Chapter 1

Rin was humming the tune Dumb while preparing the coffee shop for the day. One of her best friends Kristen had dropped in to visit the day before and shared her new song. Kristen had just cut her new single and was talking about the experience to their other friends, Kagome, and Sango. The four women enjoyed some quality girl talk, and excellent coffee and then Kristen had to jet to another gig. Kristen had left Rin a copy so she could let it play in the store. And Rin had done just that. She played it all day and after the store was closed.

Stupid Love, not as easy as I thought it was

Leaves me feeling like it always does

Young and foolish, so alone

"I feel like she read my mind. Young and foolish—you got it sister." sighed Rin. "Why is it so hard to find the right guy?"

Well if I could trust all the lovers that I've come across

Maybe then I wouldn't feel so lost but that's a luck I've never known

Rin reflected on her love life.

There was Jakotsu, but he ended up being gay.

There was Bankotsu, but he ended up liking Jakotsu.

There was Suiskotsu, but he couldn't commit to anything. It was like he had two separate personalities.

Someone had fixed her up on a blind date with Muikostu but he wasn't her type. How did her friend think they would even compatible! Urgh.

Maybe I'm just clueless to the games that lovers play

Games were never my thing anyway

But maybe fate will change my luck some day

I bet that there's still someone out there waiting for my love to come

"But he's untouchable", sighed Rin.

Well they say that love is beautiful but right now it makes me feel so dumb

Oh it makes me feel so dumb

Oh wo-wo-wo

Well it's hard to learn just how easy you can crash and burn when your loving is not returned

But that's the way it always goes.

Well if it was easy, I'd be living oh so breezy

With a love that would never leave me, but here I stand all alone

Maybe I'm just clueless to the games that lovers play

Games were never my thing anyway

But maybe fate will change my luck some day

I bet that there's still someone out there waiting for my love to come

Well they say that love is beautiful but right now it makes me feel so dumb

To be stuck with all the memories and the tears of every heart beat it just won't move on

"Forget this. I'm better off single", thought Rin and she finished the last chorus of Dumb.

Maybe I'm just clueless to the games that lovers play

Games were never my thing anyway

But maybe fate will change my luck one day

I bet that there's still someone out there waiting for my love to come

Well they say that love is beautiful but right now it makes me feel so dumb

Oh it makes me feel so dumb

Oh wo-wo-wo

Oh it makes me feel

Oh it makes me feel

So dumb

She reminisced.

When Rin was five years old she and Kagome were playing in the snow. They had so much fun they lost track of time. Before too long Rin's hands were so cold she couldn't hold anything or feel anything. Kagome yelled for help and InuYasha came. But InuYasha didn't know what to do, so he grabbed his teenage older half-brother Sesshomaru to help. As soon as Sesshomaru saw the dainty, petite girl in tears in the snow he snatched her and placed her up to his chest. Rin was shaking uncontrollably. As he walked to the house from the park he slipped her under his sweater, right up against his chest. Nestled in the warmth and surrounded by Sesshomaru's cologne, Rin started to feel her hands again, only now, her hands were painful and tingling. Her tears increased and she became inconsolable. Sesshomaru got her quickly to his father, the town physician, and InuTaisho shooed him from the treatment room. Rin recovered and graciously thanked all but after that she was very bashful around Sesshomaru.
