Author's note: Hey everyone!! Sorry I'm late…
I wanna take the time to thank Alana, prettyinpinkgal, MitsukixTakuto 4 ever, anita, animeluv12 and Vanilla.Swirls.Of.Doom for your reviews. Thanks a lot guys you really help me keep going: )
Again, I plan to use some songs of other animes:
For Mitsuki, I think of adding three songs between those: Life – Yui I will – Sowelu, Every Heart – BoA, Four seasons – Namie Amuro, Tsuki no KAASU – Okina Reika, Yo ga akeru mae ni – Satou Areki
For Takuto, I didn't had any good idea beside: Rewrite – Asian Kung-fu Generation
If you have suggestions or ideas for the songs that would help me a lot.
Disclaimer: I don't own Fullmoon wo sagashite. I'm just borrowing the characters and some part of the storyline to write a fanfiction. This time, I'm also borrowing the song Every Heart singed by BoA, I don't own it.

Takasu-san's Song-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
She woke up as her alarm clock rang through out her small room with that annoying sound we all know. She randomly moved her arms, hoping to reach the aggressing little sound-making machine. After a couple of seconds, her blind arm found the source of her discomfort and press the some button to make it quiet. As everything went silent, she rolled over with a happy sigh.
It took exactly nine minutes before the frustrating sound comes back. Annoyed, Mitsuki opened her eyes and looked at the object of her annoyance. She pressed the off button and realized at the same time why she used the alarm clock. Today she had a meeting with her producer, he will hand over the song that she was suppose to sing.
She happily jumped to her feet as she skipped to the bathroom for a bath. Takuto was supposed to pick her up in two hours and she couldn't wait to meet the man that Ooshige was so eager to present her. He was one of the best producer at the moment and the manager was really proud that Mitsuki would be able to work with that knowledgeable man since the young teen was so inexperience.
The girl was ready. She even took the time to dye her hair blond, she wasn't worried about her grandmother seeing her since it was so early in the morning. Takuto arrived at the moment she was closing the door from her grandmother's domain.
The young teen happily jumped on the passenger's seat beside Takuto who was driving.
"I didn't thought you could drive Takuto-kun." She couldn't help but stated her thoughts since he never had been the one driving since she knew him. He smiled and took half a second to look at her.
"I don't really like to drive. I prefer when it's someone else. But I don't really mind doing it once in a while."
He parked the car in the spot that was reserved for him and got out swiftly. Mitsuki took a deep breath and opened the car's door. She locked it and closed it behind her as she walked slowly toward the building. She was nervous at the idea of meeting her producer. What if he didn't like her? What if she wasn't able to sing the song he picked for her?
The girl sighed and stopped walking just in front of the entrance doors. Takuto stopped beside her. He looked at her and put his hands on her shoulders.
"Mitsuki?"
When she didn't move, he squeezed her shoulders lightly enough not to hurt her. She looked up to him, her pupils were shaking with doubts and her eyes were getting watery.
"Mitsuki…" Murmured the grey haired boy. He smiled at her and lowered his head so his lips were near her ear. He whispered to her very slowly and quietly.
"You don't have to be afraid Mitsuki. Everything's going to be great. You did it until now without too much trouble, didn't you? You will get through anything. I don't want you to worry. Just smile and be yourself! Everything's going to be fine, you'll see."
He lifted one of his hands to her cheek and brushed it softly. Mitsuki's eyes went wide while her cheeks coloured red. Mitsuki didn't had time to get confuse since an arm snaked its way around her shoulder as Ooshige happily chirped a good morning.
"How are you doing Mitsuki? You must be so excited! Well I am! Let's get inside, Takasu-san must already be there!"
The older woman dragged the flushed Mitsuki through the building's door while Takuto waved at her. After a moment of walking, when it seems the two of them were the only one in sight, Ooshige stopped.
"Mitsuki, you shouldn't be too close to Takuto. I don't want you to cut ties with him… that's not it. It's just that they are already rumours circulating about your audition and why you were chosen. I want to tell you, everything they can say is all false. You were chosen because you have talent. You have to be strong Mitsuki. Are you going to be alright?"
"Don't worry Ooshige-san. Takuto already told me this could happen. I am prepared. Everything is fine!" She smiled at her manager.
"That's good then. Come on, Takasu-san must be waiting!"
Mitsuki smiled and followed her manager.
Before Ooshige Masami could even open the door, a man with a short beard and a suit came out.
"Ooshige-san, did you happen to see Murakami-kun?"
She shook her head, signalling she hadn't seen him.
"He was supposed to be here thirty minutes ago…" The man looked down with a stern look that change into a smile.
"Good morning, you must be Mitsuki!"
"Yes, I'm Kouyama Mitsuki. Take care of me please!"
"Please to meet you Mitsuki, I will be your producer, call me Takasu-san. Work hard for now on! Follow me inside my office, please."
"Please, take a seat."
