Chapter 11:
"You live here?!"
Kuwabara's mouth hung open as he stood in front of Adrien's house. No. It wasn't a house. It was a mansion! Adrien gave the carrot top a shy smile and laugh.
"Yeah."
Adrien couldn't help but laugh, as Kuwabara's jaw continued to stay open.
"You'll catch flies if you keep your mouth open." he chuckled.
Kuwabara's jaw snapped shut.
"Holy moly guacamole! That's flippin' awesome!" Kuwabara said with wide eyes.
Adrien laughed again.
"Let's go." he said as he rang the bell.
A camera popped out from the pillar that was part of the gate. Kuwabara jumped as the camera went from Adrien and then to him. He gulped. The eye reminded him of the flying eye ball that was at the start of the Gate of Betrayal back in the Four Saint Beast case.
"This is Kuwabara." Adrien said waving to the carrot top.
Kuwabara gulped before waving.
"Hi."
"Come in." came a dry female voice.
There was a click before the gate slowly opened up. Kuwabara followed close behind the blonde. Adrien found it so weird. The carrot top had faced down akumas and yet he was acting as if he was scared of his house.
Kuwabara felt a weird energy coming from the house. It wasn't bad but it wasn't good. It was something...empty. Something felt empty in the house. It made the house feel sad. He glanced at the blonde and wondered if he was happy. He seemed it however there was this undertone to him. Like he wore a mask. Although, he did as he was Chat Noir. But even as the cat hero there was some undertone of sadness.
The carrot top's thoughts were interrupted as he entered the mansion. His eyes widened again when he entered the grand entrance hall. There was a picture of a man and Adrien was at the top of the stair case. To the left the the two boys was a room that a woman stepped out of. She was pretty tall, but not as tall as Kuwabara. She had dark red hair pulled back into a small yet high bun. Her hair was so dark that it looked almost black depending on how the light hit it. Her blue eyes looked cold and emotionless. It gave Kuwabara the creeps. The glasses the eyes hid behind didn't help the look either. She wore a red turtleneck under a dark purple business suit and pants.
"My name is Nathalie Sancoeur. I am Adrien's guardian." she said with a nod.
"Nice to meet you madam." Kuwabara said with a nod.
He could tell the woman wasn't all bad. She seemed to have a feeling of truly caring for the blonde. However another energy caught his attention. It was at the top of the steps. His head snapped in the direction.
On the top of the staircase stood the man that was in the portrait with Adrien.
He was tall but still, not as tall as Kuwabara; but he was pretty close. His face held a cold yet serious look to it. Although the rough features didn't help soften the look. His grey blue eyes were hidden behind glasses, which seemed to hide his emotions. His white blonde hair was slicked back and made the man look professional. His tie was white with a red stripe going diagonally down it as it was tucked behind the button up white suit.
"Hello Kuwabara. My name is Gabriel Agreste. I am Adrien's father." the man said as he walked towards the carrot top.
Adrien grew tense. He didn't know why his father was home. He was rarely home. And when he was he rarely left his office. But here he was, coming out to meet Kuwabara.
"Nice to meet you Mr. Agreste." Kuwabara said as he took the hand that was outstretched to him.
Kuwabara felt something strange about this man. It wasn't bad but it wasn't good either. It felt like the rest of the house. It felt sad. Kuwabara let go of the hand and stood up straight. Mr. Agreste seemed to be eyeing the boy. Kuwabara felt a bit uncomfortable with the look but he could tell the man was very protective of his son.
"Father..." Adrien began before a look made him close his mouth.
"I've heard a lot about you." Mr. Agreste said.
Kuwabara blinked. He glanced over at Adrien who looked shocked. He didn't understand why the blonde would be shocked. If anything, the carrot top should be shocked!
"Nathalie is my eyes and ears. She keeps me updated with who my son hangs out with." he said, answering both boys' questions.
"You are from Japan, yet you speak French fairly well." Mr. Agreste said.
"Thank you sir." Kuwabara said.
