---Book of Paradise---
(Part 8)
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or Naruto. I probably never will; that's why I'm writing fan fiction!
I'm trying to stall to make this longer –lol! Hope you enjoy this, but I'm not particularly sure if this was actually funny…It was mostly for my own amusement, so I really doubt it will be…
Two hands, held up a sign that was large, and displaying several pitch black, sloppily painted on letters that suspiciously looked a lot like Naruto's writing…
Naruto Special – Commercial Break!
Sakura read it nice and loud, then taking the sign and dropping it on the ground.
"Kakashi!" Tenten hissed, "We're on air! Where are you?"
"Oi, oi, don't worry! I'm here!" He called out from somewhere outside the airing room.
"Well, get on here! You're supposed to be doing the introduction!" The weapons user twitched and stormed out of view.
"Oh…oh!" A green, silver, and blue blur passed by and suddenly stopped in front of the screen, "Hi! I'm Hatake Kakashi and I'm introducing here…" He scratched the back of his head sheepishly and looked to the left, "What am I supposed to say here?"
"There's something wrong with the screen" Kiba mumbled from the camera crew peering closer into his camera.
"Ah!" Naruto snickered behind a hand.
"What does it say?" Kakashi curiously asked.
Hinata blushed, "Sorry…I think Naruto-kun changed it"
At the bottom of the screen for the subtitles, where 'Hatake Kakashi' was supposed to be typed, it instead said, 'Pervert-sensei'
There was an aggravated growl coming from Kakashi.
Kagome sighed, "Neji, could you please switch the camera view to Team 7?"
The camera got blurry with motion for a moment, and then refocused on 3 people seated on computer chairs.
"Wait! I'm not done yet!" Sakura shrieked, pulling off all the rolls in her hair and rapidly drying it, trying to keep her face from the camera.
Sasuke sighed and rolled his eyes, crossing his arms and legs on his seat and leaning back.
Naruto grinned, fidgeting a bit.
"All right" Kagome started, "Remember – this is just for fun! Introduce everyone…their name and goals in life, I guess, quite boring, but I couldn't think of anything else" she pouted and motioned for them to start.
"Hn. Uchiha Sasuke. My goal is to avenge my clan" Sasuke blew a bang out of his face and sat there, nearly emotionless for the time being.
Naruto leaned awkwardly into the camera lens, "HI! My name's Uzumaki Naruto!" He stared with much enthusiasm and leaning forward on his chair, "And my goal is to become Hokage – the best one ever! BELIEVE IT! I'll be better than any other Hokage everto exist and - "
"Alright, that's enough, Naruto" Neji sighed, zooming in on the now ready Sakura.
"Hi! I'm Haruno Sakura… And I don't know what my goal is in life, but I like Sasuke…" Sakura blushed, stealing a glance at an impassive Uchiha.
"Okay, the camera man here is Hyuuga Neji" Kagome added on, "Inuzuka Kiba is right here" she waited until Neji turned to the boy and then moved on, "Rock Lee…" he was sitting in the corner, staring off into space and mumbling something about hard work, "Hyuuga Hinata, Tenten, and I'm Higurashi Kagome"
Kagome smiled into the camera, "Today, we're going to be talking about, um…" She looked at Kiba, who was giving cue lines, "New Year's Resolutions!"
"But Kagome-chan…isn't it a couple days late already?" Sakura hesitantly questioned.
"Yeah…but I guess even now, people are making resolutions, so I called this day off of your training to star this show!"
"Alright!" Kiba cheered from behind the camera.
"Here" Kagome explained, "You guys can list your resolutions and I'll state what you should look out for and never make a resolution to so I can help you guys out"
"Alright!" Naruto cheered, clasping his hands together in excitement, "Kakashi-sensei, you start!"
Hinata fixed the subtitle to 'Hatake Kakashi' and Neji zoomed at bit into his face.
"Well…" Kakashi leaned back on his seat, "My new year's resolution is to read the next volume of Icha Icha Paradise"
…And this is where Kagome came in, looking a bit red, "And you shouldn't make that resolution because unfortunately, Miroku will not be making anymore volumes, due to the fact that his hand will be too crippled to even pick up a pencil"
Kakashi sagged n disappointment, "Alright…but that was too bad…as a main character, you were really good"
"HENTAI!" Kagome screamed at him.
