Wow an update!Finally!Anyways thanks for the reviews,follows and favorites.(We reached over 300 followers since last time.)

I deleted the author note on June 28. I didn't know that deleting that Chapter would update the whole story. So I'm sorry for those that thought there was a new chapter a few days ago. But there's one now so...yeah.

I couldn't find a right ending for this chapter so this is what I came up with. I personally thought I could have done better but you know this chapter was difficult to write. I felt like the ending was a bit rushed and a bit dramatic ,but oh well. Hope you enjoy.

Chapter 9: The Sad,The Mad,The Reveal,Oh My!

As soon as Ladybug left, Chat Noir waited a few minutes before he took out his baton and vaulted away. He hadn't meant to tell her about his worries, about Marinette being hawkmoth. Nor did he mean to forget to mention her name. He didn't even know how he had ended up in front of the bakery. He smiled as took in the scent of the daily bake goods. He sat down on the roof tiles, as he saw that Marinette was not alone,but with Alya by her side. He decided he would wait until Alya the meantime he would just take in the lovely view.

As soon as he saw Alya and Marinette hugging goodbye,he waited until Alya was walking down the street to make his move . He slowly made his way to Marinette's window,only to find the it wasn't open. He peeked through the closed window frame to see that she was turning off the lights. She must be getting ready for bed, he thought.

With the help of his night vision he saw her starting to head up towards her ladder. Until she stopped for a second and looked in the direction of her desk. He moved his eyes to her desk and saw a very familiar box. Next to it was the brooch and what he assumed was her sketchbook. He saw as she pick up the brooch and placed it in the box. She closed it and glared at it as she held it in her fist.

"You got me into to this mess." she said turning around. Knocking her sketchbook on the ground to reveal a drawing of butterfly. He almost gasped when he got a good look at the box. It was almost the exact same box he had gotten his miraculous. He remained silent as Marinette crouched down to pick up the sketchbook. He saw her about to head up the ladder,box in hand. Now how was he to get it he asked himself. When her eyes suddenly narrowed towards his direction. Did she see him ? He was beginning to think he was caught when she approached the window and cracked it open. He held his breath hoping that she had not spotted him. He was beyond relieved when he heard her say, "There. It was getting stuffy in here." as she pulled away.

Did he have a plan? No. The plans were usually up to Ladybug,and he just followed them. But that didn't mean he couldn't,just for this time, do as he pleased. He quietly waited a little while, until he was sure that she was asleep,though by the way he heard she kept tossing and turning it seemed that it would take some time. Though after a little time he heard nothing so he stepped into her room. He knew he could get the box if he was quiet enough. He started making his way to her ladder, when he heard her bed creak. He narrowed his eyes to where she was, in attempt to see if she getting up. He couldn't see her getting up despite his night vision. So he assumed that she was just a restless sleeper. He wanted to make sure she wasn't waking up so he would have to check before he decided to climb all the way up. Chat started to climb the ladder and peeked just barely visible,but enough to see.

And there she was, awake and she was holding the brooch in the miraculous box. She seemed unaware of him being there. He was sure of it until she threw a pillow his direction. Did she see him? No because if she had,she would have said something.

"What am I going to do?" he heard her ask herself. He peered over the loft again to see her clutching a pillow instead of the box.

"How am I going to get myself out of this situation,without revealing myself?" He wondered if she knew that she was thinking out loud. He wondered if she had figured out that he knew her secret. That would make things a bit more complicated. He was sure she had figured him out as soon as she said,

"Once I get my hands on that cat….I going to kill him all nine lives...I'm going to.." That only confirmed that she knew. Oh boy. He climbed the rest of the way and asked,

"Going to what Princess?" He saw the way her eyes widened and her head turned impeccably fast.

She looked terrified and furious at the same time and a little of something else. Disappointed? But why?

"Chat Noir," her voice was quiet but terrifying at the same time. He had only ever seen Marinette mad one time and that had him promising not to anything to piss her off again. "Why are you here?" she asked him. Okay maybe he should have planned this better he thought as she got up.

"I asked you a simple question Chat Noir." She was now in infront of him. She was small compared to him,but that didn't mean she was scary at this very moment. Plus this wasn't sweet kind marinette with the blue shining gentle eyes ,this was someone else. Someone that felt threatened. He watched as she raised her eyebrow and her blue eyes held their gaze on his green ones. " What are you doing here?" her voice rose a bit as she circled him. He didn't respond and gulped. What had he gotten himself into?

.

.

.

