Neji sat as close to the fire as he could, shivering and sniffling. The snow on his jacket was already starting to melt, but he didn't feel any warmer. He glared at the poor logs in the fire. Tenten stood over him with her hands on her hips, ineffectively scolding him. "I told you not to train when it was 10 degrees Fahrenheit, and in the blizzard, and falling into a freaking lake. Why are you boys so stubborn? Now you've got me and Sakura taking care of you and Naruto, and..."
Neji tuned her out and focused on trying not to let the...stuff... in his nose leak out.Hence the sniffling.
"Denden," his nose was clogged, "I need de ditch- yous."
Tenten muttered distractedly. "Oh, well, fine, sure..." What she thought he said suddenly registered in her mind, and the true (very angry, very scary) nature showed through. All the Konohans could hear her shriek, "YOU'RE GOING TO DITCH ME? NEJI HYUGA, YOU BASTARD!" Neji winced and covered his ears. Konoha's weapons mistress stormed outside, muttering scarily to herself. Neji could only catch the words allergies, cats, and revenge.
What did I do? he wondered. And when did I say I wanted to ditch her...?

Tenten, in only her thin tanktop and pants, stormed to the other side of the large village, wrecking all the Christmas decorations Lee and Guy put up. She ran into Konohamaru, who had just completed his mission of 'Capture the Civilian's Cat That Has Run Away 1000000000000000 Times'. Tenten grabbed the black cat and rushed back to her apartment.
"Wait!" Konohamru, Moegi, and Udon shouted. "Tsumade-sama would be mad if we let it run off again!"
Tenten was so mad that even the mention of her idol wouldn't stop her. She barged into her apartment with cat, Konohamaru, Moegi, Udon, and random villagers following to see what the racket was about.
Neji looked up from the cabinet he was going through. "…Tenten? Whad are you doing wid a cat?" His nose was still clogged.
Smiling evilly, Tenten thrust the cat into his face. Surprised, he just stared at it. "If you're going to ditch me, I may as well have revenge."
"Bud… I'b allergic to cats…" Tenten just stared smugly "Exactly."
Naji's nose started to itch madly. A rash started developing on his cheeks. And then he sneezed a big disgusting sneeze that splattered all over Tenten and the onlookers. He looked up at Tenten. "I never said I wanted to ditch you, Tenten. I only wanted a tissue."
And then he was running from a mob of splattered people who wanted to kill him. At least my nose is cleared, he reflected, dodging around a very surprised (crying from the wrecked decorations) Lee.

Neji and Tenten were bedridden for the rest of the week. The Weapons Mistress got a cold from storming outside without a jacket. They made sure they had plenty of tissues, and sat through long lectures from Lee and Gai about the Power of Youth and Christmas decorations.
Moral: If you get a cold, make sure you have plenty of tissues.
