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 So there is steam power but is outdated.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 walk away from the stage and he say:

Well I guess that she is getting used to this... 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 eight: Time off.

On the shrine they are greeted by a woman with no more than forty years old. She have long black hair and is wearing a white kimono. She smile warmly to the group and say:

Welcome everyone.

And they smile back at her. And she say:

Well have many new faces in here. As well some familiar faces to. Please everyone come in…

And a fire orange haired girl wearing a same color kimono dash by the older woman and hug Benji waist very tight. And she say:

What took you so long master!!!

That shock mainly everyone taking out, the Itsukino family, Benji, Julietta, Aki and Kumi. And Benji say:

Lyta I told you many times to not call me of master.

And Ayase say:

That is outrageous! How dare you do something like that to a young girl.

And the Itsukino say:

You misunderstood everything. She don't mean master on the way that you are thinking. She mean master on the way of someone of a higher position. Besides Benji-kun helped to raise her.

And Aki say:

Can we go inside is getting cold.

And she nod and they walk in. And few minutes later they are in a Japanese room sited around a Japanese table and Benji say:

You got it now Ayase. She is kind of younger sister.

And Ayase say:

I can't believe that someone would trust a baby to an eleven years old kid.

And Benji say:

Well I only was protecting her.

Lyta is sitting close of Benji and Julietta say:

Of course that we and our guardian knew that Benji didn't have condition to raise a baby properly on such tender age. So we came to the Itsukino shrine, since Benji, our guardian and I know the people in here and they are old friends from us.

Sachiko and Miki nod. And Sachiko say:

And when they got in here Benji was with many wounds. Julietta and Sho-sama was holding back few people who was chasing her. When he got on the shrine grounds the fight stopped and Benji collapsed exhausted. It was very odd seen him carrying a baby.

And the Itsukino elder get in with a tray with many tea cups and put one in front of everyone and another woman that one with more than seventy years and long silver hair bring in a tray of candies and crackers. And Benji say:

Madoka.

And the younger one smile and say:

Is all right.

And the older one say:

No words for me Benji? I must have losing my sex-appeal.

And Miki say:

You lost it when you go fifty!

And the elder say to the others:

I am Itsukino Azuka.

And they bow. And the two sit and Aki say:

So Madoka you got the letter. So is all right?

And she nod and say:

Is all right. The shrine have many extra rooms. But to fit everyone is better put three or four on each room since they are large. Benji-kun you mind of share the old room of you and Julietta with Lyta and Kumi too?

And the black head and the red head deny. And she smile and say:

Okay.

And Ogami say:

Old room?

And Miki say:

They are old family friends. So when they was in here they got a room. So we let that room for then. Usually they only leave things in there.

And Madoka say:

Sachiko you and Miki will have to share rooms with the others too. And the others boys will stay in one room.

And Ayase say:

Why Himura will share room with three girls?! And he if he decide to do something to then?

And Julietta say:

Ayase let me explain you this. Benji and I have been sharing a room for twelve years. Kumi have been sleeping in the same room with us for two. And Lyta for eight. Well that answer you question? Any of us mind sharing a room with him.

And Kumi say:

But I mind sharing with another man.

And the others nod. And Azuka say:

So the remaining trio of boys will share a room. The girl divide in fife groups of three.

And they nod. And after the tea. Benji and the others are moving to the rooms. And Madoka stop him and say:

Benji you got some mail.

And she give him a scroll and he say:

Mail? That is odd.

And she say:

It was delivered by a robed man. He was wearing a light armor under it.

And he open the scroll as the groups enter on the rooms. And Benji say:

Is that recent?

And Madoka say:

We got it have two days. What the shadow council want with you?

And Benji say:

I don't know. Maybe they are pissed about something that I did. But I can't recall of anything that I might have done to piss then.

And Madoka say:

So you will be leaving?

And Benji say:

Yeah. I guess that I have no choice. If Tsuruko is calling is serious. Well at least most of the times.

And the woman nod and say:

Okay I will open the doors.

And he nod and enter on his room. And Kumi sited on a futon say:

What is wrong?

And Benji say:

Nothing. I just have to go to some place tonight. I will be back soon. Juli pass me those clothes.

And he point to a chest of drawers and she toss to him a small bag pack and he leave. And Lyta follow him and say:

Where you are going master?

And he say:

Just visit someone. Now go stay with Julietta and stop calling me master.

