---Book of Paradise---

(Part 14, Selection 3)

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Inuyasha.

Hey guys! I'm starting to realize that this story is wandering further off the path from it's original summary…but don't worry! (Smiles) I'll get back to that eventually.

Thank you for all your reviews so far! With the beginning for part 15 sometime next week or so, the first chapter of Inevitable Love will go up…

I'm still debating how to kill Miroku… Any ideas? Lol.

I am my choices.

Overall POV…

Morning, Voting Day…

The day Kagome and Kakashi woke up; they found that posters were everywhere advertising the parties and what they stood for.

The two wouldn't actually be surprised if they awoke to a poster taped onto their window.

Of course, the best politicians posted their advertisements in the busiest places… So, when Kagome went grocery shopping in the morning, she saw people tearing the posters off and pasting another party on top of another, all battling for a place on the walls and ripping the competitors.

Sasuke and Neji, the Prodigy Party, had placed some type of barrier scroll over theirs, which…left them untouched, much to their relief.

And to be sort of expected, there were arrows pointing to their posters, marked the Rooting Party, 'Vote for them!'

On Kagome's trip to Ichiraku ramen, she found the Konoha Specialist Party banners, balloons, and posters in all places imaginable.

Naruto had taken over the ramen district, to no surprise.

Orochimaru's were found near the Hokage Tower, and Lee's could bee seen around most of the training grounds.

There was a small stain in the corner of one where Akamaru had 'accidentally' sprayed on while training his 'Dynamic Markings' technique.

And…of course, Sakura and Ino's could be seen wherever you could find Sasuke and Neji's.

"Poster overload…" Kagome mumbled, while regrettingly tearing apart a banner to access the next street, "The voting already started a long time ago and Kakashi's still sleeping" She rolled her eyes and sighing exasperatedly.

Now she wondered why she had let him catch some extra sleep in the first place.

After grabbing all the essential food that they'd need, Kagome took the time to head to the Hokage Tower, where the voting was taking place.

At the doors, Kagome was greeted by balloons and more posters, "Sakura! How's it going with the election?"

Turning around, Sakura gasped in excitement, "Kagome! You're here!"

"Yep!" She grinned, "The one and only!"

"I'm so glad you came! It's been packed in here all morning!"

"How's it going?"

Sakura sighed, "I think it's going pretty well, Naruto's hosting free ramen on the other side of the room and Sasuke and Neji are just sort of standing there. I think Ino and I are doing pretty well"

"That's great!" Kagome replied, "Anyways, I'm going to post my vote now, good luck!"

"Thanks!"

Dropping her bags of groceries onto the ground, the miko received her voting pamphlet and a pen.

Sitting down at one of the various tables, Kagome quickly scanned the list. She bit her lip as she realized that she didn't actually know who to vote for…

"Hey, Kagome…" Kakashi smiled, startling Kagome.

"I thought you were asleep!"

"I was" Kakashi sighed, "You should've woken me up!" he whined jokingly.

"But you looked so cute sleeping there, that I just couldn't wake you up" Kagome giggled as Kakashi sat down beside her, another pen and pamphlet too.

"So, who are you going to vote for anyways?"

Kagome sighed, "I actually still don't know. It's a hard decision…"

"Agreed"

"Don't you ever wish you were famous?"

"What do you mean? What made you think of that?" Kakashi frowned in confusion at her sudden question.

"I mean like…" Kagome dropped her voting pamphlet onto the table and faced Kakashi, "Famous… Like, everybody knew you and everything?"

"Kagome, if everybody knew you, it wouldn't really mean that they'd like you"

"Oh yeah…"

"And besides" Kakashi grinned mischievously, "You're famous, right here" he took out his orange book and pointed to the cover, a quite perverted expression on his covered face.

Kagome scowled, punching him in the arm and picking her pencil back up again.

"Itai!" Kakashi whined, rubbing his arm, "What was that for? It's the truth!"

Rolling her eyes, Kagome sighed, finally making a decision and ticking off one of the few boxes on her sheet.

As soon as Kakashi was done with his, they booth stood up, their chairs scraping against the floor. The two made their way back to the front, sliding their votes into a chakra-sealed box.

"And it's done" Kagome whispered as she walked out the Hokage Tower doors with the copy-nin.

"We have to come back later to see the results"

The miko nodded, "Who did you vote for anyways?"

"I thought that Sasuke and Neji did a very acceptable performance at the debate yesterday. Who did you vote for?"

Kagome smiled, and then laughed, "Naruto. I think he'd be very happy if he won"

Kakashi smiled back, once again slinging his arm over Kagome's shoulders as they walked down to the park.

Later on that Night…

"Tsunade-sama!" Shizune reported at the front desk, the village waiting behind her to see the results.

"What?" Tsunade waved her free hand around to signal her to continue, even though she was currently counting the votes.

"Orochimaru and Kabuto are nowhere to be found…" The apprentice bit her lip in relief.

"That's a good thing then"

The two both brightened up.

"Alright…" The Hokage let out a sigh of exhaustion. She faced the crowd, who were whispering to each other about the whole ordeal.

Standing up, Tsunade answered to the village, "Alright! Here are the rules to whoever wins! Listen up! If an emergency comes up, then I'll immediately take over, not to worry anybody. You'll have the title of Hokage for a day, and only a day. That is tomorrow. There are to be no major changes to the village unless it's beneficial, and…you'll have to do the paperwork" she ended smugly.

Shizune muttered under her breath, "I should've seen that coming"

"The winner is…" The Hokage took a last look at the voting box and then turned back to the awaiting crowd of villagers, "Naruto!"

There were some cheers, some groans and the crowd burst into a twisted applause and murmuring.

Naruto pumped his fist into the air, "YES! IN YOUR FACE SASUKE-TEME!"

Neji and Sasuke just scowled, while Sakura, Ino, Lee, and Gai drooped in disappointment.

"Nice try though guys, congratulations Naruto" Kagome greeted the parties at a more less-bustling place.

"Yes, I agree" Kakashi came up from behind her.

Wherever she went, it seemed that the copy-nin was also there.

"I think he deserved the title though. He always wanted to be a Hokage and strived for it, ne? So this would be just like a small experience for him. I think he's really getting hyped up about it" Kagome laughed.

Sasuke and Sakura nodded in understanding.

"I guess" Sakura sighed, "But he can be such an idiot sometimes. It makes me wonder, if he ever becomes Hokage, how is this village going to hold up with such a ramen-loving freak?"

Most of the people burst out laughing at this point of view.

"Yeah, I'd think so too"

"I have to leave the day after I get to see Naruto be Hokage…" Kagome sighed regretfully, "I'd love to stay longer, but some of my friends are waiting back home"

"You could at least try to enjoy the time left you have here then, right?" Ino offered.

"I guess you're right"

"Enjoy your YOUTH!" Lee cut in, grinning.

"Yes Lee, yes" Ino backed away from him, responding wryly.

Tomorrow would be a very…eventful…day…

Sorry for the late update… I have a cold. Ugh… Hope you liked the chapter, it took me a while to write too because I didn't know how I would fit everything in. Read and review onegai!

Sayonara,
