Hello!!!! It's me, I am back!!! Thank you so much for all the views and lovely awesome comments you guys! It helped me go through all the stressful grades and reports this year. It's Tuesday today, and school ends.... TOMORROW! Yay! Oh yeah, uh huh. ;) 

Sorry for the delay on the update. If you follow me, I sent you guys a message about the situation. I persuaded my mom to give me a break on the math class today, (she teaches me 'cause she's a math teacher.) I told her that I have a lot of homework. She was suspicious, since homework has turned from a waterfall to a trickle. But thanks to my annoying little sister, she got distracted and let it drop. Yeah, I'm a rebel. :D Or try to be... I tend to follow the rules..... SO WHAT!  

He he. Anyway, most of you guys are kinda getting the flow of the story in your comments. Some of them are true, BUT. I can never tell you the real ending. Oh!!!! Ha!!! Sorry. I'm hyper today. He he he. Lol. 

So, here's the next chapter. Chapter ten!! <3 Enjoy! I made it especially long for you.

Okay, okay Adrien. Get a grip. Calm down. 

Chat was breathing heavily now, and his heart beat had increased. He groped his chest, gasping. 

"Whatcha thinking there kitty? Don't tell me that you're already defeated." Soul Stealer snarled. 

Just, do it. It's the only way to-to- get the akuma out. And maybe.... if Ladybug comes and purifies the akuma, then Marinette will come back alive. Right? Yeah.  

Chat shook his head once, and slowly rose. He put on his most winning smile. 

"Nope." He popped the p, "I'm still up and going. And as long as I'm alive, you can't take this ring." he said. 

Chat Noir jumped into the air, and using his baton, he safely reached the opposite side of Soul Stealer. 

Soul Stealer shrieked in rage as she began to shoot at Chat. Dodging her arrows, he shouted at the guards:

"Are those shock guns?!" 

The clumps of cowards all nervously nodded. 

"Then shoot her!!" Chat commanded. 

The guards scrambled on their feet, forming a ring around Soul Stealer and Chat. 

"Power, I need more power!" Soul Stealer said, and she sent an arrow flying. 

The guard nearest to her went down with a wail, and his soul was absorbed into her. Chat winced. 

"And, try not to get hit. The souls she take will make her only more powerful!" 

The battle between the villain and hero continued. Chat was doing nothing but dodging her arrows, and, the occasional dart that was sent towards him. 

"Not at me, at her!" he shouted. 

The guards nodded ruefully. 

I need to find an advantage. Maybe I can break something? So it lands on her.... then I won't have to kill her with anything. Oh no, what am I thinking? 

But Chat had to do it. He searched for a specific object he could use cataclysm on... 

"Enough!" 

Soul Stealer piercing shout brought him back to reality, just in time to see Soul Stealer charging at him, gloved fist drawn back. 

The thud was loud. Her fist hit Chat square in the jaw. He went skidding back on the ground, and the friction his suit made with the wooden floor only made it worse. 

Chat's jaw throbbed painfully, but through it all, he managed to shout: 

"Now." 

Dozens of darts were sent toward the target, but she was too smart for them. Soul Stealer ducked down, and the arrow crossed each other, and lamely hit the guards on the opposite side. 

She smirked as the remaining guards fled for their lives. 

Now, it was Chat and Soul Stealer that remained in the room. 

As Chat looked up at the villain, she managed to kick him in the stomach. He doubled over, groaning in pain. The corner of his vision was white and blurry, and he felt blood trickling down from his jaw. 

"Poor cat." Soul Stealer said, mocking him by roughly scratching him under his chin.

Chat growled, and she laughed. It sounded fake, and it sent shivers down his spine.  

Using this as his chance, he grabbed her ankle, and flipped it back. He grinned as he heard the satisfying thump of her body hitting the ground. 

"You!" Soul Stealer hissed. 

Chat suddenly felt energy rush through his battered body, and he instantly pounced. Soul Stealer gasped as he slammed her down. Reaching back, he pulled out all her remaining arrows. 

