"And why should I trust you?"

"Because I'm predicting in the next minute or so, your brother will show up trying to find you, worried why you left so quick. You and I will run to my black SUV, where my driver will wait and he's going to pick us up."

"And why should I trust you-"

"CORRIN!" Xander yelled, running after his white-haired brother, and right away the two started running away, pushing past people, and down the street. Many people were astonished and started to take photos of Azura and Corrin. More people gasped even more when they saw Xander running down the concrete jungle and lights flashed even more in the nighttime.

Finally in the midst of traffic, a black SUV pulled up and swung the door open for Azura and Corrin as they jumped in. The producer slammed the door shut and the driver right away slammed on the brakes as they flew from the fans, the crowds, and mostly from Xander as he stopped at the end of the street, looking at us with furious eyes. He then pulled out his phone and muttered inaudible words before some fans choked him and then smiled at them, signing their autographs and taking photos with him.

"Hey Miss Azura next time let me know sooner when paparazzi coming 'round the block, I love the thrill of driving fast like I'm in a James Bond movie!"

"How about you shut up little brother, do you know when to shut your mouth? Maybe that's why you haven't gotten a decent position in the company." The voice was heard over the Bluetooth, and the driver laughed.

"Oh Saizo, you're funny! Don't say stuff like that, I got Azura here with her little Nohrian friend, uh" he paused, waiting for the producer to reply.

"Oh! Uh, Corrin!" Corrin called out.

"Yea Corrin!"

"What the hell are you doing-" Azura muttered under her breath.

"Oh no worries now bye yea see you later, don't stay sulky cause Kagero broke up with ya!"

The driver pressed a button and hung up his brother "Saizo" before the guy could express more of his annoyance.

"Alright Miss Azura, where do you want me to take you?"

"If you can Kaze, go into The Gardens please."

"The Gardens?" Corrin raised his voice. "You must be kidding that's where I live how did you know-"

"That's where most of the elites of Nohrian Call live, and my mother lived on the first street, second house on the right. I just assumed you probably lived there anyway."

"Wow... Well yea I do. But Azura-"

"Just call me Aqua, Azura's my stage name."

"Okay." Corrin smirked. "Well I'm called as Kamui, my middle name then."

The singer frowned. "Yea right."

"Okay you got me there. And Kaze I live on three Rose lane, or just look for the castle-looking house and a girl that looks like a real-life Pokemon that's watering plants at night."

"Why is she watering plants at nigh-"

"It's my gardener Lilith, and she's some Slovakian that I hired for a good price, and according to her, it's better to water my garden at night."

"That's odd." Kaze added.

"Well my garden always looks decent so it must work." The other male shrugged. "And why are we going to my house? Isn't that the most obvious place I'd be going?"

"It is, but I think we need to get some stuff before we continue running away. Kaze brought me my essentials, and you need yours. We have about 30 minutes before they arrive." Azura said as they pulled up to Corrin's place, which was a stone-gray brick mansion that towered. It had a gothic-style architecture, complete with a few stained glass windows that would have only been visible by the lights inside. The white-haired producer was right however: outside was a dark-blue haired with a water can, walking inside the house through a side-door.

"Wow... You're house, is, well. It's nice." Kaze awed. Aqua grabbed her Versace drawstring bag and ran out, Corrin pulling out his keys at the same time to unlock the house.

"W-Wait Lady Azura and what am I supposed to do?"

"Kaze. I want you to just drive out of here. Seriously. The Nohrians... They are out for Corrin now, and the Hoshidans are probably arriving soon so you shouldn't be around while the whole thing goes down." She said, then smiled gently. "Thanks for helping us Kaze."

Kaze nodded, then backed out of the driveway, leaving the two behind. Corrin opened the door and walked in, Azura following in. Lilith was in the kitchen, on her phone when Corrin stepped in the kitchen, walking past her with Azura by his side

"Lilith, leave. You're dismissed." He ordered, and the little gardener looked at him oddly before nodding and walking past them.

"Well... You could have been a little less obvious something's wrong." Azura muttered, following him to his bedroom.

