A Benji runs in the stage carrying Sakura on his shoulder. And he says:

I guess that we are safe for now Sakura.

And there isn't a response. And he says:

Sakura?

And he puts her down and sees her holding a sake bottle and he says:

You are drunk!?

And he looks at the sides and he says:

Damn. First terminator Maria and now drunken Sakura. It can't get any worse…

And a female voice says:

Of course it can!

And he grabs Sakura and leaps away from there. Four daggers nail in the floor and a blonde woman wearing a blue uniform says:

Hand her over peacefully or I will kill you. Risk that. I will kill you anyway only for the pleasure of doing so.

And Benji says:

Lachette Altair.

And she says:

I am flattered that you know me.

And Benji says picking Sakura up:

I haven't planned to us meet so soon.

And she says:

I like to make surprises. But I am also happy that in here you are only a miner. So you can't actually fight back. The writer power only works when the character has a power in the story. And you don't have any.

And Benji says:

I know that.

And he picks Sakura sake bottle and tosses at the woman that didn't expected that, he runs away. And he says:

Please enjoy the story!

And he leaves the stage with Sakura. And Lachette says:

Come back here and die like a man!

And she leaves the stage.

Teito October fourth 1927

 

Kaede wakes and found herself totally binded. And she tries to break free. And Ogami notice that his new victim is now wake and he says:

Good. Now we can begin the fun.

And she looks at Ogami his third eye shocks her and Ogami says:

You will be mine.

And he climbs in the table. Kaede eyes get wide with fear and Ogami says:

Don't worry. It only hurts in the beginning.

And he licks her cheek. Kaede tries to break free and Ogami plays with her womanhood. Kaede blushes tries to scream for help. Ogami ignores and he says:

Soon you will be begging for more.

He bites her nipples torturing the Fujieda woman. She cries in shame and fear not able to do anything else those tears seems to make Ogami become even more aroused. And he says:

Now the real thing.

And he places himself in her entry and forces inside of her half dry tunnel. Kaede scream of pain is muffled by the gag. Blood drips from herself into the wood of the desk and Ogami says:

Now it will get much easier with your blood lubricating it.

And he keeps moving ignoring Kaede moans in pain. Again Ogami say the same words that he said to Maria. Kaede feels her disgust for herself and for Ogami growing as she feels her body accepting the forced intrusion. More tears flow when her body sends to her brain the message of pleasure. Ogami keeps repeating his dark mantra looking with his third eye in Kaede eyes. She feels her body and mind getting numb as the pleasures rises. Ogami smiles inwardly seeing that the Fujieda will are shattering. He continues for a long time until he blast his foul seed inside her womb finishing his dark rites. As happened with Maria, Kaede eyes lose her shine. Ogami untie Kaede and removes the gag. He sits on the large chair and pushes it a bit back and he says:

Now my bitch sucks your master rod clean.

And she says:

Yes master.

And she kneels in front of him with a mix of her love juices, blood and Ogami foul cum dripping form her depts. And she began to lick Ogami rod. He places his right elbow in the chair arm and support his head on his hand and he says:

Now who should I get now?

Kaede doesn't answer too busy sucking on Ogami member. With out a warning Ogami comes again splashing his foul seed on Kaede face and he says:

Don't waste any. Even the one that dripped in the floor.

Kaede cleans her face with her hands licking the foul liquid. She moves her face to the floor and licks the mixed juices that had leaked out from her. Ogami smiles evilly seeing that. And he thinks:

I dominated two of then in three days. I need to regain my energy. I think that I will keep as it is for now. Just for now.

And he rest his feet on Kaede back.

 

December eighteenth 1927

 

In a small house in a valley Sakura is sited in a corner with many sake bottles around her and she is only wearing a plain gray kimono. Outside the sun is setting. And the door opens. Benji wearing a gray kimono with a same color hakama walks in and he says feeling the scent of alcohol:

God not again!

He drops a pickaxe and bag on the entry. He tosses his sandals away. He checks on Sakura and feels her pulse very weak. He picks her up and takes her to the outside to the toilet, he kneels her in front of it and inserts a finger on her throat. He feels her body tenses and he holds her hair. She began to throw up. The scent of the alcohol mixed with the stomach juices fills the air. She coughs when she ends and he cleans her lips. He picks her up and takes her back to the house. He lays her in her futon and gathers the bottles. He found ten bottles of two liters and all of then empty. He store then away and moves to close the entry door. An old woman is passing by and she says:

Benji-kun. How is your woman doing?

And Benji says:

She is not my woman obaba.

And she says:

She lives with you.

And Benji says:

Obaba who sold her sake?

And she says:

It was Shotaro from the distillery. He came here today with many bottles.

And Benji says:

Obaba mind of looking over her to me?

And she says:

I don't mind. But what you will do?

And Benji says:

Have a very serious talk with him. He almost killed her.

Benji puts on his sandals and the old woman walks in. Benji walks down the hill road. He easily sees the distillery near of the river. And he enters in there. And a male say:

Welcome. How can I help you?

And Benji recognizes the average height man with black kimono who talked. He grabs him by the collar and he says:

Listen to me very carefully Shotaro. I said that you would regret if you sell sake to Sakura haven't I?

