Pre-story author notes:

This story is an altered universe for Sakura Taisen. As it will be told on the story it is a game being played. At least that is the very beginning of the story. Things might take odd turns as the story develops. But so far one thing is for sure. Ogami Ichiro won't be the leader of the hanagumi and I am not sure if he will appear on this story. Kyougi means game in Japanese the title of this story is Sakura Taisen the Game. But it isn't based on the real Sakura Taisen game.

Chapter one: Choice made, path taken

Vitória March tenth 20XX

Benji is on his classroom working among the other students working. "Benji you should be carving the ceramic not your hand." Valdir says to Benji. "And you are not feeling that?" Benji looks at his hand and the many cuts that he made on himself while distracted. "Not really. I will go wash my hand." Benji replies getting up. Benji moves to the men restroom and washes the blood from his left hand.

Benji sighs moving to the secretary of the school to get some bandages. After bandaging his hand Benji returns to his class. Once again Benji is thinking over Michael words. The hanagumi is dead and he is the only one who can help them. But for that he will have to give up of his entire existence on his own world to move to their world.

Benji cuts his hand once more before he decides to pack his things and leave with the teacher permission. On the Reta da Penha Benji thinks in what to do. Leave everything behind or leave the hanagumi and their world to die under the control of the darkness. Benji sighs not knowing what to do.

But Benji knew that he was being watched. He knows that somewhere in the darkness of the oddly empty street something is lurking waiting to jump on him when he is most vulnerable. That feeling is with him for months and since it began Benji always carried some of his hand made weapons with him.

On the next night Benji is walking to his grandmother's house since it was marked a special dinner. Thought he never made to it, because on that night the creatures who lurked on the dark decided to assault Benji. They charge in large numbers, bat like creatures as tall as a man, with long fangs and claws.

Benji draws his twin kodachis and fight those creatures while they are all wrapped in a mantle of sheer darkness. Benji eyes shines with an eerie blue glow while he slashes the creatures turning them into black dust. Benji continues to fight barely avoiding being cutted by the demons claws. Much later after exterminating the entire horde of countless demons Benji runs to his grandmother's apartment knowing that they would hold a party to celebrate the near ending of his prosthetic course. And the both sides of his family plus his friends would be there to celebrate on a barbecue and Japanese dinner.

Benji jumps thru the tall metal bars fence using it as leverage to reach to the patio of the building where the party would be held. He sees a tall werewolf there and everyone is unconscious. Benji barely lands over a flower-bed and using it as leverage to another jump this time to the werewolf.

The werewolf barely had time to brace himself to the impact. Benji drives two knifes on the werewolf gut before moving his body and stomping on the knifes driving them even deeper on the werewolf and also leaping back. The werewolf howls in pain as the amalgam knifes hurt him even more since they have silver on their composition.

A Benji attack again with a new pair of pocket knifes with fifteen centimeters blades. The werewolf draws two katanas and slashes Benji. The prosthetic ducks avoiding the attack and drives the two knifes on the werewolf right side. Benji draws another pair and pressing a button they snap open. Benji uses the instants of pain to drive the new pair on the werewolf left side.

Benji draws another pair. Michael looks from the mango tree of the building not so far from there. "How many of those he has on him?" she thinks. "So far he used six of them." Another howl of the werewolf is heard when Benji drives another pair of knifes on him. The werewolf changes to a more crowded area where Benji can't move as he is doing. Now they are in front of the lobby and few parked cars and a small square are on the landscape preventing the long dashes of the ninja.

The werewolf manages to drive the katanas on Benji chest. But that doesn't stop him. Rosetta wakes. "What happened?" she mutters with a headache. "I drank the punch and then all became black." She hears the werewolf howl and moves to see what is happening. She pales up and hides under a pillar and covers her face. "This is a nightmare! Has to be a nightmare!" she cries. "That isn't a swordfight or murder it is a nightmare!"

What Rosetta has seen is Benji with two katanas and four tantos on his chest while he nailed his kodachis on the werewolf forearms nailing his arms on the ground. Not mentioning the werewolf with six pairs of knifes on his chest, sides and gut.

