My first attempt on writing a fanfic. In fact, it's my first time to write anything. I appologize if it isn't that good. I'm a newbie so please, no flames. Suggestions on helping me write better is greatly appreciated. I watched lots of war movies and researched the internet to help me write this.
Disclaimer: I don't own Sakura Taisen and it's characters. The story is mine and some characters are mine. :)
Prologue
The war is over. The Hanagumi are having a normal life except for the plays, which are continually being held in the TeiGeki. Yoneda-shihainin was getting drunk with his favorite bottle of sake while Ayame was doing some paperwork. Kasumi, Yuri and Tsubaki continue helping with the plays, Kanna and Sumire are still having fights, Maria, as usual, polishes her revolver and does some target practice, Iris plays with her stuff toys especially Jean-Paul, Kohran buries her mind in new inventions and always enhance the Kobus even if they're not needed...yet.
Oogami Ichiro or should I say, Shinguuji Ichiro is currently engaged to Sakura and they are living in an apartment in Teito which is not that far from the Teigeki. They had to stay near the Teigeki in case they're needed.
Everything is what they all have been dreaming for. Peace. They fought for it, they risked their lives for it, now, they got it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 1: A new beginning
It was a warm, sunny afternoon in Teito. Sakura was in the balcony in their apartment, sitting in a wooden chair. The warm breeze of March brushing her face.
The view was remarkable. She sighed. "At last, everything we all longed for." Teito has grown in peace and prosperity. Steam was seen almost everywhere you look. Suddenly, a pair of arms wrapped around her neck in a comforting way. She wasn't startled for she knew it was just Ichiro. "Wonderful view, isn't it?" Ichiro, staring out at the city replied, "Yeah, it sure is."
Sakura smiled and she began to rest her head on Ichiro's arm.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the Teigeki, Kanna is cooking lunch, happily humming to herself while Sumire is complaining about how the stage looks like. "No way! The audience can't see the top star's magnificent act with that rock there!" Sumire kicks the rock which apparently, is a prop for their next play. Luckily, it didn't break.
"But that is where Iris is supposed to hide when Kanna is chasing her!" answers a frightened Tsubaki.
"I don't care! Take that rock someplace else! The play will still be a hit as long as the Teigeki top star is here."
"But-bu-but..."
"No buts! I don't ever want to see that rock near me when I'm acting! It's... indecent!"
Maria, hearing the argument, barges in. "What is going on here?"
"Ma-Maria-san! Tell Tsubaki here that this rock will block the audience's view of me and it must be removed!" Sumire points at the rock and looks at the opposite way.
"But Sumire, the rock is needed to be there for Iris' part" retorted Tsubaki.
"Sumire, Tsubaki has a point. Besides, it's in the script." Maria said rather casually.
"Oh, so you two think that Iris' acting is more important than the top star's acting!? Fine! Hmph!" Sumire then leaves the stage, flicking her hair as she turned.
Maria then says "My, Sumire is pretty cranky." and leaves. Leaving Tsubaki to continue fixing the stage. "I'm never gonna get this done! They all get some fun while here I am, working!" She sighed.
Sumire passed backstage when going to her room, infuriated by what Tsubaki and Maria said. Even how Maria said it! Calm and casual. Like Maria is turning against her! These thoughts crowded her mind. She was thinking of many ways to remove the piece of rock and extract her sweet revenge on the two. She was absorbed in deep thinking that she didn't look where she was going. She tripped on one of the props and fell face flat on the floor. When she recovered, she instantly forgot about what happened and what she was thinking about but she still continued to her room feeling irritated at almost about anything.
"Yo! Lunch is ready!" Kanna, with a spatula in her hand, looks for everybody.
Kanna decided to go first to Sumire's room. She started walking towards the stairway, up to the second floor, a wide grin on her face.
The Teigeki looked more marvelous than before. Yoneda-shihainin had the place remodelled after the war.
Kanna admired the decorations as she made her way to Sumire's room. As she stood outside the doorway, she began to knock on the door.
"Who is it?" was the answer
"It's me, Kanna. Time to eat Sumire! Hurry up or the food'll get cold!"
"....."
"Hey! Come on or I'll eat your food!" Kanna continued to knock.
Sumire then replied irritably, "Shut up and leave before you break down the door you...you gorilla-woman!"