And Shotaro says:

But I can't stop selling because you want to!
And Benji says:

You won't sell to her ever again.

Benji enters on the storage room and he picks a small axe and he breaks the top of a large sake barrel and tossed the man there. And Benji says:

Drink it up.

And Shotaro says:

What?!

And Benji nails the axe in front of his nose in the barrel side and puts on a cover on the barrel and he says:

To leave the barrel you will have to drink it all up.

And Shotaro says:

That will kill me!

And Benji says:

And twenty liters of sake would not kill Sakura? I forgot you don't care as long you make money.

Benji picks the axe and begun to nail the cover in the barrel and he says:

I will toss you in the river. If you want to float is better you empty the barrel.

Scared the man obeys. He faints in the halfway and Benji stops. He nails the axe on the barrel and leaves. Back to his house he thanks to the old woman and she leaves. Sakura is still unconscious. Benji fix the dinner for himself knowing that she will not wake for a long time. In the next morning Benji is on the mines with the others. And a man that is even taller than Benji says:

So I heard that you taught that fucker of Shotaro a hell of a lesson last night.

And Benji says:

I haven't done a thing. He drank all by himself.

And the man laughs and says:

You are a sneak one. But it suits him right. Your wife is drinking too much.

And Benji says:

I told you that she is not my wife!

And he says:

Come on you don't have to lie to me. Both of you are young.

And Benji says:

Come on Kenta even you don't believe in me?

And Kenta says:

I am only saying what I think you know me. But with the advance of the winter the mine will shut until the spring.

And Benji nods. After a hard day in the mine Benji walks to his house, there is some snow falling from the clouded sky. He founds Sakura curled up in a ball in a corner. And he says:

At least you are up now.

And she says with her voice shaking:

Where is the sake?

And Benji says:

I tossed it away. It is not doing you any good.

And Sakura freaks out. She tries to hit Benji, he only grabs her wrists, he moves his hands to behind her back forcing her wrists there. And he is hugging her and he says:

Alcohol doesn't help it at all.

And she shouts:

I don't want to remember! I want to bury those memories! I just want to die!

After two months seeing Sakura numerous attempts of self destructives acts Benji now is just full with then. He tosses the girl on the floor. She let's out a cry of pain and he leaps to reach in the beams in the ceiling. He holds into one and he grabs something in there. He let it go and moves closer of Sakura. He opens his kimono showing his bare chest. He rips open Sakura kimono top and he pull the shocked girl to him. He hugs her from behind with one arm pressing her back into his chest. Her breasts move in the pace of her racing breathing. With his free hand he exposes from the straw cover the arataka. He unsheathes the sword and puts the hilt on Sakura hands with the blade pointing to then. He holds on blade and aims the sword into her left breast touching it with the sword tip. Blood drips from his now open left palm. Sakura hands are shaking. And he says into her ear in a strong tone:

That is it. I am tired of this. I work all day long to give you some hope. For two months I saw you destroying yourself. Now I am also tired of living. I already know that you are coward enough to kill yourself. If you want to die stab yourself in the heart, but also kill me. If you have the guts to kill yourself now prove it also killing me with you. I will follow you in that path.

And Sakura says:

Let it go! You don't need to do this!

And she tries to release the blade from his strong grip. But he puts more strength in to it and deeper the blade sinks into his palm and more blood drips from it. The arm blood trails by the sword and falls in her white skin transferred by the tip of her sword into her body. The tip is not shaking like the hilt thanks to Benji strong grip. He pulls the blade to himself making the very tip of the sword pierce Sakura skin. She let out a cry of pain and he says:

Go on. I am willing to commit double suicide with you. If you want to die, take me with you.

He pulls the blade a bit more his blood mixes with Sakura blood. Tears flow freely from her eyes falling into the floor and mixing with Benji blood that formed a puddle on the floor. The clear tears mix with the red blood and he says:

Is death your true and final wish? I want a final answer now.

And Sakura tears flow more intensely and she says with a shaken voice:

No…I don't want to die…I don't want to die!

And Benji let go of the sword and Sakura drop the sword that falls into the floor. She turns and buries her face into Benji bare chest. She cries loudly sobbing strongly in his warm embrace. And she thinks:

Why he is so nice?! Why he doesn't leave me alone?! Why he can't let me die?! Why he is so willing to die with me…

