Okay, you can skip to the next chapter if you want, because this is all basically ramblings. But it includes some important details, and it is kind of interesting to see how the girls react to Mitsuki going with Takuto, though. This chapter will be very short, due to me wanting to not ramble anymore.

Oh, and the manga is incredibly sad and happy at the same time. I just finished reading it.

Disclaimer: I do not own Fullmoon Wo Sagashite, or any of its characters. I do, however, own this story and plot.

Chapter IV: The Blizzard Bash

"Master Kira, would you mind singing one of Route L.'s songs for us?" one of the supervisors of the Blizzard Bash asked.

Takuto shook his head no hastily and hurried off, dragging Mitsuki by her hand. The teacher looked at him and wondered, His throat has healed, hasn't it? Why can't he sing?

Mitsuki jerked her land loose from Takuto's death grip on her. As soon as she tried to follow Takuto, she slammed into Tamira. To be more specific, Tamira's back.

"Takuto, will you dance with me?" Tamira asked, trying to regain some of the dignity that she lost after Takuto rejected her. She had been scorned by boys and girls alike for the week, something she was definitely not used to.

Takuto sighed and Mitsuki pulled him away, onto the dance floor, where a lively song with a strong upbeat was starting. Mitsuki started to dance with Takuto in the mobs and mobs of moving bodies. Tamira watched them go, her dignity pushed down even farther.

------------

While they were dancing, something flashed into Takuto's mind, and kept flashing in and out. Damn these stupid memories…he thought bitterly as the song ended and a new one, a slow song, began.

Mitsuki backed off of the dance floor. She didn't want to dance to a slow song with Takuto, no matter how much her feelings had grown during his time as a Shinigami. He didn't remember his time as one, so why should she act like she did? A tear formed in her eye as she led an immobile Takuto to the drinks table. She didn't notice his hand clutched to his head as memories poured in.

Takuto floated towards Mitsuki. Her eyes widened, and her head was raised. Takuto floated to her, changed his mind halfway, and floated past her. "It's now or never" was in his mind. "I love you, Mitsuki." …

"Mitsukiiiii!" Takuto yelled, blasting through the air to reach the body on the ground at the intersection. He turned her over and listened to her breathing – except that she had no sound. She wasn't breathing.

Takuto looked at Mitsuki. Only one thing to do now…unless she wanted to die. He lowered his head to hers – his arms now hugging her body to his chest – his lips now pressing against hers…

"Eichi…died two years ago," the old woman said sadly…

"Mitsuki! Mitsuki! Wake up!" screamed Takuto, shaking her, trying to keep above the falling snow. He looked to the gravestone she had collapsed at. Sakurai Eichi, it read.

"You idiot, Mitsuki, why'd you…" he shouted, flying off into the night, carrying her.

"This is the Flower of Forgetfulness," Mitsuki said. "One touch to your lips and you will forget all your memories."

"All!" Takuto yelled. "Don't joke around!"

"But at this rate, you'll turn into a ghost!"…

"Takuto, let's start our new lives tomorrow," Mitsuki said, grasping Takuto's arms. He replied, "Okay…you're right."

Mitsuki hesitated, then said, "Takuto…I love you." She approached him and softly at first, then getting more intense, kissed him…

"Man, don't make me worry," Takuto said in relief as he caught Mitsuki. He looked up. "That bastard's going to pay!" He lifted her up, ignoring Saegusa's cry of "Whaaat? She's floating?" …

"Idiot! Don't hug me so suddenly!" Takuto yelled at Mitsuki. Mitsuki said, "I liked your singing, Takuto."

"So you did hear me!"

"But…that's 'cause…"

"Takuto? TAKUTO, ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?" Mitsuki asked (and roared at) him. "Come on, the dance is over, and all you've been doing for the past hour is hold your head and smile or grimace!" she yelled, pulling him by the hand to his car. (Yes, he has a license.)

"Mitsuki…"

"What?" Mitsuki looked at him curiously. His face expression was unreadable.

"I've…remembered…a lot more…as a Shinigami…I'm who I was before now. And you really need to stop hugging me so suddenly," he added, because Mitsuki was hugging him and crying incoherently. "What did you say?" Takuto asked.

Mitsuki looked up. "I said, 'I'm glad that you're back to normal, Takuto…'"

-------------

"Oshige-san! Oshige-san, wait for me, Oshige-san!" Mitsuki yelled as she caught a glimpse of Fullmoon's previous manager, stumbling into the Seed Record building, ignoring all the stares she was getting from the workers there.

Takuto followed her in a bit dazedly. He was getting annoyed by how much he was getting dragged around by the hand by Mitsuki. He stumbled tripped, and did a face-plant, while yelling, "Mitsuki! Slow down, would you?"

Mitsuki was not listening. Takuto cursed lightly, getting up and brushing himself off. He quickly dashed after Mitsuki, and came face to face with Masami Oshige.

Okay, it was basically all ramblings again, but I hope you like it. There are some very important details, though, like Takuto regaining all his memories.
