Chapter 7:

Ladybug had landed on the Eiffel tower. Her partner was already there. His face looked deep in thought. It made her a bit worried. He was so deep in thought that he didn't notice her approach him.

"Chat?"

He jumped and turned around, his claws out as if he was going to attack. However, seeing the worried look on his Lady's face he relaxed.

"Oh... my Lady. When did you get here?" he asked with a warm smile, looking a bit more relaxed.

"Just now. Are you alright?"

Chat's tail swished behind him.

"How can I not with my Lady here?" he said with a smirk, wiggling his eyebrows at her.

She rolled her eyes, however she wasn't going to let him avoid her question.

"Chat?" she said in a warning tone.

The tone made his ears lower on his head. His tail slowed its movements.

Ladybug could see it in his eyes. Something was bothering him. She moved forward, making the cat stiffen.

Ladybug noticed but continued until she stood in front of him. Their eyes locked. Her concerned blue looking at confused green. Ladybug's hand went up and cupped his face. His eyes widened, his body stiffening.

"Chat please tell me." She said in a comforting voice.

Her hand went to his head and scratched behind his left ear. Chat's eyes slowly closed and he leaned into her touch. He purred softly making Ladybug smile.

Chat's body felt so relaxed against her hand. She always knew how to make him feel better. A flash of Kuwabara's face crossed his mind. His big hands rubbing his ears just as soft and soothing like his Lady.

His eyes snapped open as he pulled away.

Ladybug's hand stayed in the air as her eyes widened.

"I-I'm sorry my Lady...I...I'm just..." he said turning away from her.

He couldn't tell her. How could he? How could he tell her he fantasized about the carrot top's hands on his ears? How he was falling in love with the cat lover and he wasn't sure if it was because Chat was a cat and Kuwabara was a cat lover. How could he admit his love for his Lady was changing. It was still love but he wasn't sure what kind of love.

His hands clenched at his sides, his body shaking. He didn't know what to say or do. He was so confused and frustrated that he felt like screaming.

"Chat..." her voice was so soft but his cat ears twitched at her voice.

They lowered more on his head.

"Ladybug I..."

Ladybug's eyes widened. He rarely used her full name.

"I don't know who I am anymore. I am just so confused." he said before turning back to her.

His green eyes were filled with so much emotion that it made her heart feel like it was tearing apart.

"Oh Chat..." she whispered before pulling him into a tight hug.

Chat gasped as his eyes widened. His body went stiff in her embrace. His tail, which had been slowly moving, stopped. She felt him tense and held him tighter.

"Oh Chat. You are my partner. You are my best friend. You are my silly little kitty. You mean so much to me. It hurts me so much to see you like this. Please...tell me what's wrong. I purromise I won't laugh or get up set." she said.

Her purring wasn't as good as Chat's but it made him snort a laugh.

"That was purrfectly pawful my Lady." he said, burying his face into her neck.

He took in a deep breath and let out a long breath as he nuzzled into her neck. He wanted to stay in her arms forever. He never wanted to move. However, the fact the only reason she held him like this was because she was worried. He had made his Lady worry about him and it made him feel guilty.

Ladybug could feel Chat tense up in her embrace. She was seriously worried. She pulled him closer and rubbed the back of his head. She felt him let out another sigh. She smiled as she could feel him begin to relax.

"Why don't you skip patrol tonight?"

Chat pulled away. He looked at Ladybug with wide eyes. She blinked at him before giving him a warm smile. She could tell he wouldn't have been able to focus in his condition. And if an akuma or something worse showed up, well he might get hurt. Inwardly, she grimaced at the thought of her kitty getting hurt.

"But my Lady..."

He felt so hurt.

"I can't leave you to patrol alone."

"I'll be fine." Ladybug said with a warm smile.

That smile made his heart hurt even more.

"But what if an akuma attacks or something worse..." Chat began.

He felt guilty. He had made his Lady worry. And what was worse was she felt like she couldn't trust him to help her patrol. Or rather that was what he thought she felt.

"If that happens I will call you. But right now, I think you should take a night off."

