Miraculous World - Tokyo
Alright guys, let's return-
To the world of Miraculous Rewrite
We start on the watery light of morning, filtered through a paned window. Little dust motes reflecting the dim sunlight and sliding to the side until we see a mass of black hair. Two young women looking very much like young adults, college students at a guess, are tangled up in a nice looking (but not overly fancy) bed. One has short hair mussed with sleep, the other has even shorter in a rumpled undercut. They’re both still asleep. A bit of rummaging breaks the relative silence and we pan over to see a young man with long, tangled blonde hair buttoning up a dress shirt. The silver ring glints on his finger, thinner and less blocky than we remember the old one looking. A flash of black catches his eye and he focuses on the little cat Kwami floating down to sit on his shoulder, yawning. “Morning already?” Plagg yawned. “I was just having the most wonderful dream of swimming in a sea of melted camembert.” Adrien rolls his eyes with a small grin. “Geez, discorperated and recorperated for the first time in centuries and you never once changed your tune about cheese, huh?”
“Cheese is eternal.” Plagg huffed. But Adrien continues to get ready. “You know I don’t even know why you’re getting ready, don’t you wanna be in there with the loves of your life?”
“If you wanna go back to your nest with Tikki and go back to sleep with her you can just do that.” Adrien responds patiently. “It’s just breakfast, you can join me later.”
Plagg doesn’t even wait; he's immediately darted back over toward the Kwami nests and snuggling back up to Tikki.
Adrien looks back at Marinette and Kagami, both still sleeping soundly and smiles, he places a hand on the side of the bed and gives them both a couple of gentle smooches before leaving. 
We follow Adrien through the halls and come to see that this is a pretty big house, assumedly a new Agreste Manor. 
Sure enough when he ends up in the kitchen area, Emilie is sitting on the countertop, legs crossed and nursing a mug of coffee. She’s still in her pajamas but she’s wearing Nooroo’s broach like a pendant. The Kwami in question has a shot glass also full of coffee he’s working on. 
“Morning Maman.” Adrien walks up and gives his mom a peck on the cheek, before opening the fridge and getting started on breakfast. “Is Father still asleep?”
“You know he is. That man is a night owl to his core.” she shook her head and peeked over Adrien’s shoulder to see what he was making. "So remind me how it works again?"
Adrien shrugged. "Tell me one thing Hawkmoth did that wasn't solved within a few hours that he could be tried for legally in court? The legal definition of terrorism includes that it's used for political gains, so the emotional effect of being Hawkmoth not having a political leaning makes that negligable, any harm to person or property was undone by Miraculous Ladybug, and the only lasting damages done were done at the hands of the Old Order in the final battle, in the fight of which Father was on our side. There's no legal precedent for supervillains. And..." Adrien shrugged.
"I dunno, it would feel wrong at that point 'civic duty' or not. it was a battle of Miraculouses, so Among Miraculous wielders it should stay."
"You know in a way it doesn't feel real... how much different things have been since... everything... My husband was a supervillain my boy was a superhero, and i started all of it for using a broken Miraculous..."
"Maman, it's not your fault, you didn't know. we all made out decisions. Father made his choices, I made mine, and we chose to mend what happened. And let me tell you- it feels MUCH different now that it's over. Now that we can- you know... have a chance at being REAL..."
The domestic scene continues just a moment longer as we get caught up on where everyone is at in life. 
Adrien is actually working at the Bakery with the Dupain-Chengs, though today he was going with Sabine to look over a new deal with one of their suppliers, Marinette was getting her label off the ground and had been up to her eyeballs recently in commissions, to the point where Gabriel had been ‘lightly advising’ that she might want to consider forming a team to keep up with demand, and how hard it was to listen to him despite his actual professional experience. Kagami was practically physically fighting her mother over not having to go to university in Tokyo. Kenji wanted to stay in France and there was some weird thing about her grandparents wanting one of their grandkids to be nearby soon, and since he was older Kenji had seniority on decisions over his own life. 
But before too long they’re joined by Marinette and Kagami shuffling out down the hallway, Kagami more bleary eyed and annoyed than Marinette, who looks strikingly perky. 
“Let me tell you, life as Marinette got way easier the SECOND it wasn’t just me and Adrien doing patrols.” Marinette says in lieu of greeting, sitting on the place at the counter that Emilie vacated earlier. She yawns and stretches, and right when Kagami sits at the kitchen table, thunking her head down she hops off the counter to grab the coffee maker. She pours a mug, and then retrieves a glass of juice. Marinette offers Kagami the coffee and sips at the juice herself. “Hey Adrien, you know I know you’re excited about working for Maman and Baba but you don’t HAVE to do all the cooking, you can just wake me up with you sometimes.” Adrien shrugs, finishing the breakfast spread right as Gabriel eventually comes in, rolling up in a wheelchair with a tablet on his lap. 
Breakfast is served and Adrien shrugs. “I’m still figuring myself out Mari, Come on, I spent most of my childhood in a job I kinda hated and being a superhero too, I need some time for self expression! Besides, I love providing for my most favoritest people in the world… and Father too I guess.” Gabriel shoots him a dry look over his own coffee.
A beeping noise interrupts the quiet breakfast and Kagami groans, pulling out her phone and checking the email. “Ugh… this stupid reunion…” 
“It’s an excuse to go to Japan and check out that thing-” Marinette chimes in and Kagami doesn’t look any less upset about it, even as she digs back into her food. 
“I know, But the last time my family had a reunion my mother was so stressed out she became a giant spider monster.” Gabriel cringes, but Kagami plows on. “And I KNOW my grandparents are gonna try and get me to go to Uni in Tokyo, and I can’t exactly explain to them that just having my relationship in France isn’t the only reason I want to stay here. I can’t just say that I’m a superhero. Not to them at least.”
“You know, I was wielding a magic item before any of you-” Emilie brings up “and I’d never seen anything quite like the amount of magical phenomena that’s been cropping up ever since I woke up, Miraculous or no.”
“Alya has a theory-” Marinette responds. “Something about the Final battle might have caused a lot of supernatural things to get a bit of a ‘soft reset’ so weird shit is gonna start popping up because of it. The Combination of Total Destruction puts a lot of strain on the magic balance of the universe.”
“It couldn’t have helped that a Miraculous Wish was used right after.” Adrien added on, and Gabriel cringes again. “We still doing that team meeting today to divvy up what we’ve found?”
“Yeah, Chloe and Amber seem really confident about that one in the states, and Alya’s agreed to not bring up that ‘Maybe’ that's in New York until she’s got confirmation, so the others need to be up to date on what might be going on there.”
“Try not to get punched in the face by the flour guy again,” Kagami added on “if one of the illustrious leaders shows up with a black eye from something stupid again they’ll never let you live it down.”
“Hey if I didn’t tank it for Marinette’s mom last time Sabine would have actually killed him before he could land the blow.”
“I’m thankful Maman didn’t have to actually commit murder last time, yes.” Marinette agreed with a sort of playful eye roll. “It’d look bad if a superhero’s parent got put in prison.” “I’m sitting right here.” Gabriel adds on with another dry look
“We know.” All three young adults answer in unison. 
Emilie laughs. 
“Good thing you weren’t Hawkmoth, right? Just heroically aided the team when the Ram Miraculous was left nearby and Hawkmoth and Monarcha ran off with the Old Order.” Adrien added in. Though Gabriel looks more generally uncomfortable, and for a moment the mood goes a bit somber at the reminder of everything that had happened at the end of the war expanded in audience beyond what was before. 
But then Kagami stands. “Well, that’s enough reminiscing I think. Time to focus on more important matters, namely all of these phenomena that HAVE been popping up regardless of HOW they’ve been. The others should all be filing into the base soon. I say we should get dressed and head them off.”
She begins to walk off gesturing for her partners to follow her and Adrien digs into the rest of his breakfast while Marinette downs the last of her juice. “Fair enough” Emilie shrugs as the kids all begin to rush to get ready.
We see a few clips of the three of them getting ready bobbing and weaving around each other during morning routines as the Kwamis buzz around to help or do their own morning rituals. Tikki, Plagg, and Lonng eventually settling on their respective wielder’s shoulders each as once clothes are straightened out and such, Adrien rushes forward and shouts “race ya!” to which Marinette takes up with a playful laugh. And Kagami huffs and grins too, but doesn’t seem immediately to go with. Adrien tears past a couple of other bedrooms in this mansion, a door opening and Felix and Bridgitte both poking their heads out, Felix’s hair still rumpled with sleep and a sour look on his face. When Adrien turns to the stairs Max is just walking out of a room, tapping something on a laptop and looking like he didn’t sleep at all. 
A couple more heads poke out of rooms as Adrien tears through with Marinette at his heels, showing that while maybe everyone doesn’t LIVE together, they all do have rooms here when they’re wanted/needed, and some will drop in to spend the night at times. Especially with early morning meetings such as these. 
Marinette barely pulls the lead when they both cram into a storage room and slams her hand onto a hidden panel. It scans HER hand first and she grins triumphantly at him. Adrien pouts for a moment but when the false wall opens to reveal an elevator behind it Kagami is already waiting inside said elevator for the both of them. 
“Frankly that was a little insulting to challenge me so…” she’s looking at her nails as if in one of those ‘so bored nothing else to do’ type things. 
Marinette laughs, Adrien pouts even further. “Hey! You cheated! You totally turned into wind to get in here faster!”
“Don’t be silly, Lonng doesn’t allow for such misuse of his power…” 
“She bribed me.” Lonng responds without missing a beat, and sure enough her Kwami was already snacking again, now on what looks to be some sort of hard candy. 
The two leaders of the team stare at Kagami for a moment, before she leans forward and pecks both of them on the cheeks. “Forgiven?”
“For now.” Adrien responds immediately, while Marinette adopts a more mischievous expression, and the blonde steps out of the way. 
Kagami only has a moment to brace herself before her girlfriend lunges at her and the doors of the elevator shut. When they open again, it’s in the basement of the new mansion, revealing their base of operations and another door nearby. The wielder of the Dragon Miraculous is currently taking breaths in between a barrage of tickling from the designer, while Adrien whistles in the background, keeping his hands up as he exits the elevator. 
As he does so, the door opens, revealing wine bottles lining shelves; a secret door, and out steps Chloe, who raises one eyebrow at the scene in the elevator and looks to her childhood friend. He, in response, mouths “don’t ask.” 
Now it’s Chloe’s turn to roll her eyes. But still she passes by the scene with little commentary. 
The new base, far less conspicuous than at the bottom of a hotel where many employees could possibly stumble into, is clearly state of the art. The Agreste fortune put to good use, as much like the base before it’s a meeting place slash training room slash kitchen area. But now without the back room for temporary sleeping location. Still comfortable, and Max’s super computer setup is still cozy in the corner, but more… ‘this is a base for SUPERHEROES’ instead of ‘this is a really cool clubhouse for a bunch of scared teenagers’
Also there’s an entire wall that’s just lined with little areas for the Kwamis to hang out, a more put together version of the old Kwami hideaway that used to be in the rafters of the old base. 
In the center of a small ring of chairs and couches is at the moment a large map with various thumbtacks in various places, clearly a sort of color coded system to mark strange happenings.
Slowly people start to trickle in, varying levels of sleep deprivation, chief among them being Alya, who’s balancing two coffee cups on top of her laptop as she walks in, and Nino is walking just behind her in case of an emergency. 
Amber is seen in the kitchenette area getting a couple of coffee’s ready for others as she makes her own caffeinated monstrosity. Chloe making a disgusted face and pointedly taking from a different pot, clearly the decaffeinated one, and ends up settling down in a loveseat, when Luka joins her she throws her legs over his lap and leans in, clearly they’re still a couple.
As Marinette scans around the space, waiting until the last person trickles in, she counts heads. “Well with Sun Min and all of them still in Shanghai, that's... basically everyone” 
Despite the Kwamis having a wall for their hangout space, there were still rafters, it was a familiar thing for everyone, and it felt right to keep them, especially for how they could be useful in training. Or, in this instance…
“Shouldn’t you have more spacial awareness, Miss Ladybug?” The former member of the Old Order drops down from above, hanging by his legs until he’s in front of Marinette’s face; she trips over her feet and flops directly on top of both Adrien and Kagami, before glaring at the man. “A-Fei and Eun-ji wanted to stay behind in Shanghai, keep an eye on things, but updates are updates.”
Kim grins slightly and raises a hand for a high five, to which Sun Min heartily provides. 
But eventually everyone’s here, or everyone that CAN be here is here and Marinette calls the meeting into order. 
Basically, what we learn is an extrapolation on what we already knew. That the world has had a sort of ‘magical reset’ of a kind after Tsering Wan’s Total Destruction Combination and Gabriel’s Wish back to back. Essentially all dormant magical energies are beginning to resurface. And- as we all know, the Old Older were many in number, and from what little they’d figured out from the old masters there were undiscovered Miraculous in the western world that the Old Order had been explicitly planning on getting hold of.
