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:

A small resume of the events until now. The hanagumi join the Asao high. After been introduced to the school and the problems they all join the battle high. Then Tanaka Hoshie a first year student met Julietta and after few troubles she also join the battle high. Because the tension among the battle high and the soldats both clubs get one month of training trip to calm down. After a calm period of training taking out few incidents they face a serious trouble when three artificial beings break in a factory trying to steal information. After they are destroyed they found that they was send by another group that kill demons. But those members of the group know as rangers are now terrorists. And the battle high begun to hunt then down. They move to Nara the homeland of Tanaka Hoshie. After one day of searches they decide to wait for an attack to get the rangers. But Tanaka meet one of her old friends. Benji get in a fight with a demon with not much of a reason and also met a friend of Tanaka with out knowing it. And then he is facing Tsuruko a woman that is extremely strong. More details about her in the story.

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 and say:

Why I haven't show up in the last chapter?

And Benji say:

Because the story was getting too focused in you. And that chapter was to show more of my past.

And she say:

And why so focused in you?

And he say:

I am the lead male character.

And she say:

And who is the lead female?

And Benji say:

I am still thinking of who will be. So far you have stole lots of attention. But it will be a hanagumi girl. I am thinking of who. It is kind of hard decided who will be. I already have two stories with Maria, one with Sumire. Well two if you consider it that are two separated stories.

And she say:

Why you divided that one in two?

And Benji say:

Well I thought that a plain "and they lived in happiness forever" was a too used cliché so I decided to kill my character and end the story there in a dark turn.

And she say:

Then why the second part?

And he say:

Well I thought over when I ended it and I thought that was a good hook to a new story. Since I left many things in the open as the yakuza war. Why they was invading the base, where that huge guy got the stake launcher and things like that. So I make him not die in the blast but be launched in a river with amnesia. Then I would break a war.

And she say:

Why all that?

And Benji say:

To make a good story.

And she sigh and say:

Well it is interesting. But returning to the tracks who will be the lead female?

And he say:

As I said I am still thinking of it.

And she say:

And why the dream sequence?

And he say:

To show up what happened before the story begins. At least part of it. It ended in the last chapter.

And she stay quiet and he say:

Please enjoy the story.

And they walk away.

CHAPTER TWENTY TWO: What the hell is going on?

And in the clear night the wind stop and the two stay only facing the other. And Tsuruko move forward a bit and her left leg show from the kimono opening. Benji dash to her and prepare a punch. She charge a black energy ball on her hand and dash to him. And he punch her and she almost hit him with the energy ball. But he turned his hip and she missed the attack. And she move her arm and hit him. He fly and land hard on the ground and make a gash with his body until he stop many meters away from where he landed. And she leap and try to hit him with her elbow. Benji see and dodge it. In the place where she hit have opened a large hole. And Tsuruko say:

You don't a fighting chance!

And Benji think:

She is right.

And Benji run away and she say:

You can't only stay running.

And Benji think:

Why I had to forget the sword tonight?! Damn Haruka! It is all her fault!!!

And Benji make a sudden turn and to Tsuruko surprise he hit her face with the gun handle and he keep running away. She take few seconds to recover and run after Benji. Later moving to the trucks Maria say:

It wasn't a bad way to pass the day. But I was still worried about the rangers on loose.

And Julietta say:

Well just chill out. When they appear we will be there to stop then.

And they see many holes and slashes on the ground. And Kanna say:

What happened?

And Julietta say:

Maybe Benji have made a party.

And they enter on truck and see Benji with an ice pack on his fore head and Aki taking his pressure. Sei is watching and Julietta say:

What happened?

And Sei say:

Well he got a visit from Tsuruko.

And Julietta say:

What?!

And Sei say:

Well it seem that she only wanted to check something and she left after he nearly got her. But as you know on his actual condition prolonged efforts and too much energy use tense too much his muscles.

And Julietta say:

But he is fine?

And Aki say:

He will be. He need to rest a bit. I already gave him some muscular relaxant. He only need to sleep.

And Sakura say:

Who is Tsuruko?

And Julietta say:

She is the mother of our master. She never liked Benji and she always found an excuse to fight him and beat him.

And Aki say:

Well this time he put a good match and he won. Now he is resting.

And Julietta say:

He won?

And Aki and Sei nod and Sei say:

She even gave him a kiss on the forehead when I thought that she would rip his head out. I think that she is moving on.

And Julietta seen a bit surprised and she say:

It was taped?

And Aki nod and put it to Julietta see. She see a very fierce fight. Benji using all that he knows against her. And in the end he won. And Aki stabbed him on the chest after is over. And Julietta say:

So he was only using the revolvers.

And Aki nod and say:

Yeah.

And Sei say:

It is better you all sleep too. Tomorrow is the day.

And they nod and move to the quarters. Way later in that night Benji wake and sit on the couch. And he put the ice pack over a table and walk out of the truck. He only sit in a bench and look up the sky. And he see a motion from one of the trucks. And he look and see Maria walking over to his direction. And he say:

What you are doing in here?

And she say:

I can ask the same.

And she is wearing a loose social long sleeved shirt and loose black pants. And he say:

I woke up and decided to take a walk and you?

And she say:

I can't fall on sleep. And I see you coming out and followed you.

And they stay quiet for few instants and she say:

Can I sit there too?

And he nod and say:

Sure.

And he move to a side giving her more space. And she sit and she say:

So sempai what you think that will happen tomorrow?

