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.

9. We Build then We Break, the Fray

"I don't know you," Inuyasha said quietly.

"But I know what you did to her. She told me, and I happen to believe her too."

He flexed his claws. Miroku stepped up behind him, not to restrain him, but to glare and raise his staff, also in a threat. Next came Sango, eyes like death, Hiraikotsu raised.

"W-what are you talking about?" the man, the bastard, feigned innocence.

They let him run. They cornered him again the next day. They never stopped following him.

"You'd better hold your breath 'til it's over. They're likely to force it out of you, otherwise. And you might not get it back," a cold voice sounded, a new one. It belonged to a wolf youkai, equally serious.

"Y-you all can't be serious, believing that wench? I didn't do anything! She came after me!—"

"No one else calls her a wench. Ever."

"Shine."

A/N: First thing:'shine' is the Japanese word for 'die'. Now for the rest...well. It seems my love for using the literal lyrics ran away with me again. Ah well. I have a much, much better written poem inspired by this song in my Broken Seals collection; the poem's called Wrath, if you're interested in checking it out. And please forgive me for the cheese at the end. I don't know what happened...if I could edit it out now without cheating, I would. I guess I just wasn't sure how to end it, and went for the obvious. I try not to, but there it is. I stand by the poem...yes, go read that...not this...[brings up poem as a shield and cowers, muttering to herself].

Anyway. Hope you enjoyed (is that the right word? Probably not...) this. Reviews are always appreciated.
