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 So there is steam power but is outdated.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:
Is not so hard after you get used to it
And Benji say:
Is true. You are doing well. On this rate I will let you do the credits alone.
And she blush more and say:
I don't want to the credits alone!
And he say:
Fine. Then we do it. Now say 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.
The battle high that is traveling is:
Kumi, Tanaka, Miki, Sachiko, Julietta, Shuji, Azusa, Midori, Kimihito, Ogami, Kanna, Kohran, Maria, Iris, Sakura, Orihime, Reni, Sumire, Aki, Benji and Ayase.
Chapter eighteen: Waiting.
Meanwhile in a shrine a teen with long black hair wearing a priestess outfit is sleeping under a shade of a holy tree. Suddently she wake as if she have come out of a nightmare. She is very pale and covered in a thin layer of sweat. And she say:
What was all this about?
And she wipe her brow and get up. She clean her red hakama and think:
I must have stayed under the sun for too long. What a wacky dream. A dragon and Hoshie. I must be missing her a lot to have a dream like that. But why she would be here? She is on that boarding school in Kyoto.
And she walk to her house. In there she see her mother having some tea. She is wearing a simple white kimono with a black sash. Her long black hair flow in a casket that goes until her waist. Her hair is loose and contrast with white skin, is a woman of a traditional Japanese beauty. And she say in a calm yet a bit worried tone of voice:
Fuu are you okay? You are a bit pale
And the teen say:
I am fine mom.
And the woman say:
Really? I can tell that you are worried.
And the teen look at her mother with shock and say:
Is this have something to do with that especial power that you tell me that you and I have?
And the older woman smile warmly and say in a calm tone:
No. Is that every time that you are too worried you frown.
And the girl look at the older woman in shock. And she say:
Now Fuu sit here and talk to me what worry you.
And the teen nod and sit on the floor facing her mother. And she say:
I have this dream just now.
And the older woman say:
A dream? About what?
And Fuu say:
About Hoshie.
And she say:
What happened in the dream?
And Fuu say:
It was very vague. I could see a large area of the city destroyed. It have many people fallen on the ground most of then was armed. Hoshie was fallen near of a girl. On the center of the area it have a battle.
And the woman say:
A battle? Go on.
And Fuu nod and say:
A huge wolf like creature was facing a Japanese dragon.
And the woman say:
And what was the dragon color?
And Fuu say:
I don't know. It was all in red, black and many red shades. It was a fierce battle. The city was falling under they blows. Where they passed the life was destroyed. It have a power clash and then I woke.
And the woman look at the teen and the teen say:
I must be my imagination right?
And the older woman say:
No. Is part of our family powers. Perhaps was only a dream. But can be a possible future.
And Fuu say:
But mom why Hoshie would be in the middle?!
She is on the boarding school!
And the woman say in a calming tone:
I don't know. We only have a small vision we can't say what will happen for sure or why will happen.
And Fuu look at her mother and think:
Haneda Reina. She was a powerful miko form a traditional miko family. She always said that my sister and I have special powers that was granted to us by our blood. She can do amazing things. I once have see her vanish an evil spirit with a single touch. And she sometimes calmed me showing images from her past. Sending directly from her mind to mine.
And she say:
But mom why I have seen this?
And Reina say:
I don't know. Maybe because involve Hoshie.
And Fuu say:
And if is only a dream? How I can know if is not a vision and is only a dream?
And Reina say:
You have to use this.
And she point to the teen chest to her left side of the chest and Fuu say confused:
My breasts?
And Reina say in a calm tone:
No silly. Your heart. Is the only thing that can tell if is a dream of a vision. That is not the time.
And Fuu say:
But why now?
And Reina say:
In our family the powers wakes after the girl first period. But it can take some time to be fully wake and you can use it. I think that the powers in you was sleeping until now. You need to use your training to focus it and use in a good manner.
And Fuu nod. Meanwhile in a square Benji and Orihime are in the bike and Benji say:
In here nothing unusual. Taking out that the people are getting ready to a festival.
