Chapter 4
Hours later Kagami guided the horses of the carriage while Adrien kept sitting next to her, but now holding the map from her following the new route they had to go.
" Ugh, I'm tired. I haven't slept very well last night"
"Maybe a cup of hot tea would have helped you sleep better?" Suggested the woman looking at the blonde sitting next to her.
"Yesterday it was strange, cause I had to think on what my father said about bringing back my mother. I have constantly thought on all the ways I and mother would reencounter each other"
"Sweet"
"I don't know, it is weird to think about that, but you don't know if it is going to work or not"
"That is going to work if Gabriel really follows the book's instructions"
"I hope it does"
"Of course it will don't worry about it" Assured Kagami with a smile.
Gabriel looked from the window over the two out at the road they were going, then rolled his eyes down at Kagami.
"Have you came across Kim and Chloe yet?" Questioned the tall man waiting for an answer.
"Not yet" Responded Kagami. „They either went the other way or they're already inside the woods"
"They're most likely to have gone the other way. It's a little longer than this road according to the map" Explained the blue-haired woman.
"If you want you two can get ready to attack their carriage and get the miraculouses," Gabriel announced sitting down next to Kagami to take the ropes to guide the two horses.
"Alright," Kagami agreed then took out her mask from her pants and put it over her head to cover her face.
"Uhm has anyone else got another mask for me?" Asked Adrien and Gabriel shook his head.
"Sorry son, but I think it won't be necessary since we're going to mess with other outlaws"
"Okay" Said Adrien getting up along with Kagami.
"So how's the plan?" Asked Adrien looking at Kagami.
"Well if you want you can fight Kim, he's probably the only one, you'll have to fight and I get into the inside if their Berline to get the miraculouses and after I got them, I give them to Gabriel and help you to stop them or I even do that before heading back to our ride"
"Okay, then my father will guide the carriage closer to them, right?"
"So that we're able to get back and he's able to defend himself from any harms of Kim or Chloe"
"They will fight us with a sword?" Asked the blonde glancing at Kagami a little worried.
"I think so, I will help you if you get in trouble" Offered Kagami earning a nod from the Frenchman.
"Alright" Responded Adrien smiling at the woman, then looked at the road together while Gabriel guided the horses a little slower to avoid to arrive at the crossroad near the forest first.
"I think I already have an idea to slow them down" Said Adrien with a smirk, then looked at Kagami and Gabriel.
"Good, just don't kill them" Added Kagami.
"Nah I won't take someone's life away just like that"
"You resemble your mother a lot" Gabriel complimented his son, which smiled a little at that thought.
"She said a lot, that a life is too valuable to erase it from existence"
"She taught you well," Said Kagami patting him on the back.
"Get ready you two, we're approaching the target." Announced Gabriel and Kagami climbed up at their carriage on the roof while Adrien stood next to Gabriel getting ready to jump off.
"Be careful son," Told Gabriel looking at Adrien, who had now the carriage of the outlaw couple in sight.
Gabriel whipped the horses with the guide leash to follows the Berline of the outlaws and stood right behind them, giving Kagami a chance to leap at the roof of the vehicle, then wagon jumped as he passed over a tree root of the ground, making her lose her equilibrium to fall down, but she managed to grab the iron of the carriage and held herself behind the Waggon with difficulty in coming up by herself.
"Oh oh," Said Adrien afterward he got on the roof of his father's carriage, then jumped on the other roof of the Berline and went on his knees holding his hand out to the Japanese woman.
"Come I help you up" Offered Adrien and Kagami grabbed Adrien's left hand and he pulled her up, followed by the vehicle hitting on another obstacle, causing Kagami to fly up at the roof after the jump landing on top of Adrien.
"Ouch!"
"Sorry" Apologized Kagami, then shrieked as she saw Kim, who guided his horses looked back and saw the two on his vehicle.
"Who invited you up here?" Asked Kim glaring at the two, then Kagami got up along with Adrien and took their swords up pointing towards the Asian man.
"Hands up" Demanded Adrien making Kim smirk, which took out from under his seat a sword, then held it towards the blonde and the masked person.
"En garde!" Shouted Adrien smacking his sword on Kim's and fought him from above the roof.
Kagami went on her knees on the side of the carriage and stretched her arm down trying to move the doorknob, but she couldn't reach it, because of the length of her arm. Kagami took her sword out, then broke the window with the end of the sword's grip, then grabbed the white curtain and used it as a protection to remove bigger shards of the glass.
"Hey, you're going to pay for that damage!" Announced someone in the inside, which was Chloe from the hotel, they were before.
"Sorry" Apologized Kagami looking upside down into the carriage, then disappeared, making Chloe raise her eyebrow and ran at the open window, then Kagami balanced herself from the top while holding herself on the porter, then she swung into the window throwing Chloe against the wall of the vehicle.
"Ouch!" Yelled Chloe as she hit her back on the wall.
"Excuse me" Apologized Kagami and found a black box, then she made her way to it to swipe it away from Chloe.
"Who allowed you to steal the miraculouses....No I mean....my jewelry"
"That's all I need," Kagami said opening the door, then looked up at Adrien fighting Kim.
Gabriel approached Kagami, then she jumped to Gabriel's seat and looked at Adrien fighting the raven-haired outlaw nearly falling off the vehicle.
"Mission accomplished" Announced the elder Agreste, distracting Adrien for a second, which got hit by Kim's foot and flew down on the other carriage and Kagami managed to grab the blonde under his arms, then pulled him up with the help of Gabriel.
"If we're quick, we can avert them in the forest" Proposed Gabriel helping his son up together with the woman.
"I've got a better idea," Said Adrien jumping back at Kim, shrieking him, who moved his sword up to defend himself from Adrien, but he smacked Kim's sword off his hand frightening the raven-haired criminal.
"What are you going to do?" Asked Kim scared, then Adrien cut the leashes with one hit off the vehicle and jumped back at the vehicle.
"Hey!" Yelled Kim angry, then shrieked as the horses entered into the forest and Kim crashed with the Berline against a tree, while the Agreste's managed to enter safely into the woods.
"Great job!" Complimented Gabriel giving his hand as congratulations to the two young outlaws, then the two youngsters did the same.
"That actually went very quick"
"Head down!" Shouted Kagami pulling him down to avoid him hitting his head on a tree, then they sat down next to Gabriel.
"Be careful, this could have ended badly for you Adrien," Gabriel said making Adrien smile as he dad had shown him, that he worries.
"Thank you"At the entrance of the woods, Kim helped Chloe out of the Berline, which was angry about the accident.
"Gabriel told us no one would get hurt!" Chloe shouted as she was out of the vehicle.
"You know that was his son, he doesn't know, that we and Gabriel are a team."
"It still wasn't necessary for him to do that to us. We weren't gonna hurt them anyway"
"Yeah but trust me, after we all tricked Adrien after obtaining that miraculous book, we all will get, what we have wanted before right?" Asked Kim placing her arm around the girlfriend. "You get to stay the prettiest girl in France while I get to be the strongest one" Explained Kim showing his muscle to Chloe.
"You're a real idiot"
"I know" Responded Kim sharing a kiss with Chloe.
