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.

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:

And Tanaka walk in the room and say:

And Benji say:

And Tanaka say:

So what other surprise you have for me? Why I fainted? And why I gave that scream? What else you have stored?

And Benji say:

Is a secret, is a secret, is a secret and a lot.

And she say:

And what is your actual relation with Haruka?

And Benji say:

Is not of your business.

And she stay quiet and he say:

Please enjoy the story.

And they walk away.

CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR: Memories of you.

And Benji walk to the truck and pick a cell phone in his bag pack. He turn it on and move down the list of names. He stop in a number and a small light is beside a name he look at it with his finger near of the dial button. By few minutes he look confused and he put the cell phone on the bag and he walk away. In the bag the still working phone have this message in the display:

Haruka. 9923-4736

And Benji walk down the shrine stairs. He easily found the telephone booth and e enter on it and close the door. He pick the phone and place a card on the slot. The message "dial the phone number" appear in the small display. Benji sigh and he think:

I guess that I should at least thank her for that.

And he pull from his pocket a small silver chain with a yellow to green jewel a bit smaller than a ping-pong ball. And he remember of the events of the previous night.

In the exam room in the Atsushii clinic in the previous evening.

Benji is sited in a chair and Aki say:

The healing is working fast thanks to the nanobots and Kumi. Your fast healing also help. But you know very well why you was not killed by that blast.

And he nod and he pull from his pants pocket a silver chain with a yellow to green jewel a bit smaller than a ping-pong ball. And Aki say:

That memento that you always carry took most of the energy.

And Benji look at the jewel and Yelena say:

What is that?

And Benji say:

Is a mystical stone called wind of verdure. It have powers of the wind.

And Aki say:

You should be glad. If you and Haruka haven't bought that in the summer vacation you could be dead today.

And Mamoru say:

Memento? Haruka? What you are talking about?

And Benji say:

Just forget it.

They all notice that he is looking depressed now. And Aki say:

Just be more careful your body almost got destroyed. If Tanaka didn't have used that you would be dead.

And he nod quietly.

Present time.

Benji hold the phone with his shoulder pressing his head to it. And he is touching the wall behind the phone and he is dialing. And finish he hold the phone with the hand that is not holding the necklace. And it is calling. After three rings in the other side a female voice say:

Hello?

Benji stay quiet and the voice say:

If you don't say anything I will turn it off.

And Benji say:

If you don't want to talk with me or is a bad time you just say that there is no one with that name in there.

And the person in the other side stay in silence for a couple of seconds and she say:

Is okay. I am alone and not doing anything. I was waiting for your call anyway.

And Benji say:

You knew.

And she say:

Yes. I watched in the news before the image blocking system begun to work when you was jumping in the parade. They called you a member of a special force of the police who was there trying to prevent a terrorist attack. They didn't reveal your name.

And Benji say:

I guessed so.

And she say:

Even waiting your call I am a but surprised though. You was the one who said that we are enemies now. No matter if alone or in public.

And he say:

I know. I just needed to thank you.

And she say:

Thank me? For what?

And he say:

You remember about the wind of verdure?

And she say in a slight wistful tone:

I would never forget that. We bought the wind of verdure for me and the red blood for you. But that with out the other knowing. You gave me the red blood and I gave to you the wind of verdure. Even knowing that if we kept the stone our respective elements would gain more power. But we didn't cared. You only found the red blood and I the wind of verdure. We give to the other to remind of that perfect vacation. Of our time together.

And he say:

I know. I also remember of that.

And she say:

But why you was thanking me for that?

And he say:

I was facing a demon king. And he hitted me fully in the chest. I was supposed to be killed. But the wind of verdure took the energy only leaving for me the blast.

And she say letting her worry pass thru her voice:

You are hurt?

And he say:

No. I am fine. I just called to thank you for the jewel. I will no longer bother you.

And she say:

Wait! You are not bothering me.

And he lean in a wall not knowing that in her rented room she is doing the same. And she is only wearing a loose white social shirt that cover her until the middle of her thighs. The cuffs are unbuttoned and the shirt is not buttoned in the last three upper buttons. And she say:

If you want I would like to stay talking with you.

And he say:

I would like that.

And she smile bitterly and say:

Where you are?

And Benji say:

In Nara. And you?

And she say:

I am in Shizuoka. We are very apart now.

And he say:

We are. What you was doing?

