CHAPTER 3:
Kyo and Tohru's lips broke apart...the moment had seemed to last a lifetime. Katniss and Peeta walk away from the door feeling depressed...They really did steal their names as the star crossed lovers...and the Capital won't EVER let two tribute's become victors at the same time ever again.
"Kyo...I uh...I have to tell you something..." Tohru said looking at the ground. "What is it?" He said tucking her hair behind her ear. "Uh...It's nothing...I'll tell you later..." she pushes his hand away. "I just need some rest..." Kyo nods, "Yea..." He leans over and kisses her on the cheek, careful not to get to close. Then he gets up, "I'll see you at breakfast, Kay?" Tohru nods, "Okay..."
Kyo walks down the trains hallway and walks into his room. He takes a quick shower...even if he didn't know what all the buttons were for...Then he gets dressed and ready for bed. As he lays down, he heard thunder...that put him to sleep even faster...
Kyo stood next to Tohru in the woods. The Hunger Games had just started and they were already being stalked. Tohru was shaking in her boots. "Dammit Tohru! Stop it...Your being to loud..." Kyo whispered to her. She was breathing heavily, "I c-can't!" She said quivering. Suddenly, voices sounded from behind them in the distance along with the sounds of them walking on twigs. Yuki's voice was among them. Kyo's eyes widen, "Lets move... They must of formed an alliance..." He started to head the opposite direction, but when Tohru tried to follow, she tripped over her own feet. "Ah! K-Kyo...I-I think I twisted my ankle..." Kyo turned and looked at her right before the group busted through the underbrush. "Get her boyfriend! Then will let him watch us kill her before we kill him..." The leader says smiling. Kyo started at him but the female of the group hugged him. He transformed with a cloud of orange smoke around him. Then the girl grabbed his cat self and pinned him to her chest so he didn't change back. Tohru was still laying on the ground. The leader bent down beside her and got to her face. She looked at him with fear in her eyes, "Pl-Please...don't kill me..." The leader chuckled before drawing out his dagger. "Man, your just to cute...maybe I should do more than just kill you..." Tohru stiffens as he brushes his fingers through her hair, "Yes a whole lot more..." Yuki starred at him with hatred. "Leave her alone!" Kyo yelled. The leader turns away from Tohru, who was now crying, and glared at him. "What are you gonna do about it? Cat boy?" Kyo looked away...what could he do? "Well, let me see if you can make me leave her alone." He got up and headed over to Tohru who's eyes were full of fear. Kyo struggled to free himself but failed... "I thought you wouldn't be some sorta hero...just another piece of prey scurrying around the hunting grounds!" he turns on Tohru and a shriek of terror filled the air. "Tohru No!" Kyo screamed as he witnessed Tohru be killed. "You sick monster!" He growled at the leader as he wiped the blade clean. "You say that like your not a monster yourself... Yuki! Finish it!" The leader walks away and Yuki lunges at Kyo. Everything went dark...
Kyo opened his eyes as a knocked sounded on the door. He sat up and yawned, " It's open..." The door came open, "Hey..." It was Katniss. Kyo eyes lost all sleepiness, "Katniss? Why are you here?" She sat on the bed next to him, "I need to discuss some issues with you..." Kyo nodded, "But before breakfast?" Katniss looked at the ground. "Tohru...she's the reason I'm here..." She looked back up at him. He was lost in total thought. "What about it?" He says while looking at the floor. "I saw you two kiss yesterday... I have to say," She smiles a weak smile, "What your planing to do is an act of true love..." She looks at the ground again. "I never thought I would be training someone not only to defend themselves...but to protect the one they love..." Kyo blushes, "How the Hell do you know about that!" Katniss turns to him and smiles, "I already talked to Tohru..."
Kyo gets out of the bed, "God Dammit! I'll be dead in 2 weeks and your already gossiping! Get out of here!" He stomped off the the restroom and got himself dressed in his normal cloths. When he entered his room again, Katniss was still sitting there. "What the hell? I thought I told you to get out!" His blood boiled. She turns to him, "Look, I don't need you to get snobby with me Kay? My job is to help you! If you want help during the games, you have to get sponsors. In order to get sponsors, you need to be friendly and have skills..." He glared at her, "Whats does that mean?"
She stayed silent for a moment before answering, "Your social skills suck..." Kyo didn't answer...he knew that much. "I don't know what fighting skills you have, but I hope their good! not only will you have no sponsors, but your girlfriend will die before you could throw a punch..." Kyo looks up at her, "Look, I could win these games with my hands tied behind my back...It's just I want more than anything to see Tohru be happy..." Katniss looks at him, "But will she truly be happy after your gone?"
A knock on the door interrupted them and Effie walked in. "Not meaning to intrude, but breakfast is served." She led the mentor and her tribute to the table. Tohru and Peeta were already eating eggs and sausage. "Yo Tohru..." Kyo greets his love. "Morning!" She smiles back. Peeta looks at the two of them, "Ah! Seeing you two are getting along!" Katniss glares at him, "I'm not a cat person..."
After breakfast, Kyo and Tohru looked out the window to see a sparkling city. "Oh! There's the Capital!" Effie says in an exciting tone. The train went dark as they pasted under the mountain and into the station. Tohru waved to all the people with her smile turned on. Kyo remained seated. "See? You lack social skills..." Katniss tells him, "When you get off the train, your gonna go meet Cinna..."