Chat felt even more guilty and hurt. She didn't seem to trust him; in his mind. She felt like he wouldn't be able to focus and would get in the way. That he would be a hindrance rather than helpful. His heart felt like it was getting ripped out of his chest. He resisted the urge to grab at his chest.

Ladybug's heart hurt at the look. She was going to pull him into another hug.

"If that's what my Lady wishes..." he said, backing away from her.

He took out his baton. Ladybug's eyes widened. She didn't understand why he was so upset. All she suggested was he take a night off...

"Chat..." she whispered.

However he had already jumped off the building heading off into the cool night sky.

~~~~~~~~~~~~Scene Change~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kuwabara had heard Kurama come back from talking to Yusuke. He knew it was the raven haired teen. Of course it was the raven haired teen. Just the thought of his 'so called' best friend made it harder for him to sleep. It wasn't the fact he demanded he come home. That bothered him, but not as much as one would think. It was the fact he used the Chapter Black case to try and convince him to come home.

Kuwabara let out a sigh before laying on his back. He looked up at the ceiling. He knew he wasn't going to be able to sleep. He was too pissed to even close his eyes. He had already tried. He would see those images. Those horrific scenes. All the death. All the screaming. All the corruption and pure evil from mankind. How could anyone be so cruel? How could anyone smile as they kill a mother in front of her child and vis versa? How could someone get enjoyment out of torturing a child and then eating their flesh? How could anyone want or get enjoyment out of watching another living creature be mutilated, tortured, humiliated and worse of all, being murdered?

Those images were what was burned into his mind. Those scenes invaded his dreams and sometimes his thoughts during the day. It had gotten better with time. However, what really helped was not to even mention the 'case'. But now that Yusuke had said it. Now that his best friend got that thought in his head...well, he knew it would be hard to sleep for at least a week.

Eikichi twitched next to him. The cat seemed to sense his master's uneasiness. Kuwabara smiled before kissing Eikichi's head. The cat seemed to relax and melt back into the bed. Kuwabara turned towards the couch. Kurama had been softly snoring for a while now. He was a deep sleeper. Kuwabara smirked at the memory of Yusuke putting Kurama's hand in a glass of warm water. Kurama was a pissed kitsune the next morning and Yusuke almost died for a third time.

Kuwabara's smirk disappeared. His best friend really hurt him this time. The last time he felt this hurt was when Yusuke didn't tell him, Kuwabara, that Genkai had died. The first time anyway; back in the Dark Tournament. His spiritual energy was acting weird and he didn't even sense her die because of it. He had to find out through the elder Toguro brother, Ani. Ani Toguro described how his little brother killed her. He told the carrot top how everyone else knew yet they didn't tell him. They didn't think he would care, that he wasn't close to the woman. They were wrong and the fact they thought he didn't care...well, it hurt him.

Kuwabara wasn't going to be able to sleep. He stood up. He tucked Eikichi under the covers, which the little cat snuggled into. Kuwabara gave a soft chuckle. He loved his cat so very much. He didn't know what he would have done without his precious little baby for an entire year. He gave his cat a kiss on his head before heading down stairs.

Kuwabara stepped out of the building and let out a sigh. It was just warm enough out where the white tank top he was wearing was just the right amount of clothing. His blue pajama pants hid the burn that was slowly healing; yet turning into a scar. Kuwabara put his hands in his pockets

He decided to take a small walk. He didn't know why but he felt like he needed to walk for a bit. Maybe his head would clear up if he walked around a bit? Maybe he wouldn't feel so much hate towards his best friend? Maybe those images won't invade his thoughts or dreams; when he finally did go to sleep. Maybe he felt like he needed to get away from everything and be by himself for a while.

Slowly, his thoughts shifted to a cat and a model. There was no denying the energy that came from both the superhero and the model. They were the same person. However, he didn't know what to think of either of them. It was obvious that Chat and Adrien loved Ladybug. However, Ladybug was Marinette. But Marinette seemed to have the same feelings. Although it was Marinette and Ladybug towards Adrien. In reality, the two loved each other and didn't know it. What made it worse was Kurama's feelings towards the bluenette.

Kuwabara grimaced. He felt bad for his redheaded friend. He didn't stand a chance. However, from how the superhero duo acted, it was as if they didn't know each other's identities. Nor the fact they liked each other. Or that's how it seemed to the carrot top.

