When the Cat Met the Wolf

11. Of WiFi & One Day

"I can't get close to her!" exclaimed Ladybug to Chat Noir. They had been fighting an akumatized girl that called herself Shadow Girl. Her powers consisted on creating shadows of monsters to protect herself, and she herself could become a shadow, so no one would see her "She vanishes too quickly!"

"How are we supposed to get her then?" questioned Chat Noir.

"I don't know" Ladybug shook her head, down heartened. She was sure that if Loup d'Argent was there, she would come up with a plan in no time. Yes, Ladybug was always the one with the plans, but Loup had some good of her own, too.

Then, they heard it.

A luring melody, which sounded beautiful, coming from one of the buildings. Chat Noir and Ladybug exchanged glances, before looking around.

"What is that?!" questioned Shadow Girl, covering her ears, but the melody kept playing in her head. While any other people that weren't akumatized were enjoying the song, it was torture for the akumatized villain.

"Where is that coming from?" questioned Chat Noir, as the shadows that the villain created vanished because of her lack of concentration.

"No idea!" replied Ladybug, looking around, too. They heard a chuckle, and standing behind them was Loup d'Argent.

"Missed me?" she questioned with a smile, before proceeding to play another set of notes. The enchanting melody did sound beautiful to Shadow Girl now, and it was slowly returning the girl to normal. Her outfit started to change into the clothes that she was wearing before being akumatized and, by the time she played the last note, the akuma came out of the necklace the girl had been wearing, and Ladybug de-evilized it. Then, she returned things to normal by playing the last set of notes.

"You never cease to amaze me" breathed out Chat Noir. Once she was done, she placed the violin in her case and approached the duo, who was looking at her mesmerized.

"Five days" she stated, showing them her right hand "I was gone for five days, and you couldn't even handle yourselves alone for five days? I seriously don't understand how you survive without me some times"

"We had it under control" replied Ladybug confidently, and her friend gave her an 'are-you-kidding-me?' look.

"Yeah, sure" she said, not believing her one bit.

With 'vacations' over, Arianne had to return to her usual thing: violin. Even though she had taken the violin to Barcelona with her, she hadn't touched it once during the whole trip, which was certainly an improvement for her. It gave her time to relax, and to finally finish her original songs.

She was currently in class, adding some final touches to 'Sunflowers'. She was sitting alone, since her friends weren't there: Marinette was probably late, as usual, and she had no idea what happened to Alya. She was humming the beat of the song in a low voice.

"Arianne, I hope that what you are writing has to do with literature" said her teacher, giving the girl a questionable glance, and all eyes stood on her, even Adrien and Nino's sitting on the desk in front of her.

"Uh..." started the girl, not really knowing what to say "Sorry" she closed the copybook, and focused back on class, as the teacher turned around.

"You really weren't writing anything related to literature, were you?" questioned Adrien in a low voice, turning to look at her with an amused glance.

"Of course not" replied the girl the same way "I don't care about Hamlet" they were currently reading Shakespeare, and Arianne found it extremely boring "I was writing some songs" Adrien's face lit up upon hearing those words.