And Benji say:

I don't know. But in one way or another it will not be good.

And Maria nod and say:

I heard that tomorrow it will have an eclipse. A total solar eclipse at the three in the afternoon that might have something to do?

And Benji say:

Maybe. I don't know. In mystical terms an eclipse can mean lots of things. Sometimes good and sometimes bad.

And Maria say:

This is hard. I thought that two battles against the evil I could get some peace.

And Benji say:

I know the feeling.

And Maria say:

You get scared when you fight those demons?

And Benji say:

To be honest Maria no. I am so used to it that for me is not different than fight a human. After all I fight with then since I can remember.

And Maria say:

That is bad.

And he nod. And it has begun to rain. The duo get up fast and run to the truck. And Benji try to open the door and the door don't open. And Benji say:

Great!

And she say:

What?

You closed the door right?

And she nod and he say:

Well we are locked outside. And the rooms are sound proof so no one will hear us.

And Benji pick Maria hand and he run pulling her to the truck cabin and he say:

Good. At least this is open.

And they get in and sit on there. And Maria social shirt is slight transparent and her hair is wet sticking on her face. Benji is not different but he have his blue vest covering his chest. And he look aside and Maria say:

Why you are turning away?

And Benji take out his vest and say giving to her:

Your shirt is wet I can see thru it.

And she blush and pick the vest put it on. And Benji think:

Just great. Why I always get in these kinds of embarrassing situations? And why mostly with blondes?

And Maria think while closing the vest buttons:

I am so ashamed! Good he could even see my nipples. I admit that I was not using a bra. After all who sleep with those things? Why this have to happen?

And Benji turn on the heater and the chilly air of the cabin begin to get warmer. For sometime they stay in there in silence. Looking at the heavy rain falling by the windows. And Benji say breaking the silence:

Why you and your friends joined the hanagumi?

And Maria a bit surprised say:

We were recruited because of our spiritual energy. But I would never think that it have in the world so many people with bigger energy than us. I guess that we were chosen because we could harmonize with the koubus.

And Benji say:

It is not much people who can harmonize the energy with others. Be proud because it is a hard feature to get.

And she nod. And she say:

And why you joined the battle high?

And he say still looking at the window:

Because a stupid act.

And Maria confused say:

Because a stupid act?

And Benji say:

Yeah. Let's say that unlike you I didn't had a chance to choose.

And Maria move some wet strands of her hair from her face and she say:

But then why you fight so hard?

And Benji say:

Because I learned to like it.

And Maria stay quiet for few seconds. And she see a water drop move from his hair down to his forehead and keep moving down. She pull a bit her shirt sleeve and wipe the drop at a bit of surprise from Benji part. And she move it up cleaning the trail and for a split second they look on the other eyes. And they face away and Maria remover her hand and Benji say:

Thanks.

And she say:

No problem.

And Benji put his hands on his pockets. And Maria keep looking at the rain. And she hear the sound of small pieces of metal moving. And she turn and see Benji emptying his pockets. And she say:

What you are doing?

And he say:

With some luck I might have a key to open the door around here.

And Maria look a bit hopeful. And he found it and they run to the truck and get inside. And Benji say:

It is better you got to you quarters and change your clothes.

And she say:

You too.

And they move away. And Maria think while walking away:

When I was cleaning his face. By a second his hair color seemed different.

And she drop the thought not wanting to worry about it. In the morning they are all in the same truck and Aki say:

Okay this is the plan. All the non fighters stay behind as well Benji since his body is not fully recovered from his fight with Tsuruko.

And Benji say:

I can fight!

And Aki say:

You can't. She gave you a hard beating even that you won. You stay here with us.

And they move away. And Benji, Tanaka, Ayase, Kumi, Aki, Sei and the pink haired girl named Yuu. And Sei say:

Look Benji it is better if you rest when the battle begin we will send you. Only the battle high, Jo and Chie are not enough. I don't think that even you can make the odds better.

And Benji say:

I would prefer in any case be out there.

And Yuu say:

It is more logical leave few operatives in the base. In case of something happen and we need a fast response we cans end you.

And Benji say:

Logic can't solve everything.

And he walk to the quarters. And Ayase say:

He is always like that?

And Aki say:

Only when frustrated. He also know that he is not on his best shape. And he can't help in anything so he is angry.

And Yuu say:

We are all on line. Satellites, cameras, tracers, communicators and radios. We are all clear.

And Aki say by a head say:

You are all clear. Go on and remember stay sharp. Today it will be it. Whatever they plan they will use the festival to get more victims. So stay on your guard.

And they all say:

Okay.

And Tanaka think:

Every year my school marching band go in a parade in the festival. Please god make that this year is not us. Make that Tsubasa, Fuu and Chisa as well everyone else is not n the festival. Please.

And as the members of the guardians and the members of the battle high move to they own positions. And Ayase say:

What Tanaka and I will do?

And Aki say:

For now nothing. You two can relax.

And the duo nod and sit in the couch as the others are around a table with laptops and radios. Sometime later Tanaka get up and walk to the quarters. And she open the door and see Benji with his back on her direction put something on his watch. And then some images appear in the air. And she think:

Those are photographs but how?

And to her surprise she see a face that surprise her. And she think:

That is Haruka!! She is the vice president of the soldats! But then why that picture show Benji and Haruka together as boyfriend and girlfriend?!

And she keep looking at the pictures changing with different spaces of time between then.

END OF THE CHAPTER TWENTY TWO:

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 and her friends. 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.
