"Wow Su-san!" Medicine said in pure joy. "Your growing so much! I lost track of how many new buds you've grown." She smiles, walking into the heart of the field and gazing at the flowers. "You look so healthy too!" Tsubaki hovered around Medicine, landing on the ground and scurrying over to a few of the flowers and fixing them. "Hm? What's that?...Souls?" Medicine asked her flowers, confused. "Influx...what?" Medicine said, even more confused. "I have no clue what your talking about...but your saying that the souls are housing themselves in flowers...which is why you're growing so much?" Medicine said, putting the pieces the suzurans told her. "That's silly~" She giggled.
"Nope..it's the truth." A voice rang out, coughing lightly.
Medicine spun around, panicked and ready to attack. "Who are you and what do you want here?" She demanded.
The person coughed a bit again, waving her hand in front of her face to get the poison away from her mouth and nose, trying not to breath the fog in. "Not really that important now. But what you said is right. There are too many souls flying around..."
"How do you know this..." Medicine asked, eying the person.
"As the shrine maiden...I need to know what's going on at all times." The red-white miko said.
"You're a shrine maiden?" the doll asked, completely sidetracked.
Reimu nodded, coughing again. "Yea..I'm the Hakurei Shrine Maiden, Reimu. How do you even live here?" She asked.
"Su-san gave me life! Plus being a doll makes me immune to her poisons." Medicine quickly explained.
"You...named your flowers?"
"I didn't name her that! It's for respect!" The doll youkai snapped.
"Hey..hey..calm down okay...uhm..." Reimu started.
"Medicine...Medicine Melancholy." She said, still in a huff about Reimu's 'insult' to Su-san.
"Nice to meet you then..." She said, looking around, coughing lightly again and trying to waft the poison fog away from her still. "This poison..ugh..."
"Are you mocking Su-san's poison?" Medicine quickly retorted to Reimu's groan.
"W-what? No! I'm not! It's just that I can't breathe here." Reimu replied, coughing again.
"Then stop coughing at her poison!" Medicine snapped.
"I'm human! I can't help but cough! Poison hurts us and youkai alike!"
"Still...you could at least learn to tolerate it."
"I am! But that forsaken flowers are throwing off so much poison I can't even take it anymore!" Reimu snapped, Medicine gasping.
"W-what...w-what did you say?"
Reimu coughed a bit louder, noticed what she said. "I didn't mean to say that." She said quickly to defend herself. "It's just that your flowers are throwing off too much poison due to the Flowering Incident!"
"LIES!" Medicine snapped, diving for Reimu, the miko quickly jumping back.
"I didn't mean to say that!" She said, quickly grabbing some talismans.
"Don't try to lie..you meant to say that about my flowers!" Medicine growled, making a large cloud of poison and hurling it at the shrine maiden.
Reimu gasped, jumping back once more and coughing, hurling her talismans at the doll. "I'm sorry for what I said!"
Medicine numbly dodged the talismans, seething still. "Stop trying to weasle your way out of this!" Medicine yelled, firing off burst after burst of flower shaped danmaku.
Reimu planted her feet and slammed a talisman to the ground, a light blue wall erupting upwards and blocking the danmaku. "That's it...your done doll!" Reimu said, crossing her arms and warping out of sight.
Medicine looked around and closed her eyes. "Now..just wait..and..." She grinned, digging her heel into the ground, making a shell of poison around her just before Reimu warped back into sight, trying to send a hurdle of needles down at the doll.
The miko growled, seeing the needle bounce off the shell. She landed and armed herself with more needles and talismans. "You can't stay in there forever..." Reimu said, watching for any kind of movement.
The shell shattered into a wild shrapnel of poison shards, nicking and scratching Reimu. Medicine used this opening and lunged at Reimu, making a surge of poison and trying to engulf Reimu in it.
Reimu stood her ground and slammed another barrier talisman to the ground, shattering though at the quantity and force of the poison wave. The red-white miko recoiled back, crossing her arms over her face and chest and trying to block the still charging poison.
Medicine chuckled, making a poison poll and slamming it against Reimu's side, forcing her to drop her guard and tale the full force of the poison. The shrine maiden fell back, coughing heavily and slowly pushing herself off the ground.
"You'll never win while I'm near my flowers." Medicine sneered. "As long as I'm here..you can't think about beating me." She chuckled, welling a giant amount of poison in the air above her. "My poison knows no bounds here." She said, motioning her hands to crush Reimu.
The shrine maiden reacted, warping out of view for a bit and ending up behind the doll. "Reasoning won't work...wearing you out won't...so forget playing nice!" Reimu said, pulling out a spell card. "Fantasy Heaven!" She said, jumping into the air and unleashing a barrage of talismans, needles, and ying-yang orbs at the doll.
Medicine chuckled, gracefully diving between the bullets and making a poison trail linger behind her. "Flashy flashy isn't gonna work!" Medicine yelled, hurling a poison blast at Reimu, quickly stopping the spellcard pattered and dropping under the blast.
"You really are persistent." Reimu said, suddenly falling to the ground and coughing heavily at the poison. "F-forgot about..this..." She said, staggering to her feet and quickly flying away from the field.
"That's right! You better run shrine maiden!" Medicine yelled at the fleeing miko. "My powers can't be defeated..no matter what anyone says. All I need is Tsubaki and Su-san and I'm fine." she huffed, looking around, seeing some of the damage done, which wasn't much. Medicine turned around to look at the flowers. "Did you say something?" she asked, listening. "Uh-huh...uh-huh...so..I shouldn't be like that? But..she...I know she...but I was...fine...I'm sorry Su-san." Medicine said, sighing. "I'll be less aggressive...I promise."