And she say:

When you called I have just waked. I am still wearing my pajamas.

And he smile sadly and he say:

Let me guess. That shirt that you took from my closet after we begun to date and a panties.

And she say:

That is right. And what you are wearing?

And he say:

Jeans, a t-shirt, a vest and sneakers.

And she say:

Well you didn't sleep with those have you?

And he say:

I have. I fell in sleep in a couch and still dressed.

And she say in a casual and slight teasing tone:

Benji, Benji you should care more about your looks. You are a handsome man you should be a bit more careful with your clothes. Slacking off like that make me ashamed of have been your girlfriend.

And Benji say:

I just ended a fight. I am not in the thoughtful mode. I want to rest.

And she fix her hair and she say:

Still is not a excuse for not look good.

And Benji say closing his eyes to picture her:

Well at least I am not in my pajamas.

And she smile and say:

Well I just woke when you called me. I have a excuse for it.

And he smile and open his eyes and she say:

But where you are in the city? You are calling from where?

And he say:

A pay phone.

And she say:

I see. I guess that ruin my plan. But it is all right.

And he say:

You are worse than a man.

And she say:

I try.

Both of then smile. And he say:

You are enjoying your free time?

And she say:

A bit. I go out to a mall to shop. I expend sometime doing the exercises to pass the day. I watch TV. And you?

And he say:

I train and do the exercises.

And she say:

Well you need to relax in the break. You know as we used to do in the weekends. Just forget about the problems and relax.

And he say in wistfully:

I know...

And she say:

You know that we will not be able to keep this up. I am only talking because I was worried about you. And you because you wanted to thank me for the jewel. For more that I hate think about it. We are enemies. We only placed our differences aside to this conversation.

He look up to the sky and he say in a serious tone:

I know that. This will not happen again.

And she is also looking at the sky. Both of then have tears in the eyes and she say:

In the next time I will hung out.

And he say with a hint of sadness:

There will not going to have a second time.

And she say sad tone:

Good.

The tears flow freely now. And they stay in silence only hearing the other breaths. And she say after a while:

Before we end this pleasant half hour can you say it those words for me one more time.

And she stay quiet. They can see the other image in front of themselves and Benji say crying:

I love you Haruka. I really love you.

And she crying say:

I love you too Benji. I love you with all my soul.

They stay in silence crying for a long time. And they say at the same time:

Good bye my love.

And they hung out in the same time. Benji fall on his knees crying hard holding the necklace. His hair cover his face and the tears fall on the floor. In her room Haruka is sited in the floor hugging her knees crying holding a chain with a jewel that is just like Benji one but in a fire red color. After sometime Benji get up and pick the card of the phone and press a dial in random and walk away cleaning his tears. He walk to a store that is opening and buy three large sake bottles and walk away. He walk to the shrine and easily climb in a tree hidden from the house and from everything and begun to drink, still holding the jewel. He take a very large sip and let his memory take him to another time.

ABOUT ONE YEAR EARLIER.

Benji and Haruka are in the dojo. Kenji and everyone else is there too. And Kenji say:

Well today is the last day of the first period. So you all know what is coming?

And everyone shout:

Summer vacations!

And Kenji say:

That is right. Summer vacation. So everyone pack it up. The battle high is going to the beach!

And they all cheer. And everyone leave and Kenji stop Benji and say:

Listen Benji I know that in the past couple of months you became a fine battler. But behave. We only gained this trip because the soldats won a trip to Hokkaido. And we are going to Okinawa. And thanks to Sachiko who planed and worked to us get this.

And Benji say:

As long Juichi stay away I will relax and enjoy.

And Kenji say:

Good.

And he walk away with Haruka. She hold on his arm and say:

So Benji what you think of going to the beach?

And he say:

A change to see you in a nice and sexy swimsuit. I am not going to lose that for anything.

And she say:

Well you see me naked why you want to see me in a swimsuit?

And Benji say:

Because I want to.

And she smile and say:

Fine. So let's pack your things first.

And he nod and they walk to his room. In there they pick a bag pack and put some clothes in. And Haruka say:

I might get a nice sun tan. You might get one too.

And he say:

I pass that. Case you have forgotten I have too many scars to show up my chest.

And Haruka say:

Well we deal with that later. Now where is your swimsuit?

And Benji say:

I don't have one. Case you have forgot too I lived in Hokkaido. We don't swim over there with frequency. So my last one was too tight.

