Me: Yeah, Ken's story inspired me, plus a friend of mine loves The Hunger Games(Mari, that means you!), so I decided to write a fanfiction about it-including GX. Also, Code Geass will be in this story, but GX is mostly there.

Taryn: Enjoy. Julie doesn't own then Hunger Games, GX, or Code Geass. And any other animes mixed into this fic.

Chapter 1, Stage 1: Area 11 In North America, A New Hunger Game!

"Yumi! Get over here!," yelled Taryn Yuki, a 15-year-old who was nearing the end of her first year at Duel Academy.

"I'm coming. What is it?" Yumi Lamperouge, Taryn's cousin, asked.

"You know the Capitol? They held the Hunger Games this year, and District 12 won." Apparently, the Districts did not include California, Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, and three more states in the western area. California was called Area 11 by the Capitol, and Domino City was part of California. These states were independent from Panem. But now, the Capitol had decided to use Domino City as their new game zone for the Hunger Games. Just because they were independent did not mean that they couldn't be used as pawns in the Capitol's schemes. Lelouch, Yumi's brother had rebelled against the Capitol-secretly. Slowly, people were rebelling against the cruel treatment of the Capitol to Panem.

"Oh? And?"

"They're going to hold another Game-here."

"………"

"Ah! Yumi…?!" Yumi had frozen into place, shocked.

And that's how the whole mess got started.

"WHAT?!" Katniss Everdeen shouted, clearly angry at the fact she had to undergo torture-again. Peeta Mellark was angry as well. He had gotten pretty beaten up after the first game he participated in as a tribute. Haymitch, their "mentor", nodded.

"The Capitol requires you two to attend this. Around 20 or 30 tributes will be sent from each state." Katniss and Peeta's jaws dropped.

"THAT MANY?! BUT THAT'S JUST DUMB, DO YOU EVEN REALIZE HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL GET KILLED?!" Katniss screamed. Peeta reflected back to all the scenes of death he saw at the ending ceremony-all bloody and mind racking. Rue, the girl tribute from District 11, was killed by a boy tribute from District One. She was only twelve years old, and the boy had speared her. He was known as a "Career Tribute", which meant that they had been trained for this. Career Tributes were often the winners and wealthy, along with the fact that the Capitol favored them the most. Haymitch showed some pictures of possible tributes, most containing kids from a school called Duel Academy.

"A very possible tribute, Jaden Yuki, 15 years old, a very exceptional duelist, with the exception of his grades." Katniss sweatdropped. Peeta raised an eyebrow.

"Another possible tribute. Jesse Andersen, 15 years old, exceptional duelist, good grades, owner of the Crystal Beast deck." Katniss and Peeta's jaws dropped at that.

"A girl tribute, Laura Kaiba. Very rich, but fierce." Katniss was amazed. The girl was said to be a very good duelist, and little sister of Seto Kaiba, a rich company in Domino City.

"Another girl, Alexis Rhodes. An equal match to Taryn Yuki, a possible tribute." The two girls seemed to have the same grades. Taryn had an overloading dueling ability, which was pretty evident due to her special abilities, but she was modest. Alexis was very close to topping her, but not close enough. However, it was close enough that the girls were nearly equal. Peeta seemed to be interested in the two girls a lot, which Katniss had a weird feeling about. Around half of the students were from Duel Academy, 20% was made up of people relating to Jaden Yuki. Apparently, Jaden, Jesse, Laura, and Taryn could see duel spirits. Another girl, a relative of Jaden's, Aiko Kurosaki, had skills of Kenshin Himura, a famous sword-wielder in the Meiji era*. Her sister, Yuki, had computer hacking skills that were equal to Fujiwara Takagi's, a boy she was friends with and had been living with due to some complications from Third-I, the name of the government in the independent states. A voice called out gruffly.

"You do know that those kids ARE tributes, right?" Katniss turned around.

"Gale!"

"What?! A tribute?!" Alexis Rhodes asked Chancellor Sheppard.

"I'm sorry to say this, but yes, you will, along with Jaden and your friends." Chancellor Sheppard was reluctant to allow tributes from his school go and die, but the Capitol, being the sneaky pieces of crap that they were, used their pawn to convince him to do this.

And there was no other choice for this. He had to send them, and he was forced to watch his students die, one by one, until one would stand.

However, that wouldn't be easy, because of Katniss Everdeen. The girl had gotten an 11, a high score, and a rare one at that. However, the new tributes had around 12s or 11s as well. This was going to be an interesting game, Sheppard realized.

