The Ronin the priestess
'The winds are changing.'
She stood in the cliff that over look her small village, the village was mostly made up of rice fields and wheat fields, they made their money from selling that to Lord Yamacha's city. She knew Lord Yamacha well, her parents had promised her to him as a child to keep this village safe from the Empire Of Cold which had ravaged many villages of this land to bring them under his empire.
The thing was she could not be with Lord Yamacha as of yet, after all she had a unique power that only the blue haired woman of her family possessed, she had the power or forsight.
Yet for her to keep her power, she must remain as pure as the snow she had once seen many years ago. No man could physically touch her, a man's touch on her skin would be fine, but a kiss, a touch of her breasts the unlimited touch, yes that would take her power.
Yet her powers were famous and last night she dreamt a hunting nightmare, visions came of things that could pass if she kept on her current path, there were many ways of stopping the future where flames of devastation reigned.
A face kept coming to her vision, a face she'd never seen but she knew he was the man who would change the wind.
…
There 3 men on horses, they rode with a flag with a symbol long thought forgotten, a man followed on foot carrying a huge bag of supplies on his back.
The lead man rode a black stallion, he wore purple amour, a black cape on his back, on his side he had two swords, his black hair was wild yet tied neatly. He had a small black beard and a neat moustache, he looked young, handsome, yet ruthless and sinister.
Another man rode a white horse with black spots, he had no hair, but wore spiked black armor with one sword at his side.
The third man had long black hair tied back neatly but it still bounced out at the back, he wore only a small faction of armour on his chest, he had no sword as he had not earned the right to carry one as of yet.
The last male was the youngest, his hair was wild and spiky and he was the younger brother of the long haired man, he wore simple rags as he was not trusted beyond carrying the supplies on his back.
They had traveller the country slaying the enemy forces, but that enemy was getting smarter and he was setting up armies to track them down to be where they were. Vegeta needed to know the enemies plans before hand so he could kill the Cold Empire and free this land from his reign.
The rumours had come to his ears of the forsight priestess, her ability to see the future would be useful.
" I heard the Priestess of the West has beauty that would rival all women's beauty." The bald one announced loudly
The man in the lead turned his head amused.
" Her beauty means nothing we are here for her forsight, I'm sure she know we're coming anyway."
" Do you really believe the rumours about her power? Even Lord Freiza is going crazy over the rumours it is why he put a bounty on her head."
The man at the front smirked as he kicked his horse lightly and trotted ahead.
" Which is why we need her power." He called back " If he fears her power that much then she must be worth having on our side."
The others joined him leaving the young man carrying their supplies to run behind them.
" Hey guys wait for me." He yelled out
The thunderous clopping of horses came thundering into the quiet village, adults held there children in fear as dust kicked up around them, but as the 3 arrived into the village a pure white horse passed them. A woman who's hair was blonde looked to them, her blue eyes met the lead man and she hurried ahead into the village. The man came to an halt outside the grandest wooden cabin in the village , as they saw the white horse without its rider.
The youngest man caught up panting.
" Phew, why must you leave me behind all the time?" He asked breathless
" It's good exercise younger brother, also you won't get your own horse till your first kill."
The youngest one sighed as they others got off their horses and handed him there reigns.
" Take them to grass, that shouldn't be to hard even for you
" The main man commanded
He walked away disheartened as he wished he was trusted more, the other 3 walked to the cabin, they met little resistance as they entered the cabin. As they entered the cabin, they saw it was decorated with candles and silk, a woman sat on the floor behind fire, she had blue hair and was beautiful. The leader knelt but eyes up the room, his comrades knelt behind him, the leader noticed something off but he said nothing. He eyed up a blue eyed woman with blond hair and another woman with black hair and black eyes cooking.
" Priestess of the West I Vegeta the Ronin have a humble request of you." He announced loudly
The woman behind the flames moved a little extending a hand.
" What would be your request?" The woman replied kindly
Vegeta smirked at the woman, if this was the true Priestess then she should know why he was here. He held his sword a little.
" Maybe I should be asking the real priestess that." He announced
" What are you talking about? I am the real priestess." The woman called back sweetly
She crawled forward to the man knowing as Ronin she touched his knee, but as she did she was kicked in the head by the blonde haired woman who took off a wig to reveal long blue hair. She wore a red band around her head with two bows to the side of it, she wore a simple white shirt and a long red dress, she had been the one on the horse.
" What are doing?" She asked the other blue haired woman " I didn't pull you out off that whore house so you can act as one here. You are to be my duplicate in every way and that means no acting like a slut."
The blue haired woman bowed to the other woman and then he got up and left the room. The woman looked at the men, she had seen them before in her dream but there was one face here she knew all too well and the one who could changed fate was here.
" Sorry about the ruse, I needed a double, she is meant to be taken my place as Lord Yamacha's wife but she has much to learn."
The priestess knelt and put her hands to her lap.
" It's one of the many arrangement I made, I knew of your arrival Ronin." The priestess said kindly " I know what you want, you want to use my power to give you an advantage in battle, to defeat the man who fears my power so much he would march here and burn down my village to see me gone."
She looked to the Ronin now, she knew he had come to take her by any means, but she had come up way to combat the worse case scenarios.
" So you are the true Priestess of the West? Hmm maybe I should test your power."
" Go ahead Ronin." She replied with confidence
" What does my future hold with you at my side."
She sat and her eyes met the flames she looked into them intently, she saw a future where she was his wife and they had a child together, she blew the flame forward to him.
" A wife and child." she replied bluntly
The flame showed a mother holding a child and the Ronin Vegeta looked stunned and he looked at the unease of the Western Priestess.
His comrades came forward now in excitement.
" What about the two of us? " They asked rudely
She grabbed the flame and blew out a skull to them.
" Death.. No unless.." She said mystified
She looked into the fire at another face, the fire change it's colour to white, a gentle soul could save them.
" Yes I understand, your fourth...Put more faith in him this white flame signifies success if you do that."
She even knew of that Kakkrot who wasn't even here at the moment and she knew of his future.
The Ronin stood impressed and laughed joyfully.
" Ah your power is vast no wonder that coward fears you. With you at my side I can truly free this country from his reign and spear your village too."
She looked up now a little shocked as waved his comrade off.
When they left he put his hands to his hips.
" Isn't it what you want woman? The Ronin Vegeta to protect this village as your Lord Yamacha can't do it? Isn't that why you're sending a double to marry him?
She stood now as she poured water on the fire, she sighed.
" The wind has changed, the path to salvation is you and you alone. I do want your help which is why I'll go with you willingly. However I must take my cook and herbalists Chi-Chi with me, she will serve us well. Also I will offer you a place to stay tonight, as I need to ready Marron to be sent off to Lord Yamacha's tonight even though I do wish I could train her more."
The Ronin tossed her something, she looked seeing it was a traditional Japanese Yukata.
" When we leave in morning change your hair and change into that. When come along with us, I want you to play the part of my wife. After all you have a bounty on your head so having you play that part makes sense. However don't worry I've heard rumours on how your powers work, I will not lay on a hand in thy, nor do I want you to treat my as a wife would. All I ask is you ride on my horse behind me and you answer to me calling you my wife at inns and other places."
Bulma the Priestess of the West nodded and called out.
" Yes I understand Ronin."
He then left and she breathed out.
' He will get the one to take my power, when this is all done no one will need my power again.'
That what she thought, but there were still many possibilities that could change what she wanted to happen.