So if they didn't know who the other hero was then how come they didn't share that information? He could understand to everyone else. That was to protect their loved ones. However, what about each other? Why keep it a secret from each other?

Kuwabara just couldn't understand that.

He continued to walk, not paying attention to where he was walking. It wasn't until the last second that he sensed someone in front of him. However, it was too late for him to stop as he bumped into the person.

"Hey watch it!"

"Sorry sir." Kuwabara said with an apologetic smile.

Kuwabara was able to get a good look at the man, as they were both standing below a street light.

The man looked to be a round the same age as himself, maybe a year younger. His face was oval shaped, yet looked a bit feminine. It reminded him a bit of Kurama's features. The man's skin was tan, complementing his shaggy reddish color hair. He was pretty tall, tho not as tall as Kuwabara. He was a couple inches shorter. Kuwabara was able to look into the man's brown eyes. Those brown eyes gave him the chills.

"You should be." the guy said.

However the guy's face slowly changed, making Kuwabara start to get a bad feeling.

"You're not from around here are you?" he asked, giving Kuwabara a quick look over.

Kuwabara was starting to feel a bit uncomfortable. He was starting to regret the walk, not to mention the fact he was still in his pajamas.

"Not really...sorry again for bumping you and all. Chow." Kuwabara said turning around.

However the guy grabbed his arm, making Kuwabara stiffen. A strong aura seemed to fill his senses. Unlike the other's he had sensed in France, this one was familiar. It was demonic. Although, only half demonic. A lot of demons were making their way into the human realm. They were sworn to not hurt any humans while visiting or they would catch hell from Koenma, who was the new ruler of the Underworld. However, this half demon's energy didn't feel friendly.

"I can show you around." he said as he continued to hold Kuwabara's arm.

Kuwabara pulled away and turned towards the guy.

"Thanks but no thanks. I should be heading back home anyway..." Kuwabara said about to turn around.

"I could walk you home. You know, it's a bit dangerous at night." his voice lowering, making Kuwabara shiver.

"I can take care of myself."

He wasn't a runner. He would never run from a fight. However, he could feel people's feelings and intentions. And this guy's aura was sending out a feeling that reminded the carrot top too much of the Black Chapter case...

"It wouldn't hurt to have company..." the guy said with a grin, although it was unsettling.

"I suggest you clean your ears. The man said no."

Both the guy and Kuwabara blinked before looking up. They saw two glowing green eyes peering down from above them. The figure jumped down from the top of the streetlight. The person landed between Kuwabara and the man. Both of Kuwabara's and the guy's eyes widened to see it was Chat Noir. He was holding his baton in his hands as he faced the man. He stood in a defensive pose as his narrow green eyes looked into the brown eyes of the creepoid.

"If anything, I'll walk him home. Only if he wants me to, of course." Chat said glancing back to look at the wide eyed carrot top.

Kuwabara blinked at him for a moment.

"Uh yeah that'd be cool."

Chat smiled before turning back to the guy. He gave him a once over. There was something off about him. It made the cat tighten his grip on the baton. The guy seemed a bit scared but there shouldn't have been a reason for him to be, right?

Chat's eyes narrowed.

"So why don't you go on your way." he said in a calm voice.

The man nodded before walking around the two. Chat's stance stiffened as he watched the man glance at the still blinking Kuwabara. Chat watched the guy walk away until he disappeared down one of the side streets. He let out a breath before putting his baton away.

"Thanks."

Chat blinked before turning to look up at a relieved Kuwabara. Chat's tail swished behind him as his ears twitched.

"Of course. But it seems you owe me one now." he said with a wink.

Kuwabara blinked at him for a moment before realizing what he meant. He chuckled.

"Last time I counted you owed me. So this makes us even." Kuwabara grinned.

Chat thought about it for a moment.

"Let's see..." Chat went through all the 'saves' between the two.

He looked up in thought as he counted each event on his fingers. One hand represented him while the other the carrot top. Kuwabara raised an eyebrow at this but snickered. It just looked too cute.

Chat got to three fingers on each hand before a smirk crossed his lips.

"Including this one it makes four," Chat said as he raised a fourth finger on his left clawed hand, " to three."

Chat held up his right to show three clawed fingers.

"Four from me and three from you. Tho I am a purrfessional. So I should have more." Chat laughed before giving the carrot top a wink.

