---Book of Paradise---
(Part 14, Selection 1)
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Inuyasha.
(Pouts) This story is ending soon. In approx. 6-7 more chapters… I'm guessing. It's not confirmed.(Sob)
Here's a review reply to 'Jacqueline', who was an anonymous reviewer to B.O.P. 4… Here it is:
For your information, I don't think anybody but the author of 'Naruto' knows what's under the mask. The special eye, which is the Sharingan, is not under the mask, it's under the forehead protector.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter, which is really far-fetched, but anyways… (Groan) I need to catch up on some freaking sleep…
Sorry for the half chapter once again, if I don't update like this now, I don't know when the next time is going to be… I've just gotten assigned more freaking homework…
Plunge boldly into the thick of life.

"Hey!" Kagome beckoned Kakashi over, "Look at this!" She pointed to a poster taped to the electricity pole.
"What is it…?" Kakashi appeared behind the miko, reading the ad in full interest.
"I really don't know, but it seems interesting…"
Konoha's 6th Annual Konohagakure Election!
Vote for your favored politician here! Polling takes place next week outside of the Ichiraku Ramen!
The politicians from last year have joined up in partners for benefit!
Running for Election This Year Are:
Orochimaru and Kabuto (Communist Party)
Sasuke and Neji (Prodigy Party)
Lee and Gai-sensei (Youth Party)
Naruto and his Ramen (Konoha Specialist Party)
Ino and Sakura (Rooting Party)
Don't miss the voting date! Hope to see you there!
"So…"
"Alright then…" Kakashi scratched the back of his head in confusion, "Ano…but…there has never been an election before…" He noted where it said 'Konoha's 6th annual' and 'politicians from last year' It was probably a typo.
"Really…?" Kagome bit her lip in confusion, and then lightened up, "Alright then…who are you going to vote for…?"
"No idea. We've got to attend one of their debates one day" Kakashi mumbled, guiding Kagome away from the poster with an arm around her waist.
"Alright then…that sounds like a fairly good idea"
"What time is it going to be?"
"I think sometime in the evening, 6pm, perhaps?"
"That sounds about right…"
Kagome stopped for a moment, "Hey…what about Tsunade then?" Wrinkles formed around the bridge of her nose.
Kakashi thought that looked very cute, as a matter of fact.
"I believe that she's hosting this. She said that the election…the winner will only be in control for a day…soo…right after that, she gains her power again…" Kakashi replied.
"But…ano…what if a really weird person wins?" Kagome said meekly, thinking about the worst.
"Don't worry about it" He reassured her, "If the person was weird, then I doubt anyone would vote for them" The copy-nin squeezed her shoulder as a sign of comfort.
Kagome noticeably relaxed, resting a head against Kakashi's shoulder as they began to walk again, "We still need to buy some groceries…"
"Yeah"
"…So…how long is the election going to take place…?" Kagome frowned. There was 4 more days until she had to return home.
"I believe 3 days…when are you leaving again?"
She nearly smacked her forehead in exasperation, "In 4 days! I told you that this morning!"
"Really?"
A sigh escaped her lips and she rolled her eyes.
For the third time that day, Kagome paused in her walk, thinking about something. (First, to see the election notice, second, to ask about Tsunade, and then now…)
"Hey, Kakashi-kun…?" This was a nickname that had somehow developed over the night…
"Hmm…?" Kakashi turned to face Kagome once more, in a questioning manner, "Yes, what is it?"
"Isn't your team training today?"
"Oh, SHOOT!" He was gone in a fraction of a second, leaving Kagome there to blink and sort out her thoughts in the dust while her 'boyfriend' had left to catch up with his poor, forgotten teammates…
What a caring comrade.
Team 7 Training Grounds…
Without the slightest warning, Kakashi appeared in front of his team with a small 'poof', "Sorry I'm late guys, I had to help a beautiful lady sort out her thoughts"
"LIAR!" Sakura and Naruto pointed accusingly at Kakashi.
"Anyways, practice your chakra; do some tree climbing as usual" Kakashi explained lazily. He turned around, hiding a little smile that nobody could see anyways.
No, no.
He hadn't been lying at all.
Sighing contently, Kakashi pulled out his Icha Icha Paradise book that had managed to escape the wrath of Kagome while she had been searching his apartment for her missing sock.
Before he began reading though, he couldn't help but wonder what his comrades winning tactics for the upcoming election was going to be.
Okay! This one was a four-page chapter. I hope you enjoy it so far… I want to go watch episode 173 of Naruto now, since I haven't had time yet…so… Read and review onegai!
Sayonara,

PS - I apologize for the lack of excitement and events in this chapter and the over-excessive author's note today. Gomen nasai...