Mitsuki and Masami sat down on the chairs in front of Takasu's desk. They waited patiently for him to talk. After a couple of second, he had some papers in hand and handed them to Mitsuki while he handed some others to Masami.
Mitsuki was so excited, this was the project for her very first single. She turned some pages and found the lyrics of the song she was about to sing.
"I'm sorry but, what is the melody of this song?"
Takasu-san smiled. He stood up and put a CD in the player that was lying on the counter.
"It should sound a little like this, the music is just for you to be able to feel the song, it will be adapted to your singing but if you want to try a little it was meant to sound a little like this…"
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
Mitsuki closed her eyes. Her producer pressed the "play" button and took a deep breath before starting the song in a deep low voice.
"Ikutsu namida wo nagashitara
Every Heart sunao ni nareru darou"
How many tears must be shed
Every Heart, Before we can become honest?
Mitsuki listened well to the first two lines before opening her eyes and singing with him in a soft voice that grew stronger with more confidence with every words.
"Dare ni omoi wo tsutaetara"
To whom must we proclaim our feelings
Takasu-san stopped singing and listened to the young girl in front of him.
"Every Heart kokoro mitasareru no darou"
Every Heart, So that we can no longer feel loneliness?
She smiled and sang softly her next lines.
"Nagai nagai yoru ni obieteita
Tooi hoshi ni inotteta"
I was frightened by the long, long nights
I prayed to the distant stars
Mitsuki just let herself get captured by the music as she sang with more vivacity with her arms dancing in front of her:
"Meguru meguru toki no naka de"
Round and round in looping time
"Bokutachi wa ai wo sagashiteiru"
We are searching for love
She opened her arms wide and sang the lyrics that were placed on the desk before her with all her heart.
"Tsuyoku tsuyoku naritai kara"
For we want to grow stronger and stronger
"Kyou mo takai sora miageteiru"
We still look up to the high skies today
The blond teen just took the time to inhale some air before bringing her arms to her heart and singing the last part of the lyrics.
"Meguru meguru toki no naka de"
Round and round in looping time
"Bokutachi wa ikite nanika wo shiru"
We live and come to understand things
Lyrics already in mind, she looked up to see if her producer and her manager liked her singing as she sang the two last lines.
"Toki ni warai sukoshi naite"
At times laughing, sometimes crying,
"Kyou mo mata aruki tsudzukete yuku"
We will continue to walk again today
The music ended softly.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
Mister Takasu smiled while Ooshige Masami clapped very loudly.
"That is most incredible, Mitsuki. You got into the feeling of the song so easily, I'm looking forward to work with you. Keep the CD and the lyrics. I hope you like the song."
"Yes, Takasu-san. I like this song very much! How could you write something that could be that close to what I wanted to sing?"
Takasu laughed a little.
"Well, you have to thank your manager for that."
Mitsuki looked at them with a bewildered face. She didn't know how to interpret that information. Seeing her puzzlement, Masami decided to explain.
"Well, Mitsuki, even though the delay was really short, I asked Takasu-san for your first song to be simple and gentle, since you have a gentle soul. I also asked Takuto if he had some idea of what kind of song you would really like to sing and he came up with some lyrics that Takasu-san rearranged a little. We all worked pretty hard on this song, that's why we hoped you'd like it."
Masami smiled and Mitsuki grinned while holding the lyrics to her heart.
"Mitsuki, now that you have received the plan for you debut's song, I wanted to know if you wanted to appeared as Mitsuki Kouyama or do you want to use a stage name? That's really important to decided now, since were going to shoot the photos for you single in two days."
"Takasu-san, if it's possible, I'd like to have a stage name. I'd like to be call Fullmoon."
Takasu smiled.
"That's what I thought since Ooshige-san already told me you had use a stage name before. I will let you go for today, I have a meeting with the musicians that will play the music for your song in fifteen minutes. I hope you'll be there by seven tomorrow morning, we will have a long day."
Takasu smiled again before leaving his office.
Masami turned to look at Mitsuki.
"What do you think Mitsuki, is it going the way you wanted it to?"
"No, not at all… it's way better!"
The girls laughed a little and left Takasu's office. Takuto met up with them and Ooshige left to go take care of some details concerning the photo shoot in two days.
Takuto and Mitsuki were all alone and the uneasy feeling from this morning came back instantly.
"Well how about we go out for lunch, it's almost noon?"
A guy ran turned a corner and ran past Mitsuki and Takuto while muttering strongly something that sounded like "No, I'm late!". The boy stopped in his tracks and came back to where Takuto and Mitsuki were standing.
"Hey, you're new? I'm Wakamatsu Murakami. You're cute, wanna go out on a date?"
Takuto and Mitsuki looked at each other then back at the guy.
"Hi… yes I'm new here, I'm Mitsuki, Kouyama Mitsuki. I just… wait you said you were Murakami, I'm sure I heard your name before…"
The boy, Murakami, smiled broadly while Takuto was refraining himself from making gagging sounds.
