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.

5. The Shadow of the Past/A Knife in the Dark, Howard Shore
Stealthily, the shadow crept through the dark forest, scurrying behind a tree, slipping past a boulder, skirting a stream…
It wielded a sinister weapon, a knife both subtle and swift…
The knife was knowledge, and it would be used mercilessly.
No moon shone to expose the hunter. Providence smiled upon him, it seemed.
Ah! There he was! The red kimono was unmistakable.
With faultless subtlety, he neared his target, and raising his weapon, he hefted it, testing its strength.
And now….he struck!
Again and again, ruthless, he stabbed, a manic glint in his eye, the sweet joy of revenge turning up the corners of his mouth into a terrible smile.
Blood seeped from the many wounds, darker than the kimono itself, and he knew his success.
Crowing, he grabbed a fistful of the dark, human hair, and laughed in the face of his rival.
"My vengeance has been wrought upon you!"

A/N: I decided to leave this one in the dark, figuratively speaking. I just couldn't decide to make it serious or humorous, who the mysterious assassin was or why they were after Inuyasha or how they knew when he would be human. So it is open to interpretation. Hope you like it, and please let me know what you thought was going on and who was involved!