Marinette was very startled to see Chat standing there. Didn't that cat understand the meaning of, don't do anything reckless. God was she going to have a talk with him about this. Though another thought manage to weasel it was into her thoughts. Had he heard what she had said? If he had she wasn't helping her alibi. Marinette tried to think of a way to convince him to tell him he was wrong without giving herself away. She sighed as she stood up turning towards him. Despite she being worried about her identity,despite knowing that Tikki had forbidden her to reveal herself to anyone, despite it going against the rules, despite her not being fully ready,despite all of that she...she had no choice but to tell him.

No. No,she couldn't give up so easily. Not for something she had fought for to stay hidden and to only be revealed because her stupid cat decided to assume things. She would have to come up with something she just needed to keep him distracted or something until she came up with another alternative solution. Though distractions were usually Chat's thing.

So here she was circling the cat as if he was a prey and she was the predator. She looked at him still waiting for an answer. She saw Cat's eyes widen and an audible gulp could be heard. She stopped in front of him,arms crossed.

"Not going to respond?" she asked as she narrowed her eyes. She knew that he was scared, you could see it in his eyes. Did that mean she was going to back down? No,of course not. This cat had everything she was about to say coming to him. "Are you going to tell me why you're in my room or am I going to have to call my parents?" she asked. This made Chat shake his head.

"Don't call your parents." he said.

"Then tell me why you're in my room now and those other times before." She knew the answer of course, she just wanted it to come out of his mouth.

"You know?" he asked and she nodded.

"I'm not blind Chat Noir .I was bound to notice my own belongings were moved, even if slightly. I just didn't know it was you that was breaking into my room. Well of course that is until now" She told him.

" Breaking in? I hardly call it that. The window was open and hardly broke anything." He responded and she noticed his eyes dart to where the box was. She unconsciously moved in front of it.

"What are you looking for? I know you wouldn't bother looking through a civilians room without reasons." she waited for him to reply.

"I think you already know what I'm looking for." he smiled in a way that asked her to deny it. She grabbed the box that was behind her.

" You're right I do know what you're looking for. Sadly for you,I don't have it." It was partially the truth she had a miraculous, just not the butterfly miraculous.

"I know that's not true.I have reasons to believe you have it." he huffed. She knew she was running out of time and she didn't have a plan. Not one. She had to calm down she had worked under pressure before. But this was different it wasn't an akuma, this was her partner,reckless and stupid, but her partner nevertheless.

"What types of reasons" she found herself asking. She knew the reasons why he suspected her,but she just needed a little more time to see if she could form a plan.

" You're never there when an akuma strikes and most of your class has been akumatized expect you." he told her. "And I know for a fact miraculous holders can't get akumatized."

"Maybe I run to safety and maybe I'm not akumatized because I try to stay positive. Have you ever thought of that?" she asked. She had noticed that Chat had demeanor had changed from scared to determination. Determination to get her so called butterfly miraculous.

"Or maybe you run away because you're involved with the akumas and maybe you haven't been akumatized because you have a miraculous." His voice lacked any playfulness she usually associated it to .Though she couldn't help but laugh. Hearing it a second time made her realize how funny it sounded. Her,Hawkmoth? How ridiculous.

"Chat you are accusing me without much facts but with mere coincidences." she pointed out.

"You have nothing on me Chat."

"So very wrong you are princess. I know for a fact that your whole class been akumatized.." he paused and she waited, " everyone but you." he finished.

"What are you saying Chat?" she asked fully knowing what he was implying.

"What do you think I'm saying." He asked as he leaned in. Marinette glared at him. She was so close to slapping him just to see if it would knock common sense back into him.

"Well it sounds like is that you think I akumatized all my classmates,just because I haven't been targeted by a butterfly." she told him.

" Oh well it's just not that ,talking to a butterfly seems suspicious." he paused looking at her. "And judging by the look on your face you know what I'm talking about."

" Chat are you implying just because I talked to a butterfly it automatically makes me Hawkmoth?" She questioned his stupid reasoning. " Chat I talked to pigeon a few months ago per pete sake!"

"I wouldn't have thought much of it," He continued as he ignored her last sentence. " if it weren't for after, when you released the butterfly. Because right after there was an akuma attack and then you disappeared."He stated. What he said before caught up with her thoughts.

It was risky but then again she had to try. Marinette closed her eyes, forgive me my love.

"Well you're wrong." She said flatly. He looked at her surprised and then looked at like he was challenging her.

"Really now?" he questioned.

" I'm not the only one that hasn't been akumatized in my class. There's this boy his name is Adrien and for all you know he could be Hawkmoth" That made him tense. Why? She had no idea, then he smirk like he knew something.

