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 So there is steam power but is outdated.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:

Well I hope that you are happy you are going to see your friends.

And she say:

I don't want to see then!

And she grab him by his collar and say:

I am too embarrassed! I can't let then see me!

And he say:

Well live with it. Is for the story sake. And you have to overcome that thing of stay away from then.

And she say:

And you who is running away for no reason.

And he say:

Wrong. I am going to kill some demons and found some good evil sword. In preference rotten to the core of so evil

And she say:

You are weird.

And he say:

Part of my charm.

And he make her release him and they bow to the audience and say:

Please enjoy the story.

And they walk away.

Chapter nineteen: Meetings.

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. And Julietta say:

By the way you know if have a fishing and camping shop on this mall?

And Tanaka say:

It have. Why?

And Julietta say:

I need to buy few things. Mind if we pop there later?

And she say:

No.

And few minutes later they leave the ice cream shop and walk away. And Tanaka say as they walk away:

By the way is your breasts smaller?

And Julietta say:

I am wearing a tighter bra and a gym top to flat then a bit. Since I took few clothes from Benji they usually get tight in the breasts and loose on the shoulders and the waist. I took a shirt and a jacket.

And Tanaka say:

Is natural. After all he don't have breasts or a hourglass figure like you.

And they chuckle at the comment. And Julietta say:

You are not bad builded too. With the proper clothes you can attract many men's.

And Tanaka say:

I prefer like this. And I can say the same of you. If you was wearing a skirt and with a tight shirt but with your breasts not so flatted you would be harassed in every place that we would go.

And Julietta say:

I know. But I am not an adept of girls clothes. Well I have many girls clothes. But I also like men clothes. Especially Benji's since he is only taller than me. So it fits well.

And Tanaka say:

Is not wrong pick up his clothes?

And she say:

Nope. At least I don't think so. I am even wearing his boxers now.

And the duo begun to laugh. And Takeru follow then by distance. Is not hard keep then on the line of sight. Julietta is tall and red headed, since most of the people is shorter and brunet. Is easy to follow her. And they get in a camping store. And few minutes later a girl with light brown hair that goes on the middle of her back and she is wearing jeans pants, a pink t-shirt and sneakers. She run in the mall and her hair follow her body movements and her bit larger than average breasts swing at the motion. And she dial a number in her cell phone and say after the other pick up:

Where is she?!

From the other side Takeru say:

In front of the camping store. They haven't left so hurry. Flavia gave me a hell of a lecture for not be on our meeting spot. Even that I told her that I was watching on Hoshie for you.

And she say:

Just stay there!

And she run to the second floor of the mall. She see Takeru and him say:

Go in sister they are in there!

And she nod and run inside the store. He walk away and say to himself:

I hope that they get along well. After all was Hoshie's idea to move away.

And he pick the cell phone and dial a number while walking away. Inside the store Julietta is checking on a pressure dart gun. And Tanaka say:

Why that for? You could request that for the Seino's.

And Julietta say:

This is only in case of a thing get out of hand.

And she check the gun pressure and say to the clerk:

I want two of this. And fifty darts that can be filled with liquid, like a syringe.

And the clerk say:

Okay.

And he walk away. And Tanaka say:

What get out of hand?

And Julietta say:

The situation. Not all of then are bad. So sedate then is not so bad.

And Tanaka nod. In another part of the store, Tsubasa is searching on the shop halls, she is covered in a thin layer of sweat and looking very worried. And she think:

Where are you Hoshie?!

And on the stand Julietta is checking on some metal knuckles. And Tanaka say:

And why those?

And Julietta say:

Back up. You know that I am an empty hand fighter. Well I use gauntlets.

And Julietta say:

I have seen you use katana and guns.

And Julietta say:

Well that is different. In close combat I prefer use taijutsu.

And Tanaka say:

I noticed.

And they chuckle. And the clerk return and give to Julietta the dart guns and the darts already packaged and Julietta pay and they leave the store. And Tsubasa found the clerk and say:

Have you seen two people just now. One of then have brown hair and the other have red hair.

