Heavy Heart | Miraculous Ladybug

Half And Half

While the guests were talking down below, Daiyu was getting ready. "Ready, Daiyu?" Chris asked wearing his finest suit.

"Yes." She replied.

Eric and Chaoxiang entered the room. "Ayiah! You look like you're getting married!" Eric exclaimed.

"You really need to shut up." Chaoxiang hissed.

"You two can go out and tell the others. Try to keep them in the mood." Daiyu ordered.

The two nodded and walked out the door leaving them in peace. Daiyu walked out on the balcony looking out in the distance. "Daiyu. Are you good? I need to talk to you, Daiyu." Chris asked as he walked out on the balcony.

"I was so happy when I met Eric. He was too easy to get jealous and I could show off when I was with him and he rewarded me for it. Chaoxiang too. He is dear to me, but not like Eric. Although Chris, where did my world start to fall apart? But it's no good anymore. They're leaving. Leaving me behind."

The door flung open and there stood a woman will a knife screaming at Daiyu. "GIVE BACK SUKI-SAN!"

Daiyu looked down in her hands seeing what she was talking about. She took the glass jar and then screamed. "IF YOU WANT IT THAT BADLY MY COUSIN DEAR, I'LL GIVE YOU THE STUPID THING!"

She threw it up in the air as it came down crashing on the ground. She kneeled to the ground throwing down the knife. "It's empty." Her voice quivered.

"Always has been." Daiyu was crying softly. Instantly she ran to pick up the knife to go finish her off, but something was off. She heard a gun shot.

"It's one of our members." Said Chris looking over the ledge.

She looked down tightening her grip on the handle of the blade. She threw it down and looked hard at her cousin. "Go down to go entertain the guests. I hope you die tonight!"

Her cousin ran off not wanting to stop for a moment. Daiyu picked up the blade holding it by her side with tears streaming down her face. "CAN YOU BLAME ME? THAT WAS MY COMMON SENSE! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THINGS I DON'T KNOW?!"

Chris looked at her hard as he walked over to her to hug her. "You can start learning the things you don't know or don't get right now. Let's change, Daiyu. So—"

"Too late. It's too late for you to say that. I don't want that lecture now." She growled as she pulled him closer with her left arm. Suddenly out of nowhere she stabbed him in the back with the blade she held in the right. "That 'kindness' of yours that only half-saves me or half-rejects me."

She jerked the knife out quickly as he stood there limp and unable to move. "THIS WHOLE TIME! SO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. PAY FOR IT! ATONE WITH YOUR DEATH!" She screamed as she walked away.

He started to walk forwards, but he ended up falling down. Blood poured from his wound, his heart beat was rapid and then darkness overtook him.

When Daiyu entered the main room many people were growing mad and angry. "Guys, this might end everything." Chaoxiang tried to tell them, but they just got more mad.

Daiyu walked up on the stage almost lifeless as she lightly shoved Chaoxiang away from the microphone. "Listen, nobody is turning back. We are going to fight and they are in this building. We're taking a sacrifice to claim what is ours finally. So why not fight for it?"

"WHAT IF WE DON'T?!" Yelled someone within the crowd.

"Then," her eyes narrowed and she pulled out the bloody knife that she stabbed Chris with. "You will end up like Chris."

"Daiyu..." Chaoxiang blood turned cold.

"You killed him?" Eric was shocked that she took the extra step to kill someone who was on their side.

"SO WHY NOT FIGHT FOR IT?! ALL OF YOU! FIGHT FOR IT!" She screamed in the microphone.

Marinette and Adrien watched her scream while tears fell from her face. The blood on the blade was fresh and it was dripping all over. "I cannot believe we got caught in this rat trap." Hissed Mari.

"Just get ready to fight. God, they are making it feel like daycare." Adrien shrugged it off.

"HOW?!"

"They are handing out guns from the stage. Imma get one."

"YOU'RE NOT ACTUALLY GOING TO FIGHT!"

Twenty minutes later everyone was armed and ready with warnings that at any moment they could attack. It was going to be a brawl with Jang Gok and Duong Ngo.

I cannot believe we are actually doing this.

Mari was nervous and sweating a lot about it. Adrien was chill about it acting like he had done that many times. "You scared?" He knocked her out of her thoughts.

"NO."

"Are you sure?"

"YES."

"You know that I will protect you."

"IT'S NOT ME THAT I'M WORRIED ABOUT. IT IS YOU." She let it slip.

He threw himself on the floor growing red. "Senpai you are a cheater. You're giving me a heart ache before this big rumble."

"NO. NO. NO. NOT NOT."

"Give me a kiss and it will be a half and half."

"What do you mean?"

"I might recover, I might not."

"UH."

"I'm waiting."

"FINE."

Ten minutes later everyone was growing tired until it finally happened. Jang Gok and Duong Ngo's groups fired on them. "SPLIT UP AND DON'T GET IN CLUMPS!" Ordered Chaoxiang.

"IS THIS A FAIR FIGHT?!" Yelled Felicity already wanting a cocktail.

"YES! JUST GO FELICITY!" Tang cried out at her friend who was too sober.
