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 less than no interest in hearing just what it was that Snape wanted to say about his name. She made nicknames for people, and that was just how it was. Buffy hadn't much liked being called 'B' either, but that had never bothered Faith in the slightest. So she waved off Snape's concerns with a sort of airy disregard.

"Whatever, okay, Skeletor." She smirked at him before turning to the other people in the room. "Hi, guys." She looked appraisingly at Ianto and then turned to Michiru. "Wicked hair. Couldn't ever make myself do that fake hair shit, but it suits you." She leaned casually against the wall and glanced around. "So, I'm not having fun. Let's get outta here before psycho cat girl or whatever comes back."

With that barrage of words, the Slayer turned on her heel and walked out of the shattered door of the supply closet. Her job was done, as far as she saw, and she didn't really want to just hang out talking for a million years. She had much better things to do... no exact plans, of course, but anything would be better in her mind than staying here.

Snape closed his eyes and took a breath, wondering not for the last time why he had agreed to such a close association with such a willfull and disobedient young woman. Did she not realize that her behaviour reflected badly on him? Now was not the time to get into a discussion about her disrespectful use of nicknames.

Embarrassed by his Slayer's easy command of the situation, Snape refused to leave immediately upon her heels, like some frequently-beaten dog. Gazing around the room, he saw his fellow captives in the light for the first time. Michiru's hair was a surprising shade of green, and she was clearly on familiar terms with their blonde liberator. Ianto appeared to be a normal muggle, oddly-dressed, probably not that interesting.

"Well, Uranus, is it? Like the planet? It looks like you've got things well in hand with these two. I find I agree with Faith. I see no point in hanging about. Our captor is not likely to return, though I would have a thing or two to say to her if she did. My thanks for the rescue, Uranus. I bid the three of you farewell."

Having said his piece, Snape deemed a long enough interval to have passed and strode sweepingly from the room.

"It's not..." Michiru started to say in response to Faith's comment on her hair, but before she could get more than those two words out the other woman had strode out of the room. Michiru watched her go, speechless for a moment. She hadn't dealt with rudeness on that kind of scale since... since... well, since her last European tour. "Gaijin" she muttered,glancing at Uranus. She sighed as Snape left as well, with little obvious concern for either her or Ianto. No manners at all, these people.

She however, would be better. She looked over at Ianto, who seemed slightly disappointed for some reason. "Well, we are rescued at least" she said to him with a slight shrug. "Please permit me to make introductions. Ianto Jones, this is my partner Haruka Ten'no, also currently known as Sailor Uranus. Uranus, Ianto Jones."

Ianto smiled at the woman who had asked if he was alright, taking her to be Michiru's Haruka. "I'm alright, thank you." His body was battered from being dragged down the stairs, but he wasn't seriously injured and it wasn't anything he couldn't recover from.

He held out a hand to Haruka. "It's a pleasure. Thank you very much for helping us out of here." He cast a subtle glance at the exit Snape and the other girl had taken.

Before Uranus could even thank Faith for her help, because really, she wouldn't have found Michiru without the Slayer's aid, or reply to Snape's question and offer of thanks, the two had swept out of the ruined building. She turned back to Michiru and Ianto. She managed to catch the bitter comment her lover had made, and shook her head slightly. However rude the pair were, they had at least been helpful.

Haruka took Ianto's hand as he offered it. "Likewise," she said, bowing slightly as she shook his hand. "And you're welcome. I'm sorry you all had to wait so long." She knew Michiru would scold her for the late rescue later. While she wasn't exactly sure how long they'd been held captive, it was at least overnight. Michiru wouldn't have been gone all night otherwise. She followed his gaze toward the exit. "Let's all actually get out of here before that woman in a catsuit returns." She cast a glance at Michiru. "Although, if she's smart, she'll stay far away from either of us, ne?"
