Hi this is Benji Himura. I am now starting a new Sakura Taisen/Wars fanfic. Unlike my first one this one happens in the 1920s. I don't own Sakura Taisen or any of the characters. 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 be 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.

Light goes on and shows a stage and a tall man with long black hair tied on the base of his head, wearing a dark blue pants, vest and shirt walks in and says:

Hi everyone I am Benji Himura the writer and character of this story. This is my new Sakura Taisen/wars fic. Well not so new one. Since I was facing a problem after moving away from my old place my internet access was removed. Since I am with a partial writers block I am working again on Young blood. Sadly I am not being able to put Battle high back on the tracks. Since I worked a lot in Time warrior and I am writing slowly Flower case trying to build a good story. I decided to take a break on then and retake over one of my firsts stories and honestly my favorite one.

He make a pause and pull a paper of his vest inner pocket and he says reading it:

My character always change on the story. The only constant thing is my name and the hunters. The RV means Revised Version. I means that I am rewriting my Young blood story. I am making changes on the story. Adding new ideas and removing few ones. I am keeping the original Young blood on the site. I am also adding sex scenes. But to keep it PG-13 I am making under a new name. Young blood RV love cuts. As the sex scenes appear there will be a warning on the story and I will create a small chapter with it and place it on the story with the name and the number of the chapter were it belongs. So the pairings that will get in a more intimate relation will be there

He folds the paper and puts back on his pocket and he turns to leave and he stop and says:

One more thing. I was almost forgetting this. English is not my first language. So might have some misspellings or grammatical errors on the story. Please ignore it. I hope that you enjoy the story.

And he bows to the audience and walks away.

Chapter two: Meetings

1924 April twenty eighth Yokoyama.

The military ship docks on the navy base near of Yokohama. Benji leaves with his bag pack and Kaede walks behind him and she says:

I will deal with the others details of the arrival. You go to the train station and pick the train to Teito. I will ask to a member of the kazegumi pick you up there.

And Benji says:

Fine.

And he walks away. A half hour later he is on the train that is on the middle of the trip. Benji looks at the scenery and he thinks:

I hate travel like this. In all times that I traveled like this I end in a combat during it.

But that trip is quiet one Benji arrive at Teito train station at the noon. And he thinks:

Kaede said that the person would arrive in the tops one hour after the train arrived. Well let's wait.

And he leans on a post with a clock on it and wait. Way later on that day Benji checks on his wrist watch and say:

Come on she is very late. I am here for two hours. I think that she is not coming.

And Benji leaves the station. As soon he leaves a Tsubaki comes running inside the stations and she says:

Why the traffic so bad just when I need to pick someone up?! I did the same thing with Sakura!

And she looks around trying to found a person who fits the description that Kaede gave to her by phone. And she gets closer of a police officer and she says:

Excuse me did you saw a tall man with tanned skin, long black hair and occidental clothes?

And the officer says:

Sure. He was waiting under the clock until a couple minutes ago. But he left for Ginza district.

And Tsubaki says:

Thank you!

And she runs after him and she thinks:

First Sakura, then this new guy. Why can't do this right?

And she leaves the station with hopes of founding him on the crowd. Because by Kaede description he is taller than Maria but shorter than Kanna. And with tanned skin he would show up a lot on a crowd of shorter and lighter people. Meanwhile inside a café Benji is having lunch and unaware of a short brown haired girl seeking for him who just passed by the café. After a half hour Benji is paying his meal on the café counter and the clerk a young woman asks to him:

Sir just by curiosity you are related to Kirishima Kanna?

And Benji says:

Related to whom?

And the clerk says:

Kirishima Kanna. She is one of the actresses of the imperial opera troupe. She is very tall and tanned too. So I thought that might be a relation.

And Benji says:

Well I am not related to anyone called like that.

And she says:

Sorry to bother.

And he says:

No problem.

And he walks away. And Benji thinks:

Okay I have the address and now that I already ate I can go after that imperial defense force.

And he moves by the streets. On the theater Tsubaki is on Yoneda office and she says:

Sorry sir! I screwed up again! I got late because there was an accident on the streets!

And Yoneda says:

You seem to be turning this in a habit Tsubaki. But you couldn't help. So I will not punish you. At least Kaede gave him the address of the theater. I just hope that he founds his way here.

And Tsubaki says:

But if happens like when Sakura arrived here. She got in the middle of the play and caused lots of trouble.

And Yoneda says:

Well I am hopping for your sake Tsubaki that he has some common sense. As his grandfather had and he will not poke around. Because even if he does it is not his fault since he doesn't know the place. And if that happens you will be punished for getting late.

And she says:

Yes sir.

And she is on the verge of tears and Yoneda says:

You can go now. Gather everyone on the meeting room I will give then the news.

