"So, what are you going to do with Su-san?" Medicine asked, plopping down a basket of her flowers on a small table. Medicine was away from the hill, Tsubaki on her shoulder as two people looked at the flowers.

"We need them to help a friend. You fought her and get her sick with you're poisons." One of them said, gently cutting the stem of the flowers and letting the poison drip into a small beaker. "We just need this bushel, then we'll replant them, okay Medi, dear?"

Medicine smiled happily. "Okay, I'm trusting you!"

"Trust me, I'll make sure they get replanted." a second voice said.

"Thanks! You know..I was never this far away from Su-san, or as long." She said, looking out of the bamboo building they were in.

"It's fine Medicine, nothing will happen to her I promise."

"Are you sure Reisen?" the doll asked the lunar rabbit.

"I'm positive. Now, c'mon, let's leave Eirin to her work, okay?" Reisen said.

"Alright, but where? I don't know anything here!" Medicine said, stepping outside with her tour guide and looking around the great bamboo forest that stood around her.

"It's not that hard to get around once you lived here for a while." the rabbit said, smiling.

"But..it's so big!" the doll said, still in awe at the forest.

"Like I said, you'll get used to it. Now..there is someone i want you to meet. She's nice, but she does have a bit of a mean streak, but it's not her fault really."

"But, she's nice right?" Medicine asked, following Reisen as she walked down a path.

"She used to be mad at Lady Kaguya and kill her on a daily basis, the two of them both being immortal. But seeing as how the two are trying to let the past be past them, she's slowly calming down, but please be careful." She explaining, looking around.

"Oh...what's immortal?" the tsukumogami asked,

"Being immortal means you can't die. She and Lady Kaguya drank the Hourai Elixir, which made them immortal. They've been alive for over 1000 years and in a fight for just as long." Reisen explained, stopping and looking around at the woods. "Mokou! I'm here with someone! She wants to meet you!"

"Mokou...?" Medicine asked, looking around too and seeing the bamboo move a bit. "I think she's coming from over there." the doll said, pointing to the moving trees.

"Hm? Oh! It is! Mokou! Over here!" Reisen said, spying the grey haired immortal as she walked out of the bamboo.

"Yea, what is it?" She asked, her hands in her pants pockets.

"I want you to meet Medicine. She's a new friend of mine." Reisen said, looking for the doll. "Huh?"

"Very funny rabbit..can I get going no-" Mokou said, pointing to Medicine, who was hiding behind Reisen. "Why is she..never mind." She sighed.

Reisen took Medicine's arm and gently pulled her out from behind her. "C'mon Medi, she won't bite."

"Are..you sure? She looks..mad." the doll said, nervous a bit.

"I promise! Right Mokou?"

"Huh?" Mokou said, who had been dazing out. "Oh..yea, yea whatever, I won't bite..or something"

"See?" Reisen said, pushing the tsukumogami towards the immortal.

"I-I'm M-Medicine...nice t-to meet you." She stammered out.

"Kid can barely talk Inaba..."

"She's just shy is all, and my name is Reisen, you know that."

"Yea..but I like the pet name better..suits ya..hehe." Mokou said with a chuckle.

The rabbit sighed. "Alright, alright." She said, looking at Medicine. "You okay?" She asked, seeing the doll shake her head. "What's wrong?"

"I'd um..r-rather not say." the doll stammered.

"Well..if she's just gonna do that...I'll get going. Tell little miss Sinner I'll burn her to a crisp tonight." The phoenix said, snapping her fingers and growing her flaming, phoenix wings, taking off past Reisen.

Reisen turned around, seeing Mokou was out of sight. "Now, what's wrong Medi?"

Medicine stammered, the lunar rabbit unable to understand. "I don't know what you're trying to say, speak up."

Medicine backed up and rose her arm about chest level. "I..um..I..er..." She kept saying over and over. She made a fist, the extended her pointer finger, welled with a pink poison. "I...l-l.." She tried to say.

"You...what her?" Reisen asked, tilting her head.

Medicine slowly moved her hand, the pink poison vaporizing, but retaining it's color in the air.

"You...you what?" Reisen said, in shock and blushing a bit.

Medicine nodded quickly, blushing fully red if she could.

"Awww! That's so sweet! You have a crush on Mokou!" Reisen giggled.

"Is..is that's what it called?"Medicine asked. "A...crush?"

"Well, a crush is when someone likes someone else." Reisen said.

"I..uh..heard that girls usually like boys...am I weird that I like a girl?" the doll asked.

"No, no! Not at all!" Reisen said, walking over. "Crushes come in different kinds. It's perfectly normal for you to like a girl." Reisen smiled, walking with the doll back to the village of the Bamboo Forest and towards Eirin's lab.

"But...I felt weird when I saw her..." Medicine said. "It's odd..I'm a doll but I have human-like emotions."

"Well, maybe Eirin can check you out and see if there's something different with you now, okay?" the lunar rabbit said.

"A-alright..but don't t-tell her I have a crush on M-Mokou!" Medicine said, stammering once more.

"I promise, I won't tell anyone unless you want me to, okay?"

"Good..thank you Reisen."

The day went on, Medicine returning back to the Nameless Hill shortly after her return to Eirin's lab. She hurried deep into the suzuran field as she always did. "Su-san...I um..found out I had a crush today...No, I'm not going to leave you...who was she? She was this immortal girl named Mokou." Medicine said, smiling. "She was very cute...bows, long gray hair, very nice eyes, but she did wear pants and seeing all the other girls I know in skirts and dresses, she did look a bit off, but she was still cute...yes, I do want to see her again. Take her here? N-no! I c-couldn't do that! She..controls fire and might burn you by accident. You're...o-okay with this? B-but...for me..but Su-san..I couldn't...a-alright..I'll try and see if I can get something a but better than the tent Sakuya got for me..maybe I should go into town with her and buy something...hm? Don't worry, I'll still take care of you and protect you, I promise."
