[QUOTE=Nanya01;3257326]*Ahem* One part left after this one.
Spoiler for Due Part 5:
"Damn it!" Nove cursed as the winds picked up and forced her to put some goggles over her eyes to keep the snow and wind out of her face. "DUE!"
Beside her, Deed was using her blades as a glow stick so they could see better. The younger cyborg was incredibly worried as she and Nove ran through the streets. "I can't believe Due would run off like that." Deed shivered as a gust of wind blew snow off the ground and pelted the both of them with enough snow that they were white-washed in only a second. "I'm glad Cinque called us." Deed commented as the two wiped off the snow.
Nove nodded, but she was still so worried. "And tonight of all nights!"
(---)
"Due!" Otto called out as she and Wendi checked alley after alley. "Due!"
"Come on! Due!" Wendi called out for her sister. "We'll get some hot chocolate!" Her voice was wavering slightly. "Where is she?!"
Otto shook her head, the sun had already set and there were fewer people out, but it didn't make it any easier.
(---)
"This is all my fault." Cinque said as she and Zafira ran down the streets. "If only I hadn't taken her to see them!"
"Now isn't the time to blame yourself." He commented to her. "Save the blame for after we find her." He chanced a glance at her snow-covered face, and mentally sighed at the worried look on her face. "You called everyone you could to help, that's all you could do. We'll find her."
She nodded at the blue and white wolf, thankful for his help in this. "Is that?!" She ran forward and pulled on something sticking out of the snow. "Due's scarf..."
"We'll find her." Zafira told her as they doubled their efforts.
A screen popped up in front of them, revealing Sein's face. "Any luck?"
"No." Cinque shook her head. "I found Due's scarf."
Sein nodded. "I'll keep looking on the north end." Both Zafira and Cinque could see the snow sticking to Sein's face and the way her teeth were chattering.
"Sein, are you sure?"
She nodded at them. "Don't worry, Dieci's here with me and Subaru and Ginga are searching as well. We'll find Due."
"I hope so..." Cinque looked at the scarf and squeezed it tightly. "Due... Where are you?"
(---)
She ran, she stumbled, she cried when her scarf slipped off her neck and flew away in the wind. "Why?" She cried out to no one in particular. "Why?! I'm Due! I know I'm Due!" Getting up on her feet, she continued to run forward and slipped as she ran across some ice. "AAAAH!" She found herself sliding uncontrollably towards the street.
Falling to her knees, she sobbed and pushed herself to her feet, stumbling, since the snow was so deep. She was about to take a step forward when sudden lights flooded where she was at. Turning her head, her eyes widened as she saw a car swerving for her. "NOOOO!" She closed her eyes, preparing for the end.
Suddenly she felt someone grab her and pull her back, just in time as the car zoomed by with a drawn out honk.
"Huh?" Due blinked as she found herself sitting on the ground. "Who?" She looked around and turned, blinking as she saw an older man, who smiled sadly at her, before turning away and walking without saying a word. "Mister?" When she got no answer as he walked away, she stomped the ground and took off running after him. He seemed familiar, and she wasn't sure why.
(---)
It had been over two hours and there had been no sight or smell of Due in that time.
"Cinque..." Zafira looked at her sadly. "I'm sorry."
"We can't... We can't give up on her..." Cinque shivered heavily and looked as if she was about to collapse on him.
"I'm not saying we should..." He sighed and slipped under her legs, propping her up on his back as he continued to walk. "It's late, and the cold's getting to you." It had gotten to him as well, but he had dealt with winters this cold in the past, so it was pretty easy to ignore it.
"I won't... I won't give up on her." Cinque shuddered even as she gripped the scarf tightly.
"Cinque! Zafira!" Nove called out, shivering slightly. "No luck?"
Cinque shook her head. "No..."
"Dammit!" Deed swore and felt like punching something.
"This is not the way to spend tonight!" Nove growled.
Zafira suddenly turned his head and took off, Cinque nearly fell off of his back in his hurry. Looking at each other, Nove and Deed followed after him closely.
"Mister! Mister!" They both heard a soft voice calling out.
"DUE!"
The little girl stiffened and turned around, her lips were slightly blue from the cold and her cheeks were bright red. "What?"
Cinque jumped off Zafira and basically tackled Due as she hugged her tightly. "Don't... Don't you ever do that again!" Due trembled as Cinque hugged her tightly, crying softly.
"Oi!" Nove looked at them as Deed contacted the rest of their sisters. "Of all the nights you chose to run away on, you had to choose this night!"
"Huh?" Due looked at her in confusion. "Why tonight?"
Cinque pulled away from Due and held up Due's scarf. "Come on," she wrapped it around Due's neck, "we'll show you."
Due was blinking in confusion the whole time.
....
Well, Due isn't the only one blinking in confusion, I'll tell you that. I'm trying to think who that guy could be and drawing a complete blank...
