Chapter 28
Angelina's P.O.V:
"NO! YOU WILL NOT... INTERFERE WITH WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO FOR US!"
Jana yells at me as she rips her wrist right away from me. She quickly orders her ink slaves ahead of her back as they quickly attack both Raton Laveur and I again. I groan under my breath slightly as I take my remaining stars on me off my belt. The ink bunny slave throws himself to me as I quickly dodge him. Raton still mentally struggles with the angel slave at him. His ocean blue eyes widen in shock as he holds back tears in his glossy eyes. I need to help him! I kick at the ink bunny in front of me as he stumbles back. I run over to Raton as I push away the ink angel in front of him. Raton barely manages to catch back his own breath as I grab onto his shoulders as I shake at him.
"RATON! FOR OUR SAKE WAKE UP!"
"...S.....Satoru... H-He..." He barely makes out as a whisper as his words snap at me. I quickly look over my shoulder as I stare at the ink angel. He rises his head back up into a normal position as he growls at us. The gold like halo half stuck in his head and half unstuck as ink pours over his two eyes. His light tan skin in a mix of black ink along with his two hands completely in ink. The tips of his fingers sharp with his white angel wing feathers dripping with white ink onto the floor. Ink-Freak walks towards Satoru as she places a hand on his back.
"What's the matter Raton?~ I thought it'd be a nice little reunion for you~" Ink-Freak mischievously teases at Raton.
'What? Reunion? What the hell is Jana talking about here?!'
I snap out of my own confusion as Ink-Freak chuckles under her breath at Raton Laveur. With disbelief in his eyes. He sighs in defeat as he finally recollects himself in his sad trance.
"I'll make you a deal Raton Laveur~ If you give me your Miraculous... I'll release your little love here free... But if you don't... then I guess you might as well have to fight him again." Ink-Freak informs Raton as she places her other hand on her hip.
I turn myself over to Raton Laveur as tears finally break through his normal serious nature as he wipes them away. I watch my partner right now aim his right hand to his bracelet. I cover my mouth as I hurry over to him. His slightly teary ocean eyes stare into my brown ones as I force his right hand away from his Miraculous. Well, I think this bracelet is surely this Miraculous that is...
"THINK ABOUT WHAT YOUR TRYING TO DO HERE RATON!" I shout at him with my own seriousness in my tone, I keep a hand on his right hand just for safe keeping, "THIS IS NOT EVEN GOING TO FIX ANYTHING! HOW THE HELL AM I EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE FIGHTING INK-FREAK BY MYSELF IF YOU DO THIS?!"
"You two are sure using up your precious time here... might as well step this up a little more..." Ink-Freak sighs to the two of us as she releases her hand off Satoru's back. She swipes her hand over one of his eyes as she permanently stops the ink flow from one of his eyes. Now a mix of dead grey and his usual emerald green as he straightens himself up, "Satoru! GO AND GET THERE MIRACULOUSES!"
He obeys Jana as he runs back to us. His white angel wings open up as he grabs me by the fabric of my fox suit as he reaches for my pendant first. I swat his hand away as Satoru simply growls at me with serious venom. His single eye glares at me darkly as he then begins to slam me in a cycle into the wall behind me. A insane like look in his smile as he shortly throws me to the ground. I hold my head in my hands as he once again reaches for my pendant first. I back away from my 'friend' as he keeps stepping closer to me.
"LEAVE! LEAVE HER ALONE!"
A male voice screeches to 'Satoru' as he stops dead in his ink coat steps to me. His single eye grows more sleepy and kinda faint as he falls to the side. Raton right behind him as his sword end sticks out of 'Satoru's back. A horrifying look in his face and eyes, like he needs a moment to process his super bold move. I stand back up onto my feet with some shock myself in my face as my heart keeps skipping a beat every few heartbeats. Ink-Freak groans in frustration as she steps backwards for a second.
"AAUGH! WHY THE HELL CAN'T YOU GUYS JUST QUIT IT ALREADY! ... NO MATTER! NOTHING IS CHANGING MY MIND! ANGELINA'S DAD WITH PAY HIS PRICE NO MATTER WHAT!"
