I am insane. Just insane. But these ideas, they just hit me like a Frisbee to the head!

This tale begins in the past, with an old woman, a magical flower, and a kingdom.

Long ago, before you or I or even indoor plumbing, there was this old guy named Izaya.

Izaya was sneaky and manipulative and an altogether unpleasant person. He was reaching the age where most people either contract a terrible disease or drop down dead on the way up the stairs of the old folk's home.

And Izaya was terrified of dying.

So when he found a flower, grown from a Dullahan tear fallen from the heavens, he was ecstatic. Izaya was a well-read person, and he knew that magical creatures had healing properties. He put two and two together and realized that this flower could heal anyone who sang to it.

When he did sing to it (and don't ask me to mimic his voice, because if you can imagine the creepiness of his speaking voice then you don't want to hear it belting an operetta) he grew younger, until he appeared to be twenty-one forever.

Well, this continued for a while. And while Izaya was living alone, visiting the flower every night to absorb its healing powers, a kingdom grew not too far away.

This kingdom was ruled peacefully by a king and queen by the name of Tsugaru and Psyche. The two of them had been hoping for a child since they were crowned, and it was to their great joy that Psyche finally got pregnant.

But this is the point in the story where most things go bad.

As if God were playing a cruel joke, Psyche grew ill. Deathly ill. He couldn't sing (something he was famous for in the kingdom), he couldn't walk (something that really helps in ruling the kingdom), and Tsugaru spent all his time at his bedside (something that doesn't really help in ruling the kingdom).

So, they looked for a miracle.

And that miracle just happened to be a legendary flower, born from a tear; one that none had ever seen though the stories lived on in books and fairy tales.

Tsugaru sent out many men in search of the magical flower, desperate for his wife's life. It was a last ditch attempt. None who had searched had ever found the flower, because Izaya kept it well hidden. Along with being a manipulative old coot, he was also greedy.

But it just so happened that Izaya, after living alone for so many years, had let himself grow soft.

So when the group of soldiers came climbing up towards the cliff where the flower had bloomed, he panicked and knocked over the fake bush it was hidden under as he ran away.

Naturally, the unearthly white glow brought the soldiers over, who brought the flower back to the kingdom. Shinra, the best healer in the realm, immediately concocted a remedy from the flower. Psyche drank it, was saved, and had the baby.

Together, they dubbed the boy 'Mikado'. Pretty big name to live up to, huh?

With the promise of a new child in the air, the kingdom celebrated late into the night.

But little did the happy couple know, Izaya had been watching from behind the trees as the soldiers brought the flower away, and his observation skills were still sharp enough to spot the smoky design on their blue cloaks.

So later that night, while the parents were sleepy with the exertion of celebration, Izaya stole into the baby's room and started to sing.

Mikado's hair glowed white in the darkness the same way the flower did, but when Izaya went to cut a piece of hair the glow instantly vanished, and he was left with the boy's natural black locks.

Quick to figure out the problem, Izaya stole the baby straight from its crib and vanished into the night.

By the time Tsugaru and Psyche noticed, it was too late.

The years passed, and the kingdom mourned their lost child by sending lanterns into the sky every year on his birthday. Though Izaya forbade Mikado to leave the tower, as he grew older he would sneak to window to watch them, entranced by their beauty.

And this is where Mikado's story begins.

AN: , why are you filling ANOTHER request when you already have 3 going?

Because I'm insane.

And it's summer and all my friends are on vacation on different continents. And it's Camp NaNoWriMo. And I can't stay away from the Tangled soundtrack.

Look! My first drrr! fanfic where the idea wasn't handed to me on a silver platter! Success! d(w)b

Original prompt:Masaomi/Mikado-anything.

Seriously, I'm cool with practically anything (as long as Mikado is uke).I just need to see more of this pairing, because I absolutely love it and I've read pretty much every fic for it already. It would be great if I could get more than one fill, as you can do anything your heart desires. Oh, and chaptered fills would also be much appreciated, though oneshots are fantastic too~

So there you go! Dropping a review would be much appreciated!

And thank you to those who have been heavily reviewing on my other stories as well! Makes me feel so loved!
