This one is in the first person because I felt like writing it like that. If it bothers you, oh well.
"Akane, Kasumi, and Sakura" (Alternate title: "Destiny")
Shinta…my sisters and I greatly enjoyed our time with you, brief as it was. But don't mourn us. We've had a chance to live and make our mistakes. Please understand. I'm not suicidal; I want to continue with life, but I have no real choice. All that I can do is give my life in your place. Maybe some kind-hearted ronin will come and save you, or maybe you can run away quickly enough to find a place to hide, a way to escape. Perhaps you can play dead and hide among the bodies until they leave. But no matter what, you must live! We would be naught but slaves, prostitutes, but I know you're destined for more than that. You will accomplish much, one day. Goodbye, Shinta.
We'll always watch over you.

End "Akane, Kasumi, and Sakura"
MS's notes:
The kanji used in the scene break mean "destiny." But you've probably guessed that already.
There will be a few changes in the format from now on. First of all, as you've probably noticed in this one, I dropped the setting description. I just grew tired of looking for ways to say where it is set when it's not in a city and wracking my brain trying to decide when it would be set. Also, starting with the next drabble, the titles will not be the names of the characters involved. Instead, they will be more like the alternate titles we have now. Make any sense? I hope so. XD
Ack! The author's notes are about as long as the actual drabble now, so I'm going to shut up. See you next time.
