Chapter 2
Diasuke heaved the statue down into the basement. The light from torches lining the walls made the features seem real.
"You don't know how lucky you are that you're not alive!" Diasuke sighed at the girl.
But she would be really cute if she were… Dark commented.
"Shut up Dark! Is all you ever think about girls and stealing!"
Yes! It took you that long to figure it out?
"Well, you may have privacy in thoughts but I don't!"
My thoughts don't need to be seen by you… Dark smiled evilly.
"Somehow I don't think I want to know…" sweat drop "She is still lucky to be a statue."
"Oh you think so!"
"Yeah. Wait-" he spun on his heels. Sitting on the pedestal was the statue girl, chin resting in her hand, legs crossed, glaring at him. "You-" She rolled her eyes. "You're the Fifth Tear of Azar!"
"Well DUH! I'm not the Queen of France. So you think its easier being a statue, not moving, exposed to all the elements and not being able to talk to anyone unless it's the full moon and even then its only for a few hours when no one is there?"
"Well, I-"
"Let me tell you it's no better than having to do anything else. Its worse!" She stood up and her dress unfurled around her. Every step filled with the elegance of a well raise girl, she came over and smacked Diasuke.
Whistle She is hot!
"Dark! Stop it!"
Hahahah! What? It's true. Diasuke turned bright red and Dark continued to laugh.
"Tell Dark he should keep his comments to himself!" Her red hair rippled as she turned away. Dark's jaw dropped and it was Diasuke's turn to laugh.
"Dark…hehe… do you…hehe… know her?" Yes… "What's her name?" Miseru. I met her just before the statue was made. She was dying.
"Shut up Dark! You're giving me a head ache." Miseru shifted from her spot so she could lay back.
Did I mention that the Hikari's give magical properties to every piece of artwork they create? She can read minds. She has other abilities but I don't know what they are.
"Of course you don't Dark. Do you really think I was going to tell you?" She sighed softly as she ascended to her perch. "Unless you can free me, I'll see you in a month." Miseru resumed her pose and then froze, just as she was two hours before.
