Hi this is Benji Himura. I am now starting a new Sakura Taisen/Wars fanfic. This is an altered dimension story. I don't own Sakura Taisen or any of the characters. I also don't own the characters of the game named Dividead. The personalities and actions of the characters are changed. As well events and names of the school. All the others characters belong to me. Dividead belong to C's ware. Some anime or manga characters might show up in the story I also don't own then. I own Benji Himura and others characters that will show up in the story. It might be violence and sex in the story so if you are underage of seventeen are warned the content might be too improper to your age. Read by your own will and risk. In anyway enjoy the story.
Signed: Benji Himura.
Lights go on and a stage show up and red curtains rises. A tall man with long black hair tied on the base of his head, wearing dark blue pants, vest and shirt walk in and say:
Hi everyone I am Benji Himura the writer and character of this story. This is my new Sakura Taisen/wars fic. My previous works are perfect blue eyes, young blood and my most recent one Red sword, Black gun. This last one is a joint fic of Maria Tachibana and me. We signed it as Seiryu and Kuassari. I am also writing violet blossoms. I will only name my Sakura Taisen/wars fics.
He make a pause and say:
Let me give you all a brief explanation of this story. It will happen away from Teito or Tokyo. It will be on a school on the interior of the state of Kyoto but far from the capital. It a private boarding school on the middle of nowhere. The closer city or village is away four hours in a car. Walking take about ten hours to make it. So you begun at seven in the morning and arrive on the village at fife in the afternoon that not stopping for nothing. The school grounds are very large. More details on the story. Many of my own characters will be on the story. If is not from any anime is mine.
He make a pause and say:
Now the more important detail it all happens in 2002. So there is steam power but is outdated. And think on the future of Sakura Taisen/wars series but with out the kouma wars. All the hanagumi will be there. Even Ogami. As for then they was the theater troupe but they have closed the theater for make large repairs on the building. The hanagumi have the older ones eighteen years. They all will act in the most similar way as they do plus few changes for the story sake.
And he stop and a short girl with long dark brown hair wearing the school uniform walk in and Benji say:
And attention everyone this is Tanaka Hoshie. She is a character that belongs to HaruNatsu. I have her permission to use her. And she agreed to be part of the story.
And Tanaka bow shyly and say:
Hi everyone. I am going to be around the story. I hope that you all enjoy it.
And she straight up and Benji say:
See it was not so hard.
And she blush and run out the stage and he say:
Well I guess that she is not ready yet for the credits. And just to remind everyone. I don't own Sakura Taisen or the characters. I own all the others characters taking out Tanaka. More details about her on the story.
And he bow to the audience and say:
Please enjoy the story.
And he walk away.
Chapter four: Training.
On the next day Benji wake up and after a quick shower dress up and move to the cafeteria. He know that he is very late for the classes but he don't care. He buy something on the vending machines and eat. He walk to the library and move to the reading room and stay there hearing the silence. He close his eyes and think:
So far this fights have only be a small show off. We all know it. But last night the war was launched. And now everyone knows that. Juichi have come himself after try to kidnap Iris and Kumi. And I broke up with Haruka for good. No more secret meetings.
And he put his weight on the chair support and lean back and think:
They have become more offensive on the past week. It seem that the newbie's triggered it. And now Juichi thirst for power and blood have peaked. Now is not just personal hate. Now is a private war. I must to end this fast. But I also need to know what the goal of the soldats is. Haruka never told me. She only said that she was after a cure.
And Benji sigh and open his eyes and see Mayumi in there and she say:
You should not ditch classes Benji. You should be setting an example for the others.
And Benji say:
Cut me some slack Mayumi-sensei. Today I am not in the mood of classes.
And she say:
You should not let your emotions take over you. It was summoned a meeting with all the teachers and the students representatives. The subject is the every growing rivalry of the soldats and the battle high.
And Benji say:
It is all they fault. They tried to kidnap Kumi and Iris. Both are from my hall and from the battle high.
And Mayumi say sitting on the reading desk:
But that is not excuse for trying to kill the other. Even this school being very tolerant about martial arts and combat is getting out of control Juichi actions and your own actions are becoming more dangerous. You and him could have killed all the students on the parking lot last night.
And Benji say:
We wanted to kill the other.
