I guess I am back, I don't own M iraculous, all that goes to Astruc and Zagtoons... This is intended as a amusement, for no profit or other purposes. I own nothing here except perhaps the idea of the plot...but no characters, locations, or anything with direct ties. Reviews are welcome. Criticism is apprieciated.

She knew him, but it wasn't really him, it never had been. Adrien knew this, as he replayed the Volpina incident over in his head. Whoever was behind that mask, was ready to give in at the sight of his civilian self in danger. Perhaps he should be excited, but he knows that if his lady can't see through him well enough to know his unhappiness, then she must not care enough. It wasn't enough for him. Ladybug wasn't one to attach personal feeling to their interactions, she preferred to stick to business, at least usually. There were the rare exceptions, but she always played his boisterous personality off as a game. He wanted her to know him, to see the chaton that he really was. His lady had no idea of the lonely years he had spent, holed away in the mansion. The father who he once had, and his mother, the one he clung to in the night, even as a young teenager. That life was a fading memory to him, forced away by her disappearance. Gabriel couldn't cope, he buried himself away in his work, shutting down his heart, even to his son. This was destroying the kitten, his civilian form was a shadow, the ghost of a happy child, lost to the world. He needed someone there to listen, to hold him in the night, to catch those tears that he shed. The one had hoped would be able to see through it all, but had never come close. His heart was completely blasted to pieces, and he couldn't bear another heartbreak.

Adrien was losing his battle to keep it inside, to hide behind the perfect shell, but he was slipping, the shattering of it all came down that night.

Plagg was the only one who could see this collapse, as the sunshine child began to descend into the nightmares he was plagued by. The black cat knew what had to do, he needed to get Ladybug, and he needed her now. Following his ability to sense Tikki, Plagg shot out his holders window, disregarding his hunger for once. His necessity to chase down Paris's wonder in the spotted suit,consumed his strength, draining the deity of his powers. Narrowly missing the balcony's window, he crashed, breaking the planted pots outside. A light suddenly flickering on as the girl inside shot up and dashed to her balcony to found a black creature nursing his head, and lazily peering his eyes upwards to stare at her. Bluebell eyes gazed into the emerald eyes of the cat kwami in shock before finally she managed a single gasp.

Her hands timidly reached towards the cat before asking,"Ar-Are you C-Chat's kwami? Where is he?."

Plagg slowly nodded before rasping out," He's losing himself, Marinette. He needs someone. I can't let this happen again...Not to him...he's all alone...I can't lose another kitten.." and then falling limp in her her hands. Panicking, Marinette knew the situation was dire, as she laid the little cat on her bed, Tikki dashing out towards her before calmly saying," Marinette, we need some Camembert now. ". Immediately, Marinette shot off down the stairs and into the bakery, somehow managing to make it in one piece. She quickly grasped the wheel of cheese in her hands, and made her way back to her bedroom, where Tikki went to work reviving the limp, pale kwami on the bed.

Plagg's mind began to wake up, the numbness in his body fading, and he beagan to investigate his surroundings. Remembering his reason for visiting Marinette, he quickly grasped the Camembert out of Tikki's grasp, hugging it his chest silently, as if it were a blanket. This was his security, but also his food, and his method of restoring energy. Calming his nerves, the cat began to rapidly devour the cheese, and soon shot up to Marinette, and with a solemn face, told her, " We need to go, Marinette. You need to get to Chat Noir before it's too late."