Kuwabara blinked at the cat before doing his own 'counting'. After a few times of counting he realized the cat was right. He chuckled before scratching the back of his head.

"Guess we aren't even." he laughed.

Chat's heart felt better at hearing that laugh.

Chat had felt so hurt by his Lady. He didn't know what to do. He knew he didn't want to go home. The house felt so empty and cold. He wanted to not be there. It was one of the two reasons why he loved going on patrol. The other was to see his Lady, of course. But to be sent home so early...well he knew he would start to think things he shouldn't or wanted to think about. So that's when he decided to just take the long way home.

That was when his ears twitched at hearing the carrot top's voice. He saw the teen with that guy under that street light. He thought it was strange and landed silently above the two. He had watched them for a while before he knew it was time for him to cut in. It was a good thing the cat had gone the long way. Not to mention, be sent home early. This wasn't his usual route and with how that guy was eyeing the carrot top...well who knew what would have happened if he didn't come along.

Chat thought about it. He felt a little better at his Lady sending him home early. Although, he still felt hurt...

"Are you okay?"

Chat blinked before looking at those concern brown eyes. He felt a slight flush appear on his cheeks before he shook it off.

"Yes, why do you ask?"

"You look...I don't know...down in the dumps or something." Kuwabara said with a shrug.

Kuwabara knew something was eating at the cat. He couldn't put his finger on it, but whatever it was had been sending out such strong negative vibes. It worried the carrot top.

Chat blinked at the teen. Was he that obvious? Was that why his Lady had sent him home? His ears lowered as he looked down. Just the thought of worrying his Lady made him feel upset again. He jumped when he felt something touch his ears. His eyes widened as he looked up to see Kuwabara slightly blushing but rubbing one of his ears.

Chat blinked at the carrot top but felt himself starting to calm down. The hand was so comforting. It made his entire body start to relax. All thoughts started to leave his mind until it was clear of everything.

Kuwabara chuckled.

'He really is like a cat.' Kuwabara thought.

However he blinked when he began to hear Chat purring...

Kuwabara jumped with wide eyes. However this had caused Chat to jump. Chat got out his baton and was ready to fight. His ears perked up and his tail at attention. Kuwabara felt a bit guilty. He didn't mean to scare the cat. He just wasn't expecting him to...well purr.

"Sorry. When you purred well, it kinda surprised me is all." Kuwabara said with a shy smile and scratching the back of his head.

Chat had looked around. He didn't know why he had jumped. Not to mention take out his baton. He must have still been on edge. However, he should have been on the alert. He shouldn't have let himself get caught up in those hands...

He shook his head before giving Kuwabara his own shy smile before putting his baton away.

"No it's fine. My Lady acted the same way." he said, his smile turning warm at the memory.

It was after a fight he had with his father. It was rare when he would even see him, let alone fight with him. It was over Nino. His father didn't like Nino. He said he was a bad influence on the blonde. All Nino wanted to do was throw Adrien a birthday party. And just the idea had gotten his best friend banned from ever coming over again.

So when Adrien needed Nino to come over for a book report and his father said no. Well the blonde got pissed and locked himself in his bathroom. It was the only door in his house with a lock his dad couldn't unlock. The security system was good, too good. However, not good enough to open the blonde's bathroom door.

Adrien had transformed into Chat Noir and had gone to his meeting spot with Ladybug. However he was surprised that his Lady was there. She had gone to their meeting place early too. However, she noticed her kitty was upset. This was the first time she had ever rubbed his ears and it was when they both learned he could purr.

Chat shook his head of the memory. It was then he noticed what Kuwabara was wearing.

"So why are you out here so late and wearing..."

Chat flushed slightly as he was able to see how toned the carrot top's upper body was. Kuwabara snapped out of his shock before he flushed himself. He scratched the back of his head.

"Yeah, well I felt like a walk but I kinda forgot I was in my PJs." Kuwabara laughed.

Chat puckered his lips in thought. How could someone forget they were wearing pajamas? Especially if they decided to go for a walk? He was about to ask more about it.

"Well, I guess I should be heading home." Kuwabara said with a sideways grin.

He could tell the cat was going to ask and the carrot top didn't want to talk about it.

"Let's go then." Chat said with a smile.

Kuwabara blinked.

"Huh?"

Chat laughed.

