Chapter 3
"Miss Hio?" Daisuke asked.
Mio opened her eyes slowly and then blinked and asked, "Who are you and how'd I get here?"
"What? You don't remember me, it's me, Daisuke Niwa." He answered.
"Dai-suke? DAISUKE!" she exclaimed and ran to hug him.
He hugged her back and said, "Glad to see you come back."
She looked up at him and then let go and said, "You sure have changed."
"Yeah I did, I grew older." He said.
"Daisuke, who are you talking to?" they heard Riku and saw her walk in. She looked at Daisuke and then to Mio and then back to Daisuke. "Um, honey, who is this?"
"You don't remember her, this is Mio Hio." Daisuke answered.
"What!? How could that be? She disappeared thirteen years ago when the Black Wings came and try to take out the whole town that one time!" she exclaimed.
"That was then but now something came and brought me back." Mio told th.
"Brought you back?" Riku asked.
Mio nodded and then turned to Daisuke and said, A power brought me back and I came here to warn you that the Wedge of Time and Second Hand of Time have been reborn with that same power and and are looking for you!"
"What? Why?" Daisuke asked.
"I don't know why at first but it has to do with when you had that paiting you did a long time ago." Mio answered.
"That paiting is no longer around so how come are they back for that?" Riku asked.
"I guess it's because I was the one who painted it in the first place" Daisuke answered.
"What should we do?" Riku asked.
"Get Satoshi in on this and find Dark and Krad of course." Daisuke answered.
Mio nodded and later on both she and Daisuke left the house and headed to Satoshi's home.
A few minutes after they left, Dark and Krad came with Syaoran and his friends to the house and found Towa with Daichi and Riku having breakfast.
"Uncle Dark! Uncle Krad!" Daichi exclaimed.
"Hey there, look who we brought." Dark said.
"Hey there!" Fai exclaimed.
"Syaoran, Kurogane, Fai, Sakura, Mokona, what are you all doing here?" Riku asked.
"Mommy, who are they?" Daichi asked.
"They're friends of ours that came from far away." Riku told him.
"Oh."
"Never knew you guys would show up again after three years." Towa said.
"What?" Syaoran asked.
"Three years?" Fai asked.
"Yes, it's been three years after you guys left here." Krad answered.
"How could that be?" Sakura asked.
"Yuko said we would come to worlds in different times so Mokona might've brought you all here for another feather." Mokona told them.
"Another feather? That's impossible." Towa said.
"Not really, we've returned to worlds we already been to and found another feather there and it looks like the same thing has happened here." Syaoran said.
"Wait a second, if you all are here then that power that Mio talked about earlier was…it can't be…" Riku said.
"Wait, you're saying she returned?" Towa asked.
"Yes, she came to warn Daisuke about the rebirth of the Second Hand and Wedge of Time." She answered.
"Okay, what's all this? A girl and something called the Secon Hand and Wdge of Time, it doesn't make sense!" Kurogane said.
"Let us explain it." Riku said and then explained to them about what happened from thirteen years ago and how Mio Hio came into their lives and how it lead to her disappearance and the whole mess with Daisuke's painting and the artworks that were used to keep him in the world of his painting and how he was freed from it.
"Wow, never knew a possible feather would do something like that." Syaoran said.
"Yeah and it might have to do with the snow." Fai said.
"Snow?" Riku asked.
"When we arrived we found snow that didn't feel cold at all to us." Kurogane answered.
"Just like the painting, that means it is coming into our world." Riku said.
"By the way, where is this Mio Hio girl and where's Daisuke?" Kurogane asked.
"They went out to find Satoshi and they went to find you all, since you all are here, I guess I could try calling Satoshi's home later on." Riku answered.
"Good idea, we…ah!" Dark exclaimed.
"Dark!" Towa exclaimed.
"Damn it, why is this happening to me!?" he asked.
It has to do with the snow, it's starting to get at his magic. Syaoran thought to himself.
At Satoshi's home, Satoshi woke up to the sound of the doorbell ringing and sat up and let go of the sleeping Risa who was next to him. He got out of bed and slipped some clothes on and heard the doorbell ringing again.
"I'm coming!" he exclaimed as he walked to the door and answered it and saw Daisuke with Mio Hio on the doorstep.
"Niwa? What are you two doing here? And why is Miss Hio here with you?" Satoshi asked.
"I will explain everything once we're inside." Daisuke answered and they were let inside and led to the living room area where Daisuke explained everything to him about the snow and then how Mio appeared in his house and her warning. Once he was done, Satoshi sighed.
"Never knew that something weird like this would take place again." He said.
"Yeah, especially with what happened three years ago with the Black Wings showing up again." Daisuke told him.
"What? The Black Wings returned?" Mio asked.
"Yes, because of a mysterious feather shown up and these people shown up and helped us to defeat it." Satoshi answered.
"I have a feeling that a new feather has shown up and might've revived the Second Hand and Wedge of Time." Daisuke said.
"And possibly your painting since this town is now covered in non-freezing snow." Satoshi said.
"Wait, if you think one of these feathers have appeared in this world again doesn't that mean those people you met years ago might have returned?" Mio asked.
"She does have a point." Satoshi said.
"Maybe we should see if they are at my house before we try to find Dark and Krad."Daisuke said.
Satoshi and Mio nodded in agreement.