Alix raises a hand and asks if they’re going to basically be globe trotting to keep an eye on things then, and Adrien makes a sort of ‘kind of’ gesture with his hand. “We’re going to have to start out small at first, there are a few magical phenomena we can fully confirm are Miraculouses and we’re definitely going to make sure we can get hold of those before the Old Order can start some sort of ‘second war’ or something, or at least make allies with those who found them first, but we don’t want to like- send someone all the way to Mexico and find out it’s just a chupacabra or something…”
So Marinette breaks down what they’ve found so far and can confirm. Turns out, not a lot. They only have two fully confirmed Miraculous. A superhero line that seemed to be passed on along generations in the United States, a city on the west coast called San Francisco, and strange sightings of an animal themed magic user in Tokyo.
Alya looks about to physically restrain herself from mentioning New York, though someone (Rose) points out the green thumbtack on the east coast of the US and Alya has to grab Nino’s shoulder and lightly scream into it to keep herself in order. 
“Green is for maybe, and Alya doesn’t have enough to work with beyond hearsay.” Marinette answered easily. 
“Sun Min, how’s Shanghai doing?”
“Not well.” He answers simply and while he was standing before he hops to sit on the arm of the couch. “We’re basically safeguarding the temple that the others left when they went to invade here and there’s only so many times A-Fei can put someone to sleep with Tranquii before it’s clear we need a new strategy. I’m… pretty sure they want to bring Miss Sancour into the old training grounds to try and get her into Tsering Wan’s old position, or at least fast track her into a higher ranked Warrior.”
“So she’s the one you think they gave the Scorpion to after Misso vanished with the others?”
“It wouldn’t surprise me. Either her or Master Lian.”
“Yeah, not exactly ideal…” Chloe huffed and Luka makes a small noise of agreement. 
A few things are decided there. Sun Min, Yun Eun-Ji and Wu Fei were going to need some backup eventually. And others were going to be sent toward investigations. Chloe and Amber were being assigned to San Francisco, Alya and Nino were to be on standby in case New York turns up anything, Adrien Marinette and Kagami would be investigating Tokyo, and Felix and Bridgitte would be heading back to Shanghai with Sun Min. Alix, Max, Kim, Rose, Juleka and Luka were all staying in Paris for sure to hold the fort, Luka in specific put in charge of the rest of them.
The group splits off into the usual smaller cliques, discussing their plans. Kitty Section has some recording work to do, a lot of the group are starting to consider university, and Alya is practically begging Max to let her use his computer to see if she can find any information on his system that her crummy laptop can’t (“Alya that’s not how it works” “She’s running on negative sleep, dude, she can’t hear you.”).
Watching everyone begin to make plans, Chloe on the phone with her father, Amber on the phone with an airport, and all of that good stuff, Kagami turns to the other two in ‘her party’ and asks if they’re both okay with this. She knows that she’s the only one of the three of them that speaks Japanese so…
Adrien lets out an excited “YES!” and while Marinette HAD been about to give a more measured response both her and Kagami jump and look at him. 
“Our first time trying out being a couple was with Marinette’s family in Shanghai! Now we get to be an established couple for YOUR family reunion! This is gonna be WILD!”
“More like One of you will be Kagami’s significant other and you’ll have to figure out some other excuse for the third one to be there too because a traditional family like Kagami’s won’t be down for polyamory-” Kim chimed in near immediately, only to get smacked once by Alix. “What? It’s true! I’ve got traditional family back in Ha Noi, they can be real fucking awful… Most still aren’t down for same sex relationships at ALL let alone ‘both of them at the same time’ relationships…”
“No Kim’s right, as much as that stings to say.” Kagami huffed. “We’re going to have to figure something out to tell my family if you two want to come with me…” 
“Well, would they be more pleased with a French boyfriend, or a French-Chinese girlfriend?” Marinette asks, and all three know the answer. 
“This is Adrien, my boyfriend and our mutual friend Marinette don’t ask any questions.” Kagami huffed through gritted teeth. “I already hate this.”
“Uggghhhh!” Adrien groaned and folded his arms. “How am I supposed to be allowed to be as lovey Dovey with Kagami as I please and not be allowed to show Marinette any love? This feels illegal.”
Marinette is already about as red as a tomato. Adrien’s playful pout becomes a wicked grin. “Though- you know what that might mean Kagami?” Kagami narrows her eyes and Adrien glances significantly at Marinette and she realizes what he’s getting at. 
“Perhaps I do… tell me anyway though…?”
“It just means that we’re gonna have to love Marinette EXTRA hard to make up for the time we’re gonna lose!”
“If you three are about to make out I would kindly ask that you get a goddamn room before we all have to vacate on our respective missions as soon as possible.” Chloe chimes out.
“Yeah I’m gonna puke” Alix agrees. 
It’s here that the cold open ends and the Miraculous World Theme begins. 
When the theme song ends and the episode resumes, we’ve skipped ahead to an airport, specifically the arrival bay of a Tokyo airport. Kenji and Tomoe are taking the lead, while the three heroes are in the back. Adrien and Marinette are both a bit more distracted, glancing out the windows at what they can gleam of the city from beyond them, while Kagami is keeping a firm grip on both their hands to keep them from falling behind. 
A car is waiting for the family outside, though a limo would be more accurate.
“I don’t understand how you two have so much energy after THAT much flying….” She mutters tiredly, to which Adrien responds first with a sort of ‘well duh’ tone “I’ve never been to JAPAN Kagami! This is crazy! Ooohhh how much free time do you think we’ll get? I wanna go to a ramen shop!”
“Honestly I really hope we can hit up Harajuku” Marinette agrees “I’ve always been fascinated by the fashion epicenter of the country…”
She blinks, looking between the two, before sighing. “After we’ve spoken to my grandparents, we can go sightseeing for a bit. Hopefully it won’t take too long.” 
Kenji takes that moment to swoop in, wrapping his arm around her shoulders. “It’s our grandparents. You know how this is going to go.” She winces. “Might want to rain check playing tour guide for tomorrow, Kagami.”
“That bad huh?” Marinette hummed. “Is it better or worse than hanging with my paternal grandpa?” and when Kagami AND Kenji both shoot her a ‘yikes’ sort of look she hummed. “Yeah That bad. Thought so.”
Adrien glances at the three of them, and then out the window. “I’m suddenly worried for whenever I meet my grandparents.” Sheltered boy is sheltered. 
But eventually the car pulls into a long line of traditional manors, walled off estates and such. And Marinette jokes that her maternal grandad would have a lot to say about all of THIS…
Soon they come to a stop in front of one. The Tsurugi family crest emblazoned on the door. And Kagami looks up to the front seat to see her mother tense up for a long moment, as if trying not to shudder. 
“We’re here, aren’t we?” she murmured and Kenji placed a hand on her shoulder. “Yeah. we’re here. Do you need me to stick nearby, Kaa-san?” 
Tomoe sighs, and from here on will be speaking exclusively in Japanese and subtitled. “I will be alright Kenji. Kagami! Get your friends ready. Leave the speaking to myself and your brother unless directly addressed.”