And she say:

So we have to shop you one. Well I could also use a new swimsuit.

And Benji say:

Well then we can go now.

And she nod and they walk away. Later in a shop Benji is with a blue shorts and Haruka say:

Well I would prefer trunks but you are looking good.

And Benji say:

Well I am keeping this one and you?

And she say:

Well I picked few. I will try.

And he nod and go change to his clothes. And a couple of minutes later Haruka come out wearing a white bikini and Benji say checking her out:

Looking good. But I think that a darker color would be better.

And she nod and walk back in. and she come out with a dark blue bikini and he say:

That one. Definitely that one.

And she smile and say:

I knew it.

And she walk back in and return with her clothes. Two days later in a airplane. Benji is playing with a gameboy advanced and Julietta say:

Gee Sachiko did Madoka have to lend us one of the company planes?

And Sachiko say:

I said that we would go to Okinawa and she took care of everything. She even rented a house for us. With maids and everything.

And Benji say:

No offence but Madoka is exaggerating.

And Kenji say:

Well I don't mind. Private plane, house with maids, one month of no expenses trip to Okinawa is perfect for me.

And Miki say:

Well is a bit sad that only us are going. Everyone else decided to go visit the family.

And Sanae say:

And you two?

And Miki say:

Mother is on a trip in China for business. My grandmother is in a priestess convention. Kumi is with my mother and Lyta is with my grandmother. So this trip is better than stay doing nothing in home or in the school.

And Sachiko nod. And Julietta say:

It only have Benji, the twins, Kenji, Sanae, Haruka and me. Is a bit too few people for a trip this big.

And Miki say:

Well Kimihito preferred to stay with Kazumi what can we do? So let leave the love birds enjoy themselves.

And Haruka is chatting with Sanae. And Kenji say:

Gee Benji stop playing that thing!

And he grab the gameboy and Benji say:

What?! Give it back fast!

And the sound of something dying is heard and Benji say:

I was almost finishing the game Kenji. I was almost killing the boss. I will now kill you!

And he jump on Kenji throat and the game fly and Haruka grab it and begun to play and Benji is choking Kenji who is trying to break free. And a commissioner say:

Can you please sit down?

And Benji sit and is now choking Kenji using the teen long hair. And Haruka say:

Here Benji I am in front of the boss room

And he look at her still choking Kenji and he say:

How you got there so fast?

And she say:

I followed the map. Now stop choking him.

And Benji let it go and sit beside Haruka and say:

Well if you gave the trouble of get back here I will end this. Then I will kill him.

And she give him a kiss and say:

Forget that.

And he sigh. Later they are in a house and Sachiko say:

It have rooms for all of us stay alone on each. But seeing that it have two couples in here it will have lots of empty rooms.

And Julietta say:

You and Miki will share a room?

And Sachiko nod and Julietta say:

Mind if I join?

And Sachiko say:

No.

And they move to the rooms. In Benji room Haruka sit in the large double bed and she say:

The mattress is so soft! And the bed is huge!

And Benji put the bags down and he say:

I thought that you didn't minded of sleeping with me in a single bed.

And she say:

And I don't. But in here we have lots of space to play in the bed.

And Benji say:

I know very well what king of games you are thinking.

And she nod and say:

That ones. So what about we go swim?

And Benji say:

We just arrived. We should unpack first.

And she begun to undress and she say:

We do it later.

And she drop her shirt and coat and is with a white bra and a short black skirt that goes to the middle of her thighs and thigh high stockings. And she take out the bra and she say:

What you are staring at?

And he say:

You go swim later I have another plans now.

And he softly push her to the bed. She let out a small surprised cry and he lean to her holding her wrists with his hands and she say looking up to him:

You are mean. You should give a warning first.

And he say:

I said that I have others plans.

And he kiss her. She just let her protest die on his lips and respond to the kiss. Way later the young couple is lying under the bed sheets holding the other and she say:

Well you was sure more intense today. I think that the vacations are making you feel better.

And he say caressing her left shoulder with his left hand:

Well in the school have that gate and I can't relax. And in here I can only focus in you and nothing else.

And she say:

Well we sure must go out of the school more.

