A/N: I know you all are waiting for my other stories. Don't worry, I will finish Why Now? Then I will stop writing for a while. I am losing my inspiration. It sucks. Well, I have had this on my mind for awhile. I hope you like it, but I have a feeling that most of you will hate me for it. Just so you know, it is from Sango's point of View.
Disclaimer: I don't own Inu Yasha, or this song which is by Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss.
Whiskey Lullabye
Kagome climbed on the train and got ready to leave. We watched Inu Yasha run after the train. Miroku and I knew she wasn't coming back, Inu Yasha knew, too.
.: She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette.
She broke his heart: he spent his whole life trying to forget:.
That's when he started to drink. He started to drink whiskey. He just kept drinking and drinking, but he always mentioned Kagome.
.: We watched him drink his pain away, a little at a time,
But he never could drunk enough to get her off his mind:.
Then one night, Miroku and I found him. Dead. He had drank too much, and now he was dead. He finally got rid of her memory. His life was short and he just cut it even shorter when he started to drink. Miroku and I found him with his face down in the pillow, with a note. I picked up the note and it read: "I'll love her till I die…."
We buried him beneath the Scared Tree.
.: Until the night:
He put the bottle to his head and pulled the trigger.
And finally drank away her memory.
Life is short, but this time it was bigger,
Then the strength he had to get up off his knees.
We found him with his face down in the pillow
With a note that said "I'll love her till I die"
And when we buried him beneath the willow,
The angels sang a whiskey lullabye.

Kagome came back for Inu Yasha's funeral. Everybody was whispering about how she left Inu Yasha because she was cheating on him. But it wasn't true. Miroku and I knew she blamed herself. She had always blamed herself. She had taken up Inu Yasha's drinking. She had been drinking for years and year. We knew she was drinking to get Inu Yasha off her mind, but she couldn't get drunk enough.
.: The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself.
For years and years, she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath.
She finally drank her pain away, a little at a time,
But she never could get drunk enough to get off her mind:.
Then one night, we went to check up on Kagome. But she had gone the same way as Inu Yahsa. She was dead. She was face down in the pillow, holding his picture. She had also cut her life short. We buried her beneath the Scared Tree, beside Inu Yasha.
.: Until the night:
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger.
And finally drank away his memory.
Life is short, but this time it was bigger,
Then the strength she had to get up off her knees.
We found her with her face down in the pillow
Clinging to his picture for dear life
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
The angels sang a whiskey lullabye.
