Outers Gone Missing... right?
--------------------------------------
A nurse came running down the hall. "Help! Help!"
Everyone looked at her in surprise.
"What is it, nurse?" an officer asked.
"Miss Haruka... she's..."
Seiya thought of the worst. 'Something's happened to Haruka. Something's happened'
"What is it?" Setsuna demanded.
"She's gone!" The nurse fell to the floor. "I went in there just to check on her, and her bed was empty. She wasn't anywhere in the room either, and no one outside her room saw her leave!"
"How is it possible that two people can disappear off the face of the earth, in the same building, in the same day???" The officer looked angry. "Is this some kind of sick joke?"
Seiya glanced at Setsuna, who was looking out the window. He had a funny feeling that she knew something. Something was happening and she was keeping quiet. 'What the heck is it though?' he wondered.
"That's it. This has to be some kind of sick joke," the officer said. Then, he went and removed all of his policemen from the building. Seiya guessed they all just went home.
When Seiya got home, his mind was still on Setsuna's reaction. She had seemed... cold. There WAS no reaction from her.
"Where do you think Haruka and Michiru went?" Yaiten asked. "And don't you think we should be keeping an eye on Setsuna?"
"What for?"
Yaiten and Taiki looked at Seiya in surprise.
"What do you mean, Seiya?" Taiki asked.
"I think something's going on. No idea what, but something is happening. What troubles me is there was no reaction from Setsuna what-so-ever." He looked at the TV, then sat down on the couch, turned the TV on and began watching the news. "You might be right. But then again, you might be wrong," Seiya heard Taiki whisper. He supposed Taiki really hadn't meant him to hear that.
Hotaru watched Setsuna typing on her computer. The oldest sailor scout had been unusually quiet since the incidents at the hospital. "What are you looking for, Setsuna-mama?" she asked.
Setsuna turned and looked at her. "Once before, on the Moon Kingdom, I met the strangest little girl there. Somehow, she used mirrors as a way of transportation."
"What?"
"I know, Hotaru. It sounds strange. But somehow, she would just step through the mirror, and where she would go, no one could guess. The Queen speculated that it might be the World of Mirrors." She turned back to her computer.
Hotaru walked over and stood behind Setsuna, looking at the page she had open. "What's that about?" It was a picture of a place, with many white walls, many mirrors over it, with many twists and turns. It looked like an overview of a maze.
"This is something I found long ago in a book, and I scanned a picture of it before I returned the book back to its owner." Setsuna explained. "Ah, ok. What's that pool in the middle of it though? I don't remember water ever being a silver-color." Hotaru was confused. "I don't know. Just... it seems connected to something, but I'm not sure what. Not sure."
"I still think it's a maze," Hotaru said. "I really think it's a maze that some idiot never got to build. Too bad, it looks like it could have been a pretty cool maze." She went and sat back on Setsuna's bed. "Where do you think Haruka and Michiru are? Do you think they're safe?"
"I think they're safe, but not sure where they are." Setsuna sounded like she was half-talking to herself.
Hotaru shrugged and went downstairs into the kitchen. 'Wonder where you two disappeared to. Please be safe, Haruka-papa, Michiru-mama. This is a time when we'll probably need more allies, we don't want or need you two to be going off somewhere now.' She grabbed a glass of water and then walked outside, to go sit by the pool in the back yard. She looked at the clear blue water filling it. 'That was a type of pool, wasn't it?' She looked up at the darkening sky. "Please come home soon. We need you two here." She hoped they would bring allies with them.
Suzumi (known to Mirai as some) watched Michiru. The woman was drawing something. "What are you doing?" she asked Michiru.
"Making a sketch of you, Suzumi. I told you that you'd make a good model." "I will not be a model." Suzumi said defiantly. "No."
"When do we go back?" Haruka asked her. "This place seems... lonely... somehow. It's too quiet."
Suzumi laughed. "Soon, Haruka, soon. Do not worry. I do not plan on keeping you in here for long. You just have to get better first. It's no good fighting when you are wounded."
"Who said anything about a fight?" Michiru asked.
"Who didn't?" Haruka asked Michiru back.
