Introduction

Nara Shikamaru

During high school, he fell head over heels over an older bosomed blonde, who was a transfer student. She was smart, ambitious and strong. She had a soft heart for her two brothers. In the end, she had to go back to her hometown, after her parent's settlement. She broke off the relationship, saying that long distance just doesn't work. He knew, deep inside, she saw him as a lazy, good-for-nothing boy. The next thing he did weren't chasing after her or working harder to become a better man. The next thing he did was to make a promise, never to date or fall in love with a woman. They are too troublesome.

He met the handsome, raven haired man when he was drifting in and out of classes in university. The riveting beauty did not pay much attention to the pony-tailed genius until a paintball session organized by a overly enthusiastic blue-eyed blonde. He was teamed with Choji, his childhood mate and a loud blonde girl with a haughty attitude. He managed the team with expertise and won the said 'war' without getting a single paintball on himself and his team. Whist the raven haired man, with his pink haired female medical student and blonde haired roommate was plastered with orange paintball. They dated. He thought he was in love. Until he detected that the solutions that he provided for the raven haired man, somehow lead to the downfall of one Uchiha Itachi. The raven haired man had then turned to the pony-tailed genius and broke-up their relationship, claiming that they just didn't fit. Deep inside, he knew that he was used as a tool for revenge. The next thing he did weren't finding out a way to avenge his broken heart by stealing the blue eyed blonde whom the raven haired man were pitching for. The next thing he did was swearing never to fall in love. Love is too troublesome.

That was until he met the graceful, pale eyed brunet with a fierily disposition. His outwardly chilling attitude, coupled with porcelain skin and a sharp calculating mind, was an unexpected interlude in his life. His life changed, perhaps for the better.

Hyuuga Neji

He was born into a rich, well to do family. It was a traditional family, with a head of the family, and a branch. He grew up in a well educated and civilized environment. Due to the general attitude of the family, he was trained to be indifferent. A sudden upraise lead by a distant family member of the Hyuuga lead to a total uproot of his steady life. Even though they were innocent, his family was kicked out. His cousin, a shy short haired girl with a kindly soul tried to help him. But his hatred for the main family clouded his judgment and broke off anything resembling a relationship with her.

His family moved from one place to another. His father tried to find work where ever he could, often as a labourer. His mother, who had always been sickly, picked up care-taking and housekeeping jobs. He himself quit school and worked where ever allowed an underage male to work. Slowly, his mother worked herself to death. His father, broken as he was, still swore to uphold the Hyuuga family motto and swore never to avenge. Being drilled with this philosophy, he suppressed all his emotions, remaining cold, but with a burning urge of hatred towards the head of Hyuuga. Slowly, his father faded under years of depression and passed away due to a stroke. His fragile soul snapped. He broke into the main house and attempted an assassination. He was unsuccessful and spent the rest of his teen-years and early twenties in rehabilitation, or in other words, juvenile jail. He came out a broken man. Learning from his jail mates, he stooped down to the seedy life of a host. He lived a life of accompanying rich older women or lonely gay men, with the help of alcohol. He shut off his emotions in order to survive.

That was until he met the witting, honey-brown eyed brunet with an honourable disposition. His outwardly lazy attitude, coupled with lightly tanned skin and an Intelligence Quotient of 200, was an unexpected interlude in his life. His life changed, perhaps for the better, too.
