1. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like.

2. Turn on your music player and put it on random/shuffle.

3. Write a drabble related to each song that plays. You only have the timeframe of the song to finish the drabble; you start when the song starts and stop when it's over. No lingering afterwards! [I confess: inveterate beta that I am, I did go back and edit a bit--but I did not write more! I swear! I only fixed typos and so on.]

4. Do 10 of these, then post them.

1. Domine Deus, Agnus Dei, from Vivaldi's Gloria

Kagome's jii-san collected the items and made his way to the Goshinboku.

Normally, he'd lecture Souta about the use and history of each object as he set them up, but now was different. This wasn't just a matter of a tradition handed down over the generations, to pray on a certain day.

This was a matter of life and death.

Face sober with worry, he knelt before the altar, and began to pray.

"Mercy, dear kami," he intoned with more seriousness than he had since Kagome's father had died.

"Mercy upon this family, for our eldest, dearest child is lost. Let her live. Let her be happy. Even if it is with that abomination, let her live."

He didn't acknowledge the single tear that slipped down his cheek.

A/N: K, so I started the next series of drabbles earlier today, but they kind of tanked. This one was the best of the bunch. I'm still debating on scrapping the others, but I'm definitely going to do a redo...Hope you like this. Reviews are always appreciated.
