So, this is my first attempt at a drabble. Also, the word count on FanFiction's edit/preview document area is really weird. Even though I know there's only 100 words, I nearly had a heart attack when I went to upload this to the site and saw that there were 116 words (and I hadn't even added an author's note yet). But, fiddling around with the alignment (even though I didn't actually change the word count) took the count according to FanFiction to 113, then to 116 again, down to 110, and finally to 107. So, lesson being, trust the word count of the document program you happen to be using or your own manual count.
Rukia sprinted through the dark streets of Rukongai's Inuzuri. Howling Dog. Everyone living in the seventy-eighth district was like a stray dog, constantly fighting to protect any food they could scrounge up.
Watching for pursuers, Rukia gripped her basket and ducked into a rundown building with a ragged cloth draped over the otherwise empty doorway. Upstairs, Renji sat with two large water jars.
As she set down the basket, Renji gestured at the stolen food and water. "This time next week, we won't have to eat stolen food. We'll be attending the Academy, leaving this dark life behind, forever."