He needed to be poliet. He could tell this man was very picky and if he messed this up there was no way he would be allowed in the house again. Maybe even not allowed to see the blonde again. Kuwabara felt a pang in his heart but tried to keep it hidden.
Mr. Agreste's eyes flickered an emotion but it was gone. He turned to his son.
"Try not to disturb me." he said before going to one of the rooms.
He went in and locked it behind him.
Both boy's released a breath they didn't even know they were holding. They both laughed for a moment.
"Why don't you go up stairs." Nathalie said.
Adrien nodded before he headed towards the staircase. Kuwabara was close behind him. He continued to be in awe as he climbed the steps and followed the blonde down a long hallway. Pictures of Adrien were everywhere. It seemed the man had an odd obsession with his son. It bored lined creepy in Kuwabara's mind.
However, once he entered Adrien's room he almost fainted. The room looked like a mini sized amusement park. Video games, a bike ramp, a climbing wall, a computer with a big screen as both a TV and computer screen. The carrot top wondered how the blonde's bed even fit, especially with a couch being in the middle of the room.
Kuwabara dropped his books and just stared. Adrien laughed at the reaction.
"Dude..."
"Yeah I know." Adrien said with a shy smile and laugh.
"This is amazing! Is that...!" Kuwabara said as his eyes landed on the game system.
He rushed over to it and found one particular game that had devoured his soul since he arrived.
"We have to play." Kuwabara said turning back to the blonde with a sparkle in his eyes.
Adrien laughed and shook his head.
"We need to study. Maybe afterwards." Adrien said with a smile.
Kuwabara seemed to be determined. The carrot got his books off the ground and was already sitting at the desk on the page he needed to study for. Adrien blinked in awe before laughing.
"Let's do this!" Kuwabara said with a serious look on his face.
Adrien smiled before sitting down next to the carrot top.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Scene Change~~~~~~~~~~~
Around lunch time, Adrien got a call from Nino.
"Dude, we're gonna go and eat where Alya's mom works. We're gonna eat there for free! She got it approved too!" Nino said.
Adrien was a bit surprised. Chloe's dad usually didn't let anyone eat at his hotel's restaurant cheap, let alone for free.
"How did she do that?" Adrien asked, as he leaned back in his chair.
Kuwabara was nibbling on his pencil. He was deep into his studies. It was amazing what the carrot top could do if he put his mind to it. He already remembered the dates. All he needed now was to memorize the names of the 'heavy hiters' of the Seven Year War and he would be ready for the test.
"I don't know but Alya called Marinette already. She's coming and so is Shuichi. I heard Kuwabara is with you though. He's invited too." Nino said.
He was a bit sad that he wasn't invited to study. It would have been fun. But he had already promised Alya they would spend the day together. However, once her mom texted her the good news, well that 'alone time' went out the window.
"That sounds great." Adrien said with a smile.
"Alright. Meet you guys there in fifteen minutes." Nino said before hanging up the phone.
Adrien let out a sigh before turning back to Kuwabara. It seemed Kuwabara didn't even notice the phone had gone off. Adrien laughed. This seemed to catch the carrot top's attention. His head snapped up and he looked at the blonde.
Adrien couldn't help the grin on his face.
"What?" Kuwabara asked, blinking at the blonde.
"Nothing you're just..." Adrien started before stopping himself.
He was about to say so cute. But it was true. The way Kuwabara turned to him with blinking eyes and his face relaxed. The carrot top's features were a bit rough around the edges but when he was relaxed they seemed to smooth out.
Kuwabara continued to blink at the blonde.
"Huh?"
"Nothing." Adrien said with a shy laugh as he rubbed the back of his neck.
There was a bit of an awkward silence. That is until both boys' stomachs growled. They both laughed at it. Kuwabara sat back in his chair and chuckled.
"Guess it's time fer a break."
"Yeah. Well Nino just called me." Adrien said as he put his phone away.
"And he said Alya's mother has invited us to the restaurant she works for. And it's for free."
