So guys, I was bored and looking for a screen name, and I came across the lyrics to this song. I've never heard it, but the lyrics struck and song fic chord, and I just had to write this. Please tell me what you think. Hope you enjoy it!

DISCLAIMER: I own nothing.. other than the idea for this story... cries

xXx Tainted Love xXx

Sango tossed and turned in her sleep. Finally, she rose, not knowing what else to do. The dream she had awoken from was already beginning to fade. She tied her mahogany locks in a low ponytail, and closed her eyes, trying to remember the dream. All she could bring to mind was Miroku... Sango sighed loudly.

Miroku...

He brought up so many emotions in Sango.

She was frustrated so much by him. She never knew just what to think. Sango was annoyed. Annoyed that she never really had Miroku, and knew she never would. Sango was upset. Upset that she couldn't hold her feelings back, and that she was reduced to tears by the mere thought of him some days. Sango was angry. Angry that she got played by the jerk. Always thinking he felt the same, and then having him turn and find another young, beautiful girl to flirt with.

Those girls...

They were so unlike Sango. Soft, gentle, petite, and so beautiful. In comparison, Sango felt like nothing. She wasn't soft, she was hardened by a life's worth of hard work and pain. She wasn't gentle, she was fierce and scrappy. Sango wasn't petite, she was lean and strong. Sango definitely wasn't beautiful.

Nothing like them.

The tears began to fall, and Sango roughly wiped them away, only to have them quickly replaced with more hot tears. Sango walked to the living room, sitting down in front of the fire. The light of the fire in the fireplace dimmed and died, and Sango felt all her happiness leave with it. The warmth replaced with a damp, cold feeling. Inside and out. Sango left her house. She needed to go for a drive, go somewhere, do something.

She needed to get out.

Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
From the pain that you drive into the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light
For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night

As she walked, Sango reminisced about every moment she had ever had with Miroku. From the first time they met to the very night she was living. One moment stood alone to her

Flashback

"Hello" came a deep voice on the other end of the phone.

"Miroku" Sango said.

"Hm" he replied, knowing it was Sango.

"Do you think we could... maybe... talk" she asked quietly. In her head, she was screaming 'No, he doesn't need to know. I can keep this bottled up!' but her heart needed to be free of some of her worries.

"Is it about Kohaku" he asked. Sango smirked. He always seemed so all-knowing. But did he really know it all?

"Yes, some of it" She replied ruefully. Miroku must have known it was Kohaku. It was all Sango thought about. Her brother was so sick. So very sick, and Sango felt so helpless watching him slowly fade away on a blindingly white hospital bed.

"So" Miroku pried, trying to get Sango to say something.

"You know what, lets go for a walk" She said, stalling. Miroku agreed, and they planned to meet in an hour.

Miroku met up with Sango at their favourite hiking spot. There Sango let everything go. All her emotions, everything. Sango and Miroku walked for miles in the woods. Sango spilled out her heart and soul, leaving little for him to guess about her life. She managed to keep her feelings out of everything, though, knowing that she wasn't ready to tell all.

Miroku smiled in all the right places, and frowned at all the right times. He seemed to absorb every word she said with great care and thoughts. At least.. that's how it seemed.

With all she had told him, she felt closer to him. She felt their relationship had grown. Apparently he didn't feel the same. Barely five minutes after they had finished their deep discussion, he was drooling over some other woman. He didn't give Sango a second thought, he just left.

She felt deserted.

Alone

Sadness soon turned to anger as Sango realized it was nothing to him. Nothing had changed. Sango was still only a distant friend. Her heart and soul poured onto his lap and he just brushed it off.

She couldn't believe she had even cried on his shoulder. She shook with rage. Sango vowed never to leave herself so unguarded ever again.

End Flashback

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a girl could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Oh...tainted love
Tainted love

Sango's eyes brimmed with tears again, the feeling of betrayal coming rushing back. This pervert was the one who left her feeling so down. Him. He made her want to cry, scream and so much more. These feelings were more than she could take some times.

Sango continued to drive, not really going anywhere in particular. She just needed to think...

It was hard sometimes. Being friends with someone, but having to keep all your feelings from them. She knew if she gave her heart to him, it would only get broken. She also knew that if she didn't, she might go insane.

Sango pressed the gas pedal harder. She needed to get away. Clear her head. Sango knew where she could stay.

All that ran through Sango's mind was Miroku. 'It wouldn't ever work out between us. We're too different. He needs a toy, not someone like me...'

Now I know I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
You don't really want it any more from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And you'll think love is to pray
But I'm sorry I don't pray that way

Sango remembered how perverted Miroku was. Sometimes it made her so angry. He was such a tease. He didn't know the meaning of commitment. He didn't know the meaning of love. He didn't know that he was the one she loved...

Sango finally took in her surroundings, and noticed where she was. She was in the good part of town. Sango also noticed it was beginning to rain, and turned on the windshield wipers. Finally Sango came to a decision. She knew where she wanted to go now...

She pulled into a driveway to a large house not long after that. By then the rain was coming down hard. She dashed up to the well lit house as fast as she could. Soaking wet she rang the doorbell. Sango knew it was late, but she also knew that the owner of the house would answer nonetheless.

All the while, Miroku was on her mind...

Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now I'm going to pack my things and go
Tainted love, tainted love
Touch me baby, tainted love
Tainted love

A tall, handsome man answered the door.

"Takeda..." Sango said breathlessly
