Hey everyone, I wanted to give this challenge a try. Hopefully it will give more ideas for future stories as well. This is an unofficial, meaning that I am doing it for myself using the prompts of fanfic100 on livejournal.

This follows the events of A Matter of the Heart, I don't think that you need to read it but it would help to understand.

Drabble: 1 0f 100

Prompt: Beginning

Character(s): Shirayuki, Giotto, and guardians

Shirayuki felt alone in this world, she had nothing left. Her brother, Ryuunosuke, died in her place. She wondered why did that happened? Why did he leave her alone in this world? She tighten her grip on Ryuunosuke's watch, his bond with Giotto and his friends. What will happen to her now, she felt so vulnerable.

"It's okay Shirayuki; we'll take care of you."

Shirayuki looked up to see Giotto's eyes staring right back at her. She felt safe in his embrace; the coldness in her heart was slowly melting. Giotto was the only thing she had left; she had nowhere else to go. She was too afraid to go back to Japan all by herself.

"Giotto-sama, I'm sorry." Shirayuki whispered.

Giotto helped Shirayuki to her feet; both stared down at the lifeless corpse that was once a great part of their lives. Never again will they hear that man laugh or complain. Shirayuki will never be able to say goodnight each night or 'I love you' every morning. That man's life is no more; Ryuunosuke had departed from this world.

"Giotto!"

Shirayuki and Giotto turned around and saw G and the other guardians running forwards. All of them came to a complete stop when they say Ryuunosuke's lifeless body. Their eyes traced back to Shirayuki and her bloodied kimono. The pure white katana that rested in her hand vanished and transformed itself into a silver bracelet.

"Shirayuki-san did you…" Ugetsu asked, he and Giotto were the only one's who could understand Shirayuki.

Shirayuki turned her head away in shame, in a way it was her fault. She refused to listen to her brother's orders, and he paid the price. Shirayuki looked at Knuckle praying, she was thankful that someone prayed for his rest. She didn't have the strength to do the sending.

"Do not blame her," Giotto interrupted. "The katana didn't have blood on it when I arrived, she couldn't have done it."

"So what are we going to do with her?" G asked in Italian.

"We'll take care of her."

"But Giotto, she could be in danger with us. Its not safe." Shirayuki heard knuckle argue. She wished she cold understand them.

"It will be all right, we'll protect her."

The large scythe that lay close to Ryuunosuke let out a dim light before it turn itself into a cross earring. The earring floated itself to Shirayuki's hands. Her tears fell from her cheeks in an attempt to hold it together. She figured that it would be best to bury him here, close to Kuchiki manor.

Ryuunosuke's body let out a bright glow, making harder to see for everyone. When the light vanished the entire field changed. The ground was no longer covered in snow, but rather in roses of every color. The tree that stood tall on a large hill grew green with life. However, Ryuunosuke's body disappeared; there was no trace of blood anywhere, not even on Shirayuki's clothes. Shirayuki closed her eyes and heard her brother's voice.

"This road may be hard for you; these roses mark your new beginning with the Vongola. I'll always be watching over you."

"Thank you, onii-sama." She muttered to herself.

Do tell me what you think. As for challenge rules, unless there is an emergency, I'll post everyday.
