When the Cat Met the Wolf

19. Of Hate & Love

Loup d'Argent jumped through the roofs of the houses of Paris as she followed Dark Cupid all around the city.

She finally reached him, just in time to see him aiming at Chloe.

"Stop, Kim!" she ordered, gaining his attention.

"I'm not Kim!" argued Dark Cupid "I'm Dark Cupid, I'll never stop! If I can't get love, then no one can!"

"Okay, Dark Cupid, I get it!" replied the hero "Your heart is broken. I know how you are feeling right now, because I feel it every day, but you don't have the right to take it out on all of Paris!"

"Oh, yes I do" he argued stubbornly "And I won't stop until everyone's heart is crushed! Send audios to your loved ones! From now on, you'll hate them!" Loup kicked the arrow that was thrown her way, and continued to avoid them, or block them. She couldn't play the violin with Dark Cupid following her everywhere, but she knew she couldn't avoid the arrows forever, either.

Using her bow as a shield, she ran through the roofs once more, wondering where her masked partners were. But, in doing so, she lost balance, and almost fell down, though she managed to hold onto one pipe with her hand, while praying that Dark Cupid wouldn't find her.

"Falling for me already, m'lady?" she heard a familiar voice underneath her, and looked down to see Chat Noir standing on his stick. She smiled upon seeing him as he helped her down "I need to talk to you" 

"It's gotta wait" she replied "Dark Cupid—"

"Shh" Chat Noir placed a finger on her lips, shushing her, and confusing her, too "I swore to myself that I would tell you as soon as I saw you" she still had no idea what was going on, and what Chat Noir wanted to tell her that was so important "Loup d'Argent, I-I love-look out!" he turned around, acting as a shield for her (for the second time) who opened her eyes wide as an arrow landed on his back.

"Chat Noir!" she cried. She knew what the arrow meant.

"Loup d'Argent... I loathe you!" replied Chat Noir, with hatred clear on his voice.

"Kitty, snap out of it!" she tried, but she knew it was of no use.

"You are nothing, Loup d'Argent and nothing to me. I hate you!" the girl stomped on his feet, and jumped off the stick. She hurried to the inside of the hotel where Chloe and Sabrina were hiding.

"Loup d'Argent, it's about time! Where have you been?" questioned Chloe, getting out from the table she had been hiding behind.

"You gotta get out of here!" ordered the hero "Your friend Kim's turned into Dark Cupid, and I don't know what he'll do if he finds you here"

"Moi?" questioned Chloe, as always "But why could he possibly have a vendetta against me?" the wolf girl groaned tiredly. It was always the same old song with that girl.

"Who doesn't?" she questioned in a low voice, and Chloe placed her hand around Loup's shoulder, as if they were old friends.

"Duh, it's because of this!" she gestured to and advertisement for perfume, and Adrien was the model.

Arianne didn't like the poses he made while advertising something, because it didn't look like him. She liked funny, genuine, Adrien, not the model the magazines made him out to be. It wasn't because he was a model that she fell in love with him, after all

"That's Adrien! A super-hot guy in my class, and rich, too! He's in love with me, of course!"

"Not according to the poem..."
