Memoirs of an Ember

Three hours later I had finally started to walk back, grant it, I was still pissed off. 'How dare he call me a baka onna!' I yelled furiously inside my head. I mean he doesn't even know me. I may be a teenager and a kid to him, but it gives him no right to call me that. Peyton and I have seen too much to be called that.

I glared harshly at the window as I saw Hiei sitting in it. After I called him a Teme he had disappeared to god knows where. I had stayed knowing that if I went back right away I would've killed the kid that was inside at the moment.

I know I hold grudges for a long time, but I can't help it. Sometimes I just get too riled up to calm down for a while. I turned my head away from him when I noticed him glaring back. I walked in the door keeping my head high and my temper down. That stupid brat was still here and of course, as soon as I walked in the door he started throwing little toy cars at me. I lost my cool when the fifth car hit my shoulder walking straight up to him I hit the pressure point at the back of his head. Once he was knocked out I heard a collection of relieved sighs behind me as I stomped to my room.

Once I got there I slammed my door shut and walked to my stereo and started blasting Headstrong by Trapt. I walked into my connected bathroom and turned on the water as hot as it could go. I stripped myself of my clothes and stepped into the shower hoping to calm down a bit before dinner.

An hour later I stepped out of my shower and dressing in some sweatpants and a tank top. My stereo was playing I Don't Care by Apotilicptic I opened my bathroom door to Peyton sitting on my bed with her head in her hands. "What happened?" I asked. She looked up with an extremely pissed off face. "Youko tried to seduce me," She replied in a cold, low tone. "Tch, Bastard," I said in the same voice. She quirked an eyebrow at me, "What's pissing you off?"

I glared at the wall as I sat next to Peyton on my bed, "Hiei called me a baka onna." I heard a snort from beside me and I whipped my head around to glare at Peyton. "That's it? That's all he did?" I looked away, "It bothers me when people insult me and they don't even know me," I paused for a second, "Anyway tell me exactly what happened."

Peyton sighed as she laid back on my bed, "Well about an hour and a half ago I was still sitting at the waterfall…"

Flashback-Peyton's POV

I was sitting in the clearing, next to the waterfall trying to meditate. I was for a while, but then I heard a rustle in the tree line. I jumped to my feet as I forced a tree to explode in the general direction the noise came from. I felt hot breathe on my neck as a voice spoke up, "Now that wasn't nice was it?" I screamed and jumped forward and spun around to come face to face with Youko.

I glared at him as my heart stopped racing, " Don't EVER do that again!" He chuckled at me as I let my hand drop to my side. I glared harder at him for a second before I forced my face to look calm.

"Now why would I do that?" He asked as his smug smirk started getting on my nerves. "Because I told you to," I replied.

Youko took a step closer to me forcing me to take a step back. His eyes took on a mischievous look and before I knew it he was right in front of me with his arm around my waist. I slammed my hands into his chest and tried to pull myself free, but before long I noticed it was useless.

I dropped my hands to my side again as I glared up at him, "Let go of me." He chuckled again as he used his free hand to softly rub my arm. Shivers ran down my spin making his smirk grow wider, "But I don't want to." What came next, he didn't expect. As he started to check me out I reared back my hand and punched him clear across the face.

The blow forced his head to turn to the side and his arm around my waist to lax. Once I ripped myself from his grasp I ran for my life back to the temple. I heard his growl from behind me as I broke through the brush into the clearing to the temple. I ran inside and straight into Embri's room before he could do anything to me. I called my breathing when I noticed her in the shower and sat on the bed to clear my head and wait for her to get out.

End Flashback- Embri's POV

I couldn't help the grin that spread across my face when she finished telling her story. She gave me a look as if I had two heads and one was a unicorn head. I busted out laughing at her look and said between fits of laughter, "You go girl!" She grinned all of a sudden and was soon joining me in our fit of laughter. I ended up falling off the bed holding my stomach because I was having trouble breathing from the laughing.

I noticed Peyton was in the same position when I looked up.

There was a knock on our door right before it burst open and in came charging Yusuke and Kuwabara. "It sounds like pigs are dying in here!" screamed Yusuke. It didn't help any because all Peyton and I did was nod our heads and kept laughing. "What's so funny?" asked Kuwabara. Peyton was able to shout out an, "I don't know!" Before falling off the other side of the bed.

After one more giggle from me it was silent for a second before we heard an, "Ow," from Peyton. I grinned and I sat up and got up off the floor to help Peyton up. Yusuke and Kuwabara left the room soon after. We stood there for a while until I said, "So…do you have any clue why he did that?"

"Nope. But it was random and weird." I busted out laughing again for a second before calming down.

Peyton and I walked out of my room and into the eating room when Genkai called for dinner. We walked calmly into the room seeing everyone sitting already. I made a face at Kuwabara and Yusuke by the way in which they ate; it was disgusting. We found empty seats next to Yukina and Genkai. I was sitting next to Yukina with Peyton sitting next to me and on her other side was Genkai.

I noticed Hiei and Youko were both very grouchy now. 'Hah! Serves them right!' I soon felt Hiei's glare on my face, but I tried to ignore it. It was giving me a weird feeling though. I started squirming in my seat as I started to get very uncomfortable with his stare. I looked at him with irritation and noticed he was smirking at me. I huffed and went back to eating and after a second he stopped looking at me.

Once I was done eating I stood up and went and washed my plate and the pots and pans. I walked back to my room and finished getting ready for bed. Then of course I went to bed.
