Miraculous Love ; Book 1 ; Split In Four

Chat Blanc

Marinette POV

I sat on my bed, trying to make sense of this situation.

"Tikki, can Chat Noir absorb akumas?" 

"As far as I know, the Chat Noirs have never been able to catch akumas, but I haven't seen them all."

"How is that so? Doesn't Ladybug always end up with Chat Noir as partners?" I asked.

"Well... This is the case most of the time, but sometime the Ladybug will die, or never get a holder during the era of the Chat Noir." she explained.

"But Tikki..." I started.

Tap tap tap

"Hide." I hissed.

"Wait! Mari! I kn..."

"Tell me after, now hide!"

Chat Noir POV

Marinette opened the trapdoor.

"Chat!" she cried giving me the same introduction as earlier tonight.

I took her arms off of me and looked at her. 

"We need to talk."

"O..okay." she said, a little hurt.

We sat down on her balcony's bench. 

I eyed her as she sat in silence.

Adrien was screaming inside my head trying to get me away from his sweetheart.

All it was doing was giving me a migraine.

"ughhh." I groaned rubbing my forehead.

"What's wrong Chat?" Mari asked.

"Nothing, just a headache." 

"Chat... Ladybug told me what you've been doing with the akumas."

Hmm. 'Ladybug' told her.'

What a liar.

I HATE liars.

Adrien kicked against the black bars holding him in.

"Did she now?" I asked sarcastically.

Marinette looked uneasy.

"I know." I said evilly.

"...kn..know what?" she stuttered.

I leaned in really close to her face.

"Bugaboo."

Marinette's eyes grew wide.

"I... I'm ... not .... uh. I'm not Ladybug." she tried.

Red hot fury raced through me.

"YES YOU ARE. STOP LYING!"

The akumas took advantage of my anger.

Adrien tried to stop me.

He was too weak.

Marinette scrambled back as black and purple energy ran around me.

Marinette POV

The first thing I saw out of the darkness were two yellow eyes, piercing the energy with their light.

"Chat Noir?" I whispered.

He grinned.

"I'm not Chat Noir, I'm Chat Blanc bugaboo."

"No. NO.. Tikki!" I dove into my room and jumped off the bed. 

Chat Blanc growled and lept after me. 

Tikki flew towards me and I caught her as I ran from Chat Blanc.

He was too fast.

With one pounce he tackled me. Breathing heavily we came face to face. 

"M'lady..." his hot breath hit my neck.

"Chat.." I replied trying to not think about things too closely.

"I need your miraculous..."

"I won't let you take them."

"You must, otherwise he'll make me destroy you."

He pondered momentarily, golden eyes looking down from my face.

"Tikki spots on!" I cried out reaching for my kwami.

"No!" Blanc growled hands wrapping around my uncovered stomach. 

Tikki absorbed into my earrings and I scrambled away from Chat Blanc half transformed.

I stood, in full costume and jumped through my trapdoor onto the roof. I didn't want him to hurt my family.

I watched him crawl out of my room and I lept off the building headed in the direction of Notre Dame. 

I ducked behind a pillar of stone and hid there. 

Dang, what do I do. What do I do. What do I do???

I turned around to see if I could see Chat. The area was clear, where did he go?

I turned back.

"Hey M'lady." 

I screamed in surprise at the sudden appearance of Chat in front of me. He grabbed my shoulders and kissed my forehead. 

"Chat," I said pushing his chest.

"M'lady..?" he said hurt, "Do you not want me?"

"Chat... I don't want Hawk Moth to do this, let me help you take out the akumas... then I will be with you."

"Don't you get it buginette? Now that Hawk Moth has given me strength, I have overcome Chat Noir's intentions. We can finally join together."

"Jjjj..join together.???!?!?!" I stuttered.

Did he mean what I thought he meant???!?!?

"Yes, you can finally be my girlfriend without the constant reminder that I might lose you." he said purring against me.

"Chat, you will never lose me." I said hugging him.

He was startled and began to hug me back when I took his face and kissed his black lipstick.

A single akuma fluttered out of his chest and I dove after it.  I caught it and purified it.

"Bye bye little butterfly." I said out of habit.

Chat Blanc growled and I turned around.

"You... you tricked me." he growled.

"Chat... I did it to help.."

"LIAR!" he said pouncing.

I screamed as he tackled me off Notre Dame, his claws digging into my side as his teeth started to tighten their hold on my neck.