Benji pulls a thirty seven centimeters long knife with four centimeters wide blade with six centimeters on the end of the blade and the handle. On that broader part there is a hole large enough to be placed a finger. Benji spins the knife by the hole and adjust his grip before nailing it on the werewolf neck.

Benji draws another pair of knifes. This one a pair of sharp half meter long triangles with a handle with a ring on the end. Benji drive those two on the werewolf heart. It stops moving. Benji moves to the side getting off the werewolf and he removes the swords and the knifes from himself wondering how he is alive after taking those injuries.

Benji looks at the sound of one person clapping. He gets one of the katanas and move to the direction of the person. It is Michael. "Very good. I am amazed to say the least." She says moving to him while clapping. "And I am not the only one right Ogami?" "Right…" a hoarse voice says. Benji looks to the direction and sees that the werewolf changed to his human form.

It is Ogami. "What! WHY!" Benji asks shocked. "I needed to be sure." Ogami replies sounding better even with all the injuries. "I needed to see if whoever was going to replace me was at least better than me. And I am not ashamed to say that you are. You have an impulse that I lack. You toss away honor and pride in order to win. You will do anything to win with out losing your companions. I can move on knowing that they will be in good hands."

Ogami fades in light sparks with those words. "Why?" Benji asks to Michael. "It was his terms." She replies. "He won't come back when we move back. He wanted to be sure that they would be in good hands." Benji bites his lower lip. "Your family is only sleeping. I have cast a spell here Ogami just stayed in the middle to look menacing."

"And the demons?" Benji asks. "Demons?" She asks back. "Yes. A horde of bat like creatures that ambushed me when I was coming here." He replies. "Benji I can't summon demons. Ogami changed only because he shaped his spirit." Michael pales. "The darkness used my passage to slip creatures here. They track the ones with higher spirit energy and on this world is you." She says.

"So if I don't go more of them will come and they will attack me and whoever is around me." He mutters. "This isn't fair. I don't even have a choice" "I am sorry." She says to him. "I never knew that this would happen." Benji picks his weapons. "How I am no longer injured?" he asks. "I infused a spell on you. More actively you fight harder to kill you be. Normally you will be even harder to kill fighting you will be nearly immortal. And you will regenerate all your wounds." She answers. "I have you an indestructible body to goes along with a strong spirit."

Benji sighs. "I need to get my belongings. Since I am not returning at least I want to have my things there." He says. She nods. "I have a magic item who will hold everything that you have and more." She replies. "Good." He says. "Benji you can't go!" Rosetta shouts running to him and holding him. "You can't leave!"

"You said that they would be unconscious." Benji says to Michael. "I guess that she is more resistant to the spell than I thought." She replies. "I need to leave Rosetta it is something that I have to do." He says to the young girl. "I don't want you to go!" she says. Benji pulls from his pocket his blue resin and glass claw. "I have to." He says giving to her the claw. "And when I left you won't remember me."

"Don't leave." She whispers crying. "Don't leave me." Benji leans forward and give her a kiss on the lips. "I have to." He says before pressing a point on her that makes her sleep. He holds her and gently lies her down. "Let's go to my place so we can pick my things." He says to Michael.

They move away leaving everyone behind. The only testimony of everything that saw everything and will see him leaving is the full moon. On his apartment Benji moves to his bedroom and Michael pulls a ten by ten centimeters box that absorbs everything on the room. Benji moves to his brother's bedroom to pick more of his things that were there.

When done Benji and Michael leave the building. "So when I leave there won't be a proof of my existence here right?" he asks to her. "Right." She replies. "Well I am not a thief but I think that I would need some founds to live in your world with out depending of you and the army." Benji says.

"You are planning to rob something?" she asks to him. "Well an ATM machine sounded good. Then buy precious stones with the money." Benji answers. "After all no matter where or when they are always precious." Michael nods. "Well I am not in favor with stealing but since it won't make a difference once you left let's do it." She replies.

Later with some magic help of Michael Benji bought one hundred thousands Reais that they got from two ATM machines. After securing them on his belt pocket he turns to her. "Let's go." He says to her. "Sure." She replies forming an energy ball on her hands that surrounds them with a bright light.