And Tsubaki nods and leaves. Fife minutes later in the briefing room of the underground base. Ogami says to Yoneda:

All the members of the hanagumi are present sir!

And Yoneda says:

Good. Take our seats.

And they obey and Yoneda says:

Well to begin with this meeting I will explain why Kaede traveled three month ago.

And they nod and Yoneda says:

Since the new enemy begun the attacks I could notice that we are having a hard time facing it. Since I fear for your safety I asked to an old friend who owns me a favor to send help. And he did. Kaede traveled to found my friend and pass message and bring the help back. Once here we would add him to the hanagumi to help you all to fight.

And Sumire says:

We don't need help sir. We are holding the enemy just fine.

And Reni says in a neutral tone:

One week in the hospital and two weeks of repairs in the koubu is not fine.

And Sumire blushes and Maria says:

And that person is strong?

And Yoneda says:

Well it should be. Kaede send me a report telling that he is.

And Ogami says:

And when will arrive?

And Yoneda says:

To be honest Tsubaki should have brought him here. But as happened with Sakura she got late and they haven't meet.

And Sumire says:

If something like that doesn't happens again I am happy.

And Yoneda says:

This is all. You all can leave.

And they leave. And Sakura says:

A new member it will be good having a new companion.

And Orihime says:

I just hope that this new woman is at least effective.

And Kohran says:

I want to see her koubu.

And Iris says:

Iris can't wait to make a new friend.

And they seemed to not notice that Yoneda said him. And Maria says:

Train a new member from zero again. It will be hard.

And Ogami says:

Cheer up. This time we are in nine so it will be way easier.

And Maria shrugs. Sometime after the sunset Benji is walking on the unfamiliar streets of Teito. And he is close of the theater. And he is reading the numbers of the buildings and he stop on the theater and says:

Well this is it.

And he sees a plaque saying imperial theater and he gets very confused. And he says:

Why has a theater here? It is the right address.

And he walks in and he hears the sound of singing coming from a door, the entry is empty. And looks around and move to a door but he stops and think:

There is music coming from there. It is better not enter in there.

And he walks back and waits for a while. After a half hour Kasumi walks by and Benji walks to her and says:

Excuse me. Do you work in here?

And she says:

Yes I do. Why?

And he says:

Thank god. I would be very embarrassed if you didn't.

And she says:

How can I help you?

And he says:

I am searching for Yoneda Ikki. Where I can found him?

And she says:

The manager? What are your businesses with him?

And Benji say:

He send a letter to my grandfather and ask for me come in here. I don't know much more than this.

And she says:

Okay. I will take you to him. Please follow me.

And he nod and follow her. They walk for sometime and she stops in front of a big wood door and knocks in it and says:

Manager Yoneda. There is a man in here wanting to see you.

And a voice from inside say:

Let him in.

And she open the door and say:

Please go in.

And he says:

Thank you.

And enter, she close the door and he see a man sited in a big chair, Benji notice a woman on his right side behind a desk and the man say:

So you are Himura Benji. You are different from your grandfather.

And Benji says:

We are not the same. But mind of explain to me why I was brought here? Kaede haven't told me.

And Yoneda says:

I see. Well what she told you?

And Benji says:

That the city is under attack and I am here to help the imperial defense force.

And Yoneda says:

That is right. You must be wondering why I am on a theater, right?

And Benji says:

That thought crossed my mind.

And Yoneda says:

This theater is a cover for a military facility. All the actresses are members of the imperial defense force. Most of the workers too. We are a secret group that protects his city and the country. I am guessing that you have a theory for why the opera troupe.

And Benji says:

Purify and raise the spirit?

And Yoneda says:

Yes. Like the traditional Japanese plays. We use the plays to improve the spirit of then. Not like the extreme training of a hunter that raises the spirit by placing you face to face with the death.

And Benji says:

Well you must say that the hunter training is very effective. I don't know about this plays. And how much they affect. But I am sure of how effective the hunter training is.

And Yoneda says:

Leaving that aside. You will be not be fighting like you are used to. Most of the enemies that we face are two to three times taller than a human. So you will be using a special armor called koubu.

And Benji says:

Look I am used to face enemies larger, taller and stronger than me with out any armor.

And Yoneda says:

But you will be using. I will formally introduce you to the others member after the play ends. Meanwhile you can begin to unpack.

And Yoneda calls Kasumi and she takes Benji away. She takes him to an empty room that only have inside the furniture and she says:

I will be back in one hour and a half.

