The heavy smell of dirt and blood filled Sakura's nostrils, causing her sit up from her laying position and look around her. Her eyes adjusted to the small light of torches that was eliminating the corners of her cell. It had been only three days since she waken by the guards to find herself at the place they called Reim Colosseum and in those three days she hadn't been fed or acknowledge by anyone else. She leaned against the wall and bars in the corner listening for any signs of anyone watching her or approaching. Minutes went by until she heard footsteps approaching her then her cell door open and close again.

"Since you been gone we got a newcomer and since space is so limited, they are staying in the same cell as you. They only been here for three days, so dont give them any food. Well you know the drill since you went through the same thing. They dont last a week they get feed to the animals." The man laughed as he went away.

All she could see was a shape of a tall muscular figure of young man standing were he came in before he moved to the corned near the door and sat down. No words was exchanged and it stayed like that for the next four days. They would come for him and he would be gone for hour until he came back smelling like blood and sweat but one that fourth day it was different. She heard more than two pairs of coming towards her cell before they opened the door and throw her cell mate to the floor.

"You were really pathetic out there today! Lets see how you do tomorrow without any food tonight." They slammed the cell door and left without another word.

She watched as he continued to lay on the ground without moving, after ten minutes she decide to crawl towards him slowly to see if he was alright. The closer she got the more intense of the smell of blood invading her nose. Just inches away she felt warm liquid under hand, she moved her hand up to be able to see it under the dim lights and gasped at the amount of blood in her hand. She quickly moved to his side and felt his body for any open wounds until she heard a grunt. Her hand brushed against open flesh that continued to bleed slowly. She took off her top layer of her kimono leaving her in white dress. She placed the piece of clothing on his wound to stop the bleeding. After it finally stop, she grabbed bowl of water she kept for herself and cleaned his wounds with it. By the time she finally finished, she admired her work and went back to her corner falling to sleep.

By the moment she woke up, she was greeted by red eyes staring down at her intensely. She looked away trying to ignore him but she heard a small mutter from him causing her to look at his direction. Give a look of question at him, he spoke little louder for her to hear, "Why?"

She was surprised and confused by his question but after thinking she realized he must have been talking about her taking care of his wound yesterday. All she did was smile at him kindly. Which the boy frowned upon and looked away uninterested before a thought formed in his mind. He didn't know how the girl look or even her age. So without warning he stood up and moved towards her without her realizing it and froze when he saw he small five year old form. Her short pink hair tangled and dirty from not taking a bath while blood from what he concluded to be his still on her legs. He couldn't understand why a fragile five year old was doing in a place like this. She was small and weak. No way she was going to be able to win her first fight. Before he could make a comment the sound of footsteps reached his ear and turned to see a guard waiting at the cell door.

"Pathetic little thing right? Dont worry, we are short on food so she is going to be food." His eyes widen at the guards statement and quickly looked at the girl and saw her own eyes widen in horror. Consume in shock he didnt hear the guard open the cell door and walk past him towards the girl. He watched as she tried to back more into the wall to get away from the man but he picked her up and started to make way to the door but hand grabbed onto his wrist. "Hey? What are you doing? Let me go this insist."

"Let the kid go." He commanded with a strength voice as his icy cold eyes stared at him.

"And what if I don't?''

"I will break ever bone in your body. She stays here under my watch." His grip tighten making the guard grunt in pain.

He look down at the scared girl before smirking and dropped her to the floor, making her hit her face. "Fine. Fine. You win. I will come to get you for your match later on. So be ready." He looked over at the girl once more before exiting the cell leaving.

Sakura whipped her face and looked at her hands deciding that it was more interesting thing to look at than the person that was at her side. Silent was the only thing that continued to satisfy them until it broke by a soft voice. "Thank you..."

His red eyes looked at uninterested and closed them to get some rest but his sighed heavily, "Masrur. My name is Masrur."

She lifted up her head with a big smile spread across her face and her soft voice loud enough for him to only hear her, "Thank you Masrur. I'm Sakura."

He nodded to himself before drifting off into his own little world but last thought he had about her was that Sakura did fit for someone like her.


A/N: I just wanted to say that Sakura in this story rarely talks in the beginning because she is rather shy girl and she has learned for experience silence is the best thing to do in bad situations. You will understand that more into the story.
