Karin-Chii: Okay, two things I want all of your readers to know before I start off my story. First thing, I want you guys to remember the plots a bit, because I know some of you, like me, saw/read/watched Full Moon o Sagashite a long time ago, and to some things, you guys have faded memory over, and I don't want you guys to end up confused or lost. And second, for all of you who either only watched the anime or only read the manga, there is a huge difference between those two. Well at some part that is, so before we began, I want to use wiki to explain these two points.
Its really up to you if you want to read it or not, but then I suggest all readers to read it just you know to refresh it, but if you just finished watching it or reading it I guess you can skip the plot part and go on to the second part.
One mistake, for all Mitsuki's name I accidentally mixed it with Matsuki. So sorry about that, but I will fix it in the next chapter!
Wikipedia: [Plot]
12-year-old orphan Mitsuki Kouyama is a talented singer who dreams of becoming a singer, but she is afflicted with sarcoma, which is curable only through a surgery that could ruin her vocal cords, and destroy her ability to sing. The tumor in her throat already affects her ability to breathe well and sing loudly. Her grandmother also hates music and is completely opposed to Mitsuki's wish to audition. Mitsuki's dreams seem impossible to achieve, until one day she is visited by two shinigami, whom only she could see. The shinigami, Takuto and Meroko, inadvertently tip Mitsuki off that she has only one year left to live.
Mitsuki then realizes she cannot wait any longer to fulfill her dream, so she runs away from home and the shinigami, to try to audition for a singing competition. However, the shinigami stop her before she is able to audition. She moves Takuto, the male shinigami, to agree to a compromise: If Mitsuki promises to go quietly when her year is up, he would help her become a singer, so she could leave the world with no regrets. Takuto gives her the ability to transform into a completely healthy 16-year-old, so that she could meet the age requirements of the audition, and sing without hindrance.
Despite heavy competition, Mitsuki wins over the judges with her excellent voice and her enthusiasm for singing, sealing a contract with Seed Records. To conceal her true identity, she chooses the stage name "Fullmoon".
Mitsuki had decided to become a singer two years before, when she was 10 years old. She had made a promise with Eichi Sakurai, a 16-year-old boy she met at her orphanage, that the next time they met, they would both be closer to their dreams. Eichi wanted to become an astronomer and Mitsuki wanted to become a singer. Shortly after, Eichi was adopted and emigrated to America before Mitsuki could express her feelings for him. Mitsuki hopes that by becoming a famous idol, Eichi would be able to hear her sing and realize her feelings for him. This is a tale of growing up, falling in love, awareness of life and death, and desire to move forward. Then later in the series during a Fullmoon's concert (aka Mitsuki) a black thing comes and goes for Mitsuki. Meroko jumps in and protects her and to continue singing. Mitsuki continue singing. Then a lady comes and says they are going to have a punishment. Then she was going to take Mitsuki's life. Takuto says to take his life and saves Mitsuki. Takuto's (aka Takuto from Route L with Mitsuki's father.) (also Takuto died of a motorcycle accident) life is taken so Meroko says to take her life instead of Takuto and let him live. Meroko turns into a angel and Takuto a human. After the surgery in the hospital Mitsuki wakes up and starts crying because Meroko and Takuto disappear and she can't see shinigami anymore. Then at her house her Meroko doll floats away. The doll floats away from Meroko. (Mitsuki is no longer Fullmoon) On the radio people are wondering where is Fullmoon now. Makoda buys flowers for Mitsuki and sees Takuto. When Makoda comes Mitsuki runs past her and her friends. She meets Takuto. Mitsuki yells Takuto in her weak voice then her strong voice. Takuto notices her while holding Meroko's angel feather. Meroko says "farewell Mitsuki." and gives her a kiss on the cheek. Mitsuki sees her and yells Meroko. Meroko disappears into the sky. Then Takuto remembers who Mitsuki is and Meroko. Then it is the end of the TV series.
Wikipedia: [Differences between anime and manga]
Because the manga continued to be written after the anime series completed, the plots of the manga and anime take different paths after the point of Mitsuki's first singing audition. The two stories share common themes, but events develop differently as the series advances, and some of the characters in the anime have different histories and personalities from their manga counterparts.
For example, in the manga, Mitsuki is never allowed to go to school, while in the anime, Mitsuki attends middle school regularly, and many episodes involve her interactions with classmate friends.
