6.) Valentines Day
It's Valentine's Day today, the day of love.
"In most fairy tales, the prince breaks the spell by kissing the princess. Can anyone tell us why?" Bustier asks.
Rose quickly stands up, swooning. "Because only love can conquer hate!"
"Correct, Rose."
"Technically speaking, this reasoning is only exhibited in 87% of all fairy tales and–" Max starts but is cut off by Bustier.
"Thank you, Max. That's enough," Bustier says then takes notice of Adrien. "Adrien, I hope what you're writing has to do with my lesson."
I laugh. Ooh somebody's in trouble. "Heh."
"Can you tell me what I just said?" she asks.
"That's why in most fairy tales the prince breaks the spell by kissing the princess because only love can conquer hate," Adrien swoons.
The bell rings and we all get up.
"Very good Adrien, now everyone, don't forget to finish Sleeping Beauty by Charles Perrault tonight, and happy Valentine's day, students!" Bustier says before we leave.
Marinette continues to look over Adrien's shoulder as he continues to write his letter before Adrien crumples it up, stands up, and tosses the letter in the garbage can. I watch in amusement from my seat.
"Hi Adrien, sign here please," Chloe asks from outside. I don't listen to the rest of the conversation till she mentions Marinette. "Well well, Marinette, looking for something to eat?"
"Maybe she's looking for some better clothes!" Sabrina laughs before they run off.
"Ughhh!" Marinette complains.
I chuckle. "Well, Marinette, why are you digging in the trash can?" I ask, already knowing the answer.
"Wha?! Mirabelle!? I-I didn't know you were in here!" she fusses.
"Yeah, I figured," I say. "I'm really quiet, so most people don't realize I'm here. So, what's Adrien's letter say?"
"Your hair is black as night, your pretty bluebell eyes, I wonder who you are underneath that strong disguise. Every day we see each other and I hope that you'll be mine, together our love could be so true, please, will you be my Valentine?"
"Whoa, what a love poem!" I say and reach into the trash to grab another crumpled paper. "I see the cunning in your eyes. Your deceptive nature- you can't disguise. Your flames lap my skin. They burn me. It makes me wonder who you are under your disguise. Your eyes, bright and curious. The fire sparks and blurs. My torch for you will ever burn. How could I be in love with the wind, earth, or water when I have you, my Mistress of Fire. I just couldn't quit gazing at your flickering flames. You always will my soul inspire, forever be my one desire-- You're my first and last and only flame. All I ask, will you be mine, my Valentine?"
"Woah, now that's a love poem!" Marinette exclaims.
"Who knew Adrien was so poetic?" I laugh.
We leave the room, and Marinette walks off to Alya. I head to the empty locker room. I open my locker and set my books inside. Flamme floats up next to me.
"I'm pretty sure that letter is addressed to Kitsune," he says.
"I thought so too," I say. "I guess he isn't a one lady kinda guy since he made one for Ladybug too."
"Let's look at the other drafts he threw away and see if there's more to Ladybug or Kitsune," Flamme suggests.
I giggle. "That's not a bad idea." I close my locker and make my way back to the empty classroom. I shut the door behind me and lift the trashcan onto the teacher's desk. I pull one out and begin reading it. "Your tail tipped in snow, white and soft. It doesn't melt against the flame. Your fiery attitude pulls me in."
"Sounds like another for Kitsune."
"Yeah," I say, pulling out the rest to read and out of the final two, one was for Kitsune and the other I believe was for myself. That means there were four total letters before Marinette and I took one.
"Looks like a certain pussy cat has the hots for you, Mirabelle!" Flamme claims. "In two different ways even if you're the same person."
I chuckle as Flamme disappears in my bag. "How sweet!" I depart from the school and get in the car to drive me home.
"Did you have a good day at school, Mademoiselle Mirabelle?" my chauffeur and bodyguard, Richard, asks.
"Oh, it was lovely! I learned about lessons on love since today is Valentine's day!" I say happily.
"That's great," he says and the rest of the car ride home is silent.
After we get home, I go straight to my room and jump onto the bed. "I'm tired!" I complain.
"Well, maybe if you didn't stay up till one in the morning reading fanfiction or watching anime, you might be well rested," Flamme says.
"Naw, I did that before I became Kitsune and never was tired from it. This is from going out and physically being a superhero for once."
