Konichiwa mina-san!
This is an Izumi gets chibi-fied story! I've had this idea ever since reading the chapter in the manga about Izumi's past. It was so sad! So I decided that I would chibify him! Mwahahaha!
If you haven't seen the whole anime or read the whole manga you probably don't want to read this as it has spoilers for the end of both the manga and anime. (I kind of combined the two endings.)
This takes place 8 years after the anime and 5 years after the manga.
I do not own Full Moon Wo Sagashite or anything else that is remotely copyrighted.

Enjoy the story! (See Siv I can make my authors note shorter than the chapter, so there!)
The Love of an Angel: Chapter 1: Bits and Pieces
"Aha!" Meroko yelped triumphantly. 'I finally found it, Izumi's file.' It had taken months of searching through dusty volumes and old records to find the file that she wanted. 'I can't believe how many people there have been in the world over the years. And,' she smiled riley, 'we have a record of every single one of them. Now to find out about his past…'
"Izumi-kun, don't we have a job to do?" Jonathan's whiny voice pierced through the quiet of the deserted playground where they were sitting and was starting to give Izumi a headache. Instead of the customary sharp remark that Jonathan was used to Izumi just glared at him. "Izumi-kun?"
"Do it your self if you're so impatient to get it done. I just don't feel like it right now." 'I'm sorry I didn't realize soon enough Me-chan… about love and friendship… and everything else… you were right all along…' Suddenly Izumi was on the ground clutching his head in pain.
"Izumi-kun? Izumi-kun?" Jonathan called, but the blond could not hear him.
-
"You lost the cat?" A woman's accusing voice yelled. "Well she's not coming back. Don't come telling me stupid little things like that!"
-
"What are you looking at?" The same voice yelled. She smacked the young boy. Then started crying as she screamed: "Everything would be fine if it weren't for you…"
And through it all he just sat and silently bore it…
-
"Izumi-kun?" This time Izumi looked up.
"It's nothing Jonathan, I'm fine."
Meroko stormed into her superiors office a look of immense anger on her normally calm, peaceful face.
"Yes, Meroko? You wished to see me?"
"How…how", her voice was shaking so much with anger that she could barley get out what she wanted to say. She took a deep breath and tried again. "I know being a shinigami is a punishment, but how could you punish a small child? How is it even their fault?" The man noticed the file she was holding.
"Ah, I see we're talking about some one specific here. Unfortunately for people like him, no one knew quiet where to draw the line on that, so everyone that commits suicide becomes a shinigami regardless of age or circumstance. If all those things were taken into account we would be doing nothing but sorting out suicide victims everyday."
Meroko had seen the amount of files on suicide cases and figured that her superior would say something along those lines, but she had spent way too much time thinking about this to give up without a fight.
"But it's just not fair." He chuckled.
"My dear little angel did no one ever tell you that life is not fair?" She glared at him.
"Of coarse I know that, I was a shinigami before Izumi was even born."
"Ah, how silly of me, I must have forgotten." Meroko glared at him again. This was getting no where fast.
"Couldn't you please just give him another chance? I know that deep down Izumi's a really good person."
"Meroko, he's never displayed any qualities that remotely point to him being a good person."
"That is not true, he helped Mitsuki out at her last concert as Full Moon, and he's done a few other things too." Meroko defended. Her boss just looked exasperated.
"All right so he has a few times, but…"
"The only reason he hasn't shown it very much is because he was never loved when he was alive and so he doesn't know how to respond to love now." Meroko interjected angrily.
"You're not going to give this up are you?"
"Never, not until Izumi-kun gets a second chance."
"Fine, fine." Meroko's smile could have lit up a dungeon.
"Thank you! Thank you!" Her boss held up a finger in warning.
"But, there are a few rules. I will return him to the form he was in when he died, so you will need to find a human family willing to raise him. I don't care how you do that, but it must be of their own free will. Second, Izumi has remembered a good portion of his past lately, so if you're plan fails he will immediately be turned into a ghost. And last, his memories of being a shinigami will be erased."
"I understand."
Izumi and Jonathan were observing their next victim.
"All right Izumi-kun it's time." Izumi started to summon the weapon that would end the victim's life, but suddenly looked at the child's face one more time. The girl was so innocent… He faltered.
"You do it Jonathan." He turned to leave.
"But Izumi-kun…"
"I…I just can't do it anymore…" And with that he flew off.
"What's my problem lately? I used to love my job, but I can't stand it anymore."
"It's because you learned how to have compassion." A mysterious voice answered from behind him. Izumi whirled around.
"Who's there?" He saw no one and no one answered. "Great, now I'm hearing things." He laughed bitterly. "Just what I need." He sat and leaned against a brick wall.
"I just can't figure anything out anymore." And with that the tears that he'd been trying so hard to hold in came spilling out.
'Oh, Izumi," Meroko thought. 'I hope this works.'
Suddenly a comforting presence surrounded him. "It's all right now, you're not alone anymore."
Meroko was watching the unconscious form off the young blond fondly.
"He's so little… and so cute. How could anyone ever want to hurt him?"
The little boy was stirring. He sat up and looked at her blankly.
"Who are you?" He asked quietly, almost to himself as if afraid for anyone to hear him. Meroko bit back tears and forced herself to smile. 'I seem to be acquiring a habit of having those closest to me forget about me.'
"I'm an angel and I'm here to help you." The little boy just looked at her and said nothing. "You weren't happy at home were you?" He just stared harder at the ground working hard to hold back the tears that were threatening.
"I love my mommy." Meroko was slightly taken aback by this answer. 'After all she did to him how could he still love her?'
"Of coarse you do sweetie, but I'm here to give you a mommy and daddy that will love you too." 'Because a sweet child like you deserves so much better than that witch.' She thought to herself. But to him she said; "Is that alright with you?" He gave an almost imperceptible nod of his head. Meroko gathered him up in her arms and gave him a big hug.
It was a bright sunny day at the Kira residence and only one thing disturbed the quiet peace of the summer air.
"Takuto! Takuto!" Mitsuki yelled. "Where is he?! Honestly after all we've been through together you'd think that he could at least clean the bathroom when it's his turn! But no! He's probably at the studio playing around with some of his friends."
"I know, I'll make him stay home and do it on his next day off while Ooshige and I have a girl's day out! I'm sure Wakaouji-sensai can find something to keep himself busy while I borrow his wife." Suddenly a familiar yell pierced the air.
"Mitsuki come out here quick!"
"Well I guess I found him. How disappointing, he was in the back yard all along. So much for my brilliant plan." She muttered. Mitsuki walked quickly to the back yard but stopped short when she saw why Takuto had called her.
Yes I am evil! Don't worry though I'm having too much fun writing this, so the next chapter will be up soon.
Hope that wasn't to confusing! Some more stuff will get clarified in the next chapter.
If Mitsuki seems a little ooc read the last chapter of the manga and you'll understand.
Please Review!