And he say:

They just left.

And Tsubasa run away. And the duo move to a large balcony on the second floor. Tsubasa run searching for then. And in the balcony Julietta say:

This place have a nice view.

And Tanaka say:

I know. I used to stay here when waiting for my friends.

And they chat over the training. Half hour later Tsubasa walk to the balcony looking tired and still with the thin layer of sweat. And she say to herself:

How could I lose then? I was so close.

And she open the balcony door. And on the other side there is Tanaka and Julietta who was moving out the balcony. Tanaka froze and Tsubasa too. Julietta only look at then. And Tsubasa say breaking the silence:

Hoshie.

Meanwhile deep in the woods far from there. Benji walk in total silence in there. He is holding a katana. In front of him have an opening. He see a large and tall gray demon wearing a samurai like armor. And he think:

So this is the source of the evil energy. A demon with this huge energy will leave after dead a powerful item. As well will be a fine meal. That demon energy will keep me fed for at least a couple of days.

And the demon look around suspicious. He move near of Benji hiding spot. Benji smile and when the demon is close enough he slash hit from below. The armor fall cutted in the half. And the katana shatters but the demon have not taken any damage. And it punch Benji hard. Benji get up as the demon run to him. He leap and dodge the attack. He land on the demon back and hold on it neck and Benji hands begun to glow in a faint red color. The demon try to take Benji from his back but it fails. The demon fall on it knees and Benji keep holding it. And he let the demon fall limp on the ground. The demon body vanish and on it place a sword appear. It is on a sheath. A European like sword. It have a big hilt for two and a half hands, a wide metal guard and a wide and long blade. He pick it and unsheathe it. He feel the sword weight and say:

Not bad. A bit heavy for the size. But evil enough.

The sword emanate a black aura that fades and Benji take few swings and cut few trees and say:

Good. This will do a better job than that katana that I have made

And he sheath the sword and pick the fallen pieces of the sword and the hilt and walk away. Later back on the gas station he put the katana on the bike the sheath is with the hilt and Benji think:

I guess that I will ask to Aki dispose it later.

And he put the sword on his back under the jacket and drive away. He park near of a bikers bar. His bike being customized is way bigger than the others that are race bikes and dirty bikes with few American styles bikes. A group of men dressed like American bikers look at him while he turn the bike off and get out of it. Benji have a menacing face that make then move away from him as he walk inside the bar. In there he sit in a stall and he say:

Give me a coke.

And many of the bikers laugh in mock. And one of then get near him and say:

What a kid like you is doing in a hardcore place like this? You don't even have age to drink.

And Benji stay quiet and the bartender put a can of coke and a glass in front of him. Benji move to pick the glass and the biker pick it say:

Get lost kid! You are not welcomed in…..

And before he can finish the sentence his face was smashed on the balcony hard, the sound of the broken bones are heard. The guy don't even have time to cry in pain before pass out. Benji pick the glass from him before it falls and drink from it. Blood flows in large amounts from the fallen biker broken nose and teeth. His forehead is also bleeding. And Benji don't even bother to look at him. Many of the bikers look away and those who are friends of the fallen one move to Benji and say:

Kid you will pay for that!

And they are holding wood swords, pocket knifes and broken beer bottles. Benji place the glass on the balcony and fill it again from the can. He calmly remove his right arm from the leather jacket and the large sword appear on his back as the jacket fall to his left. He turn his head back to face then and say in a very icy tone:

Bring it on. You will only have to face me and this sword.

And they shiver and move away. Benji put on the right arm on the sleeve and finish the drink. He pay and leave. He ride and drive away. Benji stop near of a café and enter on it. He order a tea and a piece of strawberry pie. He careless scan around the café and notice that a blonde girl is checking on him. She have short blonde hair and she is wearing a loose jeans pants and a loose shirt. Benji not interested look away. And the girl look at him more and think:

Not bad. He seen strong and he is sure handsome. A bit young for my taste. But he is sure older than me. At least he have is twenty and few. He seen someone who would like to have a rush of adrenaline.

