A/N: Yay! New story! I didn't know if I should post this yet or not, but I did anyways. Just cause it's Valentine's Day and I could. I'll put more info about it in the next chapter's author note. There's gonna be a slight change in the timeline.

Enjoy!

"Riiiiiiiin, what are we doing here? It's lunchtime. Let's go get some fooooood," Shima whined, slouching in his spot behind the wall that the group (Shima, Rin, Yukio, Ryuji, Konekomaru, and Shiemi) was hiding behind.

"Shh! I didn't ask you guys to follow me! You'll blow my cover," Rin whispered harshly, clamping his hand over Shima's mouth and checking the shoe lockers that were around the corner.

Yukio adjusted his glasses and asked, "What are you doing here anyways, nii-san? You aren't going to cause trouble, are you?" [1]

Rin sighed, peeking around the corner once more before returning his attention back to the group. "You know what today is, right?"

Shima nodded enthusiastically, a perverted grin spreading across his face. "Of course! It's Valentine's Day! A day where I'll get showered with affection from beautiful ladies~!"

Rin rolled his eyes at the last bit. "Riiiiight…"

"Is this because of the anonymous box of chocolate you get every year?" Yukio asked, a knowing look on his face. His question caught everyone's attention.

"Oooo~! Rin's got a secret admirer? Do tell," Shima cooed, poking Rin's cheek a couple of times.

Rin got flustered and swatted Shima's hand away. "I-it's not like that! I just wanna know who it is!"

Seeing that Rin wasn't going to explain, Yukio decided to speak up. "Every year since kindergarten, Rin has received a box of chocolate with a note from a 'secret admirer'. Rin always found the chocolate in his shoe locker, even if it was locked. And when Valentine's Day didn't fall on a school day, the box of chocolate would be on our front door. Rin always failed when he tried to find out who his secret admirer was. But how can you be certain that this person even goes here, nii-san? After all, True Cross Academy is hard to get into."

"I'm not sure," Rin replied glumly. "But I have a feeling that she is. And this time I'll catch her!" With that, Rin continued to watch his shoe locker.

Not even 5 minutes later, Rin heard soft footsteps slowly approaching. He waved his hand to quiet his chattering friends and motioned to the lockers, completely focused on the approaching person.

A girl with brown hair and a pink winter scarf wrapped around her neck was walking down the hall. Her chocolate brown eyes scanned the halls before cautiously heading to Rin's shoe locker, a black and tan Shiba Inu puppy following shortly behind her.

"Come on Shadow, we need to hurry or we won't get to enjoy lunch," the girl whispered, shushing the dog when he barked loudly in response.

"Which one is his?" She asked Shadow. The puppy wagged his tail and ambled towards the lockers, nose to the ground. He barked and jumped when he was close to Rin's locker. Seeming to get the dog's message, the girl picked him up and walked down the aisle of lockers, stopping in front of Rin's when Shadow barked and waved his paw at the locker door.

"Good boy, Shadow! You get extra treats today," the girl cooed, putting the puppy back on the ground and laughing when Shadow seemed to do a victory dance.

"Okay, now I just have to figure out how to open this." The girl clutched the lock and took a deep breath, closing her eyes. She was still for a few moments and then slowly began to twist the dial. She jumped slightly when the lock clicked open.

The girl pumped her fist in the air briefly and then dug through her bag, pulling out a box of chocolates. She placed them in and closed the locker.

"Come on, Shadow. Let's go before someone finds us," the girl said, turning to walk back the way she came.

Rin wasn't going to let this opportunity go by. As soon as the girl turned away from him, he dashed out from his hiding spot and ran across the empty courtyard. "HEY YOU! WAIT!"

Rin heard the girl gasp and saw her tense up. Not even a moment later, she ran as fast as she could down the hallway without even taking glance back, Shadow running alongside her.

"I. Said. WAIT!" Rin growled. When he got close enough to her, Rin launched himself at her, tackling her to the ground.

"KYAAA! Get off of me, you pervert!" Rin was too busy with the girl to notice the black blur flying towards his head.
