Chapter 6 - Find The Way

Notes: Hehe.. if you listen to jpop, you'll know the title of this chapter is a song... a very good song... Anyways, this chapter was written after a break and an enormous flow ofthought (written in 15 min!) so please enjoy


Full Moon's energy levels were minimal: in the span of a few hours, she had been happy, frightened, chased, and heartbroken. She wanted to just shut off from the world; to just give up, to see Eichi again...

It had started to snow lightly in the cold, dark alley. Full Moon transformed into Mitsuki to save energy. She did not know what to do. Ooshige had been kidnapped, Keichiro had been hurt badly. What was she to do now? Where would she go? If they were looking for her, they would surely search the area and find her, and then what would happen? She just wanted all her problems to go away, she couldn't stand anything at all.

She stopped and sat down on a rusted building fire exit. She could tell that Meroko and Takuto could sense her anguish, which explained the silence. Her head slowly drifted sideways and rested on the railing. The snow looked blurry in her weary eyes. In her emotionless state, she began softly humming Eternal Snow. She hummed for about a minute, then began to drift asleep. As her head lolled sideways, the snow began to fall thicker...

Tanaka and Takuto were dancing in a grand hall. They were both dressed in wedding aparrel.

"Oh, Tanaka, I'm so glad I met you" said Takuto as he smiled. Tanaka also smiled, but at that precise moment, her head burst open and an octopus formed in the spot she was moments ago. "

"Tanaka! TANAKA!" Takuto began to weep. The ceiling disappeared into thin air, and a godly voice boomed down on Mitsuki.

"Mitsuki...I will always be there for you..." Mitsuki looked up and caught a glimpse of a handsome face beaming down at her. He had blonde hair and brown eyes. He looked very familiar.

"E..." Mitsuki began to speak his name, but she did not finish. She awoke with a start, and her brain was ticking away. She just put something together. Just as she was about to voice her thoughts to Takuto and Meroko, Takuto interrupted.

"Mitsuki! Meroko and I were looking around the corner and they're coming! Quick! Get up!" he said in a hurried voice. Mitsuki got up and began to run. As she ran, she transformed back into Full Moon. Her dream gave her something to run for. She was inspired once again; she was determined to find Ooshige and Keichiro. Her spirit had sored, and so did her blindness. She did not know where she was running, it was like her feet were carrying her. After a while, she ended up in an area next to an abandoned factory. The sign red "Kawaii Cookie Factory". She remembered Tanaka telling her about the "good old days" when she used to eat Kawaii Cookies. After this random thought, she had an instinct to go into the factory. Her legs, yet again, carried her into the factory and she browsed around. She walked down a blackened hallway and opened a door. Tied to a chair, she saw a male figure, who was slumped over. She immediately knew it was Keichiro. Full Moon ran to his side.

"Keichiro! Are you ok?" she whispered urgently into his ear.

"Yeah...are we gonna just whisper all day, or are ya gonna untie me..?" he said comically. Tears filled her eyes. She gave him a watery smile and untied him. He coughed for a while, then stared at Mitsuki.

"Er...are you ok? Did you get injured?" asked Mitsuki.

"Yeah, just a little scratch.." he said. He seemed to be hiding something, but Full Moon didn't know what. "You know, this reminds me of how stupid you are..." he said shortly. Mitsuki thought that this was a funny joke, but when the lights suddenly flung into life, she was caught in the headlights like a deer.

"You were stupid to come here" said Keichiro. But when Mitsuki turned to confront him, she found out that he was indeed not Keichiro. His hair nearly fooled her, but the face distinguished the new attitude.

"There's no where to run, we've finally got you, Full Moon"
