I tried to have this chapter followed the first level of GunGrave, but it's not perfect because it's been years since I've played the game.

The name of the chapter comes from the song "Binge and Purge" by Clutch.

Enjoy


~Unknown Residence, Saturday, 7 PM, Present Day~

"Kirisame. It's time to work." A female voice said.

The lights flickered on and a woman clad in black attire slowly rose from an exam table. Dressed in a black shirt, black coat, black pants, even black shoes and a black hat.

Dr. E was standing in front of the one known as Kirisame. "Good, you're up." She looked the other over. "It's almost time again." She let out a sigh while adjusting her glasses. "After this mission, we'll have to do another transfusion."

Kirisame was dead silent, walking over to the couch and sitting on it. She put her hands together, her elbows on her knees and her chin resting on her hands. She waited to be briefed.

"There's been a report of a large concentration of SEED in the Hakurei Nightclub. I need you to find Miss Hakurei herself, and get information about where she had obtained it. Understood?"

SEED was an extremely addictive drug that could turn people into what are essentially mutants, or SEEDMAN. It was created some time ago, no one really knows anymore.

Kirisame slowly stood up and walked towards the door, grabbing a revolver on the way. She was soon gone.

~Two hours later~

Hakurei Nightclub, the most frequented place in the Human Village.

Things had changed over the years; Gensokyo became more modern, more industrious.

Humans were all over the place, the streets crowded.

Kirisame made her way into the Hakurei Nightclub.

Inside, there was loud techno music playing with SEED addicts just raving along to it.

Moments passed before Kirisame was noticed and the crowded soon turned to face her.

"Get her!" Someone had shouted from the crowd, and in an instant, the crowded drew weapons. Pistols, rifles, knifes, amongst other things.

Kirisame just grinned before aiming her revolver forward. She cocked the revolver quickly before pulling the trigger.

A large orb shot from the revolver and rocketed through the center portion of the crowd, leaving no remains, just a trail of destruction as the orb had vanished before hitting the wall.

All Hell suddenly broke loose at the crowd began to attack. Those with close-quarters weapons had charged had on. Kirisame used a mix of close-quarters-combat and shooting to take out the fighters. She was not left unharmed however, as several of them managed to either stab or cut her before she broke either an arm, leg, spine, or other limb/bone.

Next were those with guns. They unleashed a flurry of rounds at the seemingly indestructible woman. Kirisame quickly grazed as many of the rounds as she could while returning fire quickly. It took all of 40 minutes for the fighting to end. Only thing left alive was the music.

Kirisame was standing amongst the corpses, her blood forming a puddle at her feet. Her clothes were riddled with bullet holes, on both sides. She started to walk towards the back door.

~Meanwhile, Hakurei Nightclub Top Floor~

"Fuck! What is she doing here?" A woman shouted angrily as she watched a security monitor.

"I believe she's here about the SEED." A male voice replied from behind the woman. "Miss, shouldn't you be leaving before that thing arrives?"

"You're right. Can I trust you to take care of her?"

"Of course Miss. Hurry to the roof."

The woman stood up from her seat and walked casually to the stairwell before running up to the roof.

After 10 minutes, Kirisame entered the penthouse of the nightclub.

The penthouse was very gaudy, but reflected the Hakurei Shrine in a way. There were sake bottles in at least twenty different places.

"Kirisame, I've heard so much about you." The male said. It was the woman's assistant, but just a normal human. "You know what you have to do."

The black clad witch fired a single shot into the male's head before heading up to the roof through the stairwell.

~Hakurei Nightclub Rooftop~

The woman, Reimu Hakurei, was waiting on the other side of the roof, a pistol in hand.

Kirisame walked out onto the roof, an expression of dead intent, no pun intended, was clearly visible.

"Marisa Kirisame. It's been a long time. I still remember that day."

"…" Kirisame clenched her teeth, cocking the revolver.

"Can't talk, huh? That's a shame. Means you can't beg for mercy!" Reimu suddenly took aim and fired repeatedly at Kirisame.

Kirisame didn't move, dust starting to build up around her, soon followed by what sounded like a thud against the roof. Reimu stopped firing and watched carefully as the smoke cleared. Kirisame was standing however, a wicked grin on her face.

"Oh shit..." Reimu started to back away.

Kirisame started to walk towards Reimu and shot her in both knees. Reimu screamed as she fell to hands and knees.

"F-fuck you… I guess you want to know where I got the SEED… Fine, I got it from our friend, the Tengu." Reimu said painfully as she slowly sat up on her knees. "It was nice, seeing you one last time…" She positioned the pistol under her chin before pulling the trigger.

Kirisame had reached forward to try to stop Reimu, but was too late. She watched as the body of the one who used to be her best friend fall off the rooftop and onto the street below. "…" She took a running start before jumping down to the streets, landing on a dumpster. She recovered herself quickly before picking up the dead Miko's body and carrying it away to bury it.

~Border of the Human Village, 1 hour later~

Kirisame was sitting on her knees in front of a fresh mound of dirt.

"Kirisame, return at once. You've been gone longer than I thought you would be. We can't risk letting more time pass." Dr. E's voice came through an earpiece that was connected to a two-way radio.

Kirisame slowly stood up, picking up the dead Miko's hair ribbon before leaving for Dr. E's.

This encounter triggered repressed memories, memories of her friendship with Reimu, and how close they were.

~Dr. E's, three hours later~

Kirisame staggered into the lab of Dr. E and collapsed on the floor.

Dr. E hurried over to Kirisame. "Shit, I need to hurry." She said under her breath as she put the black clad woman onto an exam table and started to hook her up to a machine.

The machine was used to flush out old blood from Kirisame's system and replace it with fresh blood.

"You'll be waiting here for a while." Dr. E sighed while fixing her glasses. "Then we must hunt down the Tengu."

Kirisame seemed lifeless, but then again, she was undead.

A voice ran inside the undead Kirisame's head and it said, "Promise me, no matter what happens, you'll never forget who you really are." It must have been a memory.

All was quiet for the next few days…