And she hears to his strong heartbeat. She feels his strong arms around her naked shoulders, wrapping her soft body in a silent and warm promise of protection. The movement of his breathing softly rocking her small and frail body. In an unconscious level she times her breathing with his. Not even aware that in a deeper level her heart is beating in the same time as his. Feeling so secure in his arms she calms herself. Slowly she felt the pain, the fear begin to drain out of her. It was gradual, a process that she couldn't begin to explain, but still, she could feel it ebbing out of her. Every tear drop she shed rid her of a little more, each sharp sob cleansing her just a bit. Through it all, he quietly held her, his presence calming and reassuring. When the tears had finally stopped, all that was left was a strange emptiness where the pain had been, a hole in herself that ached to be filled. She rested her head against his chest, listening to his heart beat. Outside the snow falls in a more intense rate as if the nature wants to make then get even closer with the cold. She looks up to him and she moves her face closes of his. In the silence of the cold snowy night they share a tender and warm kiss. She moves her right hand by his left arm, her fingertips running by the strong muscles contained by the skin that shows that he passed by many hardships. Until her hand reaches her target, his left hand. She feels the rough skin of his hand wet by the warm blood that still flows from the deep cut on his palm. Her white hand stains with his red blood as she laces her fingers with his. Benji respond to that touch closing his hand over hers. Acknowledging that touch new tears forms on Sakura eyes. But this time the tears are from happiness. Benji move his right hand around Sakura waist softly uniting her sash. Gasping for air Sakura breaks the long kiss. Her cherry colored lips invite Benji to taste then and he gladly does so. Kissing her once again. Now sliding his tongue in her mouth. Sakura don't resist the unexpected intrusion. Sakura sash fall in the floor with the remaining kimono following it. Sakura moves her left hand and undoes his sash. She let's the kimono and the hakama fall feeling the warmth of Benji body with hers. Benji breaks the kiss and spread his kimono on the floor. Sakura easily understands and willing lay there letting go of his left hand. She stands her arms to him welcoming him. Benji enters on her warm hug. He kisses the non-shed tears still in the corner of her eyes causing to Sakura moan in a surprised pleasure. Sakura feeling Benji being so gently, so kind and caring is feeling the excitement grown with the eager to belong to that rude man. Benji slides his right hand by her inner thigh, she shivers from the soft touch holding strongly into him. Benji moves up his hand gently reaching her most private parts. Covering her with his hand Benji looks at Sakura eyes. She nods lightly letting him know that she want to him to continue. The blush on her cheeks makes her look even more adorable to him. Not aware that he is also with a blush. Benji softly caress her pussy with his fingers making the swordswoman moan in pleasure. He gently touches her feeling her wetness increase as he continues. Sakura kisses Benji. This time she inserts her tongue in his mouth. Benji responds to the kiss not stopping his probing in her private parts. Tears of pleasure forms in her eyes. Her wetness increases making his fingers sticky with her juices. Benji continues to please her faster. After few minutes knowing that he can't get her any more wetter he looks at her and he says:

Sakura it is all right?

And she wraps her arms around his neck and she says sweetly:

Nothing has felt more right in my entire life.

And she kisses him again and he slowly slides inside her. She moans with the insertion. Not wanting to hurt her Benji waits until she gets used to him. Moving slowly Benji reaches in a wet barrier. Both of then know that no matter how gently he is that will hurt. Sakura nods hugging Benji reading herself to be fully impaled by him. He hugs her to give her confidence and he kisses her, then he forces himself. Both of then feel the barrier breaks. And Sakura scream is muffled by his lips. She dig her fingernails on his back and ripping the skin there drawing blood from him. Benji don't move now fully inside of her. He breaks the kiss letting Sakura pant. He kisses her tears comforting the former maiden. Even with the pain Sakura respond to his kiss. After a couple of minutes she tells him to move. He slowly moves just a bit, Sakura moans now mix pain with pleasure. She is hugging him tightly and as they moves her nipples brushes into his skin giving her more pleasure. And slowly the pain leaves her cries making then very sweet to hear. The couple don't feel the cold of the room that turn they breaths white. And soon they climaxed together. Lying expend in the floor the couple snuggle close for warmth under a futon. Sakura smile at him letting him know that she will no longer kill herself. Benji tenderly kisses her forehead as if telling that he will be there for her. Still holding the other they sleep like that in the first night of snow of the year. In the next morning Sakura wakes founding herself still in Benji warm embrace. His soft breath turns white in the cold house. Sakura feels the coldness on her face but the warmth of the futon with they shared warmth makes her lay there lazily only looking at him for longs minutes. She removes herself from his embrace and from the futon. She feels the coldness of the air in her still warm body. She walks to the chest of drawers that she shares with him. She dress a kimono and a sash and she ties her hair in a simple bun using a hair pin that he gave her months ago during the trip to there. She picks fire wood and places on the fireplace in the middle of the house and lithe it. Soon the small house is filled with a comforting warmth. Sakura sees the forgotten arataka with Benji blood frozed in the blade fallen in the floor in the way that she was left in the previous night. She cleans the blood from the blade and sheathes it recalling his words from the previous night. She feels her heart warms with the memories of his decided words. She places the sword besides the chest of drawers and she gathers the fallen clothes. Even her ripped kimono. She places then near of the sword and she picks a pan and begun to cook. In few minutes the house is filled with the strong scent of food. And that wakes Benji. He looks around not understanding. Since he is the one who cooks there. He sits in the floor making the futon falls and pile on his waist. And he sees Sakura cooking. Surprised by it he says:

Sakura?

And she turns to him still kneeled in the floor and she says:

Ohayo gozaimasu anata. (Literally “Good morning darling”)

More confused Benji says:

Okay you just lost me.

And Sakura says:

I am saying good morning.

And Benji says:

Why you are up so soon? And why I feel the scent of food?

And Sakura says:

After last night I realized that I couldn't continue as I was.

And she places her hands flat on the floor and bow deeply touching her forehead in the floor and she says:

I still have much to learn but please take good care of me. (This phrase is usually said by brides or wives to her fiancés or husbands. I am not sure in what kind of occasions but a friend said that is on the first night of the couple. But it might be wrong.)

