Van tried again and again, searching for Merel in his mind. He keept drawing up blanks, though. Hitomi's pendent refused to point in any one direction. It just keept spining around and around, making him dizzy.
He opened his eyes, letting his anger flow through them at Hitomi.
"I just can't do it," he complained, "why can't I do it? I have tried twenty-one times, and still I can't tell where she is."
Hitomi looked at him with simpathy writen clearly on her small face. " I don't know Van. Maybe you need something else to focus on. Maybe Merel is just to difficult to spot." Her face looked thoughtfull. "Maybe if I hide, you would have better luck."
"Its worth a try," he said with not so little exsaperstion in his voice.
She handed him the pendent, and intructed him to hold it in front of him, like she had been doing moments before. Van heard the rustle of bushes, and Merle steped out from behind a large display of shrubs.
"Whacha doing Lord Van? Hunh, hunh?"
Hitomi looked at her, not bothering to conseal her contempt for the cat girl. " I am going to hid now, Merle, sit down and be quiet."
Merle stuck her toung out at Hitomi. Van shot her a look, and she did what she was told.
"I'm going now Van," Hitomi said, " close your eyes and think about me."
Van nodded and closed his eyes. He thought about the girl that he had brought back from the Mystic Moon. He thought of the times she had saved his life, and the times she had put it in danger. Suddenly he saw her pendent. It was spinning round and round. Suddenly it stoped. I was pointing in a Northwestern direction.
His eyes flew open and he turned in the direction that the pink stone was pointing. There he saw Hitomi, smiling at him. Somehow, he wasn't sure how, but somehow she knew that he saw where she was.
Suddenly, a great booming roar filled the cortyard, shaking the trees and foilage. They all looked around, searching for the source of the great noise. He spun away from Hitomi to see it Merle, to see if she was all right. He heard a scream, and spun back to face Hitomi. She was being lifted up by a black tented light.
"Hitomi," he cried, and then she was gone.

So, what do you think? Worthy of a sequal? This is more or less just a prolouge
