A New Star in the Sky

Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon or Full Moon wo Sagashite. I wish I could draw as good as both of them though *sniffles* They are so talented.

Note: I just finished watching Full Moon wo Sagashite. I cried my eyes out through the majority of the series, it's just so incredibly sad *sniffles again* Anyway, at first I didn't really think I could write anything about this series because the ending fit so well, but well, I'm going to give it a try *grins* Please email me at pokahydee@mysticallegends.net to tell me how it is^^ I have several ideas floating around in my head and this is just one of them. It takes place during Sailor Stars in SM and four years after Mitsuki's surgery in FMwS at Full Moon's big comeback debut.

Warning! Spoilers ahead, don't read if you don't want to be spoiled!

Prologue

"Let's sing a song! Konya ha eien ni kawaranai atsui omoi aru to shinjitai!" Full Moon's heard was filled to the brim and spilling over during her grand comeback. It had been four years since Mitsuki had been on stage and she was bursting at the seams with the love and warmth she wanted the crowd to feel when her voice rang out about the cheers.

"Day by day! motto motto motto sakebitai kono utau kono yume ha owaranai!" Her golden-blond hair spilled down her back to her thighs and glinted in the bright lights that shone down on her. Many of her fans had been shocked at her return for her lack of aging. She didn't look a day older than she had at her last concert four years prior. Only a few knew the truth, that twelve-year-old Mitsuki had been turned into a sixteen-year-old by a Shinigami to reach her dreams before her fated death four years prior. She chose to perform her grand debut on the same date as her last concert she performed.

Ooshige had released to the public that she didn't look any older because of the chemotherapy. You see, Mitsuki had had a tumor in her throat and was dying from it. They had decided that it was a suitable answer, especially when they had the opinion of Mitsuki's doctor and producer, Wakouji-sensei. He had personally performed the operation on Mitsuki's throat along with a doctor from America who had developed a new method of removing the tumor, which would not damage her vocal cords. That had been the only thing Mitsuki had been unwilling to give up, her voice. Her love of singing was too great for such a tragedy to occur, and not only that, but people were touched by her singing so much that many tears were shed at her disappearance and year after she debuted.

"Repeat and repeat! This is song for you!" The last line rang out as the music drew to a close. The crowd roared as the last notes faded and then died. "Thank you all for coming to my grand return!"

"Full Moon!" A voice from off-stage called over the microphone. Full Moon turned her head and her golden locks fell across her face to see a woman about 20 years old. She had shoulder-length purple hair that swayed slightly as she stepped out onto the stage from the side. "I would like to personally congratulate you on you return! Now we can compete against each other like old times!"

"Madoka-san." Full Moon said as a smile broke out across her face. "Arigato!" Madoka walked up to Full Moon and lay a bouquet of white lilies in the blond girl's arms and gave a wink toward the side of the stage as well as a thumbs up. A moment later, and up-beat tune started to play and Madoka rose the microphone to her mouth.

"Kimi wo suki ni natte Dorekurai tatsu no kaNA?" Madoka sang as she swayed slightly to the up-beat music. Full Moon smiled fully at the older girl and raised her microphone as well, turning Madoka's solo into a duet.

"This isn't in the program!" One of the technician's back-stage cried in irritation.

"Leave it to Madoka-san to steal the spotlight on Full Moon's grand return," Ooshige said dryly as she shook her head. "That girl will never change."

"The crowd seems to be enjoying it." Wakouji-sensei said with a small smile. He had been doing check-ups on Mitsuki since the surgery and there was no sign of cancer anywhere in her body. It had gone into remission, finally. He still did the check-ups even if there had been no sign of it for the past four years.

"Hold me tight! Konna omoi nara!" The two sang together, both competing for the middle of the stage. They had come to an understanding a few years before. Madoka know about the Shinigami now, though she wasn't sure if she believed the real story. Mitsuki had simplified it slightly and hadn't mentioned that the Shinigami that turned her into Full Moon was given a second chance at life. The moment Madoka heard Mitsuki sing, though, she knew that Mitsuki was really Full Moon. Even if the explanation seemed unbelievable, the simple fact was that Mitsuki was Full Moon. There was no one that could sing the way Full Moon did, so there had been no doubt about it. "I love you! Namida tomaranai!"

Madoka had been angry at first at having been made a fool of by a child. After a few weeks, though, Madoka arrived outside of Mitsuki's house to apologize for over-reacting. She had come to know Mitsuki's nature. The girl hated for anyone to suffer, even if the person who was suffering had done something unforgivable like cheating to beat her. Madoka had been that person… she had locked Full Moon in the bathroom right before an interview, slashed her costume before a performance, stolen the song she was going to sing, and even sold her to a reporter that would tarnish her name. After all of that, Mitsuki still set it upon herself to inspire Madoka to sing.