And she smirk and think in ways of getting closer of him with out looking like an easy girl. A waitress come with Benji request and he thank and eat in a normal pace. After a while the blonde girl pay her bill and walk away. One minute later Benji pay the bill and walk away. He see the girl near of his bike and move to it. He is about to say something when they are surrounded by many bikers. And Benji sigh and one of the bikers say:

Now you will pay!

And Benji see that is the one that he smashed the face on the balcony. The girl look in shock and think:

What the hell is going on?!

And a biker say:

He got his girl. Let's kill him and have fun with her.

And the girl froze in fear. Benji in a flow and amazing fast move grab her and leap in the bike and speed off leaving then behind. He put the girl over the fuel tank in front of him. He placed her with her belly down over it. He speed up and the bikers follow him. Seeing that like that in a turn she will fall, Benji change her position and make her sit in front of him while he drive. The girl too shocked to think only accept to be manipulated like a doll. Benji make a turn and move to a parking building. He move up the floors and stop on the top floor. He stop the engine and get out of the bike and he say:

Wait in here.

And she nod and he walk to the entrance of the floor. The sound of many motorcycle engines are heard as well the rage screams from the bikers. She look as he disappear from her line of sight. And she hear a faint noise of a blade been unsheathed and the engines get closer. And then a hell broke lose. Yells of pain and fear and the sound of metal being cutted are heard. She get out from the seat and hide behind the bike. The confusion continues for a while and then is over. She hear steps moving closer and close her eyes scared. And when they get very near they stop and she open her eyes and look up. She see Benji and he say:

Is over now. I will give you a ride home for the trouble.

And she nod and get in the bike after him. He drive away and she see all the bikers on the ground. The bikes cutted in pieces and the bikers all wounded. And he leave the building. Later he stop in a large house it have a small plaque that have this name written on it:

Atsushii.

And Benji stop and she get down of the bike and he drive away. She get in the house and move to her room. On the mall Julietta only stare as the two girls face the other in shock. And Tsubasa say:

Hoshie!!

And she hug the chestnut haired girl. Tanaka a bit hesitating hug her back. And Julietta embarrassed think:

God they look like lesbians! Every one is looking at us! This is too embarrassing!

And Julietta see that both girls are crying and think:

Well I guess that is all right. I sure know the feeling of remeet a friends after a long time away. But now what we will do? We can't tell her about us.

And Tsubasa say with a voice mixing happiness, concern and anger:

God Hoshie why you never wrote, called or even said good bye?! I missed you so much!!!

And Tsubasa hug her a bit tighter. And Tanaka say in a weak voice:

Because of all that happened I couldn't face you or anyone else…I was too ashamed….

And Tsubasa say:

But was not your fault! No one placed the blame in you.

And Julietta seeing that more people are gathering around then say:

Look can you two let go of each other now? A crowd is forming in here.

And the duo blush and broke the hug. And Julietta say:

Good now let's go to some other place less public and you two can talk.

And the duo nod and the trio walk away. And Tanaka and Tsubasa was walking a couple of steps behind Julietta and Tsubasa say:

Who is him?

And Tanaka say:

Who?

And Tsubasa say:

Him.

And she point to Julietta. And Tanaka say:

Tsubasa that is not a boy. She is a girl.

And Tsubasa say shocked:

You got to be kidding me!!!

And Tanaka deny and say:

She is a girl. She is only wearing men clothes and a tight bra.

And Tsubasa say:

By the scar and the clothes I thought that was a men. But who is she?

And Tanaka say:

She is my sempai.

And Tsubasa say:

And why you are in here? Not that I am unhappy to see you. But you was supposed to be on the school.

And Tanaka say:

A field trip.

And Julietta that is hearing think with a small smile on her lips:

Smart move Hoshie.

And Tsubasa say:

To Nara?

And Tanaka say:

We was in a shrine near of the border until few days ago. But our teacher decided to visit Nara for the festival.

And Julietta smile grew wider and she think:

Oh…Smooth move… I am now more than sure that we can make a good fighter of Hoshie. She deal well with the unexpected.