And she nod and walk back to the room. He enter on a bathroom and change of clothes. He leave the bathroom and some of the girls are on the hall and see him. And he is dressed in what to seen to be his normal clothes but those have a more Japanese cut. The vest have two stripes of cloth over the buttons, the shirt is more loose and the collar is not as high as the normal just going a inch up his neck, his pants are also loose and is tie bellow the ankles, his shoes are not the customary boots, but Japanese shoes, his belt is a sash like one and he is wearing Japanese cloth protections in the both arms and only show in the back of his hands moving to the middle finger. The most impressive thing is that the vest and pants are black. And Julietta say:

Well still fits. As usual you look good on that.

And he toss her the bag pack and he say:

Put it back for me.

And Ayase say:

Where you think that you are going. We are supposed to stay together.

And Aki pat on the brown haired girl shoulder and say:

Is a free time so he can do whatever he wants to. Besides Ayase he have to go. So Benji don't let her waiting too long. You know how she got when pissed.

And Benji nod and walk away. And Sakura say:

Who is she?

And Julietta say:

Well you can say that she is the master of our master. And she want to talk to him.

And Madoka say:

Juli-chan, Sachiko-chan, Miki-chan, Kumi-chan and Lyta-chan help me to fix the dinner.

And they nod. And Aki say:

Well the rest of you can relax for now. But don't mess up with anything.

And they nod. He leave the house and more to one side of the shrine and more to a large torii. Large wood gate painted in red founded in all the shrines. And he see Jo supporting her back on the torii and she say:

Going already?

And he say:

I have to. But it will not take long.

And she say:

I will be waiting. I still have to pay for that rescue.

And he say:

You already have.

And she say:

I can pay more. That was only the sample.

And Benji say:

I really appreciate it Jo. But I have broken up of one relationship and I am not ready for another one.

And she say:

I don't want a relationship. And I know that you also don't want. But is okay I can pay later. I will be waiting with the others.

And Benji nod and he walk thru the gate. On the next day on the kitchen the two Itsukino elders, Ayase and Kanna are in there fixing the breakfast. And Madoka say:

Ayase-kun, Kanna-kun go wake everyone. We will set the table.

And the duo nod and walk away. And Kanna say:

I will wake my friends. You wake Benji-sempai and the others.

And girl nod and they move to different rooms. And Ayase open the door of the room and see in a mess of futons a group of people curled up together. And Benji is on the center wearing loose gray pants and a loose t-shirt. Julietta is wearing a white big shirt holding on his left leg. Kumi is wearing a light pink nightgown and is sleeping with her head using Benji arm as pillow. Lyta is using a red and yellow big shirt and is sleeping with her head over Benji chest. And Jo is sleeping wearing plain white panties and a small t-shirt with her head on Benji waist. And Ayase let out a shriek and blush to a deep color of crimson. And her shriek wake everyone. And she scream:

How dare you do that you animal! With four girls! And two of then are kids!

And Benji still partially sleepy grab a shoe and toss on her. She fall on her butt and Aki say holding the shoe in front of Ayase face:

Why you have to scream so loud? I was having a really nice dream.

And Aki toss the shoe aside and wake the group. And later on the breakfast table Benji say:

For the last time Ayase I haven't do anything! We are using futons it have to roll up while we sleep!

And she say:

And is normal they all use you as pillow?

And Benji say:

Shut up! For god sake! And even if something happened in there is not your god damn business! And Ayase blush. And Tanaka say:

Julietta why you was using him as pillow?

And the red head say:

It happens sometimes. If you shared a bed with someone you must know that you can get closer to the person while you sleep. And I don't mean on the sexual way.

And Aki say:

Is normal. Well everyone let's drop Ayase freak out subject. This is our first day in here. Since most of you don't know the shrine and the city I will give you guys the day off to walk around the shrine and the city.

And they all cheer taking out Benji and Ayase who are still arguing. Later in front of the shrine house Benji, Julietta, Lyta and Jo are wearing black clothes. And Kanna say in a joking tone:

Hey you guys are going to join a mafia?

And Benji say:

We are going to a graveyard.

And Kanna happy expression change to serious one. And Madoka say holding a sake bottle:

Take this as one offer for him.

And Benji nod and pick the bottle and they walk away. And Kanna say:

Who they are going to visit?

And Madoka say:

Benji and Julietta guardian. You can say that is they step father. Jo and Lyta also knew him.

And Aki say:

Okay everyone let's walk around the shrine and then we go to the city. Way later Benji and the others are on a large graveyard. And they walk to a simple tombstone and Jo say:

It have beef almost fife years now isn't?

And Benji nod and look at the tombstone. And it say:

Ryuin Sho. 1954-1998. Reliable friend, thoughtful master, beloved father.

