~Disclaimer... Do you honestly think I own them? -_- If I owned them Kagome would be dead, Kouga and InuYasha would be shaggin' like bunnies...or canines, and Sesshoumaru would spend his nights in Naraku's arms. Unless that's happened already and I missed it...I don't own them.

(A/N) *evil glare, strained voice* Wow. I'm sooo happy. Three reviews. That's the most I've ever gotten. (does sarcastic dance) But thank you to bluefuzzyelf and Reine Keri. Reine-chan, Hakura-chan...you two are the best.
Nika: Consider yourselves lucky. You're getting praise from my yami. I do believe that's a first. (gets punched by Alice) *sigh* I think I'm getting used to this.
Alice: No, this is not the last chapter. There's one more to go. If anyone cares why the story is like it is...that's the way the song goes. I made the fic based on the song. So there.

Chapter Three:
I returned to the next morning to find my brother's body hanging from the Goshinboku. The tears still flowed freely when Sango and Miroku found me and brought me back to their house where they explained what had happened.
"And the sky?" I asked through my tear filled eyes. "Why is it so dark?"
Sango put her arms around my shoulders to comfort me and said, "We don't know. The sun didn't rise and the stars don't shine. It's like nothing I've ever seen before."
Miroku shook his head. "It's as if the gods have abandoned us. Left us to our doom. What could have caused such a curse to be placed on us?"
I sniffled again and said softly, "I killed him."
Sango hugged me tight. "No, don't think that way." she comforted. "You couldn't have known."
Pushing her off of me I stood on shaky feet. "No." I stated. "I did it. I killed Kouga."
Miroku and Sango looked at me with uncertain eyes.
"How could you have done such a thing, Kagome-sama?" Miroku asked. "You're heart is too pure and Kagura-sama said the wound couldn't have been caused by human hands or weapons."
That's when I reached into my bag and pulled out the only thing MY father had left me. A gun.
"What is that, Kagome-chan?" Sango asked curiously.
The tears poured down my cheeks anew as I said, "Let me show you."
I ran outside with both of them on my heels. I began shouting for all the village to gather and soon they did.
Standing in the middle of them I declared loudly, "Listen to me! All of you! I killed Kouga with this weapon!" I raised the gun and pointed it into the sky, firing a single shot into the absolute blackness above to prove it's lethal potential. The bullet glowed with my unintentional purification and cut through the clouds, bringing out the sun and dispelling the curse. Not bothering to notice the sunshine on my face I said, "I killed him...and you killed my brother. And now...I have no reason to live."
With that I once again raised the gun, this time to my temple. And then I fell into darkness.

~The Night The Lights Went Out In Sengoku:
He was on his way home from a Shikon hunt
Been two weeks gone and he thought he'd stop
At Wei's and have him a drink 'fore he went home to her
Kouga Wo-Lo said hello
He said "Hi, what's doin'?"
Wo said "Sit down I got some bad news that's gonna hurt"
Said I'm your best friend and you know that's right
But your young bride ain't home tonight
Since you been gone she's been seeing that hanyou guy Naraku
Now he got mad and he saw red
Kouga said "Boy don't you lose your head
Cause to tell you the truth I've been with her myself"
Chorus:
That's the night that the lights went out in Sengoku
That's the night that they hung an innocent man
Well don't trust your soul to no back woods feudal miko
Cause those in the town's got bloodstains on their hands
Well, Kouga got scared and left the bar
Walking on home cause he didn't live far you see
Kouga didn't have many friends and he just lost him one
Brother thought his wife must've left town
So he went home and finally found the only thing
Daddy had left him and that was a sword
He went off to Kouga's house
Slipping through the back woods quiet as a mouse
Came upon some tracks too small for Kouga to make
He looked through the flap on the back porch door
And he saw Kouga lying on the floor
In a puddle of blood and he started to shake
The village patrol was making their rounds
So he yelled a lot just to flag em down
A high handed miko grabbed her rope and said
"Why'd you do it?"
The miko said death in a make believe trial
Patted the patrolman on the back with a smile and said
"Husband's waiting at home and I got to get to him"
Repeat Chorus
Well they hung my brother before I could say
The tracks he saw while on his way
To Kouga's house and back that night were mine
And his cheatin wife had never left town
That's one body that'll never be found
You see little sister don't miss when she aims her gun
Repeat Chorus X 2