"Your presence is already odd." He replied back bluntly.

"Touché."

"Well if you can, uh, wait outside my room, that'd be great." He motioned her away and she closed the door, waiting right outside. The white-haired producer took off his blue cashmere scarf and gray button-up shirt, throwing it on the bed. He instead opted for jeans and a t-shirt and saw his travel bag, knowing he needed to the essentials.

Azura was heard quietly speaking on the the other side of the wall, but that didn't pertain to Corrin and he continued to grab low-profile clothes, an extra phone, and unlocked his little safe to grab the essential money: $100,000

But he only grabbed $5,000 of it.

Azura then knocked on the door, and at first he didn't answer until she started pounding and shouting "We have to go!"

Finally listening, he threw he bag over his shoulder and started walking, the petite singer following behind.

"Follow me." He commanded, grabbing a set of keys and pressed a button, a couple of quick rings sounding and a door that opened to Corrin's private garage.

"The fastest way out of town probably is gonna be if we get in my Ferrari."

"You sure, it's pretty flashy..."

"Do you want to run away-Wait why are we even doing this?"

"Because I told you we need to. I'll explain the less we talk." A smile creased from her lips before disappearing inside the car. The Ferrari was a vintage 2005, but the bright red finish screamed of luxury, and the interior was a nice black leather finish with handmade stitches in gray threading.

Corrin sighed, joining her inside the car and turned the car on as the garage door opened. The door opened to see a vacant street, and illuminating lights down his driveway.

"You ready?" He muttered. "I drive pretty fast so-"

"Yea I'm ready lets go." She replied bluntly, and they started speeding out of the little quiet neighborhood of The Gardens onto a rural road that would lead them out of the city and probably a few towns on the outskirts. Corrin and Azura flew down the road in silence until the Nohrian broke the silence.

"So. Why am I trusting you again? Because I have a lot of reasons to not trust you to run away and find Valla Enterprises. What's so special about that company? It's been out of business for years."

"Well, I'll explain this once we get through our first task of getting freedom to track it down. For now, Hoshido and Nohrian are looking for us. They think we've gone insane, crazy, and I've worked with both CEOs in the past, and they are strong-willed and persuade or do anything to have us back. Or make us chose which company to work for, and question our loyalties. However you have to find us a way out of this mess. Valla Enterprises is more important-"

"What's up with you and this company? Are you dumb? The companies dead Azur-I mean Aqua!"

"It's not dead, my mom works for it. As in my mom, who is your mom's sister."

"Does that make us-"

"Cousins, yes. But not exactly. Anyways, I can't really explain, except the letter she gave me when I was little. She left me a note with lyrics to my now hit song, and also an address with a PO box and the name Valla Enterprises."

"... Okay. And this pertains to me because?"

"Because your real mom Mikoto died under weird circumstances two months ago. Police are saying someone from Nohrian Call did it, and furious, Ryoma was once again remembered he needed to do something to avenge his mothers death."

"Which was obtain custody of me." He gasped.

"Exactly."

"But I can't exactly 'choose' each of them. I've lived-and worked for Nohrian since I was little. Everyone in that building is practically family for me. I know of nobody in Hoshido until of today, and I trust that they're my real family, but they're strangers to me."

"So we need to avoid for them. Or take cover until we can settle this mess. Corrin pass me your phone, we can't let them track you."

"Wait my phone?" With one hand he grabbed his phone and stuck in the driver's cubby. Aqua right away lunged for it, her head in his lap and she desperately reach for that phone. Corrin tried to kick her off, almost veering off course into a tree when Azura's phone went off. She looked up and screamed, while Corrin braked so hard, a loud shrill came out of the Ferrari. The car was close to hitting the tree but the two just sat in the car, breathing heavily.

The phone still rang so Aqua slowly rose out of her awkward position with Corrin and into her passenger seat, answering the phone.

"Hello?"

Corrin was still breathing heavy, sweat pouring down his pale cheeks. Even in the night, he was as white as a little vampire almost.

