Next chapter! And yes, I do know I update like crazy, but that should make you happy! Anyway I started putting in A LOT of hints towards the surprise. I won't be too shocked if you figure it out but I don't think you will. I think when it's revealed it'll be one of those "Why didn't I get that?" Kind-of moments. We all get those, right? Anyway, R&R and enjoy:

(The next morning. Twelve o clock. A/N: I guess that isn't exactly morning…)

"Has anyone seen Ember?" I asked as I walked into the main room of the temple.

"I believe she is still sleeping. Raimundo will you wake her up?" Master Fung asked. Sleeping? At twelve? She has good taste…

I made my way to the rooms and pulled back the curtain for the guest mat thing. Ember was sleeping peacefully. She was on her stomach with her head to the side. Her fiery hair looked as cool as ever. But what really amazed me was that she was sleeping clutching her bag as close to her as she possibly could. I mean we're talking death grip! I couldn't get it even if I tried. But I tried anyway…

I slowly made my way over to the bag. She was holding it close to her chest and I had to walk around the edge of the mat to get close. Did I really want to do this? Heck yes I did. I grabbed the top of the bag and slowly pulled. And then Ember woke up.

I don't think anyone else but me knows how scary it is to see someone bolt awake and have natural piercing red eyes glaring at you.

"Ember…Hey!" I said my voice shaking as I quickly jumped away from her. I was expecting her to kill me but her glare softened. Maybe she didn't notice…

"Hey." She said and yawned.

"It twelve o clock. You sleep later than I do." I said and chuckled.

"I usually don't get a lot of sleep. Despite this "bed" I slept well." She said and got up, the bag falling to her feet, which had been removed of their boots. However she slept in everything else, including the gloves. It must really burn someone if she touches them, because why else wear the gloves all the time?

So there we were. Standing in a tiny room all alone. A tiny room, alone, with a bed. Not a good position to be found in, if you know what I mean. So I left and made my way over to the dinning room. It was time for Lunch. Or in Ember's case breakfast.

"So…What do you do around here?" Ember said sitting down, a brush in hand. She had a slight case of bed head.

"We train and wait for shen gong wu to go active." Omi answered.

"Wait for what to go active?" She asked.

"Shen gong wu. I told you about them remember?" He asked.

"Um…" She said uneasily. Omi sighed and explained once more. And asked her to join the team again. She agreed, to my surprise.

"Rai, why don't you go explain all the wu we have to Ember?" Clay suggested. I nodded and led Ember to the vault.

--

"Okay so these are the golden tiger claws. And they let you-" I started explaining while holding them, but Ember grabbed the claw and interrupted.

"Is this REAL gold?" She asked examining it from where she sat. We were sitting on the vault stairs across from each other.

"I don't know. But they're pretty cool, it lets you transport yourself anywhere."

"Wow. So it's gold and magical?" She asked excited.

"Yeah…" I said nodding, her behavior was peculiar.

"Well show me more!" She said shoving the claws back.

"Okay." I said getting the next wu. "Alright this one is the lasso boa boa." I held it up.

"Is that real snake skin?" She asked excited.

"I don't know. I don't even think its snake skin. But I mean it does turn into a snake…"

"So you could just get the skin after it turns into a snake?" Ember asked eyeing it.

"I guess…But why would you want to?"

"For the snake skin duh!" The way she was acting was really starting to scare me. If only I had caught onto this whole disaster then…

"Alright so this is the orb of tor-" I started once again.

"Wow! This one is pretty!" She said grabbing it as usual. "These are sooo cool. So like how much do they averagely sell for?" She asked.

"Sell for?" I repeated.

"You know! When you sell them how much do you usually get?" She pressed on.

"Ember…We don't sell them." I said confused by her.

"Oh…You don't?" She asked once again.

"No. We fight with them. Weren't you listening to Omi?"

"How could anyone listen to that little chatter box?"

"Good point." I laughed and re-explained wu in a more interesting manner.

"Very cool." She said when I was done. "So what do YOU do around here?" She said stressing the "you" part. Did that mean she was interested in me?

"Well…I usually play pranks." I responded honestly.

"Oh cool! I love pranks!"

"Really?" I asked.

"Yup. My hobbies are pranks and guitar, although I'm not good at it. I mean good enough but I don't sound too great." She explained.

"What else are you good at?" I said trying to make conversation.

"Um…Well I'm sneaky and good at spying. And also I know French. I mean if I actually speak in no one knows what the hell I'm saying, but I can understand it if someone else speaks it. Make sense?"

"Yeah I guess." I said and there was a small awkward silence. "Well um we should probably go practice…" I said pointing to the door. Not my best conversation, but at least she stopped taking every wu and asking all those questions. How much do they sell for? Sneaking and spying…Why didn't I catch it then?

Yes Rai why didn't you catch it? Well for the people who know, this must be so annoying cause the just want her to spill it! And for those who don't know, it's getting exciting isn't it? Anyway review please!
