Fushigi Yugi a Mysterious Play

Fushigi Yugi
Purpose of Title~Fushigi Yuugi means Mysterious Play, which I guess is supposed to be like they're giving on a play in the book.
Fushigi Yugi is about a 15 year old girl named Miaka Yuki. She’s just a normal teenager, trying to get into a big school . She wanders with her friend Yui Hongo (Yui-chan) into a huge library, and springs to a juice machine. Her 100 yen coin falls and as she goes to get it, a mysterious red bird flies over her. Chasing after it, she meets Yui again and an ancient book falls to the ground off the shelves. Since Yui is an expert at ancient Chinese, she starts to read the book, and both of them are sucked into it. Looking around at a strange country side, some slave traders come by. Suddenly, as we’re about to lose the main character, a handsome young man with the Chinese symbol of “ogre” saves them both from the scary slave traders.
Then, after the man leaves, Yui is taken away by a red light (Miaka doesn’t see this, because she’s fishing out a coin for the man as payment)back to the library to read what happens to Miaka. Miaka gets scared, then hops a ride on the back of a cart to the city of Konan. There she searches for the man who saved her, thinking he stole Yui. As friendly as she is, she follows a man to an abandoned portion of the city, and again things look bleak for our heroine, but then the man with ogre on his forehead appears and saves her again. Then he agrees to help her find Yui. While back in the village, the emperor arrives. Stupidly, Miaka jumps out of the crowd and asks him for part of his crown.
She trips and accidentally pulls down a portion of his decorative cloth. Again, the ogre boy comes to save her (adding in a kiss as his “payment”), but she suddenly glows red and disappears. She sees Yui reading the book, calls out to her, but is sucked back into the hot guy’s arms. The emperor orders the guards to seize them both, instead of executing them. Once in the palace, they are locked in a dungeon, but Miaka gets them out (really funny scene with bubble gum) and they hide in a room with the bird that Miaka originally saw flying in the library, Tamahome (Sou Kishuku) explains the legend of Priestess of Suzaku. Then, as he’s talking Miaka finds food and gets lost from him, then meets a strange “girl” at the gate named Hotohori. She finds out it’s the emperor (a GUY!), and he takes her and Tamahome back to the castle. There he asks her to save Konan by getting the power of the Suzaku, and finding the Suzaki Seven. She finds out that Tamahome (the Crab) and Hotohori (the Sea Serpent) are two of them, so she has to find the other 5. Hotohori assembles all his scholars and soldiers to see if they are one of the seven. Miaka tests them by ticking them off, and they all go at her. She hides under a gazebo , and the soldier hits one of the pillars down, making it collapse.
Tamahome saves her by diving and holding all the weight on his back, and swears to protect her. Then, as Tamahome can’t bear it anymore, a lady walks up and casually throws the heavy roof of the gazebo off of Tamahome. . Nuriko treats Miaka like shi–I mean poo, but Miaka still tries to be friends with her. Nuriko admits that her love for Tamahome was only to get Miaka jealous, and she really likes Hotohori. After gatehring the suzaku seven lady miaka was reday to summoned the suzaku and make three wishes, but then miaka was failed to summoned suzaku because one of the suzaku seven is a traitor, they didnt know that one of the seven is one of the seven waarior of seiryu. Miaka became hopeless to free her bestfriend yui and be back to their own world. But theirs another way to summoned suzaku,, then another adventures waiting for them....
-the ending of these story is so cool, that even you will believe that reencarnation are true.. "LOVE IT"