Benji blushes with her statement. And he says:

Sakura I guess that you didn't noticed that that is all that I have doing since I met you.

He moves to her and lift her to a kneeled position and he says:

You don't even need to ask me that.

And her eyes became moist with tears and he says:

Don't cry.

And she nods wiping her tears and she says:

Dress up anata.

And he nods and picks to himself a clean kimono and dresses it. While the food is still cooking Sakura says:

Let me see your hand.

And she picks his hand that is caked with dried blood. She cleans it softly and sterilizes it with warm water. And she bandages it. And he says:

You seen used to this.

And she says:

I have some experience.

And Sakura says:

You will work today?

And he says:

No. The mine closed for the winter.

And she nods and he says:

Don't worry. We have supplies that will last for the winter and money incase of an emergency.

And she says:

It is not that. I am just happy that you will be by my side.

And he says:

And I will always be.

And he passes his arm over her shoulders and pulls her closer to him. Sakura blushes with the gesture but accept it. And he says:

I guess that we need to call a priest.

And she leans her head into his chest and she says:

Why we would need a priest?

And he says:

Otherwise how we will get married?

And she blushes and her eyes get wide with surprise and she says:

Hai anata.

And he smiles touching the top of her head with his left cheek. They stay in silence enjoying the warm and pleasant silence. Two days later in the larger house of the village both Benji and Sakura are wearing wedding kimonos. Kneeled in front of a priest hearing the rites of wedding. The room is filled with Benji's friends and them families. And Sakura thinks:

Just two days and the entire village helped us to arrange the weeding. I totally forgot how people can be kind to the others when they don't have much. Everyone helped so much.

She holds back the tears of happiness that are trying to come. Soon the rites are done and a large party begun. Benji and Sakura change to a simpler but still formal kimono and go enjoy the party. And Sakura says:

I forgot how people from the country side join together in events like this.

And Benji says:

In this village we don't have much. But we are always willing to share with the others. Especially in happy moments like this. Our festivals may not be as fancy as the ones in Teito but they are very warm.

And Sakura nods smiling at her husband. There is dance and music and Sakura can't help in feeling a bit nostalgic recalling of her childhood and from the uncountable times that she acted in the stage of the imperial theater. But when Benji stands a hand to her inviting her to join the others couples in the dance those memories are casted away from her mind. The small festival that is they wedding party continues until deep in the night. Benji and Sakura walk to them house holding hands. Sakura is leaning in to Benji tired from dance for hours in the party, but very happy. He opens the door and Sakura gasp in surprise seeing many packs of food, clothes, some furniture and another gifts in the entry waiting for then. And she says:

Why this anata?!

And he says:

Our wedding present. In here people leave the presents in the newlyweds house.

And they enter in the house and Benji close the door to let the cold in the outside. And Sakura check the presents and she says:

It is too much.

And Benji says:

Sakura I won't say that I think that is not much. Because it is. People here are very close. They want us to be happy. And they give what they can and want to give.

And Sakura sees the two small trays for eating. A small desk and a small crib. She blushes at the crib and Benji says:

Well this is from me.

And she looks at him surprised. And he hands to her a large circular thing wrapped in a large pink cloth. With her hands shaking Sakura take it and unwrap it. She sees a large Japanese mirror and some make up stored in shells, tears forms in her eyes and Benji says:

Now you can take care of yourself.

The tears that she held all the night finally break free. She carefully places the mirror and the make up on the floor and hugs Benji. She holds his kimono by the front and kisses the surprised man. The kiss feels salty with the tears. Benji wraps his arms around Sakura shoulders. He softly force her down making her step on the floor with all her feet, since to kiss him Sakura has to get in the tip of her toes. He softly whispers her name as she looks at the floor embarrassed. He pulls her closer to himself and he kisses her deeply. Not expecting that kiss Sakura eyes open wide with surprise but she accept and respond to it. Benji right hand moves to caress her face, they break the lips contact but they still lick the other tongue. A thin line of saliva runs by Sakura chin as her blush deepens. They look at the other eyes and Benji touch his lips with hers again Sakura close her eyes to enjoy the feelings. Benji left hand slowly but surely opens his way by Sakura pink kimono in her lap area, her body tenses and shivers with his touch. Still holding her face gently Benji breaks the kiss with his face very close of Sakura's. A thin silver line of saliva connect they tongues together. The warm breath washing in them faces from they quick and shallow breaths. Sakura places her left hand over Benji right hand. As she gaze loving into his brown eyes. He slides his right hand down and moves her kimono to the sides exposing Sakura breasts. Her blush grew when he lower himself to her breasts height and bury his face between then, feeling the sweet scent that she has. She places her hands into his wrists as trying weakly to prevent him from reaching in her soft mounds that are his targets. Her will is easily conquered with a couple of licks on her nipples. The intense feelings made her cry loudly in pleasure and she hugs on his head trying to bear the waves of stimulus that he is sending to her. Benji hands now free reaches them targets easily cupping Sakura breasts. He easily fills his hands with her breasts and he fondles then strongly making Sakura cry more. Her tears long forgotten have stopped flowing. Benji softly bites one of her nipples ripping out a loud cry of pleasure from Sakura. Teasing her skin Benji continue to taste and enjoy Sakura breasts. Sakura holds into Benji strongly filling her hands with the fabric of his kimono trying to control the intense waves of pleasure that he is giving to her. His right hand lowers slowly forcing the way by the layers of fabric of her kimono. Benji reaches his target, but unlike before he founds that it is covered by a thin layer of soft fabric. He slides his hands over her panties band and softly teases Sakura most sensitive spot. Unable to control herself Sakura knees shakes and fail to support her body. She leans in his right shoulder still holding into his kimono. Her breaths now come in quick gasps. Unable to stand anymore Sakura slowly slides by the wall to fall sited in the wood floor of the house. Benji kneeled with Sakura slidded sited. Still with his hands inside her panties. Sakura legs are slight open outside the kimono. She is using white Japanese socks and the kimono is only covering the upper half of her thighs casting a mysterious shadow into the woman lap. And she says between gasps:

