Haikyuu Prince!Hinata Guard!Kageyama AU

Part One

Hinata laughs, bounding down the steps and out the door. "Catch me if you can!" He yells, turning his head to face the angry guards running after him. He darts into the forest and hides behind a tree. The guards run past him, getting lost deep inside the forest. Panting, Hinata starts walking towards a small pond not too far away. Only he knew about, and it was the only way he got to be alone.

"Ha..I lost them. Why can't they all just realize I'm not ready to start training?" He sighs, picking petals off a flower and throwing them into the pond, watching them drift away. He throws the stem and lays down, closing his eyes. His father was the king, and his mother the queen, of the kingdom of Karasuno, a smaller kingdom neighboring many others. He had friends, but they were either guards or princes from the other kingdoms. "Maybe I could call up Kenma...but then I'd have to get through Guard Kuroo, and he'd just send me right back here." Kenma was the prince of Nekoma, and Kuroo was his personal guard.

Once each Royal member begins training to take the place of their parents, they get a personal guard to take care of them, 24/7 almost. They have yet to find a guard that can put up with Hinata's constant energy and shenanigans. Hinata stretches and stands up, walking back up the hill to the castle. He walks up the hill and spots his parents at the entrance. He's about to say something when he stops around the corner. He sees his parents, but there's someone else too. A tall, raven haired boy, around his age, bows in front of Hinata's parents, lips moving. Hinata squints, as if that will help him hear the inaudible conversation.

The boy looks his way, but Hinata's already sprinting back to his room.
