Prologue
Teito the imperial capital , it was spring time once again, the atmosphere is cheerful. People's moods in the capital are relaxed and happy, enjoying the peace in the capital, in which not long ago was almost destroyed by the Masou Kihei ( The enemies in st4 ), thankfully with the combined powers of Hanagumi, form both Tokyo and Paris was able to defeat the Leader of Masou Kihei. As the Captain of both flower divisions would say "Justice will always triumph!!"
In a café, a spiky black haired man taking a coffee break and reading the headlines. Is Ogami Ichiro, The captain of both Tokyo and Paris Hanagumi. Is also known as a Naval Lieutenant, a ticket clipper, and now he earned the title of an indecisive jerk. As for now he has been contemplating on all the events that happen when he first join as the squad leader of the Hanagumi, when he left for Paris to form a new Kagekidan and in the end returning back to Tokyo.
In his mind he has been thinking what he said to his former commander , Yoneda Ikki.
Yoneda "Ogami you chosen Sakura-kun to be your co-pilot of the Soubu because you really trust her."
Ogami "Yes I did, but I trust everybody in Tei-Geki, especially the Hanagumi."
Yoneda " Let me change the question, you chosen Sakura-kun because you really like her . Right, Ogami?"
Ogami's thoughts were dumbstruck. To him the Hanagumi are special to him, every person in that group he cared deeply, but for Sakura , Erica and a few others. He's care for them was even much deeper . His thoughts were "I really like Sakura-kun, but I also really care for Erica-kun and also..Damn my head feels like it's starting to spin."
Yoneda " Now then, Ogami are you going to live your life with Sakura? "
Ogami's thought's opened two options. One "I will live and share my life with her" he feels its right but still with hesitation, for there's so many unknowns if he choose it. Then there's a "Play safe" answer " I still would like to defend Teito's peace and I will think about it." He quickly chooses second option.
Yoneda " Ogami! Are you sure about this?" irritatingly asked
Ogami " Yes, because I still feel need to defend the capital, and.."
Yoneda " Yare, yare. Still being indecisive as ever. Well if that your decision, it can't be helped."
It has been a month and a half that has passed since he had that talk with Yoneda. There were some changes. Two weeks ago Erica and the rest of the Paris-Kagekidan bid their farewell and returned to Paris, France. With Yoneda retiring , Kaede took over the position and Kayama became the second in command, whether Ogami like it or not he will see more of his "best friend" in the theater .
In the café he was in deep thought, and Ogami uttered " I've decided! I not making any decision on this matter any time soon." In his mind he was worried and afraid if he was going to make that decision. He feels like if he did that, it's like betrayal to his friends the Hanagumi, but also he didn't like the idea spending the rest of his life alone. He whispered to himself "Alone.Huh? Or lonely ?" He finished his coffee and folded the news paper and left. Unknown to him a presence was observing for a far.
???? : This person, This man has been in my way for so many times. He's soul must be destroyed.
Returning to his rented apartment, Ogami was preparing his bed. Then he felt a very strong aura, one of hate , a very powerful and deep hate. At an instant he took out his two katana form his closet and prepared his stance. Then his room began to disappear, he ended up in a dark and empty void.
Ogami " Show yourself!!"
A dark aura appeared in front of him, revealing a figure, a woman dress in Priestess garb.
Ogami " Kisama!! Who are You?!! Why can't you people let go of your hatred !! People of this city have gone through too much already!!"
Leiko "I'm called as Leiko. My hatred is not toward your capital or its people. I know you wanted to say that the Hanagumi a have gone through too much already. Right? Ogami Ichiro."
Ogami "...... Then why !!!?? Why this hatred!!"
Leiko " My hatred is towards person to have repeatedly stepped in my way, is YOU!!!"
She unleashed a dark matter towards him, he quickly dodges, but the force of the attack gazed him.
Ogami "So much power!!" He finds an opening and attacks "Roukko Mekkyaku Tenchi Shin Mei!!!" Two energy blades hits Leiko with only minimum effect.
Leiko " What matter ? Your thoughts seems to be in chaos ? Humph! With that level of an attack you will never defeat me!!" She held out her hand, a force invisible hits him. He was thrown off and quickly recovers, but because of the might of the attack he fell on his knees. Breathing heavily, badly wounded.
Leiko "You have been in my way more than once Ogami Ichiro, you are in my way ever since you became the captain of the Hanagumi. You ruined my plans, changing the fate of every member of the Hanagumi, especially changing Shinguji Sakura fate. You have deprived me with the chance of obtain the Blood of the Haja!"
Ogami " Damn You!!!! What ever it is, I won't let you do as you please!!!!"
Leiko " .. Since you're that determined, I will tell you this, I hate you even more for changing the destiny of those that are called Parisi, time again you have interfered with my plans!!"