Benji…please…not…directly…

Benji only nods acknowledging her request. He removes his hand from her panties. His fingers are wet and sticky with her love juice. He touches on her again. This time over her panties. She holds into him again as the pleasure runs over her nerves. She pulls her naked legs close of herself pressing then into Benji arms as if trying to close then with him there. She cries more as his fingers slides up and down over her. Her face is close of his right ear and he can easily hear her cries in pleasure and the gasps that Sakura is giving. With his left hand he caresses her right breast and he licks her neck lightly. She raises her chin in ecstasy letting out a long and deep cry of pleasure. Her half closed eyes show that she is fully drowned in those feelings. She feels her orgasm build up inside her. Her eyes open wide and she thinks:

I am being too self-centered. I am the only one that is getting pleasure…

Gathering her will she pulls Benji away making him seat in the floor. She sees him still fully dressed and she buries her face in his chest holding his kimono and she says:

It is wrong only I get pleasure…I don't deserve it all…

And she undoes the knot in his blue hakama sash, she set free Benji stiff member. Her blush grew more intense seeing that for the very first time. She washes his member with her warm breath and she hears a gasp of pleasure from him. That increases her will. And she holds his staff gently and approach her lips closer of it. She reaches it with the tip of her tongue. She feels Benji body tense with that small caress, not used to the taste of manliness that she tastes for the first time Sakura gives it a big lick. Benji feels all his hairs standing in the end and his body tensing with the intense pleasure that runs up his spine. Happy with the results Sakura slide his member inside of her mouth. Benji closes his eyes controlling himself. Suddenly Sakura sucks it deep inside her ripping out from Benji throat a long groan of pleasure. With no skill at all and not a clue of what to do Sakura is only being careful to not hurt him with her teeth. Not knowing that in her inexperience she is driving Benji crazy doing all the right things. Kneeled between his legs Sakura sucks him strongly also feeling the strong scent from his manliness. Not sure of why it excites her so much. Her kimono covers large part of the floor but her legs are not covered with the fabric of the kimono between then. She moves her legs as if wanting to crawl deep into Benji, still sucking and licking him. Benji bites his lower lips hard to control the waves of intense pleasure running thru his body. Sakura love juices drips from her damp panties and also slide by her inner thighs. Unable to bear the pleasure Benji holds Sakura head pulling her closer of him. Sakura is a bit taken back with his actions but she continues to suck him now loving it. She gets in her fours still taking him deep inside her. He lowers his top half almost reaching his head with hers. She takes him out of her mouth and licks him. Benji softly pulls her closer to him and Sakura understand his desire and swallow him again. Reaching forward with his right hand Benji reaches her pussy caresses her from behind. Surprised with the feelings Sakura reattribute with stronger licks. Unable to restrain himself Benji pulls Sakura head closer, surprised with the burning hot jets leaving him into his mouth Sakura eyes open wide. She forces her head back and removes Benji from her mouth. He is still coming and it hits her face with his last two jets. Still recovering Benji lays still on the floor but his erection haven't even showed sign of dying. Sakura cough wildly covering her mouth with her left hand. Some of Benji white seed drips from between her fingers and splash into the floor. She raises her right hand and his come falls on it when she places under her mouth. The coughing already over she has few tears on her eyes of so hard it was the coughs. Sakura feels the slight bitter taste that fills her mouth, she looks at the floor and sees the small pools that formed when his come have fallen. And she doesn't know what to do with the seed that is still on her mouth. And Benji says:

Gomen nasai Sakura…daijobu?