The sensei just got up and pulled out the infamous little orange book and started reading, waking backstage.
Lee finally snapped out of it and enthusiastically rushed into the seat, "My new year's resolution is to gain Sakura-butterfly's love!" He fisted his hand and an unknown fire raged in his eyes, making a couple people nervous.
Naruto clenched his fists at this proclamation, still having a crush on the kunoichi.
"Well -" a raging pink-haired girl cut off Kagome.
"-I'm sorry, but you can't make resolutions or goals like that" Sakura nearly screamed into the camera, "Things that are as impossible as that…you shouldn't keep your hopes up"
Kagome let out a small chuckle at this as Lee's spirit was deflated, but an unknown will pumped him up again, "Like, for example, my resolution for the New Year is to kill Naraku and…maybe…find a love…"
Kakashi was seen staring at Kagome.
"Who's Naraku?" Tenten and Hinata asked curiously.
Kagome sighed bitterly, "An enemy of mine… Anyways, swing the camera over to the left please, Neji" she smiled again.
It landed on Sasuke.
He twitched; annoyed that he'd have to do this.
"What's your resolution, Sasuke-kun?" Sakura piped up.
The Uchiha turned his head away from the camera, "To kill Itachi," he stated bluntly, not willing to admit that Itachi was his brother because of what he had done.
"Oh…" there was silence.
"Naruto!" Kiba called out, "How bout' yours?"
Naruto grinned. It was his turn now! "MY NEW YEARS RESOLUTION IS TO BECOME HOKAGE!"
Tenten sighed and explained, "That one takes longer than a year…a new years resolution is supposed to be done within a year…but you aren't even chunin yet"
Naruto's grin faltered, "Oh…well….IT'S MY RESOLUTION!"
"Alright then…" Tenten and Sakura rolled their eyes while Hinata blushed.
"What are you doing, Kagome-san?" Neji turned away from the camera to see Kagome beside, pressing a couple buttons.
"Oh, Neji-san, I was just tampering a bit" The miko smirked and clasped her hands together, "There! Perfect!"
Neji looked at her oddly, then turned back to the camera…
The subtitle for Naruto's interview now said, 'Number 1 Hyperactive Ninja and Ramen Obsessed'
Sasuke snorted, smirked with Neji and the girls burst out laughing, Hinata turning red a giving a nervous smile.
"Cut! CUT!" Naruto protested, "I am NOT A RAMEN OBSESSED PERSON!"
"Right, right…" Kagome, Sakura, Kiba, and Tenten coughed.
Chatter started amongst themselves again.
"Alright, alright" Kagome got the groups' attention, "I think a resolution that we all should have is to not get drunk anytime this week for the parties!"
Everyone agreed, but heard a distinct complaint in the back of the room, "But why…?" Kakashi whined.
The majority of the people in the room rolled their eyes.
"It's not good – and so is this" Kagome looked pretty disgusted as she plucked the book out of his hands and dropped it right beside the garbage can, his eyes widened, "Be thankful I missed" she taunted to the jaw-slack Jounin.
"I'M writing it this time" Sakura sighed, snatching the marker from Naruto, "I doubt anyone could read your writing"
"Okay…it looks like you genin are back to training tomorrow" Kagome commented, sighing.
Lee perked up, "Training is fun!"
Everybody else looked pointedly at him.
On a white board, Sakura printed, "Commercial Over" and taped it to the wall.
"That's too much tape," Naruto pointed out.
"Yes, but it would fall if there wasn't enough"
Naruto walked up to the sign, "But it'll stay up if you just remove this piece…that one…and this one over here" he stripped a few pieces off.
Tenten raised an eyebrow, but made a thumbs up sign anyways, signaling for Neji to zoom in on the sign.
Two seconds later, the sign fell off the wall.
I couldn't find a way to end it… Anyways, sorry this is so late, I currently ran out of ideas. Read and review onegai!
Sayonara,
Tenshi-Battosai
