Hi. I doubt that anyone still remembers me. I took a break from the InuYasha fandom for almost a year now. I've been hanging out in the Naruto fandom, but I'm back with another mini-series.

This new mini-series will focus on Sango and songs sung by Pink. The first obviously being Don't Let Me Get Me. Following will be You and Your Hand, Who Knew?, So What!, and Sober, in that order.

I hope that everyone enjoys this story and the stories that will follow it.

Chapter 1: Sango: The Rebel

"Go! Go!" The enthusiastic cheers echoed from the gym class. They were having a relay race that day in class. Most of the students got into it, refusing to lose, however, one student wanted no part of the class.

The girl, Sango, hated school and most other things in life. She preferred being alone rather than surrounded by "those mindless drones", as she thought all girls who followed fads and fashions were.

When it came time to receive the relay bar, Sango stepped up to the line. Kagome Higurashi passed the bar to her. Sango noticed that her "team" was in the lead, but she didn't care. She jogged slowly around the track. She could hear her "team" try to cheer for her. She laughed because it was obvious that the others didn't even know her name.

Because of her lack of effort, Sango dropped her teams finishing spot down to third place. The rebel girl could tell that Kagome Higurashi wasn't very happy. She smiled at the thought. She won't be fuming when she goes to cheerleading practice. Stupid cheer captain.

Gym class neared its end and the girls headed back into their locker room to change. As Sango changed by herself, Kagome Higurashi, already finished, walked over. Obviously noticing Sango's socks, she asked Sango in her prissy cheerleader voice, "Don't you ever wash your socks? They're so dirty."

Sango looked up, a frown fixed on her hardened face. "No. Why? Do you want to smell them?"

Kagome scoffed. "Ewww, you are so gross. Why do you even come to school anyway? Just drop out already, you emo freak!"

"Don't think I haven't tried, wannabe cheerleader!"

Kagome Higurashi huffed and left the locker room. Sango slipped on her black combat boots and left as well just as the bell rang. As she walked to her next class, Sango saw Kagome Higurashi meet up with her boyfriend, football captain and quarterback, InuYasha. Time for another classic make-out session, she told herself as she distanced herself as far away as possible from the happy couple.

Sango felt that the Higurashi family was weird. Only Kikyo, Kagome's older twin sister, was normal enough for Sango, but she couldn't judge the other three children, Souta, Kaede, and Rin; they were too young.

It was through Kikyo that Sango had met Sesshomaru-sensei. He was a teacher at their high school and Sango had dated him. However, once the school administration found out about this, they fired Sesshomaru immediately and he was fined.

The day passed by and soon Sango found herself on her school bus. She knew that she should be embarrassed because she was one of the only seniors who still took the bus, but it didn't bother her. She didn't mind standing out.

Once she found a seat and sat down, she pulled out her iPod, placed her earbuds in her ears, and blared her screamo, punk music.

She didn't have to wait long to get off the bus. When the bus stopped at her house, she exited quickly, still blaring her Ipod. As she walked up to her nice, big, neat, normal house, the bus pulled away.

Sango never liked coming home from school. She never liked going to school either. Her parents hated her, but really, who could blame them? They were a normal couple, living a normal life, who just so happened to have a not-so-normal teenage daughter. It was obvious that they favored her little brother, Kohaku, over her, but he was a lot more normal than she was.

At dinner that night, the four ate quietly until Sango's and Kohaku's mother, Kaoru, spoke up, "Sango, your principal called… again. Who were you fighting with this time?"

"Kagome Higurashi. She's just…so annoying. She only thinks she's all cool because she's captain of the cheerleading squad."

Kaoru shook her head. "I don't understand. You two used to be such good friends."

"Yeah, in, like, elementary school. People change with time, Mom."

"Sango, I thought that we'd told you that fighting is not the answer," her father, Iruka, spoke up.

Sango pushed the rest of her food around on her plate before she decided that she was no longer hungry. "A girl's gotta be tough if they want to make it in this world." She pushed her plate toward the center of the table and left the room, heading for the sweet, solitary comfort of her bedroom.

I heard this song a long time ago and this idea formulated. These stories should all be short, about 5 or 10 chapters, depending on several factors. Chapter lengths may fluctuate

I hope that everyone likes this little mini-series. I don't know how long I'll stay in the InuYasha fandom this time because I've got several cool Naruto oneshots to post as well.

Anyway, until next time…
