Author's Notes: Hi ya! ^_^ Well I've heard that Fullmoon o Sagashite is nearing its end and suddenly I felt I really have to write this fic… I've watched some episodes including episode 50… I'm hoping to see episode 51 this week if my friend could lend me… eheheh, so naturally, SPOILERS AHEAD!!! ^_^ I do suggest that you read this while listening to all of Fullmoon's songs. Well, then enjoy reading!
Oops, I forgot…

This Hand Won't Let Go… ForeverBy Midori Syosetsuka
Wakamatsu Madoka has just finished singing her own version of Eternal Snow and now Fullmoon has just stepped up the stage singing the first song she has sung in public, "New Future". Somehow, seeing Fullmoon on stage (finally!) gave relief to her producer and manager, as well as her concealed friends…
"Nee miagete konna ni hiroi yozora dakara
Sou sugu ni wakaru you ni
Seiippai kagayaku kara hayaku
FULL MOON (FU-RU MU-N) wo sagashite…"
The crowd burst into loud cheers as she went along with the beat and sang her first song for the event, which she dedicated for all those who are present there…
"Many thanks for you…" Fullmoon sang the last measure with her head up, facing all her audience, a thin sheet of sweat made her face gleam.
"Sa, Minna, how was that?" she said cheerfully, "That's only the beginning, we've got loads more for tonight!"
"YEAHHHH!!!!!!" the crowd cheered, but then it was quickly hushed when the band played the intro for Eternal Snow.
"Kimi wo suki ni natte dorekurai tatsu no kana
Kimochi fukurande yuku bakari de
Kimi wa kono omoi kizuiteiru no kana
Ichido mo kotoba ni wa shitenai kedo…"Fullmoon sang with her all, looking at the audience, her friends…This is the dream they all created… From afar, floated two Shinigamis that constantly stood vigil over the singer.
"Mitsuki, sure is giving her all, ne Takuto?" Meroko said as they watched the show. She noticed that Takuto is silent and then it hit her… The flower is finally taking effect.
"Who am I?" Takuto asked, "Why am I here?"
Sadly, Meroko willed herself not to cry even if her eyes are getting blurry. Meroko then turned herself to Takuto and said, "Takuto… you are… we are here for her…" Meroko's extended hand pointed to none other than the singing teen on stage.
"I love you namida tomaranai
Konnanja kimi no koto
Shirazuni ireba yokatta yo…"
"That's such a nice song… It's the first time I've heard it… It touches the soul… giving it a feeling of warmth…" Takuto said and in an instant Meroko remembered… the time when they where thinking of what kind of image would they use for the song and the night when Mitsuki almost died and Takuto almost became a ghost.
"The title of the song is Eternal Snow… it's one of her most important songs," Meroko said as she wiped her tears and smiled at him.
"Huh, is that why she sings it with so much emotion?" he asked.
"Yeah…" was all she could say.
"Eien ni furuyuki na aru nara
Kimi ato tsuzuku kono omoi
Kakseru no kana…"
"Hold me tight konna omoi nara
Dareka wo suki ni naru kimochi
Shiritaku nakatta yo…"
"I love you mune ni komiageru
Fuyuzora ni sakebi tai
Ima sugu kimi ni aitai yo…"
After Fullmoon finished singing there was a little break, so the two Shinigamis went to the back stage to check on her.
"Mitsuki, you were great!" Meroko said as she hugged her friend, Takuto just stared at them, "Aren't you going to say something, Takuto?" Before Meroko realized what she said it was too late…
" Who are you?" was all he said.
In an instant Mitsuki's eyes welled with tears, but she pushed them back and forced a smile. "You have to be strong…" she thought. "I'm Kouyama Mitsuki…"
"Fullmoon-san, you've got five minutes more!" an attendant said before Mitsuki could say more.
"Ja, Mitsuki!" Meroko said as she shoved Takuto and went out, but before that she looked at her in the eye that seemed to speak volumes… Mitsuki just smiled a sad smile at her.
Fullmoon watched her friends disappear through the wall before putting on a different costume for the rest of her concert…
Meroko and Takuto went back to their station to watch. Once the lights turned on Fullmoon was at the center of the stage wearing a white dress with a pair of wings.
"Welcome back, Minna!" she said through a fabricated smile, she keeps smiling for the people around her… even if she hurts inside… "This next song is dedicated to all the people who helped me build my dream…" she looked at all her friends, Ooshige-san, Wakaouji-sensei, her grandmother, Tanaka-san, Madoka… "Minna, this is our dream…" Her eyes searched for her two most important friends before she said, "This song is for you…"
"Doushite doushite suki nan darou
Konna ni namida afureteru…"
Meroko smiled, despite the tears that are threatening to fall, she's so touched at what Fullmoon said.
"Ne, Meroko, who is she talking about?" Takuto said.
She smiled at Takuto and replied, "Didn't you hear? It's for the ones who helped her reach her dreams…"
Mitsuki put all her feelings in her song and as she looked up at the starlit sky and the moon she thought, "Ne, Otou-san, Okaa-san, Eichi-kun, I've become what I've dreamed of… Are you watching..? Are you listening..?"
"Ano koro ha ushinau mono ga oosukite nani mo utaenakatta
Sukoshi hanareta basho soko ga watashi no ibasho data…"
"Kimi no hitomi no oku ni ano hi samishisa wo mitsuketa
Futari niteru no kana?
