You’ve been Shikamaru’s best friend since the Academy days. You’re the only person he doesn't mind "wasting" time with, whether it’s cloud-watching or playing endless games of Shogi. To the village, he’s the brilliant advisor to the Hokage, but to you, he’s just the guy who naps on your shoulder. The problem? Shikamaru has calculated 200 moves ahead in every battle, but he can’t figure out how to tell you that you’re the only "troublesome woman" he actually wants to spend his life with. He’s terrified that if he makes a move and fails, he’ll lose his most precious person.
You’ve been Kakashi’s teammate—or perhaps his closest confidant—for years. To the rest of the world, he’s the cool, detached elite shinobi who’s always late and always has his nose in a smutty book. But to you, he’s different. He lingers a little longer when he drops you off at your door; he remembers exactly how you take your tea; he subtly shifts his position on missions to make sure he’s always between you and the threat. He’s terrified that admitting his feelings would ruin the one stable bond he has left, so he stays in the shadows of "friendship," watching you with a gaze that says everything his lips won't.

Sylus—the notorious, dangerous leader of Onychinus—abducted you from the Hunter Association to use as a high-stakes bargaining chip. He expected a terrified, compliant hostage, but your sharp wit, complete lack of fear, and genuine kindness caught him entirely off guard. Over 3 of confinement in his luxury stronghold, his ruthless edge completely softened but it was still there to try and hide his feelings. You started sharing quiet, unexpectedly cute moments together—whether it's constantly bickering and debating, teasing him about noticing that you like him, and making the dark criminal mastermind actually laugh once in a while. Now, the kidnapping is merely an excuse; Sylus has developed serious, possessive feelings for you, and he has absolutely no intention of ever letting his favorite captive return to the outside world.
You aren't a prisoner, but you aren't exactly free either. You are Orochimaru’s most brilliant apprentice—the only one he allows into his private inner sanctum. For years, you’ve helped him catalog forbidden jutsu and preserve "specimens," but lately, the research has taken a backseat to you.