And Benji nods. He get inside the room and he sees a double size bed, a nightstand, a chest of drawers, a book shelf, a desk with a chair, a build in closet, a small two doors wardrobe and a comfortable looking armchair. Benji toss his bag pack on the bed and take his sword from it and places it beside the bed and he places it on the nightstand. He take his clothes and put the t-shirts on the first drawer of the chest of drawers and he place the pants, social shirts, jackets, vests and shoes on the closet. He put a couple of books on the empty shelf and a couple of photo albums on the nightstand. He dumps his under shorts on the third drawer of the chest and he tosses his empty bag pack on the wardrobe. And he arrange a bit his underwear and socks on the drawer. Seeing that all that only took him a half hour he lays on the bed and wait. After one hour Kasumi enters on the room and she says:

It is time to meet your new companions.

And Benji sits on the bed and says:

Good.

And he follows the brown haired girl. And after a couple of minutes they arrive on the meeting room. And Kasumi knocks on the door and they hear Yoneda voice says:

Come in.

And Kasumi enters first and Benji follow and he hear Yoneda says:

And this is your new team member Himura Benji.

And there is a couple of seconds of silence. Benji was beginning a hello when Orihime bust with a protest saying:

A man?!

And now the room is filled with protests. And Kasumi whisper to Benji:

They were expecting another girl.

And Yoneda says:

Silence!

And they obey. And Yoneda says:

What kind of first impression you guys are giving now?

And they stay in silence embarrassed and Yoneda says:

Well let's introduce you to then. Benji, the male in white is Ogami Ichiro, the tall red haired is Kirishima Kanna, the tall blonde is Tachibana Maria, the one with brown hair and purple uniform is Kanzaki Sumire, the black haired one with pink uniform is Shinguji Sakura, the one with glasses and green uniform is Li Kohran, the short blonde in yellow is Chateaubriand Iris, the brunet with tanned skin is Soletta Orihime, the silver haired one is Milchstrasse Reni. They are the hanagumi.

And he points to the kazegumi and says:

You already know Fujii Kasumi, the one with short brown hair is Sakakibara Yuri, and the one with short dark brow hair is Takamura Tsubaki. And you already know Fujieda Kaede.

And Benji says:

Hi.

And Yoneda says:

Before the questions I will explain. Benji have a good level of spiritual energy. So I called him to help us in defending Teito. He is also very skilled in combat and he has real combat experience against humans and demons.

And Maria says:

What is his rank?

And Yoneda says:

He was not from the military. But if I was not wrong was captain, right?

And Benji nod and says:

But there was not much with military.

And Yoneda says:

He will work as the security of the theater as well a handy man. On the team he is like the others girls so he will be under Maria and Ogami command. But you two try hearing if he gives an advice.

And the duo nod. And Yoneda says:

Well now you are all free to know the other better.

And Yoneda leaves and Orihime says:

I can't believe another Japanese man!

And Benji says:

I am not Japanese.

And Orihime says:

You look like one, act like one and talk like one.

And Benji says:

I am Brazilian. My grandfather is Japanese. And that is all.

And Kanna says:

Well I thought that you were from Okinawa. You are sure tall. But you are still under me.

And Benji says teasing:

Only by a couple of centimeters.

And Kanna smile and she says:

I like your spirit.

And Orihime walks away ignoring Benji who was close of the door, she gives him a push to aside and walks away. And Ogami says:

Sorry. She is quite moody.

And Benji says:

Italians are like that.

And taking out Maria and Sumire the others interrogate Benji intensely. And few minutes later Ogami says:

So did you learned how to walk around here?

And Benji says:

No, so far I moved following Kasumi.

And Ogami says:

Well I will show you around. It will be good not the only man around here.

And Ogami and Benji leave. And Sumire says:

A new guy, I can't see why bring a new member.

And Maria says:

He must be good or the enemy strong. In any case is always good have more troops than your enemy.

And Sakura says:

I wonder how the things will be from now on.

Later they have a quiet dinner and Orihime says:

Well you are for sure Japanese. You are too habile with chopsticks for being occidental.

And Benji says:

To your information annoying princess I was raised eating Japanese food with chopsticks.

And Orihime fumes and Kanna chuckle trying not to choke with her food. And Sakura says:

Benji-san how is on your homeland?

And Benji says:

Hot. Nice. Dangerous. Lots and lots of beaches. Well have more things. But that resume most of it.

And Sakura says:

How hot?

And Benji says:

Well regularly on the summer gets around 35 degrees Celsius. Sometimes even on forty.

And Sakura says:

That is too hot!

And Benji says:

It is.

And even Maria eyes get wide. And the dinner runs smoothly. And later they move to the rooms to sleep.

End of the chapter two:

And Benji walk in the stage on his battle clothes and he says:

Well, I hope that you all have liked it. So far the story is very different from the original one. More changes will come.

And he makes pause and says:

And Kasumi walks in and say:

We would like to thank to all the people that might be reading. And to HaruNatsu for the review.

And Benji says:

Romantic pair's suggestions will be heard. Except yaoi. Those will be ignored.

And they bow to the audience and say:

Thank you for reading.

And they leave the stage the curtains fall and the light fades.
