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.

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 So there is steam power but is outdated.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 he say:

So you are beginning to get used to this now?

And she nod and say:

How you can do this? Is embarrassing.

And Benji say:

Answer me Tanaka. Do you see anyone on the other side?

And she say:

No.

And he say:

But they see you and me. As far we know there is only HaruNatsu reading this. Maybe Maria Tachibana my co-writer on Red sword and black gun. There is no reason to be embarrassed. You are dressed. If you was naked or on you underwear that would be embarrassing.

And she blush more and nod. And he say:

Now Tanaka read that plaque and say it on loud what it is written on it.

And she nod and she say:

I hope that everyone enjoy the story.

He give her a friendly slap on the shoulder and say:

Good.

And he bow to the audience and say:

Please enjoy the story.

And they walk away.

Chapter ten: Intimacy.

Later on that night everyone is having dinner quietly. And Aki say:

Is better everyone go sleep after the dinner. Tomorrow we will train hard.

And they nod and keep eating. After the dinner Aki have gone to her bed room and all the others are in the room. And Sakura say:

What will happen to Benji-sempai?

And Sachiko say:

He will fight. After that he will come back.

And Orihime say:

And if he loses?

And Miki say:

Than he die.

And all then swalow a lump on the throat and Maria say:

Why he is fighting?

And Kimihito say:

Last year it have one tournament. It is a tournament that is only held once in every seven years. It pick many fighters and make a tournament. The prizes are amazing. But last year have many students of our school in there. And well not all from the battle high. The soldats have also gone. In the semi-finals one of the soldats the actual president ruined the tournament using the energy gathered in there to raise a demon. Benji stopped him. But the tournament was ruined the arena was destroyed and many of the fighters was badly hurt by the rites. They have been investigating everything and since they can't do anything they decided to make Benji of a escape goat.

And Sumire say:

That is wrong!

And Sachiko say:

It is. But we can't do anything. Benji was the vice leader of the battle high on the tournament. And he is the only one that the council can punish even that he did the right thing.

And they stay quiet. After while the hanagumi and part of the others move to the bed rooms. Julietta, Kumi, Lyta and Tanaka are in the room. And Tanaka say seeing the two younger girls sleeping on the tatame mats:

Julietta why you are so calm with this? By what I understood of that Benji can die.

And Julietta say:

I know. Is just that panicking would not help. Benji is a strong fighter. And more than that he have things to finish.

And Tanaka say:

Things to finish?

And Julietta say:

Yes. You must have heard the fact that Benji and Juichi hate each other. And that they are trying to kill the other.

And she nod and Julietta say:

That is part of his to do business. Benji is coming back I believe in that.

And Tanaka see Julietta expression and say:

You like him?

And Julietta say not showing surprise:

In witch way?

And Tanaka say:

I mean like a boyfriend?

And Julietta say:

Like is a too strong word. I love him like a brother. And like him on the same way. We are best friends. But what I feel different of that is not a liking. Is more like a childhood crush.

And Tanaka say:

What you mean? I didn't get it.

And Julietta say:

Is that for many years I used to see Benji as a knight in shining armor. A valiant boy who saved me from my horrible destiny under my father hands. When I was young I thinked of him as a possible boyfriend. But as more we knew each other I started to see him as my brother. Someone that I can rely on no matter what. But a very tiny part of me still have that small crush.

And Tanaka say:

So when you was protecting me you was hoping for him to come?

And Julietta say:

Yes. I was scared because of you. I knew that I have been imprudent to not fight back. And that they would kill you and me. I was hoping that he came to help us. That after I realized that they would not be satisfied only by hitting me. They wanted to kill us both. I was sacrificing my body to that would be solved with out need to me to fight. When I noticed that I was wrong and those guys wanted kill us was too late to fight back. My body was numb and I couldn't move to fight.

And Tanaka say:

And he came and saved us.

And Julietta nod and say:

Benji solve problems in any way he can. That is why he got so many scars. What I did on that day he did before. And he was protecting Lyta. She was just a baby and he was covering her with his body while been badly beated. But as my feelings Hoshie I don't love him in that way.

And Tanaka say:

Is that true?

And Julietta nod and say:

It is. Now help me to take those two to the bed.

And she nod and they move the two sleeping girls to the bed room. And Tanaka and Julietta walk back to the room and Tanaka say:

I thought that you two have been dating too.

And Julietta say in a casual tone:

We are not dating. We hang out together, go out together and to be honest act like boyfriend and girlfriend sometimes. But we are only brother and sister. What we feel for the other is not the love of two lovers.

And Tanaka say:

How you can say that so certainly?