I hear a thump from outside my window on my balcony attached to my room. Flamme immediately hides, and I tense up. I quickly grab my nearby katana I got from comic con and walk over to the door, ready to slice whatever intruder there might be. A body moves in front of my vision and quickly discover it to be Chat Noir. I sigh in relief then tense up again. I hesitantly let him in with a gaped expression on my face.
"Hello, my lady," he says with a bow.
"Um... What are you doing here?!" I scream, threatening to smack him with my sword.
"Whoa! Whoa!" he shouts. "Calm down! Put the sword down, mademoiselle! I'm not gonna hurt you! I'm the superhero, Chat Noir!"
"I know who you are! Why are you here intruding on my property! You don't even know who I am," I shout.
"You caught my eye since I saved you before, and I wanted to visit you," he admits. "Of course I know who you are. It's not like your face isn't plastered all over the city."
"So you've been stalking me!" I fuss. "And you call yourself a superhero! More like a superstalker!"
"No, no! That's not it! I promise I'm not a stalker! I was checking to make sure you wouldn't be attacked by another akumatized person."
"Of course... I thought you only flirted with Ladybug. Aren't you a couple?"
He blushes. "N-no, we're not! Who said I was flirting?"
"You always flirt with a girl. You're known as the player superhero."
"Am I really?" he asks.
"Yep!" I say, popping the 'p.' I set my katana back where it was before and sit down.
"You have a cool room," he says, looking around. "Never really noticed last time I was here."
"Yeah, it is. I love it," I say. "Hey, I heard that there's a new superhero to your team."
"Yeah, Kitsune?"
"That's her name!" I say, mentally rolling my eyes. "What do you think about her?"
"She's great," he says dreamily.
"Do you have a crush on Kitsune?!" I fuss.
He blushes. "I might. I'm in a dilemma though. I have a crush on Kitsune and a girl in my class..."
"Y-you don't like Ladybug anymore?" I ask.
"To be honest, I don't think I ever really did. I was just awe struck by how awesome she was."
"Wow..." I say. "So, who's the girl in your class?"
He turns red again. "Can't say. I actually developed a crush on her when we were younger and hung out together a lot. Those feelings are springing back."
"Aww, that's so sweet," I say then notice all the letters on my desk. "Oh I got fan mail!" I rush over and pick one up.
"From who?"
"My fans, duh. Most of them are boys asking me to be their Valentine," I say and shrug. "Not like I'd say yes or anything. Most of them I don't even know."
He sighs and sits down on one of the couches. "What if I gave you a Valentine to ask you to be my Valentine?"
"I'd say yes," I admit.
"R-really!?"
"Yeah, I know you." I place the letter I picked up back on my desk after remembering I need to water my plants, so I walk out to the balcony to water them.
"Whatcha doing?" Chat asks, coming up behind me.
"Watering my plants," I say, grabbing the watering can to fill with water.
"Anything I can do to help?"
"I only have one watering can," I admit.
A loud stroke zooms overtop us, and we look up. We end up seeing Kim in a red and white outfit flying overhead, and Ladybug dragging behind him, holding onto to Kim with her yo-yo.
"What the heck?!" I shout.
Chat drags me back inside quickly, making me drop my watering can in the process. "Stay here. I don't want you getting hurt, my lady." He kisses the top of my hand before he quickly runs out to the balcony, closing the door behind him.
I feel my face flush.
"Ooh! Your face is pink!" Flamme points out.
"Sh-shut up..." I mumble. "Just transform me. Flamme, tricks out!" I hurriedly leave and leap after Ladybug and Chat Noir. I eventually catch up to Chat. "Miss me?"
"Always, my lady," Chat grins and winks at me.
"Who was that pretty girl you were with?" I ask. "Is she your girlfriend?"
"Y-you were watching me?" he asks surprised. "N-no! She's not!"
"I have been for 2 months. You and Ladybug."
"T-then you know who I am under the mask!?" he asks.
I giggle as I nod my head, leaping across another building with Chat. "You're quite handsome if you ask me."
He smirks. "Thanks f-for the compliment, mademoiselle. If I may ask, do I know who you are?"
"Probably not," I lie. "You wouldn't be interested in me."
"I doubt that."
We finally catch up to Ladybug who is standing on one building with Kim on the other. We hop up beside her.
"I'm not Kim, I'm Dark Cupid! I'll never stop! If I get no love, then no one can!"
