Chapter 4

(Passions Denied)

Jade rose early, made a light breakfast for her guest and retired to the yard. A huge boulder sat in its center. Carefully she climbed up on it and sat cross legged. Closing her eyes she tried desperately to lose her self in meditation.

No such luck, instead her mind whirled with the events of the previous evening. 'What the hell was I thinking opening myself up like that and to a complete stranger to boot. Thank god I managed to have the presents of mind not to tell him the entire truth. It simply wouldn't due to have anyone getting in the way of what I know must be done.' She thought darkly. Seeking to relax her mind and regain her focus she drew in several deepcleansing breaths. 'And what was that with the touching and feeling. Honestly I was behaving like a common whore, allowing myself to be lead by my libido.' She scolded herself for the passion the silver haired ninja had somehow stirred within her. She was ashamed of the hunger she felt to taste his lips, to feel his hands on her body, even for her desire for him to make her feel again. It only served to demean the memory of her loved ones.

She had failed them once and they had paid the ultimate price; she would not do so again. She would not allow her course to be set askew for the shake of mindless pleasure.

Pleasure that in truth she did not believe she deserved no matter how much her body wanted it.

She sat still for several more minutes trying to put the previous night's events from her mind, but despite all the self recrimination and inner rage she felt one thing still danced annoyingly in her thoughts. Kakashi had removed his mask in her presents and she had somehow failed to gain even a glimpse of what lay hidden beneath. A wave of bad temper rose up to meet the thought and she flew off the top of the boulder driving one small fist into the side of a nearby tree leaving a gaping hole in its trunk before falling to her knees and sobbing softly to herself. "What the hell is wrong with you Jade?' she wondered to herself. The answer didn't really matter she would not give in she would do what she must in the end.

When Kakashi finally decided to come out of the room he was all but hiding in he found his three trainees sitting at the very table he and Jade sat at the night before. A light fair of breakfast foods covered its top. Naruto and Sasuke each had a half full plate in front of them, while Sakura sat quietly nibbling on a piece of fruit.

"Yo" he offered by way of greeting causing Sakura to turn toward him her face lighting up slightly.

"Sensei, it is so good to see you. You are looking very well this morning."

'Right, I'm not feeling well.' He thought but opted to say something a little less sarcastic "Thank you Sakura, I am feeling well."

"Have something to eat." Naruto said waving enthusiastically at the table top "Jade's been taking good care of us while you were out. Believe it!!!" The boy finished shoving another bite into his mouth.

Kakashi just shook his head "Actually I really need to know a few things first."

"What?" the three students asked in unison.

"How long have we been here?"

"Three days." Sakura replied "After Jade pulled you from the river she and Sasuke brought us all back here and she took care of our injuries."

"Yeah I had a huge knot on my head and a dislocated shoulder." Naruto offered and rotated his arm around to emphasize his words. "But I was fine by the next morning."

Kakashi nodded that was a gift from the nine tailed fox within "If I hadn't hit my head I would have called up old chief toad to save us." He finished

"Right, who would have thought you hitting your head, could do any damage." Sasuke offered taking this all too easy pot shot at Naruto.

Naruto snorted "Crabby ass over there didn't even get hurt at all."

Sakura saw the fight coming and moved to head it off. "I hit my head pretty hard too when I hit the water. Felt really dizzy for a couple of days but Jade really was good at taking care of us… including you sensei." She said covertly letting her eyes study his face for his real reaction.

As such she didn't fail to notice the way her sensei flinched at the mere mention of Jade. Kakashi himself didn't miss the fact that the girl was watching his every move just a little too closely. 'Well Kakashi you have to give her points for being overly perceptive.' He nodded his understanding trying very hard to keep his expression neutral.

"Will we be leaving soon?" Sasuke' asked in his normally sullen voice.

"Not quite yet Sasuke… Let me speak with our hostess first. I should think we owe her a little repayment for her kindness. Don't you?"

"I suppose so." The boy said just because he knew that's what his sensei wanted to hear.

"Good, I'll see if there is anything we can do to help her out before we go. Um… does anyone know just where our hostess might be?" Kakashi asked.

Sakura smiled softly clearly amused by something. "She was out in the yard." She directed him. Secretly she wanted to sneak out and follow him but she knew she wasn't yet capable of sneaking up on him and never before had anything frustrated her more.

Kakashi walked out into the yard but didn't see anyone. Slowly he walked to the back of the house, but all he found there was a huge boulder covered in the soft glow of the early morning sun.

"Jade?" he called out her name.

She stood from where she had been kneeling on the opposite side of the boulder.

"Kakashi-San I hope you slept well." She said as she reached for a tunic that lay on the ground next to the boulder, pulling it on over the top of the light dressing gown she was wearing.

"Yes… yes thank you." He replied

There was what appeared to be an endless stretch of awkward silence before Jade finally

broke it. "Will you be going today?" she asked trying to keep her tone neutral which was amazingly hard since she was totally annoyed. Despite this mornings internal rant her inner self was praying the answer would be no.

"No… Sakura still isn't feeling up to it. That is if you don't mind." He lied praying that if Jade asked the girl she would go along with it.

"No of course not, stay as long as you like." She replied not looking him in the eyes.

He stepped closer "I was thinking that we owed you something for helping us out. Perhaps Naruto, Sasuke, and I could help you out with some things around here today. You know to thank you."

She stepped away. "No, that's okay I handle things around here pretty well on my own." She said.

"Please, Jade we… I need to do this." His tone held something she didn't really understand but she knuckled under to his wishes.

"Ok." She said and glanced sideways at the huge tree she had damaged just minutes before his arrival. "Something happened to this tree it needs to come out before it falls and damages something. Perhaps you could remove it for me." She said

"Of course, we'll take care of it after they are done with breakfast."

"Thank you." She said softly

As she walked past him toward the house one of her finger brushed against something in her pocket and she sighed. "Oh, right. I think this belongs to one of the boys. I found it by the river. It would probably be best if you returned it rather than me." She said handing him a slightly water damaged copy of Make Out Paradise. The bright red flush that rose to the shinobi' cheeks explained a lot of things in her mind.

It took him a few seconds to recover but he managed to stop her before she made it up the stairs to the back door.

"Jade." He said her name softly and she turned slowly really looking at him for the first time that morning.

"Yes."

"About last night… I'm sorry I didn't" he moved to her side close but not touching.

She cut off what he was about to say "Hush… it's wasn't your fault. I led you on… made you think that I was…" she paused as if searching for the right words. "That I could take you to my bed." She averted her eyes to the ground "Even if I wanted to I can not."

Kakashi moved to block her escape path and snatched one small hand with his own. "No… you did nothing of the sort. I wanted to comfort you… hell myself. Silly me I guess I've been reading to much of this stuff." He said waving the book he still held in one hand. "In any case I chose the wrong method with which to do it. I apologize."

"You have nothing to apologize for." She said and smiled up into his earnest face.

He leaned down bringing his face less than an inch from hers. "Yes I do… You see I still want to kiss you, to touch you. I can't seem to help myself." He said it fast before his normally abundant courage fled him.

She smiled now, her free hand reached up to caress his cheek, her fingertips trailing along the line of his scar. She moved up on tip toe bringing her lips against the soft fabric of his mask without actually kissing him. "I want to touch you too Kakashi-San but sometimes ones passion must be denied." With that she pulled her hand from his and quickly disappeared into the back door.

"Damn it." He whispered to the air.
