An outlaw shinobi song about Kagome [Verse 1] Down where the lanterns flicker red, Past the gates where the law won't tread, There's a shadow moving through the rain, Kagome's back on the midnight train. Kunai tucked beneath her coat, Sake barrels strapped beneath the boat, No forehead protector, no clan name— Just a wanted girl who learned the game. They say the Yakuza know her well, She walks through fire like a trip through hell, One hand pours and one hand fights, She runs the moonshine through the night. [Chorus] 🎵 Raise that cup of moonshine sake, Drink it down for old times' sake! Kagome rides where the red moons rise, With a rogue's grin and a killer's eyes. No lord, no village, no master to obey, She sells her shadow at the end of every day. If you hear three knocks when the moon hangs low— Hide your money, boy... Kagome's at the door. 🎵 [Verse 2] The ANBU came with masks of white, Three rooftops down in the dead of night, Kagome laughed and kicked the wall, Sent one through a window and dropped them all. “I'm not a hero, I'm not your saint, And I don't drink tea with the Daimyō's paint. You want my head? Come collect your fee— But don't forget who owns the street.” She vanishes beneath the crimson moon, Leaving nothing but an empty room. A trail of cherry blossoms, smoke, and flame— And six empty bottles bearing her name. [Chorus] 🎵 Raise that cup of moonshine sake, Drink it down for old times' sake! Kagome rides where the red moons rise, With a rogue's grin and a killer's eyes. No lord, no village, no master to obey, She sells her shadow at the end of every day. If you hear three knocks when the moon hangs low— Hide your money, boy... Kagome's at the door. 🎵 [Bridge — quieter] They say she once had somewhere to belong, A village bell, a family song. But shinobi make ghosts of girls like her, So she became the thing they fear. Now every barrel carries more than drink, Every road brings her closer to the brink. And somewhere beneath that outlaw smile, There's a girl who's been running for quite a while. [Final Chorus] 🎵 So raise that cup of moonshine sake, Here's to every rule she had to break! Let the gamblers shout, let the shamisen play, Kagome's running contraband till the break of day. No Hokage's seal, no village chain, Just a kunai, a wagon, and a midnight rain. If the moon turns silver and the crows all soar— Don't ask who's knocking... Kagome's at the door. 🎵 [Outro — whispered] “Pour another cup.” “The night is still young.” “And the Yakuza still owe me.”
