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.

2. Never Say Never, by the Fray
There's a sloop to Sango's shoulders, and a stiffness to the way she strokes Kirara's fur and dismounts and makes camp that Kagome can't help but notice.
She's quite sure she knows why, too.
While Kagome and Inuyasha gallivanted in the future and Miroku among the younger women of the village, Sango ran into Kohaku only a few li away.
Inuyasha can smell Sango's despair. Miroku aches at her silence. Shippou is confused, but knows better for now than to say anything, in that inexplicable way some loud-mouth children have.
Kagome sees more than the despair, and the pain: she sees someone in need of saving.
And with smiles and kind words and her very presence, she does her best to bring Sango back from the cliff's edge.

A/N: Ok, I'm much happier with this. If 'happier' is the correct term. I didn't actually quote the song much, but I think it still fits well enough: 'Don't let me go/' seemed like an apt line from Sango's point of view. I meant to have some dialogue with Kagome saying 'never say never' in her inimitably sincere and fierce way, and encouraging Sango with her mere determination and obvious compassion, but ah well. As with many other scenes I think of, I end up writing intros. I still think this is is all right though. Hope you do as well. Reviews are always appreciated.
