Episode 1

9th grader, Miaka Yuuki is fast asleep in class dreaming about food. She unknowingly starts pounding her teacher with her desk saying "GIMME BACK MY FOOD!!!" She wakes up and realize what she has done. She is very sorry, but gets in trouble anyway.
A little later, Miaka, her best friend Yui Hongo, and 2 other girls, Fu and Mori, are walking down the street talking about their exams. Yui asks Miaka to go to the library with her to return a book she had borrowed.
While waiting for Yui to return a book, Miaka notices some vending machines, she goes to a vending machine that sells juice, but drops her coin on the floor. As she reaches for it, a red bird flies over her. Curiously, she follows it's trail up to the Important Documents Reference Room.
When Yui has finished returning the book she goes to find Miaka and ends up heading to the Important Documents Reference Room too. As Yui find Miaka in the room, a book falls from the shelf in the room. The book is entitled "The Universe Of Four Gods". Yui says it's an ancient Chinese novel and, being the smart girl (who is able to read ancient chinese) that she is, starts to read it: "Thus, the girl of the legend opened the door of another world. This is the story of a girl who gathered the Seven Seishi of Suzaku. She obtained omnipotent power, and made every wish come true. The story itself is an incantation. Whoever finishes reading it will recieve this power. As soon as the page is turned, the story will become truth and being..."
The girls wonder what all that stuff means and they turn the page to keep on rading. As the page is turned a red light luminates from the book and they find themselves in a strange world.
As they look around in amazement, Miaka starts whining about how there is no cheeseburgers around. Then (to top off everything) they get attacked by a bunch of nasty (somewhat ugly) men. Before anything bad happens, a man (not so ugly) with an "orge" character on his forehead appears and kicks the crap out of the 2 men. (YAY!!) The girls watch in awe.
The men flee (take that!). The (handsome) man asks if they are okay, and when they acknowledge that they are, he asks them to pay him (there's always a turn-down :( ). Realizing they have no money, he walks off and says that he hates poor people.
Miaka starts searching her pockets to see if she could find some money while Yui runs after him, but dissappears into that strange red light again.
Miaka, having been looking for her money and not realizing the Yui was surrounded by the strange red light, manages to find some money to pay him, but looks around to find that the man and Yui have both disappeared. (oh no!)
We are now back in the Important Documents Reference Room. The strange red light appears again and disappears. When it disappears, Yui finds herself back at the library with the book in front of her. She reads... and what she reads is exactly what just happened to her and Miaka! (AH, what a shocker!) She wonders if it was all just a dream, but Miaka is nowhere to be found. She also sees an illustration of the man with the orge character and realizes that it truly wasn't a dream and Miaka was still in the book!
Miaka, who is now on a cart in search of the man, thinks about how handsome he was but also thinks he kidnapped Yui.
Upon arriving in a city, she sees the man, runs towards him, but loses him in a crowd. But she still manages to get herself something to eat. (Take Miaka to eat during a crisis)
Miaka goes around asking if anyone has seen a handsome man with a character on his forehead, with no luck. Depressed, she ponders as to where she is, when a man comes up and they start talking. He says that like Miaka he is a tourist and asks if she'd like to go see some sites with him. She tells him that she is searching for a friend and he says that they can look for her friend as they're looking at the sites.
In another part of the city, 2 men are talking about rumors of a strange forgien girl roaming around town. The man with the character on his forehead overhears them and asks if there were 2 girls. He replies that there was only one, so the man figures that it's not the girls that he helped out before.
We go back to Miaka and her 'friend'. Turns out that the man was actually a street thug, and leads her to his gang. In an attempt to protect herself, she makes a sailormoon type speech and tries to beat the crap out the guys with some pro-wresting moves she saw on TV.
Despite her efforts, the thugs attempt to rape her, but the man with the character comes and saves her. Miaka has finally found him.
