But she was rather amused by the way that the panicking girl was running from the blonde. Obviously Haruka could catch her, but it was more about terrorizing the younger teen. After all, Rei did tend to be a bit... mouthy and headstrong, which did get annoying after a while. This would hopefully not only be a good lesson and stress reliever, but would really amusing to watch.
Besides, she really didn't need the help in locating the boy. He was good, but he was not perfect. Given a little time and experience, he could very possibly get away from her, but now he was dealing with a situation that he'd never come across before.
Attacking him would be stupid though, since antagonizing him when he hadn't shown himself to be an enemy yet would likely give him reason to mistrust them in the future. No, she'd need to do something focused on finding... and possibly talking to, him. However, she couldn't do something light, since he could either mistake it, or not be impressed by the level of importance of what he'd stumbled in to.
Fortunately, she had just the thing that would do the trick. "Ninja technique, Water Clone!"
The mist from the water rose up and lazily swirled around her, gathering more and more, like it had been poured into a saucer. Then it began to build up in pockets around her, with an almost cocoon like shape at each of the four cardinal points. They didn't stay like that, as they started growing a fine shape, with... long shapely legs, firm busts, and shoulder length hair, all made up of the vapor that had collected.
Soon, there wasn't a simple fog around her. Instead, there was a group of feminine shapes that all looked like her. Each had features that followed Michiru's as an example, but seemed to have an almost unfinished, or too smooth look to them. It was almost as if they were not capable of fine detail... which was fine by her. The last time that someone had tried to find out if they were anatomically correct, despite the completely smooth surface of the 'breasts', she had released her hold on the vapor in question and let it rain upon the idiot's head.
They were useful though, and with a simple exertion of will, she sent them out, each heading in a different direction. Each moved with a speed that no flesh could move at, and they weren't bound by things like footholds or obstacles. All that she needed to do was to have them ride the air, and she knew that she could find him soon enough.
Michiru just hoped that this boy wouldn't get frightened by her clones, as she could see him attacking them if he thought that they were a threat.
In the mean time, she had to use what she had available to find him, while:
