The year is 972 A.D. in Kyoto, the capital of ancient Japan. Kyoto is turning into a corrupt and run-down city. Selfish samurai and onmyoji who care only about gaining political power are everywhere. To make matters worse, the city is suffering from famine and widespread disease. No longer able to ignore the state of the city, the Imperial Court decides to send Minamoto no Raiko, a famous samurai known for his archery skills, to recover a legendary gem said to hold mysterious power to save the world. But Raiko also falls ill to disease. Instead, his youngest sister, Hikaru, decides secretly to make the journey in his place. Hikaru meets many people and has many adventures on her trip for the legendary gem.
