"Nice aiming Shin," Arielle shook her head and before she knew it, snow balls were flying everywhere. The poor Brazilian let out cries each time she was pelted, but she was having a great time none the less, especially when she got her hits in. She continued to form her snow balls and hurling them out at the guys.

"Alrighty then. We'll see who the weaker sex really is.." Arielle grinned hurling a snow ball towards Shin's nether regions and hurled another towards forehead. "Better choose which head to save, Shinny poo! Ha!" she laughed preparing more of the cold powdered ammo.

Shin turned. Simple as that. The snowballs impacted on his butt and the back of his head. “Neither!” He grinned victoriously, spinning back around to whip two snowballs at Arielle!

After that, he boosted to the right, scooping up more snow and forming it as he went. Gotta keep moving. Gotta keep moving. This was way intense.

“You know, you’re pretty good for an amateur.”

Tarin saw the look on Lee’s face and noticed as dropped to her knees in the snow that she was really packing those snowballs fast. Her words were intermittent compared to the speed at which she was suddenly lobbing snowballs in his and his comrade’s direction.

“That’s…*splat*…not….*thwack*….fair!” Tarin yelled as Lee continued to send snowballs in his direction, thoroughly nailing any areas of his body previously left untouched by the snow. It really wasn’t fair. It wasn’t like he could use his powers to his own advantage…and Lee’s speed and strength didn’t have anything to do with the fact that she was a woman. Tarin kept his mouth shut beyond his first admonition though. There were people around and Lee was still funny about everyone knowing her business. At least the other woman seemed fixated on the other man, otherwise Tarin might have been in trouble. As it was, he retaliated, scooping together the biggest snowball he could find and launching himself up at Lee, intending to drop it over her head.

The other woman was upping the ante with a few well aimed snowballs aimed at his teammate. Tarin watched with relief when the other guy managed to turn before he was a permanent soprano in the choir. This left him free to continue his offensive against Lee, hoping to carry his momentum into a gentle tackle. What better excuse was there to tumble to the ground with your wife, after all.

This war between the sexes, this snow battle, had turned pretty much back into what it had originally been: Lee versus Tarin, with the other two lobbing snowballs at each other nearby. And to be perfectly honest, that worked for Lee as she threw snowballs in quick succession at Tarin.

Who started complaining that 'that' wasn't fair. Slowing down, actually taking her time to pack the snowballs more normally now, Lee looked over at a pretty much snow covered Tarin with a playful grin on her face. "What's not fair, hon?" She asked, though she knew exactly what Tarin was talking about.

Before she could say anything else, Tarin had scooped up a large snowball, much bigger than any that had been thrown that day. In fact, it was so big, Lee was wondering how Tarin thought he was actually going to get it to fly all the way to her.

A curiosity that appeared answered a moment later as Tarin started toward her. Her eyes widening as she realized what Tarin must be planning, Lee threw the snowball she currently had in her hands, hoping to buy herself a bit of time; she was still kneeling in the snow from all those quick snowballs she had made. Scrambling backwards shaking her head, though with a slight smile on her face, Lee only just managed to regain her feet as Tarin reached her. And as the snow hit her head, immediately falling out of the ball it had been shaped into, small pieces falling down the collar of her jacket as Tarin's weight hit her. "Aaahhh!" She shrieked as she felt the cold meltiness on her skin.

Arielle was a bit upset the snowballs didn't hit their intended target, but at least they made impact to Shin's tush and the back of his head. It wasn't long before he recovered. He caught her off guard, hurling two snowballs at her and she was hit while in the process of making her own. She smiled watching Tarin tackle Lee and then a devious smirk on her face.

"Not a bad Idea," she said and ran full speed and launching herself, arms out in front of her to Superman Shin. "Haha!" she laughed flying through the air towards the asian.

“Um…” Shin shifted his body as she flew at him, moving to both catch her and bind her as she came in. He braced himself against the snow with an ‘oomph’ as she collided, funneling that pain into the back of his mind while his jujitsu training bubbled to the surface. Lock down the arms, knock out the legs, take the opponent to the ground.

It was basic grappling, really. Perfectly innocent too, as he pulled Arielle to the snowy mat, locking her in place. It all happened so fast. She’d been moving to knock him down, but now she was the one pinned. He looked down at her, unashamed.

“Oops?”

Tarin continued his momentum forward as he felt his body meet Lee's, soon enough they were both in the snow. Tarin grinned from his vantage point above Lee, 'pinning' her to the ground. They both knew Lee would have no problem getting away, but Tarin had a feeling she wouldn't out herself that easily.

Looking down at her with the snow melting in her hair, Tarin grinned, then leaned down and kissed her. "I'm starting to like this snowball fighting stuff." he said.

Lifting his head from Lee to look to the side, Tarin shook his head then laughed, "Look," he said, nodding in the others' direction. "They're following our lead. I am a hell of a role model...can't say I blame the young guy."

Tarin hadn't moved and wondered suddenly if Lee was getting cold, since she was the one pressed back into the snow. "Hmmm. I think I may need to move before people start to think this was more than an innocent tackle brought on by more than an innocent snowball fight."

First the snowball smashing against her head, bits of snow falling down the collar of her jacket and melting almost immediately, but then she found herself actually on the ground after Tarin had hit her. Hard enough that the wind was briefly knocked from her, but not hard enough that Lee wasn't smiling as she looked up at Tarin. Who was grinning before he leaned the rest of the way down to kiss her.

Then Tarin was looking to the side, and Lee followed his glance, laughing a moment later when she saw that apparently Shin had done the same thing that Tarin had just done, tackling the other woman in the snowball fight to the ground. "Now is that a good thing, or a bad thing?" Lee teased about Tarin's comment about his being a hell of a role model.

Tarin continued talking, and Lee cocked her head to the side slightly as she looked up at him. "Nope," she said after a moment. "Don't buy it for a minute that this was an 'innocent' tackle, hon."

Leaning up, Lee gave Tarin a kiss. Her left hand reached up to his hair as would be normal, her right hand closed around some snow beside her, then brought it up to grind into Tarin's hair.

Pulling back from the kiss, Lee grinned up at Tarin wickedly.

Arielle let out a high squeal as the tables had been turned on her. One second she was about to tackle Shin, the next minute, she found herself pinned under the asian in his grasps. "Whoa..." she blinked and it was the only word that came to mind after Shin's impressive retaliation. She struggled to get free, erupting in laughter at the same time, but Shin's hold wouldn't allow her to budge.

"Ok! Ok! You win!" she cried to Shin and admitted her defeat. "You are awesome."

"Ok! Ok! You win!" Arielle cried to Shin and admitted her defeat. "You are awesome."

Shin smirked and let her go. “Darn right, I am.” He rolled off her and sprung to his feet, offering her a hand up. He glanced over at Tarin and Lee, chuckling inwardly. Newlyweds. He shook his head, then glanced back at the girl he was offering his hand to.

“Say, do you want to continue this fight back at the mansion?” He grinned.

((And you can write us out of it, Arielle. If you'd so please. ))
