About Ayashi no Ceres
There is a legend of the tennyo (heavenly maiden), Ceres, a goddess who was bathing on earth. A fisherman saw her in the water, and then stole her hagoromo ('robe'). Without the hagoromo, Ceres could not return to the heavens. The man agreed to return it to Ceres, but only after she married him. She later gives birth to a child who was then able to find the hagoromo. Ceres was once again able to return to the skies...or so the legend goes.
In present times, Aki and Aya, twin brother and sister respectively, are taken to their grandfather's home for their birthday party. Once there, Aya notices a tense atmosphere among her relatives. A man in sunglasses presents Aya with a package to open. Aki opens the box for Aya, and an old, withered hand is revealed. Suddenly, images flash through Aya head and power overwhelms her as the hand shatters. Aya looks to Aki for help, and sees several wounds break out all over her brother. Her grandfather then demands Aya to be killed.
The hand was a test to see if the blood of tennyo existed within Aya, for the tennyo is out to destroy the Mikage family. Aya is indeed an incarnation of Ceres, but a surprised is that Aki is the reincarnation of Shiso, the fisherman who held Ceres' hagoromo. The twins, once part of a happy, normal family, are now divided by fate.
