CHAPTER THIRTY FIFE: New powers.
All the members of the battle high is sleeping on the futons over fife rooms. Maria is the first one to wake and she see her room companions still sleeping. She get up in silence and she is wearing a yukata. And she walk out of the room and move to one of the trucks. And she change her clothes and she look around in the shrine and say to herself:
How could be? Just until yesterday we was so tense with a battle that could kill everyone in the city and now we are here, the world haven't changed a thing. The birds are singing, the sun still shine, the life goes on and all our sacrifice was unnoticed. All the senseless killing, the demons. It was like it was all a bad dream that faded when you wake up.
And she look at the peaceful area. And Sei say:
Well Miss Tachibana is everything like this now because we wall worked hard to keep it like this.
And surprised Maria look at the woman, she is wearing her usual clothes but with out the jacket. And Maria say:
From where you came?
And Sei say:
I was walking around. I come up the steps just now and I overheard you by accident.
And Maria say:
How you can take all this so lightly? How you keep the secret that in any moment a demon can attack and kill everyone?
And Sei say:
Practice. You think that the common people would like to know that in any moment that could happen? Live in fear that a demon will show up and kill the children to gain power? People want to not know this. People want to live in the ignorance, think that they are totally safe.
And Maria say:
I know. But it would be easier that everyone knew.
And Sei say:
Let me tell you a little story. Once upon a time there was this teen who wanted to help people against the demons. He traveled with his two companions. And in one city he heard that a powerful demon lord have kidnapped many children and it would eat the souls to gain power. Well he went to save then alone. His companions was resting from the long trip. He killed the demon and returned with the children.
And Maria say:
What happened?
And Sei say:
Well he didn't ask for any reward or anything like that. He was going away when the adults begun to toss rocks on him. He was not expecting that and was caught off guard. He got unconscious and he was tied over an abyss and left to die. The people was scared of the teen powers, after all he killed a demon so he must be one was the thought in they minds. They tied him with his right arm as the only thing sustaining him. His left arm and the legs was tied down. They tied him by the wrist and the elbow. He was left there for three days. After those days his companions found him and rescued him. But his arm was dead. He was almost dead too. His arm have started to rotten. The blood have gathered in there and was not able to circle back. It was swollen and black. The teen have only helped then and the people paid him back like that. Left him to die and ruined his right arm.
And Maria say:
And what happened?
And Sei say:
The teen lot his arm. And by magic it was given a new one. It reposed well the lost one. Everyone got worried thinking that the teen would try to get revenge. And to the shock of everyone he just said that he would not do anything. He would not bother to help people anymore. He would live his life and the others could live they own lives. But if they was attacked or kidnapped by demons let then die. He would not help. He was a good person who got paid for his good deed with fear and evil.
And Maria say:
What he did?
And Sei say:
Sometime later that same city was attacked by another demon a relative of the one that he killed. He was passing there and saw the demon and the people begging him for spare then and asking to the teen kill the demon.
And Maria ask curious:
And what he did?
And Sei say:
The demon said to him this, those villagers paid for your kindness tossing you in that abyss and leaving you to die. I am only doing what my brother was doing you really think that they deserve mercy?
And Maria say:
And what he said?
And Sei say:
Only spare the children. The rest of then you can kill. I will not stop you if you let the ones who are younger than me live. After all they didn't left me to die. Kill then all. The demon smiled and said, I will spare the children and the teens. I think that is fair for the adults pay for the mistake of repay a favor with insults. I by myself think that not even a demon would do what they did to you. And the teen walked away ignoring the cries for help of the elders and the screams of the children watching they parents be killed.
And Maria say:
He really did that?
And Sei nod and say:
Yes he did.
And Maria say:
How you know that story?
And Sei say:
I was one of the kids who was spared. The demon have fulfilled his word and left all the people younger than seventeen live. And when he killed the last adult of my city he said to us all who survived, this is all your parents fault. If they have only let him go today he would have acted and fought with me, maybe even killing me to save you. But instead of set him away with thanks and gifts they tried to kill him. And he haven't saved then to repay that. He risked his life to save you even that was not his business. Remember this he left then to die because then betrayed his good intentions and tried to kill him. You never repay a selfless act to save others with vileness. The fear of him take to do so. His rage make him turn his back to all of you. Only asking to spare you the youngest villagers who can learn from the mistake. Never hurt a helping hand. With that the helping hand can turn to the hand of your executioner.
