Prologue
A girl with vibrant red hair and sparkling green eyes sauntered down the sidewalk carrying a backpack and an armful of manga, heading towards her friends house for a sleepover. Juggling her pile of books she rang the doorbell and was greeted by a girl with sleek blonde hair and gorgeous cerulean eyes. The girl took the pile of manga and set it aside before swallowing the red head in a hug.
"Emi-chan!" The blonde squealed.
"Hey Kyo-chan!" The red head grinned.
Emiko entered the house and Kyoko shut the door behind her, carrying the manga up to her room while Emi followed her. Together the owned countless sets of manga, it was something they'd started when they were younger, opting to split series rather then pay extra money for things they read together anyway.
Kyo sighed, "It's about time we had another major sleepover, it's been ages."
Emiko nodded. "I've brought all our supplies for the weekend."
"Enough manga to have killed a small forest," Kyo giggled, "did you bring the pocky?"
Emiko nodded, "Enough to keep us wired for the whole weekend," she answered, opening the middle pouch of her backpack, revealing at least fifteen boxes packed in tightly together. "Pocky should not be so delicious,"
"I whole heartedly agree", Kyo grinned as she ripped open a package and popped one in her mouth.
"So, what should we start with first?" Emiko asked, settling herself on the bed, toying with her own package of pocky.
"I vote we read FY, it's been ages since we've read it, and I kinda miss it."
"Sounds good, Genbu or Suzaku arc?"
"We'll start with Suzaku and read Genbu later, we should probably save it for last, you know how we get."
Emiko nodded vigorously. "Too true, I'm not in the mood for crying quite yet."
"Alright, let's get all settled, PJ's and snacks and endless hours of shojoy goodness."
The girls reconvened after 15 minutes, dressed in their pajamas and sprawled across the bed, each holding a side of the first manga of Fushigi Yuugi. They giggled over Miaka's dream and when it came to the Legend they both spoke it out loud. "Herein contains the tale of a young lady and her quest to gather the seven constellations of Suzaku together. And if you, the esteemed reader, should read to the story's end, the spell contained within this book shall bestow upon you the powers of the heroine and grant you your wish. For indeed the moment the page is turned, the story will become a reality."
Emiko sighed and rolled onto her back, looking over at Kyoko. "I remember the first time we read those words."
"Me too," Kyo smiled softly and sighed as well.
"I want to go back." Emiko rolled back over.
"Testify!" Kyo giggled and they high fived over the manga. Flipping the page, the last thing they saw before being blinded by a huge white light was Miaka and Yui being pulled into the book.
