Author's Note: HELLO! Just wanted to quickly tell you, that Kaneki will not have the same prep team as Peeta, because I'm to lazy to include them soooooooo…..HERE WE GO! And I used the book for references in the first chapter, but didn't feel like it this time so don't judge if its not as good as the first one.

Chapter Two: The Prep Teams and Chariot Parade

The train from District 12 pulled into the Capitol train station, and an hour later, Kaneki and Katniss were in the hands of their prep team. Katniss's prep team was made out of people named Flavius, Octavia, Venia, and Cinna, her head designer. Flavius was in charge of her hair. He had dark brown hair, with orange tips. Octavia was in charge of her nails, and she had pale skin, with dark eyeliner. Venia was in charge of her eyebrows and waxing. She had blonde hair, and blue streaks. Her head designer, Cinna, was a dark-skinned man that looked fairly normal, except for the slight amount of gold eyeliner he had.

Kaneki, on the other hand, had six people tend to him, since he was such a monotone person. He three main people who worked on his skin, nails, and hair like Katniss. They're names were Ayato, Eto, and Banjo. The other three were his head designers, Touka, Tsukiyama, and Jason Yamori.

Ayato and Touka were basically on the same projects. They dealt with his hands and they looked the same. They had dark eyes, dark blue hair, and they were very angry. Tsukiyama was…different. He had bright purple hair, and a very…let's just say he was a very flamboyant character. Jason Yamori. One way to describe him is…he was a large man, with blonde hair, and a scowl. And Banjo was a nice, friendly man that Kaneki took a preference to.

Katniss was currently trying hard not to scream as they waxed her, and Kaneki was forced to bathe with an intense amount of soap to get years of dirt off his skin. He already was pale, and by the time they got all the dirt off, he looked like he was glowing. His hair was as clean, soft, and white as snow. By the end of Katniss's session, her skin was tinging and she sat in nothing but a thin, silk robe.

Cinna came into her room and asked her to take off her robe. She did and he studied her body for a while before he said she could put her robe back on. She did, and they had a long conversation about why he wanted District 12. Kaneki, however, had to explain something very large to his prep team about his body before he met with his head designers.

Afterwards, they were sent back to their rooms to enjoy themselves. The next morning, they spent the rest of the day with the prep team before heading to the chariots for the parade. Kaneki and Katniss went in entirely different ways. Katniss was in a dark body-suit, with a cape and crown. She awaited Cinna to set her on fire. Kaneki, was the like her, but very different.

He had on a black body-fitting suit on with a notch out at the bottom of his back. He had a pair of gray, baggy cargo pants to protect his more private parts from view, and while he looked intimidating and scary, he wore an even scarier piece of clothing.

On his face was a black leather mas with a large grotesque grin. He had his signature emblem of an eyepatch, but attached to his mask, and on his right eye instead of his left, revealing a perfectly fine eye. His fingernails were still his inky black color, and he still had his pale white skin. His one head designer, Touka, handed him a black trench coat, which completed his whole costume.

If anything, Katniss thought he actually looked like a Shinigami. They stood up on the chariot as the music started playing and the chariots started going out, and Cinna, along with Kaneki's head designers come over to give them directions for the parade. "Katniss," Cinna began. "When you head out, do anything you can to catch the crowds favor. Accept their flowers, catch their kisses. Do anything. Just…not anything insane."

Kaneki's designer Touka started the conversation off. "Kaneki, act like you're too good for everyone. Be you're usual-self." Tsukiyama took over for her. "Be cold, unforgiving, angry, and hateful." Jason Yamori took over and finished it off for them. "Use the eye. We switched the position of which eye the eyepatch should be on. Use it, it's your greatest weapon. Crawl and scare like you do. Kill. Crawl like a centipede!"

Before Katniss had any time to think about what his designers said, Cinna lit her on fire, and their chariot began to head out. As they headed out, she saw everyone was fawning over her, and screaming in horror, right when Kaneki looked up. She looked into a screen showing them, and she looked like a coal, a beautiful light of fire. She looked over at Kaneki, and she was shocked, but luckily, it didn't show on the camera.

His uncovered eye was now black with a red iris. He screamed fear, death, destruction, and pain. He truly looked like a monster with everything in effect. Holding back her surprise, she continued to reply to the crowd and catch their love. Kaneki, however, continued to keep looking straight ahead, angry, and horrifying. He raised his hand up to his head, until his fingers were eye-level with him. He placed his thumb over his index finger, and pushed down hard. In turn, it produced a crack so loud, it was heard throughout the crowd, though the blaring music. It chilled the crowd, along with Katniss, to their bones.

As their chariots pulled to an end, everyone's eyes were still on the tributes from District 12. President Snow came out, and gave, to what Kaneki thought, was a long, boring, and unnecessary speech that he didn't pay an ounce of attention to. Afterwards, they entered, what would become an area where they would stay for a week to train.

Katniss looked over at Kaneki, and saw that his eye, once again went to normal. He cracked his finger again, and Katniss flinched. Kaneki noticed that, and mumbled that he was sorry for scaring her. 'What's with him? He's insanely terrifying at one moment, nice and apologetic another. It's like he has multiple personalities.' Little did she know, he was a much larger case than just multiple personalities.
