This is my first official fan fiction, so don't expect a lot. Even so, I noticed Medicine Melancholy hasn't got a lot of love on here, and in the few stories she has, they're kind of dark. So, behold my what-if scenario. Who knows, I might start doing this actually often. Anyway, enjoy~!
It was a sunny day on the Nameless Hill. The old, decrepit house atop it gleaming with moisture from a recent summer shower. Inside one could hear...Utter silence. A oddly lifelike doll laid out on a bed, staring at the ceiling.
Medicine Melancholy was bored. Undoubtedly this would be the point someone would come along and fix this boredom, but that did not seem to happen, today.
Key word, seem. Then she came along, the infamous Hakurei Shrine Maiden, currently busy holding her ribbon over her mouth. However powerful she may be, Medicine took some solace in the fact that the flowers surrounding her house alone were taking some form of toll on this unwanted visitor.
Reimu approached the front door, coughing lightly, and knocking. The tiny doll accompanying Medicine would answer, whilst Medicine remained in bed. Dolls couldn't sleep, of course, but she still found it comforting.
The shrine maiden would look down at the doll. "Er, are you Medicine?"
The doll would shake it's head, pointing towards the poison doll herself.
"What do you want? Here to exterminate me?" She'd sound annoyed.
Reimu would sigh and respond, "is that all people think I do, nowadays? I have a life, too."
This statement would incite a chuckle in Medicine. "You are the last person I'd ever expect to 'have a life'. And you never answered my question, Reimu."
"Well, aren't you just peachy, but no, I'm not here to blow you up. You DESERVE it, since everyone who comes here 'mysteriously vanishes', but you get a pass, since someone is looking for you."
This would pique the doll's curiosity. "Me? You're sure they're not just looking for me because they're suicidal?" She'd half-joke.
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure, she has good reason to care, considering your...unique composition."
"Huh? What's that supposed to mean?"
"It's best if you go see her yourself, and find out." Reimu would hand Medicine a piece of paper, upon closer inspection, it'd be a map with a specific location in the Forest of Magic marked. "There's a house here, go take a look. Do NOT go to the one with fumes and light coming out of it, that means you're too far east."
"Uh-huh. Is there anything else I need to know?"
"No, just stay out of trouble, I don't want to hear about anyone else dying."
"You have no proof, they simply vanished, Miss Hakurei." Medicine would joke, and the shrine maiden would grumble, exiting the house and shutting the door, rather harshly at that.
Of course, the poison doll had no interest in going to this location, she simply wanted the map, maps of Gensokyo are hard to come by, you know. Especially delivered to your house.
...Then again, just a look couldn't hurt, Reimu never said she had to go INTO the house, did she? Just 'take a look'.
"...Su-san, I have a job for you."
Oh noes, over already? I'm just goofing with you, the chapters will get longer in case anyone actually cares, though I have a pretty unstable schedule so you can never know when the next one will come up. Feel free to point out any flaws, I'd love the feedback.