“Yes mother.” Kagami stiffens, and noticeably, her Japanese is a little more rough than her mother’s. After spending so long in France the language is eroding a bit. 
Marinette and Adrien both take a moment to squeeze her hands, and she relaxes, if only a little, taking in a deep breath before letting it out slowly. A faint smile is on her face as the three get out and follow the elder Tsurugis into the manor. 
As the doors open, Marinette looks a little pained, but drops her hand from Kagami’s, and folds her arms behind her back. The area is large and auspicious, a clearly perfectly manicured front area in the estate, perfect rock garden in the front. Tomoe is notably without her walking stick and is clutching to Kenji’s arm to lead her properly. 
Then they enter the estate and much like the outside it’s very traditionally put together, if ornate. Fancy vases and tapestries and the most perfectly put together tatami that Marinette notes that she feels inadequate just putting her shoes in the cubby…
Adrien laughs softly and says it’s the price of being rich… 
A maid of some kind greets the lot of them in the doorway, very stoic and serious and when Kenji offers his arm again for Tomoe she turns him down. “I still remember where everything is… assuming they haven’t changed things just to watch me bump into them…” the way Tomoe says this makes it sound like that was something her parents have done to her before.
Everyone notices when Kenji gently takes Tomoe and guides her away from a side table that she’d been about to walk into. 
As the lot of them move through the area they eventually come to the doors of a big room. Kenji takes a breath, smiles crookedly at the host of characters and murmurs a small “Follow me~” 
The door is slid open and Kenji’s grin dies immediately. Looking like an entirely different person as he does so. He, Tomoe, and Kagami all walk inside and greet the family patriarch in a traditional style. And Marinette and Adrien have to clumsily follow behind. 
The two, dressed almost like it was centuries earlier than present day, are unshaken. And much like before as they speak in japanese do so with subtitles.
“It’s wonderful to see you again, daughter. Kenji, Kagami, you’re both looking well.” Says Grandmother
“Though you may want to have your son relay to you the amount of people in your little group, Tomoe. It seems you have two stowaways with you.” States Grandfather
Kenji speaks up instead “Kagami’s boyfriend, Adrien Agreste, was requested to come, and as chaperone their mutual friend Cheng Xiuying was invited to join. The three of them were in the fencing club together in highschool, and all had top marks, though Kagami of course was in first place.”
The grandparents seem unmoved at the explanation but do accept it as good enough. Though grandma does notably raise a brow at Marientte’s fully Chinese name being laid out as such. 
“Chinese?”
“She was born in France but her mother is from Shanghai, Grandmother.”
“I see.”
Kenji presses on, though, while things seem amicable. “I assure you, the two only wished to see what Kagami’s home was like, and promised to remain upstairs during the reunion. Until the rest of the family arrives, would it be alright for her to show them around the local sights?” 
After some silent hemming and hawwing, Grandfather eventually raises a hand and sighs. “Children are rowdy. It’s best that they get their jitters out now.” 
Kenji sighs “thank you so much, I swear we’ll be VERY careful-”
“Kenji, you will stay here and assist your mother.” Grandmother responded, clipped. “You know how clumsy she can be.”
Tomoe grits her teeth, and Kenji’s brows furrow but he responds with a soft “yes grandmother.”
He looks back at Kagami and nods and she stands and gives one more bow and a “I will see you both this evening.” to her grandparents before all but rushing out the door with Marinette and Adrien at her heels.
No one speaks until they’ve left the house and are on the streets. And it’s Adrien that speaks up first before anyone else, resting a hand on Kagami’s shoulder and squeezing it gently. “You going to be alright, Kagami?”
Marinette, her eyes darting back at the manor as if expecting to see one of grandparents stepping through it at any moment, settles for standing close by to her partners, hands clenched into fists behind her back. “Do you want to go back?” 
“Not at all,” Kagami responds immediately in Japanese, and both of her partners blink, and she speaks in French this time. “That… I’m not alright, and I don’t want to go back there, even though I’m worried about Kenji. There is a reason neither of us were that thrilled at coming here.”
Adrien and Marinette share a glance, before the latter speaks up. “Well, then let’s go on that tour! I still want to see some of the stores and look at the different clothes they offer, and we should grab something to eat before Adrien wastes away.” 
“Hey!” 
Her joke has the intended effect, though. Even as Adrien pouts, Kagami smiles; it’s faint, but it’s still there. And she gestures for the two to follow her as they head down the street. 
We see a quick montage of general ‘exploring Tokyo’ vibes, the lot of them getting food, Adrien seen absolutely HORKING down a tonkotsu ramen bowl, Marinette exploding with excitement at the mannequins in the shop windows. Kagami is translating things for either of them, and while she’s clearly a little off still, by the time the lot of them have done enough general ‘things we wanted to do’ things, and they transform, Kagami is feeling MUCH more comfortable. 
The lot of them take to the sky, swinging and pole vaulting and riding the wind as the three of them would. 
“So remind me how we’re supposed to be tracking this supposed Miraculous wielder down?” Chat Noir wonders, then adds on “and remind me why we’re so sure they ARE a miraculous wielder and not just a bug themed supervillain?”
“The bug themed villain is seen only for brief windows of about five minutes, implying they hide until they use their power and then clean up their mess in the time they’ve got left.”Ladybug reads off her Yoyo
“So we’re looking for a teenager.” Ryuko surmises.
“Or someone who just hasn’t grown into their power yet, Remember what Sun Min said about magical maturity not being directly proportional to age.” Chat Noir points out. “And these sightings line up with disappearances?”
“Yup. Last one reported was in…” Ladybug points in a certain direction and the lot of them follow. 
There’s a sort of noir vibe as the investigating begins, certain ways of gathering information such as searching for fingerprints not quite as viable since the last spotted disappearance was in a public park, but still the heroes try their best, even running into a police officer and finding out that they have very little to work on. 
The cop recognizes them for their work in Paris and allows the three to come back to the police station to help investigate a little upon their shared suspicions that this serial kidnapper was using one of their magical items, likely stolen. 
Kagami is of course taking point since while the Miraculouses CAN translate easier while transformed, she IS the native speaker and is more familiar with cultural norms. When the team reaches the police station and are given a talk with the chief, he hands over the incident reports and witness accounts with little fuss.
The cop apparently said there was little to no hope for this whole thing and they were going to simply stamp it as supervillain activity and store it away with other supervillain things, but if some heroes can get on it maybe it won’t be a blemish on their precinct. 
Paging through the reports it’s clear that eyewitnesses have a very strange through line, that the person being kidnapped, very CLEARLY kidnapped at that, was always elated to see their kidnapper, one even saying something about ‘true love’ as they were swept away, wandering about until they were grabbed as if drugged or in a daze. 