And Julietta say:

Look this is a secret. So you have to promise to never tell this to anyone.

And Tanaka say:

I will never say it to anyone.

And Julietta nod and say:

Few years ago after our guardian death we became bad. I mean we become rebels. We stopped carrying with many things. We used to drink a lot and fight a lot. Well one night we was drinking like crazy in our apartment. That is the last thing that we both remember. On the next day we woke up on the same bedroom. His room. We was naked sleeping on the same bed. Our clothes was ripped and tossed around the bedroom.

And Tanaka blushing say:

You don't mean that?

And Julietta say:

Yes Hoshie I mean that. We have done it. And to be sure we found a blood stain on the bed sheets. Of course it was a shock for both of us. We went in separate rooms until the hangover have ceased and we could think straightly. Benji said that if I got pregnant he would take responsibility over it. We was scared until I got my period two weeks later. We took that period to think over what we felt. And we got on the same feeling. What happened on that night was one accident. What we felt was not that king of love and affection. We was best friends and brother and sister. Nothing like lovers.

And Tanaka say:

But he was you first? Is not right lost like that.

And Julietta say:

Well I wanted a more romantic thing. And above anything I wanted to remember of what happened on my first time.

And Tanaka say:

You don't remember?

And Julietta say:

Until today we don't have any idea of what happened. We are so drunk that I still got surprise that we remember of getting in the apartment and lock the door.

And Tanaka say:

Is not right. A girl first time must be something special with someone special that she loves. Not a drunken thing.

And Julietta say:

I know. But for me was all right. It was his first too. We only got fourteen back then. And we moved on. It mad me feel better when he said that he would take responsibility if I got pregnant. I knew that he would be there for me. Even that it was only because we was friends and because the child. To be honest I knew that he would not leave me alone. When he said only confirmed it.

And Tanaka say:

It was his obligation. If he have got you pregnant he should have to take responsibility.

And Julietta sigh and say:

I would never force him. If he decided to go away I would raise it alone. Maybe only ask for financial help. But in any case he didn't say that. And I didn't got pregnant. And after that we become a bit better. We was still rebels but not so careless.

And Tanaka say:

I don't know how you two manage to stay friends after that.

And Julietta say:

Well Hoshie sex is not only made for love. And have children is also made to have pleasure.

And Tanaka look at Julietta with a shocked expression and Julietta say:

What?

And Tanaka say:

How you say something like that so frankly?

And Julietta say:

For me is natural.

And Tanaka say:

It made sound that you two have done it after that time.

And Julietta say:

And we have.

And Tanaka say shocked:

What?!

And Julietta say:

Hey calm down don't scream.

And Tanaka say:

But what are you saying? You two have done it?

And Julietta say:

Well sometimes we did after that day. For lust. We are still friends. Still brother and sister by raising but every now and then when we feel like having sex. We just see if the other want to do it. If not is all right. We are only friends. Intimate but friends.

And Tanaka say:

That don't seen right. Make love and not be his girlfriend.

And Julietta say:

Wrong. We don't make love. We have sex together. Is different. Make love it when have more feelings than lust and in our case friendship and intimacy. Making love is when you are in love with the other. You do it not only for the pleasure of the act. Have sex is only for have pleasure. Of course being intimate and trust on the other is better than doing it with a stranger.

And Tanaka say:

I still think that don't feel right.

And Julietta say:

Is okay to you think of it. What Benji and I have is only a deeper friendship. The sex only complement the friendship. Of curse is not like that to everyone. Benji got his girlfriend and we stop doing. But when he broke with then when we feel like we do it again. Is like that. But let's talk of something else?

And Tanaka that during the conversation was blushing a lot nod. And Julietta say:

So what you are thinking of the trip?

And Tanaka happy the change of subject say:

It very nice. I mean the training is hard. But is fun hang around with so many people.

And Julietta say:

See. Is better have friends.

And Tanaka nod. And Julietta say:

So you have any boy that you are interested of the school?

And Tanaka blush and say:

Well he is not from our school. He is from my previous school.

And Julietta say:

And?

And Tanaka say in a sad tone:

He was my senior on the marching band. And I was not brave enough to confess to him. And after the scandal of my mother I gave up all the chances of stay with him. Who would date a girl that her mother is an adulteress?

And Julietta give the sad girl a smile and say:

Look your mothers mistakes are her mistakes not yours. Only because she did it, it don't mean that you will do it. You two are different from the other. In the same way that I am different from my father. Only because my father was abusive creep it don't mean that I will become one. I do the exact opposite. I try to help people. Not hurt then. Of course that I have to fight to protect. But I will not follow his steps. And you will not follow hers.

