mamabearcatfanfics: My first writing for 2021! I challenged myself today to create a ficlet. I did try this once before, when I wrote The Rival last year, but that was too long at just under 1300 words. Today I did it. It’s exactly 999 words. Not sure how often I’ll do these though, sticking to a word count is hard! I spent around the same amount of time culling words as I did writing them!

Hopefully his safehaven remained untouched. Inuyasha guided them inside, then dragged the heavy flat stone propped up against the wall over the cave entrance to block the howling wind. He could see, as could Shippou and Kirrara, but the dripping humans huddled near the entrance were now in almost total darkness . Miroku’s arms hugged Kagome and Sango in an effort to warm them, even though he was shivering as violently as they were. Kirrara popped back into her kitten form, and was immediately covered by a pile of snow larger than she was. Inuyasha could hear Shippou’s teeth chattering loudly. He dusted the snow off his fire rat, then squatted down in front of the kit. “Runt”, he said softly, so that the humans couldn’t hear, “if we don’t get a fire goin’, they’re not gonna make it. I know you’re tired but I need your help to get it started.” Shippou nodded, his tiny teeth rattling too much to talk. Keep reading -- source link