Ogami " You!!!" Slowly standing up "I will never let you hurt anyone of them!!! Never!!"
Leiko " I see, but before you worry about them, you should first worry about yourself." She saw Ogami slowly walking towards her . She saw very determined eyes of a person that will give his all.
Leiko " So, your ready to sacrifice your life just to protect them. Interesting "
Ogami "No, I'll will live and come back alive. I will never lose hope!! As I've told my teammates in the past."
Leiko " You know you can't defeat me, I see no way you can."
Ogami "Either I will find a way, or I'll make one!!"
He furiously charged Leiko, dodging all of her attacks , just as he was going to strike.
Leiko " Too slow, now your soul will destroyed" A white shiny sphere appear before her hand and stated to crush it. Ogami fell down on the floor in pain, but the white orb of light resisted. No matter how hard or how many times she tried to destroy it, this sphere of light always resisted.
Leiko "How can this be? How can you stand against my curse?? I see.. Even at a time like this you still worry about them!!"
Ogami " ... Their life is precious to me... That why .. I'll use my life as a shield!! For the sake of the people that I care the most!! No matter how hard or painful it is. I'll never give up!!"
As the white sphere brightly lit the dark void. The priestess was stunned by it luminescence, as the light slowly faded there were no trace of Ogami Ichiro's body and spirit. Leiko was very annoyed, for it was the first time she met someone this determined to resist her power. Her plan to destroy Ogami's soul didn't go as planned, but she still captured the his core entity, a part of his being. She still wondered what happen to the rest of his persona and where his body went.
Meanwhile in Tokyo and Paris every member of the Hanagumi felt something awful , like someone special to them disappeared .
In Theater, Morning
Sumire "What's this feeling? A strong feeling of grief , I can't stop form shedding tears."
Maria "Sumire? You're also here, ...It seems that everybody that I've met is depressed."
Sumire "Is that so? For some odd reason I also feel awful."
Maria " I see ...I also feel lot of dread. I never felt this much dread in my entire life..."
Sumire " .Can it be that the lieutenant .."
Maria " .....I would like to say that, he's fine , but.. After talking to Orihime, Kanna and you.. I not sure any more."

Leni " Hunnto, You came to cheer me up?" The dog barks "Thanks, for the company." "Today I feel so much sorrow. I don't have words to express it."
At the second floor of the imperial theater, Kanna went to Iris, She is trying her best to comfort the small girl. Iris kept crying and told Kanna that her Onii-chan life has disappeared, Kanna was unsure what do, all that she could is to stay with her.
Orihime was walking up the stairs leading to the terrace, she noticed that somebody was already there, it was Sakura.
Orihime " Sakura-san we've looking all over for you, it seems that everybody here is in a dark mood. It's like we're grieving.. I'm don't want to say it ,but ...I think that something bad has happen to." Sakura slowly faced her. Orihime was surprised at what she saw, tears. Flowing tears running down form Sakura's face.
Sakura "Tears...It seems that I can't stop crying...Please don't say it.."
Orihime "Sakura-san...I'm sorry .I didn't mean upset you more.."
Sakura "..I know that I should believe in him, for the battles that we've been through. He always said that we'll win and come alive with everybody...But now.With this feeling. I don't know anymore more!!" She collapse on her knees and continued crying.
Orihime "Sakura-san please calm down" That the same time she thought "Lieutenant."

Tarebu "Young mistress, is there a problem with the dishes that is served on table? If you wish I'll change..."
Glycine " That won't be necessary. I'm not hungry anymore, by the way have you seen Hanabi?"
Tarebu " It seems Lady Hanabi has locked herself in her room. We've tried calling her but still she won't answer."
As Glycine left the dinning hall
Maid "Miss Tarebu, It seem that our young mistress is quite depress."
Tarebu "Yes, but I've never seen her like this before."
At Hanabi's room,
Glycine knocks at the door "Hanabi, It's me. Please open the door."
Hanabi "I'm sorry Glycine, but I wish to be alone."
Glycine "Hanabi...Are you worried about the captain?"
Hanabi "Yes...As if I've lost someone precious to me... It's as if I've been reliving my past again, but this is a lot worst... I feel like Ogami- san has...."
Glycine "Don't you say it!! He always said never give up, and said that we will come back alive. To think like that ..I'll never accept that he's..."
Hanabi " I don't want to think about it, but this unsettling notion... That Ogami-san." She softly broke down in tears. Glycine also noticed a warm liquid was building in her eyes. She told Hanabi that if she needed anything that she will be in her room. In her room. Glycine "Tears..What's happening to me? You have once told me that you are fighting to protect the happiness of the people, to protect peace and you also said that is your pride. But now just as Hanabi said... This awful sense of dread..I can't stand it any more." She sat down on the floor and cried silently.