Kuwabara blinked again until a grin crossed his face.
"That sounds good to me." he said.
Adrien smiled back. He stood up and stretched. Kuwabara could see a bit of the blonde's stomach as the shirt lifted up as he stretched. Kuwabara blushed before standing up. Adrien stopped his stretch and looked at Kuwabara.
"I gotta go to the bathroom..." he said.
Mentally he kicked himself. If the blonde saw him 'staring' at his stomach before the carrot top said he had to go to the bathroom...well it would look perverted that was for sure. But he really did have to go to the bathroom. He had been holding it in for the last hour. He was on a roll and didn't want to interrupt himself, even to go to the bathroom. Still...it would have looked 'bad'.
"Sure." Adrien said as he lowered his hands, making the shirt go back down.
"It's right there." the blonde said pointing to a door.
Kuwabara blinked at it before looking back at the blonde.
"I thought that was a closet."
Adrien laughed as he shook his head.
"No that's my bathroom. That," Adrien said pointing to another door. "is the closet."
Kuwabara stood there for a moment before shaking his head.
"Man this is crazy. I have to share my bathroom both at home and at Marinette's house." Kuwabara said with a chuckle.
Adrien smiled.
"I guess being an only child has its perks." he said with a shrug.
Kuwabara snorted and nodded.
"I wish I was an only child..." he said before a chill went down his spine.
It was as if his sister heard him...
He shook his head before heading to the bathroom.
"Thanks. I'll be right out." Kuwabara said before going in.
Adrien smiled before he started to head out of his room. He needed to ask Nathalie if he and Kuwabara could go out to eat.
"No flippin' way! This is bigger than my room!"
Adrien laughed as he heard the carrot top through the closed door. He shook his head before leaving the room.
~~~~~~~~~~~Scene Change~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the two boys got to the hotel, the rest of the group was already there. Alya waved at the two boys.
"So did you make any progress?" Alya asked Kuwabara.
Kuwabara's eyes sparkled.
"All I gotta do is memorize the names and then I'll ace tomorrow's test!" Kuwabara said with a grin.
"That's better than me." Marinette groaned.
"I'm having trouble with the dates."
"You'll be fine. You are very smart." Kurama said with a smile.
Marinette blushed. Alya wiggled her eyebrows at her friend. However, Marinette couldn't even give her friend a glare at how embarrassed she felt.
"Yeah, Shuichi's a good teacher so you'll get it." Kuwabara said with a nod.
"Tho Rien here helped a lot." Kuwabara said with a grin to the blonde.
Adrien gave a shy laugh before rubbing the back of his neck.
"You are doing all the work." Adrien smiled.
Kuwabara laughed but still blushed a bit.
Alya and Nino didn't know what to think of that.
Nino was a bit uneasy. He had noticed how different his best friend acted around the carrot top. It was how Marinette acted around the blonde. Although toned down to a 3 out of 100. However, even Marinette had been acting strange. She wasn't as lovey dovey with the blonde. She seemed to become smitten with the redhead. Nino didn't understand how so much could change in such a short amount of time. He didn't know how to feel about it either.
Alya was just happy the bluenette was focused on someone other than the blonde. However, she was confused with how Adrien behaved. She never seen him act like this. It was a small reflection of how Marinette had acted after Adrien gave her that umbrella. She didn't know what to think, although if Adrien was gay then that would explain how he didn't notice Marinette's obvious interest in him.
Kurama got a bit stiff and couldn't help the look he gave the blonde. Adrien noticed but still didn't understand it. What did he do to get on the bad side of the redhead? However his thoughts were snapped back to reality.
"So let's go in before Mr. Bourgeois changes his mind." Alya said.
She could sense the tension. She hoped it wouldn't be like this during lunch.
The group followed the girl into the building.
"Oh Adrie-kins!"
Everyone grimaced, especially the blonde. However, he got tackle hugged by the blonde girl. Adrien was able to stay on his feet but felt uncomfortable.
