As usual, I was randomly surfing the 'net... and I came upon a fun little meme. Shuffle on the songs on your iPod and write ten drabbles for the duration of the first ten songs. I don't usually write just for fun (because I'm so lazy -.-), but I made an exception for this.
These are all Sesshoumaru/Rin drabbles... and they're all extremely short. Because I cannot write anything with a decent length in only 3 minutes. -sweatdrop-
Anyways, they might not make sense to anyone else... but I figured I'd stick them up here, anyways. Just so I could look back and laugh later :P
1. "Cowboy Song" by Thin Lizzy
I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail
Lord, I'm just thinking about a certain female
The nights we spent together riding on the range
Looking back it seems so strange
I know that this meaningless wandering will end someday. And I will see that familiar face--feel those tiny hands grasp mine.
"Rin has been waiting so long. But now Sesshoumaru-sama is here and Rin is so glad!"
There's that smile and I almost sigh in relief. Finally. I have returned to my Rin. And I will not wander without her again.

2. "30 Minutes" by t.A.T.u.
30 minutes, a blink of an eye
30 minutes, to alter our lives
30 minutes, to make up my mind
30 minutes, to finally decide
Shy smiles, blushes in the dead of night… thoughts of his protective arms. But his cold looks and the consequences stay her hand. He will not take the first step down such a dangerous road. She grows old, their options dwindle and fade. Soon she is gone and he is alone.
Alone with thoughts of "what if?"

3. "All The Small Things" by Blink 182
Late night, come home
Work sucks, I know
She left me roses by the stairs
Surprises let me know she cares
Another useless battle with an opponent whose mother shouldn't have wasted her time. I narrow my eyes at the babbling toad in annoyance. Then her soft voice reaches my ears.
"Sesshoumaru-sama!" A bouquet of flowers is thrust at me. And I am happy.

4. "This Could Be Anywhere In The World" by Alexisonfire
Because this city, this city is haunted
By ghosts (ghosts) from broken homes (homes)
Because this city, this city is haunted
And there's no hope (hope) left for these souls (souls)
'Rin.'
There is his Rin from long ago. But her face is without light. She looks broken as she stands in a line waiting for food. The air bites her cheeks and fingers.
Too many years have passed without anyone caring about her. She is lost to him. She won't trust him now.
He takes that step forward, anyway.

5. "My Last Breath" by Evanesence
Closing your eyes to disappear
You pray your dreams will leave you here
But still you wake and know the truth
No one's there
I beg your forgiveness, my lord. I am sorry for being a human with a human's lifespan. I am sorry you care for me.
With steady hands I stroke you face. The years will be torture, my lord. And it is my fault for being human.
"I'm sorry, Sesshoumaru-sama."
I wonder why you look so confused as I let go my last breath.

6. "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" by ACDC
If you're havin' trouble with your high school head
He's givin' you the blues
You wanna graduate but not in 'is bed
Here's what you gotta do
Pick up the phone, I'm always home
Call me anytime
"If you need me, I will come."
That is the only thing he said before leaving her. That one phrase made her feel safe. She had no reason to believe he wouldn't come. But she wasn't aware he'd make such a mess in the house.
Blood is so difficult to clean.

7. "Lazy Eye" by The Silversun Pickups
I've been waiting
I've been waiting for this moment all my life
But it's not quite right
I am aware that I should be happy, or at least satisfied. Finally I am reunited with my Rin. And she smiles at me the same way, strokes my head with the same gentleness.
When we kiss there is no awkwardness. It is as if she the original, not the reincarnation. And I have longed for her for so long… I should not feel so uneasy.
But there is something wrong. Some emotion that flickers across her face when she thinks I cannot see.
Despite my presence, she fears for her life. She does not believe in my skill to protect her. And that is not how my Rin was. My Rin believed I could do anything.

8. "Hitomi no Naka no Meikyuu" by Kayo Aiko
I want to meet you… I can't meet you
Where are you now? Because I'll definitely find you out
What I've gotten lost in is the maze in my eyes
Because even if the darkness blocks my path
And my timid heart is lead astray
I'll keep searching for you without giving up
Long ago, a demon prince the one being to grace him with a carefree smile. Years passed--forever young--and he searched. Every face he found wasn't his precious smiling one. Every century that went past was another stab to his lonely heart.
But he would not give up his search. She was waiting somewhere…

9. "Hard To Say" by The Used
It's hard to say that I was wrong
It's hard to say I miss you
Since you've been gone it's not the same
"Rin, come."
It has been years since the girl heard those words. She simply nods her head and follows her lord. She has already forgiven him the lonely years without him. She knows it is hard for him to acknowledge any wrong on his part. And she doesn't mind.

10. "Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine" by The Killers
She couldn't scream while I held I close
I swore I'd never let her go
…There ain't no motive for this crime
Jenny was a friend of mine
To lose you once for so long is enough. I have found you again--even if you are not the same. I will hold as I should have in your first life. I will wipe away the tears you cry now as you try to explain that you don't know me. I know you aren't the same. But I will pretend you are my Rin and love you as I have dreamed of loving you for centuries.
You scream and I only draw you closer.

As a small note... I tried to write different Rin/Sess elements each time, even if I don't really agree with or like those elements. -shrugs-
