Ok, I had a lot of time, so i decided to write a quick short chapter. I know it's not as long as you would like, but be glad i wrote it. I could've been doing something else (that's a lie, i'm only watching myth busters :) ) But i do hope you enjoy this "transition" chapter!
The skinny woman on the stage behind the podium cleared her throat.
"As I said, the awards are beginning so settle down. To start, we are going to announce the award for Best Fighting Power. Our nominees are: Chika Yu, Rock Lee, and Shikamaru Nara."
The room was silent as they watched the almost scary looking woman on the podium open the envelope. Now that Sakura noticed it, she looked sick! Her face was pale and she was sickly thin. Why hasn't she gone to the hospital?
"And the winner is…" anyone could've heard a pin drop in this silent room. "Rock Lee!"
Before anyone could clap and applause, Lee jumped up on a table and shouted, "I KNOW I'D WIN!!! YES!!! I ONLY WISH GAI SENSEI WERE HERE TO SEE THIS!"
Neji and Ten Ten slumped over with embarrassment as everyone was staring at their very loud table. "Why him?" they both thought.
The awards went left and right, and the night seemed to fly.
Every so often Sakura would look to her left and right to check on her teammates. But it was useless. Those teammates wouldn't budge from their glare off.
Inside their Head at the Moment:
N Naruto
S Sasuke
N Sakura's mine!
S Nuh Uh! I'm the one she's loves!
N You have no proof of that!
S Yeah I do!
N What kind of proof!
S The last ten years of our lives!
N Not true!
S It is and you know it!
N Well even if that's true, she likes me now!
S No way! It was just a fluke that she asked you to dance!
N Was not!
S Was too!
N Was not!
S Was too!
(As you can guess, this went on for a LONG time)
Sakura sighed. What's the point of being fought over, if they're not even going to fight out loud?
Her anxiety was broken when the skinny woman on stage announced the award Sakura had been dreading the entire night…. Hers!
"I now announce the final award of this evening. This award is a very special award. This award is specially chosen by the Hokage herself. The great Tsunade achieved this award at the age of seventeen! Our nominees for the Great Medical Ninja of Konoha are Ino Yamanaka, Eliza Yanteen, and finally Sakura Haruno!"
"The Winner is…!"
"Not me, not me, please let it not be me, anyone but me."
"Sakura Haruno!"
Both of Sakura's teammates jumped up and began yelling. Sakura slowly slumped up to the stage to give a speech that she wrote on a napkin. She really didn't want to be here.
Before she gave her speech, the woman placed a large radiant pink hibiscus in her hair. It was beautiful. It also let off a wonderful scent. Sakura felt her cheeks blush. This flower was just too beautiful for her.
She looked out into the audience in awe. The entire house was standing up and clapping! For Sakura!
It was just too much! She felt like fainting but instead, began smiling and laughing in joy. She unfolded the dirty napkin and glanced at it for a moment.
These scribbles were supposed to be spoken in order to thank these people that gave her such joy! Nah! It wasn't enough!
Sakura tossed the napkin behind her (accidentally hitting the skinny woman in the face) and took a deep breath. If this speech was going to be good, it would have to come from the heart.
So did you like my "transition" chapter? I really do hope so! So reply if you want to and have the time to reply! I really do appreciate it! Thanks again!