"Princess you and I know you don't really think that." he said confidently.

"And why not? From what I know he also disappears during akuma attacks and hasn't been targeted either." she shot back,hoping he would buy it. Judging by the grin on his stupid feline face he didn't.

"Because if you really did,you wouldn't have a bunch of pictures of him on your wall." he whisper and she turned around so not to face him, her face red.

"You saw that?" she asked embarrassed. "What else did you see?"

"Oh you know aside from the pictures not much…" he said which caused her to sigh in relief. "Except his entire schedule and a what I assume doll of him." she choked as she spun around to see him.

The way he smiled told her that he knew. She sighed for the 100th time.

"You figured it out didn't you?" was the only thing on her mind right now.

"Yes I did. Now let's end this and hand me you miraculous." he told her looking at the box behind her back. Marinette crossed her eyes at him angrily. She had enough.

"I told you that I don't have a miraculous!" she cried out furiously. "I'm not Hawkmoth!" She was lucky that her parents slept through almost anything. Because if not then she would not know how to explain a superhero in her room at night . She also wouldn't want to explain the fact why she was yelling how she was not a villain.

"Yes you are! My kwami sensed a strange aura around you which is probably your kwami!" he impatiently yelled back.

"Well your kwami, what ever that is,sensed wrong!" she shot back denying that she knew about kwamis. She had to tell him. They were both swimming in dangerous waters.

"Come on Marinette stop denying it. You and I both know that you know what a kwami is." he inquired. "Please do not make this harder then it is."

" I seriously do not know what a kwami is." she tried denying it again.

"Please Mari, I don't want to fight you!" he argued back.

"We're fighting right now!" Marinette snapped out. Her eyes eyes fell to the floor. "And what for?A few coincidences?" she whispered. She was going to make a huge decision right now. A decision she planned to wait a few more months for, but she knew plans always change.

"You're right." she whispered looking into his eyes. "I am involved with the akumas."

.

.

.

.

He didn't want to continue to argue with her and apparently she didn't either. The last few seconds they had exploded and yelled impatiently at each other. He didn't want to fight with her but she wasn't cooperating the way he wanted her to. He saw the way she deflated in defeat as her eyes averted to the ground. He didn't know what type of emotions were in her eyes as she looked at him. As she whispered,

"You're right. I am involved with the akumas." he couldn't help but think,called it. He let her continue.

"I do know what a kwami is." she confessed to him.

"Then why deny knowing ?" he asked. Though she just continued ignoring him.

"I am do disappear when akumas attack because I am involved with them." she then brought the box out behind her back. " I haven't gotten akumatized because of the miraculous and your kwami did sense right I do have a kwami." she confessed." You were right about that."

Chat didn't know why,but he had a very bad feeling bubbling up. He didn't like it.

"This is the box in which my miraculous came in." she opened the miraculous box up. She gently took out the brooch. "I really wanted to tell you,but not for a few more months." Tell him that she was Hawkmoth? Why would she want to tell him?

"I didn't tell you right away because I knew you'd be disappointed." she rambled on. Disappointed? Well he was because she completely knew what she was doing. She could have stopped a long time ago or even not have started.

"But I have to tell you.I can't risk you telling anyone what you think of me." she said seriously." Because I knew that you suspected me as Hawkmoth,but I hope you didn't. I hoped I was wrong" he froze when he saw her eyes get glassy.

"Marinette.." he started. The feeling in his stomach reached his heart. He started to realize what he was doing. He started to feel guilty. He started questioning if he was right about her.

"Guess I was right because you're here." she laughed sadly. "I thought the way my civilian self acted was too different from my alter ego. So I knew no one would suspect me,but then I got suspect as a villain." she told him and he saw the way she clutched the brooch. She then placed it in front of him.

"I just couldn't believe my partner was the one to accuse me." his eyes widen at the word. It couldn't be he thought,it couldn't. The bad feeling spread all over like fire on forest ground. His accusations lost and forgotten.

"But Chat Noir you see,this," she snapped the brooch. "Isn't a miraculous it 's just a regular brooch."

He didn't know what to say. What could he say?What could a person say to another after accusing them to be a villain.

"And I'm not the villain, I am not hawkmoth,.." she started and he wanted her to stop. Though before he realized he saw her call her kwami. He saw a the red spotted creature with blue eyes look at him. His brain was trying to catch up.

"Because I Chat noir I'm fighting the akumas and saving the day with you. Because I Chat noir….I'm..."
