Summary: When seventeen year old Rin Fumiko began her first year at Shikon University, she didn't expect to be to be courted by the powerful and dangerously sexy Sesshomaru Takahashi. She didn't expect to fall in love. And she damn sure didn't expect to get caught up in her lying games. As Rin tries to keep a mind-blowing secret from him, she's also trying to keep herself and her friends safe from an unknown figure with ties to her past. Who is this stranger? Why is he after her and her friends? And what will happen when Sesshomaru discovers the truth?

For my first readers, thank you so much. I honestly didn't think anyone would look at this. I really thought this would suck. But please be patient with me; I live in a boarding school, so I'm only home on the weekend, this website is blocked at my school, and I'm a senior in high school. I will do the best that I can to get back to this.

Chapter 1

The Lying Games Begin

"Three can only keep a secret…"

"…if two of them are dead –

"Rin!" Rin Fumiko's hazel eyes flew open with surprise, gasping for air. Her chest heaved almost painfully and she was left clutching the armrests of her seat, glancing out the window of the vehicle to see a large campus. Rini Uzimaki, one of Rin's favorite pop singers, blared softly through her earphones.

"What," Rin asked, eyeing her Aunt, who stared back at her with concern.

"We're here." Sakura observed her niece, noticing the last traces of fear disappearing. "Are you alright, dear? You've been acting weird for the last few weeks." Rin nodded, yanking the little earphones out of her ears and turning her iPhone off.

"Never been better," she said hurriedly and stepped out of the car. Just as she planted her feet on the lush green grass, her cell vibrated and she checked for the new text. She gasped.

Lying on the first day will only cause trouble in the end, pretty girl.

-Unknown

Rin gulped before sliding the phone back into the pocket of her jeans. She turned her eyes back to the campus and smiled brightly.

Shikon University was as beautiful as she thought it was when she first got her acceptance letter. When she first took a tour of the school, an old acquaintance was the first to volunteer to show her around. Rin fell in love with the dance studio, where she spent most of her day, the music room, and every other room that was shown to her. She'd been sad to say goodbye, but even happier once that acceptance letter came in the mail. At seventeen, Rin Fumiko would begin her freshman year at Shikon University.

"Umm…hello, these bags can't carry themselves, ya know," her aunt called playfully. Rin turned on her heel, smirking.

"I know, Auntie. Geesh…aaaaaaahhhhh!" Rin squealed the minute she saw a familiar body and raced towards it. She threw herself energetically at one of her best friends, Kenji Hatoshi. They fell into the ground.

"Damn, girl! You act like you didn't see me last night," he joked, hugging her back. Rin leaned up on his chest, eyeing him flirtatiously.

"Couldn't help myself, baby. You left before I could give you a proper goodnight kiss," she said seductively with a grin, dimples forming. Kenji smirked.

"Well, if you put it that way," he said and flipped them over so that he was on top before tickling her mercilessly. Rin squealed, trying to escape.

"If you two are done flirting, I'd like to go home to my boyfriend, thank you." Sakura called loudly, catching several other students' attentions. Rin and Kenji's faces reddened with embarrassment and they scrambled to their feet.

"Oooh, Auntie Sakura's got a new man," Kenji proclaimed, stalking towards the older woman. He lifted her from her feet, thanks to his demonic powers, and hugged her tightly. Once she was on the floor, Kenji whispered, "Come on, darling. Tell Daddy all about this one. Are you two kids being safe? Using protection?" Sakura's green eyes widened and she bat Kenji's shoulder playfully.

"Inappropriate," she exclaimed, shoving him towards Rin's bags. Rin raised an inquisitive eyebrow, but said nothing. Kenji had been her best friend since she was three. Their families had stayed together even after her parents' deaths. He'd always been there for her, defending her back in middle and high school when those boys used to think they could flirt with her all the time. Being a wolf demon had its perks and one of them was that people didn't like challenging him, especially when it came to Rin. You fuck with her; you get a 5'11 male demon weighing 160 pounds of pure muscle on your ass. And trust me, it ain't pretty!

"Come on, dear. You can tell me," he probed further, brown eyes twinkling mischievously. "Tall? Sexy? Nice piece of meat? Come on, help a brother out –

"Rin, get your friend," Sakura called, walking away from Kenji laughing. Rin grabbed her last three bags and led Kenji away from the car. He grinned at her innocently.

"You better stop before she pulls out that pistol on you," Rin teased, recalling her last birthday when her Aunt almost shot Kenji for prying into her love life and messing with her boyfriend.

"Point taken," Kenji agreed before bumping Rin gently. "We made it. Finally out of the house and in party central." Rin rolled her eyes.

"You still gotta study. And you need to be invited to one of the parties." Kenji shrugged.

"And you keep forgetting that you're friends with a sorority chick." He stared at Rin seriously. "We're going to some parties." Rin chuckled at his expression.

Kagura Featherstone, half-American and half-Japanese, attended Kamiya High School two years ago and took a liking to Rin. As soon as she discovered Rin was interested in Shikon University, she jumped to give the younger girl a tour. And once Rin was accepted, Rin was definitely the first girl on her list to join their sorority.