"Eien ni furu yukiga aru nara!" The two voices rang together and blended perfectly. Full Moon sang the higher octave while Madoka took the lower one. They had sung together before when Mitsuki was younger, after her throat was healed, of course. That was when Madoka had first discovered Mitsuki's secret.

"Hold me tight! Konna omoi nara! Dareka wo suki ni naru kimochi!" A third voice joined into the song, this one male. Both Full Moon and Madoka turned around toward the sound to see a man standing on the top of the stairs with his hair pulled back in a short ponytail. "Shiritaku Nakatta yo!" Full Moon's eyes began to water as Takuto descended the stairs toward the two girls.

"I love you Mune ni komiageru! Fuyuzora ni sakebitai! Ima sugu kimi ni Aitai yo." All three finished the song in time as the music faded and died away. Tears were streaming down her cheeks as she hugged Takuto and Madoka in turn.

"Arigato minna! Full Moon said into the microphone as she dabbed at her eyes. "Doomo arigato minna!"

****

Usagi's throat was sore by the end of the concert but it had been worth it. Usagi had been waiting for Full Moon's return for four years now. She had heard Full Moon on her debut; she had actually been in the crowd during her first live performance four years prior. The first time she heard Full Moon sing shudders went through her body as pure emotion filled her and she fell in love with her voice. She wasn't jealous; she just admired the blond girl's talent and wished she would reach that level some day.

A man with black hair stood at her side. He didn't seem too interested in the concert; he was more interested in the odangoed blond that stood beside him. He knew she admired this particular singer a great deal, but he was tired of being groped by the surrounding girls, that did not include Usagi. Even with a disguise, they seemed to be able to recognize him.

"Seiya-kun! Can I have your autograph!" A middle school aged girl asked as a huge grin spread across her face. He sighed and took the pen to write a quick autograph.

"Ne, odango. Are you ready to go? I don't think I can hold back the crowds for long." Seiya said as he pushed his way through the girls to get back to the blond.

"Demo, I want to see Full Moon up close." Usagi whined as he took her arm and began to drag her toward the exit. He pulled his hat farther down on his head to prevent more people from spotting him. Too bad it didn't work too well. He stood over most of the people there since they were young girls. He was too tall for this type of thing.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure you get to meet her in person." Seiya said as he turned and winked at the blond. Usagi blushed and a grin broke out across her face.

"Arigato Seiya-kun!" Usagi cried as she threw herself at him and hugged him tightly. Usagi was glowing the entire trip out of the concert and then the entire time as they walked toward the bus station.

"You hungry, odango?" He asked as he glanced down at the short blond. Usagi nodded and smiled up at him.

"Arigato for going with me, Seiya-kun." Usagi said as she continued to smile. "I want to be able to sing like her some day. Isn't her voice amazing?" Seiya laughed slightly and nodded.

"Hai, she has an amazing voice." Seiya said. "Even if it was mostly girls that went to her concert, she has a voice on her." He sighed and looked away from Usagi. 'I bet if I could sing with as much emotion, we'd be able to find our princess faster…' He thought glumly as he stuffed his hands into his pockets.

"What's wrong?" Usagi asked as she looked up and saw the sudden gloom that seemed to cover his face. He looked over at her, slightly startled and forced a smile.

"Nothing. I was just thinking." Seiya said as he ruffled her hair.

"Oi! Don't do that, baka!" Usagi growled as she tried to fix it. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a mirror to fix her bangs.

****

It was the next day and school was finished. Usagi had an audition that day for a commercial that afternoon and was busy getting herself ready to go. Seiya was leaning against the wall behind her, glancing at his watch nervously every few seconds.

"If you don't hurry up, we're going to be late." He said simply as he walked over to her and scooped her up in his arms.

"I'm not ready yet!" Usagi squealed as she fought to get free. Seiya slung her over his shoulder and headed toward the stairs. "I still have to curl my bangs!"

"You look gorgeous! If we don't leave right now, you'll completely miss it!" He cried over her struggling yelps and whines. He walked out to the car, opened the door and plopped her in the seat.

"Demo-" Usagi started but was cut off.

"No buts, we're leaving now." Seiya said sternly as he slammed the car door and walked around to the driver's side.

Ten minutes later, Usagi was standing in the hallway nervously awaiting her turn to be interviewed with Seiya at her side. The other girls around her looked smug and jealous when they saw that Usagi had come in with one of the Three Lights. They were stuck-up toward her and none of them showed any pleasantness at all.

"Number 22." A voice called from the door and Usagi's heart skipped a beat. She was number 22, she took a small step forward and then stopped.

"Just take a deep breath, odango." Seiya said from the side. Usagi glanced over at him, closed her eyes and drew in a deep breath. She let it out slowly and when she opened her eyes, she walked toward the door with a huge grin on her face and a bounce in her step. 'I can do this!' She told herself as she passed through the doors.
