Chapter 15 not-so easy day
(Opening Theme Ougon No Kagayaki)
Ashura with Gatomon, Kakashi and the digimon head to a whole new destination to start training Ashura for the grail competition
After the conversation with Agumon, Ashura asked Kakashi to help to use Kushinas place to train without her knowing
"Thanks for asking aunt Kushi to let me use this" Ashura thanks him as and Kakashi walk to Kushinas place
Her home is a big estate that looks similar to a traditional high class japanese house as they see it Gatomon whistles "wow... I can't believe someone in your family can afford all this" she said while Ashura retorts "what's that supposed to mean?"
Kakashi waves his hands "It's no problem but why didn't you ask her yourself or just go to the digital world to train"
"Because she might ask why and she may not be ready to learn about this...plus Gatomon said training in the real world would be a nice change...plus she said she didn't feel like it..." Ashura slumps but gets up "I'm just lucky aunt Kushi is the only person with an actual dojo" he says as the enter the dojo
Kakashi looks at the gatomon confused but she just avoids eue contact "Dont look at me like some creep" while Kakashi felt a bit offended although it makes sense as that sick mask doesn't help him at this situation
"Uhh when I told her that you were skipping class to do that she became..peeved and persistent to ask why." He said nervously "but after mention that you want to try ninja training once more she felt overjoyed"
Ashura doesnt seem suprised as shes usually like that from the day he met her "Yeah well I stopped because it reminded me so much of back then" Ashura answered
"Back then?"
"Before meeting you guys and the old man" he looks down to avoid looking at Kakashi as he answers
Kakashi realizes this and nods "well let's not stand here I told Gaomon to let Agumon know where we are" he says as the both go in the estate.
The both sit down at the dojo
It looks like a clean working area with wooden staffs and swords and a case of awards and medals of younger sports divisions obviously from Naruto's achievements
Ashura then hear some steps and sees agumon in walking in "you made it"
"Um I should say that as this is my family's property "
"I know so lets prepare" he makes his stance so Ashura grabs a wooden weapon
"I guess A weapon like that is okay so watch out" Agumon said
He rushs toward Ashura but Ashura uses the wooden weapon to push himself out of the air which led to a high jump so agumon jump and countered pushing him back as Ashura recovered and quickly landed on his feet but secretly threw a wooden stick the made the digimon reflect
"Okay that was good and after 30 more rounds that will be for today" Kakashi said
"Wait what?" They said
"You asked for my help this is how I help" Kakashi said "besides you've been neglecting your training and almost died several times for it"
"Training?"
"Oh right you probably didn't know yet my family is mostly made up of ninjas"
"Seriously?"
"Yup and it will be only a matter of time before Vermillion and the others find out" Ashura said 'mostly because Archer has the dirt about my heritage who knows when he might just blab it out' he thought as he takes out a second wooden blade in his hand 'I should hurry and pick up the pace' and says"let's get this over with" Ashura readys himself with a dual-bladed stance
After a long morning of trainindg and cutting school, Agumon now looks at a sweaty Ashura laid down with very damp clothing trying to catch his breath while holding his broken weapons
'I hope she won't be mad about breaking her equipment' Ashura thought still panting
'I wonder if kushina might get made over this whole mess he made' Kakashi thought in slight worry with a bored face as Gatomon now in her ruler form was observing the fight. She transformed because she wanted to wear kushinas clothes. As she is wearing a white shirt and green apron. Kakashi looks at agumon 'looks like he has is still full of energy, though I'm not surprised,to certain digimon, their stamina can be sufficiently high' he stands up and knows he's seen enough okay that's enough for today" Kakashi said to them"You were great" Saber said
"*pant* *pant* gr-great" Ashura said as he slowly gets up, "too bad gatomon might say otherwise" "Actually I'm actually seeing you take up some initiative" D'arcmon said which shocks them "your digimon servant gave you no mercy but you still gave it your all it made me almost made me forget who you were" she said
Ashuras felt shy with pink cheeks at the prise and goes "Ill go make us something to eat" he stands on his legs and goes slowly but he suddenly almost forgot a thought "Oh Agumon, may I ask a question?"
"Oh um okay?" Agumon looks confused
Ashura clears his dry throat so Kakashi stands up and poofs away then comes back with a pot of water "First things first, I bet you the two of you would like something to drink" he said as he hands Ashura the pot as they take turns to drinki
After that the two sit down as Ashura asks"We've been around for awhile now so I have to ask what brought you to the grail, why are you interested in the grail?"
Agumon raised his eyes for the response"wow...I actually wondered why you didn't say it before" he said as he rubs his claws "well can we just say that I need it?" Agumon asked nervously
Ashura wanted to ask more but just sighed and moved on to a different part of the topic "Fine, You don't have to say it but could you tell me what wish you want from the Grail?"