"There, now you can't shoot!" Chat said in triumph. 

Soul Stealer kicked him back, but Chat didn't worry much. She was now defenseless. 

The joy didn't go for long: More arrow appeared in the quiver, and before the leather clad hero react, she sent arrows flying at him. 

Using his fencing reflexes, he pulled out his baton, extended it, and began to block himself. 

The silver arrows bounced off his baton, and came back at Soul Stealer. 

Her sky blue eyes widened in surprise, before shutting them after seeing it hit her heart too late..... 

Ping!  

The sound of metal hitting metal echoed through the room. Soul Stealer waited for impact, but only heard the soft sound of breathing. 

"I don't want to hurt you, Marinette." 

Soul Stealer's eyes opened, finding the hero in front of her, tears brimming his big emerald eyes. Something in her heart found this boy familiar, but she pushed it deep down into the bottom of her chest. 

"Then you won't stand a chance against me cat boy." she said. 

Chat...... Please..... 

Marinette's voice echoed inside Soul Stealer's head. 

"Argh, you pest! Get out of my head." she screamed. 

Putting her hands over her ears, she collapsed on the ground, crying. 

Marinette found this as an advantage and kept on yelling at her villain self. 

Stop this, stop it! Don't do it, aren't you hurting everyone? Aren't you ashamed? 

The akuma's power faltered for a moment, with every drop of water that escaped Soul Stealer's eyes. 

"M-Marinette? Are you okay?" Chat asked nervously. 

"No, this is for my good. Adrien broke my heart, this is good..... I need to make him feel like I did. Scared, hopeless, lifeless,..." Chat shifted uncomfortably. 

"-angry, sad..... Soulless." 

Realization struck her. She was so focused on getting Chat's miraculous, she never really thought about her goal. 

Suddenly, her crying stopped. Her screaming stopped. 

Soul Stealer calmly stood, smirking. 

"What do you think is wise, Chat?" she asked, beginning to circle him, "Do you think I should get your miraculous first, or get Adrien?" 

Chat was shocked. 

"W-why are you asking me this Marinette?" he stammered. 

Soul Stealer whipped back towards him, eyes glinting with madness. 

"Don't call me that." she hissed. 

Her pale face turned back to being pleasant. 

"Mm? So, what do you think?" she repeated. 

Marinette was scaring him, this fast changing of voice, face..... It was not like the cute and kind classmate he knew. 

"I-I think...." He had to get Marinette away from him for a while, so he could plan.

"Why don't you g-go for Adrien? The one who made you so mad. I mean he h-hurt you so...." he tried to say. 

Soul Stealer disappeared.  

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

"Plagg, I just can't. How can I kill her?" Adrien asked as he de-transformed. 

His black kwami scowled. 

"You idiot. Are you kidding me?" Plagg groaned. 

"What? Got a smarter idea?" Adrien said. 

Plagg sighed. 

"Looks like I'll have to tell you then. I'm telling you, this'll have to have a salary. Preferably-" 

"I know! Camembert, now tell me already!" Adrien exclaimed. 

"Okay, okay. Calm down moron. Now. Where was I?" 

"You didn't. Even. Start." Adrien gritted his teeth to stop himself from biting his kwami. 

(Hey don't judge, my Adrien's a cat boy. *winks*)  

"So, first of all. Where does her power go to?" Plagg questioned. 

"Her heart." Adrien rushed. 

"You said you had to kill her to get the akuma out, huh? Stab her in the heart or something?" 

"Yes. So tell me your other idea." 

Plagg yawned. 

"How did you make her akumatized again?" 

"Plagg!" Adrien shouted, "Seriously?" 

"What? I'm double checking, I guess." the grumpy kwami complained. 

"So?" Adrien asked. 

"Broke her heart? Then mend it." Plagg shrugged.

Plagg's simple statement left Adrien baffled.

"Now where's my Camembert?"