But before they can investigate much further an alarm beeps on Kagami’s sword and she swears softly, it seems they’re out of time. 
The lot of them nod between each other and thank the chief for the time and information before taking off. 
The three eventually arrive back at Tsurugi estates just in time for the last of the relatives to arrive, And Marinette pointedly takes a step back away from the others as one of Kagami’s Aunties greets her at the gates. Though she looks between the girl and her ‘friends’ before sniffing. 
“Bit of a Wild Child Tomoe’s raised…” she hums idly. “But i hope your friends enjoy their stay as well.”
Kagami sighs. “Nice to see you again too auntie.” she responds.
As we cut inside, it seems dinner is being made, and Marinette raises a brow when an uncle in stumbling french asks if she should be out of the kitchen right now and Kagami all but grits out that Xiuying is their GUEST, uncle, where’s your hospitality?
An auntie says that Adrien is pretty cute for a European boy, but Kenji have YOU had any luck so far? If they had to give his plus one to Adrien and Kagami’s Chaperone, then clearly HE didn’t have a date-
Kenji coughs into his tea and apologizes softly- we slide him over to the side to see in flashback Kenji all but begging Gavroche to NOT come with him. 
“My partner had other obligations to attend to. I’d never get between them and their passions.” 
The tension in the room begins to get more and more cloying as the relatives alternate between Kenji and Kagami, that they’re both not ACTING right anymore and Tomoe was moving away really the right decision for how your children are turning out?
Perhaps it would be best for the two of them to come to Japan so they can be straightened out.
And it was here, that one of Kagami’s partners decided to cut in. 
Marinette leans forward and, while her voice still remains polite and cheerful, begins a massive tirade about how Kagami is turning out WONDERFULLY thank you very much. And so is Kenji. Tomoe’s done a WONDERFUL job with them and she’s HONORED to have Kgami in her life actually. Just because Kagami wants to stay in Paris, and not study in japan, and she’s a FENCING master instead of an eastern style and she’s dating a white boy instead of a Japanese boy doesn’t mean that she’s FAILING just because she doesn’t meet THEIR standards of success!
“I don’t see any of YOU with kids in this little ‘family reunion’ anyway so who are all of you to judge?”
Marinette of course was speaking French for all of this. So other than catching a few names it was clear most people didn’t really understand WHAT she was saying until-
“Kagami if your Chinese friend can’t behave in a civilized manner would you mind escorting her to the courtyard?” Grandma speaks up and Kagami is a little busy staring at Marinette with hearts in her eyes to do so so Adrien gets up and gently takes Marinette’s arm and starts to guide her out. 
Kagami does in fact stumble to her feet as well and while Marinette is clearly regretting absolutely nothing, Adrien does look a little nervous. And it shows because as they walk the more it seems Kagami comes back to herself and realizes what a NOT cool thing that actually was. By the time they actually make it outside she’s pinching her temples and wondering how Marinette even KNEW what they were talking about detransformed. Tikki sheepishly pokes her head out from Marinette’s hair and guiltily admits that it was… probably her.
As if to prevent Tikki from taking all the blame, Plagg also peeks out from his own hiding place on Adrien’s person to say he’d been helping his charge not get too lost in the discussions as well. 
Longg from his own place within the folds of Kagami’s kimono peeks out and huffs that they’re both FAR too sentimental.
The three of them begin to wander passing through the estate and gardens until they’re eventually chilling just barely outside of the property lines. And Marinette finally says that she just-... she’s not allowed to BE Kagami’s partner here, and it’s clear that her family has ‘expectations’ for her since she’s… you know… ‘not the right kind of east asian’ or something, and- and time and again Kagami has shown her loyalty, her bravery and skill and how she’d move MOUNTAINS for either of them, how could Marinette NOT want to sing her praises until the sun rose?
“She’s right, I was about this close-” Adrien pinches his fingers very close together “to fighting an old man myself.”
Then after a moment of looking at the two girls adds on “do you… want me to give you guys some alone time? I still feel really bad for the whole ‘can’t be with Marinette around them’ thing… maybe it’ll help…?”
And after a moment of the two girls glancing at each other then back to Adrien he adds on “I can try and recover whatever face we just lost with Kenji as interpreter…?”
“I’d appreciate that, thanks.” Kagami agreed softly. And after a moment Marinette grins a bit wanly. 
“Good luck, meow mix.”
Adiren gives both of them a couple of good luck smooches before waving and vanishing back through the gate. 
“...I will admit this is both going better and worse than I expected it to…” Kagami observes softly and Marinette snorts. 
“What? Did you think I’d be perfectly behaved and Adrien would be the trouble maker?” Kagami looked at her for a very long moment and Marinette realized she really did. A small ‘ah’ coming out at that discovery. 
“I….appreciate your defense Marinette, I really, truly do. But- this isn’t Paris. You can’t just threaten to fight my grandfather like you did Adrien’s father. He won’t find your gumption charming. He’s very much from the old world, he’ll be VERY upset at the very idea.And with his influence he could ruin any chances you’d have of an international label…”
“You’re going to need to apologize. And… not mention being a fashion designer around them anymore. Let their stereotypes work for you so you won’t have to reveal anything. Your family is… absolutely wonderful from what I spent with them, but they’re very much different from mine.”
Marinette sighs. “I just want to protect you…” But after another long pause eventually nods her head. 
Kagami places her hand on Marinette’s shoulder and pulls her in close. Though just as they’re both about to head back inside there’s a flash of black.
And Plagg floating alone with his ring. 
“There’s been a kitten-napping!”
We cut back to the inside of the Tsurugi estate, things had settled into an awkward silence as everyone sips at tea and nibbles on snacks. Kenji looks into his tea for a long moment. 
“May I ask why?” “You seem to be doing alright for yourself Kenji.” Grandma huffs around her own cup. “But that girl is a wild child and she needs to be tamed. It’s clear our Tomoe isn’t up for the task.” Tomoe clenches her fists into her kimono. “So it’s up to your grandfather and I. The Tsurugi family needs a PROPER heir. And if you insist on staying in France then the girl is our only hope.”
But just before either Kenji or Tomoe could maybe say something about it, the door bursts open, this time with a frantic Kagami. 
“Adrien has been kidnapped and we have reason to believe it was by the person that’s BEEN kidnapping people in town recently.”
Marinette is still speaking French of course, but as she does so Kagami translates. 