Saber looked up toward him "well it's kinda hard to say, let's just say that there hasn't Been a certain task I've done in my life"
"You mean back before the discovery of the Grail and your past life?" Ruler said
"Yes that's right" Agumon said as he poured more water to drink. While Ashura wonders what that might mean but..."well that's sounds like a simple method for a second there I thought you were planning to change the world in a crazy way, though that's what Fear Vermillion might do heh heh" Ashura jokes about his ally
"Now Ashura that's rude, Mavis Vermilion isn't the kind of person who would do that and you know it" D'arcmon said as she smiles at the joke
"Heh I know" he said as he wondered in his mind if she were to take over the world, she is super smart and munipulative "...she might though..." Ashura shudders and shakes that thought away and stands up as his energy returns "Welp I better get us stuff to eat but first..." He sniffs his clothes "I need a shower real bad." He walks to the bathroom
After a long shower and a new change of clothes, Ashura left the Uzumaki estate about half an hour ago and went to the market district at his town.
he asked Gabumon to lend him a ride in secret, since he doesn't have a bike... He spends an hour or two picking
certain groceries that don't hurt your arms during the long walk home "luckily I brought my backpack since Kakashi said It would be necessary." He shows off his backpack to prepare "Good thing I listened" he starts to put the bags in his bag carefully so the products won't break such as the eggs.
But suddenly he feels a tug on his sleeve and that made Ashura notice it and turns around "Hello how may I hellllppp... "He turns around and sees someone unexpected "WAAAH!" Ashura trips and falls on his behind
what he saw was a young shiny brunette colored girl wearing a kimono with yellow eyes with a friendly smile. But that's not the freaky part...
'Oh my GOSH! She looks exactly like Hikari Yagami from the old show!' Ashura thought "Oh I'm sorry to spoil your I am Éclairer EK" she said
Ashura was still shocked until he remembered something important 'EK?' "Wait you wouldn't happen to be related to..."
"To me" said a new voice interrupted Ashura "I see you met my little imouto"
Ashura turns around and sees Shandaar EK with a happy look holding a grocery bag too
'Oh man the kid who looks like Taichi Yagami is here too?!' Ashura sweats a bit
"incase you forget you I am mister, I am Shandaar EK, nice to meet you on non battle territory"
"Um you guys aren't going to attack me aren't you?" Ashura questions in a bit fear
"Huh? Why it's daytime people will see" Shandaar EK said
"Really I just figured I'd be a sitting duck here" Ashura replied
"Don't be silly" Éclairer said "Now pray we said our names could you tell us yours?"
"um okay, it's Ashura Hoshigami"
"Asia hoshi" Éclairer said wrong
"Ashura Hoshigami"
"Ash gami" Eclairer said wrong again
"Ashura Hoshigami" he said ticked
"Ashely hazel" Shandaar EK guessed wrong this time
"That's not even close it's Ashura Hoshigami"
"Asher home made?"
*sigh* "Look just call me Ashura to make things simple " he says as he starts to leave but for some reason they start to follow him 'Seriously' he thought 'like I didn't have enough to worry about' he just walks like there's nothing wrong "Sooo where's your Spirit" Ashura said
"Oh Berserker Onii chan left him home" Éclairer said
Shandaar EK just shrugged "I just don't think there's a need to right now"
"Look I'm still suprised why your here so...why are you here?"
"It's nothing serious" Shanadaar EK said as he grabbed his jacket
"It's to meet you of course" Éclairer said as she grabbed his arm too "Huh why?" Ashura starts to panic.
"Is it so wrong to visit with no intention for a death match" Éclairer said
"Wait are you kidding me your brother's servant nearly tore me in half!" Ashura tries to struggle but trips and accidentally pushes her off but he recovers and quickly catches herby the waist
"What was that for" Shandaar EK tripped "it would be wise not to make an enemy out of me" he said without getting angry Eclairer looks sad during the situation
Ashura looked at him "But I wasn't trying to how would you feel if..." he notices his shirt being gripped and looks at the girl in his arms "Do you really not want us around" she said without sad eyes but what shocks Ashura was the look in her eyes that look mysteriously odd like...something mystic? But he doesn't have time for it. Then he looks at a nearby shop
*sigh* "No I don't mind that the two of you just visit I was just shook up" he sets her back up and does the same for the boy "lets start over"
Lucky for him She gives him a smile "Sure lets take a walk somewhere" she said as she starts to take some skips while Shandaar EK looks calm "Consider yourself lucky, she's actually wanted me to see you for some time" he said as he follows her
Ashura uses this time to take a quick stop at the store he went and returns to their invitation for a walk
'How do I get myself into situations like this?' Ashura thought as he sits in the park at the park bench with shandaar EK while Éclairer plays around"So I take it that you make meetings with other servants?" He jokes
"Nope" the googles boy said "your the only master and civilian we spoke to since we came to this country"
"Oh so you got some issues about meeting the other contestants?""If if you consider being ambushed or killed a risk to ignore then yes It's hard to trust" he bluntly told Ashura"
"So how am I different?"
"Because you clearly weak right now and you obviously carry no killer intent"
"I don't If I should be flattered or insulted"
"Well what you should feel is grateful since it is rare for occasions like this to be possible" Shandaar EK said
'Grateful is an understatement' Ashura deadpans "So let me guess you want me to talk about my saber?"