"Hi Chloe."
"What are you doing here and with..." she said before looking at the carrot top.
She frowned.
She really didn't like him. Kuwabara had taken up almost all of her Adrie-kin's time. Sure, she really didn't hang out with him outside of school. Not anymore anyway. She had stopped once the blonde model started going to school. But that was besides the point. The carrot top had caught the attention of her Adrei-kins. Not to mention, it was in a way that made her feel uncomfortable.
"Him." she said with obvious distaste.
"Your dad invited us. Including him. So go away." Alya said with a 'shoo' movement with her hand.
Chloe scoffed.
"My daddy didn't know what he was inviting." she said.
Kuwabara raised an eyebrow at this. However slowly it clicked.
"Wait...yer dad owns this building? But I thought he was the mayor?" Kuwabara said a bit confused.
He learned in class about Chloe's dad had been the mayor of Paris for at least ten years or so.
"Yes. It's the best hotel in all of Paris after all." Chloe said with her nose in the air.
"Wow..." he said as he looked at the building.
"I didn't think that was legal or something. I mean, if Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't allowed to act while he was the mayor of Los Angeles then how is yer dad allowed to own a hotel? I mean, isn't he already gettin' money from the city?" Kuwabara asked with a serious look.
Chloe hesitated for a moment. She didn't know if that was true or not. However she shook her head.
"Well, it has to be legal! You're just jealous!" she said before storming off.
"Wow. I never seen anyone put Chloe in her place." Alya said with a wide grin.
"Is that true?" Marinette asked with wide eyes.
Kuwabara shrugged.
"I guess. I mean Arnold really couldn't act when he was mayor. So I figured owning a hotel would be illegal. I mean the guy is already gettin' money from the taxpayers. Why would he need more?"
Kuwabara always surprised the redhead. And most of the time it was a good thing.
"You are going to ace the test tomorrow for sure! You are very smart." Adrien said with a warm smile.
Kuwabara felt his face flush. No one called him smart before. He had always been told he was stupid. That he wouldn't be worth anything. That he wouldn't make a difference. That he wasn't important. Of course his family never said that. They always said he was special. However that can always be taken as either a good or bad thing. Though he knew it was good.
But they were family. They couldn't think bad of the carrot top. Even if they felt like it, they wouldn't say anything. They loved him too much to hurt his feelings. So hearing those words from someone that wasn't his family. Well, it was so nice to hear.
"Thanks." Kuwabara said as he scratched the back of his head.
Adrien smiled brightly up at the carrot top.
"Well..." Alya said, pulling the attention back to her. "Why don't we go in and eat?"
Everyone nodded before heading to the top floor where the restaurant was located.
~~~~~~~~~~Scene Change~~~~~~~~~~~
They all had a great time eating. However, once they were done they went their separate ways. Alya and Nino went back to their 'date' day. Marinette and Kurama headed back to the bakery. The bluenette suggested Kuwabara and Adrien join them, however the blonde turned the invitation down. He did look at Kuwabara and asked if the carrot top was going to go home. Kuwabara had seen it in those green eyes. He didn't want him to leave. So Kuwabara ended up going back with the blonde to his house.
Once the two boys were back in Adrien's room, they went back to studying. It was quiet, except for the occasional question or comparing notes. It wasn't until around four o'clock they both felt they had studied enough.
"So how 'bout that game." Kuwabara said turning a big grin to the blonde.
Adrien blinked at him for a moment. However, he remembered how Kuwabara noticed the game and game system.
"You just want to practice so you can beat Marinette." Adrien chuckled.
Kuwabara blinked at the blonde. That wasn't why he asked but it wasn't a bad idea.
"That's not a bad idea...but I just like playing against you." Kuwabara said with a grin.
Adrien blinked as a faint blush crossed his face.
"Really?"
"Yeah! I mean, Marinette wipes the floor with me, but you give me more of a challenge." Kuwabara with a grin.
