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.

3. Look After You, The Fray

The sun seeped into the sky slowly, and suddenly. Light broke, and spilled, over the darkness, the field she wanted and did not want to see.

Inuyasha watched her with the feeling that he would burst. So many had died here—and she almost had, too…He had to tell her.

He moved towards her, stretching out a hand, but the words were lost in his throat, and her eyes were lost in the dim scene surrounding them.

She leaned against him, shaking. "Why, Inuyasha? Why did this happen? Why did Naraku—?"

"I don't know…" his mouth said, though he wanted to say something different. He stroked her hair.

"But…know this…" he began, bravely, touching her chin to make her look at him. He winced at her tears, but fought on. He had to say this.

"I…couldn't stop this. But…I…I'll never let it happen to you."

"Kagome…be…be mine to protect?"

A/N: Again, something of an idea of my little sister's. Though I don't know if 'mourning' is enough to call an idea...Meh. It was for me. My style would normally involve a lot more exposure to what Inuyasha's thinking, especially before his last phrase, (you know, to justify his sudden and somewhat uncharacteristic courage in the field of romance), but the time frame of the song didn't really allow for that. But to fit the song, I thought some sort of confession needed to be included. So....there it is, I suppose. Hope ya liked it. Reviews are always appreciated.
