~A Long Forgotten Memory~

The loud splatter of salty rain woke me up. I looked around absently and took in my surroundings. This place was… familiar. Sleepily, I rubbed my eyes and tried to calm my growing headache. Using the fence to stand up from the wet ground, I noticed the rain didn't affect me at all. While people ran to find refuge from this downpour, while thunder stroke without mercy, I felt as if I was in a completely different space. I wasn't wet, or hungry, nor did anyone notice me at all. It was then I suddenly remembered.

That's right, I somehow found myself back in my childhood and I was standing in front of the orphanage I had lived in with Eichi-kun…

Eichi-kun!

Thus, I made a mad dash towards the orphanage's front door and just as I thought, I completely went through it. As a ghost, this world's material did not affect me, just as I did not affect it. Ironically, it was as if I were a Shinigami. But I felt blessed, because I was given a second chance to see Eichi-kun and this time I will properly tell him how I feel. Even though I figured he wouldn't be able to see me, I'm sure I will feel much better if this burden is removed from my shoulders. Then, I will be able to love…

A terrible pain shot through me. I fell on my knees and clutched both sides of my head to try and calm the throbbing. Soon, tears started to fall and never have I felt this much depression, this much desperation. Who was it? Who was it I loved? Why can't I remember anything at all?! Flashes of memories came back. I saw a boy, one with cat ears and beautiful, white wings. "Who…?" I whispered, out of breath, and closed my eyes in pain.

"Mitsuki-chan!"

I looked up to see Eichi-kun run towards me, a restless expression plastered on his face. At that time, I had desperately wanted him to embrace me, to say it was okay, to make the pain go away. "Eich—"

"Are you alright Mitsuki-chan?" He ran past me to attend to a little girl. She was hurt badly on the knee and was bleeding. Dirt covered her face while her hair was a mess. But still, she smiled as if oblivious to her poor condition.

"Eichi-kun, I'm back!" she laughed happily. "Someone told me that I was being a bother because I ran away, so I promise I won't do it again anymore!" With that, Eichi launched himself and hugged her tightly. He was smiling too, but it was more of a relieved smile than a contented one.

"Please, don't ever make me worry so much anymore, Mitsuki," the blond haired boy released her and with his shirt's sleeve, cleaned her face. "Well well, someone awfully needs a bath!" playfully, he picked her up and brought her back to their room. Soon after recovering from my previous shock, I followed them and with ease passed through the door. As I've thought, they weren't able to see or hear me at all.

"Does it hurt?" he asked, concerned, when he was bandaging her knee.

"Nop!" she exclaimed joyfully. "It's because Eichi-kun is here with me!"

At that, the taller boy blushed slightly before smiling genuinely. "Thank you," he whispered, which made Mitsuki grin even more.

But a part of me knew that the little girl was somehow lying. She smiled, but that smile didn't completely belong to Eichi. There was a part of it that belonged to someone else. I grabbed my hair painfully, trying to remember who it was that used to make me so happy. Who was it? Mother? Father? Or…

"Hey kiddo!"

My eyes widen with shock. Who was that? That voice, that attitude, it was all awfully familiar. "Who…" I cried, "Who are you?!" I screamed helplessly to myself as tears filled my eyes. Why couldn't I remember?

"Don't let go so easily, idiot." A boy.

"I'll protect you with all my power!" With pure white wings and cat ears…

"Hang in there, Mitsuki!" And a gentle smile…

"Ah! It's Takuto!" My head shot up at the name. Mitsuki was pointing at the television, where a boy about my age sang on stage. He had a wide smile on, as if he really enjoyed singing. He played guitar as well, and I found his voice extremely soothing. Without knowing it, I started singing along with him. I knew the song: it was "Eternal Snow", the song I used to sing as Full Moon. Father had written it for mother, and sang it along with his band, Route L. There was him, Wakaouji-sensei and… and…

I blinked. Who was this last person?

"As usual, you really admire him, don't you Mitsuki." Eichi asked the little girl, but it was more of a statement than a question.

"Yes! It's because Takuto-nii-san sings really well and Mitsuki want's to become a singer just like him!" she blushed a little, but Eichi didn't notice.

"Is that so?"

"Yep!"

That night, as Eichi was watching the stars alone, Mitsuki hummed to herself in her room the tune of Eternal Snow while preparing for bed. She had a soft voice, because already at that time, unbeknownst to her, she had started developing a tumor in her throat. I knew, because that little girl was me. We shared the same thoughts, the same heart, the same love for… Takuto. I closed my eyes and let a small tear fall. I didn't bother to wipe it away and let it slide the long of my cheek and splatter in a million pieces as it hit the ground.

Why? I hugged my knees to my chest. Even now that I have remembered Takuto, there was some mysterious force pulling us apart. Already, my memories of him became blurry. Takuto… what are you doing right now? I closed my eyes and fell asleep on the floor, my confession to Eichi completely forgotten.

~~~oOo~~~oOo~~~

"Takuto-nii-san, what are you singing?" Mitsuki asked as she and Takuto sat in the park.

"What! You don't even know the song your own father wrote?" he asked disbelievingly. "And I am always singing it at my concerts! You can't be that stupid can you?" he teased.

"Hey! That was rude!" she fake-pouted, but soon regained her composure. "Can you teach it to me?" she asked shyly.

"What, can your small chibi brain handle a whole song? It's long, and the lyrics are difficult you know," he continued to mock her. "And you ran away from the orphanage again." He stated.

"That's alright, because I told them I was going out for a walk with a friend!" She smiled proudly. "They won't be worried for me, so please teach me! I'll learn as fast as I can!"

"Hah! If you remember it all in a week without fail, I'll grant you one wish" he challenged.

"Really?" She asked, overjoyed. "I'll definitely prove that I have good memory!"

"Think so? Better be prepared! Here, it goes like this…"

~~~oOo~~~oOo~~~

I woke up from my dream to find it clear and bright outside. It was truly the good time after the storm, I thought to myself. I rubbed my tired eyes and seeing that Mitsuki was following Eichi out, I tagged along to live those happy times once again. I was somehow afraid, that if I returned to the present, Eichi and Takuto would both disappear again. Maybe I was a coward, but I wished that moment I could stay in this past forever.

Mitsuki and Eichi reached the park, the same one as in my dream. But this time, it was Mitsuki who sang Eternal Snow. The taller boy listened without a word, closing his eyes to fully register her soft voice. When she finished, he smiled kindly at her and said it was a beautiful song.

"You truly love to sing, Mitsuki. What's the name of the song?" he asked gently.

"It was my father who wrote it to my mother! I don't know it all yet, but I'll teach it to you if you want, Eichi-kun!"

"Alright," he agreed with a smile.

And both started to hum the tune of Eternal Snow. I watched, silently, as the wind blew and as another day passed by. I wanted to scream to Eichi to stop being so nice to me. I felt despair because all this time he had been loving me, I noticed only Takuto. Why did I forget such strong feelings when Takuto appeared as a Shinigami in front of me? Why was I so ignorant towards Eichi? Did I really love him in the end, or was it because Takuto had disappeared from my life?

I shook my head. There was only one way to find out, and that was to stay in this world as long as I could. So I stood, impatiently waiting for tomorrow to refresh my memories.