Kitsukeba itsu mo tonari ni ite kureta…"
Meroko can no longer suppress her tears as she heard Mitsuki. She remembered the time when she got the Mystic Lily from the Shinigami world, how Mitsuki channeled her feelings through her song… Their song…
"Oi, Meroko, daijoubu?" Takuto asked worriedly, he can't understand what's happening around him but he does understand that the people around him are sad about something, which sadly, he doesn't know, is because of him…
"Daijoubu yo, Takuto… It's just that…" Meroko can no longer take the pressure so she left…
"Nakinagara sagashi tsuduketa maigo no kodomo no you ni
Kedo soko ni ha eien nante aru wake nakute…"
""Dare mo shinjinakereba iin da yo" tsubuyaita ne
Futari niteru no kana?
Ano toki kimi wo mamoru to kimeta no ni…"
Takuto just stood there, bewildered and yet he still listened intently to Mitsuki's song… Until suddenly he felt an intense pain course through his body… And there in front of him stood a girl…
"Ne, Takuto…" the girl said as they watched the sunrise on a beach.
Then he was with the same girl only he was kissing her…
Then, there they are again in some sort of canyon, "Takuto, you're an important friend, that's why…" she said.
The same girl lying down covered in snow… before he carried her to safety…
And finally, the same girl saying, "Takuto, I love you…" before she reaches him and they kiss…
"Meroko, you have to be strong for both of them!" Meroko scolded herself as she made her way back to the balcony where she left Takuto… To her shock he wasn't there… All she found was his cat-hat and suddenly a cold feeling washed over her… "Takuto… iie," she choked with her own sobs but still she promised herself she'd be strong for all of them… "Takuto…"
"Doushite kimi wo suki nattenn darou… Kantan sugite kotae ni naranai…" Mitsuki trailed her voice before she bowed deeply to her audience. Then she stood straight and said in a cheerful voice, "Hai, Minna, this would be the last! Thank you very much for all of your support!"
All the lights went out for five seconds before they all lit to form a fantastic light show and suddenly the stage was covered with dry ice… It created the illusion of an angel hovering on top of the stage. Only the angel isn't Fullmoon… to everyone's surprise, on the stage stood Kouyama Mitsuki!
Mitsuki didn't look panicked, instead she stood there proud and confident… She sighed and began her song… "This is it…" she thought, "My last…"
"Naze darou koi no shikata sae sukkari wasureteta
Deai wa itsuka kuru wakare no hajimari to
Itsu no manika kimetsukete ita…"
Mitsuki didn't think of what other people might think of her after this…all she wants is to fulfill her dreams and this was it… but still somehow she felt lonely until, from the back stage stepped a stranger…
Everyone was amazed at how one's voice could blend with another, even Mitsuki was amazed…
"Aisareta ikara aishitai wake jyanai
Massugu aisuru yuuki o kureta ne…"
When the stranger went beside her he smiled and suddenly Mitsuki understood everything… And so they kept on singing with lighter hearts… for they both knew that their reasons are pure…
"Fushigi da ne itsumo no keshiki mo tokubetsu ni miete kuru
Hana ya tori ya umi kaze yama amai taiyou
Subete kagayaki yori sou naka…"
"Tokenai JIGUSOU no saigo no PIISU mitsuketa yo
Ooki na anata no senaka watashi mamorare tsuite yuku eien ni…"
"Ima made konna ni mawari michi shita kedo
Massugu aisuru jishin o moteta ne…"
"Asu kara no yume ni futari ima yukau yo
Nani ga atte mo hitomi sorasanai…"
Wakaouji-sensei smiled at Ooshige-san, both still confused yet happy on how things turned out…
Izumi draped his arm on Meroko's shoulder and passed a note to her that made her stare at him before he nodded and they embrace…
From the sky three figures watched over them, Aoi, Hazuki, and Eichi, each smiling with the eternal moon and stars over the couple on stage…
Takuto held Mitsuki's hand and together they sang the final lines of their song…
"Aisareta ikara aishita iwake jyanai
Massugu aisuru yuuki o kureta ne…"
"Asu kara no yume ni futari ima yukau yo
Nani ga atte mo hitomi sorasanai…"
"Aisareta ikara aishita iwake jyanai
Massugu aisuru yuuki o kureta ne…"
"Kore kara no tabi ni futari ima chikau yo
Nani ga atte mo…"
Takuto instinctively tighten his hold on her hand, "Kono te hanasanai…ZUTTO…"
Everyone burst into a loud applause as the song ended… Then all of a sudden Mitsuki burst into tears as Takuto embraced her.
"Welcome Mitsuki," he said as he smiled lovingly at her, "to the first day of our new lives…"
Mitsuki pulls back for a while to smile at her countenance before saying a cheerful, "Hai!" and hugged Takuto again…
*O*W*A*R*I*
Author's notes: Well, I sure do hope that FMoS ends with a happy ending… though mine is very unlikely to happen since I've heard rumors that… Oopsies! Eheheheheh, spoilers! Not that this fanfic is already reeking with tons of it, since I've given off a lot, there ought to have some more suspense. Besides, episode 52 would be shown soon, neh? Please review and tell me what you think… But I'll love you more if you'll e-mail me at syosetsuka@yahoo.com
SoRe Ja!! ^_^;
