Hiya! Ashura here, and it has come to my attention that there are some unanswered questions about me! For example, what do I look like? How did I meet Lambo? How did Lambo and I fall in love? When and how did I meet my brother? Well, you're all about to find out in "Ashura's Tell-all", so be sure to stick around!
I sat in Tsuna's kitchen, the Vongola and my brother scattered all around me in a lax group, "Say, we should hold a contest! I mean, most of you don't know me very well, so we should do this!"
Reborn answered for the group at large, "That's good idea. The loser will owe Ashura a favor, and the winner gets to ask her a favor,"
I smiled gladly, knowing that if Reborn agreed to something, no one would dare to go against it, "That sounds very reasonable,"
Dino spoke up and glared down all the guys in the room, "As long the request is within reason and is age appropriate,"
That said, the good doctor, Shamal, popped in through the open door and sat across from me, "For her? Sounds fun,"
I jumped up to start before my brother could start a fight, "Alright, the first challenge is the easiest! How would you best describe my appearance? Be sure to go into details!"
"Easy, you look like me, but a woman," Dino scoffed, thinking that was the obvious answer.
Everyone took the time to imagine that. I'm sure they just envisioned him, but with lipstick and a slightly different body shape. Moron, but I'm glad, because I didn't want him to win.
"Wrong," I pointed at him, "I give you one point for that horrible answer. Next?"
"You're an Italian female, I'd say about 5'7", dark green eyes exactly the same shape, size, and slant as your brother, blonde hair the same shade as Dino's, but that hangs 36", and I'd guess that you're about 115, 120 lbs. max," Gokudera went semi-scientific with his answer.
"Impressive, I think I'll give you ten points for that. I think that should clear this round, but I'll give people a chance to add anything if they want to," I knew that Shamal, the womanizer that he is, would win this round if he went, but I really wanted to get some well deserved compliments.
He grinned, "While acurate, young Hayato fails to describe your femine charm. Your sun-drenched skin gleams like fresh honey, your golden locks are like the ribbony rays of the sun, your devastating green eyes dim even the most precious of emeralds, and your body is the prefect blend of muscle and bone. You, my dear, are an earth angel, wasted on these children,"
"Oh, Dr. Shamal, you outdid yourself! Fifty points!" What can I say? I'm a sucker for flattery.
"Alright, now I'm going to ask my age of everyone. Twenty points maximum if you get it right, and you'll get bonus points if you get my birthday right. Oh, and for every year you're off, I'll subtract a point. So there's no cheating, everyone can just write down their answer," I know this question was pointless, but I asked it anyways.
Reading everyone's answers when they had all finished, I was proud to see that everyone said fifteen or sixteen. Well, Shamal said that I was the perfect age, so his was automatically voided, leaving him with the fifty points. Naturally Dino was the only person to get my birthday right, but amazingly, Gokudera wasn't too far off the mark. My date of birth was 12/16, but he guessed that it was 12/25. He even told me why he guessed that number.
His paper read, "I picked this date because you seem like a winter child, and because you're such a pain, it is one of the only days that makes sense,"
Jackass. I crinkled his paper when I read it, but I kept it as proof that wasn't being biased.
"Alright, the point total stands as thus; Shamal with fifty, Gokudera with thirty-four, Dino with twenty-five, and everyone else with twenty-four. I was in a generous mood," I shrugged.
"Ashura! Ashura! Lambo thinks you should ask something about Lambo!" Lambo shouted joyfully from his seat next to I-pin.
I smiled, "Alrighty then. Who remembers how I met Lambo? Twenty points for the first correct answer!"
"You two were partners," Hayato took his time answering, waiting about five seconds for another answer that did not come.
"Correct," I nodded.
Ah, now that brings back some memories that I didn't remember fully nor fondly. I hadn't thought about that time in a very long while.
"Ashura, come here my child, you needn't fear," An old man told me kindly, pulling me from the doorway of what would become my home into the main area.