"I'll walk you home." he said with a grin.

Kuwabara blinked at him again before shaking his head.

"You don't haveta do that. I mean you probably have stuff to do." he said before a thought came to his mind.

"Hey wait, why are you out so late?"

They had class early tomorrow morning or Kuwabara assumed. He wasn't sure because of the akuma attack that happened earlier. However, the cat should have been in bed. Especially since he had a long day already. Between fighting that akuma and Chinese class...which Kuwabara wasn't suppose to know about.

"I patrol at night with my Lady..." he said however he grimaced. "Well, usually I would. Tonight was an early night."

Kuwabara could tell there was something on the cat's mind.

"What made you want to take a walk this late?" Chat asked.

It was his chance to ask more about the carrot top taking a walk while still in his pajamas.

Kuwabara grimaced. He didn't want to think about his best friend. He let out a sigh.

"Just a bunch of stuff on my mind. I needed the fresh air to clear it." Kuwabara said before giving the cat a warm smile.

Chat's heart thumped as his tail flickered behind him. That damn smile. It seemed to do something to the cat. He shook his head before giving the carrot his own smile. He waved his hand in the direction towards Marinette's bakery. However he froze. He wasn't suppose to know the carrot top lived in that direction.

Kuwabara noticed the cat froze but was confused.

"What's up?"

"What do you mean?" Chat said a bit cautiously.

"You look kinda like you are nervous or something." Kuwabara asked.

Chat hesitated. He was usually good at hiding his true feelings. But that was when he was Adrien Agreste. It was always so hard when he was Chat Noir. He wore his emotions on his sleeves as the saying would say.

"I guess I'm just on edge." Chat said with a smile that was meant to reassure the carrot top.

Kuwabara furrowed his eyebrows. He knew that was true but not at the same time. However, he understood when not to push an issue.

"Let's go then." Kuwabara said with a grin.

Chat's tail wiggled a bit. He didn't know how happy those words could make him. Kuwabara's smile didn't help either. Kuwabara began to walk before Chat fell in stride with the tall teen. The two walked in silence. It wasn't too bad but it still felt a bit too quiet.

"So you patrol at night?" Kuwabara asked, giving Chat a glance.

Chat looked at Kuwabara and nodded.

"Not for too long. Even superheroes need sleep." Chat said with a grin.

Kuwabara chuckled.

"That's true."

The two went back to silence. They really didn't know what to say to each other. They didn't really know much about the other to know what to even talk about.

"So do you like it here?" Chat asked.

It was the only thing that came to his mind.

Kuwabara blinked before looking at the cat. The two were still walking. It seemed Kuwabara had walked pretty far.

"Yeah." Kuwabara said with a shrug. "Tho it's only been two weeks."

Chat thought about it. He didn't even know how long the carrot top and his friend Kurama were going to be staying.

"How long are you going to be here?"

Kuwabara chuckled. This cat was certainly curious. Chat raised an eyebrow. He didn't see that question as being funny.

"Sorry. You're just so much like a cat." Kuwabara said with a grin.

Chat gave the carrot top a confused look.

"How so?"

"Well, let's see..." Kuwabara said looking up in thought as they both continued to walk.

"Yer ears twitch when they hear something. Yer tail gets stiff when it's scared or pissed. Yer too curious, not to mention you purr when yer ears get rubbed..." Kuwabara listed, as he counted on his fingers.

"Okay I get it." Chat laughed.

Chat never realized it before. He wasn't sure if it was because of Plagg or if Plagg just enhanced his own traits. That he had always been cat like but couldn't show it because him being an Agreste. Now that he thought about it, he didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

Kuwabara could already tell what the cat was thinking.

"It's cool. I mean I've seen humanoid cats before but..." he started before his eyes widened.

Chat looked at Kuwabara with wide eyes, stopping in his tracks.

"What?"

Kuwabara got himself in a sticky situation that was for sure. Kurama would have scolded him if he knew how bad he messed up. He had to recover quickly. However, there was no way to recover from that.

"Oh look, there's the house!" Kuwabara said, a relieved sigh.

They had gotten to the cross walk that was by the bakery.

Chat pursed his lips together. However, before he could say anything the carrot top waved.

"Thanks fer walking me home. Nite!" he said before running over to the building.

Chat stood there. He didn't know what to think about that.

'What did he mean he's seen another humanoid cat?' he thought as he stared at the building.

'I need to ask Plagg about this.' he thought as he took out his baton and headed off to his house.

Kuwabara laid against the door and let out a sigh.

'Crap...I messed up big time.' he thought.

