Four months have gone by since Adrien and Ladybug first met.  They have met without anyone else knowing a couple times a week.  They are a couple, but do not announce it.  They see no need to as this would only anger Adrien's  father. This would cause him to go after Ladybug or worse.  They can not risk this.  This is why they remain silent on this issue.

          Ladybug is glad her parents do not live with her. This way she was able to transform without any questions.  She leaves to go meet Adrien at their special spot.  She can only hope he does not forget about it.  She often wonders, what she is to him.  She does not want to be the other woman, or his side chick.  She does know that he must find some way to get away from that horrid girlfriend, his father set him up with soon.  She believes he will.  If not she will have to break up with him and break her own heart at the same time.  

        Adrien arrives just on time.  He has a look of worry in his eyes. He  seems to be at odds with something.  He does not say much about it though.  He just gives her a fake smile and sighs. He thinks, she is so lovely, and I love her smile, laugh, and well everything about Ladybug.  He feels a relief he has not in awhile now.  He is glad he took the time to dump Kagami soon after he first met Ladybug.  He told his father the news about the break up, but not the reason why.  This is to say he told he as little as he could without giving to many details away about it.

       "  I am sorry I am late.  Adrien, what is it that troubles you?   I can tell your smile is not real.  Usually, you are happy to see me, but today you have a fake smile.  Does this mean you regret us?  You do not want us to continue on as we are?"  Ladybug says.

       "Ladybug, it is not that at all.  It is just that soon after we met, I broke up with Kagami.  I felt a need too because I will never love her.  It did not seem right to lead her on for no reason.  Only, my father does not see it this way.  When  I told him he was furious!  My father insist I apologize to Kagami and beg her to come back to me.  However, I refuse to do so and he shows his displeasure at once."  Adrien says.  He slowly removes the hat he wears and Ladybug gasps.

     "A-Adrien, did he hit you?"  Ladybug says. She sees a huge bruise and scar across his forehead. She thinks, my love I must help you.

       "Yes, but it is a small cost to pay to be with you."  Adrien says.  He holds her in his arms.  He hears her sigh and smirks.

       "Adrien, what am I to you?  I mean it. I must know right away.  You see I do not think it is good for you to be uncertain about our relationship."  Ladybug says.

      "Oh, Ladybug, I care about you deeply.  I am smitten with you!  I  love you!"  Adrien states.

    "Good, because I love you too!  I do not want you to die.  I will not let your father take you from me.  You hear me?"  Ladybug says.

     "Yes, I  hear you.   I hear you loud and clear."  Adrien says.  He is happy that the woman he loves returns his love.

     "Good, now that  is been made known, I suggest you do not return home.  You shall stay here in this little area.  In our special place, the cabin instead.  I shall bring you your things. You need not worry."  Ladybug says.  She leaves, swings to the Agreste mansion, lands on the roof, and sneaks into Adrien's room through the open window. She wonders how he got out of the house with no injuries with this in mind.  

        Ladybug opens the closet door slowly.  She sees a small case inside, a back pack, and a few other things. She pulls out the back pack and suit case.  She puts the flashlight and batteries inside the suitcase inside pocket.  She adds some shirts, a jacket, a pair of gloves, a scarf,a pair of boots, the wallet she found in the bottom of the closet, a first aid kit, Adrien's cell phone charger, and a few packages of crackers (not open).  She closes the suitcase and zips it.  She tosses it out the window.  Next, she puts some books, a journal, some pens, pencils, an eraser,a notepad, a laptop case which has a laptop inside, a comb, and Adrien's  toothbrush and toothpaste  inside it.  She tosses it out the window now.  

       Ladybug climbs out the window,  She lands safely on her feet. She grabs up the bag and suitcase.  She swings from building to building and takes a long ways back to the hideout.  She does this on purpose so if someone follows her it will be impossible to find out where she stays.  She arrives back at the building where she hides Adrien.  She goes inside, sets down the luggage, and book bag.  She smiles, kisses Adrien on the cheek and says,  "Well, Adrien!  I am back with your things."

      Adrien smiles up at her.  He laughs.  "I just remember I am out of deodroant.  I really could use more, oh and some soap and washcloths too."

       "I will buy you some."  Ladybug says.  She goes to a store.  She buys the deodorant , soap, and washclohs.  She purchases a few towels, a pillow, a blanket and sleep bag as well. She returns to the hiding place soon.

      "Wow, that is great!  Thanks, Ladybug!  This way I  want smell bad all the time."  Adrien says.

      "Yes, well that is important.  I do recommend you try to get some rest though.  Oh, but before I go, I will fix you some food."  Ladybug says.  She enters the kitchen, destransforms, hands Tikki a cookie, and makes a meal for Adrien.  As she cookies, Tikki eats the cookie and Adrien sits down on the sofa.

      When she finishes there is  a nice plate of  meatloaf, mashed potatos with gravy, green beans, and peach cobbler.  She pours Adrien a glass of milk.  She smiles since Tikki is done eating and calls out,  "Tikki spots on!  Yeah!"  She transforms.

      Ladybug goes back to the living room area.  She hands the tray with the food and milk to Adrien.  "Here you go!"  Ladybug says.  She stays watches him eat, and as he finishes the milk she smiles even more.

     "The food was delicious and the milk quite refreshing.  Thanks, Ladybug!"  Adrien remarks.

     "You are welcome, A-Adrien!"  Ladybug says.

         Adrien kisses her hand, thinks, who are you really?   He smiles.  

             "Good night, my love!"  Ladybug says.

            "G-Good night, darling!"  Adrien says.

                 Ladybug waits until he is asleep, before she goes.  Once he dozes off, she kisses his forehead, and leaps away.  She goes home before she changes her mind.  She sighs a sigh of relief when no one follows her there.

               Meanwhile, Kagami is not to happy that Adrien broke up with her.  She is livid.  She thinks, how dare he dump me.  Why he could not find a better girl than me.  I am a famous fencer and we are good together, I know it.  How can he not see this?  How can he not see the mistake he makes to let me go?   She vows to get her revenge on whoever took her Adrien from her once and for all.

            Gabriel Agreste plots for a way to get Adrien to be with Kagami for good.  Unknown to him, he agrees with her mother this is for the best.  So, Gabriel and Irene sign the papers.  This is to say they sign a contract.  This particular contract states they both agree that Adrien is to marry Kagami and vice versa.  The papers state that the only way either of them can get it out of it is if :1. one  or both of them dies, 2. one or both of them, falls in love with someone else and marries them, 3. if  Kagami is found to be pregnant by someone else, 4.  if Adrien makes another girl pregnant before the wedding date, or  5.  if  one or both of them ends with a terminal illness prior to the wedding date.   Other than this, there are no expections!  None at all!  

        This  is not something they tell Adrien about since they feel no need to inform him about it. They figure why give him a chance to back out of it.  They do tell Kagami about it.  They might as well since it involves her too.  This is the big chance to make their children richer than ever, to combine the Agreste and Tsurugi households, to get grandchildren, and much much more.

       The only thing is their is just one problem none of them no about yet.   Adrien is in love with Ladybug which breaks the contract!  Also, he intends to propose to her soon!
