Sakura looked out of the pent house window onto the celebrating city down below. She rubbed her eyes and sighed.

"You couldn't sleep either huh?" a voice behind her said. She turned his head and found Peeta in his sleeping attire. Sakura turned her attention back to the city, ignoring him. Peeta sighed and sat by the window next to her.

"It's now or never," he thought.

"Sakura, I'm sorry for assuming, for yelling and for getting mad. I have no right to do that when you were only trying to keep me alive," He muttered hoping to get some reaction from the girl. A few more moments passed with still no answer, Peeta was about ready to get up and give up, when Sakura spoke softly, "It's okay and thank you for apologizing. People these days just don't really apologize, if you know what I mean."

Peeta nodded, "So in just a few hours, we'll be fighting for our lives." Sakura smiled at him, "Don't worry okay. The odds WILL be at our favor."


Back at Konoha

"Shizune! Gather Konoha 12 here now!" the blond Hokage yelled as she saw the white fox and Pakkun sitting on her desk with a scroll on her mouth.

"Hai Tsunade-sama!" The purple haired assistance replied scrambling her stuff and disappearing in a puff of smoke.

Tsunade opened the scrolls from Sakura and Kakashi. She read Kakashi's scroll first.

Hokage-sama,

I arrived where Sakura appeared. Apparently, it's called Panem, a country ruled by a government that makes its people fight to their deaths as a reminder that the government can bring down any force. I personally find this inhumane. Pitting everyone in the same country to kill each other for the sake of keeping a stable government is cruel and unusual. Sakura and a boy named Peeta Mellark had been chosen as tributes, candidates. So they are going to try and kill twenty two other people including their own District member in this case Peeta and Sakura.

I am working on a way to transport people here and back there. I hope that you would be able to gather enough ninjas (Konoha 12 would be fine) to be able to send here when I finished because I have a gut feeling, Sakura will be starting a war.

-Kakashi

The Hokage sighed, "I guess it can't be helped." She looked at the pink scroll and decided to open it.

Lady Tsunade,

I was working on a jutsu that the Fourth Hokage used to him earn the title "Yellow Flash" I wanted to improve his jutsu so I would be able to transfer a larger amount of people to a different location in case there was an invasion in Konoha or if we needed to move our ninjas during a war. Unfortunately, Naruto-baka made me lose concentration and I performed the wrong hand seal, so I ended up in Panem. I'm sure Kakashi-sensei has already told you what this country is like. I know that it's out of our jurisdiction to help the people here, but I am pleading as your top anbu and top medic. We need to help these people. I am already part of this country when I volunteered myself as tribute. My plan is at the end of this page. I know I did not talk to Konoha 12 for three weeks, but their specialties are good for the job. Shikamaru can analyze the map that Kakashi-sensei will make and can cover the holes in my plan. I also have one more person that is needed for this plan to work. The details to find her are also at the end of this page.

-Sakura

p.s. if anyone would want to send me a small note, please give it to Hakuea but I will be going into the games soon. So give the scrolls containing the plan information to Pakkun so Kakashi-sensei would be able to read them, while I am in the game.

When the blond Hokage finished reading, she tossed the scroll to Konoha 12 to read. Silence engulfed the room and Naruto was the first one to speak, "I agree with Sakura-chan."

"Hokage-sama what is your call?" Shikamaru asked sighing.

"We put this plan into action." Tsunade said determinedly. Naruto, Rock Lee and Kiba cheered, while the others smiled and Neji and Sasuke smirked.


At Panem, Sakura and Peeta stood in the dining room with Kakashi, Haymitch, Effie and Cinna. Sakura and Kakashi shared a look of understanding. Kakashi knew his part, which was trying to figure out the jutsu that Sakura had started and making the plan fool proof, while Sakura was in the game trying to keep herself alive.

"Good luck you two and may the odds be at your favor," Effie said kissing the two at the temple. Haymitch gave Peeta a hug first then when it was Sakura's turn he whispered, "Kakashi filled me in with the plan. I do hope you know what you're doing. Millions of people could die if this goes south." Sakura whispered back, "I'm sure it won't. I have full confidence in Kakashi and the people back home. Kakashi will keep you three safe just trust him. Please."

Haymitch nodded before letting go as the peacekeepers came to pick up the two tributes. Just before the doors closed, Haymitch called out, "Hey don't forget to find water and don't take any of the materials! Avoid the blood bath!" The two nodded waving goodbye.


The peacekeepers led the two into different rooms and just before they entered a small injection was made for the tracker. Inside, Sakura looked the outfit in front of her. She quickly changed keeping summoning bracelets around her wrists (A.N. It's the same one that Sasuke used in the series against Itachi). She stepped into the pod and was whirled up into the arena, where she faced all of the other tributes.

She looked for Peeta and found him fiddling with his jacket nervously. She looked for Cato and found him looking at her with a blank look. Although his eyes held another story.

"Three" Caesar said from his commentator spot.

"Two"

"One!"

An alarm signaled the beginning of the games, Sakura focused chakra to her feet and darted towards two bags of supplies, ignoring Haymitch's warning, while Peeta darted into the forest. Sakura watched as Cato sliced the boy from District 4's head off with his sword. To the people outside watching the scene, he seemed ruthless but to Sakura he was mourning inside.

"You know I really hate you," Clove said twirling her knife in her hand, she threw the knife at the back of Sakura's head, but her fast reflexes caught it in an instant.

"I don't like you either. As much as I don't like killing people, you just bring me to a point that I want to rip your damn head off," Sakura snarled throwing the knife at the wall behind her, which purposely missed Clove's hair but a centimeter.

"But for now, I'll spare you. See yeah," Sakura smirked disappearing in a whirl of cherry blossom, shocking Clove and everyone, who was watching the games.


