This story is an ShikaxOC fanfic! {all new and shiney!}

This is the preface to My Troublesome Woman, or MTW. This tells you about my own character, Kawachi Megumi, and is just to fill you in on the info. Thanks for reading!

Name - Kawachi Megumi (surname first. I'm not sure if this is right, but Megumi's name is pronounced meg-ooh-ME)

Age - Twelve

Birthday - December 5th

Height - 4"9. Yeah, she’s short. But I just had to make Shikamaru taller, because I like it that way.

Appearance - Her hair is a deep blue, and the eyes are too. Megumi’s hair is usually let out, coming down about her bellybutton. Her bangs cut off just above her eyes, which are big and give her an innocent look. Her hair is normally a bit messy.

Kekkei Genkai - Garusugan (I'm Pretty Sure This Translates To "Glass Eyes" So tell me if I'm wrong.) When using this Kekkei Genkai she can read minds and move things with her mind. Which is extremely useful when in battle. (Like reading the opponents next move, ne?) Megumi can also copy moves with the Garusugan. Though unlike the Sharingan, she doesn’t copy exactly like the original user used it; she changes it and makes it her own. Though this Kekkei Genkai can be powerful, Megumi doesn’t know how to control it, and sometimes it gets her into bad situations. Note: I'm calling it Garusugan because when she use it, her eyes sparkle. And calling it something like "sparkling eyes" sounds stupid.

Family - Megumi has never had any siblings, and her parents were killed on a simple mission the village hidden in the waves. The case was searched out, but didn’t find any evidence to support murder, so it was dropped. Megumi was seven at the time, and she was handed over to her godfather, Hiashi Hyuga, because there were no other records of family that were still alive. She lived with Hinata Hyuga and her family until she was eleven; she had decided, with the Hokage’s approval, that she was old enough to live in the house her parent’s had left behind. Megumi was well set off, because she inherited her entire family’s fortune. Even though she no longer lived in the Hyuga household, she remained close to the family, Hinata’s her best friend.

Attitude - Megumi is a reckless and energy-filled girl. She’s extremely sarcastic, and also unknowingly flirty. Her best friend is Hinata, who Megumi tries to get to be more open. She loves to laugh and talk. She blushes a lot, mostly because she’s flustered or in an awkward position. When faced with a difficult situation, she tends to lose her head. She also believes all men to be perverts, until proven otherwise. Megumi is very smart - more like genius smart - studying is what helped her get out of depression, and it’s what still helps her in difficult times. I’m pretty sure there’s a saying (or was it a commercial?) that says “Have an issue? Grab a tissue.” Well, Megumi grabs the books! Though she is smart, she doesn’t she isn’t too great at the crush/love stuff, and that’s okay for her because that stuff just gets in the way of training. Her ambition is to become a great ninja, which is what her parents had hoped for. Sometimes when she pushes herself too hard or when things get tough, she can be found sleeping or relaxing in random places such as trees or on hills. Megumi really has something about her that without trying, she’s comes across as graceful and pretty, she just doesn’t realize it because she’s always being oblivious.

Companion - When Megumi was younger, she liked to wander the Hyuga territory. One day, while playing tag with Hinata, she found a bear cub. Actually, it just looked like a bear cub, in reality she doesn’t know what it is, but it’s much smaller than a bear (Sort of like teddy bear size) and instead of normal bear ears, his are were pointed, like a cat’s. The poor thing was badly wounded and after calling to Hinata, they both brought it back to their house and Megumi cared for it after a course of three weeks. The creature never left (by the way, the bear-thing is a male). He has some magical powers too, and according to what she tells him he transforms. Example: Transformation One turns him into the size of a REAL bear. And Transformation Two turns him into a wolf; though no matter what transformation he does, he still has the same cat-like ears. She named him Zen, because of his calming nature and it sounded cool to her.

Shinobi Skills - Megumi’s main form of attacking is using ninjutsu. She can manipulate objects around her, so it’s very useful in most situations. When she fights with Zen, you wouldn’t want to be her opponent. She has a special connection to Zen, so they fight as if they were one. She uses her Kekkei Genkai when she wants to finish things off in a battle, or if things are getting really tough. She tries not to push herself to hard when using it, because if she does, it’s not good for her heath or the people around her (enter dramatic music here). She also get’s out of control, in a bad way. As I stated earlier Megumi is like genius smart. She tries very hard to be her best, and it shows on her scores. She was eligible to graduate from the academy when she was nine, but she refused because she wanted to finish her education properly and go from there. After talking to Iruka-sensei, he agreed not to tell Megumi’s classmates about her high scores. So, the class thinks Uchiha Sasuke has the top scores.

 Sorry the image of Kawachi Megumi is small, but I can't show you a larger version of her. Apparently I'm not supposed to post that stuff on dA, so I had to take it down. I guess if you were really dertimened to have a look at her, you could search google. =/

A/N: OKAY! MTW is BACK! -cheers-

 Okay, so now that this story is finally improved, I am no longer ashamed of it! (lol, I was for awhile) As some may have noticed, it is no longer a "you" story, it will be written in third-person. Also, the story line has drastically changed, and I'm happy with it!!

There are many improvements, changes, etc. I like this story so much more now, and I hope you guys will too! Keep in tune for more chapters to come!

(By the way, what do you think of the name Megumi? I thought it was really cute! And Kawachi sounded cool too. So I think I gunna be calling Megumi, Megu-chan!)
