The "kidnapping" Scheme

* Your P.O.V. *

A few weeks have passed since Shin-chan, I mean, Midorima Shintaro-san became my bodyguard. Lately, I haven't been able to get out of the household, and each day passed with boredom, nothing exciting happens since it kept raining for a few days straight. But even when it turns sunny, my overprotective bodyguard didn't even allow me to take one step out of the mansion. And today is one of those days.
" Hey, Shin-chan~ Do me a favor and let me go to the city, alright? " I pleaded.
" No, (f/n)-dono, as your bodyguard, I can't let you wander around as you please, nanodayo. " He pushed his glasses up.
" Just let.me.go. " I gritted my teeth and started running in my disguise.
" Hmph. Don't think you can outrun me, nanodayo. " He quickly catched up to me in no time, and picked me up by the collar of my kimono.
" Noo!!! LET ME GO!!! I want to go to the city! It's been quite some time since I last had visited my friends! " I pouted.
" No way, nanodayo. I'll get in trouble if your father finds out that you left the mansion, AGAIN, nanodayo. " He glared at me, trying to intimidate me.

Yes, two weeks ago, I snuck out to the city, and visited the Seirin Clan as I encountered the main generals and Riko-san at the capital city Heian-kyo. I was also introduced to the rest missing members that I didn't see last time. They were Tsuchida-san, Kawahara-san, Furihata-san, and Fukuda-san. Whwn they were walking out in the city, I noticed that they look like normal humans, but no one noticed them. Probably Kuroko-san's ability is making them invisible.
After meeting them at the capital, I was invited to go to their clan territory(to which I accepted their invitation), and returned past curfew. This time, not only did I receive Father's long lecture session, it got doubled with Shin-chan's scolding, and went for a few hours.

But now, I just felt like going to the capital, despite all of the things Shin-chan does to prevent me to. Today, he even put a powerful barrier around my room, just to prevent me from going out. Though, he did hand me a special blade, made by the latter himself. He said that it was a powerful blade, a strong enough to cut a yokai, and even injure them. He gave it to me since he heard that more and more yokai are appearing in Heian-kyo, and this blade is meant for my self-protection.

Before I knew it, night time came, and I was standing in front of my room, gazing at the moon.
' Haa.. It's so boring here... I wish I could just go out and do something ' I sighed.
" I wish I wasn't born as a princess of a noble family... I just want freedom... But at this rate.. I'm just going to end up as a prisoner in a cage for life.. " I unconciously mumbled.
" Then, why don't you try and go outside? " A deep, but lazy voice echoed.
Then I looked down to see a man, no, a yokai, carefreely sitting on my room's tatami floor. His eyes looked serious, but his looks betrayed his eyes. He was smirking as he looked at me.
" How did you even get in here? This place was supposed to be protected by a barrier... " I stared at him in disbelief.
" What a nice body you have there.. I guarantee that men swoon all over you, huh? " His smirk grew wider.
" Pervert. " I muttered in disgust.
" By the way, let's get to the main point. You wanted to go out of this stuffy place, right? " The stranger yokai asked me.
" Yes, I want you to help me plan a scheme to help me get out of this mansion. " I furiously nodded.
" Then, how about I pretend to kidnap you? " He lazily offered.
" Nice idea. But before that, may I ask of your name? " I politely incured.
" Aomine Daiki. What's yours, princess? " He yawned.
" Ichijo (f/n). So, let's get the plan started, shall we? " A smirk was plastered on my face.

A few minutes later.
" No!! Somebody!! Please help me! " I shouted with desperation in my voice, trying to contain my excitement and laughter.
Aomine-san was just right beside me, lazily yawning.

* Midorima P.O.V. *
I heard (f/n)'s scream across the hallway. It came from her room. Having feel a bad premonition, I dropped my lucky item and headed towards her room. I slammed the door open, to reveal the girl herself in the arms of a familiar blue-haired Okami[1].
" Oh, so it's you, Midorima, long time no see... " The Okami carried the princess on his shoulder.
" Aomine Daiki... return the princess immediately! Nanodayo! " I growled in a low tone.
" It wasn't me who want to do this, I just happened to pass by and saw a beautiful girl staring at the moon. Actually, it was all her plan. " He pointed towards her.
" Aomine-san! You promised me that you wouldn't tell! Spoilsport.. " She cursed under her breath.
" At any rate, I'll return her in the morning, so, until then, " He waved a hand at me and quickly disappeared from my sight.
" A... AOMINE!!!!! " I shouted on top of my lungs.