And Benji open the sake bottle and pours over the tombstone. And the four pray. Meanwhile in the shrine Sumire say:

So can we go to the city? We got here so late last night that we couldn't see anything.

And Aki say:

Sure.

And the large group walk away from the shrine. Way later on that day night the girls are in a large out doors hot spring. Most of then are with towels around they bodies. Taking out Aki, Jo, Julietta and Kanna. And Tanaka look at Julietta well builded body with perfect proportions and large breasts and say:

Julietta why you have so many scars?

Julietta body have many darker lines on the skin like the scar on her left cheek. And Julietta say:

I have been thru many fights.

And she sit on the warm water. And Iris say:

Aki-san have beautiful body! Look at her size!

And she point to the brunet large breasts. And as all the girls her breasts are not even a bit sag. And Aki is on the water with a shower pail with many sake bottles and a cup. And all then get in the water. Ayase look at the girls and think:

Thank god that I am also well builded and I am not flat. I never thought that I would once thank the skies for having large breasts.

And Tanaka think:

I am flat…look at then…taking out Iris, Kumi, and Reni I am the flatter girl here. And I don't know who is bigger Aki, Kanna or Julietta. And Maria is also on the fight for the prize of bigger breasts. Wait! Midori is also flat and my breasts are a bit bigger than hers.

And Tanaka have a small smile on her face. And Aki give to Julietta some sake and Ayase say:

Hey she is underage sensei!

And Julietta say:

Give me a break flattop. I have been drinking since before you begun to grown.

And Ayase blush mad in rage and embarrassment. And she say:

I am not flat! And you shouldn't drink!

And Aki say:

Look just a bit is not bad. Have some too.

And Ayase say:

I don't want drink!

And half hour later all the girls are with a faint blush and Tanaka say:

Miss Aki is right. Drink on the outdoor baths feel great!

And Kanna say:

That is right!

And by now the towels are tossed aside and the girls are naked on the warm water. And Jo is calmly drinking from her small bottle and Tanaka say:

Julietta how you got that scar on your face?

And Julietta say:

Is a long story.

And the girls say:

We have time.

And Julietta nod. All the girls get quiet and Julietta say:

It happened when both Benji and I have only six years old. Or thirteen years ago. We lived in Hokkaido, near of the capital. Benji and his guardian was wanderers. Benji was learning to fight with him and his guardian decided that the harsh climatic conditions of Hokkaido would be good for the training to build stamina and resistance. I lived there with my father. He was a soldier on an American base in there. He was a marine. My mother have died when I was four and I was raised by a Japanese maid. My father only come back at the evening and I didn't se him that much. Well both Benji and I attended to the same school and since I was very recluse because my mother death and because my father used to spank me almost daily I didn't have any friends. Benji was my first. In few time we become best friends. And Benji used to expend his free time in my house and we played together.

She make a pause and drink from her bottle and say:

Benji knew what my father was doing to me. And he in purpose make him angry so he would beat him and not me. More than once I have saw Benji guardian ask what was wrong and Benji only said that he fought when coming back from the school. Of course Benji guardian believed in him. Benji back then have a bad temper and sometime he got in many fights with older students. That stayed like that for six months. Benji went to my house to protect me. One night Benji guardian have to deal with some important business and Benji was going to sleep on my house. The maid that take care of me and the house didn't sleep over and she have left when the sun begun to set. Since was Friday both of us was watching TV on the living room. On that day my father was even worse than the normal. Because he have a disability because an old wound he was forced to office work. And he used to drunk a lot. And on that day he was drunker and angrier than the normal. He arrive mad and in silence. All of sudden he grabbed Benji by the hair and tossed him on TV set. That broke. I tried to help and he kicked me away. Benji got up and tackled him. Since he was drunk and his leg was bad Benji knocked him down. And then Benji grabbed a glass bottle from a juice that we have drunk earlier and begun to hit my father with it many times until knock him out of cold. We tried to get away but my father have locked the door. And he got up and chased us. We runned to the second floor. While Benji bought time I called the maid to help us. Both of us knew that my father was out for blood.