"Okay, Dark Cupid, I get it. Chloe totally burned you, but that doesn't mean you have to take it out on all of Paris," Ladybug says.
"Oh yes, I do! I won't stop until everyone's heart is crushed. Say adios to all of your loved ones. From now on, you'll hate them!" Dark Cupid shouts and shoots an arrow towards us.
Ladybug destroys them with a spin of her yoyo. We all leap away and dodge the oncoming raid of arrows. Ladybug missteps and falls off the roof, but catches herself on a roof gutter with her yoyo. The roof gutter bends down. I disappear from Kim's view and go help Ladybug.
"Need some help?" I ask.
"Please?" Ladybug says, looking up at me.
I lift up her yo-yo and help pull her back onto the roof.
"Thanks," she sighs with relief.
"No problem," I say and see Kim about to shoot an arrow at us. "Watch out!" I shout and shove Ladybug out of the way. I end up getting hit with the arrow.
~Chat Noir's POV~
I watch as Kitsune gets hit with one of the arrows. "No! Kitsune!"
She begins laughing like a lunatic. "You guys call yourselves superheroes?! That makes me laugh. You're so pathetic!" She begins shooting fire at Ladybug and me, and we quickly backflip away from being attacked. We end up rolling into Le Grande Paris aka Chloe's father's hotel.
"Ladybug, Chat Noir, it's about time, where have you been?" Chloe complains.
"You gotta get out of here, your friend Kim has been akumatized into Dark Cupid, and I don't know what he'll do if he finds you," Ladybug says.
"Moi? How could he have a vendetta against me?" Chloe says confused.
With a hint of annoyance, Ladybug responds in murmur. "Who doesn't?"
"Duh! Because of this! Everyone wants to get their hands on it," Chloe says, pointing behind us at a picture of me from the cologne ad. "That's Adrien a super-hot guy in my class and rich too! He's hot for me of course."
I told her I didn't do signatures! "Really Chloe," I mutter, rolling my eyes in the process.
I hear Ladybug mumble something under her breath, but I didn't quite make it out. I'm brought back to the world once Sabrina screams.
"It's alive!" she shouts and points to the picture of me. It seems to waltz right into the hotel and behind it emerges Dark Cupid. Ladybug deflects an arrow with her yo-yo and wraps up Chloe before dragging her out onto the street. She flips her up and untwirls her.
"Run Chloe! Run!" Ladybug shouts and Chloe begins to run. Dark Cupid and Kitsune rush after us, and Ladybug follows Dark Cupid while I get cut off by Kitsune.
"Well well, kitty cat," Kitsune says. "We meet again."
"I don't want to fight you Kitsune," I say.
"Ugh the friendliness! It's so revolting, and you are definitely not my friend!" she shouts and begins shooting fireballs at me.
I jump up onto the roof to dodge, but she follows in close pursuit. I continue running and dodging her attacks as she continues chasing me.
"Why are you so full of hate Kitsune?"
"Because hate conquers all!" she shouts.
"I hate to burst your bubble but hate doesn't conquer all love does," I say and gasp, suddenly getting an idea. I have to wake up my princess with a kiss!
"You're just buying time! Fight!" she shouts and begins to throw fire at me.
"I'll do better than that."
"What?"
"Come on, little vixen, just a peck..." I say, walking up to her calmly. I try to kiss her but she hurriedly backs away. "Almost had ya!"
"G-get back, you... you s-savage!
"Here, adorable little vixen! Come here!" I demand. I leap onto her back and take her down to the ground with me. I quickly flip her over and pin her arms and legs to the ground. "Just one little peck and everything will be normal."
"No, no!" she fusses.
"Oh it can't be that bad to kiss me! Don't worry, it won't hurt." I lean down to kiss her but miss because she moves her head to the side. "Really? Stay still. This is hard enough as is to k-kiss you. I mean... I do l-like you..." She moves again and an arrow nearly hits me as I quickly separate myself from her. Ladybug appears and we hide behind some trees.
Kitsune leaps back next to Dark Cupid in front of the fountain.
"How you gonna fight both of us now, pussycat?" Kitsune taunts and fist bumps Dark Cupid.
"Anyday, Ladybug," I murmur nervously.
