Another two days passed and Sakura had killed Glimmer and the girl from District 11 and she was now hunting for food, when Seneca's voice echoed throughout the arena, "There had been a small change of rules. Now both tributes from the same District may live. May the odds be at your favor." Sakura's eyes widened immediately thinking about Peeta.
"That's great news, but I don't think I'll survive that long," Peeta said holding onto Mashiro, who helped him move towards the river bed, as they heard the anouncement. Mashiro shook her head to tell him that she disagrees with him.
"Geeze you are like Sakura. Whenever I lost hope, she kept disagreeing with me. " Peeta laughed, wincing at little from every step that he took. Mashiro stopped for a moment and howled.
"What are you doing? They'll find us!" Peeta hissed trying to stop the animal. When she finally did, she turned to him with an amused look. The blond opened his mouth to yell at her but another voice interrupted him.
"Peeta!"
He turned and found Sakura running toward him with five other wolves behind her.
"Sakura?" he asked in disbelief. The pink haired medic tackled him into a hug, burying her face in his chest. Peeta stiffened at the sight of the wolves.
"Peeta it's okay. Meet my wolf pack," Sakura introduced.
"So this is him…Sasuke-sama will not be pleased," Taisei said as he walked around the boy, studying him.
"Oh hush! I think he's better than that bastard," Hakeua said, the small wolf, jumping on top of Taisei's head. Then a round of chatters between the members erupted.
"Will all of you be quiet? I like this boy. Sasuke is nothing compared to him." Mashiro said with authority in her voice. The other five members quickly quieted down as their leader stepped forward.
"They can talk!" Peeta exclaimed jumping back and accidentally landing on his injured foot. Sakura gasped at the reopened wound.
"What happened?" She asked turning to the leader of her wolf pack.
"He was attacked by Marvel, but the damage was already done when I got to him." Mashiro explained gravely.
"Alright Mashiro, thank you get some rest." She started then turned to the five and continued, "The rest of you, thank you but I do want at least one of you guys to stay behind." The five gave each other small looks, deciding who was going to stay. In the end, Taisei, the mahogany colored wolf stayed behind, while the others disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
"Now let's fix this," Sakura muttered to Peeta as she focused her chakra to her hands. It started to glow in a green color then she carefully puts it on his leg. Peeta watched in amazement as he saw his wound closing. When she was done, she gave him a small smile and helped him up.
"Sorry that's all I can do. You're going to be sore for at least another day. I don't have enough chakra to finish healing it," she whispered looking at his half healed leg. Peeta winced as he walked towards her. Sakura gave him a questioning look as he got closer. When he was close enough, he pulled her into a hug.
"It's okay. Haymitch will hopefully send some help," he said quietly trying to reassure the girl. Sakura nodded tiredly as she supported Peeta's weak side. Taisei looked at the two and thought to himself, "Mashiro is right, maybe this guy is better than Sasuke-sama. He hasn't treated her badly, abused her or even called her weak. This could have an interesting turn out."
"Taisei, could you check that cave to make sure there are any traps or mines. Please?" Sakura asked as she spotted the small cave. Taisei nodded jumping over the river and running inside. He found nothing that could pose as a threat to his weakened master and her friend. He walked out signaling the two that It was safe and helped them as the rain started pouring heavily, soaking both all three of them from head to toe.
"We need to strip down or else we'll get hyperthermia," Sakura stated as she started to take off her jacket.
"Wh-at are you insane?" Peeta stuttered. Sakura rolled her eyes and said, "I just explained to you my reason. Stop being a baby." Peeta stayed put ignoring her instructions. Sakura rolled her eyes again and created a small fire for them. Sakura stared into the fire thinking about her and Cato's encounter with each other a few days ago.
Flashback:
Sakura stumbled into the far east of the island, with no food or water. She had just separated with Peeta just two days ago and was still looking for food to eat and a source of water to drink, but the odds were working against her, since her luck as pretty much ran out. The hot weather was not helping either. She sat down by the tree, trying to ignore the hunger.
Grumble…Grumble…
Sakura frowned hearing her stomach growl.
"I'm so hungry," she whined to no one in particular. Moments later, a small apple landed on her temple. Groaning, she turned to look up and found the blond District 2 tribute looking down at her with a smirk plastered on her feet. She sprang up to her feet and glared at him.
"What do you want?" she growled lowly. Cato jumped down from the branch that he was in and leaned on the tree trunk.
"I just gave you food and you repay me by yelling at me?" Cato grumbled giving her a smirk.
"Well where's Clove? Don't you have to be with her?" Sakura sneered eating the apple. Cato gave her an amused look and then replied, "No I tried to get some peace and quiet."
Sakura nodded in understanding sitting on the tree trunk just next to Cato.
"Why are you saving me? When you could kill me?" Sakura asked suddenly. Cato got off the tree trunk and bent down to her eye level (A.N. he was on higher ground) he turned toward her and said softly, "Because…you're worth saving."
