about the whole soulmate thing…." Adrien looked back at her with a look of pension.

"I-I was scared, be-because I didn't know who you were or how you would act?" Adrien looked devastated.

"B-ut it's not like that now!" Marientte reasurres to the prince. God why did he have to have a cute pouty face. It reminded her of a lost kitten. She wanted to cry, it just looked way too sad and depressing.

"I was scared th-that I wasn't good enough…" Now it was Adrien's turn to widen his eyes. Really her, worthless, almost any girl would pounce at this opportunity, and yet here she was actually thinking about how he felt. It made his heart tinge a little.

"I thought I would only hold you back, or just be trouble as the Queen of a race I've never originated from." Marinette admitted looking down to her hands in shame.

"I'm just a boring, regular ole girl, Marinette. That's me, I'm just like everybody else. I-I I don't have anything special about me…" Marinette hugged herself as she looked away from the prince.

"I'm sure you are better off finding someone way better then me…" She spoke dejectedly.

"That's not true! At least I don't think so…" Adrien shouted. He couldn't take it anymore. Maybe it was because they were soulmates and that their bond ran deep between the two. Maybe it was the way she portrayed herself to be 'weak' and 'useless'. Adrien remembered when Alya had shown him the video recordings of what Marinette did, and what she did was extremely admirable of her. He felt content to know that she wasn't bias toward Akumas unlike the many humans who still fear the akumas. But he doesn't blame them, there are many Akumas out there believing that we should have just conquered the planet and have been done with it. But it's not what his mother would want of him and Adrien knew that. He didn't want that too, he wished to have peace among the humans. The two really are no different.

"You don't know that." Marinette muttered to herself.

"That's not true!"

"What makes you say that!?"

"I just know ok?"

"No I don't know, how could you possible fall in love with me? I' worthless!"

"Stop saying your life is worthless! It's not true!"

"I'm sure there's some kind of misunderstanding."

"No please lets just talk things through, I'm sure we can come to some sort of agreement?" Adrien pleaded. He just wanted her to stay. Her being here made him feel somewhat alive.

"I have to go, my friends are probably worried sick, and I'm pretty sure the school wants me back too." Mari explained.

"I'll come with-"

"No your Highness I'm sorry, but I must leave." And with that Marinette exits out of the cafeteria. Adrien takes a few steps forward before he stops himself.

" No… please don't leave…" Adrien whispered.

"Come back…" Adrien said weakly to no one. Tears ran down his face. He fell to the floor and wept. The emotions in him all poured out in his tears.

"UGH! FINE YOU CAN COME! GEEZ PLEASE STOP CRYING PLEASE! I'M BEGGING YOU YOUR HIGHNESS!" Marinettes shouts as she runs up to Adrien who was still on the floor in tears.

"You came back to me!" Adrien yelled estatically as he wrapped the young woman in a tight embrace.

"Your highness let go of me!" Marinette demanded. Adrien, being the naughty kitty he is, only tightened his grip onto her.

"I'll never let you go." He whispered into her ear seductively.

"A-Adrien…" Marinette moaned.

"OOOOOOO LOOKS LIKE HIS HIGHNESS IS GONNA GET SOME TONIGHT!" Alya squacked. She had filmed the whole thing.

"I'm so posting this at your wedding!" Alya squealed in delight.

"Your HIGHNESS GET YOUR HANDS OF-"

"You smell like pastries…" Adrien whispered again in her ear. Marinette was starting to get dizzy, her knees felt like jello. She hated what he was doing to him. What is happening to her life? Could things get even worse?!

Nino and Nath's POV

"We've been looking for her for hours now Nino! WHAT IF SHE GOT KIDNAPPED!?" Nathaniel yelled to Nino, fear evident in his eyes.

"I'm sure she's fine." Nino explained. You see the two were informed of Marinette. No one knows where her current whereabouts are.

"God you should have seen the state was in it was just pure gold!" Nino chuckled at the memory of his teacher in a shocked trance. The class hadn't left yet due to the missing student, that being Marinette Dupain-Cheng.

"Get your Hands OFF ME!" A yell that sounded like Marinette was heard from the cafeteria doors.

"Omg Nino did you hear that?!" Nath yelled.

"Common we have a friend to save!" Nino charged right in.

"Please be ok please be ok please be ok." Nathaniel chanted.
