Are you still writing nature's first green is gold? I started reading it ages ago and always got so excited when a email popped up when there was a new chapter! Either way I want to say thank you for creating such a beautiful story that was so well written and amazing and yeah ❤ thank you!

Yes I am!  I was actually just talking to @foxphile tonight about editing/posting the next chapter.  I’m sorry it’s so sporadic; I just don’t want the quality and integrity of the fic to suffer by writing it when I’m in a poor state of mind, and unfortunately I’m in a poor state of mind fairly often.  But hopefully there will be more soon, glad you’re on the email list so you don’t miss it!  (And thank you, I’m so glad that you enjoy it!)

Betwixt and between

Q: Where am I when I’m “betwixt and between,” and how did I get there?

A: You’re neither here nor there. To answer the second part of your question, we’ll have to go back to Anglo-Saxon times.

When the individual words appeared in Old English (“betwixt” as betweox and “between” as betweonum), they were synonyms. And they still mean the same thing, though the old-fashioned “betwixt” now conveys an air of antiquity when used alone.

Both words are derived from prehistoric Germanic compounds—reconstructed as bi-twiska and bi-twihna—meaning “at the middle point of two,” according to the American Heritage Dictionary of Indo-European Roots.

The earliest example for “between” in the Oxford English Dictionary (with be and tweonum separated) is from Beowulf, an epic poem that may have been written as early as 725. We’ve expanded the citation to give readers a better sense of the Anglo-Saxon writing:

“ðær wæs Beowulfes mærðo mæned; monig oft gecwæð þætte suðne norð be sæm tweonum ofer eormengrund oþer nænig under swegles begong selra nære rondhæbbendra, rices wyrðra.”

(“There was the glory of Beowulf hailed; it was oft said by many that nowhere south or north between the two seas, nowhere over the whole sweep of earth under the boundless heavens, was there ever one worthier to bear a shield or rule a kingdom.”)

The earliest OED example for “betwixt” is more down to earth. It’s in an Anglo-Saxon land charter, dated 931, from the reign of King Æðelstan: “betweox ða twégen wegas burh ðone leá” (“the meadow betwixt the two roads of the town”).

It took hundreds of years for the two words to come together in the expression “betwixt and between,” which the OED defines as “in an intermediate or middling position; neither one thing nor the other.” Merriam-Webster Unabridged defines it as “in a midway position” or “neither one thing nor the other.”

The first Oxford citation for the expression, described as colloquial and dialectal, is from Newton Forst, an 1832 seafaring novel by Frederick Marryat: “[He] took the lease of a house in a betwixt and between fashionable street.”

We’ll end with an earlier example that we found in The Children of Thespis (1786), a satirical poem by Anthony Pasquin (pseudonym of the English writer John Williams):

So beckon’d by Hope, yet by Hope so oft cheated For ever contending, yet ever defeated; Too eccentric to make a sound mathematician; Too proud for attendance, too vain to beseech, Too poor to be happy, too candid to preach: Thus he swims in a strange indeterminate mean, Neither hallow’d nor damn’d, but betwixt and between.

Chapter VIII: Back to the Leaf, Sakura reaps the fruits of her labour

A bit of writers magic in this one. The only bigger canon divergence in the entire fic.

Spoilers!

Someone lives… maybe you already know who 🧐

Snippet under the cut 📖

Kaida walked next to him, admiring the nature and the miles of farmland shimmering with shades of autumn green, yellow and brown. Her thoughts ran freely, focusing on the pleasures of the journey, until a quiet giggle tore her from her reverie.

At first, the woman thought she had misheard, but she quickly realized that the sounds were being made by none other than the ninja walking next to her. The laughter muffled by the mask sounded more like the sounds of young students feeling infatuation for the first time, not a grown man who could kill an enemy in cold blood. At that thought, Kaida couldn't help but snort, which she tried with all her might, ineffectively though, to suppress.

Kakashi tore his gaze from the book he was reading and looked at the woman walking next to him judgmentally. Unfazed, he returned to his guilty pleasure and, still reading, addressed her with a playful grunt. "Is something funny there, little ryū?"

Kaida rolled her eyes at this attempt to get on her nerves and merely shrugged innocently. "I didn't know that the famous Leaf's Copy Ninja, Kakashi of the Sharingan, the future Rokudaime Hokage, could giggle like an excited teenager..."

A wide, victorious smile lit up the kunoichi's face when for a split second, Kakashi tensed all his muscles, and the first signs of embarrassment appeared above the edge of his mask. The next words leaving the man's mouth were excessively dry and dispassionate, as if he was trying his best to restrain himself from showing any emotion. "I do not giggle."