She turns around as she hurries as fast as she can out of the scene. I hurry right behind her tail, literally, as I call Raton Laveur over. I hear no footsteps behind me as I look back over my shoulder. Raton stares at 'Satoru' on the ground, with zero movement from him. I sigh to myself, well... a superhero can't leave her partner behind. I stop chasing after Jana as more of her ink slaves catch up with her and guard her in all angles. I sigh in defeat as I walk back to my partner. Staring at 'Satoru', lifeless on the floor.
"Raton... He'll be fine! But for now, we need to find Ink-Freak's Akuma..." I say to Raton as he nods to me. His eyes look over his shoulder as his eyes keep open only half way.
"All... All I want is to help him from his unfortunate life... But, yet I can never make any type of progress to do so..." Raton informs me in a form of a whisper as he stands back onto his two feet. Hold on...
'All I want is to help him from his unfortunate life?' Why is that so... familiar? No! No time to question myself! I place a hand on his shoulder as I flash at him a soft grin. His ocean blue eyes stare at me pretty wide as I run my hand down his shoulder to his elbow.
"I know we might not know each other's identities under our masks... but, if you really want what's best for him... Then you should think about how happy he would want you to be, I don't think he's the type of person who wants to see the someone who cares about him suffer forever. So, let's get this Akuma and then everything will be okay... that's a promise."
Tokumi's/Raton Laveur's P.O.V:
'Damnit... me and my secretly weak heart...'
My tears slowly leak out of my eyes as I roughly wipe them away. Whoever this girl is, simply watches me as she removes her hand off my shoulder. Her brown eyes in mine as she looks away a little awkwardly. I rub at the spot she touches as I purse my lips together.
"Well... thanks for that speech of yours for me, but like I said, I don't need any type of help from the likes of you, Ladybug or Chat Noir..." I stubbornly inform her as I walk around Sato as I stand in front of the both of them, "Anyways, we should just look for the Akuma at this point."
My P.O.V:
My whole army of my ink soldiers behind me as people all around me flee from me and my army behind me. A smile grows on my face as I hold my hands together behind my back as ink from all our feet covers the road with ink. One of my soldiers comes to me as she hands me a poster. I stare at it as with my single eye, my smile grows a little more bigger.
'Bill Cipher's magic show in Paris! Happening at the Eiffel Tower district!'
I hold the poster in my hand as I stare at the floor of ink under me blankly. Of course, it's all because of you Bill... your the reason why Angie and I can't simply go at each other with true honesty... But, then again... I'm not usually honest to others or even myself...
Never mind, back to my goal. I rip the poster in my hand into shreds as ink falls from the small poster shreds from my hands. I step forward as all my soldiers follow after me. I swear that fucking Bill Cipher is the reason to all of this.
If Angie wants to blame someone, it's him and not me!
"Everyone, go to the Eiffel tower district! I'll handle my opponent at the main source..."
All my soldiers around me split up as I continue my way to the Eiffel tower. I straighten out my ink dripping black dress as I flick away some of the ink droplets off the ends of my skirt. I mean, if I'm gonna meet Angie's dad... I might as well make myself look a bit presentable to him...
"No no! I NEED TO KNOW WHERE MY DAUGHTER IS!"
Speak of the damn devil...
I spot the one and only 'Bill Cipher' complaining to his personal driver as the driver calmly tries his best to calm Angie's dad down. A smirk grows on my lips as I take my time, walking to them as I place my hands on my hips. Each of my steps bring me closer to the magician and his driver as a feeling of satisfaction rushes over me as I finally stop in front of them. The driver and Bill himself both take a moment to turn to me as I simply stand there patiently.
"GAAH! S-SIR GET INSIDE THE CAR-!"
"OH NO YOU DON'T!~" I reply as I shove the two aside as I touch the silver-grey limousine with both of my hands. It quickly turns into ink as a puddle of ink simply stays in place of the fancy car's place. I look over my shoulder back to the driver and Bill behind me, the driver with a more shocking face as Bill is less of the shocking look in his face, "Hello Bill Cipher~ I believe we have some stuff to 'discuss' about now... don't we?~"
Two of my ink soldiers immediately comes to my side as I order them right away. Of course Bill's driver needs to chicken out as I watch him run away for his life. But of course, I'm someone really generous as I allow him to run off. Well, Bill is the one I truly want here. He smirks as both the ink soldiers tackles him down to the ground again.
