Kana was nervous for Sakura. She was competing again in the Cooking Festival and he remembered her reaction the last time the Festival was held. Kana held his breath. Bluebell was declared the winner again. He was prepared to comfort Sakura [if she needed a hug, he would give her a hug] but instead of joining immediately joining the Konohana side, Sakura ran over to Bluebell's side and congratulated the competitors. He couldn't hear what they were saying but the expressions on their faces were expressions of shock and surprise.
Sakura seemed quite satisfied with herself when she rejoined the Konohana side. The majority of the townspeople had already left but Kana was waiting for her.
"What was that all about?" he asked her.
"Oh, nothing. I just thought I'd congratulate them on their win."
"I hope you know that Ina didn't look too pleased with what you did."
"I don't care," Sakura frowned, "Well, I guess I shouldn't say that. I do care, but nothing's going to get better if we all sit around and do nothing. I thought I'd do something. Besides, Jessia agreed to give me her recipe for the amazing baked lasagna dish she brought. Now that's victory."
Kana couldn't help but shake his head. Sakura never ceased to amaze him but that was one of his favorite things about her.
