Morning came quickly. You were up and about at 9am. Sleep was not in your favor last night, not after how turned on you were after Kakashi touched you the way he did. (...sigh) You carry on with your regular morning routine and wait for the boys to wake up. And what better way to wake up than with the smell of freshly baked bread and a miso eggplant stir fry.

The smell was so good Gai sat straight up on the couch sniffed the air and asked what is for breakfast. You giggled and described the delicious meal. He sprung from the couch and came around to the kitchen to check it out.

He comes in close behind you and sniffs again.
"Kakashi told me you have been cooking his meals for him. You think you could make some extra for me sometimes?"

You laugh.
"Of course Gai. It would be rude if I didn't."

"You're a sweetheart...think I could have a shower?"

You turn towards him.
"Of course! Please do! You still smell like the bottom of a pond."

He laughs loudly at you.
"Oh yes, we are keeping you." He replies and pats your head.

You smile wide and show him to the bathroom. Once he is settled, you decide to wake up Kakashi while the stirfry simmers.

You creep into the spare bedroom and see Kakashi sprawled out on the bed wearing just his boxers, mask and headband. (Drool)

Taking quiet steps so as not to startle the ninja you approach the bedside and sit down carefully next to him. He doesn't seem to notice your movements. He lays on his back with one arm tucked behind his head and the other resting over his stomach. He looks so handsome in the morning light. You lift your hand, your heart starting to pump faster, and drag delicate fingers starting from the top of his chest down to his rippling abs. Taking notes on every bump and curve they bear. He hums sweetly rousing from his sleep.

"Good morning, sensei." You say with melody to your voice.

He flutters his eyes open to look at you, still not all that coherent as he whispers something he shouldn't.
"So beautiful..." He says in a daze.

Wracking your brain at his compliment, you stare at him in shock. This is the first direct compliment he has said aside from pretty eyes to which you had forced him to say. It was obvious he wasn't all with it, for once he fully opened his eyes and really looked at you he realized his mistake. His eyes widen and he abruptly sits up looking around the room. He begins to panic.

"Shit...!What happened?! Did we?!"

You know exactly what he is thinking and it kills your self esteem in seconds.
"No... You're safe, don't worry. We didn't have sex or anything if that's what you mean..." You reply shamefully.

He huffs out a breath and collapses back into the bed. You tear your eyes away from him feeling stupid all of a sudden.

"Breakfast will be ready soon." You say with a bitterness you can't hold back and lean forward to get up but Kakashi quickly grabs your hand before you do.

"I didn't mean it to sound like that!." He says with a fearful expression.

"Yes you did." You reply and rise to your feet, swallowing your pain. You stop at the door while he curses himself.

"Gai is just finishing up his shower. You are more than welcome to have one too." You plaster a fake smile onto your face and head down stairs.

You can hear Kakashi whispering under his breath as you walk down the steps to the kitchen.

——————————————

Breakfast was served and both boys devoured everything as if it was their first meal despite their gruesome hangovers. Luckily you had a cure for that too. Something you have learned from traveling to so many places. It was the perfect mixture of fruits and vegetables combined with a super secret concoction of herbs that stabilizes your electrolytes and brings balance in your body.

They had chugged down two full glasses of it and felt ten times better.

Now, you sit at the table enjoying a cup of coffee listening to the two talk about their fishing escapade. You noticed Kakashi glancing at you far more than before. And sometimes you would catch him just plain staring. It was enough for Gai to notice. He would look between the two of you in those instances as if he was trying to figure out what was going on.
You played it all off like nothing was amiss, like Kakashi hadn't taken a stab at your ego upstairs in the spare room. Like he hadn't heavily reminded you of your boundaries at two in the morning.
(Just smile it will be ok..) you repeat in your head.

"Are we practicing jutsu today?" Gai asks.

"Yeah, I wouldn't miss it." Kakashi replies.

Gai turns to you.
"Are you ready to blow us away?"

"No pressure huh? Will you be there too?" You smirk.

Gai glances at Kakashi.
"Yeah Kash asked me to come help out. He said something about explosions."

"I don't mind at all. But you should both head home and change first. I have to return some books at the library. Maybe we can meet tonight?"

"I can make that work." Gai says.

"I'll be there." Kakashi says. "Meet us at the field I took you to before, at eight."

"Deal."
You stand and gather up the dishes. But Kakashi stops you.

"We will clean this up. You just relax."