The reaping took place a month after the tributes from Area 11(California)were announced. Of course, Peeta and Katniss were chosen, but this Game had a twist.

There was going to be a third tribute, a boy.

And guess what?

District 12's third tribute was Gale.

Gale.

Out of all people, it just had to be Gale.

Which meant that Peeta and Gale would be at each other's necks in this.

And it could also guarantee a loss if they didn't focus.

Also, it would mean that the plan to overthrow the Capitol (A/N: Read the second book, Catching Fire, if you want to know.) would be put to waste.

And there was going to be more uprisings and rebellion.

"It's not going to be easy, but we're forced to do it. Damn those Capitol people." Chazz grunted, clearly unpleased at the fact that he, The Chazz, had to fight until his death.

"You should see their fashion. What outrageous and absurd getups! They look like aliens." Atticus mimicked a fashion critic. Everyone sweatdropped.

"You're acting gay," Zane muttered. How he put up with this guy, he had no idea.

"Yoh!" Takeshi Momoshiro greeted, having come from the tennis courts with the Seigaku regular tennis guys. Ryoma Echizen was indifferent as always, with Sakuno Ryuzaki trailing behind him. Atticus was making some 'Tsk' sounds, shaking his head disapprovingly at how Ryoma seemed to not see Sakuno's prescence. A few seconds later, Atticus hit Ryoma on the head when Ryoma passed him by. Ryoma stopped and rubbed his head.

"Why'd you do that?" he asked in a bored tone.

"IDIOT! CAN'T YOU EVEN SEE THAT SAKUNO'S BEHIND YOU?! OR THE FACT THAT SHE BLUSHES AROUND YOU, STUTTERS AROUND YOU, ACTS LIKE A MORON AROUND YOU, AND THEN YOU SEEM TO MAKE HER EFFORTS FRUITLESS BY SAYING SOMETHING STUPID!!!!" Everyone stared at Atticus, shocked. Boy, did he take love seriously. Ryoma looked shocked, half out of surprise from the outburst, and half shocked as the truth whacked him in the face like a tennis ball slamming into his face, or maybe, a racket. Taryn sighed. Ryoma's thing only consisted of tennis, which Harrington Rosewood, the tennis captain of Duel Academy, was so happy. Taryn and Jessi had to practically drag Harrington away from the transfers so they could practice in peace. The idiot wouldn't stop pestering them and giving them advice they already knew. However, Ryoma was a dense guy when it came to love, exactly like the boys she had befriended here at Duel Academy. Chazz, Atticus, and Takeshi seemed to be the only ones who were always aware of love, and since Atticus had taken an initiative to berate Ryoma about his love life, Takeshi had also joined in. Chazz, however, wasn't like that when it came to love. He was obsessed about Alexis.

"He calls it love, but it's just a stupid obsession." Yumi had said that a few days ago.

"How about her rack? It's a rack fetish, along with moe!" Jessi had replied.

Currently, Sakuno had a red face and was frozen, her mouth hanging open. Lelouch cleared his throat. Everyone had forgotten he was sitting with Shirley, Suzaku and Yumi on a couch.

"Ryoma, Sakuno, talk about this privately. And everyone, that especially means Takeshi and Atticus, no going to listen to their conversation!" Lelouch barked.

"Like you're one to talk," Atticus muttered, "you didn't even confess to Shirley until we saved her from death and sent Rolo to hell 2 years ago!" Lelouch glared at him, and while they had a small glaring contest, Ryoma took a frozen Sakuno by the wrist and dragged her to Yumi's room and slammed the door shut.

This was going to be hard.

And they would die if they continued like this.

Damn those Capitol people.

Because of them, they were going to die.

Me: Yep, there you have it. The first chapter of A New Kind Of Game. Ryoma, Takeshi, and the Seigaku team are from Prince of Tennis. Don't own that anime either. Hope you guys liked it. ^-^

Taryn: Read and Review, please! Press the green review button, send a review, and if Julie gets around 3 or more reviews she'll update early! She might also get more motivation to update faster! So please review! Constrictive criticism is welcome, but Flames are not appreciated! Please don't send one! Arigatou!

*Rurouni Kenshin is set in the Meiji era in Japan. Kenshin is the Battosai, and the main character. It's a very good anime. Aiko also has slight skill resemblance to Ichigo Kurosaki in Bleach, a VERY popular anime.
