"...asha....."<br/>"...Sasha, wa...."<br/>"Sasha!"<br/>After calling her friend for the fifth time, and gaining the same results of the dirty blonde rolling over in her bed and falling back to sleep, Zakura pulled off her glove and shook Sasha's bare shoulder. She let a small shock leave her, and that forced Sasha awake. Her eyes shot open and she quickly smacked Zakura's hand away from her shoulder.<br/>"The hell?" Sasha grumbled. "What time is it?" She asked next, glancing over at her bedside clock. "Crap." Sasha muttered next.<br/>"Exactly. And you want to be part of the Arena team?" Zakura asked as she turned to leave the room. Sash groaned, and tossed away the bed sheets to get dressed.<br/><br/>She was out of her room, fully dressed to find Zakura sitting at the table, munching on cereal.<br/>"Did you spend the night?" Sasha asked in confusion.<br/>"Yep. Don't you remember?" Zakura asked, laughing at Sasha perplexed expression.<br/>"I remember saying goodnight...I thought you had left though." Sasha murmured, shaking her head gently. As she brushed past the living room table, Sasha let her hand slip out, and the dogtags flew quickly to her hand. She had remembered taking them off last night, but she quickly fastened them around her neck again, tucking the cool metal under her shirt.<br/><br/>"You should eat something." Zakura murmured.<br/>"I doubt we'll be competing as soon as we're in teams." Sasha muttered as she started to twist her hair up.<br/>"Training?" Zakura asked instead, glancing over at her friend knowingly.<br/>"Why the hell are you so smart so early in the morning?" Sash groaned, getting a bowl for herself as Zakura smirked.<br/><br/>After breakfast they left the apartments and headed towards the festival.<br/>"There's bound to be others who want in on this action." Sasha was saying, though, of course, Zakura was half listening. "We can stop by the booth and see if anyone's around...maybe they've got a team already. Then we can head to the new arena." Sasha reasoned.<br/>"You can head to the new arean." Zakura corrected. "I don't want any part of this. I'll watch once the tournaments starts, but that's it."<br/>Sasha rolled her eyes gently but let the subject lie as they wandered back around towards the festival where all the other booths were set up.
