Now Neji has had some really lousy days in his life. The day he got his curse seal was pretty awful Neji thought that nothing could ever be worse. But he was wrong.
His next awful day was the day that he found out that the evil main house had killed his father. Now not only was he enslaved but he was alone. But at least he had power.
Then Naruto kicked his ass in the chuunin exam disproving everything that Neji had ever believed about fate.
While all these things are terrible there is one day in Neji's life that stands out as the absolute WORST.

After Neji's defeat of Kudomaru he had woken up in the hospital to find Gai and Shizune looking over him.
"How do you feel Neji?" asked Shizune
"It still hurts a bit but overall I feel alright. How did you fix the huge hole in my chest anyway?" Shizune's expression changed instantly. She went from looking concerned to looking almost embarrassed. Gai was currently trying to sneak towards the door and make a hasty escape. However Gai isn't that slick. Neji looked between the two suspiciously.
"What are you hiding from me?" Neji growled.
"Now Neji you must understand that there was no other way to save you." Said Gai.
"What's wrong with me?"
"Now promise you won't get upset." Said Shizune as she handed Neji a hand mirror.
"….."
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO MY HAIR?"
………………………………………….
Neji was now walking from the hospital back to his home. He was extremely angry about his precious hair. And even though Neji was usually extremely angry today he was even more so. Not only had his team failed in their mission but he had lost most of his silky luxurious hair. Luckily Konoha had a very good wig shop where he had been able to buy a wig that looked exactly like his old hair. The wig shop had the wig in stock because every single Hyuuga has the exact same hairstyle. But unfortunately for Neji he was not allowed to purchase the comfortable main house wig and was forced to take the inferior branch house wig which was really itchy.
"This day can't possibly get any worse." Said Neji.
"Neji-kun." Neji turned around to find Sakura and Ino facing him but there was something different about them. He didn't trust that gleam in their eyes.
"Neji-kun," Sakura began, "We both realize that Sasuke may be gone for good and that we should all go on with our lives."
"Sooo," said Ino as she and Sakura began inching closer to Neji, "Since we've lost Sasuke we need another angsty, crazy-eyed, orphaned, hot guy to chase after. So we had a meeting with the rest of the Sasuke fangirls and we decided that the obvious replacement was…."
"Was?" Neji asked nervously. Sakura and Ino were both about six inches from him.
"YOU!" shouted Ino as she jumped on Neji and embraced him.
"AGGGH, Ino-pig get off Neji-kun right now!"
"Make me forehead girl!"
"AGGGGGGGGGGGGGH!" screamed Neji as he ran into the safety of the Hyuuga compound leaving the two insane fangirls behind.
Ino and Sakura turned to each other and simultaneously said, "This is your fault."