And she drink more and the girls stay in silence and Julietta say:

I make the call for the maid but my father cutted the line. We runned from him and we was trapped in a hall. My father said that he would get us both and he picked his side arm and aimed to me. He shot. I closed my eyes and only fest something really hot burn my left cheek. I opened my eyes because if was hurting I was alive. In front of me was Benji holding his left shoulder that was bleeding a lot. Later I was told that the shot hitted Benji bone and that have made the bullet change the path and only scratch my face instead of killing me. Shocked with Benji my father didn't reacted when Benji letting out a scream that sounded like a roar while jumping to him. Benji momentum made both of then fall on the first floor. They hitted a metal and glass coffee table. My father hitted it with Benji over him. The metal frame bended with the impact. Benji was holding my father neck with the left hand and he was punching him non stop with his right hand. And few moments later the police arrived and it needed three of then to hold Benji away from my father. Benji was like on the survival mode. He was attacking the threat. After sometime Benji was calmed and we was being treated by a medic. We was under one blanket. And one of the medics said that we was one of the lucky kids who survived when have one over abusive father. Seeing all the bruises, cuts and wounds that Benji got I was really wondering if we was lucky. I was crying because of what my father have done to my best friend. And when I heard that Benji have killed my father I got really happy. And we was taken to a hospital. On the next day Benji guardian pick us up. He gave Benji a lecture for not telling him about what my father have done. He took us to an ice cream shop and said that he was proud to see that he used what he learned to help someone instead of use only to fight. After that he required my guard. Since I was an orphan and I haven't any living relatives they agreed. Since then we have living together.

And Tanaka say:

Wow.

And Kanna say:

How you could get happy because your father have been killed? And by your best friend.

And Julietta say:

My father is not my father to me. Sho-sama is. He was only a bad man who tried to kill me and Benji.

And Aki say:

How he died?

And Julietta say:

The impact have broken his spine. But he was still alive. Benji instinctively have wakened the super stimulation of the body and got very strong. One of the doctors told that Benji have broke all the bones on my father face. And given brain damage. After that Benji begun to train to use it. And it and I also begun to train with him.

And Maria say:

Is one amazing story.

And Julietta say:

Benji still have the bullet hole in here.

And she point on her own left shoulder. And Ayase say:

That is crazy. A kid kill a grown man like that.

And Aki say:

That is self-defense.

And Tanaka say:

And after that you begun to travel with then?

And Julietta nod and say:

Train, travel. I lived with then. We sometime passed time in this shrine.

And the Itsukino twins nod. And Aki say:

Okay I guess that we stayed too much in here. Let's let the boys take one bath too.

And they nod and walk away. Few minutes later Benji and the others walk in with towels around the waists and Kimihito say:

God I thought that they have died in here! They took an eternity to take a bath!

And Benji say:

They are girls they take long baths. Is part of they nature.

And he get in the warm water. And Ogami say:

Sempai why you got so many scars?

And Benji say:

I fought a lot.

Benji body is covered with darker lines on the skin. But in a weird way on his arms don't have any scars. But on his legs also have many. And Kimihito say:

If he fight this much on the school I just image how much he fought outside of the school.

And Benji say:

A lot.

And Shuji say:

How you met that Jo?

And Benji say:

She is the daughter a good friend of my guardian. So we met when kids. We didn't hanged together as much Julietta and I do. But we got close too.

And the teen nod. On the house the girls are in a room watching TV and Azusa say:

Hey Midori what about we go peek on the boys.

And the green haired blushing:

What?

And the red head say:

Come on two of the most handsome boys of the school are only few meters away naked. Tell me that you are not interested on take a peek on both sempais?

And the green haired girl blush more. And Ayase say:

How you can say something so embarrassing?! We can't peek on then!

And Aki say:

Why not?

And the brunet is moving to the door and Maria say:

Sensei where you are going?

And Aki say:

Peek on then. I may have seen then naked few times when I exam then. But this is a good chance of see then acting normally, not worrying about me.

And Julietta say:

Benji is well build but I don't feel like seeing him naked now.

And Kanna say:

You have saw him naked before?

And all the girls look at her and Julietta say:

We grown up together. Until we got twelve we used to take bath together. And for years we shared one apartment more than once I walked in him bathing or changing. Also happened the opposite.

And Aki say:

Now all of us are going to peek. Who don't want stay here and watch TV.

And she walk away, she is followed by Azusa and Miki. And one by one the girls leave the room until on left Tanaka, Ayase and Julietta. And Julietta get up and say:

Well now I got curious. Come on you two too. You will not ever see this again.

And she drag both girls away. And they found easily the large female group peeking from one dark side of the bamboo fence and they join the others and Azusa say:

He got more scars than Julietta.

And Midori say:

He really have the scar on the shoulder.

And on the bath Kimihito say:

This feel way better than the dorm bath.

And the others nod. And Kimihito produce a pack of cigarettes and pick one and toss it to Benji who got one. And Benji say:

Want some Shuji? Ogami?