Also, in the anime, Mitsuki tries to convince Oshige and Wakaoji that Fullmoon is her "older sister." However, by episode 19, Mitsuki decides to end the charade, admitting to Oshige and Wakaoji that Mitsuki and Fullmoon are one and the same, and that she changes via Takuto's and Meroko's magic. She proves this by performing a transformation in front of them (much to their astonishment), and Wakaoji and Oshige become friends with Takuto and Meroko for the rest of the series. By contrast, in the manga, no human other than Mitsuki knows about the shinigami in detail. Oshige and Wakaoji eventually deduce Mitsuki is also Fullmoon, but they never know specifically how that was accomplished. In only one frame do they mention a time when Mitsuki told them of shinigami, and Wakaoji says simply, "I believe her."
Mitsuki's love for Eichi plays a lead role in her quest to be a singer. When she was 10 years old, she fell in love with Eichi, who was then 16 years old (anime); he was 14 in the manga (relationships with that age difference are allowed in Japan). She wishes to be a singer because she thinks her songs will reach America, where Eichi lives, and will recognize her. However, in the manga, Takuto finds out that Eichi died in a plane crash the day of his departure and Mitsuki knew all along and pretended that he was still alive. In the anime, she goes to America to meet a doctor who might treat her illness and uses the chance to track down Eichi's adoptive family, who tell her that Eichi died in a car accident two months after moving. In both versions, she becomes emotionless and blames herself for his death. In the anime, she is so depressed that she gives up singing, refuses to eat and sleep, stares at a photo of her and him, and considers suicide. In the manga, she continues with singing but does so so that she can exhaust herself to death and "go to the world Eichi is at". At the end of both versions, with the help of her friends, she realizes that Eichi would have wanted her to live and fulfill her dreams, so she continues singing and fulfills her promise to him.
In the manga, Takuto is more blunt about his feelings for Mitsuki, even forcibly kissing her and trying to force himself on her. Mitsuki becomes more aware of her feelings for him earlier and even goes on a date with him. At the end, he awakens from a coma (he wasn't really dead) and reunites with Mitsuki three years later. While in the anime, he holds back his feelings for her and doesn't confess until her final concert. At the end, he is granted a second chance to live and has no memories until Mitsuki calls for him and seems to realize who she is.
In the manga, Meroko still has feelings for Izumi, who is more open about his love for her. Izumi is also more amusing and teasing than his cold and cynical self in the anime. Meroko accepts that she loves Izumi and they become partners again in the manga, while their relationship is left uncertain in the anime.
In the manga, Mitsuki is cured of her illness by her frequent transformations, which lessened her cancer, after she agrees to take the surgery. In the anime, Mitsuki takes the surgery after her final concert and it successfully allows her to keep her voice.
Karinchi: Okay, it's a bit long I admit, but then I do enjoy refreshing myself. If you skip it, its fine, I just want to put it there for people who need refreshment like me.
And so without further ado, let's start the story !
-*.O.*-
"Mitsuki!" a boy with grayish eyes, and mid black hair tied back into a pony tail with a blue ribbon called be from behind.
I turned around and smiled, "Takuto! What you doing here?"
"What do you mean what am I doing here? We're going on a date!"
"We are? I thought I was just coming here to get grocery though…"
"Y-you forgot about our date?" Takuto widened his eyes.
"We had a date?" I tilted my head and looked up pretending to think for a second, "Oh that!"
"Oh that?" he then faceplamed and frowned, "You forgot?"
I laughed and patted on him, "Syke!"
"Mitsuki!" Takuto shouted at me as I ran off, it was a typical weekend. Finally after everything was over and done with. Takuto was granted another chance at life, and resigned from his job as a Shinigami. Though Meroko was a bit angry at first, she then settled down when she heard that Izumi was going to be her partner. Though they are still currently not together, it seemed like they will be eventually as time goes on. And as for me, I resigned from my spot on being Full Moon, after all when Takuto resigned from his job, he also gave in his powers, which includes transforming me into Full Moon. But then that didn't stop me, now I am an international star under the name Mitsuki.
On the other hand, Takuto, he worked his way up and also became one of the famous international stars. Working became fun now that he worked in the same company as me.
One thing that bothers me a lot is because of his popularity, he tends to have a lot of female crazy fans following him around, from our staff helpers to celebrities. It sometimes do get on my nerves, after all Takuto isn't single! And that was known since he became famous! Yet girls just can't get enough of him!
