Freezer Burn takes the win!

Weiss climbed onto her partner's shoulders once more, clamping her lithe thighs around Yang's neck as tight as she possibly could. Almost to the point of cutting off Yang's oxygen supply. But at the moment, she wasn't overly concerned with that. All she cared about was winning this.

Ahead of her, Weiss spotted her target. The little mess of red hair that had caused her so much soreness over the last hour. If she won this, Weiss would be sure to make her punishment an embarrassing one.

"Ready?" Ruby called out, her sickeningly sweet voice echoing around the pool room. "Go!"

As soon as the word left her mouth, both bases rushed forward, carving through the water with a speed that truly surprised Weiss, given how tired both of them surely were. It seemed they, also, just wanted to win, so that this could be over with.

When both teams met in the middle of the pool, it started with much the same as before. Ruby and Weiss pushing and grabbing at each other wherever they could reach, while Blake and Yang tried kicking each other's legs out from under them. It was only after a few seconds of this, though, when Weiss gently pinched one of Yang's ears, silently signaling to her that it was time for Weiss' plan.

Yang, once again, surged forward, managing to push past Ruby's flailing arms and Blake's targeted kicks. When they were close enough, both Weiss and Yang grabbed their respective opponents and pulled them close, engaging them in a kiss that lasted several seconds. During that time, both Ruby and Blake relaxed as the shock took over. The four of them temporarily becoming a mess of nudity, rubbing, kissing, and the like.

After those few seconds were up, Yang pulled back, separating the teams just enough to see the looks of surprise on Ruby and Blake's faces. The game all but forgotten, in their minds. Seizing the opportunity, Weiss and Yang each summoned all of their remaining strength to shove their opponents back, sending them tumbling into the pool with a rather sizeable splash.

"YES!" Weiss shouted from atop her golden steed, shoving both of her fists into the air as she started her own celebratory dance. It was around this time that Ruby surfaced, her expression much angrier now.

"What the Grimm was that?" she asked loudly, using one hand to wipe her hair back from her face.

"That was us winning," Yang responded cockily, moving over to the edge to allow Weiss off her shoulders, giving Yang some much needed relief. Once off of her, Weiss continued her celebration on the edge of the pool.

"By cheating," Blake commented, having also emerged from the pool looking rather perturbed.

"How the fuck was that cheating?" Yang asked. "We never said you couldn't kiss your opponents!"

"Yeah! 'Cuz we didn't think we had to!" Ruby retorted, finding Weiss' dancing rather annoying by this point.

"Whatever," Yang waved dismissively before holding one hand in the shape of an "L" on her forehead. "You're just pissed 'cuz you lost! And nobody likes a sore loser."

As much as they wanted to keep arguing, neither Ruby nor Blake could really come up with a good reason that that shouldn't count. In addition, both of them were quite tired after that full-body workout, and were ready to collapse into their beds for about a week.

"Fine," Ruby grumbled, weakly pulling herself up onto the edge of the pool and laying back onto the cool tile floor. "What's our punishment, then?"

At that, Weiss and Yang both looked at each other, confused. In all the excitement about the game itself, neither one of them had given any thought to a specific punishment they'd give the other team.

"We're not sure," Weiss admits, looking back and forth between the others. "We'll have to get back to you on that."

Ruby and Blake weren't happy about waiting to hear what they'd have to do. But, again, neither were really in the mood to argue any further.

After that, the nude huntresses made their way back to their dorm room. They didn't have access to any towels to dry off. Fortunately, though, the night wasn't so cold that they'd risk hypothermia by being both naked and soaked outside. In fact, they'd almost completely dried off by the time they got back to their room!

As expected, all four of them collapsed as soon as they got inside. Ruby didn't even have the strength to climb up onto her bunk, instead finding the floor to be a comfortable enough option for just one night.
