A/N: Well, I just randomly got this idea and began writing this, so please be nice if it doesn't turn out to be okay. In my story, Sasuke is still with Team 7. I know that I fantasise a bit too much, but come on! This is FANfiction. Anyway, I hope you enjoy reading this!

Disclaimer: I [tragically] do not own Naruto. It belongs to the great Masashi Kishimoto. I just own parts of the storyline. 'Ways to Charm a Kunoichi' does not belong completely to me. I copied '12 Fail-Safe Ways to Charm Witches' from the Internet and adapted it into 'Ways to Charm a Kunoichi'.

PROLOGUE

Lady Tsunade took a sip of sake as she turned a page of the Konoha Mission Record Book. She sighed as she read it. The page she had turned to showed the mission records of Hatake Kakashi.

Hatake Kakashi was a genius ninja. In his childhood, he was known as 'Konoha's Prodigy'. He was highly skilled and he always accomplished his missions flawlessly. Lady Tsunade was proud to have a ninja like him in the village.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door of her office. "Come in!" Lady Tsunade called. The wooden door swung open and Shizune, her attendant, secretary as well as a good friend, entered.

"What is it, Shizune?" Lady Tsunade asked. "Well, Tsunade-sama, I have just gotten a letter from Nara Shikaku. There is an 'Only for the Eyes of the Hokage' stamp on its envelope," Shizune answered, handing the letter to Lady Tsunade.

"Hmmm," Lady Tsunade said. "I'll take a look at it."

Shizune smiled and was about to exit the Hokage's office, when Lady Tsunade asked, "Shizune, have you ever thought of getting married?"

Shocked, Shizune whipped around. Marriage was generally a sensitive topic with Lady Tsunade, as she wasn't tied in wedlock herself. Once, Shizune had said the 'M-Word' in front of Lady Tsunade and she had to stay in bed for three days straight. However, on that particular day, extremely oddly, the Godaime had herself broached the subject!

Lady Tsunade smirked and said, "You should really think about settling down now."

Shizune stuttered, "Ts-Ts-Tsunade-s-sama..."

"It's about time you found a man, Shizune. For instance," Lady Tsunade said, looking down and tapping Kakashi's mission records with the knuckle of her right index finger. "Take Hatake Kakashi. He is strong, skilled, smart and overflowing with talent, not to mention handsome. Look at him, Shizune! He's perfect for you!"

"What are you talking about, Tsunade-sama?" Shizune asked, mortified.

"At least you stopped stammering," smiled Lady Tsunade. Shizune looked down, appearing to be very interested in the floor.

"Anyway, about you and Kakashi," continued Lady Tsunade. "I see no reason why he won't like you. You're kind-hearted, gentle, intelligent and reliable. And, Shizune, you have certain innocent comeliness to you that I am sure will make a shinobi like Kakashi go mad."

"Come on, Tsunade-sama! Kakashi-san and I are on completely different levels. There's no way that he will look twice at someone like me. Why will he like me when there are so many other kunoichi in Konoha who are much greater and more powerful than I am?"

Little did Shizune know, however, that she was totally wrong.

A/N: So...what do you think of my prologue? I hope it's okay. Please review to tell me what you feel about it. If you wish, you can PM me too. Constructive criticism and suggestions are more than welcome. The fun will start in the next few chapters. I really like Shizune and I think that she and Kakashi should definitely get together. Thanks a ton for taking the time to read this! Au revoir!
