This chapter is for Infinite Legend. I hope I portrayed your characters the way you wanted me too. Sorry for not updating in so long; it's been crazy. Hopefully with the holidays coming up I can update more regularly.

The Reaping of District Six (Enter Yuki Reasaki POV)

I have to get out of this house:I thought. We were over my brother's in the Victor's village. Oh how I disliked him. He'd taken everything from me by winning the games. My parents had always rated me over him even though he was older. I was their favorite and I loved it. Then when Heath was 17 he won the games and came home victorious. My parents have barley spared me a look since.

My hatred for Heath wasn't the only reason I wanted to get out of there. Dain, my fiancée, has been going through his most recent relapse. He suffers from severe depression and has tried to commit suicide numerous times. It hurts me that I can't cure his depression and he tries to not let it overcome him so much so he can be sane for me. I can't wait till we can get married and move in together. The sooner I'm out from under the influence of my parents the happier I'll be.

Finally we leave my brother's since we all have to be ready for the reaping. It's a short walk from Heath's to our home. We live in the richer part of 6 because my parents make good at both of their jobs. My mother makes toys based off of mutts from past hunger games and my father makes movies based off of mutts.

I walked up to my room to get ready. I put on a long purple skit with a gold shirt that makes my amber eyes stand out that much more. I leave before my parents so I can meet up with my best friend, Claralee Miller. My parents hardly let me out of the house so I only see her occasionally outside of school.

"Hey Yuki! How are you?" she says brightly. She's a really sweet girl but if you piss her off it would get ugly quickly. She literally spits fire when mad.

"I'll be better once I see Dain and volunteer for the games."

"So you're really going to volunteer and leave me here all by my lonesome?" she pouts.

"Yes and I'm sorry I don't want to leave you or Dain but I have to do this for me. I need to show my parents that I matter just as much as Heath. Also if I win I'll be so rich I could get someone to cure Dain of his depression…"

"I understand. You're my best friend and I'm going to back you no matter what."

"Thanks."

There was still a half an hour till the reaping so we walked to Dain's house. He was waiting outside for us. As we approached he gave the pair of us a small smile. I noticed the new marks on the skin of his wrist. It hurt me every time I knew he'd been hurting. It just deepened my resolve to go win the Games so I could help him. When we reached his porch he leaned down and kissed me softly.

"Hello love. Hey Claralee," He always spoke with such a soft voice.

"Hey Dain. How are you?" asked Claralee.

"Better now that I got to see you two." He replied.

With his depression Dain doesn't have many friends. Some are scared of him; others just think he's odd. Claralee never judges anyone so she accepted him the way others would not. This was one of the main reasons I loved her so much.

We reached the square five minutes before the reaping was set to start. The mayor and the district escort were already on the stage. Our district escort is a stuck up brat. She can't stand us from the districts and keeps to herself. She looks stupid with her bald head, fairy wings-fairy wings for crying out loud- and her frilly lacey dresses. Yep Panem's favorite escort, Gevirik Florent.

She doesn't go on about how wonderful it is to be here. She hates us. Soon she's pulling out the female name.

"Isabelle K-"

"I volunteer!" I walk towards the stage. As I climb up the steps Gevirik asks for my name.

"Yuki Reasaki."

"Please stand over there." She indicates a place as far as possible from her on the stage. When I get to my place I can't help but look at reactions from the crowd. Claralee is crying but is able to look at me with pride. Dain is patting her back to comfort her but he has eyes only for me. He mouths, I love you to me and I send a small smile in his direction. My parents look shocked, no stunned really. I don't know why because they know the training that I've put into going to the games; I wasn't going to put all of it to waste. I peek behind me to see my brother's reaction. He simply gives me a knowing look. I listen in to hear the boy tributes name as it is called.

"Peter Davies."

"I volunteer."

The volunteer is none other than Claralee's twin brother, my ex-boyfriend, Blace Miller.

_Flashback 3 Hours_

(Enter Blace Miller POV)

I sat outside on our porch strumming my guitar. My mother and sister were inside making a nice lunch for us before the reaping. My parents were really alright. Compared to some homes mine was heaven. My twin sister Claralee is pretty alright too. We got along better though, before I broke up with her best friend Yuki Reasaki around 3 years ago.

Yuki Reasaki….

Man I wanted her back so bad. I can't even remember what we broke up about to tell you the truth. I remembered the blazing row we'd had in front of her house. In this regard I'm like my sister. We both have towering tempers. The fight had been really bad. Claralee was so angry with me she wouldn't talk to me for two whole weeks. I regretted it and still regret it to this day. A little after our huge fight she began going out with this kid named Dain Jovery. I don't truly believe she loves him like Claralee and everyone else says she does. There's no way she could. She loves me. She's just using this kid to get over me I know it.

However this was going to be the year I proved to her that she needed me. Today at the reaping I was going to volunteer. I was going to go win the Games and come back a victor. She would love me, she'd have to. I went inside and ate quickly; eager to meet up with my friends, Gavert and Karson, before the reaping.

We met in front of the bakery shop. Gavert was cool. He always wore sunglasses. He was popular, the guy everyone wanted to know. Karson was freckly like me and a total nerd. He's the oldest of the 3 of us and can always be counted on for the most random facts at the most random times.

"Hello guys. Did you know that hummingbirds' wings can go 53 miles per second?" Karson asked.

"Naw I didn't know that Karson, but I know Crazy in love over there has a heart rate of 100 miles per hour when he sees a certain Yuki Reasaki walkin' by." says Gavert with a smirk on his face.

I give him a special You are so dead stare. Unfortunately he has a point. I am about to volunteer my life so she can notice me but I made this pack that I would volunteer for her to notice me when I was 16 ages ago. I was going to go through on my word to myself.

We changed our course and made it to the square. Just in time to the reaping was beginning. Gavert and I hurried to the 16 year old section as Karson headed for the 17teens. Our bald fairy of an escort began the reapings quickly because she wanted to get back to the capitol as soon as possible. She hates us and it shows every time she has to come to District 6. She pulls a female name out of the reaping ball.

"Isabelle K-"

"I volunteer."

I felt blood drain from my face. Yuki Reasaki just volunteered as a tribute. I touch my black feather, my good luck charm that was in my pocket and tried to gather my courage. I couldn't back out now from my promise to volunteer now. I'd just have to find another way to best Dain in the games. To make Yuki Reasaki mine. A male name is called.

"Peter Davies."

"I volunteer."

I take my place on the stage quickly. I see the shock, surprise, and anger on Yuki's face. I can't back out now. The mayor finishes all of his required speeches. He motions for us to shake hands. We do. She looks at me with unfathomable eyes and I can only wonder what she's thinking. We turn and face the people of District 6 as the anthem of Panem plays.

"I give you Yuki Reasaki and Blace Miller, tributes for District 6. May the odds be ever in your favors."

True fact: Common small North American hummers like the Ruby-throated and Rufous average around 53 per second in normal flight. Please read and review!