~~~~~~~~~~~Scene Change~~~~~~~~~

Once Chat got home he de-transformed into Adrien. He sat on his toilet, the seat closed of course; and put his hand in his hair. He just didn't understand. What did Kuwabara mean he'd seen humanoid cats before? Was there other miraculous? Were their other Chat Noir's out there? Other Ladybugs?

"Relax kid."

Adrien looked at his kwami who sat on his sink.

"What did he mean?" Adrien asked.

Plagg sighed. He didn't know what the carrot top meant. However, the cat kwami had been around for over 10,000 years. He had seen a lot of things. He knew a lot of things. One was that demons existed. Some of the former Miraculous holders had been demons or half demons. However, he thought there was a barrier to the demon realm. Didn't king Enma, along with some of the other gods, built one a few centuries ago?

"Plagg?"

Plagg looked at his chosen. He could see it in those green eyes. He wanted answers.

"It's kinda complicated."

"Complicated how?"

"Complicated like I would need a truck full of cheese to even explain it to you." Plagg said before yawning.

Adrien frowned. So there was something. However, he didn't understand what it could be.

"It's got nothing to do with the Miraculous, directly anyway. But it's something not important." Plagg said before floating up to Adrien's face.

"Seriously tho...I need cheese."

Adrien rolled his eyes but got one out of his pocket. Plagg grabbed it with a grin and began to eat it. Adrien let out a sigh before getting ready for bed. However, all he could think about was what the carrot top said.

'And I have to see him tomorrow in class. Luckily he doesn't know I'm Chat...' Adrien thought.

YYH Fact: Yusuke never put Kurama's hand in water...that I threw in there for some fun.

ML Fact: It is not proven if Chat can purr or not. This is mostly a 'fan made' thing. Also, Adrien never had a fight with his dad, where he went off and what not. Now, Mr. Agreste did have Nino banned from his house for wanting to throw Adrien a birthday party. So that is true. The other stuff isn't.

Next Chapter Preview:

"Why not?" Kurama asked.

"Cause he pissed me off." growled Kuwabara.

Chat's ears twitched. He didn't mean to eavesdrop. He just wanted to check in on the carrot top. However, he found himself unable to move. The conversation holding his attention.

Kurama let out a sigh. He pulled out his phone and began to dial a number.

"What are you doing?" Kuwabara asked, growing a bit stiff from his seat on his daybed.

"I'm calling Yusuke."

Kuwabara growled before standing up and going to the bathroom. Kurama watched his friend with wide green eyes.

"I'm takin' a shower." Kuwabara grumbled before locking the door behind him.

"So?"

Kurama blinked before looking at his phone. He had already finished dialing the raven haired teen's number. Kurama let out a sigh before going back to the couch.

"He doesn't want to talk to you."

Kurama could hear a frustrated growl on the other end.

"What did you say to him? It had to be more than telling him he needed to come home." Kurama said.

Chat went stiff at those words. His green eyes widening. Why would this Yusuke guy ask Kuwabara to go home? Was there trouble back home? Chat felt his chest tightened. However, he was snapped out of his thoughts.

See you all in the next chapter!
