As the rain continued to heavily pour outside her Home Marinette snuggled further into her bed with a smile on her face
A warm sense of heat made her spine tingle and that wasn't just because of the warm sense of her sheets
It may or may not have to do with the two strong pair of arms that wrapped around her torso that held her tightly and protectively with security
Truly she always felt the safest when Luka was holding her. Even now. Even if he was drooling on her pillow
She didn't mind. She found it cute anyway's
But it didn't last for long because in the midst of her warm sense and tingly feeling the sound of her phone buzzing and going off on her table beside her shook her awake as it had also made Luka groan
"Uhhh….shut it off"
Rolling her eyes and smirking Marinette scooted off the bed and reached for her phone immediately surprised to see it was Adrien on the other end especially at this time of night
Answering the phone and putting it to her ear the sound of the rain outside had drowned her out as she scrunched her sleeping bed hair
"Adrien ? It's 11:00 at night ?"
On the other line of his phone Adrien clung to his Staff phone tightly as he continued to run as fast as he could from rooftop to rooftop
Marinette could barely make out what he was saying as the sound of heavy rain dropping from his Staff and the huffs and deep breaths he was taking only adding on to his confusion on where he was
"Adrien….are you outside ?" she asked but he was to focused on a different pressing matter
"MARINETTE ! YOU AND LUKA NEED TO GET THE TOUT AÉRIEN AIRPORT RIGHT NOW !" he yelled through the heavy and pouring rain as he continued to move in a fast haste
Marinette raised an eyebrow as now Luka's attention was caught in a mix
"Is that Adrien ?" he groaned but Marinette just put a finger him signaling him to shhhh
"Adrien it's 11:00 at night in the middle of a rain storm. I promise you there's not Akuma attack, Even Monarch needs to sleep-"
"IT'S NOT MONARCH !" Adrien shouted with gritted teeth as he took a giant leap from building to building
"IT'S KAGAMI !" Adrien cried
"SHE'S LEAVING PARIS RIGHT NOW !"
Immediately Marinette's eyes shot up before looking at Luka's somewhat awake reaction
Clenching her phone tightly Marinette spoke
"We're on our way" she said and soon enough a flash of pink and light blue erupted from the inside of Marinette's room as Ladybug and Viperion casted off into the night

Dear Adrien i'm sorry I had to do it this way But I knew if I tried in person I would never be able to get the words out
I'm leaving Paris, For good. I'm moving back to Japan and I'm leaving this life behind. With that I'm also leaving Ryuko behind as well. I already said my goodbyes to Longg and I left my Miraculous on your table. Please apologize to Marinette on my behalf. And tell her I thank and appreciate everything she's done for me. Being Ryuko was the second best part of my life
I will never forget about any of you all. Even Chloe
Tell Luka that he's the greatest friend anyone could ever have. How he's the glue, heart and soul of our team. How he cares and protects us and how Im thankful that he is always there for us no matter what
Tell Alya that she is the most noble and fearless person I've ever met. How she isn't scared of anything. How she isn't scared to speak her mind and stand up for what's right. And how no matter what Monarch gives out she still fights to the very end
Tell Nino that he never fails to make me laugh. How he is the most lighthearted goofball ever. He's the joy the team needs in the darkest moments. And he is easily lovable and that Alya is a lucky person to have him.
Tell Chloe that she's not a bad person. Deep down she's an amazing woman. One that is trying her hardest to atone for her past mistakes and that she should keep going no matter what life throws at her. She's the Team's Spirit and even though I'll never admit this to her face she's the key to so many of our victories
And Tell Marinette…..
Tell Marinette I thank her for everything she's done
For me, For Paris, For the World
Tell her she's this world's greatest hero
When you find this and you're reading this I know you're gonna be disappointed I ended things like this and trust me when I say Adrien I wish I didn't. But I had too. I'm deeply sorry. Really I am
Just know that I will always love you Adrien. And that you are deer to my heart forever
Love Kagami
Unclenching his fist Adrien continued to sprint as fast as he could through the pouring rain. Puddles and drops hit him like he was taking a high pressured shower
His hair was damp and wet and the leather of his suit didn't make the situation any better
But as he continued to pounce from rooftop to rooftop to the pouring rain running faster than he ever had before he only had one thought on his mind
All he wanted and hoped for. Was if he was too late
What if he made it to the airport and she was already leaving ? What if he made it there and she was already in the air ? or worse she was already gone
That rapid thoughts only made him move faster as when he took a leap he landed on all fours and raced like a cat pouncing into the night
'I'm gonna make" he thought
'I have to make it'

Holding her umbrella tightly Kagami looked up at the bright full moonlight
She had a face of guilt displayed upon her face as she stood outside of the private hanger
This was happening. This was her life
She was leaving a part of her she had found. A part of her she had fallen in love with. Longg, Ryuko. Team Miraculous. Their war against Monarch. All of it she was leaving behind like it was a lost memory
"But Mother !"