And on the other side Aki say:
We are in the middle of the summer. Is not unusual festivals. But what a time for one.
And Benji say:
Yeah. Is sure more victims for what ever is about to happen.
And Orihime say:
Can't you be more positive?
And Benji say:
No.
And he drive away. On the truck Tanaka say:
But how we will found a small group of people among so many people on the festival?
And Aki say:
We search.
And way later the battle high gather on the parking lot. And they all say:
Nothing.
And Sei say:
Don't feel so bad. This is a large city and found a bunch of thirty people among about seven hundred thousand is hard. Is better you guys rest. Aki and I ordered pizzas to feed an army. And we have soda enough to drown an elephant.
And Benji say:
Good. I could eat a horse now.
And Kanna say:
Same here.
And they enter in one of the trucks. On the next day very early in the morning Benji is sited on the truck roof looking at the city partially covered by the night. Julietta walk to him and sit beside him. And she say:
What is bothering you?
And Benji say:
Is that visible?
And Julietta deny and say:
No. Is because I know you since we are kids. I can tell when you are worried.
And Benji say:
Is because my recent condition.
And she say:
That energy block.
And he nod. And she say:
Is because you now must also feed in blood regularly?
And he nod. And she say:
Look all of us who give it to you don't mind.
And he say:
I do. You know that is addictive. At least for me. If this keep going on this road I will be only using the Yami.
And she say:
I know. But it don't have another way. You need to feed or you will die. And even with the curse is not good that you keep dying.
And he nod. And she say:
You will get over this. We have passed thru a lot together. I am sure that you can get over this. Besides you are not alone. You have me, the battle high seniors and the juniors. That not mentioning all your friends.
And he nod and say:
I know. Is that you can't imagine what it feels Juli. This hunger, this feeling inside me. Telling me to stop caring. Telling me to fight like I did on the tournament against that demon that Juichi summoned. Fight to kill no matter what.
And Julietta lean to him and place her head on his shoulder and say:
But you don't do that. You fight to protect. Even on that time. But in that time you was not facing a human enemy and you could fight not holding back at all. I know that you are a kind person. I know that you fight against that.
And he nod and they stay like that watching the sunrise. After the breakfast they all gather in one truck and Aki say:
So what we know now?
And Tanaka say:
In two days it will begun the summer festival. And the city will be overflowing with people.
And Aki nod and say:
And what we can do?
And Sei say:
We can try use the Seino satellites to try to found then by the energy.
And Aki say:
In this city? It will not be useful. It will only show the people. And rangers know how to hide them energy.
And Sei say:
I know. But we can't found then in less than two days. And with only us it would be hard even in a longer time. We are less than thirty and there is plenty of places to hide in here.
And Aki nod and Julietta say:
So what we do?
And Aki say:
Sadly there is only one thing that we can do. I am sure that someone that have hunted for food like you must know what I mean.
And Julietta say with her eyes wide in surprise:
You don't mean that we should wait for an attack?
And Aki say:
That is what I mean. I don't like it more than any of you. But we are like an spider now. We have our web set and ready for a prey. But the prey have to fly into the web.
And Julietta clench her hands in fists tightly and Sei say:
Is the only way for us take action with a small group against a small group hidden in a big area. We must wait to then show themselves. Is the only way.
And Tanaka say getting up and in a angry tone:
But people will get hurt! We don't even have an idea of where and how they will attack!
And Sei say:
We all know that. And I am sure that we all feel the same about it. But there is no other way. If we continue the searches we will waste energy and effort on the search and we will not found anything. And we will be scattered around the city. And if a attack begin in that moment we will not be able to regroup fast enough to fight then. And even if we get in there in the same time we will be tired from the searches.
And Tanaka say:
But…but…
And Julietta say:
I know Hoshie. But they are right. We can only wait for now and prepare of the attack. And try to make the wounded people be only very few. Is frustrating.
And Tanaka sit down and Aki say:
We are using everything that we can to found then before that. But as we are the first line of attack and defense we must wait and react fast. So everyone try to relax and rest.