"Okay fine! Have it your way." as Kanna left she then murmured "Damn cactus-woman. Dunno what's wrong in that thorny head of hers."
Kanna continued to walk around the rooms looking for everybody when she came upon Iris' room.
"Hmm, maybe Iris' is in her room." she then proceeded to knock.
"Iris, are you there?"
A small, cute voice was heard "Kanna, is that you?"
"Yeah Iris, it's me. I just came to tell you that the food is ready and its time to eat."
"Wai! Wai! Lunch time! Go on ahead, Iris will follow!"
At the shooting range, Maria is practicing with her revolver and as usual, gets straight bull's-eyes when she notices Kanna standing on the doorway.
"I suppose you are about to tell me that lunch is ready?." She then starts to put the bullets one by one in the chamber of her revolver.
"Yeah. How did you know?"
"I have been your friend for a long time so I should know. Besides," she glances at her watch. "it is 12:35." she fires three more shots then turns the safety on.
The two walked together to the dining table followed by Sumire who just left her room.
"It's about time you left your room." Maria said. Sumire didn't care about what Maria just said as she walked slowly to her chair.
Iris, who was playing with her chopsticks asked "Where is Kohran?"
"I'm right here!" Kohran, coming out of the basement answered. She was no doubt cleaning the kobus because of her wet and untidy clothes. "By the way, Sakura-han called up a while ago. She said they'll be visiting."
Iris, who heard this news, slowly spread a smile on her face "Yay! Sakura and Oniichan are coming!"
Kanna, who was surprised started to worry.
"What's with the face Kanna-han?"
"It's just that I didn't cook enough food for them."
"Don't worry Kanna-han, Sakura-han said she had cooked themselves lunch."
"Well, that was a relief." She replied and started to eat vigurously.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back at the apartment, Sakura was dressing up. Ichiro, who was ready, was checking their apartment if it'l be okay while they are gone. "Nothing's out of the ordinary, everything's okay. Sakura are you ready?" He was wearing his usual clothes, brown slacks, brown leather shoes and his white polo shirt. He didn't wear his vest and tie this time because of the heat.
"Just a minute!" was Sakura's reply. "I'll just brush my hair."
"OK I'll be in the doorway then." He proceeded to the doorway and waited.
"I'm ready Ichiro!"
"Shall we go?" he asked.
Sakura nodded in reply and the two couple left their apartment.
Together, the two walked towards side-by-side towards the Teigeki, hands intertwined with each other. There were a lot more people than before. The streets were filled with steam cars. Most of the buildings damaged in the war were repaired. New buildings were also being built. It was a very busy city. The smiles and happy faces of the people told Ichiro and Sakura their hardwork and victory paid off.
Finally, they were there.
"Yosha! They're here! Come on! Let's greet 'em!" exclaimed Kohran
The couple was greeted with warm welcomes and smiles.
"Wai! Wai! Sakura and Oniichan here!" Iris, who was at the top stairs, ran towards them, giving them a big hug.
They went to the salon. Everyone talked and talked until mid-afternoon. Maria, as a treat, cooked them some Russian delicacies. During the war, before she became a rifleman, she used to cook her taichou and his company some of her delicacies. Of course, everyone liked it especially Kanna, whose appetite is not enough to fill a lion which hasn't eaten for a week.
At the manager's office, Yoneda-shihainin was opening his sixth bottle of sake. "Hey...A*hic*yame! *hic*Come here and *hic* have some!" the old man fumbled for another glass to give to Ayame. "He is totally drunk" Ayame thought as she analyzes some important papers. A crash was heard which sounded somewhat like glass breaking. "*hic*Oh my, I'm getting*hic* old." Yoneda said as he stares at his hands... he is now seeing double. He stares at the broken glass on the floor. Ayame sighed, "Oh, God now I have to clean this up." In a split second, Yoneda passed out, sake dripping out of the bottle.
It was one of the best days they had in their lives. No... it was and will be. Everyday from this day forward will be the best days of their lives. Or so they thought.....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This chapter of my fanfic just focuses on the Hanagumi's life after the war. So it's somewhat plain and ordinary.
I hope it wasn't too bad. It is pretty short because I don't know what to write. Looks pretty bad too (my opinion). I'll be making more chapters. In fact, I'm done with a few. I'm just gonna wait for your reply if I should post them. Please, R&R. :)
