+Chapter 01+

Another Sleepless night

The night felt cold as usual, the December wind wrapping the Tokyo night perfectly, with the many sparkling lights from the buildings, a crowd of people spread on the streets, like they don't know the difference between night and day. That's why they call it the sleepless city.

"Ne, Kagome neechan, how could you ever love that arrogant man?" A curious 16 years old girl asked as she walked beside her cousin. After hearing the innocent girls question, the older woman blushed and started to blabber something that she didn't understand.

"Aw, come on, don't be so shy, it's only me, Rin, your cousin." That made the 22 year old woman blush even harder. How could she act like a teenager in front of a teenager? That's silly.

"Well, ah, that's the shop. Let's go in, we have to buy Christmas presents for everyone!" Kagome said trying to avoiding the subject. Then she walked into the shop, her face still bright red. Rin smirked at her cousins attitude then followed her into the shop.

A sweet girly shop.

That was her first impression about the gift shop. As she walked in, she found a lot of cute stuff, and the decorating just so... sweet. It's just wasn't her style. She actually preferred something like guitar equipment. She was a vocalist in a guitar band called 'Day Walker', and she was proud of it. She glanced at Kagome, who seemed busy searching for some gifts. Her eyes then flew outside the large window to the big Christmas tree placed beautifully in Tokyo Square. It shone brightly, and strangely it her recall a previous conversation she had with a friend.

............Flashback...........

Rin almost choked on her coke as she heard the news. She stared wide eyed at the person in front of her, a beautiful and sweet girl smiling happily. She was looking at Ringo, her so called band mate.

"And then I said, 'I love you too'." She added proudly.

Rin blinked and forced a smile, then said bitterly. "Wow."

"Aw, don't be so sad... you'll find your special person someday!" Ringo tried to cheer her friend up, and Rin could only smile and stare obviously at her note book, where she put all of her lyrics for their songs.

"Ah, do you know legend of the big Christmas tree at Tokyo Square? they said it will show you your soul mate on a Christmas Eve in front of the tree!" Ringo said.

"No way, there are a lot of people at that place, how could we know that he's the one?" Rin challenged. Ringo place her hand on her heart and said with confident tone.

"There will be a sign Rin, and your heart will tell you that he's the one!" Rin sweat dropped.

............End Flashback...........

"Rin? Rin?" Kagome waved her hand in front of Rin's blank face. She came back to earth with a start.

"Huh? Wha? Oh Are you finished Kagome neechan?" Rin asked. Kagome smirked, then looked at Rin with a teasing expression.

"Are you thinking about Tohruu-kun again?" She asked with a sing-song tone. Rin's expression suddenly changed to unease.

"Um... nah... He's already got a girlfriend" She whispered and laughed, but she put on the wrong expression.

"Rin? Are you ok?" Kagome asked. She gasped when she saw Rin's eyes begin to get watery.

"Uh, yeah. Let's get back then." She said, once again with a faked smile. Kagome nodded and they walked silently home.

'Ah... another heartbreak for me...' Rin whispered bitterly into the cold winter night...

"Inu Yasha, I will never allow you to marry that girl! She has nothing! She's working at a small, dirty barbershop! What a shameful job!" An old man said.

"But I love her dad, and you will too." Inu Yasha said.

"Gah! I'll be giving her a piece of my mind!" He beamed.

"Anata, why don't we ask her to come to our Christmas party next week? You can judge and meet her in private then." Inu Yasha's mother said wisely.

"Hm... a good idea I guess. Besides, Sesshoumaru, your step brother will be back home that day, so he could meet your 'soon to be fiancé' too." He smirked.

Sesshoumaru. Hearing his name made Inu Yasha's face harden. His step brother, and the person he hates the most... will come back home after 8 years in America.

'This is nightmare!' He cursed.

They say Tokyo is a sleepless city, they say Tokyo had it all...

Happy times, sad times,

And tonight it probably felt it again,

Tokyo night... so cold yet so warm...

A sleepless city that will never be able to rest...