And Maria stay quiet and Sei say:
I was very young when that happened. I was scared to death watching that demon killing my parents and my family who was older than me. But I also learned that he was right. In my city we knew about demons and everything. And what happened was when that teen who was a trainee of a demon hunter came to help we got scared and did that. If we haven't knew that they would not have tried to kill him.
And Maria say:
But why you don't try to take revenge?
And Sei say:
It will not bring then back. That teen was killed later trying to safe more people. The cause of his death was because his right arm that was given by magic wasn't strong enough. And many people was killed. A small city of the size of my on was destroyed by the demon before they was all killed. All the people in the city was killed, even the children. By my parents and the others elders fault one thousand of people was killed.
And Maria say:
But if people knew abut that they would fight back.
And Sei say:
Sadly most of people don't have the power for kill demons. Maybe a bunch of people can kill a weak demon. But the larger part of the demons are too strong for then. And the people who can fight then will do that. And will keep in secret. Let me tell you this, the witch hunt that happened in the inquisition was only a small fraction of the mass killing of people who could fight demons. They had special powers who could heal and give damages to demons and the church who knew that hunted then down with fear that the people would lost the faith in god and follow then.
And Maria stay quiet and Sei say:
There is things Miss Tachibana that should stay a secret. The true reason of the battle high, the guardians, the rangers and the attacks. If it leaks there will be panic.
And Maria nod. And Sakura wake up and notice that Maria futon is empty. She get up and begun to search for her. But in the unfamiliar house she get lost and end in the back area of the shrine in the woods. She look around and say:
Why I ended in here? In one minute I was in the house and now I am here. I should not gone search for Maria-san while I was still sleepy.
And she notice under a tree three sake bottles and see that is empty and she say:
What is this? Who would throw garbage in a shrine?
And she look around and don't see anything. And Benji hear Sakura and look down and think:
Why I can't stay mourning in peace for once?
And he leap down from the tree and in front of Sakura. The sudden move and the surprise make Sakura let out a cry that Benji muffle with his hand and she faint. Benji hold her before she fall and he say:
Good job Benji. Really good. You scared the lights out of her.
He hold her on his arms until she wake many minutes later. And she wake up and look around and she say:
This is odd. Why I am like this?
And Benji say:
You fainted and I am holding you so you don't get dirty.
And she look at him and blush intensely. And Benji say:
Can you stand?
And she nod and he put her down. And she say:
Sorry for the trouble.
And he say:
Don't worry. It was my fault anyway.
And she say:
What you are doing in here?
And he say:
I was over that tree resting.
And she say:
But why there?
And he say:
That is not important. Now is better you get back in the house.
And she nod and she say:
But why you was here alone?
And Benji say:
I just wanted to stay alone that is all.
And Sakura notice the light hint of sadness on his voice, in the house Benji see Aki, Sei and Maria talking with Reina. And Aki say:
Well at least you can regenerate your energy again. You almost got killed because of that seal.
And Benji say:
Tell me about it. I was there.
And Aki say:
Very funny Benji. You may have a death wish but case you have forgotten you are one of the two humans that can stand in a demon dimension. So we need you.
And he say:
Whatever. I am going out.
And Aki say:
Go where and do what?
And Benji say:
Out and is not your business.
And he leave the room. And Aki sigh and Sei say:
Well it was easier to handle him when she was around.
And Aki say:
Tell me about it. By the look on his face he will going to find some demons to kill.
And Maria say:
About who you two are talking about?
And Aki say:
Never mind that.
Way later in that day all the battle high is in the living room and Sumire sit in a cushion and she say:
God I am tired. Train that hard all the day.
And Aki say:
What you are talking about? We took easy on you guys. After all you are all standing.
And Ogami say:
But why make the sempais fight us?
And Julietta say:
That is to improve your techniques and speed. And also provide us a living target to practice.
And Tsubasa look to Hoshie who is sited looking very tired next to Sakura. And Tsubasa say:
Look I know that I don't know anything about mystical things and those kind of stuffs but what Hoshie did on the truck yesterday?
And Aki say:
Well you can say that she screamed really loud.
And Tsubasa say:
I know that already. But how?
And Aki say:
Well I did some exams on her tested her energy. And she have an rare ability to control her voice and change it in many frequencies and can be used to harm as we have seem or in a small way heal and help people. In other words she is an bard.
And Tsubasa say:
Okay explain to me in a way that I can understand.
