The next morning, I slipped out of bed, fully awake. It was a habit. If an intruder broke in to the house, I wouldn't be fighting with sleep in my eye and groggily.
I showered and brushed my teeth. As soon as I was dressed in a pair of black jeans, neon green hoodie and white tank top, I ate two chewy granola bars and drank a swig of apple juice. I grabbed my gear (ipod, supple of kunais and others) I slipped on my shoes and head out the door. Sasuke, Naruto and I arrived at the same time.
Hours later, we were still waiting for our sensei. At the same time, Sasuke and Naruto's stomach growled involuntarily.
Kakashi finally appeared and began to explain the rules.
Okay, get the bells, pass the test and… don't get tied up! Easy.
SHANNARO!
Okay, now that were in our hiding places we have to come up with a strategy—
"Pssst, Sakura…over here," Naruto said.
"Shhh," I hissed
"I have a plan…"
"Take that!" Naruto said jumping out in the open.
He began to attack Kakashi while dodging his tricks. I used the trick that I used on Naruto before, to quickly tie up sensei, though it would only hold him a few seconds. As soon as he was tied, I reached for the bells. Got them!
I held one in the air, about to throw it to Naruto, when it disappeared from my hands.
I turned to see Sasuke holding it above me with his thumb and index finger.
"Give it." I growled.
He chuckled lightly and bent down a little toward my ear,
"Sorry Sakura, but I had to do what I had to do," I glared at him, as sensei brushed himself off from the round.
I looked over to Naruto, who was nearly to tears, no, not the obnoxious kind, where they are pouring uncontrollably down your face and your having grieving shudders of breath, no, that's just very annoying. But he's eyes filled up, though I know he was trying to hide it. This was his one chance at becoming Hokage, and he needed more than I did.
"Okay, so the winners are Sasuke and Sak…"
"Whoops." I said, unemotionally, and "tripped" over, tossing my bells in the air to directly fall in Naruto's hand.
"Hmmm… I guess Sasuke and Naruto win. Too bad for me," I said uncaringly.
I hate myself.
Yeah, I hate you too.
"Sakura, why did you do that?" Naruto said, utterly confused.
"Did what?" I asked raising an eyebrow. He gave me this begging kind of look like he needed to know. "Uh…fine, this is your one chance, and there are still other things I could train for…"
"Thank you Sakura-Chan!" he said hugging me.
"Get…the hell…off….of me…if you want to live… to become Hokage." I said gritting my teeth.
"Well, I'll see you guys around then…" I said as I started to walk off.
"Aren't you forgetting something?" Sasuke said.
"Oh yeah, the log, whatever," I shrugged.
"Actually, you all pass, that was great team work!"
"So…no log?"
"Yep, no log, from now on, we are team seven,"
"YEAH!" Naruto shouted.
"Hey, Sakura…" Kakashi said, "How did you keep up your energy…?"
At that, I smirked, "I ate breakfast."