You sit back down sipping on your coffee and watch the boys gather the dishes off the table. They work the kitchen as if they were married. Even tossing plates to each other and picking up where the other has left off. The kitchen and dining table was sparkling clean in minutes.

"We should head out now." Kakashi says turning to you, as Gai finishes drying the dishes.

"Right. I'll go get your vests." You spring to your feet and make your way down the hall to the laundry room with Kakashi following behind. Gai hangs back finishing up. You both walk into the room and immediately Kakashi grabs onto you. He holds your waist in both hands and pushes you up against the dryer.

"Are you ok?" He asks with deep concern.

Your brows furrow.
"Yes. Why?"

He shakes his head.
"Did something happen last night?"

You look away from him, feeling guilt over what did happen as minuscule as it was. It was obvious he couldn't remember. So you lie to him again feeling it deep down in your heart this time.
"No, nothing happened. It is very obvious you don't want it to."

He seems taken back by that last bit of honesty. His eyes try to find yours but you still look away, unable to face him. That is until he forces you to. He lifts your chin gently and your eyes meet his. You feel a tightness in your chest and your eyes begin to water. He stays like this for quite some time studying you before saying something.
"You have no idea what I want." He replies then releases you. "Thank you for taking care of us drunk old men." He says.

You clear your throat trying to gain back your composure and tease him habitually. Even though all you want to do is cry.
"Of course! I now have a plethora of black mail material."

He laughs.
"See you tonight, Hana."

You hand over their vests and head out to your front door to see them off. Gai gives you a crushing hug asking if you have a twin he could purchase and pouts when you tell him you don't.

And Kakashi says goodbye with your secret handshake and a wink. You watch them leave, arguing about something the entire way feeling even worse than before. But you can't let this ruin what you have with Kakashi. It will always be hard wanting something you can't have, it is just the way it is. So you plaster a smile on your face and repeat in your mind that there is no other place you would rather be.

——————————————————

7pm, you are getting ready for your late night jutsu session with the banter boys and couldn't be more excited. You made sure to read over your jutsu book before returning it to the library and even got to practice drawing chakra after lunch. You were ready to blow them away...(not literally).

The jutsu you had decided on is a wind release. This particular jutsu stuck out to you mostly because it combined cherry blossoms with it. Apparently this is hard, but with your affinity it seems to come naturally to you. After lunch you had to try it out. You drew chakra in just like you did while climbing trees but instead of pooling it into your feet, you pooled it into your hands. Almost immediately the chakra explodes into white wisps in your hands with tiny fluttering petals. The only downside to this practice was your location selection. (Your living room). That was a bad idea as the wind energy blew all sorts of things around your house. You had spent the rest of the day cleaning up the mess until it was time to get ready to go.

And now you walk the dark streets of the village to the front gates and beyond to the beautiful field Kakashi had first taken you too. Your attire for tonight? A traditional hanfu, white in color with red trim and silver embroidery. Most would think this is too formal. But while training with Bloodclaw, it was a must when practicing with the stone's power and jutsu was very similar. It just felt right. You hope sensei won't be bothering you too much about it.

As you walk through the gates you get a whiff of that smooth cool scent of your sensei. He is here. You can't see him right now but you know he is around. You smile to yourself and carry on towards the field in the distance.

The moon was bright and full tonight, tinting the landscape with blue hues. Flecks of shimmering silver glisten off the longer strands of grass and that same easy breeze floats through the air just like before. The energy was so uplifting here and beautiful you had to take your shoes off just to feel the earth beneath your feet. You hold your shoes in one hand and drag your fingertips with the other hand over the blades of grass. They tickle your senses giving you tiny pricks of energy as you brush along them. Humming all the way, you stop at the very place you and Kakashi had lunch and sit down.

You pull from your hanfu pocket a small bag of treats you had brought for both boys and set it down beside you then look out over the field.

Suddenly you feel a short tug on your hair to your right. You quickly turn to see what it is and that lovely smell enters your senses again. But there is nothing behind you. Another tug on your hair this time from your left. You whip around again to see only grass and the mountains in the distance.

"Sensei!" You call for him...silence. (He's toying with you)

You pull your braided hair to one side hanging onto it to keep his hands from tugging at it. Then the ribbons to the back of your hanfu suddenly release and the top half nearly falls off. You gasp and quickly hold onto the fabric falling loose from your shoulders and breasts. You are not wearing a bra under this.

"Kakashi Hatake! Quit trying to undress me!"

