Kiretta stood at the edge of the island behind the hotel where none of the kids really cared to go. It's the last day of the trip and they'd be going back tomorrow and thus far she'd finished her written assignment, summoned and undead warrior, and on bonus witnessed a mind flayer Force someone unconscious. All she had left to do was call upon Undines power to manipulate water. Easy right? Yeah right.

Jing sat in his room sitting backwards in a chair looking out the window. "If it is the casino you think it is, then it could cause serious problems for this world,"

"Any idea as to how it got here, Jing?" Kir asked.

"Same way we did, I'd assume," Jing shrugged. "But I want to know why? What reason could the old pig have for come to this world?"

"Well Whatever he's doing we have to stop him," Kir said nodding slightly, then looked up at Jing when he didn't say anything. "Right, Jing?"

"Right. But first I want to know exactly what it is we're stopping," Jing glanced at Kir then back out the window, watching the Commander enter the forest behind the hotel in the same direction he saw Kiretta going earlier. "Tomorrow, right after school, we'll go down there and check it out," with that Jing stood up, went to grab his overcoat but decided not to, then went down to the beach.

Fifteen minutes have passed and she's made a decent amount of progress. At the moment we she was just focusing creating a small ball of water and, after learning from experience, keeping it about a foot away from her. Her goal. To keep the little water sphere intact for at least five minutes. This one had been floating there for four minutes, that is until she heard a sharp snap from the forest behind her and the poor little ball became part a sizable mud puddle that had slowly formed since she start.

Letting out a small sigh of disappointment she muttered the incitation yet again and gathered another ball of water from the vast sea that surrounded the island and held it about a foot away from her, so as to avoid getting wet if it failed like the first time. It hovered there for three minutes… four… five. Slowly and carefully she dare will the small sphere closer to her. As she held her hands in front of her and let the sphere float just between them, she smiled when it didn't explode on her like she expected it to.

But her moment of glory soon died.

She didn't hear him come out from behind the bushes, nor she notice when he stood directly behind her. "Kiretta,"

With a yelp of surprise her concentration was shattered and she found herself cursing the sphere she had once been so proud of as it exploded sending water every where, but mostly on her.

She spun around and came face to face with Satoshi Hiwatari and with yet another yelp of surprise she lost her balance and fell on her ass. Kiretta glared up at him and with the look he was giving her she just knew he was mentally laughing at her.

With her hair wet and the way she was glaring at him, Satoshi couldn't help but think she looked like an angry wet cat. When he offered his hand to help her up he half expected her to hit him. But instead she grabbed his hand and hauled herself up with almost enough force to make him fall.

"The hell are you doing here commander?" She said checking her pockets.

"Confirming my… suspicions,"

"And were your suspicions confirmed?" "Yes,"

"Good, cuz that leaves me free to do this," Then next thing he knew he was just as uncomfortable and wet as she was. "And that will teach you not to sneak up on me when I'm doing magic,"

He didn't respond. Instead he glared at her and concentrated on getting at much water out of his shirt as he could.

"You big cat," She said, heading off in the direction of the hotel.

He rolled his eyes and followed her, he still wanted to know what the damn fish thing was. When they got to Kiretta's room she's told Satoshi to "Wait here" Then promptly slammed the door in his face. Several moments later opened the door with a new significantly drier shirt. And over the past half hour or so Kiretta explained the mind flayer, the school, -just for fun- a few of the classes she took. She also used this time to vent her hatred for Derek by rambling at Satoshi about what an ass Derek was, sometimes talking far to fast for poor Satoshi to distinguish individual words. Of all the things he learned the one thing he was sure to remember was the fact the Derek is a "Swollen and oozing pimple on the ass of the earth," As it got latter Kiretta decided she wanted to get some rest in before the meteor shower. So with a quick good-bye… well, more like a quick "Get the hell out of my room," followed by a swift shove and a near fall on the ass, Satoshi was sent on his merry way.

Kiretta woke up feeling better and looked at her clock, the shower was going to start soon, she got up and fixed a few things in her room. Putting up discarded gems, putting papers in the proper books, that sort of thing. Just as she finished she heard a screech, like a frightened or dying Banshee.

"Kiretta! The meteor showers about to start!" She opened the door to see none other then Risa Harada. "C'mon. Riku and the boys are already at the beach waiting for us,"

"That's nice," Kiretta said, closing the door behind her as they started on their way out of the hotel.

"Miss Harada! Miss Kiretta!" They heard Daisuke call, and Kiretta winced when he said miss. "Over here!"

They were all seated at one of the picnic benches that over looked the beach. Risa went to sit between Takeshi and Riku and upon deciding she didn't want to sit near either of them Kiretta budged Jing over and wedge herself between him and the Commander. After several seconds she realized that Jing was taking up considerably less space and noticed the he wasn't wearing his overcoat, she'd never seen him without his overcoat and now believes she would have been happier, he was a very skinny boy. She also noticed that Daisuke was sitting abnormally close to Riku and blushing like hell, She then concluded that she didn't want to know and that she didn't care. Risa and Takeshi had somehow managed to get into an argument as to rather the "Mystery Thief" or "The great Phantom Dark, is the better thief and Riku tried and failed to insert sense into the argument but only succeeded in getting caught in the argument herself as poor, poor Daisuke tried to break it up. And blueberry… well he just sat there and tried to ignore it… all of it.

Jing looked up as the first Meteor sailed through the sky and all bickering ceased as the sky went alight with the bright, burning trails that the meteors left in the sky as well at the meteors themselves. Jing sat as calm as ever watching the sky, Satoshi spared a small glance at Kiretta, which she didn't notice, she was too busy watching, her mismatch eyes lighting up with very passing meteor, Riku and Daisuke scooted closer together, and for the first time since Kiretta had known them, Risa and Takeshi shut the hell up.