And Tsubasa say:

But why you didn't called us? Not only me but Fuu and Chisa missed you a lot. As well everyone else. Not mention our friends on the school.

And Julietta say:

Let's get in this café and you two can talk better.

And the duo nod and Tanaka sigh relieved for be able to avoid the question. And they sit around a table in a corner and Tsubasa look at Julietta and say with a suspicious tone:

You are really a girl?

And Julietta grab Tsubasa right hand and press on her breasts and say:

This is proof enough for you?

And Tsubasa blush feeling the other girl breasts. And Julietta let her go and Tsubasa say:

You could have said that you was a girl.

And Julietta say:

It convinced you right?

And Tsubasa nod and Julietta say:

Worked better than only words.

And Tsubasa say:

You are sure bold.

And Julietta say:

I know.

And a waitress arrive with three cups of coffee and three slices of cake. She serve the trio and walk away. And Tsubasa say:

But Hoshie you should have called your father. I am sure that Sayuri is worried about you too. Living all by yourself.

And Tanaka say:

I am not by myself. I live on a large dorm.

And Tsubasa say:

But you live alone. I heard that in that school each student have it own apartment on the dorm.

And Julietta say:

That is true ah…what is your name?

And Tsubasa say:

I am Toshino Tsubasa. And you?

And Julietta say:

I am Julietta Thorndike. My first name is Julietta not Thorndike. Get it?

And Tsubasa nod. And Tanaka say:

But how you found me?

And Tsubasa say:

Takeru have seem you and her on the ice cream shop and called me, so I came running to the mall meet you. I thought that I have lost you when I found you on the balcony.

And Tanaka stay in silence and Julietta say:

I will go check on the other Hoshie. I will come back in few minutes. Meanwhile talk to her. And remember of what I told you before.

And Tanaka nod and Julietta walk away. And Tsubasa say:

Remember about what?

And Tanaka say:

Only few words of incentive.

And Tsubasa look at Tanaka and Tanaka eat a piece of her cake and sip her coffee. And Tsubasa say:

You know I was pretty mad at you for leaving with out say good bye. That not to mention ignore me.

And Tanaka say looking away:

I am sorry Tsubasa. I couldn't face you. After what my mother have done.

And Tsubasa say:

I am tired to say that her actions are not yours. Her mistakes are not yours. Geez Hoshie we don't see each other in months and you still act like this. I wonder now if you have missed me and the girls.

And Tsubasa say the last part in a sad tone. And Tanaka say:

I missed you all! But I was not strong to face you all…

And Tsubasa look at her friend and say:

Look no one is mad anymore. We all miss you. Even that is only for a while talk with Fuu and Chisa. Or I will feel bad being the only one who talked with you.

And Tanaka say:

But…

And Tsubasa pick her cell phone and put on the table and say pushing it to Tanaka:

Call one of then. Talk a bit at least.

And Tanaka think:

Tsubasa…I don't want to do this…if I do I might let slip about the mission…I don't want to see you or anyone else hurt…

And Tsubasa say:

Hoshie why you look so troubled?

And Tanaka say:

Is because I don't know how long I will stay. Or if I will be able to talk with you and the others. We only got this break because a problem over the schedule.

And Tsubasa say:

The trip is so complex that you can't even have time to make a call?

And Tanaka say:

Is that we have to make the reports and our own homeworks not to mention the subjects of the classes that we are not seeing. Is too much to do.

And Tsubasa say:

I see. I heard rumors about that school being a top grade school with a high level of difficulty for the students. So they can only have the very best of the best.

And Tanaka nod and think:

I am so sorry to lie to you Tsubasa. I am really sorry. But I can't tell you about the real reason of being in here….

And they stay in silence. And Tsubasa break it and say:

You can at least call then now and say hi. At least to Chisa and Fuu.

And Tanaka pick the cell phone and think:

I want to talk with then! But I can't!

And she look at the cell phone and to the friend.

End of the chapter nineteen:

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 Japanese's 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.