A loud chuckle echoes around you and you catch wind of a shadow flashing by. Just as your peripheral loses the shadow there is another tug at the elastic holding your braid and it snaps off. Your hair falls loose spilling over your shoulders breezing in the wind.

"If I catch you, you're going to regret it!" You threaten and sit up on your knees scanning the field. Another flash of a shadow whips by to your left followed by a tug on your silk waistband keeping the rest of the hanfu on. Your entire ensemble falls open and you squeak, scrambling to keep it all together while covering up your breasts. At this point you can only pray Gai doesn't show up to see this.

Your hanfu has fallen open and the only part still left clung to your body is the front which your arms have clutched covering up your indecency.

"You're in big trouble, Kakashi!"

Another rumble of laughter can be heard from behind you and suddenly in a puff of white smoke he appears in front of you. The smoke fades away revealing his deep beautiful eyes. He is crouched down in front of you resting his chin on his palm getting his fill of your indecent exposure.

You stare daggers at him and he smirks back at you.
"Bad boy!" You scold.

He chuckles again.
"You need to be much faster than that, Hana."

You scowl, he has no idea how fast you can be when you use your stones' power. He is just lucky you haven't tapped into it.

Challenging him, you huff and stand up straight letting the hanfu fall off parts of your body naturally. Kakashi's expression turns serious as he watches the fabric slip down one side of your hip and sweep open in the breeze revealing your red silk panties. And in two seconds you have charged your stone and disappeared whipping up the air in front of him.

He springs to his feet searching for you. In the time lapse you had created with the stones power you managed to tie up your hanfu again. You circle him just as he had done and watch him scramble to locate you. But you are too quick for him, even with his experienced eyes. In the meantime you bounce around him poking at certain parts of his body.

You tug on the back of his vest and he spins on his heel reaching out to grab you. But misses terribly. You laugh and spin around to his front. It was then you noticed his orange paperback peaking out from the front of his vest. (Snicker) You power up again even faster and snatch it from his vest then spin to his back and lean up against him letting go of your stones energy.

Nonchalantly you rest against him and begin to read out loud.
"It was a pleasure to see her flowing, sun lit-blonde hair. Her enticing, constellation-blue eyes gazed at me over her puffy, heart shaped lips. Her lips looked as if they tasted like strawberries, sweeter than a cup of sugar..."

You can hear Kakashi gasp as you read on. He pats himself down searching for his book then disappears in a puff of smoke and reappears looking down at you with disapproval.

"That is a private book! Hana!"

You ignore him and read on.

"Breasts the size of..."
"Oh my! kakashi."
You cover your mouth at the next paragraph trying to hold in your laughter.

"Hey! That's enough!" He says utterly embarrassed and tries to snatch it from you to which you spin underneath his grasp around to his backside again. You continue to read out loud.

"And thighs that could crush a man's heart with just one squeeze..."

You squeal at this book and how sexual it is. You knew it was lewdy but not to this extent...

"I think it's turning me on! It's no wonder you read this so much...Can I borrow this for tonight?" You snicker.

He growls at you and reaches for it again but you hold it behind your back, so he attempts snatches your body instead. But you are still too quick for him and duck under his grab then spin to his right still holding the book.

"Give it here!" He reaches his hand out with a firm expression. "Please."

You shake your head and giggle. To toy with him further you pretend to give it back and just as it touches his fingertips you reef it back into your grasp.

"Grrr...Hana! Come on!"

You shake your head again and stuff it down the front of your hanfu. With your size of breasts it is now lost in the pillowy softness of your cleavage. His eyes grow wide watching you place it there.

You clasp your hands around your back and taunt him further by pushing your breasts out and wiggling them.
"Come and get it."

"That's not fair!." He scowls.

Then a loud voice interrupts you two.
"Hello my friends! The party has just arrived." Gai appears beside you both, hands on his hips with a toothy grin. And in shock you stare at his outfit. For he too is wearing a hanfu for some strange reason, in a bright green color.

You burst out laughing at him.

Kakashi doesn't hesitate to comment.
"What did you two call each other beforehand?"

Gai looks you up and down and laughs loudly.
"Aha! It would seem you came dressed for the occasion, Hana. And Kakashi has not." He turns to Kakashi. "What were you thinking?"

"You won't get me in a dress." He says.

Gai laughs wholeheartedly.
"A hanfu is a traditional style of clothing! It is not a dress! Don't worry Hana, he's just jealous."

