Chapter 7:

Kyo sat up in his bed and yawned lightly...Yet another day of training, how fun. It had been two days since he had been on the roof with Tohru...he began wondering if he said something wrong for they hadn't talked much since then...but both of them had training for the games which takes up most of the time they had together. Well, he was training in between glaring at Marlo and Darleen, the career tributes from District two. Others glared at him but he had yet to learn their names. He looked at the clock and decided to head down to breakfast before it got to late. He hurried and got dressed into his training uniform and exited his room.

Tohru walked out of her room almost the same instant. looking at him with a bright smile, she greeted him, "Goodmorning Kyo-kun!"

He just nodded, "Morning Tohru"

Effie walked up to them as she entered the hallway, "Come on you two, your mentors would like to have a word with you two before you go"

Kyo and Tohru just exchanged glances, but said nothing as the walked into th dinning area with Effie. Katniss, Peeta, and someone else was with them, other then Cinna, and he looked much older then the rest of them. well, excluding Effie...

"Have a seat you two" Effie told them as she took her seat.

Both sat in their seats silently.

Katniss sat forward in her seat just a bit, "Today is a very important day...the Gamemakers are going to rate you on your skills"

"This is very important and you must do well. Higher rating means more sponsors" Peeta continued.

Suddenly, the man they had never met sat forward and spoke, "I can mean the difference between life and death"

Kyo raised a brow, "And just who the hell are you?"

Katniss rolled her eyes, "Kyo, Tohru, This is Haymitch. He was our mentor while Peeta and I were in the games"

Tohru blinked, "You were... both in the games? A-a the same time?"

Peeta opened his mouth to answer but Katniss answered first, "No, We just had the same mentor"

Haymitch, Cinna, Effie, and Peeta all eyed her for a moment but said nothing.

Haymitch cleared his throat, "Mhm, well, as I was saying..." he looked at the two tributes. "What are your skills?"

Kyo answered, "I can climb and fight pretty well, I've been training since I was little"

Haymitch nodded, "Alright good..." He pulled out a flask and took a drink them looked at Tohru, "and you?"

Tohru looked down, "I don't have one..."

"Everyone has a talent Tohru..." Peeta told her. "Come one, there's gotta be something you're good at"

"Not with what they're looking for..."

Katniss spoke up, "You are swift on your feet, you know how to cook, and I'm pretty sure you can treat and wound cat boy here is gonna get"

Kyo glared at her.

"Just show your skills and you'll do fine" Katniss finished.

Tohru nodded, "Oh, uh, alright..."

"make sure they remember you" Haymitch said, getting up now finished with his food.

"Hurry up and eat you two! you have to get down there!" Effie began to rush them.

"What's your hurry? They go last anyway..." Haymitch commented as he left the room.

Peeta sighed, "Sorry you two, he's a little rude at times..."

Kyo was still glaring at Katniss, "He isn't the only one"

Katniss slammed her fork down as she finished, "Hurry up and finish you two so you can get down there"

The rest of breakfast stayed at an awkward silence.

Kyo sat quietly as he sat in the room. He was waiting for his turn to show his skills to the Gamemakers. His heart was pounding, it was such a stressful moment... mainly because he wasn't sure how to show his skills. He knew he had skills...but how could he show them? He shook his head and sighed, staring at the floor.

Tohru was inside at the moment, and Kyo couldn't help but worry about her...there wasn't to much she knew how to do...Of course she knew about survival skills, she did live in a tent before they met. But he was more worried about something else...what if...what if he didn't make it? what if he was killed before the end of the games?

The sound of his name being announced made him jump a bit as he was pulled out of his thoughts he kept telling himself to stay clam, that he would do fine. It didn't matter how many times he told himself either, he was still nervous. Standing up he walked to the door and into the room the Gamemakers were. He swallowed...he really wasn't sure if he could honestly do his best with these people watching him...

After announcing himself, he started showing his skills the best way he could. He climbed the net and jumped down, landing on his feet of course. He did his basic training thing and so on...but it didn't take him long to realize something...The Gamermakers weren't even paying attention to him! How the hell can they judge him if the weren't watching him? He really was pissed! surly.. there was something he could do.

He quickly glanced around and spotted the power box. A smirk formed on his face. 'I'll scare the shit outta those bastards.' He did something similar to Akito once...though it wouldn't be as dramatic as that. Sneaking over to the power box quickly and quietly, he opened it quickly and jacked it up so none of the lights were on what-so -ever.

The Gamemakers were in shock, calling out things like, "Who turned out the lights!" and "Someone flip the switch!" But not a one of them mentioned Kyo.

Being Kyo was the Neko, he could see in the dark easy. He ran over to the net and climbed up. He had to get to the Gamemakers room/ platform. Using the roof like Rue did, he crawled along until he was just above the room. 'Now I've got them!' He got ready to ponce when suddenly the lights came on.

The head Gamemaker looked out to the training area, "Where's Kyo?"

That was his cue. Jumping down right in front of him, he landed on his feet the crossed his arms. "Oh, so you guys did know I was here. Coulda fooled me!" With that he turned away and jumped back into the training area...leaving the Gamemakers with looks of Shock on their faces.

"OH MY GOD! ARE YOU CRAZY!" Effie started. "THAT'S WORSE THEN KATNISS! ARE YOU CRAZY!"

"Relax Effie...I'm sure he'll be fine..." Peeta sighed.

"FINE?! I THINK NOT"

"Shut up will ya? Damn, you're giving me a headache..." Kyo Sighed, sitting on the couch.

Effie shot him a glance but said nothing.

"I think he did great!" Hatmitch said.

"Surprising really. I didn't expect him to pull something similar to You Katniss" Cinna said, looking at his Mentor.

Katniss just sat there staring at the Neko of the zodiac, "Yea...VERY surprising..."

Kyo gave her a glare.

Tohru was sitting next to him quietly, feeling like she had no room to be in the conversation.

"Shh, look. Here are the results..." Peeta said as the TV flashed on.

"Told you you could to it!" Peeta smiled at her.

"Good job" Katniss also said.

Kyo just nodded to her with a light smile.