“Xiuying says she saw what looked like a dart go through the air and it hit Adrien in the back. Before she could even ask if he was alright a figure in what looked to be-” she looked to Marinette. “You said a firefly themed outfit?” At Marinette’s nod Kagami translates that as well “A firefly outfit swooped in and stole him away. We have reason to believe-”
“That’s impossible!” One of the uncles calls out “Tsurugi estate has been one of the most protected estates in all of Japan for Centuries. Girl, your friend has clearly run her mouth. Typical Chinese behavior.” The uncle can barely get the insult from his mouth before a fencing saber zips through the air and pins his sleeve to the table. 
“Where were you keeping that…?” Marinette mumbles in shock before Kagami hisses out 
“You will keep your prejudice against my girlfriend to yourself, uncle. Or I will MAKE you silent. Time and Again my brother, mother and I have done everything in our power to win your approval. An approval that clearly we will never receive if your abysmal behavior is indicative of anything.”
Already there was whispering, hushed voices from all of the extended family at the display from the youngest of Tomoe’s kids. The patriarch and matriarch both were looking at each other and then at Tomoe with a clear look of ‘we told you so,’ though it was, of course, lost on their daughter. Before anything further could be said, Kenji rose to his feet. All of the whispering stopped, and the grandparents were looking pleased, as if he were going to prove their point of him doing the best of the youngest generation. 
The uncle in question had almost managed to get the fencing saber out of the table, and Kenji approached, giving the man his best smile as he knelt down, gripped the saber by the hilt, and dug it even deeper into the table. 
Everyone stared as he stood back up and joined his sister and her girlfriend by the entrance, placing a hand on each of their shoulders. “Where did you last see him?” 
Kagami, after a moment of watching in the shock that was the lot of them ‘acting up’ as it were, spoke again. “He was in the courtyard, he- he said that he was going to help you with the whole… ‘handling everything’ business.” After a moment, Kagami raises her hand, her fingers gripped around something tightly. “Will you help us?”
Kenji’s eyes widen for a moment but he smiles, and takes his hand off of Kagami’s shoulder to place it over her hand. And with the deftness of a million card tricks, takes the offered ring and slips it on his finger, Plagg zipping between them and burying into Kenji’s yukata. “Of course I will, little sister, let’s go.”
But just as he’s about to herd the girls to the door a loud BANG comes as grandfather’s hand slams down onto the table. 
“If you value your branch of this family at all, boy, you’ll stay right here. You too, girl.”
“Actually-” Tomoe cuts in. “I believe my son and daughter are about to go look for someone that’s been kidnapped by a supervillain. If they manage it they’d be heroes since the police haven’t had any leads on the source of these kidnappings since they began. And because said kidnapping this time happened on OUR family’s property, not taking care of it ourselves would make it seem like not just A Tsurugi, but ALL Tsurugis are helpless. Something I’m sure you wouldn’t want people to think about beyond your… shamefully blind daughter, would it, father?”
Grandfather hesitates, and Tomoe stands carefully, after a moment, reaching out a hand which Kagami takes to gently guide her. “Your grandchildren have both accomplished FAR more than you’ll ever know father. If requiring aid makes one weak, then there isn’t a strong person in this room.” The lot of them are uncontested as they head for the doors. 
Until Tomoe stops them right before exiting. “And her name is Kagami. Call her ‘girl’ again and you’ll see how well I can still navigate the world, father.”
When the four figures are standing in the courtyard again Tomoe sighs softly. “Thank you, Marinette. I’ll admit after a certain point in my life it became far harder to stand against them… You’re a good match for my daughter. Just as Adrien is.” Marinette blushes but thanks Tomoe for her words right back. And Kagami is pointedly NOT blushing but also not looking at her mother at all no siree not even a little bit. Tomoe’s grin turns serious quickly. “But now it’s time for you all to be listening to me. As our situation isn’t one that can easily be corrected. If I heard you all speaking so pointedly yet vaguely correctly, you were able to Secure Adrien’s magical object?”
“Yes ma’am. Plagg is safe.”
“Good.” she nods. “Now, I’m going to inform the police, you all should leave now. Track his whereabouts. And take this kidnapper down before he can do anything to your boy.”
Kagami smiles softly. “Yes ma’am. And… thank you mother.” 
Tomoe smiles and then pulls out her phone. “Alright Sirena, call the police.” 
Kenji pauses for a moment as he looks down at the ring, and Plagg gives him a nervous glance. But he nods. “Alright Let’s do this.”
The three hurry away from the manor before any of the family can come out and try and “talk sense” into them, and once it seems safe enough, the three transform, and take to the rooftops. With a birds-eye view now accessible, it’s more obvious to see a strange glow in the direction that Plagg had claimed Adrien had been taken away in. 
Upon a closer inspection, the glow was from a goo-like substance, giving off a bioluminescence, and it went on for a good long while. With a shared nod between the girls, Ryuuko shifts to wind form and shoots off after the trail, Ladybug and Kenji returning to the rooftops to keep an eye out for the mysterious figure dressed like a firefly as they followed after her. 
For a while, that’s how it goes, following the trail that the Miraculous user seemed to leave, likely by accident, until they finally spot a head of blond hair. He’s moving sluggishly, with stumbling footsteps, almost like he’s in a trance. Ladybug jumps down as Ryuuko returns to a human form. Each of them grab him by one shoulder to try and halt his marching. From this close, they can see an odd glassiness in his eyes, and they share a look of concern. 
“Adrien!” Ryuuko calls out, keeping her grip firm on his shoulder, but he continues to try and walk, pushing against the girls. “Do you remember where you are right now?” 
“Huh…?” The blonde turns to the girls, and blinks sluggishly, like he’s sleepwalking and hasn’t quite woken up yet. Still his face contorts into a sort of frustration. “Leave me alone…” he murmurs and tries to shake off Ryuuko’s hand. But she keeps a firm grip. “I gotta go…”
“Where are you going, Adrien.” Ryuuko demands in a short, clipped voice. 
Adrien scoffs, strangely coldy, even for the fact that he’s clearly being controlled right now. “I just gotta Go… Leave me alone we’re breaking up.”
Kagami blinks, the sudden declaration hitting her off guard.
Ladybug glances at Kagami’s shocked expression, and tightens her own grip on Adrien’s other shoulder. “Adrien, you know you don’t mean that. You need to snap out of this.” She takes a moment to look over his shoulder at Kenji, and mouths a quick ‘search for anything that looks out of place.’ before slipping her free hand into her girlfriend’s and squeezing it. 
Adrien is properly glaring now, though the hazy look in his eye still makes it feel duller. “No I do! I found my true love and I gotta break up with you guys! Don’t be bitter, Marinette let me go…!” 
Ladybug clenches her jaw a little. Clearly upset but also clearly handling it decently okay, Kagami looks… none too hot chief. Her gaze had darted away and she looked like she did earlier when her grandparents were berating her.
