Episode 2

A terrified, Miaka runs to the man. He says it's okay now, and Miaka asks if he where Yui is. He says he dosen't know and walks away. But in hot pursuit, Miaka goes after him.
After annoying him to death, the strange (yet handsome) man says that she isn't important because she has no money. Miaka gets mad and yells out that he sold Yui and that he is a trafficker, even though she knows that he's not. After people start staring, he picks her up and starts running.
Miaka starts crying and laying a major guilt trip (nice one) on the man, who starts to feel bad and gives in to her whining (one way to get her to shutup).
Meanwhile, an Imperial Procession goes through the city. The man informs a curious Miaka that the one in the colorful palanquin (some sorta royal... form of transportation.. thingy) is the Emperor of Konan. He says that he wishes he had a jewel off his crown, so stupid Miaka actually runs up to the Emperor and asks him!!! (oh man, not the brighest crayon in the box now is she?)
Bewildered by this girls behavior, the guards attack Miaka, but the man saves her once again and scolds her for being so stupid. But he decides to help her anyway and introduces himself as Sou Kishuku, but eveyone calls him Tamahome. She in turn introduces herself and says that she doesn't have a reward for him. He says he is going to take one right now and kisses her on the forehead. (awww how sweet)
The guards interrupt their moment and attempt to capture them, when a red light (yet again) luminates from Miaka's body. She starts to dissappear and and begins to go back to her world. But it's more like she gets caught between the 2 demensions, cause she sees Yui reading the book. Glad to see that Yui made it back to her world, she calls out her name, but Yui can't hear it. Miaka reaches for her, but she reappears in Tamahome's arms again. (Actually some what of a very cute sceen)
Astounded by what had happened, the emperor orders that Miaka and Tamahome to be taken to the palace immediately.
They are both imprisoned. Miaka has a dream about Yui and her mother, and wakes up clinging to Tamahome. He asks her to tell him about herself, but she is reluctant. She starts to cry again, (-_-' oh boy) but Tamahome assures her that she will get home.
The Emperor and his court discuss the events that took place earlier that day. The Emperor thinks that this girl might be the Suzaku No Miko.
Miaka blows some bubbles with her gum and gets it all over her face. A nearby guard freaks at the site of Miaka with gum on her face (them not having gum and all) and runs away screaming "Monster!!!" He drops the key on the floor and Tama grab them. He starts to commend Miaka, but gets freaked himself when he looks at her.
They scurry around the palace and end up in a room that has a statue of the bird that Miaka saw at the librairy. Tama (isn't that a cute name? Tama.. awww) explains that it's Suzaku, the protector of Konan and one of the four Gods. The protector of the east is Seiryuu, the one of the north is Gembu, and the God of the west is Byakko. Suzaku protects the south. As Tama keeps explaining all this, we see Miaka running off (without Tama) because she smelled some food nearby (this girls got an bottom-less pit for a stomach).
After eating, she realizes that she is lost and Tamahome is no where to be found. She then encounters a person (who she thinks is a woman) who asks if she is lost and if she is the one that was impolite in front of the Emperor. She plays dumb (not too hard for her) and says she's just a Jr. High School student passing through.
Tama eagerly looks for Miaka, but gets seen by guards. He starts running and the guards pursue him
Miaka reveals to the person that she is not from this world. The person thinks that it is wonderful and interesting that she is from another world and introduces "herself" as Hotohori. Miaka tells "her" that she thinks "she" is really beautiful.
Tamahome is captured by the guards who try to make him tell where Miaka is. Miaka then appears and begs them to let him go. She gets grabbed by a guard, which pisses off Tama and he punches him (good show Tama!)
Hotohori appears and tells the guards that without his order they can't harm anyone. It is then realized (by just about all) that Hotohori is the Emperor!! *shocker* Miaka says that "she" is so young and beautiful, but Tama yells at her saying that the Emperor is a man!
Now dressed as an Emperor, Hotohori explains that he wanted to get to know Miaka and that is why he disguised himself as a girl. He also says that he will not harm her or Tamahome and asks her to become the Suzaku No Miko and protect Konan.
He reviels that him and Tama are both 2 of the 7 legendary Suzaku no Senshi
She decides to become the Miko, and Hotohori announces to everyone to bow down to her. For she is the one who is going to obtain the power of Suzaku!! YAY!!