Adrien blinked at the carrot top. He enjoyed playing against the blonde? Well, sure Kuwabara could easily beat the blonde. Although, Adrien was able to hold his own with the carrot top. He could see it being fun in that aspect.
"Well, I'm not really that good. I thought I was until I played against you and Marinette anyway. So, I doubt I'm really that much of a challenge." Adrien said as he rubbed the back of his neck.
It was Kuwabara's turn to blink. Chat Noir and Adrien may have been the same person, however they had some differences that set them apart. Chat Noir was the blonde's self confident side. While Adrien was his meek and shy side. Both were adorable and fascinating to the carrot top. He found both sides of the blonde adorable and attractive. Kuwabara blushed at the thought. He had it bad. He was falling hard for the same person. That was a good thing but a scary thing. It meant double the heartbreak if either one or both didn't like the carrot top back.
The red string of love told him that wasn't true. However, Kurama was right. It had failed the carrot top when it came to Yukina. That made Kuwabara's heart hurt. The thought of being wrong again, of falling for the blonde and not getting his feelings returned. Well, he didn't know if he could take it. Well, not so soon. If the heartbreak was maybe a couple years or so, he would be able to get over it easier.
However, it was too close to the rejection. It wasn't like he would commit suicide or something stupid like that. It wasn't the manly thing to do. No. He would just never try to love again. He wouldn't try to find his soulmate. He would forever be alone...and a virgin.
"Are you alright?"
Kuwabara snapped out of his thoughts and turned to the blonde. Those green eyes looked concerned and curious. Kuwabara blinked before forcing a smile on his lips. He let out an over exaggerated laugh, which caused the blonde to jump. He wasn't expecting that kind of reaction. However, being the type of person to know a fake smile and laugh; being able to do it himself. Well, he didn't like it.
"Just thinkin 'bout how much I'm gonna kick yer butt." Kuwabara said, his face changing into a real smile.
Adrien's heart thumped at the smile. That was the smile he loved to see on the carrot top's face.
Adrien froze. Love? What did that mean? Why would he think that? The only time he thought about that word was with his Lady. Only his Lady made him feel like thinking and saying that word. So why did he think it here? With Kuwabara? He shook his head. He was just infatuated with the carrot top. He found him interesting and a fun guy. But love? That couldn't be put in the same category, right?
"Adrien?"
The blonde jumped at his name. He was getting concerned brown eyes looking in his own confused green.
"I'll start setting up the game." Adrien said standing up and going to his TV.
Kuwabara watched the blonde go. He could tell something was wrong. However, he was debating if he should say something or leave it alone. However, the sound of the game starting stopped him from asking. Adrien came back with two controllers and handed one to Kuwabara. Their hands slightly touched causing both teens to freeze. There was a shock of electricity that went through them, making both of them blush. Kuwabara took the controller out of his hand and turned quickly to the screen.
"Let's do this." he said, as enthusiastically as he could.
However, it still felt a bit stiff. Adrien sat down, also looking at the screen. However after a couple of rounds, Adrien started to loosen up. Adrien felt he was able to relax and be his true self in front of the carrot top. He had even made a couple puns. However, instead of getting the roll of the eyes like his Lady, Kuwabara either snickered or flat out laughed. The blonde actually used it a couple times against the carrot top, distracting him long enough to get a hit or two on the carrot top's character. However, Kuwabara was still too good for the blonde as he still won. Although, Adrien was able to get a couple of wins off the carrot top.
They would have continued if Nathalie didn't come in and turn off the TV. Adrien was about to win too. Apparently they had played through dinner and it was almost eight.
Kuwabara didn't want to go but school was tomorrow. Not to mention that history test. He grimaced at the thought. However, he was pretty confident that he would do well. Not amazing but enough were he would pass it.
Adrien didn't want the carrot top to leave however, he was going to be a bit late meeting his Lady.
Kuwabara waved the blonde goodbye before leaving.
