"Misaki, it's time for bed honey," the gentle voice of a raven haired queen said. Her daughter looked up at her, wide-eyed.

"Mommy, you promised you'd read me a bedtime story!" she pouted, as she grabbed a book that lay beside her and raised it into the air. Her mother smiled.

"Of course. How could I have forgotten?" she laughed to herself, taking the book out of the six-year-old's hands. The book she had chosen was far too difficult for the small girl to understand- though it was the only one she had since it was a gift from her father. The only gift she had to remember him by.

The raven haired woman opened the book to the first page and began making up her own story.

"Once upon a time, there lived a young princess at the age of 17. She lived in the kingdom of Seika, while Seika was at war with the kingdom of Miyabigaoka. Her name was Mina. One day, she met a boy of her age named Saku, only it turns out he was on the opposing side." Minako started.

"So did Mina and Saku hate each other?" Misaki inquired innocently. Her mother shook her head slowly.

"No. They fell in love." she replied. The young girl stared curiously at her mother and waited for the story to continue. "But...that was the biggest mistake they could've made." she whispered.

"Huh? What happened?" she wondered. Minako forced a smile onto her face as she glanced at her daughter.

"Then the kingdoms called off the war and everyone lives happily ever after. The end." she said quickly, leaning over and planting a kiss on the young girl's forehead. "Goodnight."

Knock knock!

"Hmm…?" the raven haired princess groaned.

Knock knock!

"Your highness, it's time for you to get up now," a familiar maid called from outside the door. Misaki's eyes flew open at her voice.

"Ah, Satsuki! Come in," she called. Satsuki obeyed and opened her bedroom door. "What brings you here so early in the morning?" she inquired with a smile. Satsuki's expression, however, wasn't so happy.

"Your highness-"

"Misaki."

"Princess Misaki," Satsuki said. Misaki sighed and decided that would do for now. "Your mother would like to have a word with you." she said. Misaki let out a yawn before nodding.

"Of course. I'll get dressed immediately and see her as soon as possible."

That's the prologue, I purposely made it really short as to not give the entire story away. This story probably won't exceed ten chapters at the most.

If anyone's wondering, this story is based off the song Mistletoe ~ Tree of Reincarnation by Rin and Len. I was planning on making this a RinXLen fic at first but I decided it would be more fun to do TakuMisa! If you listen to the song that might spoil some of the plot fyi XD

I'm still deciding whether I want to make this a tragedy or not~ maybe I should make two endings? A sad ending then an alternative happy ending? Tell me your opinions please!
