I don't mind asking! It wouldn't be an easy thing to follow even if you have more time and attention, honestly. I'm starting to feel like I ought to essay about it, but I'm not even really sure how that would go.
I wish I logged my threads now, but I am too unfortunately lazy.
Anyway, from Neji's side, I would say that he's not really sure what their current status is either. They're not really friends, and Itachi's hurt him a great deal, especially by leaving the way he did when he feels like he never really tried to fix their (committed, romantic) relationship after he asked Neji to take him back earlier this year. At the same time, he's still in love with Itachi and attracted to Itachi. And he cares about him, which might be the most important part of that, because it makes it very difficult to push him out of his life entirely. Neji's asked Itachi to go with him if they have vacation outside of camp this year, and is hoping they can sort things out then, at least a little bit. They have a thread here where they're talking about things. From Itachi's side, he broke things off with Neji because he needs to sort out his own emotions, and didn't think it was fair to maintain a relationship with him when he wasn't sure what he felt or wanted. I don't know if you asked Itachi too, but I'll link her to this, I think, so she can add to that if she wants.
Itachi had made out with Raph. There were also complications after last year's vacation because Sasuke became an active enemy of Konoha. Shikamaru is involved somewhat, because his attraction to Itachi has made him interested--which Neji doesn't appreciate, but the punching was actually related to another plot where Hatter possessed him, Itachi found out, told Neji, and Shikamaru wasn't pleased with having Itachi tell Neji before he did. There has definitely been a lot of awkward miscommunication, both before and after the breakup, which has contributed to the situation.
So. I think. You're actually more on top of things than you realized?

Raphael partly cleansed him, but couldn't entirely, so Hatter still has a degree of control over him. Angels were pissed. Hatter was amused.