"Whatever." The trio walked through campus, saying hello to other people and took in the sight. It was only the beginning of September and the summer feel hadn't left yet. A lot of people were still wearing shorts and sandals. The grass was still green and the sun was burning down on everyone unforgivingly. Rin swiped the sweat off of her forehead as she smiled at the dorm.

"Nice. We're in the same dorm." Kenji told her and Rin beamed. Once inside, Rin got her key and room number and hopped onto the elevator. As soon as they got off the elevator, they were at Rin's door and saw that it was open. Rin squealed.

"Best friend!" The pink-haired beauty from inside turned to her.

"Best friend!" Both dropped whatever they had in their hands and embraced each other tightly, screaming like banshees. Kenji and Sakura shared a knowing look, shook their heads, and entered the suite. Rin and the other girl were too into their conversation.

"I can't –

"Me neither –

"OMG –

"I know, right –

"Again, you're acting like we didn't see each other last night," Kenji interjected. The girls shot him distasteful looks.

"Shut up, jerk!" The pink haired one snapped. Rin glared even more.

"Yeah, you're just jealous because she's not all over you," Rin told him, making the girl blush and Kenji roll his eyes.

"Rin!" Rin glanced at her friends before shrugging.

"What? Kira, he's mad because you're not kissing and hugging him." Rin gave Kira a knowing look. "Been holdin' out on the puppy?" Kira's cheeks were aflame.

"Oh, you're dead!" Rin squealed as Kenji dropped the boxes he held, lunged over the sofa, and lunged for her. She dodged him and ran only to be caught by her Aunt. They halted swiftly at her sharp gaze.

"Unload first. Then, Kenji, you can do what you want with her afterwards," Sakura said. Rin's eyes widened and she gasped at her Aunt's betrayal. Kenji gave her a promising glare.

After getting settled and unloading, Sakura left, promising to call Rin after her date. Once she was gone, the young adults gathered in the girls' living room. Rin was painting her fingernails black, Kira was reading a magazine, and Kenji was eating food, picking with Rin's hair. The sound of vibration filled the room. Rin picked up her phone.

Party at bar tonight. Bring BFFs. Cant wait 2 c u.

Luv,

Kagura

"Guess we are partyin' tonight," she told her friends. Kenji jumped up.

"Oh, yeah. Time to bust a move," he exclaimed, twirling his hips around and swinging his arms above his head. Kira giggled. Rin just stared. "Oh, don't hate 'cause you can't dance like me."

"Give me something to hate off first," she replied coolly.

"And learn how to dance while you're at it," Kira added with a giggle.

"So, how long is it gonna take for y'all to get dressed?" Kenji asked after almost three hours. He'd been ready for two hours and was lying across Rin's bed playing a game on his phone. Rin peeked her curly head out of the bathroom.

"As long as it takes, so shut up and wait," she told him and went back to what she was doing. Kenji grinned at the door.

"Come and say that to my face." After fixing her barely-there makeup, Rin walked out of the bathroom wearing only her pair of dark wash skinny jeans and a red satin push-up bra, which accented her lightly tanned fair skin. Kenji's mouth fell open. Kenji knew his best friend was sexy; he wasn't oblivious to the fact. Rin was slim, her stomach was flat, and her body held soft curves.

Rin's silky dark brown hair fell around her shoulders and down her back in soft curls with shorter strands grazing her shoulder blades. Her almond shaped hazel eyes were brought out with her long lashes, the barest hint of mascara visible. Her naturally pink lips were glossed to perfection and from where he was, Kenji could tell it was her favorite gloss. Strawberry-flavored. And she smelled like straight strawberry and vanilla, like always.

"Damn, best friend. If I wasn't…" Kenji trailed off, biting his lip and looking away from Rin. Rin smirked knowingly, placing her hands on her hips.

"If you weren't what?" No answer. Rin sighed. "You're gonna have to be honest with yourself soon. And with Kira –

"I'm not ready yet."

"Well, learn to be. Someone's gonna figure out you're gay and then what? Kira's gonna be pissed with you and then me." Kenji sighed, running his fingers through his short brown hair. Rin sat on the bed with him and stared into his grey eyes. "You know I love you, but I love Kira too. She's the sister I never had and the best friend a girl could ask for. And I hate lying to her just because you're not man enough to tell her the truth." Kenji hung his head in shame.

"Then why don't you just snitch?" He asked and she tilted his chin so that they could be eye to eye.

"Because you're my bestest best friend and again, I love you, Kenji. I won't tell until you're ready, but I can't keep a secret forever." She knew she was lying, but to hell with it. He needed to know that someone was on his side.

"I'll tell her soon. Promise."

"You better," Rin warned. Then she grinned with dimples showing through. "And you gotta admit. I look pretty sexy, huh." Kenji shoved her away.

"Go put your clothes on. You look like a wannabe hooker on laxatives." Rin threw a pillow at his head.
