Michiru hadn't come home last night. She never stayed out all night. Haruka hadn't worried when she was later than anticipated the evening before; perhaps she'd run into Legolas and they'd decided to chat. As the sun set and the stars had come out, she'd started to wonder just how late her partner was going to be. Haruka didn't like sleeping alone, and as the hours passed, began to grow worried.

She'd finally fallen asleep on the armchair near their bookcase sometime after midnight. When she'd awoken in the morning, the bed was still as crisply made as Michiru had left it the previous morning, before they'd gone out. Her mirror and communicator were still set out on the bedside table. Haruka had scowled at the communicator. Why hadn't they thought to keep them on at this strange place? Clearly, something had happened, and there was no way to know exactly what because they couldn't talk to one another.

Haruka showered and dressed quickly, and grabbed an apple from the small bowl of fruit they kept in the room to snack on during the day. She rooted around in her closet until she found an old satchel that was large enough to hold the deep aqua mirror comfortably, then slipped said mirror inside. With the bag slung over her shoulder, and her henshin wand tucked into her pocket, she stepped out into the corridor and headed toward the door.

As she stepped outside, an unusually chill wind blew past her. She frowned and narrowed her eyes. Something was definitely amiss today. She could sense it. Were Michiru here, she'd say that the sea was troubled. Haruka looked left, then right, trying to decide which way to go to begin her search. She wished she could just ask Michiru's mirror, but it wouldn't respond to her. It would have made things so much simpler, though.

She chose a direction at random and started walking, scanning the area for any sign of her lover. There were surprisingly few people around outside today, and it was a lovely day. This too bothered her. Something was definitely not right. At last, Haruka did see a person, a male she didn't recognize. "Excuse me," she said, jogging up to him, "you haven't seen a girl with green hair, have you?"

Faith had been avoiding her Watcher. This wasn't so unusual a tactic for her, to just stay away for days or even weeks on end when she was feeling restless or whatever. But the world she was from was much bigger than Mirage, and she was starting to think that she should have seen him by now. Whatever she thought, she did know that he took his responsabilities as her Watcher very seriously, and as such, he should have sought her out by now. But days passed, and she hadn't seen anything of him.

Still, she didn't worry all that much, not really. At least not until one of the stone creatures, the golems, came up to her and wordlessly handed her a wand. She stared at it, her mind flashing back to the time he'd used a stick to hoist her into the air. She stared blankly for awhile. The wand had looked just like this one. How had this creature gotten Snape's wand? "What the hell?"

The golem, of course, didn't speak. It simply pointed, and Faith glared at it. An entirely unusual feeling was building up inside her. She was actually... concerned for her Watcher? No, of course not, she just didn't want him hurt because then those damn dreams would start again and she'd rather not deal with that, thank you very much. Still, there was an usual amount of haste to her movements in the direction that the thing pointed.

Of course, that happened to lead directly toward a blonde Asian woman, but Faith wasn't too worried about her. She had a Watcher to find. "Outta the way, sister." She smirked slightly. "I don't care about your green haired chick, I'm looking for a black-haired man, kinda pale. I think he's this way." She held up the wand she still clutched, and then started moving determindly in the direction which the golem had pointed.

Haruka glared at the other woman, bristling at her rudeness. Then, the meaning of her words registered in Haruka's mind, and she turned abruptly on her heel and followed after her. "Someone you know is missing as well?" she said as she caught up to the woman. "What makes you think he's this way?"

Haruka noticed the funny little stick clutched in the woman's hand and raised an eyebrow. It had some importance, clearly, or she wouldn't be holding it so tightly. Haruka held her own henshin wand in that manner just before she transformed. Could this woman be some sort of warrior as well? She'd met other warriors on this planet - the girl Rogue when she first arrived had described herself as such - so it wasn't that far-fetched an idea.

Before the woman could answer her, Haruka spied something lying in the grass just ahead of them. A wand topped by a crescent moon lay just visible near the edge of the building. Michiru's wand. "No!" Haruka cried. She sprinted forward and snatched the wand from the ground, staring at it with wide eyes. There was no way Michiru would have just dropped it; not even Usagi was that careless with her brooch. Something had happened to Michiru. Someone had caused her harm. And when Haruka found that person, whoever it was would pay and pay dearly. She turned back to the other woman. "Do you think something foul has happened to your friend as well?" she asked, her voice quiet with barely-checked anger. She clutched Michiru's wand in her fist so hard that, were it made of anything more flimsy, it might have broken.
