Thank you to all of the reviews!
The two tributes sat inside a car with their district escort, Effie Trinket. She was the woman that stood with them at the stage earlier in the afternoon. She loved wearing many different colored wigs, which was again what made her eccentric. Sakura looked out the window, watching the poverty that District 12 had. People were skinny to the bones. They were dirty but probably it was because of the coal that they had to mine to appease the Capitol. Her emerald eyes travelled at the blond haired boy next to Effie, he seemed nervous. Feeling someone looking at him, Peeta looked to the side and found the pink haired girl looking at him with an expression he couldn't read. She gave him a small smile then turned away again. He felt a small twinge in the pit of his stomach.
"What is this feeling?" he thought to himself, shifting a little. Then he shook his head trying to forget.
Soon their car ride was over and all three bordered a silver metallic train. Sakura gasped at the luxurious food and interior. Making Peeta run into her, which made her stumble in her steps only to be steadied by the same blond that made her move.
"Sorry," Peeta whispered softly letting go of her. Sakura blushed but hid it using her bangs.
"Alright, it takes about two days to get to the Capitol. Enjoy the ride and I'll find Haymitch, who is going to be your mentor for the games," Effie explained as the two sat down on the soft leather couches.
"So I've never seen you before. Who are you?" Peeta asked trying to make some conversation.
"My name is Sakura Haruno. I don't remember how I got into your district. Katniss and Prim found me and they took care of me for three days when I was out. Actually the day of the reaping, if that's what you guys call it, was the same day I woke up," Sakura explained playing with her medic apron.
"Wow then why did you volunteer as tribute? You barely knew them," He asked quietly looking at his hands.
"I didn't know them for that long but I knew they had a strong sibling relationship. Volunteering as tribute was the only way to keep them together. See from where I come from. I don't have a family they died in a war or frie-nds," She replied stuttering over the word friends. She knew that no one in the village aside from Tsunade, Shizune and Kakashi knew how much she worked over the years. They didn't believe in her, so to Sakura they are no one.
"I'm sorry, I never should have asked," he muttered softly.
"No, it's okay. How about you any family or friends or lovers?"
"My family owns a bakery shop. Some friends and a girl, but she doesn't know I exist until the reaping of course," He confessed thinking of the brunette who was supposed to take Prim's place instead of the pink haired girl next to him.
"Katniss," Sakura whispered silently.
"How did you know?"
"The time when you went up that stage. You looked at her first although she wasn't looking at you," Sakura pointed out like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Peeta blushed, "Was I that obvious?"
Sakura chuckled, nodding, which made the boy blush a deeper shade of red. Then Peeta's expression turned serious again.
"You do know that we might have to kill each other right? Only one person will live," He said sadly looking at the train's ceiling.
"I know I saw the video, but I intend to keep us both alive," Sakura said slightly doubting herself in her head. Peeta's jaw dropped at her comment.
"Ho-w are you intend on doing that?" He stammered over his words. Sakura gave him a wink, "That's for me to know and for you to find out."
Her wink sent another twinge in Peeta's stomach making him nervous. Finally the train door opened and Effie and a blond, drunk guy came into the room.
"This is Haymitch, your mentor," Effie introduced. Sakura's eyes narrowed and looked the man in disgust, but she knew how to handle drunken mentors. She spent a long time with one after all.
"So any advice?" Peeta started. Haymitch puts down his bottle and said, "Stay alive." Sakura rolled her eyes. Peeta fumed with anger at the non-caring "mentor." He gets up prepares to punch the blond man. Sakura saw the slight preparation of Haymitch as he waited to retaliate before he could receive the blow. The pink haired girl grabbed Haymitch's fist and twisted him around and slammed his body on the table.
"Wow, so I've got a couple of fighters this year," he commented chuckling to himself. Peeta lohoked shocked watching the pink haired girl's cold expression. Sakura chuckled at the comment and said, "You know you better start telling us how to survive or I will personally slit your damn throat right here and right now."
Haymitch laughed louder, "You don't even have a knife on you. How could you possibly slit my throat?"
Sakura focused just enough chakra on her free hand and swiped her hand across the air just right in front of the whiskey bottle. Haymitch and Peeta stared at her as if she was insane, but when the bottle was perfectly cut in half, they gaped.
"See, I don't need a damn knife to kill you. Now are you going to help us survive this game or do I just kill you and then figure it out all myself," Sakura hissed dangerously.
"Alright! You need sponsors. If you want to survive you need to have a lot of good sponsors. They will willingly buy you things that could aid you to survive. Now would you please let go off me?" Haymitch explained struggling under the petite girl.
"Damn you have a tight grip," the drunken man said massaging his wrists. Peeta gave her a paled look, which made her laugh, "Sorry. I get a bit ahead of myself sometimes."
Haymitch and Peeta sweatdropped at her mood swings.
Finally the train arrived at the station. They were greeted by many oddly looking people, ranging from weird hairstyles and weird wardrobes. Suddenly, Sakura didn't feel much of an outsider.
