Drifting… always drifting… with land so near in sight, and keening so persuasively… yet to heed that call could mean death, and all this effort spent for naught.

It had not always been this way… there had been a time… a time so long ago… when she had lived there with the rest of them- well, not here per se, but- well. Once she had been able to run and walk and move the way the rest of them did. They didn't realize how lucky they were. Neither had she until it had all been taken away from her.

She supposed some would call her lucky now, as well. That to be here was a gift and a privilege few if any ever received. Those people didn't have broken hearts.

The rock was cold and hard, but it was unyielding, so she rested her weight upon it, and the water was only able to lap at her gently in the calm. Eyes bluer than the ocean looked toward the shore that stretched into the distance, and dove back down to hide her warm, salty tears.

Raye's pen tapped against the ring on her binder, in sync with the tic over her eye as yet another loud bang echoed through the temple.

"I said to be careful with that!"

"Gomen nesai!! I'll be more careful!"

"You better be! *a CRASH* *sigh* You're useless, Chad…"

"Will you two keep it DOWN out there?!" Raye shouted. "I'm trying to finish my homework!"

"Sorry, Raye-sama!!"

"Aw, go jump in a lake! We're busy! Why don't you go study with your girlfriends or something?" her grandfather poked his head in, sticking his tongue out.

"Get OUT!" Raye through a pillow at him, and he slid the door closed before it could hit him. She growled, feeling one hundred percent frazzled and looked back at her homework miserably. "I hate homework… isn't being a defender of justice enough?!" Just because she did the stuff didn't mean she had to like it.

As though on cue to answer her question, the telephone rang.

"Raye! For you! It's a booo~oooy!"

"What?! Is it that guy- Cheng- Xiang- Jin-" she could hear Chad blathering in the back.

She launched herself at the phone. "I've got it!!" She picked up and took a deep, cleansing breath to calm herself and put the phone to her ear. "Hello?" she dropped onto the bed, curling the cord around her fingers.

"Is this Hino Raye?" asked that goooorgeous voice…

"Why, y-"

"NO, she's not Hino Raye! You have the wrong number! Hang up, now!"

"CHAD!" Raye's eyes widened and murder filled her eyes. "You little- AAAAAAAARGH I'm going- Wufei, I'm really sorry, he's- Chad get off the line, NOW!"

"No! You're not Hino Raye, he got your name wrong! What kind of boyfriend is he, anyway?!"

"BAKA! He's Chi-"

Wufei's quiet cough over the line silenced them both. "My humble apologies, Chad-san, I was not aware that Hino Raye was an- insulting way to put it. You see, I am Chinese, and, as I was aware is also done throughout Japan, surnames are listed before given names."

Embarrassed silence from Chad's end of the line. Raye couldn't help smirking, and feeling a little proud of Wufei for handling it so well. Chad mumbled a hurried apology and quickly hung up. She let out a small sigh and smiled. "Thank you, Wufei. I'm really sorry, he can be a real ass sometimes…"

"It's not a problem," he chuckled softly, and the sound nearly made her melt. "You sound tired, how are you?"

"Oh, you know… homework…"

"Maybe I can help."

"Would you really?" she picked up her binder, heart singing with joy. He was nice, smart AND kind to her, plus he could deal with Chad and grandpa… What was not to like!?

Dinner had finished long ago, and they all helped to clean up the table, bringing their plates into the kitchen.

"Would you like help?" Quatre offered sweetly as Lita began to wash.

"Hm?" She looked up, a little surprised. "Oh- no- that's ok…"

"Yo, Q, we're gonna break out the cards! You wanna play?"

"Well, I…"

"I'll help," Trowa came up behind Quatre and looked Lita squarely in the eye. She paled.

"Oh-" Quatre was momentarily confused, able to sense something pass between them, but not what.

"Come on, or Duo will cheat," Heero steered the blond away.

"-I'm sorry, you think you're good at what game?" Mina raised an eyebrow at the boasting Duo.

"Spit, baby, it's my specialty!" he crowed.

"Ugh, well then please stop spitting when you talk!" she shot out.

The others laughed as they moved into the living room, Wufei peeling off to use the phone. They arranged themselves around the coffee table, Duo expertly shuffling the cards.

"Fine then- I challenge you to a game of Spit!" Mina pointed at him.

"I accept your challenge!" he cut the deck.

"No, no, no," Heero took both halves from him. "Quatre will deal." He handed the cards to the young Arabian, who looked surprised but began to deal.

"What!? Why?!" Duo blinked at him.

"Because Quatre is the only honest one here."

"I am offended by that!"

"Hn." Shrug. What the hell do I care?

"You're frustrating, Yuy."

"And you're about to lose the first round," he indicated Mina ready to turn her Spit Card, and settled back in his seat to enjoy this.

Duo scrambled back to the game and finished setting up. "On three?" She nodded.

"One- Two- Three- SPIT!"
