Neji was a young brunette ninja with pale eyes a very light purple colour, his head protector covering his curse mark and his hair loosely tied around the tips. His clothing, baggy and his sandles in all honesty needed replacing, he had been in that many fights lately that he couldn't keep up himself.
He was walking back to the village with his overly obnoxious black haired sensei and seemed to only ever be hearing "oh how youthful" or "my eternal rival!" Why was he always like this, so annoying, so... Gai! It was hitting Neji's last straw. Just like his Lazy bo- EHEM I mean his most hateful friend, Shikamaru. Neji tried to ignore his overly obnoxious sensei and walked on being watched. Of course something like that wasn't anything this young ninja didn't see. But he was to low on his chakra to notice and carried on like it was nothing.
Gai would not shut up. Everything was about Kakashi, the pearl white haired sensei, and how he just wanted to beat him. Neji looked at the outrage on this mans face and sighed. "You know sensei its not hard" Neji said with irritation "if you want to beat him, look for his weaknesses, then play against them, you make it sound like he has none, everyone does" he said to shut him up "then maybe you won't need to bother him as much" he sighed again. "And he might actually enjoy competing with you"
Gai ignored most of the advise of course but yelled out "OH YOUTHFUL STUDENT OF MINE, THAT'S PERFECT!" Screaming at the top of his lungs "THANK YOU OH YOUTHFUL ONE!" Neji almost hit him for his annoying out bursts but thanks to his lazy, smart and sleepy friend he just about held back and went over to him. Somehow he was different.
His lazy friend was called Shikamaru. Shikamaru was also a brunette ninja, with dark brown eyes that almost looked black, he usually wore a mesh skin tight top under his uniform and his headband on his left arm, but not today, his headband wasnt there. His hair was up in a spikey ponytail. Like usual. People will often ask him how he gets it to stand like it does. He would only flash them a smile and walk on. Again this was usual so Shikamaru was used to it.
A sloppy smile appeared on the young boys lips as he then walked on. Each step looking like its going to be the step where he falls. Flat on his face. Neji half hoped to see it happen to the poor lazy ass when they were walking together. It would have probably made his day, something wasn't right with him though, had he changed something?
Neji couldn't have cared any less even if he wanted to. Not right then anyway. This sloppy young boy irritated Neji to the core, the first one to beat him without even moving, well much anyway, he didn't even have to concentrate! What the hell was he!? A freaking robot! God! It wasn't even fair, and he has the cheek to turn up every morning at the training ground! Its as if he wanted to piss Neji off! It didn't seem to bother Shikamaru. Then again nothing seemed to bother that genius if anything did it would have to be having to move.
Yet Neji couldn't get him of his mind.
Why was this irritating boy genius always there? Was he forced? Did he do it because he knew he wasn't wanted?
"How did your mission go?" Shikamaru calmly and lazily asked in an unusual tone. Neji only twiched an the sloppyness of the boy and sighed.
"Alright I guess" he tried not to sound irritated. Shikamaru wasn't an idiot though, not everyone believed this as he was just so lazy, so knew exactly why Neji was irritated. Just like every other person in the village he was irritated that a lazy, sleepy headded child was smarter than him, jealousy you see. Happens don't worry, happens ALL the time, even with Neji, however, he didn't understand what it was with this brunette, ponytailed boy got him so, so WORKED UP he didn't like Shikamaru around Ino and the girls he just couldn't figure out why.
Shikamaru only smirked. That smirk always plastered on his face was usually enough to make Neji shiver with excitement it wasn't unusual though it made everyone shiver. However, this was different, that annoying, lazy, rather sexy smirk always appears in his face, so why was this so different? It wasn't making him shiver as much as usual. Was he used to it?
The boy irritated him to no end! Yet he was strangely attracted to his charming ways. Usually but not today. Only Neji seemed to see these ways though and how they had changed from his usual sickly charm. He heard a slight chime from this young ninja as he was singing, he couldn't hear what he was singing but he heard the rhythm. Almost sounding like the cheesiest sex song ever, he didn't put it past the high ponytailed ninja. He tried to hear what was being chimed lazily.
"What are you singing?" He asked giving into his mind.
"To sexy" Shikamaru said and continued in his chime and walked with the now confused and suspicious Neji, poor guy, having to deal with this. As usual Shikamaru walked him to Tsunade-sama's office and left him there to walk himself home, probably to sleep or something. Neji and Shikamaru went their separate ways, as usual, and Shikamaru went to the forest. Going into it.
What? The forest? What was he doing there? Wait... He was already there? What was going on? How long had Shikamaru been there? Surely someone had noticed... Right? I mean no one can imitate this annoying young boy right?
