Kakashi thinks he's in for a nice break, free from students, after Naruto's recent departure with Jiraiya, but he hadn't counted on a beautiful stranger turning up in Konoha whom Tsunade thinks would become a powerful asset were she to be trained as ninja. Here begins a slow fascination Kakashi hadn't ever imagined...maybe he can forgive the loss of his extra reading time, after all... This story is dedicated to Amaterasu as she was a fan of this story way back at the time it was actually being written! Haha - thank you! I hope this story gives you as much joy to read it as it did for me to write it! ^-^