And Mayumi sigh and walk away. On the library Benji is quiet on his corner. He knows that the classes are over but he don't have any mood to face anyone now. Soldats or students. Benji is balancing on the chair back legs with out much effort. Unaware of a small framed student walking to the reading room. The student enters on the reading room unaware of the moody man on a corner. On the well lighted room her forms are seem. Is a girl no older than seventeen. She have long dark brown hair and is wearing the school uniform. Her small frame and delicate form make her a cute girl. But also an easy target for some of the worse students of the school. She walk to a desk holding a thick book. And she put her bag pack in another one and she seen the tall teen. She let out a surprised gasp. Benji only look at her and say in a casual tone:
What? Never have seem me before?
And she shrinks a bit and say in a shy and scared tone:
Is not that sempai. You surprised me. I didn't have seem you there.
Benji notice the tone and think:
Come on I am not all that scary. Okay I give that she look somehow like a small animal as a rabbit or a squirrel. But look at me as seeing one predator is sure bad. My reputation is that bad?
And she notice his silence and think:
Oh god why of all the rooms on this library I have to enter on this one?! He is the Benji Himura. The leader of the battle high! He can do anything to me and walk away! No one would even try to stop him! And he is with that cold menacing look and the air around him is so heavy and scary! Please god make him go away or someone else get in here.
And Benji say on a casual tone:
I am that scary? You are in a cold sweat.
And his question very unexpected and a bit concerned. She is so shocked that she don't answer and he say:
Unlike any rumors that you might have heard I am not bad.
He get up and walk to her. She shrink and shiver is fear stunned by terror and he just pass by her to the door. And he say:
I think that I know you. I guess that your name is Tanaka something. In any case Tanaka not everyone is bad on the school. If you get like that around everyone you will become an easy target. Try to make friends in your class and in your hall. Being alone is not good to anyone.
And he leave the room and she let out a relieved sigh. She look at the door. Well the passage between two book shelves and think:
He don't look so scary. Just sad and lonely. I wonder if he is always like that.
And she wipe her brow with a handkerchief and begin to read the book.
Later on that day Benji is walking on the main building and he hear a male voice say:
Just give up and come with us! You will join the soldats and will be our private amusement park. Both of you!
And Benji walk to the voice direction and see Maria and Kanna fighting a bunch of guys from the soldats. And Benji say:
Back off Kuma!
And they turn to Benji and one of then say:
Damn he is here!
And Benji say:
Fuck off before I decide to beat you all.
And Kanna say:
Good timing Benji-sempai. Those guys are trying to force us to join.
And Benji see a bunch of guys out of cold and he say:
You beated with some of then.
And she say:
Yeah.
And Benji say:
Good.
And he walk to then and the circle open and Benji say:
Fuck off Kuma.
And a female voice say:
Stay right there Kuma.
And Haruka walk closer and she say:
It is an order of the president to then join Himura.
And Benji say:
I don't care. They are not interested.
And Kanna say:
Yeah.
And between Benji and Haruka sparks flow and a strong wind blow and Benji say:
Take your goons and leave.
And she say:
You leave and let the girls here.
And Benji say:
I guess that I will have to beat you to make you leave then.
And she say teasing:
Try darling.
And Benji toss on her some fire daggers and she say:
You know that I can unlit the fire!
And the fire goes off and lightning show up and hit her. And electricity flows on her body and he say:
I know. But you can't do anything about electricity.
And she say fixing her hair:
You hold back. But don't do it. I want to play hard.
And he say taking out his right hand glove:
You will regret it.
And she charge some very small whirlwinds on her right hand and keep then on a tight ball and Benji charge electricity and it form a ball of the size of a large grapefruit and it have a small core on the middle and a outside surface and between then electricity flows. And Benji say:
I will not be nice.
And she say:
Neither I will.
And they dash to the other. On the middle the moves are deflected and hit the other on the ceiling. A tall teacher with short black hair wearing a black gym coat and pants and tennis shoes. He is holding both Benji and Haruka wrists and the teacher say:
Himura, Hojo. You two should not be using killing moves on the school grounds. Specially you two.
The damage on the ceiling is severe. A large and deep crater and many deep slashes. And the teacher say:
Hojo take the soldats and stop this "recruiting". Himura take your hall members and avoid the soldats.
And he release pushing both of then away. And Haruka say:
Is not over darling.
And Benji say:
I know.
And they turn they backs to the others and Benji walk to Kanna and Maria and say:
Let's go.
The duo nod. And the teacher say:
You wait a minute Himura. Let the soldats go first.
And Benji stop and Haruka leave with the others. And the teacher say:
Himura I know that you was protecting then. But remember thanks your and Juichi actions last night all the council is looking on you and on the soldats. Cool down and avoid fights. Even you with that scholarship can be expelled.