And they nod and leave the truck. On the parking lot all the battle high look down. And Kanna say:
I can't believe in this!
And she punch her open palm in frustration. And Kimihito say:
I know. But they are right about everything. We can't do anything now.
And Reni say:
And what we will do?
And Azusa say:
We can ask to go to a mall or do a shopping. At least we can try to relax.
And Reni say:
But about what they said?
And Azusa say:
Going in large groups and going near of this area and with communicators there will not be a problem right?
And Reni say:
I don't know.
And Azusa say to Benji:
So fearless leader what you think?
And Benji is not in there. And she say:
Where is Benji?
And Maria say:
He went to the cargo area of the truck as soon we left Sei truck.
And Azusa say:
He could at least pay attention to what we talk.
And Sumire say:
So ask him if we can go or not.
And Azusa nod. And she found Benji near of his bike and Azusa say:
Benji we want to know if we can go out to a mall. It will be in a large group and we will take the phones and the communicators.
And he say:
Go on. Just don't get too involved on it.
And she nod and walk away. And she run the group and say:
He said yes!
And the girls cheer. And then from the truck Benji leave in the bike in an insane speed and burning the tires on the ground. They all look him moving away. And Sakura say:
Where he is going?
And Julietta say:
I don't know. And honestly I don't care. He can take care of himself. Now who want to go to a mall follow me.
And they nod and walk away. Benji drive in the streets fast. And move to the outskirts of the city. Later he stop on a gas station a couple of kilometers outside the town and walk away into the woods. The girls and the seniors are in a large mall. And Julietta say:
So Hoshie this is the larger mall in Nara?
And she say:
Yes. It have mainly everything in here. I used to hang in here a lot.
And Julietta say:
Okay guys you can walk on your own in here. Since we all have communicators we can keep in touch. We meet here in two hours. After that we decide later meanwhile that you guys can do anything in the mall.
And they nod and separate in smaller groups. And Julietta and Tanaka move away. And Julietta say:
Why you are so nervous Hoshie?
And Tanaka say:
Is nothing. Is only because I don't want to meet anyone that I know in here.
And Julietta say:
But why that?
And Tanaka say:
Is because that incident.
And Julietta say:
Come Hoshie. That was not your fault.
And Tanaka say:
I know. Is just that I can't face then.
And Julietta sigh. Later in a Baskin Robbins' 31 Ice Cream shop Julietta and Tanaka are eating ice cream. Well Julietta is. Tanaka is eating strawberry cheesecake flavored ice cream. And Tanaka looks like she is on heaven. And Julietta who is wearing men clothes smile and say:
You look like you are in the paradise.
And Tanaka say:
I love this strawberry cheesecake flavored ice cream. I just love it.
And Julietta say:
Well by the price it must be good.
And Tanaka nod absent minded. Unaware for the duo an average height man is looking at then with curiosity. He have short black hair and is wearing a beated jeans pants and a loose white t-shirt. And he pick a cell phone and take a picture of then. Julietta is with her back turned to the man. And he walk away and dial a number on his phone. And after the other line pick up he say:
Brat you won't believe in who is just saw in the mall.
And on the other side a girl voice say:
Don't call me of brat you lazy bum!
And he say:
So you are not interested in who I just saw?
And she say:
Who?
And he say:
I am sending you the picture.
And he send it. And on the other side the voice say:
HOSHIE?!
And he smile and say:
Yep. Her. And she is a date with a red headed guy. She seem very comfortable around him. Very comfortable.
And she say:
Look Takeru she is not like that! She already like someone else. She is on the mall?
And he say:
Yes. On the Kazeke mall. On that ice cream shop that you two hanged out a lot.
And she say:
I am going right now! Takeru don't lose her!
And he say:
Fine Tsubasa just hurry.
And he turn off.
End of the chapter eighteen:
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.
He pick a paper from his pocket and say:
All the organizations named on the story are fictional any resemblances with real ones are coincidence. And explanation about then will be given on the story.
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.