Adrien finished getting ready for 'bed' and turned off his light. Once he thought the coast was clear, he locked himself in the bathroom and transformed into Chat Noir. He headed out of the bathroom and started to head towards his meeting spot with his Lady. However, he noticed Kuwabara still walking.
Chat puckered his lips in thought. The carrot top probably shouldn't have been walking home. The cat felt a bit guilty for not offering to have his bodyguard drive him. He landed on a roof above the carrot top. It wouldn't have hurt to follow him and make sure he got home safely, right?
Chat opened up his baton, calling his Lady.
After the third beep, Ladybug's face appeared on the small space on the baton.
"Hey Chat. Is everything okay?"
Chat winced. She sounded worried. However, he pushed a smile on his lips.
"Yeah, I'm just going to be running a bit late. I purromise I won't be too long so wait for me my Lady." he said with a cheshire grin.
Ladybug let out a relieved sigh. She rarely got a call from her kitty. The only time he called would be if something was wrong. She nodded and smiled.
"I'll be here." she said.
He grinned before hanging up. He looked back and blinked. Kuwabara was almost out of sight. He extended his baton and continued to follow the carrot top from the rooftops.
Kuwabara could sense the cat following him and it made him happy. He had realized that it might not have been a good idea for him to walk home by himself, despite how close Marinette's house was to the blondes. However, he was a man and wouldn't asked for a ride or for Adrien to walk him home. He could handle himself.
However, with random akuma attacks going on. Not to mention, it was people who were getting mind controlled. Well, Kuwabara didn't want to be a 'victim'. He didn't even know 'how' those people got akumatized. Sure, he heard it was because of negative feelings. However, there were so many kinds of 'negative' feelings. Which ones would be better to turn into an akuma? The carrot top was more than sure more people felt negative feelings, especially in a huge city like Paris. So why were there not more victims? Or victims at least every day? Did this Hawkmoth guy have a limit? Was he only able to transform one person every couple days or once a week?
Kuwabara didn't want to find out any of those answers really. He didn't want to be taken control of either. He was used for evil before. Sensui tried to use the carrot top to carry out his plan. In the end, Kuwabara ended up doing exactly what the man wanted. Luckily, everything turned out alright. However, it still bothered the carrot top. He would never let himself be used for evil whether on purpose or by accident.
Never again.
A chill shot through his body, causing the carrot top to stop walking.
'Crap.' he thought.
It was the same feeling as all those other akuma attacks. It was close and it was dangerous. Sure, not as dangerous as Pyromancer but still powerful. His fear seemed to come true. Luckily, it wasn't him but unfortunately it was another tormented soul. He glanced back in the direction of Chat. The cat was still following him, however kept himself hidden pretty well. Kuwabara turned his attention towards where the akuma was located. He clenched his fists before running off in the direction.
Chat's eyes blinked as he saw the carrot top rush off. It wasn't in the direction of Marinette's house. He got a feeling in his gut. Something must have been up. He put his baton away and began to run on all fours across the rooftops, keeping up with the running carrot top. He was quick for a tall guy that was for sure.
Kuwabara stopped suddenly making the cat skid to a stop himself. He watched the carrot top take out his Spirit Sword. The cat blinked down at him.
"Good evening ladies and gents!"
Chat's eyes widened as he turned his focus to a man who stood in front of a radio station. He was tall with long brown hair in the back, but balding in the front. He wore a bodysuit that was black with wavy purple stripes all over the suit. It reminded the cat of something that looked like sound waves. His blue eyes were behind a black mask. In the guy's hand was a microphone.
"This is the cool cat known as Bad Vibration! I'm here bringing you tunes that will make you shake, rattle, and roll!" Bad Vibration said into the microphone.
Chat pulled his baton out and began to call his Lady.
"Chat?" Ladybug said, answering his call on the first ring.
"We have a problem my Lady." Chat said before glancing back towards the akuma.
"I'm on my way." Ladybug said before hanging up.
Chat smiled. She was going to track his location via the tracker in his baton. He was so happy they could always find each other with their weapons. He extended his baton and jumped down next to Kuwabara, who hadn't moved from his position; sword still out.