And Benji say:
Look Takezo-sensei I have ignoring the soldats for too long. And now they are acting like this. Is time to response. I will not give the first hit. But I will sure give the last one.
And Takezo say:
Good. Now leave.
And Benji nod and the trio walk away. On the way to the dojo Maria say:
What is going on sempai? First Iris, then Kumi now us.
And Benji say:
I don't know.
And they get in and Benji walk to the back of the dojo. Kimihito, Julietta and Aki are there. And Maria and Kanna stop on the entry and Kimihito say:
What is wrong?
And Maria say:
Sorry sempai. I Tachibana Maria.
And Kanna say:
And I Kirishima Kanna.
And they say on the same time:
We want to join the battle high!
And Julietta smile and Aki say:
Sure. Take out your shoes and get in here. After the others arrive we will show the new members.
And the duo nod. Later Aki leave and Benji walk to the changing room. And Kimihito say to Maria and Kanna:
We will be by ourselves today. So you can practice alone or just kill the time in somewhere that you want to.
And Maria say:
Why she left?
And Kimihito say:
There is a meeting of the teachers now.
And on a meeting room on the Ishiji hall Aki is on a large desk with many others teachers and some students and the dean say:
We are here to discuss what we will do about the successive attempts of the soldats of force recruiting and kidnaps attempts of members of the Ceres hall and the battle high. As well the violent measures taken by the leaders of both clubs.
And a teacher with a long black hair say:
They are getting more aggressive. I am hearing many complains of students about the soldats recruits and the test recruits. Is attempt of assault and sexual crimes. Many are stopped by the battle high members. The students are fearing the soldats because they actions. And they are fearing the battle high because they fight in open.
And a male teacher with short brown hair say:
But you must admit Sakuya-sensei that Benji and the others from the battle high are getting more violent. Many students are still on the hospital.
And Aki say:
They only get more violent to respond to the more violent acts of the soldats. In two days have two kidnap attempts.
And the male teacher say:
I admit that he was protecting his fellow members and the dorm mates but burn badly two students and crush another one wind pipe is use of excessive force.
And Sakuya say:
Kenta-sensei the soldats do worse. Rape and beatings are crimes. Defend the others no. Did you even seen a member of the battle high start a fight for no good reason? Or force a girl to sex?
And the male get quiet and another woman with short black hair say:
Sakuya-sensei is right. If the soldats keep themselves on they places the battle high would not fight then.
And another male say:
But the battle high also make students to join then.
And Aki say:
Never by force. Who join is because want to or because want to be away from the soldats. And joining the battle high you can't join the soldats. We have many members that don't fight or even show up on the meetings. We call that the protected members. They are there to avoid be chased by the soldats and to gain protection against then. Because they know that is duty of the seniors members to protect the new and weaker members.
And Nishida say:
And that is blackmail. Using the seniors members as bodyguards.
And Aki say:
No. That is be wise. You and Juichi don't care about the new members and if you want someone you force then to join. All the club members know that. Before you be the supervisor teacher and Juichi the president the battle high and the soldats only have a rivalry and a dislike for the other. Now is pure hate and despise for the other.
And Nishida growl. And the dean say:
Stop. We can number the fights and the reasons of then. But it will be useless. The soldats are becoming more and more a bad spot on the school body. The actions are becoming criminal and dangerous. I am hearing complains about the soldats from the students, the teachers and in minor cases of the parents. Almost none of the battle high. And the ones that I hear is that Benji is too violent with the soldats or that Julietta breaked a soldat arm and that Kimihito get in a fight with a bunch of soldats. Well occasionally one of then get drunk but is normal for the age. But the most common reason of complain is the soldats.
And student with short brown hair cutted in a boyish way say:
Sensei I got many complains on the city about the soldats and the fights. Also many of the students that are catch on the middle of the conflict. Unlike the battle high the soldats don't care if innocent people got caught on the battle. More than once I took students that was caught on a fight between the soldats and the battle high. At least the battle high have principles and morals. They don't harm innocents. And they even help then to escape risking themselves.
And the dean say:
Thank you for clearing Ayase-kun
And another teacher say:
Is more than clear that the reason of it all is the soldats. Until last year they was not a model club but a not so bad club. Now they seen like the yakuza. Recruiting the worse king of the students in here to join and form that goons.
And Nishida say:
We are giving to those students a chance to become something else that out casts for being delinquents.