Benji is panting lightly and Sakura is still covering her mouth. Benji gets up but Sakura doesn't notice. He places his right hand over her shoulder. Surprised Sakura swallows. And by a split second the thought that she swallowed his come crosses her mind. But it is replaced by surprise when Benji laid her in the floor. He inserts himself into her making Sakura shouts in pleasure and surprise. He is kneeled in the floor holding up her legs and thrusting into her hard. He licks her nipples making her cry even more. He easily rises her making her kneel to but she is sited in his legs with him holding her bottom, she wraps her arms around his neck to brace herself from the pleasure. Benji raises his right arm and grab her kimono and he moves her legs into his shoulders still thrusting hard into her. Sakura grab him by the hair being driven crazy with pleasure. She cries loudly in pleasure forcing her body back only being held by Benji strong right arm. He kisses her and she holds his face strongly forcing more the kiss. Tears of happiness and pleasure flow from her eyes. Benji breaks the kiss and still joined he turn Sakura around, she groan with the odd but still intense pleasure. Benji left arm is around her waist, his right hand is caressing her cheek and she turns her face and suck and lick his fingers feeling the faint taste of herself in then. She rest her hands in this legs, the only part of her that is touching the floor is the very tip of her toes. He is now holding her waist with both hands. Benji bury his face in Sakura loose hair and he licks the back of her neck. She cries even louder when he softly bites her neck. And Sakura hands are in the floor as he moves his body forward making her get on her fours. Turning Sakura again now the lovers are facing the other. She hugs him as he is lifting her legs. He kisses her deeply and she answers to it passionately. They both know that the orgasm in building in then. When it reaches the peak they broke the kiss and scream together in pleasure. Benji is holding Sakura face gently with both hands and she is hugging him strongly. By the second time Sakura feels him giving her his hot seed inside her womb. That increases her orgasm and makes her climax once more. Lying expend in the floor the couple is covered with a layer of sweat and Benji moves to aside removing himself from Sakura and lying besides her. She weakly closes her legs and snuggles closer to him. Both lovers had expended all they energy. She touches his right cheek with her left hand. He reaches with his right hands and wraps it around her hand and move it lower resting then in his chest. She looks at his eyes in a loving submission totally satisfied. Benji respond to her look with kiss in her sweaty forehead. She closes her eyes in pleasure with the contact. None of then have strength to do anything else that just lay there. After few minutes Sakura fall in sleep. Benji summons all his remaining strength and fixes her kimono covering her. He pulls a brand new kimono from the gifts pile and cover both of then before he also falls in the realm of the dreams. The couple lay there for a long time not waking until hours past of the next day afternoon. They just smile at the other and in a comfortable silence they begun to organize the gifts and to clean the floor that have become sticky with they juices. While Sakura fix then an early dinner or a very late lunch Benji is the outside besides a smaller cabin feeding a fire. Inside the cabin has a not so large bathtub, large enough for three adults easily bath there. The water is steaming in the cold air of the cabin as it begun to replace with the warmth of the steam. After a refilling lunch Benji says:

The bath is ready.

And she nods and she says:

You can go first.

And he says:

Wrong. What married couples do?

And Sakura think for a second and she recalls of her childhood and she says:

Bath together.

And Benji nods. She picks clean clothes for both of then and they walk to the bath. After close the door Benji begun to strip. Sakura blush seeing her husband naked in the light for the very first time. She gasps seeing his well toned muscles. And he says:

You also need to strip. You can't bath dressed like that.

And she nods. She places the clean clothes in a basket and she strips, she is a bit surprised to not see Benji studding her as she did to him. She places her dirty clothes with his in another basket. They walk to the bathing area and they wash they bodies carefully. Sakura sees the still fresh scratches in his back and wash carefully then to not open the wounds. Benji does the same with Sakura washing her body for her. She giggles when he tickles her with the washcloth. After rinse the soap with cold water she shivers with the cold. Benji hold her close giving her some warmth while taking her into the hot waters in the tub. She let out a very content sigh feeling the warm water coat her body. Sited on Benji lap Sakura is on his head level and she says:

This is perfect.

And he says:

I have practice.

And she smiles. She closes her eyes enjoying the warm closeness. She leans into him and she touches her cheek with his. And she thinks feeling him wrap her shoulders with his arm:

This is happiness. I would never think that when seeking death I would found a reason to live and my small piece of paradise.

And she rest her right hand over his heart, she can feel his heartbeat thru his muscles and by her palm. And she thinks:

It is so close of me. Not like before. That I could only watch from afar. This time my happiness is tangible.

And they share that moment for a long time. After the bath still with the bodies warm with the water they dress and run to the house covering the few meters that separate the house from the bath. In there they feel the warmth of the fire and it is not enough. Sakura sits by the fire and Benji sits besides her with a futon over his shoulders. He passes his left arm over her shoulders pulling her close. He wraps the futon over them closing they warmth in. Sakura rests her head in his shoulder, there isn't need for words. The silence is only broken by they rhythm and unison sound of they breathes and the fire wood cracking occasionally. The night begun to pours her mantle over the skies. Sakura begun to softly hum a tune:

 

Itsuka eien no nemuri ni tsuku hi made

dou ka sono egao ga

taema naku aru you ni

deatta ano koro wa

subete ga bukiyou de

toomawari shita yo ne

tadoritsuitan da ne

 

And Benji says:

Where you learned that song?

Sakura look up surprised and she says:

Song?

And Benji says:

Yes. You where just singing right now. It began like this “Itsuka eien no nemuri ni tsuku hi made”. It is very nice.

And she blushes realizing that in her bliss she sang part of the music that she would sing in the play before she runned away. And she says:

You never asked right?

And Benji is the one now surprised and she says:

About my past. About what made me jump of that bridge. I don't know if was by consideration or fear of that the memories would make me kill myself. It is time for us have a serious talk.