"Out for a stroll again?" Chat said landing next to the carrot top.
He already knew the answer to that question but couldn't let the carrot top know that.
"You could say that."
"We have a special guest!"
Both boys looked at the akuma.
"Joining us from outside the studio is that famous superhero, Chat Noir!" Bad Vibration said with a snicker.
Kuwabara gripped his sword tighter.
"Don't ferget bout me!" Kuwabara shouted before charging the guy.
Chat was right behind the carrot top.
Bad Vibration snickered before talking into the mic again.
"Looks like there's a special request!" Bad Vibration said before snapping his fingers and a CD appeared in his hand.
Bad Vibration popped open the portable CD player that was hooked up to his belt. He put his mic into a holster on his belt, before unhooking the CD player. He aimed it towards the boys who were rushing at him. He hit the play button, sending a vibration their way. The vibration shook everything as it went towards the two boys.
Kuwabara yelped as he was hit by the vibration first, getting sent back into Chat; who was right behind the carrot top. Kuwabara's Spirit Sword vanished as he tumbled backwards with the cat. Kuwabara's back hit a car, causing him to yelp in pain. Chat had somehow ended up in front of the carrot and rolled into Kuwabara. Kuwabara hissed as his head hit the car from the force of the cat hitting his body.
Chat's eyes widened as he looked up at Kuwabara from his spot, which was now laying across Kuwabara's lap.
"Kuwabara!" he shouted before scooting off the carrot top.
"Are you okay?!"
"I've...taken worse." Kuwabara grunted out before standing up.
Chat stood up as well, his eyes wide. Kuwabara shouldn't have been able to stand up after a hit like that.
"Look out!" Kuwabara shouted before grabbing Chat by his collar.
The carrot top tossed the cat out of the way of another vibration. However, the carrot top wasn't able to move in time and took the hit. He got slammed back into the car.
"NO!" Chat screamed as he watched the carrot top cough out blood mixed with spit.
"Now we're even." Kuwabara grunted as he looked at the cat with a grimace like smile.
He winced as he pushed himself away from the car. His body had made an indent in the car. The carrot top wobbled on his feet for a moment before taking out his Spirit Sword again.
Chat was in awe at how much damage the carrot top's body could take. He snapped out of his stupor and growled. He turned his glare towards the akuma.
"I got a tune fer ya!" Kuwabara growled out before rushing at the akuma again.
Chat's eyes widened before he also headed towards the akuma.
Bad Vibration snickered.
"Sorry, I stopped taking requests." he said before quickly changing the CD to a slow dance.
The vibes hit Kuwabara but it caused the carrot top to run in slow motion. Chat had dodged the vibration and swung at the akuma. Bad Vibration dodged the attack and turned the CD towards the cat. Chat was in the air when the vibration hit him, making him look like he was hovering in slow motion, still in the air.
Kuwabara stumbled as he wasn't in slow motion anymore. He growled before rushing towards the akuma. He could sense and see the purple butterfly around the guy's face. Bad Vibration began to reach for Chat's ring. Kuwabara lunged at the guy and tackled him.
Kuwabara knocked the CD player out of the akuma's hand. It didn't break however it did stop the music. Chat fell but was able to land on his feet. He stared as Kuwabara was on top of the akuma, a smirk on his lips. However, it didn't stay long as Bad Vibration snapped his fingers, another CD in his hands.
Kuwabara's eyes widened before barely dodging it as he scooted off the akuma. He ran back to where Chat stood; the cat's eyes still wide. He turned around, sword out again.
"Got a plan?" Kuwabara asked as he watched the akuma stand up.
Chat snapped out of his stupor before shaking his head.
"That's my Lady's job." he said, holding his baton tightly as he also watched the akuma stand up.
"I called her so she should be here any minute..." Chat said before tackling Kuwabara away from a record thrown their way.