"Kaze? Yea... Wait they have you surrounded? As a traitor? Ryoma is with you? And what about Nohrian? Here also? Pass me to them, and put them on speaker."

A pause.

"Ryoma, and Mr. Nohrian, whatever you do, don't hurt Kaze. He had nothing to do with this, I told him to take me to the outside of Camilla's penthouse. Please don't do this. Xander's your name?"

Corrin gasped and reached over to grab be phone but Aqua pushed his face away, pressing speaker phone. She put a finger to her mouth for Corrin to shush.

"Well Mr. Xander, if you shoot Kaze, you won't have any information about Corrin's whereabouts." She said in a firm voice. Corrin wanted to scream and say something, but in the bottom of his heart he knew that Aqua wanted him silent for a reason.

"Very well Aqua. I'll see if we can save your driver, but he's in a lot of misery for the car accident he got in, and if there's one thing Ryoma and I can agree on, is that we can wait for a couple more seconds til we meet up with you guys on the road."

"The road?" Azura questioned Corrin's boss. Corrin looked behind him and saw a black as night Aston-Martin racing down the road.

"Shit." Corrin muttered, getting out of the car. Azura threw the phone out in the middle of the road and also got out of the car, grabbing her bag. Corrin did suit and they made a run for woods. Corrin's clothes blended in with the night, but Azura's was white as snow, and visible even at night. The little singer then pulled something out of her bag, which was a gun.

"What the hell? You brought a gun! You're crazy!" He shouted at her. She rolled her yellow eyes then refilled the revolver that made a click when she was finished.

"Just shut up Corrin, can't you see they were following us?" She whispered-yelled, crouching in the woods as the cars started approaching The Producer's Ferrari, flashlights littering the night. They flashed everywhere and many people were talking, familiar voices and unfamilar. Their names were shouted constantly, and so Azura and Corrin took the time to run away without trying to make noise. It was hard to however, and the leaves kept making crinkling noises under their shoes.

"Wait everyone quiet please!" A voice, what sounded like Ryoma's roared and the whole search party went silent, a moment before Corrin realized that he stepped on a fallen tree branch and it made a loud snap.

"They're in the woods. Everyone searching for them!" Xander then shouted and the two forces started their search for them.

"Okay Azura let's run. Now!" He shouted, grabbing her hand and they snaked through the night. It was like hide and go seek except their lives and fate was now at stake. With every turn, the search party gains an extra foot close to catching us.

"I see a shack ahead." Azura whispered, her breathing become more and more loud no matter how much she tried to conceal it. They had been running for what felt like forever.

"No. Too obvious. We need to run to maybe some town."

"Then I suggest," she huffed out, "We stay in the shack for a moment. All we do is stay quiet and hope they past by us."

"Okay." He huffed out too, and they stood in the tiny little wooden shack, his body pressed against Azura. In the moonlight, she could tell that Corrin was uncomfortable about how he could feel Azura's warm body against his.

"Well-" he chuckled quietly. "Awkward situation much?"

"Yea." She smiled a little bit.

The door creaked a little bit and the two people's eyes widened.

There at first nothing.

But

Then there was something.

A figure in the shadows, with a good build creaked the door open.

"Never fear!" The figure boomed, turning on his flashlight, only to reveal that his other hand held a gun.

Corrin's voice hitched, closing his eyes. Oh this was gonna be the end of this crazy wild night right?

Wrong.

A shot was heard and he opened up eyes, looking up to see the same singer he was right next to now had an arm extended and at the end of it was a gun.

The man was now on the floor, blood oozing out of him.

The two then started running, but Corrin's mind still was running through thoughts. What just happened? Azura just shot that man. Azura was still reeling in what she did, but she knew it'd be the only way they could run away. This time they ran faster, as fast as they could until finally a series of lights was in sight, and a little sidewalk was stretched out across, it's concrete glowing a warm sand color.

The footsteps were still behind them but then the sound faded, replaced instead with someone's wailing was heard.

"A-Arthur's injured! Big sister, big brother he's hurt! Big brother Corrin shot him!"
