It happened during the akuma battle when Chat Noir was trying to protect Marinette, without the knowledge that she was Ladybug and could well take care of herself.
The akuma was a 7 year old boy who had gotten angry and sad when told he couldn't play football (soccer) and was turned into 'The Pitcher'. He threw high speed balls at sports fields and gyms, not caring if there were people in/on them at the time.
Marinette had been running across the edge of a field trying to find cover to transform into the crime fighting superhero Ladybug, when 'The Pitcher' had took notice of her and decided she need to play a little field hockey. This was a big field hockey ball, it was double the size of a normal one but was still solid plastic and was heavy as hell. So when Marinette saw this coming to her, she panicked and stopped. She wasn't sure why she stopped but she couldn't get her legs to move. What surprised her even more was when Chat Noir jumped in front of her, taking the hit straight in the chest.
Hitting him in the chest, Chat gave a 'htmp' sound before falling to the ground, his right hand grabbing where the ball had the most impact. The Miraculous transformation absorbed most of the impact but some of it still effected Chat Noir.
"A knight must protect his princess," Chat Noir said with a strangled laughed as he looked up at Mari, who was now kneeling beside him.
"Oh you silly kitty," Marinette said moving some of the fallen hair out of his eyes, "Couldn't have you just pulled me out of the way, instead of getting yourself hurt? It would have had a better outcome."
Sitting up Chat Noir put a hand over Marinette's, "Its okay Princess, the miraculous absorbed most of the impact. It just stings a little, like running into the corner of a table." He put his back to a tree and saw that 'The Pitcher' had moved to a different target, metaphorically leaving Chat for the dead. "Ladybug will appear soon, I should get up but I need to rest for a little bit. Can you stay with me until LB comes?"
Marinette froze, it was either she revealed herself or she comes with a really good lie to get away from Chat. "I-I have to work at the bakery now, I can't stay," she lied, getting up off the ground.
"Theres an akuma attack happening," Chat said shaking his head, "I'm pretty sure they'll understand but if you need to go somewhere, go. You don't need to lie to me."
"I'm sorry Chat, but I have to go." Marinette waved to him before running off across the rest of the field and into the bakery. She quickly ran up to her room and transformed before hopping up and off her balcony, into the fight.
I wonder what Marinette had to do, Chat thought as he got up at the appearance of Ladybug. He extended his baton and joined the fight.
