A New Beginning [Miraculous Ladybug AU]

Chapter 2

This is from Marinette's/Ladybug's point of view.

"Ladybug?"

________________________________________________________________

"C-chat?" I stutter out. Bright, green eyes stare back at me, the same green eyes I learned to miss so dearly over the three years I was gone. My life in the states was anything but boring, especially with the bundles of orders and designs I had to complete, but I still missed the thrill of going out and kicking butt. After the last three years, I couldn't stand it any longer. Getting my diploma, I had to go back to Paris, my true home.

Back to the present, I take in all of Chat Noir. He's definitely grown taller and more muscly over the years. As if he could read my mind, Chat grabs my hand and kisses it. "You still look pawsitively beautiful as ever, Bug-a-boo," he smirks. I roll my eyes and pull my hand away, causing him to momentarily lose balance. Yep, still the same old, immature Chat. "Ladybug, stop denying your love for me. You know you can't resist this Cattitude," Chat starts, but his voice breaks in the end. I look up to see happy tears forming in the corners of his feline-like eyes. My own tears start to form in realization of this reunion. "I missed you, Ladybug." Chat sniffled as he hugged me. I hugged him back, about to say the same, when I heard an evil laugh.

"Muahahhaha, I am the Duplicant! Now no one will call me insignificant cause there's so many of me!" a voice boomed. "Are you serious? Me and m'lady haven't seen each other for years and you decide to oh so conveniently show up now?" Chat growls as he twirls his baton, getting into a fighting stance. I hastily swipe the corners of my eyes, readying my yoyo as well.

Duplicant raises his hands, as duplicates of himself start appearing all around us. "Just great," Chat Noir mutters as he lengthen's his stick and twirls it around us, effectively knocking out the first line of duplicates. Acting fast I somersault nearer to one duplicate and wrap my yoyo around him, swinging him around and knocking out the second line of duplicates. However, Duplicant summoned duplicates faster than we could knock them out. We were starting to get tired. Three years without Hawkmoth and any fighting might have contributed to that.

"Lucky charm!" I exclaimed! A flashlight fell onto my hand. "A torch?" I fought away the duplicates as I try to realize what the flashlight was for. I turned on the flashlight and shone it at every single Duplicant. In the end one flinched, so he had to be the real one. "Chat noir! He's the one!" And in a split second I wrapped Chat up in my yoyo and swung him toward the villain. "Woah!" Chat was shocked, but he quickly recovered and used his staff to hit him in the temple, knocking him out. One by one, the duplicates started to dissapear as the man before us, Duplicant, started to shrink into a small totem. It had hieroglyphics engraved onto the sides, with a small spider like figure carved onto the top of the totem. "Where's the akuma?" Chat asked. I shrugged. With Hawkmoth gone, akumas ceased to exist. However, this totem proved to us that it wasn't happily ever after.

"Miraculous Ladybug!" I threw up the flashlight as it exploded into a million flying ladybugs, fixing all the damage we did whilst fighting.

"Pound it!" We both cried, and I smiled. How i missed saying that "M'Lady, what is that thing?" Chat exclaimed as he stared at the small totem I held in my hands. "I don't know, but I'd better take it to Master Fu. He'll know what to do about it," i replied. Chat looked puzzled, "Master who now?" he asked, "Master Fu, he should know what this is. Better get going, Bug Ou-" Before I could swing back home, Chat called out, "No! Ladybug, wait." I stopped and I looked back at him. "A reunion after three years and you're gonna bug out that fast?" He smirks as I roll my eyes but rush to him anyways.

He tackles me in a hug. "I missed you, love of my life," he murmurs and I widen my eyes. "Woah, kitty kitty, lets not jump into conclusions shall we?" I say as I push him back. He's staring at me, and somehow I stare back. It's a staring contest as we both stare at each other. His green tinted eyes has grown on me over the years we fought together, but I saw something else in them. There was a spark of something, that made the eyes look a lot like Adr--

BEEP BEEP! Both our Miraculouses beeped simultaneously. I sent an apologetic look and got ready to swing out. However, my body had a mind of its own and scuttled closer to Chat, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek. "Can't wait to meet you and your Cattitude again, Chat Noir," I tease as I hook my yoyo up and swing out.