I was shaking visibly, this being my first time seeing my house since I was an infant. Now, as a six-year-old, I looked around curiously, searching to see if there where any other children around, not that I wanted to play. Raised as an assassin, I had no need for such things as fun or friends.
"Ashura, my sweet child, I want you to meet your older brother, Dino. Dino, this is your little sister," He pushed me towards a boy whom I hadn't noticed at first.
"We're not blood, are we?" He asked the old man.
He chuckled, "Yes, you two are blood,"
Thirteen-year-old Dino didn't like me and the feeling was mutual. Six years past, and nothing changed between us. Luckily for me, I was still undergoing my training, so I was on the move all the time. Finally, just as the seventh year was beginning, I was trusted with my first partner for fieldwork. It was someone from another family, but I wasn't affiliated entirely with a single family yet, so my brother had control over my assignments. I didn't know it at the time, but my partner was only a baby. A baby named Lambo, from the Bovino family.
Lambo was the cutest baby I had ever seen! What with his immense Afro and cry-baby nature, you just couldn't help but to like him. Well, I couldn't. He was really funny, but not at all cut out for battle. I was, so I took care of all of our assignments with virtually no help from my partner. On one particularly dangerous job, my skills had permitted us the opportunity and my brother's workload had practically forced us to work these jobs, the Bovino family had given Lambo a gift. I honestly really don't know the details, but that's what Lambo told me. Anyways, the "gift" Lambo received was the ten-year bazooka.
I really don't remember the details after that point, but I know that Lambo used the bazooka, and it was love at first sight. He and I were madly in love, stopping in the middle of each battle to seek cover and talk. When we couldn't, I would "convince" him to use the bazooka when we had the free time after the fight.
I remember that during our first skirmish after he received the bazooka, I was badly injured, and we had to drop out of the fight. My brother, for the first time since the incident with my ex-fiance, showed major concern about my health and well being. After I was healed, months later, he tried to prevent me from returning to the field, but was unable to because of both my stubbornness and the lack of manpower. Once I came back home, it felt like Dino and I had just met for the first time, but we were suddenly much closer, almost on the same level as twins, but not quite there. I think it was the letters he sent me, trying to get me to come back home, but I'm not sure.
"Ashura-chan," Dino called to me to snap me out of my mental wanderings.
"Sorry. Where was I?" I looked around to see that everyone but Gokudera and Dino had left the room to watch something outside.
"Finishing this lame game," Gokudera pleaded hopefully.
I nodded, agreeing but disappointed by the turnout of the game, "Fine, seeing as everyone but you two are gone, I have no choice but to disqualify them. Dino-nii, I have no choice but to call you the loser, seeing as you have twenty-five points, and Gokudera, you have fifty-four points, meaning you win either way,"
"Remember-"
"I'm sure he remembers your warning Dino-nii. Don't worry, I won't give him anything he's not already getting. That came out wrong," I apologized to my over-protective brother.
Awesome, I owed a favor to my roommate, but on the plus side, my brother owed me one. Hah, idget. No, it wouldn't be too bad. Actually, I think I should save my favor for something mildly bad, or for something I really wanted. Yeah, but I wonder what Gokudera will ask me for? Knowing him, probably nothing, or at least nothing I'll like.
So end's Ashura's Tell-All! If there is anything that was failed to be told, or someone has any new questions, do not hesitate to ask! Ashura, out.
Yeah, what she said is true. If there were any unanswered questions or any new questions, ask me. Oh, and before anyone starts to worry, I'll go into more detail about Lambo and Ashura later in the story. It's not my style to namedrop, but I do give nameless honorable mention. So, thank you again reviewer, this chapter would not have happened if not for the request! Oh, and when I said I was on episode 83, I was wrong, it was really episode 89. My bad. I can't help it if my memory isn't that great. Anyways, now I'm on 93, I think. Don't hold me to it this time, please. Oh, and thanks for the reviews, I hope they keep on coming!