But Êclairer stepped in the conversation "No I don't think so" she starts to balance on a sandlog "Stuff like that is sort of boring" she said but suddenly she almost fell again lucky for her Ashura caught her again "*whew* you should be more careful" Ashura said like an instinctive family member
"Sorry" she said as she made a cute face which made Ashura forget his worry "So with names like Shandaar EK and Éclairer they sound pretty unique and foreign""That's because they are foreign" Shandaar EK said "the clan we come from is in a hidden region between Asia and Europe at a remote land"
"Sounds quite exotic" Ashura comments
"Don't be fooled or envious." Éclairer looked down and got off him as she sat on the other side of the bench "It's actually pretty boring after so long and people never visit"She pouted "Yeah" her brother commented "On windy days its like a common sandstorm and on cold days , the snow gets kinda boring because its rarely ever leaves" he rubs his fingers"its also rare since our otou san rarely ever comes home" he said which gets Ashura's attention "Your fathers not at home much"
"It used to be all the time when I was 8 but after that he just up and went... I could barely remember him now"
Ashura notices that there home is a sad topic so he decides to switch it "so I noiticed that your guys hairs styles seem very unique" he looks to Shandaar Ek "and shiny" he says as he looks to Éclairer for that comment
"Really? I thought you would have brought up the eyes" the goggles wearing boy said "What about the eyes then?" Ashura asked
"Well I believe that our hair and eyes originated from our mothers side." He looks up as he starts to reminse about his past"
"Okaa san was very beautiful and I feel grateful about for eternal gifts upon myself and Onii san" Éclairer said "But enough about us what about you?"
"Okay what do you guys want to know?"
"Well what did you father pass down or give you?" Shandaar EK asked
Ashura realized that question and stops for a second...*pfft* he held in a laugh as such an unexpected question "Unlike you guys, My old dad never gave me squat, welp cept for this bandana rag on my head" he pointed at the object on his forehead
"But lucky for me my new old man came by and was there for me" be said to them while the two siblings got curious at this "When I met him, he was a mess and was often quiet and rude but he started to grow on me, he even took me to his daily walks in the city...heh heh though I wished he'd put that scary sign down" Ashura said as he as they got confused by it
"So you didn't inherit any skills from your father, are you not a master?" Éclairer questions Ashura "Nope I'm still a master, just one with no magic or special abilities...well except..."
"What?" Shanadaar EK asks
"I did develop this skill not to long ago" he thinks about his pixel based ability "Oh I jist remembered" Ashura picks out his bag and takes out a treat "My cousin Yami really likes this stuff it's called takoyaki" he passes one each for the two of them as they took a bite
"Yummy!"
"Delicious!"
"I see the two of you like..." he got interrupted as the two of them leaned on each of Ashura's shoulders. "You know sense your names may be cool but take long to pronounce how about I suggest some nicknames for you guys?" And they nod
"Cool So what do your names mean in this language?" And they move a bit and whisper and Ashura wides his eyes 'gosh another coincidence' he thought but now prepares to name them
"Okay Shandaar you can be called Taichi" and he looks to the sister "and Éclairer you can be called Hikari" Ashura suggests as they just lay and say nothing meaning there's no disagreement
He was suprised as Ashura just relaxed between them 'gosh I can't believe kids like this are affiliated with such a brute like Berserker.' He just looks at them and the just looks up and feels like he wants to sleep 'You know, I never knew what it would be like to have siblings... Sure there's cousin fish cake but I don't see the little guy as much. Heh he'd like them. Still...I kinda wish I had what they had'
Suddenly Shandaar EK heard a roar "Uh oh" he gets off and drags Éclairer with her seat "Something wrong?" Ashura said
"Berserker is awake he might get worried" Taichi said "I shouldn't get him riled up"
"It was nice meeting you Ashura" Hikari said as they left
"Wait" he but they were already out of sight then he suddenly remembered "Oh man I forgot to return to Kakashi and Saber!" He said as he picked up his bags and ran straight to his training grounds.
At a distant rooftop where the orange sun looks to be setting, two females stare down each other
"I question why you invited me to an empty schoolyard when the sun hasn't risen yet" Mavis questions her messenger
"My superior informed me that you could be a great asset to his cause as well as the gangster underworld" Yami said to her
"Hmmph so your the infamous master of rider and part of the mafia too?" She said in a less serious tone like she predicted such an event like this might occur
"With you on our side we could win the Grail and be a sufficient group"
vermillion looks less interested "Sounds limited since you and rider have been draining energy and mana from people"
"That was never my idea" Yami quickly said "it was the idea of my superior
"He sounds like fool with no regard for human life"
"So this means decline?" Yami questions
"Oh it's a definite decline" Mavis said without hesitation "With such gross methods as such, I'd rather work alone with zero chance of winning then to stoop that low" Mavis answered
"Very well" Yami walked away " May we meet again in the battlefield she uses her hair to move her way out of the building leaving Vermilion alone as she watches her leave "So that's Indian Boy's Cousin" she thinks about it and leads to this question "How is he related to her?"
