Chapter 5: Mysterious Art
"Daisuke! Look at what we found! Isn't she cute! She even knows about your secret identity somehow but oh well!" Emiko exclaimed as she pointed to a blue haired girl.
"Ooooooh. Is this the boy you were talking about? Your son?"
"Yes. Daisuke, this is Towa-chan. She will be our maid from now on. She even offered herself! Actually, we found her on the streets but still..," Emiko mumbled.
"What was that mom?"
"Oh nothing, sweetie. Now go do your homework! You have work to do tonight," Emiko said while pointing at the stairs that led to Daisuke's room.
"What! You sent another note? But I have to go somewhere with Takeshi, Masahiro, Riku, Risa, Satoshi, and Jikan today," Daisuke whined.
"Go!" Emiko said while pointing yet again to the stairs that led to Daisuke's room. Daisuke sighed in defeat before climbing up the stairs.
"Go go go!" Towa-chan exclaimed. "We'll be rootin' for ya!" she said as she went off to make some muffins.
"Don't burn the kitchen this time!"
((Satoshi-sama?))
(Yes?)
((What is Dark stealing tonight?))
(The Saint of Tears.)
((What is that?))
(I don't know. I tried to look it up, but there was nothing.)
((Ah. I see. We will have to pay close attention to him tonight then.))
(Yes.)
'Oh, so he's stealing the Saint of Tears. I hope Daisuke and Satoshi don't get hurt….,' Jikan thought. After all, she helped create it when a Hikari had accidentally come into Time.
"Hello Commander. Do you enjoy always coming here early? It must be a bore," Dark said as he disappeared and then reappeared next to the Saint of Tears. "Bye-bye now." Dark said as he shrunk the big statue with magic and flew out of the museum.
"Wait!" Too late. Dark had gone and had stolen something he didn't even know how to use. He had found a diary of one of his ancestors who had gone into Time and had finally figured out what the Saint of Tears did. If Dark activated it, it would be even harder to deactivate. But Dark, being the stupid person he was, had left without letting Satoshi talk. Now he would have to get it back without Dark knowing. But how?
"Emiko-san! I'm home!" Dark called.
"Oh Dark! You did so well today! You deserve a treat!" Emiko said while stuffing a cookie into Dark's mouth. A big one in fact. About the size of a pancake…
"Hello Dark! Do you like the cookie? I made lots more! I couldn't make them into perfect circles so I kept them in frying pans! Do you want more?" Towa asked as she held out a plate stacked up with cookies about the size of the one in Dark's mouth. Some were even bigger.
"Um…no thanks," Dark said as he transformed into Daisuke.
"Mom. Do you know what the Saint of Tears does? Even Dark doesn't know!"
"Um...I'm not sure, but you could ask Towa-chan!" Emiko said. "She has special powers. Whoooo…," Emiko said in a ghostly voice while adding "special affects" by wriggling her fingers in front of Daisuke's eyes.
"Um okay," Daisuke said as he took out the mini Saint of Tears out of his pocket, took the feather off, and gave, um…dragged, the normal sized statue to Towa.
"Hmm, let's see," Towa said as she put her hands on the statue. "Oooh. This is interesting."