Benji nods and she says:

To begin with my name is Shinguji Sakura. I was an actress in the Imperial Opera Theater. And I was also member of the Teito defense force called Hanagumi…

And she tells him everything. How she met Ogami, the others and even how she used to live Ogami and Maria. And she says:

But when he said that he was going to announce his fiancé I was hoping that was me. But he chose Maria-san. As the others I couldn't accept not being chosen. I watched the wedding and after the honeymoon they began to have sex in her room that was next door to mine so I could hear it all. Two months passed like that. Until I wasn't able to take it anymore. I runned away from there and wandered to that bridge. Then we met.

And Benji listen to Sakura confession in silence. And she broke in tears. Benji kiss her tears and he says:

It is all right. I have figured that much. Not the defense force part and you have loved a woman. But I knew that someone had turned you down.

She hugs him sobbing in his shoulder relived with his acceptance. And he says:

Sakura that Sakura who was a star in Teito died in that river in the night that we met. The Sakura that I hold in my arms now it a new Sakura. A Sakura that I love. Nothing will change that. Nothing.

Her tears now from happiness flow freely and she nods saying:

Hai anata…

That twenty third of December will be always marked in Sakura memories. As the day that she was fully free of her grief.

 

Miosame village January first 1928:

 

Sakura and Benji as well the entire village is in the shrine to do the Hatsumoude. Sakura is wearing a formal kimono with her hair tied in a simple bun with the same hairpin that she is not using daily. Benji is with a kimono and a hakama both in dark blue color, contrasting with the many colors of Sakura kimono. And Sakura says as they move to the altar:

This amazing the entire village is here today.

And Benji says:

It is only normal. Since the village is small with only thirty families they all come here at January first.

And Sakura says:

If I am right most of the families here have three children. That not counting the ones old enough to live by themselves. So that makes about one hundred and fifty persons?

And Benji says:

Two hundred and seven by the last count. Add two more with us. That also not counting the ones that born from June and forward.

And Sakura says:

It is quite large when you stop to think. Around the street have seventy houses. But most of then are empty, only fifty are being used right?

And he says:

Yes.

And she says:

Then why we live in the mountain? It would be closer to you if we lived in the village.

And Benji says:

It would. But I like privacy. Besides the children cry a lot. And the most important you are a hell of a screamer.

And she blushes knowing that is the true and she says:

Excuse me anata but is you that make me scream.

And he says:

I know that. And that is why I like living there. So you can scream as loud as you want and no one will hear.

And she blushes a bit more. They pray and move to get an omikuji. Benji is buying then grilled ells and Sakura picks the lucky paper and she opens it and it says:

Very good fortune. This year holds for you many pleasant surprises, nothing will lack for you and the ones close of you. Happiness will be a constant in your life this year. All the enterprises that you will take will succeed. Your love with grow strong and intense.

Sakura smiles and fold the paper again and puts it on her kimono sleeve and she thinks:

It is very right. This year have much waiting for me.

And Benji return and gives to her the ell and he says:

Why the smile? Got yourself a good fortune?

And she nods and says holding on his arm:

A very good one.

And they walk away.

 

Miosame village January twenty second 1928:

 

The day has just begun and Benji is in front of the house wearing his usual dark blue kimono with a same color hakama. And he says:

Hurry up Sakura! I want to get in Kyoto before ten A.M!

And inside the house Sakura is combing her hair in front of her mirror and she says:

I am going!

And she decides to change her hair style for a change and she makes a bun but leave a large part of her hair loose forming a ponytail leaving the bun. She uses her hairpin to hold it together. She picks one of the make up shells and she opens it. She scoop some of the dark pink lipstick cream and she puts on her lips carefully, finishing with her make up Sakura leaves the house holding a small Japanese purse. She is now using a white kimono with a black sash. And she says:

Sorry for taking so long.

And Benji says:

It is okay. You are pretty so the waiting was worthy.

And she blushes and smiles at her husband. And they walk away heading to Kyoto. Later in that day they arrive in Kyoto. And Sakura says:

It is the first time that I come here. Is very different when comparing to Teito. So old fashioned.

And Benji says:

And it is good in this way. Let's buy those things that you wanted to.

And she nod blushing lightly and she thinks:

At least he didn't say that it was my undergarments. I am only with one pair of panties for two months. Washing everyday is no wonder that it ripped so easily.

And they walk by the shops, few hours later Sakura is happily carrying a large paper package. And Benji says:

I guess that we can stop for lunch.

And she nods. She loves every moment of that small trip. Later in that day they are leaving Kyoto and Sakura says:

It was so good! I like of Miosame but feels so good make tourism in a new city. I enjoyed it so much anata.

And he says smiling:

That is good. Since is winter we have lots of free time. During the spring it will be different.

And Sakura says:

I know. While you work in the mines I will make a field for us. At least we will be able to produce some of our food and spare some money.

And Benji nods and they make plans for the spring that is still far to come. Not aware of a man in black kimono following then from a safe distance.

 

Teito January twenty second 1928:

 

Ogami is in Yoneda office sited on his chair, his third eye fully open but his two others eyes are closed. In front of him kneeled in the floor there is Tsubaki, Yuri and Kasumi. The sannin musume are fully naked liking and sucking Ogami member. And Kaede is on her uniform standing in the other side of the large desk and she says:

We still haven't got any news concerning the last member of the Shinguji family. It is safe to presume that she dead.