And Aki say:
So you turn then in a private army of students to keep your club. What else they do? I know that all of then are the richest kids on the school so the club must have a really good budget.
And Nishida say:
Our activities are not of your business.
And Aki say:
Really? Then why you ordered so much to us give up the dojo after we rebuild it last year. And we did it with the club budget. All the club members worked in that. Also have many voluntaries to help. But when you builded that club hall near of the soldats dorm you hired many workers because they club members didn't wanted to work and there was no one to volunteered to help you. Only the goons worked because they was ordered to.
And Nishida grit his teeth and the dean say:
Aki stop. I am also aware that you two also hate the other. But unlike Benji-kun and Juichi-kun you two tolerate the other. So I am asking for suggestions of what we can do to settle down this tense mood of the two larger and older clubs of the school.
And there is a heavy silence and the dean say:
That don't involve expelling students or destroying the clubs. And that of preference don't involve fighting.
And the teachers and the students murmur among then for while. And Ayase get up and say:
Excuse me I have one idea.
And the room get in silence and she say:
As the president of student body council of the first year I was thinking of have a field trip for the direct club members of both clubs. Of course to avoid fights each club will have a different place to go.
And the dean say:
Sound good go on.
And Ayase say:
Thank you sensei. A field trip help to relax. And the students can learn about new things on the trip. So we could send then to somewhere that they will learn and get rest. In preference a calm place.
And the dean say:
I understand. We can send then to a farm or something like that. Is quiet and far of trouble.
And Sakuya say:
But and about the classes of the members? We are in the middle of the first period.
And Ayase say:
As in a normal field trip one professor would go too. And that is the responsible teacher of the club Aki for the battle high and Nishida for the soldats. Of course we can send one more to help to organize the groups and help in the trip.
And the dean look thoughtful and he say:
I understand and agree with Ayase-kun. I will give a budget to each club of fife millions yens to organize the trip of the direct members. For the battle high that mean Benji-kun and his friends and all the others active members. For the soldats is Juichi-kun, Haruka-kun and the others leaders.
And Sakuya say:
What will happen if all the leaders travel? The goons will do anything that thy want to.
And the dean say:
Those students will be always followed by a teacher.
And a tall teacher with short black hair wearing a black gym coat and pants get up and say:
I will watch over the others members of the soldats. I will give then extra classes too so they can unleash the energy of the burning youth.
And the dean say:
Thank you Seiji-sensei. As for the others members of the battle high there will be no problem. They always behave well. And for the Ceres hall since he will be almost empty since almost all the students in there are from the battle high. The remaining students can report any problems to the leader of the Asao hall.
And the dean pause and say:
As the lessons and classes I want that the teacher prepare one booklet of exercises to club members with the subjects of the following month.
And Ayase say:
Sensei one month is too much!
And the dean say:
It will be like a vacation Ayase-kun. Maybe that help to calm then. Of course all then will have to show the booklets to the teachers to correct when the return.
And Aki say:
And the location we will pick it?
And the dean say:
Yes. But be careful the budget is for the trip expenses as transport and housing. You must also remember of food and all the others important expenses. But since is a small club I guess that you don't need to be so worried. And I want a voucher of all the expenses. That is for both of you.
And Aki and Nishida nod. And the dean say:
You two have one week to plan the trip. During one month after you two leave with the students I don't want to see any face of then in here.
And the duo nod. And the dean say:
You are all dismissed.
And they leave. And Aki walk to the roof and light a cigarette. And Ayase walk up in there and she say:
Aki-sensei you will not plan the trip?
And she say:
I already know where we are going. But why you suggested a trip Ayase?
And Ayase blush a bit and she say:
It is something that I was thinking for the classes Aki-sensei.
And Aki say after take a drag of her cigarette:
Only that?
And Ayase nod. And Aki say:
You are lucky Ayase. You are smart and earned your scholarship in here by your own hard work. Since you are not a fighter you are only a outsider on the two clubs personal war. You only see the fights in front of you. But you miss the purpose of the fights. The reason of then. I might not like of Nishida and the soldats but they are fighting for they on purposes.
And Ayase say:
Violence was never the solution.
And Aki say:
Wrong. Violence is the main solution of the man kind. All the human history is filled with wars. You know it since you are a good student. Specially the Japan. We have many wars and many war periods. People fight for food, land, power, wealth and many others reasons. I don't know what is reason of the soldats. But I know for sure Benji reason as well the battle high reason.
And Ayase say:
And it is?
