Kitty Cat

Chapter 21

      I sighed for the umpteenth time, eyeing the pacing Cat. He's been thinking of names to fill in the Blank Nametag for the Waiting Lady, first, it's a mouthful and somehow reminds me of a horror movie, second it reminds me of the noble ladies that becomes aids to those of higher status, they're known as "Ladies in Waiting" and Third, It could be like a name for a serial killer for all we know..

"Just pick a name already.." I groaned out and he raised a clawed hand shushing me, I flapped my arms in disbelief.. 

"Its got to be perfect" I sighed, we've been at the same spot for the past 30 minutes with no sign of him deciding "How about.. Gorgeous" I groaned out a whine scratching my head

"No!" I shot down the proposal as quickly as it came

"I can call her what I want.." he reasoned and I groaned

"Sure you can, just not that.." I stated out of frustration

"Why?" I was almost sure there was a hiss mixed in there..

"Because, I'm not calling her that, and! I might answer to that!" I replied and he paused. Blinking, once, twice.. and Thrice before bursting out laughing "What?" I questioned but he didn't seem to hear me.. that, or he simply didn't care enough for that..

"You're funny" he snorted and I glared jokingly

"Never in my life had I been laughed at for describing my looks" I stated as I stared the black cat down who was quick to raise both hands in mock surrender.

"Fine, fine.. Not Gorgeous.. then how about I just tell you her name?" I looked at him as if he were dumb

"If Hawkmoth finds out about her, she'll be your kryptonite, and will be in constant danger.." I warned as I took out an arrow from my quiver, poking my finger with the tip of it. There had been some slight changes to my transformation, My mask and suit was no longer Plain white, but had Golden accents on the Neck, Knees and Forearms, as if trying to indicate where the gloves and boots begin and end, Before, my miraculous would blend into the neck of my suit, but now, it's become a Golden dream catcher brooch with 5 Golden Feathers dangling on the end of the swan necked collar. The Quiver no longer sat on my back under my cape, but instead it was strapped to my thigh with white leather and golden buckles, I never really had the chance to look at it as it was behind me, but it looked like a white Canister with a golden rim, The Arrows had a Golden glow and intricate designs along the shaft, My Bow had the coolest change yet.. It's a simple golden staff after transforming, but with a twist at the center, It becomes a Recurve Bow, Powerful and fast, as opposed to my previous Longbow. Villains would usually get time to dodge my arrows once they figured out my game plan, but not anymore with this in my hand, now the only thing missing is figuring out how to add more arrows into the quiver. Of course, not everything about my transformation changed, My Hair still remained silvery white, and My pupils along with my Sclera remained Crimson under the mask

"I got it! How about Princess?" I snorted at his proposal

"I wouldn't like that if I were her" I stated teasing him and he glared at me playfully

"Lucky you aren't her then.." I shrugged

"You never know" I joked shrugging as I eyed his reactions, bursting out laughing as he grimaced "Hey! I'm not that Bad!" I whined pushing at his forehead as he came close. He grinned, sitting beside me on the beam

"You're not. I just.. I've just been in love with her for so long.." my brows furrowed, licking my lips

"Wait.. aren't you like.. 14?" I questioned eyeing him. Sure he's tall.. but I don't think that's an age where you're experiencing real love.. Just saying..

"I'm about to turn 15 actually" he stated smugly and I rolled my eyes 

"Yes, because that makes such a difference" I stated sarcastically making him pout

"and here I thought I managed to break through your Attitude and Sarcasm" he joked making me snort

"It's a part of the Package Deal Kitten, deal with it" I teased, flicking his bell with a finger and he grinned "So, When's your Quinceañera?" I teased, since its a term that refers to a girl's transition from being a girl and into a woman. It was an effort to stir the topic away from "Princess"

"About 3 Months from now" I gawked at him

"From how you said you're about to turn 15, I would have though that it was next week" I gave him a judgmental look and he gave me a bored one in response 

"Remind me again why I'm friends with you" I shrugged

"I am an unwilling participant in this relationship.. whatever this is, this is entirely your fault" I teased, shrugging right as his eyes turned into slits. I awed "Aww, you really are a cat" I stated patting the sandy blond hair "What does that mean though?" I questioned staring straight into his eyes, he flinched his eyes dilating as he stepped away. Did I do something wrong?

"Nothing.. Oh! What about Little Lady" I gave him a look.. He sure has a thing with calling people Little. I get that he's tall but sheesh this guy.

"You call everyone that.." he pinched his chin deep in thought

"Nahh pretty sure I've only ever called her that" You called me that, you dumdum.. During the attack from Animan and even the Evillustrator.

"Your Choice.." I shrugged "So, what do you think about visiting the cheese stalls that give out free samples?" I questioned eyeing the bustling night market. He grinned unsure

"What would Ladybug think if she were to see us?"

"That we're friends wanting to sample free cheese? Come on, its not like we're stealing" I assured giving him a look to remind him of his Copycat from earlier and he rolled his eyes

"My Kwami would say yes, But I'll have to pass" I pouted, giving him the look. His eyes widened as he groaned, looking away trying to steel himself. I whimpered and he groaned smiling as if he was in pain.. "Fine but I'm pinching my nose every time I talk to you after" I grinned nodding as I jumped down from the beam where we sat. Little did I know that I'd get more than free cheese samples when we visited the Night Market.