And Ogami says:

Until I see her corpse she is alive. She is one of the two people that can vanquish me. And I want her dead. But I want to take pleasure in inflicting pain on her. Found her no matter what. Or my bitch you will suffer serious consequences.

And Kaede says:

Yes master.

And she leaves the office. And Ogami open his eyes a bit and he says to the trio:

Stronger.

And they obey thanks to his control.

 

End of the chapter two:

 

Benji and Sakura run into the stage and she says:

What is going on?! I want explanations!

And Benji says:

There is no time for that! Shit!!! She found us!

And Maria walks in the stage thankfully she is with the gun in the holster and Sakura says:

It was too much ask for some peace it wasn't?!

And Benji says:

Excuse me but we are in the same boat here! Duck!

And they dodge a flying knife that barely misses then. In the other side of the stage is Lachette and Sakura says:

So what we do now?! It is better you have some plan since I am your wife and you have to protect me!

And Benji says:

Just in times like this that you rely on me?!

And she shrugs and Benji says:

These disclaimers are becoming more and more dangerous.

And Sakura says:

Tell me about it.

And Benji sigh and he says:

Bye!

And he grabs Sakura hand and runs leaping to the audience. Maria and Lachette fire at then but they miss thanks to the chairs. And Benji says:

Please review the story!

And Sakura says:

And he wants to thank HaruNatsu for the review.

And they leave by the entry door.

 

 

Glossary for Japanese references:

 

Obaba: Is a way to call an elderly woman. It can be a way to show affection or depending of the tone can be an insult.

 

Ohayo gozaimasu anata: Literally Good morning darling.

 

Anata: Means you, but when a woman uses talking to her husband or lover also means darling.

 

Ohayo: It means alone good morning.

 

Futon: It a mix of mattress and a blanket. There is the thicker one that is normally used as a mattress and a thinner one that is for be used as a blanket. It appears many times in countless shows.

 

I still have much to learn but please take good care of me: This phrase is usually said by brides or wives to her fiancés or husbands. I am not sure in what kind of occasions but a friend said that is on the first night of the couple. But it might be wrong. I don't know how it the original in Japanese.

 

Japanese wedding rites: I am not sure of how is performed. That is why I didn't described much. But the couple has to wear a special kimono for it.

 

The wedding party: Another thing that I am not sure it happens or not. I placed the party as a small festival but I can be very wrong.

 

Wedding gifts: Okay let me admit I have no idea of how Japanese traditional weddings are. After all I am Brazilian. But an occidental wedding in a country side miner's village would be very odd. For the gifts I tried to make then gain practical things. As clothes and parts of furniture. The food is only to recall that the village is also a farmer's village.

 

Bath house and toilet: I am not sure how Japanese houses in that period were builded. From my small knowledge and thanks to the OVA of Samurai X I have a small idea of how it is the inside and the outside. I know for sure that the toilet was in a different place as the Occidental little houses of the westerns movies and others. The bath house is something that I improvised. I know that in Japan is very common to people take collective baths. And that sometimes was mixed. But since Benji and Sakura house is not close of the city he has a private tub and a house for it. I think that take a hot bath in the open when the air it is minus seven degrees Celsius is not something good or smart to do. The fire to warm the water. I am not sure of the real work of a Japanese tub. But I know that back then the water was heated with fire. I don't know how the water was heated to explain. But if the Japanese tub that I used to bath has a similar heating system with the traditional ones is more or less like this, there is a small chamber that is filled with water. The fire heat the water there, the water now hot moves out of the chamber by a pipe connected to the tub, the added hot water goes up and the cold water enters to replace the water that leaved the chamber and there is a continuous circle until the water is heated. But it can be wrong or be only one way of doing it.

 

Gomen nasai: Okay this is basic Japanese guys. To who don't even know that this means it is I am sorry.

 

Daijobu: Still basic Japanese. It means are you hurt? Or Are you okay?

 

Sakura song: That is the last two verses of the song called Dearest. Is from the anime called Inu-Yasha. Here is what Sakura singed. I chose that song because is a slightly sad love song. That suited the story and the scene.

 

Itsuka eien no nemuri ni tsuku hi made

dou ka sono egao ga

taema naku aru you ni

deatta ano koro wa

subete ga bukiyou de

toomawari shita yo ne

tadoritsuitan da ne

 

Until the day I reach eternal sleep,

that smiling face will

have to stay with me without fail

Back then, when we met,

it was all awkward.

We went the long way, didn't we?

We got there in the end.

 

Hai: Okay if you guys don't know this I have to wonder if you are really an anime fan. Hai can mean yes, okay, understood and more things.

 

Hatsumoude: Right after the new year the Japanese people go to a shrine pray for good luck and fortune in the shrines. It can be done for seven days beginning at January first.

 

Omikuji: Small pieces of paper with a fortune write on it. It can be good or can be bad. That is all up your luck because the papers are mixed in a container.

 

Miosame village: I created that village. I don't know if there is a city or village with that name.

 

The trip for Kyoko: In 1928 you really hoped to found panties in a forsaken village? Only in large towns like Tokyo and Kyoto.

 

Not mining in the winter: I made this up. In the winter the ground froze and gets hard to dig or mine. I am not sure it is really done.

 

Benji house: I haven't described it well in the story. It is more or less like this