"Oh, you don't?" Kaida crossed her arms over her chest, unintentionally emphasizing their shape, which involuntarily caught the jōnin's attention. But before he could stop looking, her right hand went to her chin in a caricatured gesture of contemplation. Her eyes full of mischievous sparks. "So what do you call the sounds you make when you read how Junko is passionately kissing Arata?" At the sound of the drawn-out words, spoken in a hushed, sensual voice, Kakashi cleared his throat and swallowed louder than was natural. Kaida watched his every reaction closely. "The sounds you make when Arata sits in front of kneeling Junko, his legs spread wide, and her plump lips approach his hard, throbbing...”

“Kaida!” the man interrupted abruptly before she could finish describing one of the most spicy scenes from ‘Icha Icha Paradisu’. A red blush had already spread across the man's entire face, who at that moment was extremely grateful for the mask covering his face.

Seeing his reaction, the kunoichi tried to hold back a deep throaty laugh by putting her hand to her open mouth. In response, she only heard a groan of defeat. “Did I embarrass you, Kakashi?”

“Maa, not at all…” The man cleared his throat, trying to get rid of the emotions in his voice while putting on a mask of dispassion. He failed. Miserably. “You surprised me, I won't deny it.” Kakashi put his book in his pocket and adjusted his mask. “I thought you were more… prudish…”

“Prudish you say?” Kaida raised an eyebrow and looked at the jōnin walking next to him from head to toe. “Then you don't know much about me. I have to admit that ‘Icha Icha’ is one of the more vanilla books I've read.”

At this statement, Kakashi choked on his own saliva, which caused another wave of laughter from Hoshino, who took inexpressible pleasure in torturing her friend. “Are you sure we read the same book?”

Chapter IV: Farewell mission, Sakura continues to put her plan into motion

Next chapter is up!

There is a bit of Gai in there (it was his birthday yesterday after all 🎉) and Team 7 enters the chat!

Snippet under the cut 🫡

The man looked at the red, sweaty face of his opponent. Her hair was dishevelled, a glint in her eyes and a slightly outlined smile on her lips. They both knew that if this was a real fight, the winner would be the one who would last longer without air and not lose strength and consciousness. However, in these conditions, during sparring, with a nod of the head, both of them released their necks simultaneously.

For a moment, Kakashi looked down at the kunoichi beneath him, who was panting loudly but radiating contentment. After all, she had outwitted him several times during the fight and had been the first to cut off his air supply. Her hair was tangled around her face, emphasizing the flushed cheeks. He probably would have stared at her even longer, admiring her, if not for her soft, confused grunt that brought him back to reality.

"Could you get off of me?"

“Oh... Yes, of course...” Feeling a blush coming out on his face, he rose to his feet, nervously combed his hair and gave her a hand, which she accepted with silent thanks.

“Oh, what a beautiful display of youthful exuberance! True Springtime of Youth has arrived!” Gai rode up to the two shinobi, with a wide smile and straightened arms with his thumbs up. He would probably jump in the wheelchair with excitement if he could. “Kaida-chan, beautiful technique, you used your lightness as an advantage. My Eternal Rival has never landed on the ground as fast as today!”

Snippet under the cut ☺️

"What now, Kakashi-sensei?" This time Naruto joined the conversation, looking at the two adults, whose faces were shadowed by worry and anxiety.

"I can't hold out much longer... You have to be ready to leave the village at any moment, tomorrow at dawn at the latest." Kaida tried to sound firm, so that no one could question her opinion, but nervousness and fear could be heard in her voice.

"There's no way we're leaving you here alone, Kaida-san! Dattebayo!"

"I know Naruto, you're right. You can't leave me here..." Everyone, with varying degrees of surprise, looked at the woman, who unexpectedly agreed with the genin. "I'm too much of a danger. When the time comes, you will have to do what is necessary and end my suffering before I hurt someone...”

At these words, both Sakura and Naruto began to loudly oppose this idea, shouting at each other. The woman waited patiently, knowing that she would provoke such a reaction. As she also expected, Sasuke silently nodded, agreeing with her decision. Uchiha knew that if nothing could be done and the woman fell asleep, there was no turning back, and it would be better to end her suffering. This was not about lack of faith, but about protecting those who could be saved in case of failure.

Kakashi, on the other hand, calmly watched his charges. His face and eyes were unreadable. He only became active when the protests of the two shinobi began to threaten to break out into a mutiny within the team. "Naruto, Sakura, that's enough." He silenced the two, placing his hands on their shoulders. "For now, guessing won't help us at all. Let's focus on what solutions are still available.”

