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. Old Joe has Gone Fishing
"Where did Seshoumaru-sama go?"
"Oh, he went hunting with the young lord Inuyasha."
"Ah, may they bring in many deer and perhaps even a boar!"
"They have been gone for quite a while…"
"You don't think anything happened, do you?"
"You don't think—Seshoumaru-sama has always resented Inuyasha-sama and his mother—"
"No! He couldn't have—could he?"
"It's possible, and you know it! How the elder lord detests him, calls him an abomination—"
The scurrying servants shut up with guilty looks as the subject of their chatter came through the doors—sans a certain young hanyou.
"Seshoumaru-sama?" one dared ask, a prompt. The others couldn't hide their confused looks as they saw no Inuyasha at his side…
"The hanyou will not be returning. His human relatives have decided to rear him instead," Seshoumaru said tonelessly, and that was the end of that.

A/N: The song for this is the most difficult choir song I've ever done (7/8 time; a round with 4 distinct sections, one of which involves a scale run on one vowel; & 7 part harmony, if I remember right...It's also monstrously long) and also happens to be a very weird song. It's about this fisherman, Old Joe, who takes this boy, Young Joe, out fishing. A storm comes up, and the boy doesn't come back, and people assume Old Joe let him die. The song is sung by the people of the village (did I mention that this comes from an opera?), and it's hectic and gossipy. This was the first idea that fit even marginally that popped into my head, so I ran with it. And yes, I know it's not canon. Hope you liked it. If you listen to the song, it will make more sense... Reviews are always appreciated!