The blonde makes one more attempt to brute force past them, and this time, with the state of discomfort Kagami is in, she does stumble back. Before anything else can happen, a gloved and clawed hand deftly plucks a dart out of Adrien’s neck, initially hidden by his hair, and his eyes snap wide open, wider than before, then shut. He drops forward like a sack of potatoes into the girls’ arms. 
“Found it!” Kenji chirps, inspecting the dart in his hand. “Guess we know what the weapon is for this Miraculous, huh?” 
Kagami still looks pale and a bit distant, but her eyes clenched shut and she murmurs. “Just mind control, just mind control.” a couple of times to herself. 
And around there Adrien begins to wake up. He doesn’t quite get his legs under him at first, but he’s pressed up against Ladybug and Ryuuko and he’s clearly aware of this. After a beat murmuring. “Did I die and go to heaven?”
“He’s fine.” Ladybug says succinctly, and steps to the side, nudging Ryuuko further to the other side, and the blonde crashes to the ground. “Does that feel like heaven, Adrien?” 
“Nooooo” he moans from the ground, face smooshed against the road.
With a roll of her eyes, she helps Adrien get back to his feet properly, and he at least has the decency to blush a little. “What do you remember from when you were out of it?” 
Adrien grips a hand to his head and pinches his eyes shut as he thinks about it. “I mean… kinda..? I felt like I was in a dream. I think I WAS half dreaming because I could have sworn I saw a black haired Chat Noir-”
“Heyo” Kenji leans in. “If it makes you feel better, I haven’t picked out a name, but I don’t plan on using yours.” 
“I’m going back to sleep.” 
“NO.” Both girls state in unison, and Adrien holds up his hands. “Kidding, kidding. But… Yeah I remember it, kind of. But like in a ‘it's a dream you go along with anything when you’re dreaming’ type way…” He thought for a second and his eyes went wide. “....I didn’t mean it! I SUPER didn’t mean it! Whatever that dart did I DID NOT MEAN IT KAGAMI MARINETTE I’D NEVER BREAK UP WITH YOU GUYS LIKE EVER!” He immediately properly threw his arms around either of their necks and Kagami looked away with a small grin. “ESPECIALLY SINCE I KNOW HOW SCARED YOU ARE OF REJECTION KAGAMI”
“Nevermind, I’m breaking up with you specifically, actually. Come on Marinette we’re leaving.”
She does not, however, make any move to pull away from Adrien’s sudden hug. 
Then, after a beat Kenji looks over the dart, then back to Adrien, and sticks him with it again. “OW!” “KENJI WHAT THE HELL?”
“You still feel like you’re in a dream?” Adrien blinks, and takes stock of himself. 
“...no… actually I don't… I guess it’s a one time thing..?”
Ladybug holds a hand to her mouth in thought. “...I can work with this.” She answered after a beat. 
From here we follow the kids, as Adrien tries to get back into character as the sleepwalking lovestruck thing he was before. He distantly remembered the directions he was given and thankfully is able to stumble in the general right direction
He’s welcomed by someone else, a random young woman about Adrien’s age, a dart sticking out of her arm as she gestures for him to come in. and be quiet. She looks Adrien over and says that he’s still ‘cooking’ that it’s alright. If he keeps their beloved’s sweetest gift within his system it’ll become decorative soon enough. 
Adrien of course doesn’t speak Japanese, so we’re only finding this out through subtitles as he’s escorted in. 
Thankfully, they’ve got ears inside the walls as Adrien had been slipped the staff and it’s currently on in a call, the other end playing out through Ladybug’s Yoyo, the magic of the transformation acting as a translator for her right now. 
As the woman shows Adrien around ‘his new home’ she extolls about the virtues of being ‘their beloved’s loves’ and how it’s a constant state of euphoria when their beloved’s truth sets in. How their beloved he’ll find is just so so easy to listen to and devote one’s self to, you might even forget your name by the time it’s nice and set in for how distant the rest of the world becomes! It’s okay if you do forget though, their beloved is absolutely wonderful with coming up with names!
Adrien is REALLY glad that he does not have the magic transformation translations right now because the cheerful way the lady is talking combined with the estate’s sort of ‘communal living’ setup, combined with the people all around him looking half dazed half blissed out… It's pretty obvious what this is.
This guy’s made a cult.
The others seemed to realize, too, given the way that Ladybug’s gripping the yo-yo maybe a bit too tightly, and Kenji’s got a firm grip on Ryuuko’s arm as if he’d be able to keep her from jumping into the building even if she shifted into wind form. But they remain in their hiding spot, waiting for the Miraculous user to arrive before making their own appearance. 
Adrien sluggishly, as if he’s still in trance asks in halting, barely accurate sounding japanese “where is he?”
The woman informs him that their beloved is due to return home soon, now, asks Adrien to sit down where she can properly explain the tale of their beloved. She calls out, and several others spring into motion to sort of herd Adrien into a sitting group with the rest of them, and the woman begins a spiel. Says that their beloved was unlucky in love for the longest time, rejected by all of society for his intelligence and individuality were deemed socially inferior. Called a friendless otaku he was cast aside by the world. 
But then one day, he was visited by a god. The god of love. No, not the one you know. A better one. A new one. And with the abilities granted to him by the true love god, he was able to spread the love to everyone around him. And they all each and every one of them love him in turn for the truth he has given them. 
For he has ascended his mortal binds, he is love itself and how could one do anything but adore such a thing? Going on to explain that she herself was once a classmate of his. One of the first he showed the truth of. She’d been blind to his divinity before, and had foolishly turned him down when he’d asked her out, but she was so deeply thankful that he had shown her the truth, allowed her the chance of redemption. And she served that redemption by taking all those that drew their beloved’s eye into the truth with them. So they may all show their love and be happy.
And just as she begins to finish up, a voice calls out “Telling stories Hiromi-chan?” the girl, Hiromi apparently, sighs dreamily and the entire cult begins to swarm for the door. 
A tall lanky boy about Adrien’s age stood there, as expected, in a firefly themed hero costume. His face is riddled with acne scars and he’s at the point where he shouldn’t be growing facial hair but is trying anyway. An all around awkward young adult that hadn’t really hit his stride yet.
As everyone fawns over the guy Adrien lingers near the back. He DID remember this guy, as we can see in a hazy ‘from a trance’ flashback he DID remember being swept up by the firefly after getting hit with a dart and thinking himself in love with the punk, and how he’d whispered instructions into his ear, and Adrien’s very shaky grasp on Japanese had barely been enough to understand the directions he’d been given but he had. “I DO have another lover on the way my dear sweet ones!” the firefly coos out, caressing someone’s cheek, booping another’s nose. 
“He’s already here Beloved!” Hiromi announces. “He’s still cooking!”
