Blue had used most of her day cleaning their apartment, and taking some small naps here and there. Being pregnant really did take a lot of her energy. Her final task for the day before her teammates normally comes home is going grocery shopping for tonight's dinner. She felt a small kick from her stomach which made her stop for a short moment. She looked down at her round stomach and smiled warmly, before rubbing it with her free hand. "It won't be long until we finally get to meet you" she said towards her stomach. Something popped in her head and she looked at the city's clocktower and noticed that it's the time that Fanny normally would be home. She smiled and looked back down at her stomach "how about we go home, your mother must be home already waiting for us" she said with a little giggle in the end. Continuing on her way home.
When she finally appeared in front of the front door, she tried to open it, but to her surprise it was locked. Wait Fanny never locks the door when she's home she thought, she took her free hand in her pocket fishing up the house keys. Maybe she went for a run before dinner. She continued to herself, unlocking the door and went into the apartment. She went to the kitchen to set down her bag of groceries, and put them on the counter. Blue had been thinking about making some curry for dinner, since she knew both Fanny and Blackie enjoyed it. She started with preparing the ingredients and putting them in a pot. All she let it stay on a low heat so all she had to do now was wait for the others.
The haired girl went to the living room, but when she just entered the entrance of the room, she was shocked. The wisteria bonsai she had got from Fanny was wilted and as she could see from it dead. She could not believe it, she had just gotten it, and it looked just perfect the other day. Besides, she had been taking good care of it the whole time. She stood there for a moment, until her eyes widened in worry. She quickly went to the kitchen and turned off the heat before she went for the door. I always learned, when something like this happens it only means something bad... Besides, Fanny has not come home yet... She had too many thoughts in her mind that she did not notice Blackie in front of her, so the Blue haired ended up walking into the black haired girl. "Blue what's going on?" said Blackie with a worried expression, she noticed Blue had the same expression along with desperation. The blue haired girl looked up at her teammate before taking her hand "I'm afraid that something might have happened to Fanny!" small tears were starting to peek from the girl's eyes. This alerted the other girl and she nodded.
They started to run around the city asking the people if they had seen their last teammate anywhere. Though none had anything useful or helpful to answer. Blue was starting to panic, which Blackie could feel. Though the black haired girl was not so sure how to comfort her correctly so she just walked up to the other. "Don't worry Blue I'm sure we're gonna find her" she said trying to calm down the blue haired girl. No response came from the other, she just kept walking ignoring everything but her own thought that was only telling her it's too late or keep going.
They went to a small market area where they asked an old lady if they had seen their partner by description. The old woman apologized and said she had seen anyone. Blue nodded her head slowly, losing her hope. Suddenly she felt something touching her hand and she looked down at a little girl with a worried expression. Blue kneeled down to the girls level and gave a small smile "what can I do for you young woman?" she said, hiding her sad tone behind a facade. The girl looked at the girl before opening her mouth to respond. "I've seen a girl like that! She saved me from bad people!" she said. Blue eyes widened by the words. "Where did you see her?" she asked the little girl again. The girl looked behind her and pointed and explained that they were outside the city. Blue hugged the little girl, and thanked her many times, before taking off with Blackie right behind her. The girl looked at the girl in surprise and gave a small smile, before she heard a man calling her name "Coming Runi!" she yelled and went with the man.
The two spies were finally out of town, though Blackie almost was out of breath; she noticed Blue wasn't stopping anytime soon. Not until she had found Fanny. Blackie was starting to fall behind the other, until she noticed Blue stopped, which made the other slow down. "Blue, why did you stop?" she asked before she got the answer herself. She watched in horror something she did want to see, and never could have imagined. She was frozen in place, not being able to feel anything "No way that's...-"
"FAAAAAANNNNNYYYYY!!!" came a pained scream of the blue haired girl that collapsed in front of the dead body of their teammate Fanny in a poodle of her own blood. No way Fanny... It can't be... was the only thoughts the black haired girl could think of. Meanwhile Blue was feeling too many feelings at the moment, denial, disbelief, shock and deep sadness. She grabbed the body and tried to shake her awake like she was asleep. "Wake up Fanny! This isn't funny at all!!" she cried out, but no response could be heard which only made it worse for the other. She laid the body down. The tears never stopped falling and she was overwhelmed with emotions. "WHY DID YOU HAVE TO GO WHY YOU!" she kept screaming, punching the ground hard.
Finally Blackie was able to move herself, and she went to hug her friend who was deeply in despair. Blue gripped Blackie's jacket afraid of letting go she just cried in her embrace. Blackie looked at the body and could not hold it in anymore herself, and tears fell from her cheeks. The two girls just sat there in each other's embrace as some kind of comfort for each other for their lost friend and lover.
A tragic day for the spies from Team Hikari, and another spider lily have bloomed.