"Most be, I'm a pretty famous model around here. I had a meeting with Takasu-san…"
"Oh, you're the one Takasu-san was mad at because you didn't show up this morning."
Mitsuki said while remembering Takasu coming out of his office with a frustrate look on his face. The smile on Murakami twisted a little, not enough for Mitsuki, that wasn't paying attention, to see though. Takuto couldn't help but laughed a little.
"What is it Kira? Don't you think one girlfriend is enough? Stop going around showing off with that girl."
An annoyed look appeared on Takuto's face. He had been bad talked behind his back by most of his peers all week and than here comes little Wakamatsu and his all-knowing attitude. Even though he was prepared for this, Takuto couldn't take it anymore.
"THAT GIRL as you say is my friend. THAT GIRL won't go on a date with you because THAT GIRL is a lot wiser than that. My girlfriend is my girlfriend… anyway, who ever I go out with is none of your business." He punched the guy in the stomach before taking Mitsuki's hand and walking away. While walking away, he squeezed Mitsuki's hand so hard that she silently whimpered as they made their way to a vacant studio.
When they stopped in front of the door Mitsuki tried to talk to her friend.
"Takuto?"
He didn't answered, and his hand still held hers as tightly.
"Takuto?"
He didn't moved. He was liked he didn't even notice her here. She tried with a slightly stronger voice.
"Takuto?"
He looked at her, seeing her face contorted in hidden pain, he let go of her hand and put his owns up to cover his eyes.
"I'm sorry, Mitsuki. I didn't meant to hurt you. I just cracked… all week, all that stuff they said. Stuff about you, about me… about us…"
The girl put an hand on his shoulder and the other one on one of his hands. He lowered his hands, surprised by her touch and looked at her eyes. She smiled.
"Don't worry Takuto, it's going to be alright. If you want, we can stopped hanging around each other for a little while. That way it will be easier for the both of us. Ooshige-san was the one who suggested it."
Takuto looked pained. He didn't know why it seemed so hard to be away from Mitsuki, even for a short while. He couldn't place his finger on what was wrong with these feelings. He knew he cared deeply for Mitsuki… as a friend. Yes, he cared deeply for Mitsuki but only as a friend, so why was it so hard? Mitsuki sadly smiled at him.
"Yeah maybe it'll be better for a while. We don't have to not see each other at all, just not hang out. So if we see each other here we could still talk and laugh… It wouldn't be too different from what it usually is, don't you think?"
With each words he uttered, he could see hurt growing in Mitsuki's eyes. What could he do?
He embrace her.
He didn't know how to deal with this, so he embraced her, making all the pain and hurt go away for a second. His cheeks coloured red and he pressed her against his body. Mitsuki respond to this embrace. She snaked her arms around his waist, pressing her cheek to his neck. Warm tears fell down her eyes while she tried to restrain them.
He broke the embrace and he looked down at her face. Her eyes were screaming that she didn't want this but she smiled.
"I'll see you around then. Thanks Takuto."
He smiled and her, silencing a strange urge to kiss her lips. He pushed the feeling aside, since friends are not supposed to want to kiss each other.
"Yeah, see you. Thanks Mitsuki."
With that he just walked out, letting Mitsuki alone in the studio. When Takuto had disappeared out the door, she let herself fall to her knees and then on her bottom. Why was she feeling like she was breaking apart as Takuto left the room?
Isn't that a sign of being heartbroken?
How could she be heartbroken if she wasn't in love with Takuto to begin with? She was in love with Eichi-kun. Eichi-kun… Why hadn't she been thinking about him recently? She was confused and silent tears fell down on the floor.
She didn't know what to do. She just took out her cell phone and pressed the number that she knew the best:
- - Hi, Madoka's speaking, who is it? - -
"Madoka, it's Mitsuki."
- - Mitsuki? Are you alright, you sound like you're crying! - -
"Madoka, are you at your job?"
- - Yes, but Mitsuki? - -
The older sister seemed really worried about the younger one. The purple haired girl, didn't know what to do, she just flipped her hair with a nervous movement of her hand.
"Is that okay if I come see you? I need to talk with you."
- - Yes Mitsuki, you can come, I'm in the studio E-541 right now. Just take the elevator to the fifth floor and its on your left. I'll be waiting Mitsuki. Be careful. I love you. - -
"Thanks, I love you too Madoka."
Mitsuki hung up and went to the bathroom to get clean a little. Seeing that blond colour in her hair, she did her best to take it off. With her hair still damp, she walk out of the building to where her sister's was working, the building next to Kazura's production.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
Don't worry, it's not ending yet. This is just what is gonna set everything into motion.
I know this chapter doesn't end too well and it might seemed like nothing good is happening in the next chapter either. But first they have to realize they are starting to have feelings for each other. This is the fastest way, and the easiest way too. Sorry guys…
Review to tell me what you think. Constructive critics are welcome, I really want to improve my writing.