"NO BUTS KAGAMI ! THIS IS HAPPENING ! WEATHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT !"
Moving through the series of handymen and moving men, Kagami watched in sadness as they continuously took her home down. Packing and shipping away all the memories she's made in this place ever since she started school at Françoise Dupont 3 years ago
As she continued to follow her Mother through the house Kagami's eyes went wide as immediately she jousted and grabbed a photo that was about to be crushed on top of a nearby table
Looking at the image closely she looked at the group photo Her, Adrien, Marinette, Luka, Chloe, Alya and Nino all took at their journey to New York
The sight almost made her cry as it was a realization of just what she was losing
She couldn't lose them
"I'm not going" Kagami said making Tomoe stop
"What did you say ?" Tomoe spoke and Kagami just gripped the picture tighter before looking up at her mother with tears in her eyes
"I SAID I'M NOT GOING !" she shouted now making everyone in the building stop
"I'M NOT GOING ! I'M NOT LEAVING PARIS ! I'M NOT GOING TO JAPAN ! I'M NOT LEAVING ADRIEN !"
"Oh Kagami" Tomoe groaned as she turned around to face her daughter
"Your acting like this over a boy-"
"HE'S NOT JUST A BOY ! HE'S MY SOULMATE ! MY LOVE ! HE'S THE SON OF YOUR BUSINESS PARTNER ! AND MOST IMPORTANTLY HE'S THE GREATEST THING THAT'S EVER HAPPENED TO ME !-"
Snatching the picture from within Kagami's hands the young girl came to a stop as Tomoe began to growl at Kagami as she raised the picture high
"This ! This Kagami is why we're leaving ! your too attached here, Too many things here make you weak-"
"Mother please" Kagami begged as she went to try and take the picture from her but was only jousted back by her Mother's wooden stick
"THESE…..FRIENDS ! ARE NOTHING BUT DISTRACTIONS ! DISTRACTIONS THAT WILL NO LONGER PLAGUE YOU !"
"MOTHER I BEG PLEASE DON'T-"
At the drop of a needle Tomoe had slammed the framed picture to the ground and stomped on it with her stick breaking the glass as a whole
Right when it happened Kagami felt a sharpness within her chest. One that immediately let the floodgates of tears flow from her face as she looked at the destruction of the photo that reminded her of the life she had
"Oh Kagami !" the woman said as she held her tablet in one hand
With a pure smile on her face she made her way to Kagami not prepared to step out of the hanger as she spoke to the young girl
"We're ready to leave darling. Asahi and your Mother are already in the jet so now we're just waiting for you"
Letting the raindrops hit her umbrella Kagami continued to look at the full moon's shine before taking in a deep breath
Once she did she turned around and began to head back within the hanger to the jet that was preparing to leave for Japan
That was until she heard a voice that made her perk up
"KAGAMI !...KAGAMI !"
Slowly turning around she saw a sight that genuinely made her feel joy for the first time in so long
Even within the heavy pouring rain. Even when it was 11:20 at night
Even when it was pitch dark out and they all snuck out their house's to be here
She saw her friends, her team, her family running towards her all waving to try and get her attention as Adrien was at the forefront of them all
It was a pure instinct how Kagami had dropped her umbrella and ran towards them herself
Peeking from out the jet Asahi and her Mother both glared as they saw Kagami run away from them and into Adrien's arms as she had practically leapt into his hold and crush her lips with his among the pouring rain that immediately took consume of her body making her hair and clothes wet to confine with him
Holding on to him for dear life Kagami didn't want to let go of him for anything that it was worth even when he placed her down and they parted giving Kagami the chance to look at everyone's smiling faces given the circumstance
"Wha…..what are you all doing here ?" Kagami asked but Marinette just smiled as she revealed the dragon Miraculous
"You really thought we would give up on you that easily ?" Marinette smirked as she attempted to give Kagami the miraculous back but sadly she just pushed it away and shook her head
"No Marinette I can't-"
"Uh yes you can and you will" Chloe stated as she was the only one with her arms crossed
"It's raining ! I'm wet ! and I woke up in the middle of the night for this so if you think i'm gonna let you hop on that jet just to get shipped off to Japan. You're more diluted than my mother"
Kagami just smiled
She wasn't lying when she said Chloe changed
Among the scene of friends 3 more guest had entered the moment Asahi, His Mother and Tomoe all under the protection of an umbrella only infuriating Chloe more as she stopped forth to face Kagami's Mother
"Im telling Daddy that you are enforcing a child to move countries against her will"
"I'm not enforcing anything. She's my daughter and I have legal custody of her. Now if you will move. Come Kagami we have a flight-"
"Mrs Tsurugi" Marinette began
"Please reconsider your option" the bluenette begged
Luka was quick to back up his girlfriend's voice as he stepped up as well
"Yeah, Kagami is happy here. Isn't that what a parent wants most for her daughter ?"
