A/N: OMG. Three reviews. I know it doesn't seem like a lot, but to me it's like a million bucks! I can't believe it!

Oh, and I lied. No Thresh. Maybe someone like him (Big and buff) but no Thresh. Sorry, but if I'm going to have Rue, and it's only going to be one tribute per District plus the Warriors and their partner, then Thresh has got to go. Sorry.

And I should have warned you that there may be spoilers. It's a little late.

It might be gruesome in later chapters, and you'll see what I mean. And Sasuke most likely won't exactly... love Sakura right away... it'll take a while... he's a hard nut to crack :)

And also, I CANNOT believe how many mistakes I made the first two chapters. I guess I was rushing (I have limited time) I'm so sorry.

Also, I'm sorry to inform you, I don't own Naruto or the Hunger Games. I apologize, but it's true.

Sasuke's POV

Karin ended up sleeping on the floor the night before. Suigetsu slept at the bottom of Juugo's bed, and I, being the leader, got a bed all to myself. That Saint guy was coming tomorrow, so we had time to kill.

I did NOT want to explore the city; too many strange people, But Karin and Suigetsu just had to. Juugo, again, didn't say much.

So that's why we wandered out of the expensive hotel, and into the marvelous streets of the strange village. Actually, the more I thought about it, it looked more like a city.

Karin gawked at everything she could, whether it was something on sale in the stainless windows, or something that had already been purchased and was in use by other people. So weird.

The further we walked through the city, the more I notice how it changed. Instead of granite, the roads eventually turned into just some plain old stone, and instead of extravagant clothes and accessories, the stores, which were now just stands or tables, had fish neatly set in perfect rows. The people, who were once ridiculously dressed were now wearing more... suitable clothes. The further in, the more normal the villagers got. Most were now wearing drabs and robes, like the people in Konoha would, only less individual. Karin was less interested in the fish then the clothes, but Suigetsu's mouth watered ever time we passed a fish. All of the seafood looked amazing. From giant oysters to giant fish to giant crabs to giant lobsters. These people must live to fish. I looked to the far right, sure enough; there was a bay full of boats with nets and docks. To my far left, pass the fish stands, (Market would be more appropriate) there were more buildings, only these ones weren't nearly as nice. The large windows, which took up nearly the whole walls, were filled with different tridents. Big ones, small ones, you name it, they were in there. So these people must have been fishermen, which made sense, living so close to a sea like this.

I looked around more. This place was strange. First it seemed like it could be fit for a king, and now, an ordinary commoner. I wondered if I could learn some skills for when I was in the competition. I wasn't too worried. I could hunt a little if I absolutely needed to. Besides, when would I actually use a skill like fishing in a fight to the death?

We walked further. That's when things really got weird. Suddenly, the road was no longer stone, and, unlike when it first changed from granite to gray stone, which switched gradually, the road abruptly changed into dirt. The surrounding buildings were nothing compared to the ones by the hotel. They could barely be called buildings. I realized that they were homes, not stores or markets like what we passed on our way here.

"Sasuke, lets head back." Karin whined. "I'm starting to get freaked out." A filthy little girl came up behind her and tugged on her shorts, most likely begging for money or food. Karin didn't like it very much, and shoved the girls hand off. Tears started to swell in her innocent eyes, and she brought her hands to her eyes as she started to wail.

"Way to go, Karin. You made her cry." Suigetsu scoffed. He tried to comfort the girl, only he didn't succeed.

"It's okay, little girl. She's not that scary." The girl stopped crying as soon as he opened his mouth, fascinated with his shark like teeth.

"Fishy." She spoke, poking his jaw. Suigetsu, who had become irritated with the child, pulled away. Karin chuckled evilly. The girl skipped away, happily humming a tune. Her dirty, tangled hair waved in the wind. Why did everything smell like salt here? Oh yeah. The water.

The population was much higher in the more poor section, and it seemed to be the biggest section of the three. There were no more magnificent buildings or flashy fishing gear. There were children running around, barely wearing anything. Half of them were filthy, and the other half were sopping wet. Almost everyone had bronze skin; my guess was from being on the water so much.

Since I was so focused on the details, I barely noticed the strange looks I was getting from people. But I said barely, so I did notice. Everyone we walked by gave us dirty looks and mumbled to each other. We were out of place, us being not dirty or tan, and our clothes actually looked like clothes, not rags.

We had been walking in the poor section for almost half an hour, that means half an hour of listening to Karin whining, when a man finally said something.

"You've got a lotta nerve." He announced. He was missing several teeth and his hair was a mess. "You mockin' us poor folk? Heh? Are ya?" Was he drunk? Did he even go to school as a child? My guess was no. "Yous," He pointed a dirty finger at me. I raised an eyebrow. "Yous sick. Coming here. Whatcha doin'? Picking us out? tryin' to be intimerdatin'? Well let me tell yer, you ain't intimerdatin' my son, no siree." He seemed rather proud for a moment. What and idiot. What was he even talking about?

"What are you saying, sir?" Suigetsu asked, a gleam in his eye. He wanted a good fight, I could tell.

"You're here for the games, right?" A more sophisticated woman spoke up. She looked defensive, and I noticed a small child she was trying to hide behind her back.

"Umm... I think so." Karin said. "Sasuke here is going to win the whole thing." She bragged. Everyone gasped.

"Karin, I don't think you should talk like that. Something's up." Juugo warned behind her. He was probably right. A crowd had formed when that man made his announcement. Everyone dropped what they were doing to listen in on the conversation and watch. All eyes were on us.

"Hn. Shut up, Karin." I hissed. "What is it to you?" I demanded.

"Don't yer know?" The man asked again. He paused. It looked like he could barely stand. It was just bad posture though.

"Know what?" I pushed on. Why won't they just tell me? The women spoke next.

"You're supposed to go to the arena and kill one of our children. A child from four."
