Chapter 9: The prince and his new guard.

Aomine and the others were royal. They lived in a society where everyone had powers except the norms. Norms were people who had no power. They guarded the norm people and ruled over them. The Generation of Miracles where the princes born to keep the land safe and prosperous. They had guards. Kasamatsu was Kise's, Takao was Midorima's, Kuroko was Akashi's, Himuro was Murasakibara's and Aomine rejected all guards calling them too weak. Momoi lived in the castle with them a princess she had many guards from her childhood friends being protective especially Aomine. But really her guard was Riko. All the guards were meant to marry the prince's one day and Riko would marry Momoi.

"My princes. King Makoto said, Prince Aomine can have this as a guard. He's bored of this slave," a guard said hauling in a shackled beaten dirty man. "Apparently he causes trouble," he said standing with him close to them.

"I don't need a guard," he said rolling his eyes about to bite into his apple. His brow twitched at the eyes focused on it looking wild and dangerous. "Hhhnnn," he asked narrowing his eyes and held it out curiously at the man shackled with a wild aura.

"I can eat it," he asked darkly.

"Have at it," he said wondering what the man would do.

He opened his mouth wide and bit into it wildly not even taking it from his hand but he couldn't really. He chewed then bit again eating it quickly eyes wide and innocent suddenly with a shiny aura around him. He moved fast breaking the chains making guards move to lunge. His face was in Aomine's straddling him sitting in his lap.

"Can I have more," he asked excitedly grinning cutely. Aomine lifting a hand making the guards stop and he sat eyeing the redhead.

"I'm keeping him you may go," he said bluntly waving them off pulling a pear from the tray near him and holding it out.

The red head was cute and he kept eating from his hand making guards roar in protest. Imayoshi went to smack Aomine's head.

"You're a prince act like it don't feed someone below you," he scolded and his wrist was caught before he could strike him.

"You wanna die," the man asked looking mean as shit his red eyes narrowed on him as his large hand was crushing his wrist.

"What," he asked shocked at the slave's strength because he was a slave that was clearly never taken care of and starved.

"Don't touch him," he said darkly squeezing harder making his wrist crackle.

"Let him go," Aomine said bopping his head with his fist sighing. The man blinked then whined holding his head rubbing his face back and forth into his chest complaining wildly he was just making the weird glasses guy not be mean. "Yes yes ok but you still don't need to break bones you crazy nut job," he sighed petting him. "Anyways eat," he said giving him a banana. He ate it quickly. Aomine picked up some cherries. and was about to feed them to him next.

"Bleh," he said in distaste pushing his hand away.

"That was cute," Kise cackled.

"Hhhnnnn," Aomine said wickedly grinning and everyone laughed at the loud whining he got from the man on his back on the floor Aomine hovering over him trying to force cherries into his mouth grinning wildly the man holding his wrists back glaring meanly.

"Stop harassing him Daiki. You go take a bath you're filthy," Akashi dismissed amused. "Go find him some clothes," he told a servant. "You show him where the bath is," he told another. "You tell us your name," he told him sternly.

"Kagami Taiga," he said looking at him.

"Kagami Taiga since you are technically a slave you do realize your position correct? You have to stay here now. More importantly you're prince Aomine Daiki's now. You will serve him always."

"Aw that's too bad," he said as they got up. "That food gave me energy. And I'm not really feeling like being a slave to anyone not even a prince," he said body sending out a white light blinding them.

It went back to normal and he stood with a part shawl part white scarf on his neck red pin in the middle of it, white low riding baggy pants, red and black shoes, metal bands around his biceps, wrists in white wrap, and finally wings on his back.

"A guardian power holder," Kuroko said simply eyeing the wings that looked like angel wings. "This might be troublesome," he hummed as Kagami's hand glowed and a sword formed in it.

"Thanks for the food. I'll take my leave," he said sternly leaving no room for argument.

"Now now my angel don't be such a brat," a voice said calmly. Alex a recent slave sent to them walked in. But they gave her freedom and she trained troops. She was a guardian too but had fairy wings when she used her power. "Disrespecting the prince of all things I raised you better than that," she scolded flying suddenly and kicking him into a wall. "APOLOGIZE," she roared.

"I'M NO ONE'S SLAVE," he roared back but gave her a kicked puppy look.

"You're right you're a guardian therefore a guard to prince Aomine. He fed you and said he'd keep you at the castle. By all standards you are bound to him by duty that's how it works with our kind," she said and on cue a clink sounded and a faint navy light that looked like a chain and shackle glowed between Aomine and Kagami. "You are his guardian now. So, you better protect him well," she said simply as it faded leaving Kagami scowling. Then huffed and light flashing briefly.

"Fine," he sighed annoyed.

"Wha," Riko said confused by it all.

"It is as she says. He treated me kindly when I was in need and by our kinds rule I have to be his guardian now. I'm bonded to him though unwillingly that's just how things are."

"Unwillingly. So, you resent it and won't be of use," Aomine said coldly.

"Unwillingly doesn't mean you're going to be left unprotected my prince," he said simply crossing his arms. "I will protect you and that is that. Simply said. I'll protect you with my life until the bitter end my prince. That it how it goes and I will not go back on my people's words and tradition," he said gazing locking with his. "But if you piss me off I'll kill you myself," he said wickedly.

"YOU DARE THREATEN THE PRINCE?!"

"Do something about it," he said darkly to the guards making them cower.

"Whatever as I have said go bathe," Akashi sighed at the commotion. "Defy me again Kagami Taiga and you won't like the consequences," he said simply as Alex guided him along.

"You have no power over me prince," he said simply as he exited.

"WWwwwwwhhhoooooaaaaaa your angel is a badass he isn't scared of Akashi," Takao cackled.

"Or just stupid," Midorima mumbled.

"How interesting," Aomine smirked wildly eyeing the door he left out of. "So very interesting," he chuckled.

Kagami walked to dinner later all clean, frowning at the baggy clothes on him tugging at the shirt. They had to barrow Aomine's because he was his closest size. Kagami was six three and Aomine was seven foot and bulkier by a little. His clothes ate him up cutely. His armpit length various red hair was tied up in a high ponytail, the hair down to his collarbones in front of his ears hanging loosely cupping his fac, and shaggy bangs that went to his eyelids laying neatly on his forehead.

"Hey cutie where'd that beast go? Who are you," Takao teased.

"I'll kill you," he smiled making him cower.

"My bad," he smiled weakly.

"Stop scaring the idiot and come eat," Akashi said simply.

"Whatever," he scowled going to his seat by Aomine.

'I have a feeling from now on things are going to be very different,' Akashi thought eyeing the defiant redhead.