Sakura jumped from tree to tree finding a good place to check her supplies safely. She opened both bags and found ropes, two sleeping bags and canteens. No food or water. Screams of agony filled the air and thirteen booms filled the air, telling everyone that there were only eleven tributes left. Sakura stuffed all the supplies back into the bags and made her way to find water and a shelter, where she could stay the night. After she arrived at the river, she bit her finger and summoned Hakuea. The small wolf had two scrolls in her mouth.

"Lady Sakura, one is from Naruto and the other is from the others. Naruto wanted a separate scroll. Almost everyone wrote on the other scroll except Sasuke-sama," Hakuea said putting it in front of her master. Sakura's heart lurched at the sound of Sasuke's name but shrugged it off.

"Thank you Hakuea you may go," Sakura said ruffling the wolf's fur. She nodded before disappearing. Sakura gathered the scrolls and opened them.


After a good ten minutes, she finished reading and tears of joy was running down her face. Her friends had apologized to her except Sasuke, who she didn't care for at the moment. The boy from District 3 noticed the pink haired kunoichi at the river, he readied himself to throw a spear through her back, when he felt the coolness of a blade against his neck.

Sakura, who already knew of the boy's presence, turned around and found Cato with a sword through the boy's throat. He kicked the boy, sliding him off of his sword then left without another word.

"Boom!" signaling that another tribute was dead. Sakura shrugged the feeling off of her chest and decided to look again for a possible hours and hours of nonstop looking for Peeta, she eventually made camp as the sun started to set. She casted a small genjutsu to mislead the other tributes. Faces of the tributes appeared at the dome's sky and fortunately, Peeta wasn't one of them.

"Good," she sighed falling asleep.


At the control center inside the Capitol, Seneca Crane ordered, "Get some damn fireballs in there, she's made her way toward the barrier."

"Yes sir!" one of the staff said.


Back at the Arena, the smell of smoke engulfed Sakura's senses. She hopped off the tree branch that she was using and ran for it.

"Fuck!" She yelled ducking at the fireball that came from behind her. Unfortunately, another fireball came from her side and burnt her leg. She limped gathering chakra to heal her leg as she made her way towards the river. The fire didn't stopped as it spread more and more around her.

"There! I found her!" Glimmer, the blond haired girl from District 1 said readying her bow and arrows. Behind her Peeta, Clove, Cato and the boy from District 10 watched. Unfortunately for all of them, the fire spread around the river, trapping them inside.

Sakura, who was still recovering from the wound that she got, limped trying to keep a distance from the others as well as keeping a distance away from the scorching fire.

"We're going to die!" The boy from district 10 yelled which resulted from Clove slicing his throat due to irritation. Peeta looked at the careers and then at Sakura. He flashed her a worried look which she returned with a smile. The fire made its way towards them and the rocks by the river seemed to be blowing fire balls at them.

"Everyone get to higher ground!" Sakura ordered dodging another fireball clumsily.

"Why should we listen to you?" Clove sneered, but Cato picked her up from her waist and carried the thrashing girl up to the rocks. Glimmer followed his example and climbed to the top.

"Peeta go, I'll follow," Sakura assured him. Her clothes were already burnt and ripped from the running and the fireballs.

"I'm not leaving you here!" Peeta argued grabbing her shirt.

"NO! Go!" Sakura ordered.

"Sakura, I'm not leaving!" Peeta yelled watching the fire move closer to them. Sakura sighed and grabbed Peeta by the shirt and threw him, using a bit of chakra of course, into Cato's waiting arms.

"Take care of him will you!" Sakura yelled.

"Pinky, you better stay alive!" Cato yelled back gripping Peeta by the shirt tightly. Clove gripped her knife tighter feeling a wave of jealousy. Peeta thrashed around trying to get out of Cato's arms. When he finally did, he saw Sakura get eaten by the fire. Cato closed his eyes, trying not to look at the death of another tribute. Peeta then turned to Cato and snapped, "What the hell? Why didn't you fucking save her?" He raised his fist to punch the career but Clove's knife stopped him; she opened her mouth to speak but another voice cut her off.

"Water style: Water Dragon Jutsu!"

The other tributes watched as a blue water dragon surfaced from the water ate the fire surrounding them with one gulp. In the middle, they spotted Sakura making some fast movements with her hands.

"Water style: Water Tsunami!" She called out, a big wave of water drowned the fire, stopping it in its tracks.

Sakura panted tiredly as she lost many of her chakra reserve. The four jumped down the rocks to look at her. Peeta made his way towards the pink haired girl and supported her by putting her arm around his shoulders.

"Can I take the shot?" Glimmer asked as she prepared her bow and arrow again. Peeta looked horrified as Clove prepared her knives to kill the two of them and Glimmer eyed them with hatred.

"No, we find camp. Tomorrow we'll hunt for them again. So I suggest you two get away as far as you can," Cato said assertively putting a hand in front of Glimmer. The two girls sighed and followed him.


Peeta sighed in relief carrying Sakura bridal style in his arms while he put the two bags on his shoulder. He started to walk towards the opposite direction then he whispered, "Now you have a lot of explaining to do."

"Later, too tired," Sakura mumbled blacking out in his arms.


Back at the pent house where Haymitch, Effie and Cinna sat watching the games gaped at the blue dragon and at the tsunami that Sakura made. They turned to Kakashi, who had let out a grumble, "I guess she didn't have a choice."

"You have some explaining to do. What are you two? What is she?," Haymitch said turning to him. Kakashi nodded, "I suggest you three get yourselves comfortable this will be a long story."


Well there you go! Chapter 7 it had some actions. If many of you are wondering, Cato will have some significance in this story. Please review and NO flames please. I update that's a new record! One day before updating hahah or actually about a few hours not even a full day! Whoo!