Under the safety of her umbrella Tomoe almost scoffed
"I'm doing this for Kagami, moving back to Japan is the best case scenario for everyone"
"For everyone ? or just for you ?" Alya growled a challenge Tomoe did not take lightly
"Alright Kagami enough of this come" she said as she attempted to reach out for her daughter but was stopped when Adrien pulled her back
"What's my Father gonna say about all this ? you think he's just gonna roll over and take this lightly ?" Adrien growled
"The business decisions between me and your Father are only concernable between me and your Father Adrien. I told him Months ago that this was a possibility and he agreed to it"
Right then and there Adrien's heart stopped as his eyes went wide
"...he…..agreed ?"
"Yes Adrien, He did. He knew all along about my intentions of taking Kagami to Japan"
Heartbroken not knowing what to say Adrien's grip on Kagami had loosen
Given the opportunity that was given Asahi had stepped forward and reached out to grab Kagami away pulling her away from her group of friends
"Honestly Kagami I don't know why you waste your time with these people anyway-"
"She's not going anywhere with you" Alya huffed but was stopped when Tomoe's stick was reached out infront of her stopping her dead in her tracks
"Your attempts have been abysmal at best children, You stand on private property within the pouring rain late at night. So I suggest you leave now before consequences will be taken to extreme force. You wouldn't want your Father to know about this now would you Adrien ?"
With a sullen look on his face Luka,Marinette,Nino,Alya and Chloe looked at Adrien in response to what their next action should be and all he did was close his eyes and sigh
"Can I please say goodbye" Adrien softly pleated
With a stern look on her face Tomoe spoke nothing of his request only bringing down her stick lallowing Kagami to pass by as immediately she rushed into Adrien's hands leaving him to waste no time as he wrapped his arms around her and held her tight
Looking into the purity of her eyes Adrien began to tear up as the rain around them began to pour heavier and soon he didn't know which was making his face the wettest
Placing his wet forehead to hers the blonde only shook his head in denial
"This can't be happening right now" he cryinly pleaded but Kagami just held him tighter
"I don't want to let you go"
Stroking the back of his heat Kagami let the water drops of his hair wrap around her fingers as she squeezed him
"I know…I don't want to lose you either"
Watching from the back the rest of the team had tears within their eyes as well even Chloe who continuously wiped them away blaming it on the rain instead
Deciding this was enough Marinette was the first to Join the two into a group hug
Next was Luka that followed
Then Alya and Nino lastly leaving Chloe before soon enough everyone crowded around Kagami painfully sad that there was a high chance they would never see her again
The group hug lasted so long that they were actually starting to dry off and Tomoe, Ashai and his mother only watched under their umbrella with scolded reactions before soon enough the inevitable had came and they broke apart
All looking at Kagami with tearful and crying expressions Kagami gave her best smile as she looked her family before her
"Promise me you'll keep Paris safe and will never stop fighting" she said glancing down at the Dragon Miraculous Marinette had in her hands
"Kagami please, just take it-" Marinette cried but Kagami just pushed the choker back into Marinette's hands and shook her head
"No, It needs to stay here in Paris. You need it to fight Monarch, besides I can't be in Japan and be Ruyko at the same time"
Displeased with her answer Marinette knew she couldn't convince Kagami otherwise so she caved and slipped the Miraculous back into her bag before Marinette and Kagami immediately acted into a final goodbye hug
Wiping the tears from her eyes Alya sniffled her nose before hugging Kagami
"We'll have the Kwami's make a video for you" she spoke only making Kagami smile
Next up was Luka who kept in his saden expression and only gave her a smile back before hugging her as well
"Take care of them Luka"
The rockstar chuckled and smiled before nodding his head
"Always"
Nino stepped up and immediately wrapped his hands around her him being the tightest one as he didn't want to let go
Kagami just patted his back and chuckled
"It'll be ok Nino"
The glasses wearing hero just cried and shook his head
"No it won't" he said before finishing his hug leaving only Chloe left
Looking away from Kagami the Japanese girl smirked
"What is Chloe Bourgeois to cool for goodbye's"
"No…..she just doesn't like them" Chloe spoke only making Kagami laugh as she was the one who conflicted the hug
Chloe found herself wrapping her arms around Kagami too as a small tear fell down her face before she squeezed harder releasing this was harder than she had expected
With Chloe being the last goodbye Tomoe had enough of this and pulled her daughter away from the group she shared such a deep connection with
"It's time to go Kagami you've said your goodbyes"
With pain in their hearts and tears in their eyes The now team of 6 watched as Kagami Tsurugi the 7th member of their team boarded the private plan
The rumble and sound of the jet starting hurt their hearts but nothing compared to the pain when they saw the plane take off into the air and all of them never took their eyes off the jet until it disappeared in the clouds and even then they stared into the sky just hoping this was some bad dream
Within the jet Asahi sat next to Kagami wrapping a towel around Kagami before bringing his hand around her to hold her in a attempt to warm her up but Kagami didn't care
She just continued to look out the window and touch the wet glass as she got one final look at the eiffel tower and her past life