And he nod agreeing. Few days later there is a festival. Benji and Haruka go see it, Haruka is wearing a light summer dress and Benji is using his normal clothes. They are walking with linked arms. They pass by the stands stopping to check in the ones that call they attention. And eventually Benji go try winning something for her. In a slight darker stand Benji see a necklace with a red jewel. And Benji say to the old woman that is the stand keeper:

How much is this necklace?

And she say:

That one is the red blood. Is expensive.

And Benji say:

Red blood?

And she say:

Yes. Is a mystical jewel with the power of the fire imbibed on it. A legend say that a red blood is a solid flame.

And Benji look at it and say:

How much?

And she say the price and Benji pay for it. Haruka walk to him and he put the necklace on his pocket and when she is close he say:

Found the toilet?

And she nod and say:

Yes. It was far from here. You mind of get me something to drink?

And he say:

Of course not. A soda is good?

And she nod and he say:

I will be right back.

And he walk away. Haruka look at the stand that he was and see a necklace with a yellow to green jewel. She pick it up and the clerk say:

That is the wind of verdure. Is a mystic jewel with the power of the wind.

And Haruka look at the stone and she say:

And what it does?

And the clerk say:

If you are aligned to the wind it will increase your power. If you are not it will be only be a simple jewel.

And Haruka look a bit thoughtful and she say:

How much for this?

And the clerk say and Haruka pick the money from a small purse. And she pick the necklace and the clerk say:

Of course that you can only find here the jewel with the element that you are aligned with.

And Haruka nod absent minded and she put the necklace on her purse and walk to the spot that she asked to Benji buy the soda. He come back with a can and he say:

Here it is.

And she smile and say:

Thank you.

And she pick the can and take a sip from it. They continue to walk. Way later they are walking back to the house and Haruka say:

It was fun. I wonder why anyone else didn't wanted to come.

And he say:

Me too. But I don't mind at all the time alone with you.

And she lean closer to him and say:

Me neither. But I feel a bit bad having fun while everyone else is in the house.

And Benji say:

I am taking lots of food for then. I think that they will not complain.

And she nod and they stay quiet for a moment. And Benji see the clear sky and the full moon and he say:

Haruka why we don't stay here for some more time.

And she say:

Here where? Okinawa?

And he say:

No. I mean here under the night.

And she notice the night and how quiet and beautiful it is and she say:

I guess that is okay.

And they walk to a small hill. Benji sit on the top covered by grass and Haruka sit between his legs with her back touching on his chest. He hug her from behind and say:

This night was great.

And she nod and say:

It was perfect. Everything was so nice.

And he nod and kiss the back of her neck gently. And she move her arms and hold his hands and she say:

I would not mind to live like this forever.

And he say:

I would love that.

And she turn to look back and Benji kiss her. She respond and they keep that kiss for long minutes. After break the kiss Benji say:

I bought you a present.

And he pick the necklace on his pocket and give to her. She look at it and say:

This is beautiful Benji.

And he say:

It have the same color of your eyes. Let me put it on you.

And she nod and he pick the necklace and she raise her hair and he unhook the chain and close it around her neck. And she let her hair down and he look at her that is now kneeling in front of him and he say:

It is great.

And she say:

Thank you. I also have bought you a gift.

And she take the necklace from her purse and she kindly put it on him and she say:

It look good.

And he say:

Thank you.

And she smile and say:

You are very welcome.

And he hug her by the waist and kiss her. She respond and he lean to the grass slowly taking her with him.

PRESENT TIME.

Benji drop the last empty bottle and wipe tears that continue to fall even with him trying to hold then back. In the house Reina look at a clock in the wall and she think:

Where is him? He is out for more than two hours.

And Aki come walking from the living room and she say:

Where is Benji? He is not in the couch.

And Reina say:

He left to make a phone call and didn't come back yet.

And Aki say:

Well then just let him be.

And Reina say:

You are not worried?

And Aki say:

I know him. He called someone and now he must be drinking over his sorrows.

And Reina say:

But then you should go after him.

And Aki say:

I don't have to. I know that he is around the shrine limits.

And Reina seem confused and say:

Around the shrine limits? But why? And how you know?

And Aki say:

First the trees he must be over one of then. Second he want to be alone and the shrine is a good place for the knowing where to go. And the last we are over a hill and he like to go to someplace high when he want to be alone. He said that he like of the wind.

And Reina say:

But why he is drinking?

And Aki say:

Just let it go and don't mention it.

And Reina nod.

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. The cell phone of Haruka is an invented number.

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.