“No not him Hiromi-chan you stupid little thing…” Firefly sighs and Hiromi giggles as if he was flirting with him. “A bank teller. It’s not easy keeping so many beautiful little things afloat without anyone working, but our new lover Yuki will have us arranged for a NICE long while~”
As the Firefly goes through the others he gives sometimes personalized compliments, sometimes clear insults, and the people there were giggling and sighing as if some of the vile things out of his mouth were the most romantic. When he finally reaches Adrien the Firefly reaches down and grabs his chin so he was looking at him. 
“A foreign beauty… I’ve seen your commercials. Back when you would do them. Your brand did well in Kyoto for a while when I was growing up… Adrien, right?”
Adrien (as seen in a little ‘inner adrien’ bubble behind him) is SUPER grossed out by the hold but nods when he hears his name. “I don’t understand what you’re saying you creepy son of a bitch~” he sighs out in French. 
But the Miraculouses translate, as we know.
“Excuse me?”
“GUYS NOW!” Adrien yanks away and kicks at the firefly’s hand to knock him off him.
The ceiling crashes down, and Ryuuko is directly in front of Adrien, her sword drawn and aimed at the Firefly’s neck, just under his chin. “Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t hurt you for messing with my boyfriend’s head.”
Ladybug lands down beside Adrien, her yo-yo spinning around at her side as she looks Adrien over. “He didn’t hurt you or anything, right?” 
“No, I’m fine.” He answers, passing the baton to Kenji as he lands behind them. “Keep him busy, I’ll get the others out of here.” 
Kenji nods and twists the baton, it lightens to about the length of a kendo sword and he grins at the Firefly wildly. 
From here we see in quick flashes of a fight. As Firefly calls on his cult to defend him, Kenji is able to disarm several easily, Ladybug able to restrain more, and Adrien is readily following behind them taking darts out of body parts.
And then you hear a loud ‘thump’ and a cry.
And Kagami has just punched Firefly square in the face. And he’d gone down immediately.
“Release them!” she grabs him by the collar of his outfit. “Release them or I’ll blacken the other eye.”
“OKAY OKAY!”
“We’re giving her extra cuddles when we get home, yeah?” “Oh definitely.” “GOD she looks good doing that” “It’s truly the act of evil to have convinced me to try and leave a woman like that.”
After the… hilariously anticlimactic battle, and one of the kids calling Tomoe to get the cops sent in, Kagami was able to yank off the miraculous, revealing it to be a small broach that while hidden appears as a heart, but when active unfolds into a clover.
The Kwami that arises from it is, of course, a firefly themed Kwami.
"Hiya! I'm Amooru!"
She is the aspect of love, and you can tell that she is because she’s IMMEDIATELY cozying up to the other heroes. Happily settling into Kenji’s hand as she spoke about her powers with minimum prompting. 
Her power ‘Infatuation’ can do exactly as stated and create a feeling of infatuation that can either be granted to a pair of people, or on one person toward the ‘next person they saw’ and her old wielder, her dear Masashi, was just SO bereaved of love that he went too far, and- well she couldn’t DENY him anything! She loved him so so much! So she sort of… was straining herself a bit past her limits to let him keep the transformation up and getting multiple people at once and… making the effects last longer…
He had such a sweet face she couldn’t help herself! Amooru admits that she’d been straining herself to such a degree that her Miraculous nearly broke… so she supposed it’s for the best that they found her but… she’d miss her Masashi…
All four adults look at each other and immediately think “we cannot let the Order get her.”
Kenji, since she was in his hand, gently reached up and nudges the kwami’s face with a finger. “Hey little one… you should probably take a break, huh? I know you were fond of Masashi,” 
“Even though he was a sexist creep that love potioned a small army worth of people because he felt entitled to a relationship and didn’t think to realize it was because he was an extremely unpleasant person to be around not because of his physical state” Marinette flatly cuts in
“-BUT he wasn’t treating you very well if he was working to make you feel so strained that you almost got hurt…”
“No no- I'm fine.” Amooru broke her words with a yawn, as she stopped floating and settled into Kenji’s palm to take a nap. “I’ll be fine… I just need… do you have any watermelon…?”
“We’re gonna need to make a stop at a corner store before we head back home..” Kenji observed with the little god in his hand before offering her to Marinette, who gently takes the pin and the Kwami and tucks her in close and the broach onto her lapel. It turns into a simple broach upon doing so, flower shaped like the design on her shirt
Kenji properly returns Plagg to Adiren whom begins rapidly apologizing for ditching his little guy, Plagg huffs and puffs but bops himself onto Adrien’s forehead saying he’s glad his dumbest stinkiest kitten ever is okay.
On the walk home, corner store watermelon in hand Kenji states very idly that he’s glad that there’s a corner store nearby the estates. 
“For trips later in the week?” Adrien wonders.
“For… when I have to stay here..” he responds. After a long silence Kagami shouts a “WHAT?!”
“Yeah- ahaha-” Kenji’s clearly trying to keep it light. And even more clearly failing. “So Grandma and Grandpa want me to stay so they can train a real heir out of me, they said you’re a lost cause and all and so they don’t want to bother but there’s time worth saving in me or whatever so it’d just be the better option to just go with it, you know? I’m an adult. I can probably just get an apartment near whatever university I convince them to let me go to…”
“Kenji what are you talking about-” Kagami darts from her place in the group to stand between Kenji and the rest of them. “Why would you just GO with that? What about Gavroche?!”
“Gavroche can deal- he knows my family is important. But- the Old Order knows most of you guys are still based in Paris. They’re going to come back. You guys need to have as many STAYING there to meet them as you can. I know a bunch of you guys are off and on missions and junk, but you gotta have enough people staying where they expect or they’ll just start gunning it for Shanghai again, right? And those three probably can’t hold the temple like they are with full concentrated force on them.”
Kagami is pissed, she super doesn’t buy this. But she huffs and marches back to the others and angrily latches onto Marinette’s arm.
“They threatened to send me here. He’s doing that stupid older sibling thing where he’s an unending martyr for no good reason. I’m going to kill him.”
Adrien reaches over and gives Kagami a gentle head pap. “‘S okay ‘gami, me and Bugaboo were talking while you were yelling and we’ve got an idea.”
But soon enough they were back at the estates, Kenji waits until the others file in, only to stumble on his own step inside behind the rest. 
“What…?” he feels around in the pocket of one of his yukata sleeves and pulls out Amooru and the broach she comes with. He looks back up at the group and they’re all grinning cheekily back at him. “Call it a parting gift!” Marinette chirps. 
“Maybe get your family to actually start caring about each other!” Adrien adds on. 
“Come on Kenji, we have more relatives to ruin our reputation in front of.” 
Kenji rolls his eyes and laughs, catching up with the lot of them.
