CHAPTER 4:


Cinna was very excited to meet the two new Tributes of the 86th annual Hunger Games. He opened he door and walked into Tohru's room first. She sat up, her blue eye's beaming brightly. Cinna smiled at her, "So...your Tohru! Your boyfriend must really love you...it showed at the reaping..." Tohru blushed...she wasn't sure how to respond. He laughed, "Well, that aside, do you know why I'm here?" She blinked, "Um..To help us get sponsers?" He nodded his head, "To make an impression, To make sure your remembered, And yes get sponsers..."

She cocked her head over to the side. 'what is he thinking?' She didn't know what he was planning...but she hoped it was good. "What is your plan?" He smiled again, "For the chariot costume parade?" Tohru nodded. "I'm doing flames...but not just any flames! they sparkle!" He made spirt fingers and Tohru laughed. He grabbed her sholder, "But because of your wonderful eyes!..." He pulled something out of his pocket, "Your flame is going to be white!" He opened his hand showing a small white sparkleing flame that danced in his hand. She gasped at the sight of it. "It's so pretty!" Cinna smiled I though you would like it...your whole dress will be this color and look just like that!" She looked away from it and smiled at him, "Thank you so much..." Cinna smiled back, "It's no problem...your friend is going to have a red flame like that...His hair and eyes where screaming it out to me..." He patted her on the head, "Well...I gotta go finish you costumes...you better go and find your mentors..."

She nodded and he handed her the cloths. "Thank you..." She rushed out of the room. Cinna sat there for a second, 'She's such a sweet girl...' He laughed and got up. 'little do they know what I'm Planning...' Cinna walked out of the room. He had a plan...a big plan...but he need them to follow up on it...they just didn't know what it was...


Kyo stood there waiting for Tohru to finish getting into her costume. The parade was going to start as soon as everyone was ready. He was already in his costume. It was a tux...he refused to wear the tie...but it was flameing...red sparkleing flames danced all across it. Cinna had told them that it would leave a trail when they were moving. He really though this was a little silly...but he alread argured once...

He heard the doors open and turned to see Tohru...her outfit was flaming and sparkleing as well...but it was white! Her bright blue eyes popped out to him. She was so Beautiful...he wanted to go over and hug her! he walked over to her, "You look...wonderful..." he smiled at her. Then he realized she was spaced out. he tapped her on the back of the head. "Huh! What!" She said as she popped back into life. "What have i told you about that!"

"Okay! Everyone ready? get on the Chariot!" Cinna called. Kyo sighed and helped her onto the chariot. The horses were black but the chariot was white. 'odd...' Kyo didn't question it though. They could hear the people of the Capital start to cheer as the parade begain. Kyo still wanted to tell Tohru how pretty she looked. The Chariot bumped as the started to move. He stayed silent. Tohru took a deep breath and smiled. it only took a few moments to see the tributes in front of them. Yuki among them...Kyo's eyes narrowed. He listened as they announced Distict 11. Yuki was wearing a purple tux...it really brought out his eye color... the crowed cheered and cheered as he came out. 'everyone loves the rat...' the words echoed in his mind.

Then, they announced District 12...the crowed gasps...then...cheers louder than any of the rest! Kyo let out a creepy smile...he didn't do well in croweds. Tohru was waving and smiling. "And look at District 12! Cinna makes some of the best costumes i've ever seen! Makes everything perfect ever year!" They annouced. Kyo blushed a little and looked at Tohru. "You look beautiful tonight..." She looked at him, "I- I can't hear you!" he sighed...only one way to do it now... "Then i'll show you..."

He reached over and kissed her passionatly...careful not to close. The big screens watched them and everyone scream. It wasn't just because of the kiss...it was also the flames! They turned pink and stengthened up, leaving a beauiful trail about 20 feet behind them. They also went up into the air...like a fireworks display! "Wow! Thats so amazing!" The announcer called. The crowd was throwing roses, hats, and more to them. Cinna, watching from a distance, smiled. "I told them it would work..."

Kyo and Tohru broke apart as they reached the end of the parade. They were glad they did because when the stopped, they hit a bump and Tohru almost fell into him. They just laughed it off. The president did his announcement, and then everyone met up in a room. Kyo and Tohru found Effie, Katniss, Peeta, and Cinna there waiting for them. Cinna ran up and hugged them both. "You guys did wonderful!" Katniss patted Kyo on the shoulder, "Nice move cat..." Peeta walked up to Tohru, "I was like you once..." They started a conversation. Effie walked up to Kyo, "That was intresting...I've never seen anyone do something lke that without being told to do so..." Kyo was confused, "What?" Effie shook her head and smiled at him, "Nothing1 Just forget I said it!" She walked away.

Kyo's eyes followed her untill they saw Yuki...he was starring at them...but he quickly looked away. Kyo raised an eyebrow. He was acting strange. Kyo didn't blame him though...he was looking at the people he was gonna have to kill...or his future killer... Kyo suddenly began to feel eyes burn into him from behind. He turned around to see a tall muscular guy throwing him an 'im gonna kill you' look. He had black hair and green eyes. He was dressed like a warrior. Kyo eyed him before walking over to Katniss, "Who is that?" She looked over and saw his eyes. "We need to go..." Kyo nodded an followed her...so did everyone else. Kyo still wanted an answer, "Hello! Who the hell was that?" Katniss stopped and turned to him, "Look, You don't was to start a fight with me. I'm the one who gets you sponsers remember? You might not wanna get on my bad side..." he sighed, "can you at least tell me who that was?" She rolled her eyes, "His name's Marlo from District 2...that's all I know..."

Kyo just left it at that. He knew that this Marlo guy was going to be hard to beat...Katniss took them up to there rooms. "look get a good nights rest...training starts tomorrow..." They nodded and headed to there beadrooms. kyo didn't even bother changing into night cloths...he just flopped down on the bed and slept...the rain outside made that very easy...
