running. the detective, shikanoin heizou was in a middle of a chase. it was currently 5 am in the morning when kaedehara decided to steal some goods. and of course the great shikanoin saw him.
"try to catch me if you can darling~!" the outlaw, kaedehara kazuha said as he swiftly jumped on trees from branch to branch.
"oh i will this time kaedehara!" shikanoin yelled as he followed from underneath. kazuha let out a chuckle, "that's what you said last time detective."
..
they both ran for hours and both were starting to get exhausted. finally kaedahara stopped.
there was a cliff and kazuha had nowhere else to go. "looks like you have nowhere to run now kaedahara." the detective smirked walking near kazuha.
"oh shikanoin, i'm your favorite criminal for a reason~" kazuha laughed out getting heizou confused.
"you can't catch me detective.." kazuha said jumping off the cliff. heizou's eyes widened and rushed towards the edge.
"kaedehara what the fuck! come back here i still have to arrest you!" heizou yelled down the cliff.
"ugh! stupid criminal!" heizou yelled walking back into the woods. 'wait a minute.. which is the way back-?'
..
"raiden shogun please show me the way back homeee!" heizou yelled as he was walking for hours already.
"archons can this get even worst.." he sighed. unlucky him it really got worst. a group of treasure hoarders found him.
"for fucks sake!" heizou stressfully yelled.
a treasure hoarder charged at him and heizou barely dodged the attack. "i expected more from you detective. you barely even dodged my blade" the hoarder said.
heizou couldn't fight. he was exhausted. he had been running for hours without any water to drink.
'i can't believe i just realized i'm tired.. i'm dead.' heizou thought feeling himself getting dizzy.
the treasure hoarder charged at him again. that's what he last saw before everything went black.

"wahhhh!" heizou shot up as he felt a tongue on his nose. turns out a frog was on him and was trying to feed on a fly.
"am i dead?" heizou asked himself. he slapped himself to see if he was, "ow!" nevermind he wasn't dead.
"oh so the treasure hoarder didn't kill me.. why-" heizou said out loud. "it's either they were so kind and decided to not kill me today. or someone saved me.."
"there's no reason for them to kill me after all.. but also no reason to not kill me! ugh this is annoying." heizou said his thoughts out loud.
"but if someone were to save me who would it be.." heizou wondered until he had an idea.
"could it be.. no! why would he save me! but.. if someone else saved me they could've called someone to bring me back."
"and plus only me and him went through the woods.. unless a kind fatui soldier saved me or something."
"so.. it's kaedehara..? no! i refuse to believe!" heizou yelled in denial.
'why would an outlaw save a detective anyway? they're supposed to be happy if they die. but.. kaedehara seems to have interest in me.' heizou thought.