“For gods’ sake Kakashi!” Kaida raised her voice towards her friend. If anything, she was sure that the always pragmatic Kakashi would understand her decision.” There are no more solutions! And this is not about guessing. I don't want to lose myself. I don't want to hurt anyone. I don't want to go crazy!“ Kaida was filled with emotions, her voice shook more with every word she spoke, and uncontrollable tears gathered in her bloodshot eyes. No one present had seen her in such a state before. Although, unlike most shinobi, she had no problem showing emotions, and she was never ashamed of it, she was still a ninja, a former ANBU agent. Controlling this part of herself was the stuff of life for her, especially during missions. Especially when the situation got out of control. A shinobi who in a crisis could not focus on action, and instead let emotions block their reason, was a dead shinobi. Kaida knew that very well, she knew she should control herself like she usually did. But this time it was beyond her reach.

“I promise it won't come to that.” Kakashi tried to be calm, but he couldn't deny that his friend's mental state and the vision that they wouldn't be able to save her had a strong impact even on his composed person. His students noticed how normally hunched man was now standing straight, black irises fixed on the kunoichi's face, his general posture completely different.

“That's not the kind of promise I need!” Kaida aggressively wiped the tears flowing down her cheeks. “I ask for it to be you Kakashi..., for the sake of our relationship, for the sake of your students and the surviving residents. I want it to be you! I can't do this alone!” The kunoichi swallowed the choking tears and runny nose before finishing after a moment of silence. This time more calmly, although still with a trembling voice. “Either you promise me this, or I'll ask someone else.”

Hatake was silent. Her words echoed in his head, and at the same time they burned like a sharp, well-aimed slap. On the one hand, he understood, at least partly, how Kaida felt, but on the other, he couldn't bear the thought that tomorrow at dawn he would have to kill her. She wouldn't be the first friend to die at his hands, and although the silver-haired man knew that the kunoichi wasn't fully herself and wouldn't ask him to do it in any other situation, it still hurt him. However, the pain and the offence didn't matter. Kakashi knew well enough that the second person capable of doing what was asked, who the kunoichi had in mind, was Sasuke. And that would be the last thing he would agree to. Although Uchiha had never opted for killing, he was aware that if the situation required it, there was no other way out. He was ready to do what was necessary. The young shinobi wasn't surprised by Kaida's outburst. If he were in her place, he would want his suffering to end as quickly as possible. That's why, if it came down to it, he wouldn't hesitate like the older man did.

"Alright, when the time comes I'll do what needs to be done." Kakashi finally broke the tense silence, giving in to Hoshino's demands while looking like he had lost a significant battle with himself.

Chapter IV: Supernatural

And it’s up. Plot thickens, what they are going to do? 😱

The song that is in this chapter is a polish song (I translated the lyrics somewhat in the chapter) called “Cisza i Wiatr” by Artur Rojek. It’s a beautiful song, it was futured in polish version of animated Disney movie “Meet the Robinsons”. I highly encourage you to check it out even if you know shit about polish 😅

Snippet under the cut as usual ❤️

Naruto stood in the middle of the room. In front of him was an overturned cabinet, the contents of which had spilled and crushed onto the floor. There was broken glass and ceramics everywhere. The boy's face showed horror and sincere remorse for destroying Kaida's stimulating products and other medical supplies.

The woman quickly turned red with anger. Her hard work had just disappeared under the weight of the wood, and while most of the potions weren't worth the effort, she was mostly concerned about the only thing that allowed her to stay awake longer than was possible in her current condition.

"Baka! Do you know what you did, you stupid brat!" Kaida's voice was raised and sharp as a tanto blade. Under its weight, Naruto curled up even more, lowering his gaze. "Because of you, I lost the only thing that helps me!" In the blink of an eye, Hoshino completely lost control of herself. Her hand shot up. Chakra began to gather in her hand. Not the one designed for medical purposes. However, it didn't reach her target, it didn’t strike Naruto.

At the last moment, a strong grip on her wrist blocked her movements. Kakashi stood between his student and his friend, stopping her from delivering a powerful blow. His hand was firmly clenched on Kaida's hand, blocking any of her movements. His gaze was cold, and his dark eyes stared into her blue ones.

“Naruto, leave us alone.”

“But Kakashi-sensei...”

“Don't make me repeat myself.”

Under the influence of his teacher's stern and decisive voice, Naruto decided to leave the room without arguing, closing the door behind him.

Kakashi didn't take his eyes off the kunoichi, who was facing him with equal determination. She wasn't going to give up, anger still written on her face.

The jōnin had to admit that he had never seen Kaida like this. Always calm, composed and tender, now she was the complete opposite. Her eyes were bloodshot, her pupils dilated, and her breathing significantly accelerated. She was overcome with emotions that he had only seen in her once before. At that thought, his expression changed. The anger evaporated, leaving only disappointment and sorrow.