"Okay, okay, I am sorry for joking around like that…" I tried to catch my breath, "its just too cute seeing you fall for such thing, thinking that you would know I was joking."
"Its not funny!"
"Okay, okay, so anyways, where you want to eat?"
"I was thinking of that one café we always said to go but never go."
"But then I was in such a rush today that I forgot to bring money…" I pouted trying to search for some change in my purse.
"I'll pay don't worry." Takuto smiled and held my hands, "Let's go before the line gets too long!"
As we headed to the café, I tend to notice some extra glares coming our way, I crossed my other hand hoping none of them realize it was us. I know our disguise sucked but then I should've been enough to not catch attention.
As we arrived to the café it was already too late, the line was too long, and sighed and looked at Takuto who went in to get a number.
While sitting on the bench outside, a began to think about the past few years and all the things that had happened, it seemed like if it was yesterday that I was still down with the cancer, unable to sing, and throat hurts every time I try to run or exercise, or even sing. It seemed like if it was yesterday that Meroko and Takuto ran through my wall and scaring the heck out of me. I smiled as I thought of those things. I never knew things could end up like this.
"I got a number!" Takuto waved the paper at me, I got up and walked up to him, taking a look at the paper and frowned, "156?"
"Mhmm," he smiled.
"That's going to take forever!"
"No, their currently on 130, so then its not that long of a wait, the waitress over there said it would just be a hour."
"Fine," I went and sat back down with Takuto.
While sitting there, there was a awkward silence at one point where none of us knew what to say. So out of randomness I thought of a random question.
"Hey Takuto," I looked up to him.
"Hmm?"
"Do you ever miss being a Shinigami?"
"Sometimes, why?"
"No, its just that…" I looked out to the fountain, "I feel like sometimes you seem unhappy for some reason."
"I'm not unhappy, why would I be unhappy?"
"I don't know, its just one of those things you feel with your instinct."
"Well, we all know your instinct sucks!"
"Hey! I was just saying, you didn't have to be so mean!"
"Haha, I was joking with you." He laughed a bit and continued, "So tell me, have you ever missed the past, like when you were little?"
"When I was little?"
"Like when you were in the orphanage, with Eichi?"
"I-I guess sometimes I do miss it, but then most of the time I don't think about it, I mean Eichi wanted me to be happy too right?" I tried to smile, but then it felt fake.
"You know, you don't have to hide it, if you miss him, just say it, I wouldn't mind."
"I-" I tired to tell him that I care about him more than Eichi, but then it just wouldn't come out of my mouth. I looked down, not knowing what to say.
Finally, after the long endless wait, the waitress came out and called "Number 156!"
I was so relieved knowing that I can finally eat, but mostly because I get to get out of the awkward situation that I was in.
But little did I know that this was going to be a start of another chaos; as we sat down at our table, I couldn't help but look around at all the other tables. At a distance, I then saw a familiar back of the head. Blond golden hair. I wanted to approach him, and take a better look. But thinking of the possiblties, I didn't bother.
"Mitsuki!"
"W-what happened?"
I looked at Takuto and he pointed to his left, it was the waitress, holding up her little notepad along with a pen, "and for you ma'am, what would you like?"
"Uhh…"I quickly glanced at the menu, and saw the recommendations, roast beef, chicken noodle soup, cream chowder, all-vegetable fried rice, pan friend noodles….I better think quick before the waitress runs out of patients. "I think I will get a cream chowder with some salad." I closed the menu and handed to her.
"And for drinks?"
"Uhh, just water would be fine, thank you."
As the waitress turn to leave, Takuto looked at me in concern, "Are you feeling alright Mitsuki? You seem so out of it…"
"Oh no, I was just thinking about something, and then I ended up staring into space and yeahh…" as I said it, I couldn't look at him, I end up staring at the blond head. I want to see the face to just make sure but how?
"Uhm, if you would excuse me, I need to use the bathroom." I got up and left, heading the direction of the blond boy. Slowly as I pass by their table, I turned and glanced. I then widened my eyes as I put my hands onto my mouth in gasp.
Eichi.

Takuto probably knew what was going on because he glared at me in such a way like if he was disappointed in me, but that didn't matter. My heart tells me to go closer to get a better view but then my mind is telling me if I do this, there will be a consequence in which might cause a chaos. I didn't care much, I began to walk up to him.
Ba-damp
With each step, my heart beated faster.
Ba-damp
"Uhmm…"
