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.

4. Down to the River to Pray (sorry, I have no idea who sings this on my iTunes)

Kagome walked moderately to the river. Kneeling at its banks, she scrubbed away the gore and guts and blood of the demons killed that afternoon.

She prayed for the betterment of the village, that they could move on from these traumas.

She discreetly watched Inuyasha as his hands thrashed in the freezing water some meters away.

He too, was washing off blood. But she knew he wouldn't be able to cleanse himself of the memories of the aftermath of his bloodlust, and she prayed for him.

A/N: So, you know that weird thing that happened to ch12 when I uploaded it? Of course you don't! Because that happened to ch13 too. Basically, I was able to upload them, but no alert came out saying so. I really hope that doesn't happen to this one. It's really starting to annoy me. So, point is, go check out chapters 12 and 13 after you've read this one. They should cheer you up too; they're much cuter and sweeter. Lighter too.

As for this one...I apologize for the awkwardsauce. I liked the idea a lot, but it took me too much of the song to think of it, so I rushed in getting it down. Ah well. Hope you like it anyway. Reviews are always appreciated!