"Lucky Charm!" A candy apple appears. "A candy apple? What am I supposed to do with this? Think, Ladybug..." Her face lights up. "Hey! I've got a Valentine's gift for you!"
Kitsune and Dark Cupid get ready to attack Ladybug and I. Dark Cupid shoots arrows at her, but she deflects them with her yo-yo. Kitsune readies her attack on me, but I avoid it. As she passes me, I whip around to grab her tail. She yelps as I whip her behind me into the fountain.
"Sorry!" I call out.
"Chat Noir, I need a lift!" Ladybug shouts at me while running straight towards me. I weave my fingers together and bend down a little. She takes a running leap and puts one foot in my hands, and I sling her upwards. Ladybug throws the candy apple on Dark Cupid's head, and he removes it with his hand to discover it's really sticky and won't leave. "Looks like you got yourself in a sticky situation!"
"Hey, I'm the pun maker!" I complain.
Dark Cupid gets the candy apple out of his hand and tries to shoot an arrow at her, but his hand gets stuck in the bow. "Ladybug!!" he shouts annoyed.
I turn around to face Kitsune who's getting out of the water with a pissed off look on her face. "You got me wet! How dare you!" she shouts and leaps at me. I flip over her and onto the fountain top. She once again leaps at me, and I leap at her to make us tumble to the ground. She ends up on top of me holding me down in the position I had her in. She lifts her right arm up and a fire ball forms in her hand, ready to smash it in my face. A few drops of water from her hair splash onto my face.
"Kitsune, his Miraculous!" Dark Cupid yells, walking over and washing his hands off in the fountain.
I turn to look for Ladybug to see she's lying face down on the ground a few feet away from me. "Ladybug!"
"With pleasure!" Kitsune says and reaches for my ring.
I manage to free my arms and kiss her while rolling my way on top of her.
"No!" Dark Cupid yells.
The spell breaks and the black from Kitsune's lips disappear. "Huh? What am I doing here? Why am I wet? And w-why are you on top of me so close to my face?" she groans, quite bewildered.
~Kitsune's POV~
I see Ladybug get up a few feet away from the corner of my eye. "N-no time! The quiver pin, Chat Noir! Now! Grab it! Grab the pin!"
Chat gets up off me, offering me a hand. I take it, and he pulls me up. He powers up his cataclysm and grabs at the pin, shattering the strap to pieces. Then throws the pin to Ladybug.
"No!" Dark Cupid yells.
Ladybug purifies the akumatized butterfly and throws her Lucky Charm into the air so everything is restored.
"Huh?" Kim grunts, looking dazed.
"Pound it!" we all say and fist bump.
Ladybug's Miraculous beeps. "Oops! See you guys later."
She leaves, and Chat and I remain.
"I gotta ask you something. I need some answers," I say as I light my whole body on fire.
"Whoa! Kitsune!" Chat shouts sounding terrified.
I begin chuckling as I return back to normal except this time I was dry.
"I'm fine. Don't worry. I just wanted to dry off. Now, what happened?" I ask.
"You got hit by an arrow and became a villain, but don't worry I saved you."
"And how did you do that?" I ask.
I see his face gets hot, and he quickly turns away. "I had... tokissyou," he says so fast I didn't catch it.
"You had to what?" I ask.
"In most fairy tales, the prince has to break the spell by k-kissing the princess because the only thing that can conquer hate is l-love," Chat says.
I think about what he said for a moment before recognition flies across my face. "E-Eeeh!? You k-kissed me?!"
He chuckles nervously. "It w-was a thought that I thought might work so I tried it. I'm a hopeless r-romantic."
"I can tell."
His ring beeps down a toe. "Now, it's my turn to ask you something."
"It doesn't look like you have time. You're about to turn back," I say.
"That doesn't matter right now. Visit me tonight at 7 on the top of the Eiffel Tower," he says and turns away.
"Wait, why?!" I shout, but he's already gone. "I guess I'll find out later." I quickly hurry home and slump back in my desk chair. I transform back to my normal looking self.
"Chat Noir kissed you!" Flamme teases.
"It doesn't count if I don't remember it..." I pout.
"You know what you should do?" Flamme asks.
"What?"
"Respond to his poem with your own poem!" he squeals.
"You're a hopeless romantic too, huh?"
"Little bit."
I laugh. "Fine, I'll do it. I'll give it to him when we meet tonight."
"Sounds perfect," Flamme says.