Kakashi slowly and gently released the woman's wrist from his grip. Then he tried with all his might to soften his features, knowing that his displeasure would not help the irritated Hoshino. "What happened, Kaida? What made you so angry that you wanted to strike Naruto?" Without beating around the bush, Kakashi presented the difficult truth straight to the woman's face. It had an effect, because in the next moment her attitude changed completely.

The kunoichi seemed to only now realize what she had almost done. Her facial expression softened and relaxed, and fear replaced anger. In the next moment, she looked at her hand, which was still covered in chakra. She quickly shook it as if she wanted to shake off the chakra from her hand, getting rid of the internal energy.

"I..." Kaida avoided the man's gaze. Embarrassment, shame and self-pity filled her entire being. "I'm sorry."

Although he knew that Kaida wouldn't apologise insincerely, he was very well aware that at the same time she wanted to end the unpleasant situation quickly, without going into details.

"Why did you do it?"

"I don't know... I was angry and..."

“I'm not talking about Naruto,” Kakashi interrupted calmly. “I mean the drug you took. Coca leaves, right?”

"Where do the fallen leaves lie?" Kaida's voice, although muffled by the wood, could be heard. Its timber was firm, yet clearly tired.

"Under the shadow of the Will of Fire," Hatake answered without hesitation, knowing that the question was meant to confirm his identity. This passphrase was one of the basic ways of recognizing shinobi from the Hidden Leaf Village and every ninja should be able to recite this formula even when awake in the middle of the night.

“Naruto, Sasuke-kun, what scroll did we get at the beginning of the second stage of the chūnin exam?” This time the question was asked by Sakura, who knew how to make sure that they were definitely her friends.

“Heaven.”

“Um... Earth...?”

They both answered at the same time.

Kakashi sighed audibly and pinched his nose, disbelieving that one of them had made a mistake in such an important question. Of course, their former sensei had no doubts as to which one of them it was.

If the jōnin thought that they had just wasted their chance to sleep in their own sleeping bags, he was very wrong. To the complete surprise of probably everyone except Sasuke, the door opened. Sakura smiled broadly at them at first, only to pale as soon as she saw all three of them covered in blood from head to toe. "Sasuke-kun was right, of course... And you, Naruto, didn't disappoint me... I don't know what I would have done if you had answered correctly!" Haruno smiled tensely, despite the alarming sight she saw, fully expecting such an answer from the scatterbrained blond.

"Can I help you, Kakashi-sensei, in any way?" This time, Ino joined the conversation.

"Ahh yes... I would like to buy... ummm... a bouquet of flowers." The jōnin rubbed the back of his neck. His eyes wandered around the shop, avoiding the intense gaze of the teenagers.

"I wouldn't expect otherwise, after all, we are in a flower shop," the blonde laughed, seeing the helplessness and embarrassment of this adult man, who had survived two wars, and at the same time had a problem with the simple act of buying flowers. "What flowers are you interested in?"

"Pretty ones...?" Hearing more giggles from the young women, Hatake couldn't stop the growing frustration that echoed in his voice. "Knowing flower types and arrangements is not a necessary skill for me, so if I could ask for advice..."

"Of course!” Ino could hardly stop giggling. “What occasion are these flowers for?” Seeing the incomprehension in her interlocutor's eyes, the girl clarified the question. “What is this bouquet supposed to mean, what message is it supposed to convey? It could be, for example, ‘Get well soon’, ‘All the best’, ‘I like you‘ or even I love you...”

“Thank you... and I'm sorry” Kakashi interrupted skilfully, feeling the heat rise to his cheeks before Yamanaka could finish the sentence. “It's supposed to convey gratitude...”

Chapter II: An unannounced guest and only good news

*pushing a second chapter towards you with a sheepish smile* 👋🏻

A little snippet under the cut:

“Yes, I know, kaa-san, I've heard this story a thousand times.”

“Oh, you did?”

“Yes! Every time I have came back from a mission. ‘And Kakashi this, and Kakashi that, maybe you could invite him to dinner?’” Kaida started to innocently mock her mother, to which she heard a deep laugh in response. “What?”

“Someone's jealous here!” Asami put her hand to her mouth to muffle her full, throaty laughter.

“I'm not jealous, kaa-san. I'm just stating the fact that you've always favoured Kakashi over your own and only daughter!” Kaida's arms crossed over her chest, but seeing how amused Asami was, the medic also started laughing at the exchange of words.

“It's hard not to favour such a young... strong... talented... handsome man...”

“OKAA-SAN!” Hoshino widened her eyes at her mother's slowly and precisely pronounced words, only to blush like a tomato a moment later.

“Oh, don't look at me like that! There's no better match in the village right now, and I'm worried about my beloved daughter. After all, I don't want you to be alone for the rest of your life.”