"You really thought you can defeat me? Even with an Akuma helping you right now?~" Bill questions me as my eyes widen to him wide as he swiftly throws off the two soldiers on him, "Then you'll need to think of that again Bunny cakes~"
Angelina's P.O.V:
'God... this is going to be one hell of a mess to clean up...'
I think to myself randomly as I spot my father on the ground, stomach down as I slightly curls himself up. Jana, my Kwami back to normal as she lays flat on the ground. Her eyes shut as she breathes normally. Ladybug and Chat Noir already here as Ladybug quickly purifies the Akuma. Raton Laveur and I hop down to them as I hurry to my dad. He weakly opens his eyes open as he struggles to his knees, I help him of course as he gives me a small, thankful smirk to his lips.
"T-Thanks... But... what happened?" My dad questions me as he holds his head in a hand of his.
"I don't know... But we'll make sure that we catch you up!"
Ladybug releases the pure Akuma from her yo-yo as she walks over to us. Along with Chat Noir and Raton Laveur each on both of her sides. Her hands in a cup shape as I tilt my head over in my pure confusion.
"What happened here exactly?"
Ladybug unfolds her hands as she reveals to me Jana, still asleep basically as she hands me my Kwami. But... this is probably just to show me what's going on, not like she knows who the hell I am anyways. Ladybug ruffles her hand into her hair as she processes everything in her head.
"Well... all we can say this is a Kwami that got Akumatized. Apparently, Bill Cipher here was able to defeat the Akuma somehow... But, he can't remember what happened exactly or how he was able to defeat the Akuma in the first place..." Ladybug explains to me as clearly with her words as clear as possible. Chat Noir agrees with his partner as Raton Laveur nervously crosses his arms.
"Since the Akuma is now gone again for another day... everything should go back to normal like nothing happened. Right?" Raton questions Ladybug as she turns her head to our raccoon partner as she gives him a bit of a confused look. But she shakes off her thinking as she nods to him.
"Yeah, everything will go back to normal like it should be." Ladybug informs Raton as he releases a sigh of relief. Though... what's up with his obsession about Satoru for him? I mean, of course I know that Satoru is my friend and all... but with Raton...
It feels a bit too fishy...
"Thanks, because I need to check something now..." Raton informs Ladybug as he leaps off. Alright, only Ladybug, Chat Noir and I all alone here... My dad manages to rise back onto his two legs as I help him up.
His yellow eyes look into mine as I simply return to his gaze a small, thankful smile to him. He releases a small sheepish chuckle as he stands up straight.
"Here sir... I can help you home if you'd like..." I offer my own dad as he shakes his head.
"Nahh... it's fine little fox, But I gotta say... your honestly a lot like my own daughter..."
My eyes widen to my dad as I quickly cool them back down. Of course, I need to bring Jana back home with me. But... in what way can I possibly do this without my father knowing? I simply tuck her behind my back as I release a chuckle out of instinct.
"T-Thanks! But... just be safe when you head back to your house."
"I will... Thanks again!"
Tokumi's P.O.V:
'PLEASE PLEASE BE OKAY!'
I hop right in front of my boyfriend as I just detransform out of 'Raton Laveur'. Liam flies out of my bracelet as he plops into my hands. I tuck him away in my satchel as I close the flap of my bag. A soft groan erupts my ears as I snap back to Satoru. He sits back up as he holds his chest area.
"T-Toku? W-What h-happened? And... W-Why does m-my c-chest kinda hurt-?"
I shut up my boyfriend as I hug him tightly for dear life. He takes a moment to process everything as he carefully wraps his arms around me. I nuzzle my face into his neck as he breaths softly onto my neck.
"T-Toku? A-Are you o-okay h-honey-?"
"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry that your always in these situations... because of me..."
"W-What?! S-Since w-when?! w-what are you t-talking a-about?"
"Look, please... no matter what, we'll keep our promise to each other... Okay?"
"... A-Alright... I-I p-promise..."