And Aki say:
Benji fight to help the others. Even that people like you that is a outsider see him only like a troublemaker and a guy that only fight. The others think on the same way. They fight to avoid that you and the others suffer. You said on the meeting of how many times they stopped the abuses of the soldats. You mentioned that they helped the other even risking themselves. That is true. And that is the original purpose of the battle high. Protect the school and the people who live in here.
And Ayase say:
That is the reason of the battle high?
And Aki say:
Yes. That is the reason that the battle high was created one hundred years ago after the school ten years anniversary. To protect the school. We are a martial school. The best fighters was invited to join the battle high and be the school protectors. Until twenty years ago it was a honor be a member of the battle high. After the soldats was created thirty years ago the battle high begun to lose power. But the ideals and the purpose stayed. And those who truly believed in that remained on the club.
And Ayase say:
But those clubs only fight among themselves!
And Aki say:
Yes. But you named the reason very well on the meeting. One to protect and one to rule. Battle high and the soldats. The battle high protect us from the soldats that are trying to rule the school with they reign of fear.
And Ayase stay quiet and Aki say:
You should try to found the school history book. You will see that it is like that.
And Aki walk away. Ayase look at her and follow the older woman. Few minutes later on the dojo Aki walk in and say:
Benji, Kimihito, Julietta and Miki come here right now.
And the four walk to her. And Aki say:
I want your weapons. All of then.
And Benji say:
What ?!
And Aki say:
I want your weapons. All of then put take then and put on the floor.
And Kimihito take the axe from his blazer and a knife. Julietta a knife, a saber a pair of gauntlets and a bunch of shurikens. Miki take a kodashi and a knife. Benji take out his blazer and shook it upside down and many knifes, shurikens, kunais and small balls fall on the floor. Everyone look at him. And Aki say:
All of then Benji!
And he take a knife from the blazer right sleeve. One steel cord from the blazer collar. One knife from the inner part of the blazer back. More shurikens and kunais from some hidden pockets. And Aki say:
That is all on the blazer?
And he nod and toss it to another side and Aki say:
The sword.
And he pull from his back a katana and toss on the floor with the others and Aki say:
Is that all? Wait it have more.
And she put her hand on his belt and the girls blush and Aki pull more shurikens. And she more her hand around his belt and take more shurikens and she slide her hand inside Benji pants and Ayase that is watching from the outside blush and Aki pull a long and flat knife of his pants still sheathed and everyone look at him. And Aki toss it on the huge pile in front of Benji. And she touch on his inner thighs and she say:
Here is over.
And she kneel and take from his ankles two knifes. And she take his shoes and open the heels and found two automatic pocket knifes on then. She toss on the pile and get up and look at him and say:
Is not over yet.
And she caress his hair and remove a very slim pocket knife from his ponytail and she search on his sleeves and take more knifes. And Aki say:
Damn Benji is that only in this outfit?
And Benji say:
Well I have extra ones.
And Aki say:
I will be taking those ones too.
And Benji sigh. Everyone look at him and Benji say:
What? And Julietta you know that I always carry load of shurikens.
And she say:
I know but that is too much!
And she point to the huge pile. And Benji shrugs and say:
Whatever.
And Aki pick then up. And she say:
Now to the dorms I want all the weapons.
And she put the weapons on a box and all they walk away. And Kanna say:
Sempai how you hide so much weapons?
And Benji say:
Is easy.
And on the dorm Aki fill more two boxes on Kimihito and Julietta room. And three on Benji room. And Aki say:
Are you getting ready for a war?
And Benji nod and Aki say:
I know. Is only for one week. So try not to fight. All of you.
And they nod and she walk away with the boxes. And Julietta say:
This sucks if we are attacked we will only count on taijutsu and energy attacks.
And Benji nod. They walk back to the dojo and train. After the practice Aki is wrapping Benji right hand on bandages and she say:
You should not train with those burns. And why you used a technique that you haven't mastered to fight Haruka?
And Benji stay quiet and Julietta say:
Probably to kill her.
And he nod. And Aki say:
Look I know that everything is only getting harder. But you all must behave. The council is not glad with all this fights. Even that all they know that you and the others only fought back the soldats.
And they stay in silence.
Benji walk to the stage and say:
I hope that you guys have enjoyed the story. It was fun to write.
And he pause and say:
And thank you very much HaruNatsu for reviewing the story. I hope that you and anyone else that is reading this have enjoyed the story.
He bow to the audience and say:
Please read and review. Any opinion is valid. Even a bad one.
And he bow to the audience and walk away. The curtains fall and the lights goes out.
