Copyright: © 1995 Yu Watase / Shogakukan Shojo Comic / TV Tokyo / Studio Pierrot, © 1998 Pioneer Entertainment Director: Kamegaki Hajime Original Story: Yu Watase Character Design: Motohashi Hideyuki Series structure: Urasawa Yoshio Unaware that her friend Yui has already returned to the library, Miaka finds herself on a desparate hunt for the mysterious man who might hold the key to the whereabouts of Yui. But Konan is a large place full of people, and it seems that there are slave traders everywhere. Luckily for Miaka, the mysterious man finds her... But Sou Kishuku (Tamahome), bearer of the oni character on his forehead, doesn't offer much consolation -- it appears that he is somewhat of a mercenary, and wants to be paid for his services... and to make matters worse, he claims to have absolutely no idea where Hongo Yui might be. Yet as chance would have it, a royal procession carrying the Emperor of Konan passes by them, and in a fit of inspired recklessness, Miaka decides to ask the Emperor himself for one of his crown jewels, in order to pay for Tamahome's services. Not unexpectedly, her attempt fails, and Tamahome finds it necessary to try to extricate them from yet another situation. As "payment" for his services, he exacts the prices of a kiss... but when he lands a gentle kiss on Miaka's forehead, a bright red glow eminates from her, and Miaka momentarily disappears. When Miaka returns, the Emperor of Konan orders their capture, and the two find themselves in the royal dungeon. But fate often has a strange way of righting things that are wrong... or at least making things more complicated than you'd want. And Miaka finds herself in just such a situation: on the run from the imperial guards, lost in a great courtyard deep inside the palace grounds, separated from the one person she knows in all of Konan... and being appointed the Priestess of Suzaku by the Emperor himself???
