In the Naruto world, where there aren't any cookies (Book 1 of The New Noblesse)

A little Holiday

"Nya~" I said as Naruto poked me. I was bored, he was bored, we were all bored. Everyone was at my house; all the rookies and even Konohamoru and his little friends. Jiraya wouldn't be coming to train Naruto until next week, and there was nothing to do. I sighed as Lucifer came over with my phone, which was ringing. I took it from him with a 'thank you' smile and answered.

"Yeah?" I asked. Only Akira would call me, after all, as he is the only one in this world with a cell phone. Putting it on speakerphone, I listened. "I'm bored. Entertain me." he said, and I sweatdropped.

''We all feel the same. What I wouldn't give for an Escape The Fate concert. Or maybe Evanescence. ANYTHING!" I whined, and he sighed.

"I know, dear one, I know. But, we could-holy shizz, you should make your own concert, then." he said, and I snorted.

"When you said 'Entertain me' I didn't think you meant 'make a complete fool of yourself so I can laugh about it', you know." I said, and he chuckled.

"Naw, I mean it. We've got nothing better to do, right?" he said, and I groaned.

"No. No, no, no...Akira, I know that tone. You're really serious about this, aren't you?" I asked, dreading the answer I knew I'd get.

"Of course." he said, and I sighed.

"Come down here and we'll talk. You're wasting your money on your phone." I said and I heard the creaking of bed springs and he ended the call. I sighed as I waited for him to come down, letting Naruto and Sasuke play some new game they downloaded.

Akira came down eventually and gave me a grin, and I groaned. That. That grin. It meant business. Dammit. T.T

"So, what do you guys think?" he asked, and they all looked at each other before back to him.

"About?" they prompted, and he shot me a look before telling them about his 'grand' idea. I rolled my eyes at how enthusiastic he was, and sunk deeper into my chair when they said it would be fun.

"Why? Why cruel world!?" I wailed to the sky-er...ceiling.

"You're really good, Kuroi-chan, really!" Naruto said. I smiled and ruffled his hair.

"Thanks, Naru-kun, but I'm not good enough to perform anywhere! I mean, where're we gonna get a stage, or lights, or..anything!" I said, and Akira grinned. Fuck.

"You know very well that if you wanted to make a freaking sonic screwdriver in this world that you'd figure out a way. And you, dear woman, are so gonna perform, because one, you're pretty damn good, and two, for my entertainment. Now run along, all of you. I'll make preparations." He said, imitating Mary Poppins for some reason, and I growled, but left with Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Ino, Chouji, Shikamaru, Kiba, Hinata, Shino, Kago, Lucifer, Gaara, Konohamoru, Udon and Moeegi with me. Geez, how didn't I notice so many people in my house?

Anywhore, Lucifer's been teaching Akira some magic-y stuff, so I imagine he's gonna be using some of it to do something to my house. He'd better make sure he can undo the do's when the time comes. Hmph. I was disrupted from my thoughts as Naruto called my name.

"Ne, Kuroi-chan, let's go have ramen!" he said, and I grinned.

"Comin'!" I said, and Sasuke snickered.

"That's what she said." he smirked, then looked mortified, and turned to me, and I fell to the floor laughing.

"Kuroi, this is your fault, you've filled me with your disgustingness! Take it out!" he said, and I howled with laughter.

''That's definitely not what she said!" I said between gasps, then bursting out into a new fit of giggles. Sakura went all Goliath on me, as did Ino, but, being me, I evaded their attacks, before going to join Naruto for ramen. I looked from him to Sasuke, then grinned slyly. Thankfully, only Lucifer and Kago noticed the smug and satisfied look on my face when I stuck my foot out infront of Sasuke and he literally fell on an unsuspecting Naruto. I gasped in fake shock.
