"Look out!"
Whoosh and Smack
Ladybug looked on in horror as Chat Noir was slammed into the side of a building by a torrent of water. She pulled out her trusty yo-yo and swung to his side as the akuma looked on with a grin.
"Ha ha ha! That's what you get for messing with Hang Ten!"
"Chat Noir, Chat, answer me!" she cried as she shook him vigorously. Chat had hit the building head first and with an alarming amount of force. Out cold, with blood dripping down his scalp, Ladybug cradled him in her arms.
"You're next Ladybug!" screamed the villain as he prepared his next attack. Ladybug glared at him before picking Chat up and quickly swinging away to a safe spot out of reach.
Why must he always go out of his way to protect me? Thought Ladybug as she swung away with Chat in her arms. He's always so reckless and overprotective. I'm Ladybug for crying out loud! I don't need him to always come to my rescue. I know that I'm the only one that can purify the akuma but still, he didn't have to push me out of the way when that attack came, I could've taken the hit.
8 months. It had been 8 months since Ladybug and Chat Noir first became crime fighting partners. Despite having only worked together for 8 months, Chat Noir and Ladybug's teamwork was strong. They complimented each other nicely; Chat Noir the reckless, melee fighter would usually serve as the distraction and Ladybug the strategic, long distance attacker would came up with the solutions to defeat the akuma. Although Ladybug usually relied upon long distance attacks, she was no stranger to close combat and could handle herself well. Nevertheless, Chat Noir had a tendency towards protecting her whenever she was drawn into hand to hand combat or taking any hits that came her way.
If only Chat hadn't protected me, then he wouldn't be in the state that he is now. Thought Ladybug as she continued to swing looking for a safe place.
She managed to find an abandoned general store to hide in. She sighed with relief as she saw the akuma surf past. Setting Chat down she began to frantically look around the store for some first aid supplies. She managed to find some alcohol, a suture kit, and bandages before proceeding back to Chat Noir. Still out cold, Ladybug proceeded to clean and bandage the wound he had sustained hoping he wouldn't feel the needle pierce his skin. Once finished she looked him once over to make sure that there wasn't any more damage. Concluding that the head wound was the only injury, she turned to leave only to be stopped by a gloved hand. Glancing back she noticed that Chat had awoken.
"Chat!" She cried pulling him into a tight embrace. Chat Noir blinked a few times in shock before returning the gesture. Chat grimaced as Ladybug pulled away from the hug, suddenly feeling his injury. She frowned as he reached up to touch the bandage.
"You fixed me up I purrrrsume." Chat said with a smirk.
Ladybug rolled her eyes before responding. "Yes, luckily I was able to get away and find this store without Hang Ten noticing, but we need to have a serious conversation about you always trying to protect me."
"It's a knight duty to protect him lady."
"YOU'RE NOT A KNIGHT AND I'M NOT YOUR LADY!" She screamed.
Chat was taken aback by the sudden outburst of anger. Ladybug sighed before continuing.
"Chat, we're a team. We're supposed to work together to defeat the akuma as partners, as equals. I know that I'm the only one who can purify akumas, but that doesn't mean that my safety trumps your own. I need you to trust that I can take care of myself and not always jump..."
