Reflection of the Moon
Disclaimer: I do not own anything Full Moon wo Sagashite related.
Summary: Mitsuki unknowingly makes a wish for Eichi-kun to come back to life. Takes place at the end of the anime series, a couple of years after Mitsuki found Takuto. Mitsuki is now sixteen years old.
"Eichi-kun… Look, it's the ocean." A sixteen year old Mitsuki Kouyama smiles slightly, looking down at a small picture frame next to her. She pulled her knees to her chest and embraced them. All around her was beautiful sand with slight waves crashing onto them. The moon shone brightly above her head, reflecting its wonderful light against the water.
"Doesn't the moon look so pretty against the ocean?" she sighed happily, falling back on the sand and looking up at the dark night sky. "I wonder if you can see this from where you are…"
Mitsuki reached for the picture frame and placed on top of her stomach, giving it better leverage. "If only you could see this… I wish you could see this with me." With that final thought, she closed her eyes smiling and taking in the scenery.
"Mmm…" Mitsuki mumbled, feeling the sun's bright rays beating against her closed eyelids. Opening them slowly, she breathed in the air deeply. Coming to a sitting position, it was then she felt the light warmth wrapping her. Looking down, she saw that she was covered with a light blue jacket. She fingered the soft material as she lifted it off of her body. Getting to her feet, she stretched her arms broadly. "Good morning." She sighed out to no one in particular.
"Oh! Eichi-kun, where are you?" she looked all around the area she was laying but couldn't find that small picture frame. Just when she was about to go frantic, a soft voice made its way to her ears from behind her.
"Mitsuki-chan."
Mitsuki whipped around coming face to face with Eichi Sakurai. She was too stunned to speak or move.
Eichi smiled and held out the picture frame for Mitsuki. "I only borrowed it for a bit." Regaining a little of her mind, she reached for the picture and took it into her hands.
Stepping closer to him, her eyes got wider. "E-Eichi-kun?"
He didn't respond, but took a step forward and gathered her in for a tight embrace.
Eichi was real. Mitsuki felt his warmth, his strong arms protecting her, much like the feeling Takuto gave her when he embraced her. At the thought of Takuto, she broke their hug and looked him in the eyes.
"H-How?"
Eichi simply smiled.
