Many years ago, a ninja by the name of Kagetora devoted his life to defending a princess. Both he and the Princess Beni were attacked, and Kagerora was flung into a lake. As he sank to the bottom of the lake, he is warped into the future where he thinks he sees the princess being captured.

Little does he know that the girl he sees is actually Beni-Hima's descendant, who certainly doesn't want to be saved.

Characters
Kagetora is a ninja from the past who swore to protect Princess Beni with his life. When he and the princess were attacked, he is thrown to the bottom of a lake and transported to the future. There he thinks he sees the princess being kidnapped, while it is really her descendant. He rescues her from the kidnapper, only to find that she didn't want to be saved. Despite her always telling him to leave her alone, he continues to protect her.

Beni is the daughter of a rich man and has been kidnapped many times in her life. Her mother died when she was young, and Beni blames her mother's suicide on her father. Out of anger at her father, she seems happy for the chance to die, but suddenly a ninja rescues her from her kidnapper's clutches.
