Warning: Made some changes in history here. The reader is referred to as female and is a lord/lady of a fictional clan in a fictional province. Corrections and suggestions are VERY welcome.

A lady stood proudly in front of her castle, basking in the rays of the sun. She bears the mark of a dragon spreading it's wings on her back: her family's symbol.

The lady was no other than the current head of the Daigō clan, Daigō (F/N). Being the only child of the deceased Daigō Shironome and Reikohime, she had a lot of responsibility on her hands when her father suddenly made her the head of the clan before passing away.

The Iesha province is well-known for being the home of many skilled archers, including the ruling Daigō clan. That's why the Daigō army is composed of mostly archers who can adapt to most situations. The lady Daigō is of no exception; she can shoot through another arrow in the middle, splitting it in two.

"Milady," A man stepped out of the castle, calling out to the lady basking in the sun's radiance and bowing in respect. "we've received reports of a man, known as the One-Eyed Dragon, making his way to Iesha, along with his army."

(F/N) whistled, "'One-Eyed Dragon', huh?" She smiled and looked at the retainer, "Get our troops ready. We'll have a short meeting with them." The man replied with a 'Hai!' and left to do as she ordered.

Looking at the sky, the lady Daigō sighed, "'One-Eyed Dragon'......" She repeated the name, and walked back inside the castle with an irritated expression on her face.

"Sorry, buddy, but there can only be one dragon in this country." (F/N) growled, grabbing her two swords from their places.

"And that's me: the Raging Dragon of Iesha, Daigō (F/N)!"

-

Hotblooded (e/c) eyes and one azure eye* met each other from across the field.

"Is that him?" (F/N) breathed out, never looking away from the man sporting a helmet with a crescent on it.

"Yes, milady." The retainer from earlier replied, "He's the lord of Oshu, Date Masamune."

"One-Eyed Dragon...." The lady Daigō hummed, scanning him all over, before making her horse run towards them.

The lord of Oshu made the same movement, moving closer until their horses circled each other.

"May I ask what you're doing here, sir?" (F/N) questioned, gently smiling at the brunette.

"Just passing by." Masamune grinned in response, "Didn't expect meeting with another army here, though."

"Nice handlebars." The lady Daigō commented on his horse's unusual accessory.

"Thank you. Had them made for this guy myself." The lord of Oshu laughed.

The tension was high in the air, and (F/N) could faintly hear her trusted retainer saying prayers.

(F/N) put her horse to a stop, and so did Masamune, "Leave. Now." She snarled, getting ready to pull out one of her swords.

"Sorry, but I still have some business to take care of." The brunette smirked and pulled out a sword, hopping off his horse and swinging it in her direction.

(F/N) made her horse move away in time and hopped off it, Masamune and her horses retreating to each side. Before Masamune could land another attack on her, she pulled out one of her swords and blocked his attack, standing her ground. The lord of Oshu whistled, "You're a tough one." He commented, "And not a fan of skimpy armor, I see."

"I could get stabbed if I even show one portion of skin on my body." She quickly replied, pushing Masamune's blade off hers.

The Date army cheered on for their leader, while the Daigō army screamed for their leader not to get killed, the loudest being (F/N)'s retainer, who was scolding her for her recklessness.

As their blades clashed again and again, (F/N) felt so excited yet irritated at the man she clashed blades with. Masamune, however, was having the time of his life, not feeling any irritation at all.

The both of them were panting and wiping the sweat off their faces, at one point Masamune had taken off his helmet and took out all of his 6 swords, while (F/N) had pulled out her other sword. "Date Masamune," She started, pointing one of her swords at him, "remember this: there can only be ONE dragon of this country, and that dragon is ME!" The lady Daigō cried, lunging at him with all she had, "The Raging Dragon of Iesha, Daigō (F/N)!"

Sounds of steel clashing against steel once again filled the area. "You've got spirit, woman!" Masamune laughed, blocking and dodging (F/N)'s flurry of attacks. When she jumped away and charged at him again, he grinned. "Don't forget this, Raging Dragon! This is the power of the One-Eyed Dragon!" The lord of Oshu ran towards her, and for the last time, the swords clashed against one another.

Their power going against each other resulted in a blinding light and an explosion, making the two armies run for cover. Once the light subsided, lady (F/N)'s retainer cried out when he saw that she lay on the ground, face down. Masamune's retainer did the same, but was cut off when he slowly stood up, as did (F/N).

"W-we'll finish this another day, dragon lady. I still have another battle to go to." Masamune smirked and walked off to where his army was.

"Don't call me that, lord of Oshu." (F/N) scowled and did the same.

Both armies went back to where they came from.

"Milady, are you alright?" The Daigō retainer asked, bringing along with him a bottle of sake and a cup. "Is it really okay for you to be drinking alcohol in your state?" He sighed, sitting down beside his lady and pouring her a cup.

"I'll be fine, Ryohei." (F/N) smiled at him, graciously accepting the cup and taking a sip. "Stupid Date..." She muttered. Ryohei watched silently as (F/N) kept on muttering bitterly about her battle with the lord of Oshu.

"Lady (F/N), please don't be so reckless like that ever again.." He breathed out, pouring another cup of sake for his lady, "You don't need to have any unnecessary battles."

The lady Daigō chuckled, "Recklessness is in my blood, Ryohei." Her expression turned into a serious one when she looked up at the stars in the sky. "One-Eyed Dragon..." She mumbled, the cup in her hands vibrating.

Ryohei started to question her, but was cut off when the sake cup dropped to the ground and spilled its contents on the floor. "Lady (F/N)!" He exclaimed, but when he saw her peaceful expression, he sighed and walked off to find cleaning materials.

"I hope to meet him again." (F/N) smiled dreamily as a blush crept up her cheeks.