And Tanaka say crying:

But how you can say that? My mother ruined my family. Our honor. Everything. For a personal trainer.

And Julietta say:

Look Hoshie I don't know her. I don't know him. I only know that you told me. But your mother must have feelings for that guy. Even that what she did was wrong she must have a reason for that. But cheer up. All that is away.

And the chestnut haired girl nod. Julietta wipe Tanaka tears with her jacket sleeve and say:

Now is better. Sorry to brought that up. I was trying to make a happier subject and I ended only making it worse.

And Tanaka say:

Is okay. I must get over that. And you are right. My mother and I are different. I will not make her mistakes.

And Julietta nod. And Tanaka open her hand and open it as if she is holding a ball and focus. Julietta see it and say:

What you are doing?

And Tanaka say focusing:

Benji-sempai told me if I manage to make an energy ball he would let me play with his lunar flute once.

And the red head smile and think:

Benji you sly bastard. You are making her train one advanced feature of martial arts when she not even know the basis. And she is determined to do it. That is what you meant by giver her a light but decisive push forward.

And Julietta say:

You know how it is made to charge the energy?

And Tanaka stop and say:

To be honest no. I was trying to do like on the animes when the guy just summon it from the air to his hand.

And Julietta sigh and say:

Sorry to inform that is wrong.

And Tanaka get discouraged and Julietta say:

Well is not wrong. Is that take energy from the surrounding is a very advanced skill.

And the girl perk up and Julietta say:

First you have to learn to focus your inner energy. Like the animes. Is called of ki. Also have other names but is the same thing.

And Tanaka say with her voice letting pass all her eager to know:

Tell me more.

And Julietta smile and say:

Well is not easy. People only can do it with years of martial arts. Or meditation skills. But that is the harder way. You have to think of your energy flowing in you. It have different frequencies, affinities, elements and ways of using it. It have almost infinite ways of using the energy. For example Benji and I when we fight we use to boost our bodies. So we get faster and stronger. As well more resistant. We also use energetic attacks. As Benji shot energy balls.

And Tanaka nod and Julietta say:

Okay I will give you the basis of the basis.

And Tanaka nod and Julietta say:

Okay. Close your eyes and relax.

And the chestnut haired girl nod and Julietta say:

Now you have to try not thinking about something else. Think of your own energy. Think in how it moves. What make you feel more energetic, what take your energy. And I don't mean like resting or exercises I mean of situations. As what make you feel busting with energy. And try only keeping those thoughts on your mind.

And she nod and say:

And then what?

And Julietta say:

That is the basis of the basis. But is not easy. You have to do it first. Is the step minus fife. You have another fife steps to reach the zero and after the zero you will begun the steps up. Think on this way. You are on an underground parking lot. It have fife steps to the ground level. And on the ground level we will begin to go up.

And Tanaka nod. Hours later Julietta and Tanaka are still there. And Julietta say:

Hoshie are three in the morning and you still haven't got even managed to focus. Stop and we try back in the morning.

And Tanaka open her eyes and say:

One more time Julietta. I know that I will make it this time.

And Julietta say:

You said that all the times. And you still haven't made it. Is a hard thing to do and is late and you must be tired.

And Tanaka say:

I want to do it. I want to play that ocarina.

And Julietta say:

You will play her later. For now we need to rest.

And Tanaka say:

One last time.

And Julietta nod and Tanaka close her eyes again. Julietta look at the torii and sigh. And she think:

How much more he will be away? The trial don't take all that long. I am worried.

And a cold breeze blow and move the tree leaves and the two girl's hair. Tanaka hog herself because the cold and broke her focus. And Julietta say seeing that the girl have opened her eyes:

So let's get inside.

And the other girl nod. And Tanaka say:

Julietta look at that!

And she point to the torii. From the red gate three figures pass by it. The middle figure is being hold by the other two. And the two of the sides are females. And the one on the middle is a male. And the duo run to there. And they see a woman with long light brown hair, two cat like ears with light brown fur, a same color tail, she is wearing a brown leather jacket and a brown leather tight skirt that go to the middle of her thighs, under the jacket a tight white shirt, brown stockings, brown boots and a red bandana on her neck. She have brown eyes in a normal human face. And the other one 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. She have black fairy eyes. And she have a red stain on her left side of the neck that I staining the silver cloth of her kimono. And they are carrying Benji who are unconscious on the two women arms.

End of the chapter ten:

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.

And he pause and say:

And thank you very much HaruNatsu and Aloysia-Sakura-fan 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.