And Aki sigh and Julietta say:
Listen is like this. Hoshie give out that shriek in fear and instinct that have waken her power, her scream was in a frequency that damaged the demon ears in the most internal parts. In a vulgar explanation she can reach frequencies that we can't hear and do things like break your eardrums or to inspire you to fight with a song.
And Chisa say:
Like a bard in the RPG games?
And Julietta say:
Just like that. It have others ways to use but those are the most basic ones.
And Hoshie say:
But that seem quite useless.
And Kimihito say:
Wrong. You have a very rare and powerful gift.
And the seniors nod and Hoshie say:
I don't understand why.
And Julietta say:
Well like this have you watched Record of Lodoss war the TV series?
And Hoshie nod and Julietta say:
Remember of that war priest that singed to make the warriors not fear to the roar of the dragon?
And she nod and say:
I remember but what this have to do with my power?
And Julietta say:
Everything. You can inspire a fighter to fight harder and for longer with a song. And the most important thing is that you can provide relieve for the worn out soldiers and raise the morale of the then.
And Aki nod and say:
And that make all the difference.
And Fuu say:
I don't understand why you try to make it sound good? I mean a power as the one that Miki have is better.
And Miki say:
Depend of how it is used.
And Sei say:
What attack cause more damage in the enemy steal the supplies of food, weapons, medicines or only attack the soldiers?
And Maria say:
Steal the supplies.
And Sei say:
Care to explain why?
And Maria say:
The soldiers will not have, food, ammo and medicines, the morale will drop as well the enemy strength will fall with the hunger and they will not fight as intensely with hunger and the low morale.
And Sei say:
Right. The attack to the soldiers would kill then. But they can be replaced. Continuous attacks in the supplies will make then weak and they will lose the trust in the leader.
And Hoshie say:
I didn't get what this have to do with me.
And Kimihito say:
Let me put it in a simple way. You can make the soldiers fight even like that inspiring then with your music and entrancing then with your voice. Knowing how to use your power you have a powerful skill. As an example you could learn how to seduce a rich man with your voice and make him do anything for you.
And she say:
Putting like that is not so bad.
And Reni say:
But speaking in leader where Benji is?
And Aki say:
He is walking around. I guess that he will show up when he feel like coming back.
And they stay there. Fuu walk out of the room and see Shuji sited in the porch looking at the sunset. And she say:
Why you are here by yourself?
And Shuji look up at her and say:
I only wanted to clear my mind.
And she say:
I am sorry to interrupt then.
And he say:
There is not a problem I was only looking at the sunset.
And she look at the sky and say:
It is very beautiful.
And Shuji say:
Yes it is.
But his eyes are not turned to the sky, but to the young miko in training. And the sun keep moving down and Shuji get up and he is looking to her and he say:
I am sorry that we are boarding in your house. It must be very inconvenient.
And Fuu say:
It is not a problem. I mean you guys saved us and Hoshie is here so it not a big deal.
And Shuji hold her hand and say:
That is our duty. And I am sorry if our presence is disturbing you and your family. We will soon depart.
And Fuu is blushing a bit and she say:
I mean that is not a problem at all. Two of you are my relatives and one is a close friend. Is all right.
And they stay in silence for sometime. And then Fuu get uneasy and her skin turn in goose-flesh. And Shuji say:
Haneda-san?
And she say:
There is something evil getting closer!
And Shuji pull her back covering her body with his and he put his hand over his sword and look at the stair way hearing the sound of heavy steps walking closer. The rest of the battle high arrive and they see Benji walking over the stair and Aki say:
Gee is only Benji. With that evil energy I thought that was some demon.
And Benji is holding a very large travel bag and he walk to then. In the ground part that is of dirt he is making deep marks on the ground. And Aki say:
Benji where you was?
And he toss to her the bag and he say:
I brought you some gifts.
And she grab it and fall forward not expecting the extreme weight. And the bag hit the ground and open a large hole. And Kimihito say:
Fuck! Benji what the hell is that?!
And Sachiko say:
And the evil energy?!
And Benji say:
Those are the weapons that I got today. It have enough in there for one army. Enjoy separate then Aki. About the energy some of then are really evil. I want those.
And Benji walk to the truck and Aki get up and Julietta say:
He could stop with that habit of kill demons for weapons when he is angry.
And Aki say:
Julietta and Kimihito hold this. I will talk with him.
And the duo nod and pick the bag easily. And Shuji say:
He could at least apologize for scaring us.
And Fuu nod.
CHAPTER THIRTY FIFE:

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.