The record exploded behind them, making them both flinch. Chat was on top of Kuwabara when they fell. Kuwabara yelped at the pain in his back. Chat looked down at the man with worry filled eyes.
"Looks like we're not even." Kuwabara said, forcing a smile out.
He was trying to dispel that worry that filled the cat's green eyes. Chat frowned. He couldn't understand this guy.
They both heard a growl and turned to see Bad Vibration was starting to get mad.
'Where are you my Lady.' Chat thought as he continued to hover of Kuwabara's body; this time trying to protect the carrot top.
Kuwabara gave his own growl before trying to stand up. However Chat pushed him back down. Kuwabara's eyes widened. He didn't realize how strong the cat was.
"I'll take care of this." he said with a wink down at the carrot top.
Kuwabara slightly blushed at this. However he growled and tried to get up again.
"Stay down." Chat said, this time with a serious voice.
Kuwabara could tell that the cat was serious. However, he wasn't the type of guy to just lay down on the job!
"I'm fine!" Kuwabara growled.
"Just listen to reason for once!" Chat growled back.
However, the two were interrupted as another vibration was sent their way. Chat grabbed the carrot top and made the two of them roll out of the way. Again, the cat was on top when they ended up rolling behind another car.
Kuwabara was a bit dizzy from the roll and had not been ready for it. Chat scooted off the carrot top and looked out from behind the car. He looked around. The akuma was sending out vibes in every direction. He flinched. There was so much damage. It was a good thing it was night time or someone would get hurt.
Chat's ears twitched as he heard the carrot top move. He looked over and saw him sit up, a wince on his face.
"Just stay down...please?" Chat said, worry in his voice and eyes.
Kuwabara froze at the tone. He looked into those green eyes. He wanted to help. His back wasn't that bad. If it was anyone else, their back probably would have been broken. However, Kuwabara's high spirit energy helped him take hits. Not to mention all the times he had fought Yusuke and got his ass wiped by the raven haired teen. That helped his body be able to take punishment.
"I can't let ya fight that guy alone." Kuwabara said with his own serious look.
"Why are you so stubborn." Chat sighed.
"That's the kinda guy I am." Kuwabara said with a determined look.
Chat didn't know why, but it sent an electric spark go down his spine. That look was full of fire. It was a bit of a turn on...Chat blinked at the thought and blushed before looking away.
"Well, you're a weird kind of guy." Chat said before poking his head back out.
Kuwabara couldn't help the smile that came to his lips. Chat was just too adorable. Kuwabara's eyes widened. He could sense the akuma from behind the car.
"And we're back!"
The car exploded and sent both boys backwards and landing on the ground. Kuwabara groaned as his back hurt as he laid there. Chat sat up and watched as Bad Vibration smirked and was holding another record in his hand.
"Here's a tune just for you!" Bad Vibration said before getting ready to throw the record.
Kuwabara sat up. The two boys stared with wide eyes.
'Where is my Lady?' Chat thought as he braced for the impact.
Kuwabara wasn't able to move, the injury to his back forcing him to stay down. He growled. They were screwed...
Next Chapter Preview:
"Yo, dudes."
Everyone turned to Nino. It looked like he got an idea.
"Why don't we dress up as some akumas! Ya know. Like you as Lady Wifi," he said pointing at Alya; she gave him a glare. "and I'll dress up as the Bubbler."
"But you were the Bubbler and I was Lady Wifi. We got akumaitzed remember?" Alya said with a glare.
"That makes it even better right?" Nino said with a grin.
"Okay, but then what would they be?" Alya said pointing at the rest of the group.
"Well..." Nino started before thinking about it.
"Well, Kuwabara could be Rogercop." Nino said pointing at the carrot top.
Kuwabara blinked at him. He didn't know who Rogercop was but it sounded cool.
"Kurama could be Guitar Villian." he said thinking the redhead would look good in purple.
"And Adrien could be Copy Cat and Marinette Anitbug."
Both the blonde and the bluenette froze.
See you all in the next chapter!
