A girl, Saya, is attracted to the Light and always has been. But at the night of the Kagai where love proposals are made, she finds out that she is the reincarnation of Princess Sayura, the water maiden, and a person of the Darkness. The water maiden's duty was always to still the Dragon Sword, a sword that could be fatal to the immortals, children of the God of Light, themselves. But as she rejects this fact, she becomes a handmaiden of Prince Tsukishiro, going to his palace shared with his twin, Princess Teruhi. He proposes and asks for her hand in marriage but she realizes he only wishes for the reflection of his unreachable sister from the water maiden. When a friend from Darkness is caught where he shouldn't be and is caged for the Purification sacrifice, Saya realizes her belonging to the people of Darkness and goes to the forbidden shrine where the Dragon Sword lies.

okay, this girl is found to be the reincarnation of the Water Maiden who is part of Darkness. It is really like Inuyasha, sorta. She believes herself to be in love with the God of Light's son, whatever-his-name-is, but later finds out he is in love with his twin, the princess. realizing she worships the light but is part of Darkness is confusing and later she desperately seeks the Dragon Sword which she could only sedate to rescue a fellow friend Toshiro or something. during this quest she meets the third child of the light god now known as C. Toshiro goes into a crow form and survives the fire that C accidentallly releases after Saya loses consciousness (saya being the main character). then they travel around with the Ground Spiders in a war against the Lights. Slowly, she and C realizes they are the two parts of one and their relationship starts developing but both (mostly C) are ignorant to. Then many things happen and the war ends, ta-da! but it is so much greater--the writer writes with such specific details and majestic flourish that your eyes stay glued to the page.