And the duo deny. Benji toss the pack back to Kimihito and the blond teen light the cigarette with a lighter and Benji create a small blue flame and light it. And he take a drag and say:

This is good.

And Ayase say:

How they dare to smoke?!

And she is shushed by the others and Benji say:

Is my first one in many years.

And Kimihito say:

My first on the week. I only smoke after sex and when I am feeling too good.

And Benji say:

That is too much information asshole!

And the blonde laugh. And Shuji say:

Some sake would be good now. I used to drink with my grandfather when we bathed in a outdoor bath like this.

And Ogami say:

It must be good. This shrine is great. Is dedicated to what?

And Benji say splashing him with some water:

To the moon idiot! Why it would be called Tsuki-jinja if was dedicated to something else.

And Ogami wipe his face and say:

I forgot my mistake.

And Benji say looking up the sky:

In few nights will be a full moon on the sky. And seeing from here is almost mystical.

And Kimihito say:

I heard from Miki that you have met once a moon fairy is that true?

And Benji say:

It is.

And Shuji say:

And she didn't stole your soul to take it to the moon?

And Benji say:

No.

And Ogami say:

What happened?

And Benji say:

That was a full moon night. I was alone in a old castle after a fight. I was sited on the garden resting and treating my wounds, washing then on the pure and cold water of a small pond.

And Shuji say in a curious tone:

And?

And Benji take a drag and say exhaling:

And suddently she appeared. God she was gorgeous. She have long silver hair. In a very light silver color. The same color of the moon. She was wearing a silver kimono with a black sash. Her face was beautiful, her beautiful fairy eyes. All black but very pretty. Her skin was very white. Her slender white hands was holding parcel close to her chest. I was so surprised by her appearance. Well I was stunned by her beauty. Beside me have my sword. The blade red with blood. But I didn't even though attack her. She kneeled beside me and talked to me in a very soft, beautiful and melodic voice that she would treat my wounds. And she took pomades and bandages from the parcel and she treated my wounds.

And Kimihito say:

What else happened?

And Benji say:

We stayed talking. She said that her name was Sari. She was send there to treat me because her kind was the reason of my fight. She explained that Julietta, my guardian and me was caught on the middle of a war of two families that was trying to stole her kind powers. I was separated from then. But I knew that I have to help her. Since the only way of me got out of there alive was to fight I decided to help her. After treat my wounds with her medicines the pain disappeared and she polished my sword. And I don't mean what you must be thinking Kimihito. She cleaned my sword. While I was resting on the garden. On the morning when I woke up she was gone. My sword was beside me. And over a rock have a vest. It was my own vest. But I could feel that it was different. When I returned on that same night she told me that she have putted a powerful spell on the vest and on the sword. Again she treated my wounds and polished my sword. After the fight was over she gave me a ocarina and a sword. As well new clothes. She said that it was the less that her kind could give to me for protect then. She told me that the castle was the connection point to this world. And if they have got in there they would have to close that path forever. On the damn I left the mansion carrying a small bag with my belongings, the gifts and some food. After I left the castle it disappeared on the air. Later I found that the castle was a legend and it said to have many treasures and dangers. I found my master and Julietta and we keep our travel.

And Kimihito say:

Amazing. But why you haven't done that fairy? Since she was so hot you could have done it.

And Benji say:

I was thirteen years old. And even with being beautiful on that time I didn't thought of that. She was like…like… I can't explain.

And Shuji say:

Like someone important.

And Benji nod and say:

The best way to say it is like a motherly image. It is different of that but is the closer thing that I can think.

And Kimihito say:

What happened with the things that you won?

And Benji say:

I still have then. My lunar flute and my lunar blade are in the this shrine. I asked to Madoka keep then for me. It is on the altar. You must have saw.

And Kimihito say:

That is yours?!

And Benji nod. He get up and say:

Well I will hit the sack. I am tired and I know that Aki will push us tomorrow. I want to rest for the rest of the night.

And he walk away. The girls walk away from there too.

End of the chapter eight:

Benji walk to the stage and say:

I hope that you guys have enjoyed the story. It was fun to write.

And he make a pause and say:

All the characters that is not from the Sakura Taisen is mine. Taking out Tanaka Hoshie. The cities of Sawamura, Tsukiakari and Kowa are fictional. Any semblances with real Japaneses cites by name or location are coincidence. Taking out the states and the capitals all the others cites are fictional. As well locations as shrines, river, mountains and others locations. Tsukiakari means moonlight. Kowa means peace.

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.