After a while, it's finally time to meet up with Chat on top the Eiffel Tower. I transform and arrive before the clock hit seven. "Chat? You here?"
He suddenly appears in front of me with a surprised look. "You're here earlier than I said to come."
"Is that a bad thing?" I ask.
"No, no! I'm glad you did," he says. "Follow me. I have a nice little spread farther up."
"Spread? You brought food?"
"Of course. I wanted this to be a proper date."
"Date?"
He chuckles shyly. "Uh, yeah, didn't I tell you?"
"Nope, I can't recall that you did."
"Well, it's Valentine's Day, and I wanted to ask if you would be my Valentine, but you kinda got shot with an arrow before I could."
I smile. "I've never had a Valentine before."
"Well, my lady, that makes two of us," Chat says.
"You didn't want to ask that pretty girl you were talking to earlier?"
"I like you and her both," he admits. "I had a crush on her when we were younger, but we haven't seen each other for years until recently, so it faded. That crush is resurfacing. She doesn't know that I'm Chat Noir though, so it's kinda one-sided. She's been on my mind and so have you. My feelings are all jumbled up."
I smile and blush. "How is our relationship any different? We don't know each other besides like this. You know, I have two guys that have been on my mind too. You and a childhood crush. I guess we're kinda alike."
He laughs. "I guess so. May I ask for his name?"
"If I do that then you'll find out who I am," I tease. "Let's just go have that nice little dinner you've set up."
We leap up to the highest point possible and up ahead is a beautiful spread of food.
"I hope you like it."
"It's Miraculous," I say, sitting down. "Haha, get it?"
He chuckles and sits down beside me. "Of course I do... Hey, I'm supposed to be the one that makes puns."
"That's foxing ridiculous," I say. "You may have more purrfect cat puns than a fox does, but that doesn't foxing mean I won't stop."
He begins to laugh. "I think you just topped all my puns with the only fox pun in the world."
"Yeah, it's depressing there's not more," I admit.
"So, why the name Kitsune?"
"Do you know what kitsune means?" I ask.
"No clue, but I bet it's foxy," he says, wiggling his eyebrows.
I laugh more than I should have. "Yes, it's very foxy because it means fox in Japanese, but it's pronounced differently. It's pronounced kitt-soon-eh in Japanese. French it's kitt-soon-knee. English it's just kitt-soon. It's cool."
"I have to agree. Did you have anything else in mind for a name?"
"I was thinking Vixen or Rokon, but I liked Kitsune best. I love Japanese things," I admit.
"Can you speak Japanese?"
"Yeah, I've watched so much anime that I've caught on to it when watching subs when I couldn't find dubs. I also took lessons to fully grasp it. Now I don't have to watch subbed or dubbed."
"You like anime?"
"I just said I did."
"I love anime!" he squeals. "Not a lot of people know that about me though."
"Same here."
"We're more alike than I thought, purrincess," he says.
You have no idea. "Looks like it."
"Well, I guess we should eat this delicious food before it goes cold," I say and he follows suit.
The night continues with us chatting before our Miraculouses beep.
"It looks like it's time to go," he says.
"Seems that way," I admit.
He turns away, and I quickly sneak my letter into his pocket before he leaves.
"See you later, Princess Kitsune," he teases and pole vaults off to his house.
I sigh. "I wonder how long it will take him to find out about the letter?"
~Adrien's POV~
I transform into myself and fall back onto my bed. "Wow, she's awesome."
"She's also very sneaky," Plagg says.
"Well, that's in her nature. She's a fox," I reply, looking at Plagg. "Why's that matter?"
"Check your pocket."
"My pocket?" I say and reach into my pocket to pull out a piece of paper. I open it and begin to read it. "The most attractive of creatures know the darkest of deeds be wary of foxes which hide in the weeds. They'll jest with your mind of loving lies, I sing, you'll dance, like a puppet on a string. They wander in lust, in need to feed, devouring quickly to fill the greed they need. Tiptoe on daggers and walk through the flame. Endure and be faithful or they'll shame your name. You're so naive it's easy to see that your heart was destined to a fox like me."
"Someone who writes as sickeningly sweet as you must be your soulmate," Plagg says.
"How is this possible though? I threw my poem away, but she responded to it."
"She did say she's always watching you."
"That means she knows who I really am. She knows that I'm Chat Noir."
