Memoirs of an Ember
I was sitting atop a cliff near Genkai's temple, you could see it as a little dot on the horizon, unlike me. My name is Embri Kinter, my mother and father were Americans, but they died when I was five in a car crash driving down the interstate causing me to go blind. My parent's next door neighbors were pregnant at the same time and ended up have their little girl, Peyton Hintin, four days before my mother had me. Peyton is about six inches taller than I am today. We are a little on the short side; I'm only four feet and eight inches tall making her five feet and two inches. Peyton and I were inseparable by the age of four so her parents only found it right to adopt me when my parents died.
About a year later though Peyton's father died of rabies, he was attacked by a raccoon, so we were forced to move to Japan so we were closer to Peyton's grandmother, Genkai, on her mother's side. We ended up spending a lot of time at Genkai's temple during our childhood. She would tell us all these amazing stories about demons, the spirit world, and anything imaginable. When we turned nine we stopped visiting as much, but we never stopped believing in the stories she told us. One day we heard Peyton's mother, Patty, and Genkai arguing over her not wanting us to be apart of the world she told us about. Back then we didn't know what she had meant by that, but we sure do now.
So until we were about fifteen years old we didn't have any contact with Genkai. To busy with school and getting jobs to help Patty pay the bills. About a month after we turned fifteen, Patty was walking home from the grocery store when a mugger had robbed and killed her. So only being the live relative we had Genkai became our guardian. Abut three weeks after that all of these weird things started to happen to Peyton and I. Because I was blind I had always had exceptional hearing allowing me to located people and anything that made a sound, but soon my hearing started to advance. It was almost like sonic hearing but with more detail. I could use the lightest of sounds bounce off every surface around me allowing me to create a detailed picture in my mind of everything and everyone around me. I didn't tell them of my ability for some reason though.
Peyton always had a temper and she knew it too. One day During the fourth week of being there we were sitting in the living room with Genkai when Peyton and I got into this heated argument over which type of ice-cream was best. Ice-cream along with chocolate milk are my "drugs" by the way. Anyway as I said we were in this argument not paying attention to everything around us when Peyton gave this almost battle cry like yell and swung her arm back and the would lazy-boy chair blew up! We both stood there in shock and "what the fuck" looks on our face. Genkai just raised her brow in slight suspicion, we didn't know of what though.
About three days after that happened we were sitting in the kitchen, it was a summer morning, eating breakfast. I had heard and "saw" a fly land on Genkai's pancakes she was about to take a bit out of the piece with the fly on it. Before that happened, I said very calmly…not really, "Don't eat that! It has a fly on it!" Genkai and Peyton looked at me funny and looked at the pancake and sure enough there was a fly. Peyton decided to blurt out the question on both their minds then, "But you're blind?" And that was when I spilled the beans about my ability I had somehow gained. Then two weeks after that Genkai decided that she would train us herself in our abilities.
Peyton and I developed our own style of fighting in the next three months as our powers evolved. I was able to now see every pinpoint in someone's body so I decided to train to attack the pressure points of people's bodies immobilizing, knocking out, and if I wanted killing them. I used my hands for close fighting and sharp deadly needles from far away. Peyton was now able to blow things up without squinting her eyes and could blow up large amounts of things at one time or if she wanted just one organ in someone's body. She also trained herself how to fight with Sais and became quit well at them.
Through out the whole time Genkai started explaining to us that the stories she told us, as kids were true and in more detail explain the three worlds and everything to do with them. In that third month a boy who looked about 18, Koenma, apparently the heir to the spirit world came to Genkai and us. He had asked us if Peyton and I would be willing to do a few missions for him every now and then and Peyton and I wanting to see the other worlds decided it sounded like fun. Genkai was hesitant about it, but agreed as long as they were nothing like the boys had to go though, whoever they were.
So here I am nine months sense Peyton and I became "Spirit Detectives". We have become even more powerful sense everything started to happen and we loved it. I found this cliff about five months ago and it's become my place when I needed quite, seeing as it was hard for me to do that now with my hearing nowadays. I laid back in the grass and closed my sightless eyes letting my ears flow over the landscape for miles around. That was when I heard the low call of a whistle. The three of us created a system of whistles meaning different thing for when I was farther away. That certain whistle meant that dinner was ready and I needed to head back. I jumped to my feet as I looked over the cliff to the demon infested forest and carefully ran my way back home avoiding demons that I didn't want to deal with at the moment. Peyton met me at the back door of the temple with a smirk on her face and her arms crossed as she leaned on one hip. I smirked back at her as we silently walked inside together side by side as usual.
(i hope everyone liked the story. please i beg, no flamers. i tired not making them mary-sues. they do have disadvantages and you will see that in the chapters to come. Note that this was in Embri's point of veiw and she believes her and Peyton are on top of the world, which isn't true. and she'll figure that out soon enough. also i noticed i forgot to put in what they look like so I'll do that next chapter. Please reveiw if you've read so i know how I'm doing.)