Kakshi scoffs. "It is a dress!"

You pipe up, siding with Gai.
"Oh he is soooo jealous. Hmmm if this were a contest of who can wear a dress better Gai would definitely be the winner."

Gai smiles proudly and does a twirl. "I know I can look good in anything."

(Kakashi sighs.)

"Alright, give me my book back and we can start our lesson... Now that everyone is here."

"What book?" Gai asks.

"Kakashi's sexy book." You reply.

Gai is beyond curious now.
"What sexy book? You have a sexy book?"

Kakashi runs a frustrated hand through his hair.
"It's not a sexy book, it's an Icha Icha book."

"Mmhmm! Full of dirty sexy scenes." You confirm.

A very frustrated Kakashi growls and storms towards you. You stand your ground ready for whatever he is going to do. So you thought, in two seconds he has you over his shoulder upside down shaking you until the book falls out of your top. Once it hits the ground he promptly sets you down and picks it up tucking it away out of sight.

"Ohhh that book. Yeah I've already read that one." Gai says brushing it off.

Kakashi curses under his breath and straightens his vest.
"Alright, Hana. I want to see what you can do. I know you've been studying your jutsu book. Have you made any progress on your own?" Kakashi says getting to the point of this meeting.

"Sure have! I've tried a wind release already." You smile proudly.

Kakashi hums.
"You've tried it?"

You nod and smile wide, lifting your chin.
"Yup! Tore apart my living room in the process."

Gai chuckles.
"Wind release isn't easy."

"Although I am happy you have tried it out, I would rather you practice jutsu in my presence. Just in case your stone gets the better of you." Kakashi replies.

That seemed fair. You did feel a slight pain in your chest after using the jutsu. Which means you're still not able to separate the two energies and you still don't have proper chakra balance.
"Alright sensei. "

He waves his hand to you.
"Let's see it."

You salute your sensei and back up into the field drawing chakra energy along the way. Immediately the energy began to pool into your chest just like you have taught yourself. You press your hands together in prayer and close your eyes concentrating on pushing the energy into your palms. But something was different this time around. The energy here was far less controlled and felt almost wild inside you. You carry on, doing as you have done before and begin the hand signs.

Half way through you feel a slight pain in your chest. You push through not wanting to disappoint your sensei. You were so excited to show him it would be very sad to stop here.

After the last hand sign was made and you poured the energy into your hands and opened them to the sky. You look up and notice a strange looking storm has gathered above you. The wind has picked up whipping around you while cherry blossoms colored in a blood red spill from your hands. Something was wrong, you could tell right away from the odd color of petals. This was far beyond what you had done in your home. The only explanation is that this valley must hold a stronger source of energy.

Suddenly lighting strikes above touching down on the ground setting a part of the field on fire behind you. Then chaos erupts in your chest, your stone begins to glow a bright blue and your body loses control. The cherry blossoms whip around you and turn on themselves attacking you. Petals slice through your skin like tiny knives drawing blood on all parts of your body. You fall to your knees through the pain and cry out. They prick and pierce every part of flesh they can. And you feel it, your stone defending your body as your jutsu attacks it. They battle each other in a storm of wind, lightning, and petals clashing with each other in a hurricane of power. It was completely out of your control and you had no idea how to stop it. All you can do is scream out in pain through it all.

Then a sudden shock wave of violet electricity scatters around you decimating every petal piercing your skin and the chaos falls silent. You sit shaking, covered in gashes and blood. You look down at your cut up body and see that your hanfu is torn to shreds. You cover up yourself as best you can, wincing at the pain.

In a panic your sensei and Gai rush to your side. You can hear them talking, but only in muffled voices as the stones power rings in your ears. Your body is completely torn apart from the outside and inside it is aching, your heart is beating so hard you can barely breathe. You have a pounding headache and your palms feel as if you set them on fire. You stare at the charred grass around you trying to remember how that happened. You didn't see any fire, maybe it was the electrical shock? What the hell happened? Where did you go wrong? Why is it you are so prone to inflicting pain?

In your bewildered state you feel yourself being lifted into strong arms. You can't tell which of them is holding you as your vision is starting to blur far worse than before. All you can do is rest your head against the shoulder you can feel and let go of trying to stay conscious through this. You are exhausted and in so much pain your body is shutting down.

Then that familiar darkness takes over your vision and you fall asleep. Once again you have fucked things up...
