Day 05: Snowball Fight

The moment Yukio yelled "Battle stations"; they all knew what was coming. What's more, Tatsuya was already burning with rage upon seeing that his partner was taken from him, and then they ended up winning.

Oh yes, Tatsuya was going to exterminate the opposition alright.

"Wait!" Tanaka said, getting their attention.

"Not now Tanaka-san! They need to be killed!" Kazunari shouted.

The landlord chuckled at them. "How can you have a snowball fight without proper equipment?"

"Huh?" They gave him confused looks before they all took up shovels.

Alarmed, Tanaka screeched, "What did you plan on doing with shovels?!"

"Nothing much."

"But anyway, I was talking about snowball blasters. You can't have an epic fight without one." He grinned.

"So…where are they?"

"In the trunk―"

The boys didn't wait for him finish, but instead, they dashed to his car only find out that they couldn't open the trunk. But, it should've been obvious from the start.

"I tell you, you eight will be the death of me." Tanaka sighed in distress when he opened the trunk. Brand new blasters stared back at the boys, who maliciously grinned as each boy took one.

Tanaka knew that there would come day when they'd have a snowball fight given how hard the snow was falling the past week. So he decided to buy them these gifts to make the activity more fun.

But little did he know what he just stirred up.

The eight boys then scampered into position; Yukio, Kazunari, Tatsuya and Kotarou were on the left side of the yard, Kotarou and Tatsuya demolishing the snowmen in an effort to build a wall quickly, while Yukio and Kazunari were making the snowballs with frightening speed.

On the right side of the yard were Shouichi, Shuuzou, Shige and Tetsuya who were essentially doing the same thing like the other boys.

"How the hell are we going to take them down?!" Shige asked as he frantically made the wall. "I mean, they have Kazu and he sees everything!"

"There's no need to worry, as long as we plan accordingly we can ―!" But sadly, Shouichi didn't get to finish his sentence. A snowball landed in his face, making him fall backwards onto his back. The others were frightened at the sudden assault, they too had to duck and cover in case another snowball came their way.

"DIE!" Came Tatsuya's screech.

"To think we were suddenly attacked like this!" Shuuzou hissed. "They're going down!"

He looked up over the wall to see the other side clear. They're hiding too, huh? "Guys, let's think this through. We ―"

"We're going to get revenge alright." Shouichi said, propping himself up onto his elbows. His glasses were lopsided on his face. "That damn thing is so cold."

"So what do we do? Aim and fire and different intervals or something? Or lure them out?"

"Luring them out would be the ideal thing, but the problem is, how are we going to do it?" Tetsuya said, tapping his chin with an index.

Shouichi grinned. "Who's the fastest of us here?"

"Probably me." Shuuzou said, he sure knew it wasn't Tetsuya. "Or Shige perhaps."

"Hmm…if we could send someone out there to shoot at them, then we could get at least one of them to pop up. And if you can make it behind their wall and make them run out, then that'll be all the better."

Shuuzou made a devious grin. "I'll do it. I'll just weave around those snowballs like a defender on a court."

"Then…let's do this."

Meanwhile, the other team were grinning at their success. Tatsuya and Kazunari proved to be an efficient combination ―the latter using his hawk-eyes to pinpoint their opponents while the former takes the direction and aims. Kotarou made the snowballs as fast as he could dribble, while Yukio scanned their wall for a weakness.

"Since Shou got hit, they'll probably try to fortify their defences or they strike back at us." Yukio started. "And since Kazunari is on our team, they'll know that Tetsuya's misdirection isn't going to be of much help."

"That makes sense. But from which angle will they strike?" Kotarou asked.

"Probably both sides of their wall." Yukio replied. "If they think that we're anticipating snowballs from one side of their wall, then they'll "surprise" us with two people shooting at us from different directions."

"So, what do we do?"

"We can't continue to throw balls without aim." Tatsuya said. "We'll ―" he abruptly stopped when he peered over the wall and saw Shuuzou dashing towards their flank with his blaster in hand. "Shuuzou's coming! Shuuzou's coming!" he screeched.

"What?!" Kotarou and Kazunari looked as well as saw the raven-haired thundering towards them.

"I'll shoot him." Yukio calmly said. He poised his blaster on the wall and took aim. However, the moment he fired the snowball, Shuuzou, being the power forward that he is, ducked from it and continued on. "Back-up." The Blue Elite said, knowing full well what was happening. Being a point guard really paid off.

Once again, Yukio took aim but the instant Shuuzou dodged, Kotarou aimed as well. When the lightning dribbler fired a snowball, he dodged it yet again, but that was all within their plan. Kazunari shot at the raven-haired, hitting him squarely in the face; he staggered a bit, trying to get the ice out of his eyes. At that moment, the others showered him with snowballs; Shouichi, Shige and Tetsuya emerging from the wall and blasting away at them.

"Shit!" Tatsuya hissed as he was hit on his arm. Kazunari's line of sight saved him and Kotarou, Yukio barely missed it.

"Now!" Shouichi shouted as he jumped over the wall with Shige and Tetsuya following closely behind. They sprinted towards the others' wall, however, Shouichi was the only who shot snowballs. The blasters came with only three slots for the snowballs, so while they were out in the open, they had to be wise.

"These audacious bastards!" Yukio indignantly screeched. "Let's kill them!"

And thus, a nasty snowball battle between the eight started, Tanaka sitting on the front porch videoing it from start to finish. He was thankful that they were screaming on the top of their lungs so that the audio could be recorded on the video as well.

Tanaka didn't hide his grin. He was going to make this into a DVD, to make them see just how terrible they are. And maybe he'll burn a couple copies for Yukio and Kazunari's siblings as well.