Well... Someone had noticed, and that someone is the biggest prick Shikamaru knew... Bloody brilliant, although he didn't really irritate Shikamaru. Shikamaru still had his lazy, mind-numbing, good-for-nothing smirk covering his lips and that smug "you can't win this" look in his eyes as he sat there, the beaten boy couldn't move his body and could hardly breathe with all his cuts rubbing on the fabric and the tight rope hugging his frail body. All he could do was sit there, insulting his kidnapper by falling to sleep on him. Or her...
Shikamaru, rudely booted awake like every other time he fell asleep, he smirked, spat up blood and laughed at the pathetic man looking at him.
"WHAT'S SO FUNNY IDIOT?" The copy of him yelled only to be laughed at again
"I don't really think im the idiot here" he didn't bother to look up. He knew that someone knew what to do once he looked "that boy you walked with today will snuff you out and when he does you will be sorry, you see, he may not like me, but he's sure to hell not gonna like you" he continued "you just play stupid little pranks till you get what you want, pathetic little pranks no one needs, your worse than Naruto." He looked at the spat up blood and smirked "just a whole lot weaker" he laughed at him once again not looking at him "and you're screwed if Naruto comes, the only one that can beat me" only to be kicked again.
"You're rather cocky for a beat up runt aren't you? Just shut up already nobody likes a lazy bastard like you" the other man stupidly sniggered.
"Sh- Shikamaru?" A tone of worry popped in to the conversation, it was laughed at, Shikamaru had enough of this guy and finally lifted his head.
"Hey Neji, can you help me out?" this is the first time he asked for help off Neji that he remembered so it was surprising. Neji looked around and then at the other Shikamaru. Slightly confused as he sighs.
"Geez, if he got you like this how do you think I can face him?" He seemed to snarl at to tied up lazy boy. Shikamaru only grinned back to him
"what do you have at the minute that I don't?" Shikamaru grinned
"... My bya-" Neji was cut off
"no, you have freedom, now do whatever you want, you can go back if you like"
"I can't fight him Shika-ku... EHEM!... Shikamaru... How can I when he... You took you out?" Neji looked at the other Shikamaru "how long have you even been here?"
"About a week" he said after coughing up blood.
"A WEEK?!" A loud roar escaped Neji's lips, Shikamaru, now with added blood, grinned up to the stunned ninja
"that a problem?" Shikamaru said trying not to pass out
"AND NO ONE ELSE NOTICED?! GEEZ I LIVE WITH MORONS!" his roar echoed
"I would love a little help here Neji, I don't think I can stand the pain" the tied up boy slurred out of his painful lips. "its not like he's going anywhere just yet."
"you have got to be the biggest pain in the arse since Naruto" he joked
"is that even possible?" He joked back
Neji sighed and looked at the Shikamaru still standing "I guess your right, but I can't really get to you right now"
"do what you must ... Think I will just sleep" Shikamaru muttered as he slowly passed out. Neji sighed and got ready for the biggest fight he had ever done. Its not that it was hard really there was only one thing that was hard about it. one fact that Neji couldn't bring himself to over come.
He was fighting Shikamaru.
Well a Shikamaru look-a-like at least, there was no way he could really kill who ever it was. It was cheating. He had no intention to fight his fancy, he still didn't know about.
"Who are you trying to fool. You can't fight me" the ... Shikamaru laughed.
"You will get out of that form!" He growled "if I have to fight you I know who I am fighting not some stupid illusion! Or are you too scared to fight me on your own? Think you will lose?"
"Ha-ha! No way! I am winning if you like it or not. And im taking this brat with me."
"Not when I'm here you won't" what was he saying? "He stays with me." This wasn't like him at all! Damn it why does Shikamaru do this to him?
"Got a crush have we" his smirk almost looking like Shikamaru's "I could get used to this actually" he looked at Neji.
"You have his smirk wrong" he twitched "god you piss me off you're just trying to make people like you by being someone your not!" he twitched again... "I mean you can't even pull that lazy arse off! Geez!"
"You think you can do any better runt?"
"No not really I don't like him so I don't care..."
"That's not what your eyes say, boy."
Damn betrayed by his own eyes! "At least I have someone I can worry about and I'm not stooping in the shadows like some." he finally managed to say "this isn't over. I haven't won yet."
Ahh this wont end well. Not when Shikamaru was passed out at least. This had angered Neji, he didn't bother to ask why at that point he just planned on getting his passed out friend away from there and doing whatever it takes.
Neji faked a yawn as the Shikamaru moaned. "How dare you!" He yelled "you're just a spoilt brat!" This only pissed Neji off more.
"God your pathetic! You're to stupid to pull of shikamaru!" He looked at him "I will protect him and take him back to the village if it's the last thing I do." He gave a stern glare and sighed "and I'm not a spoilt brat."
