Chapter Warning(s):
Author's Note:
KH*HS*KH*HS
He swore the little hellion was going to be the death of him one day.
One day very soon, he mentally corrected, scowling darkly. His sharp blue eyes scanned the castle's grounds, frantically seeking his target. There was no way she had left, not with all of the guards alerted and the gates carefully watched. He and his men were checking the usual hiding spots, but none had produced the raven haired princess Hak was in charge of guarding.
It wouldn't be the first time she had escaped his detection, to his undying humiliation, but that wouldn't stop him from giving her a severe tongue-lashing when he finally found her.
Did she not realize that, as a bodyguard, he actually needed a body to guard? Did she enjoy making his life so difficult?
Scratch that, he grumbled, I know she does. He swore if he prematurely grew grey hair because of her, he was going to put her over his knee and give her a spanking like the child she was being. He was too handsome to have grey hair at his age!
Hak's attention was caught when he noticed a small, cloaked figure sneakily making their way to the royal gardens. His proceeding smirk was just a hint too bloodthirsty to be comfortable.
"I got you now, you little troublemaker. You're not escaping me this time."
KH*HS*KH*HS
With an almost too giddy expression painted on his face, Hak hid amongst the tall grass and other vegetation as he silently stalked his prey. It wouldn't be worth it if he ended his hunt too soon. He wanted to savor his victory for as long as possible.
He observed as the cloaked figure looked left and right, checking their surroundings, before deeming it safe and relaxed. Pale, delicate hands started to undo the knot holding the cloak closed – and Hak knew it was the perfect moment to pounce.
"Gotcha," he exclaimed, confident of his win.
His hard, heavy body collided with the smaller figure, and they both went down with a 'thump.' There was a feminine sound of surprise, a gasp of distress of being caught. Hak was too cocky over capturing his target that he didn't think about their compromising position.
Instead, blue eyes clashed with a pair of widened amethyst orbs. He smirked.
"Thought you could get away from me, didn't you, Princess?"
His own personal little wild cat, Princess Kagome of the Kouka Empire, pouted. "I was just taking a stroll through the gardens…" she grumbled, cheeks puffing cutely like a squirrel.
Hak's expression clearly stated he didn't believe her.
"Okay. Fine," she caved, like he knew she would. "I was trying to leave the castle to visit the nearby village."
His brow rose. "If you wanted to do that, why didn't you just tell me?" He would have most likely opposed the idea, maybe persuaded her that it was a bad plan. He was confident he could protect her from any threat, but he was only one man.
But she also had to know that she was his one fatal weakness. One glance from her unique eyes and Hak was a goner for whatever scheme she concocted.
Kagome sighed. "I wanted to feel… normal."
Hak's expression softened. It wasn't the first time the raven haired beauty had confessed such feelings. Aside from being bodyguard-and-princess, they were also childhood friends. If she couldn't confide in anyone else, Hak always provided an ear to listen to her troubles and doubts.
"I understand," he gently replied. "But that doesn't mean you can keep hiding and running away from me." His sudden smile was lethal and sharp. Kagome squeaked at the look, knowing she was in big trouble. "I'm going to make you understand that, as your bodyguard, I actually need your body to guard."
She gulped, sweat beginning to bead on her forehead. Uh oh.
KH*HS*KH*HS
Kagome sulkily pouted as she gently massaged her abused bottom. Perhaps she deserved a proper scolding for always sneaking away from her bodyguard – but said bodyguard didn't have to actually punish her like a child. More than her butt throbbing, her pride had seriously taken a huge blow.
"I can't believe you spanked me – a princess," she mumbled. "You sure have a lot of guts."
Lounging nearby without a care, Hak lazily said, "I was doing it for your own good, and you know it." Satisfaction still warmed his chest. He may have taken some personal pleasure out of doling out his punishment, but was smart enough not to say it out loud. Mundok would literally kill him if word got back to the old man. Mundok treated Kagome – and her older twin, Yona – like his own daughter.
"My own good?" she repeated in disbelief.
"Yep," he responded like it should be obvious. "Who else is going to save you when you go looking for trouble?"
Kagome gasped in outrage. "I don't go looking for trouble."
"Face it, Princess. You're a magnet for trouble." Especially when males were involved. Hak couldn't count how many times he had to save the raven haired beauty from thugs who either wanted to sell, kidnap, or otherwise had nefarious intentions towards her. Just thinking about those instances had his blood boiling all over again. Like hell he would ever let those bastards touch his precious princess. "You're lucky I haven't died yet. I must be immortal. Actually, I can't afford to die." He sent a handsome smirk in Kagome's direction. "I've got a troublesome princess to look after."
Her cheeks heated with an adorable blush.
Hak's eyes softened. He moved until he crouched within her personal space. His smile was tender as he continued to gaze at her. "But you're my troublesome princess."
Kagome innocently blinked. "Even though you constantly yell that I'm going to give you premature grey hairs?"
He distinctly felt his eye twitch. "You want another spanking?" he threatened.
