Sesshomaru170 and LovelyJaded thank you for the reviews.
Sesshomaru170 - I agree with everything you say 200% XD But you gotta admire Kara for holding back when I would've pushed that sexy demon up against the wall and gotten mine XD...Who knows...maybe Kara will get hers very soon 'wink'
LovelyJaded - Thank you for the kind words and yea, Kara and Sesshoumaru are two stubbon people -_-. I hope you will enjoy this chapter.

"Quite the crowd showed up. Nervous?"
"Hardly."
"I’d be," Kouga muttered, sneaking a peak pass the curtain hiding backstage. He scanned the conference room and gave off a low whistle, shaking his head in disbelief. There was still twenty minutes left before the press conference started and already the room was packed with various reporters from various magazines. Some stood alone to the sides examining their cameras, making sure they were working properly while others stood in groups and were speculating in hushed voices the reason for the gathering.
"I expected our regulars to show up but if I’m not mistaking I think that’s...no, I’m sure that’s the reporter for Megumi’s Home & Garden. What the hell is he doing here?"
"Probably decided to provide their readers with something worth reading for once." Sesshoumaru replied in a dull voice while flipping through pages in some magazine.
Kouga snorted and shook his head while stepping back from the curtain. "Kami, I hope this doesn’t start some kind of trend. I do not want to see my designs decorating someone’s lawn!" Kouga growled exasperatingly and shuddered at the mere thought.
Sesshoumaru smirked and continued flipping pages. He hadn’t told Kouga the real reason for this press conference. He hadn’t told him that five years ago he slept with Kara and Yukiyuri was result of that one night.
"Tsk! Nenna-chan’s Dirty Secrets isn’t here."
"Kouga since you are getting married soon shouldn’t you stop reading such...indecent magazine?"
"Keh! What Ayame doesn’t know won’t hurt her."
"Hmpf, what Ayame doesn’t know won’t hurt her, kah? I wonder if Ayame feels the same..."
"Of course! I mean," Kouga coughed, "I’m just looking, not touching...well, much." He winked, grinning.
Sesshoumaru shook his head and closed the magazine. He stood up and straightened out his clothes. "Do whatever you see fit, Kouga. But don’t be surprised if Ayame tries to kill you in your sleep."
"Tsk, she would that, wouldn’t she?"
"I believe so, Kouga. I believe so." Sesshoumaru said with a final smirk then walked into the conference room.
Since everybody seemed to have already arrived, Sesshoumaru didn’t see any point in prolonging the inevitable.
Almost instantly the reporters noticed him, his presence sending a prickling feeling down their spines. The reporters quickly got the cameras out and began snapping pictures while yelling for him to look their way. Like always, Sesshoumaru was dressed sharply. Today he wore granite-grey slacks that were a bit baggy at the end with a matching tight west and an unbuttoned white shirt.
If anybody looked closely they would have noticed a sliver chain hanging around his neck.
Sesshoumaru had pulled his long hair into a low ponytail and it swung with each step he took as he walked down the runway stage over to a pedestal. "Good afternoon." He greeted the press in a smooth voice.
The reporters quieted down to low mumbles and forced themselves sit down. They glanced around the room, at each others since they all could feel it. Taste it.
The anticipation in the air.
Whatever Sesshoumaru Taishou had called them there for was going to be good.
Sesshoumaru took a moment and scanned the room. All eyes were on him. Some reporters sat with their pen on a notepad ready to write down his words while others had their tape recorders out and were recording. There were camera crews presented and they were broadcasting the event live across Tokyo and other major cities.
"I want to thank you all for gathering here at such short notice. I knew many of you are in a hurry and hungry-"
Almost on cue someone’s stomach growled. The reporters snickered and searched the room for the guilty person. Sesshoumaru smirked and carried on saying. "Lately a lot of rumors have been circling around and I’m here to confirm some of them," He paused and felt how he drew everyone’s attention in, "It’s true that we have met Miss Kikyou Higurashi and we are considering signing her to our house-"
"-Isn’t Miss Higurashi still in rehab?" A reporter suddenly asked and another followed up by asking. "Aren’t you afraid of the negative publicity Miss Higurashi’s present will have? Given she is a known drug addict."
"Do you have plans to use her for your next collection?"
"What treatment did Miss Higurashi get during her rehabilitation?"
"Isn’t she a member in the Akakumo’s house?"
The questions kept coming, bombarding Sesshoumaru. When the reporters noticed the buzz in the room grew louder, they realized Sesshoumaru would have a problem hearing and answering their questions so they quickly got out of their seats and started to move towards the stage when security stepped in and pushed them back. Kouga watched the entire commotion from backstage on television and was amazed by the way the reporters swarmed towards Sesshoumaru while snapping fanatically pictures of him. "Hn, here it is comes."
"Here comes what, Kouga-sama?" An assistant asked.
Kouga glanced at the young boy and grinned. "Watch and learn."
The buzz kept growing louder and louder in the conference room until totally chaos reigned there. For an outsider it seemed Sesshoumaru had lost control over the situation when he stared down at the reporters and they froze up. He bore his golden eyes into those that stood on the front line. "To answer your questions then yes, Miss Higurashi has been through a tough patch in her life but has regained control again and wishes to inspire those in the same situation and help them become clean. Since Kikyou Higurashi was a model for Akakumo, our lawyers are looking closely at the paperwork but if everything goes well then by next week Sayuri.deSign will gain a member, Kikyou Higurashi and she will be our spokesperson for our winter collection."
The room broke out in applauses. When the applauses quieted down, the questions started up again. This time about Akakumo. What did the rival’s house say about this? Why was signing Kikyou Higurashi to their house? What was the theme for the winter collection? Was it finished? When would they have the sneak preview?
But Sesshoumaru didn’t care to answer.
He had reached the sole purpose for the press conference and felt a nervous flutter in his chest. He felt suddenly dry in the throat and cleared it. Nervous energy built up and for the first time Sesshoumaru felt sometihng that resembled fear--
‘Why am I hesitating? This Sesshoumaru does not feel fear.’ He thought to himself and nearly gave himself a nod.
Sesshoumaru straightened his posture and lifted his hand. Instantly the excited crowd fell into silence, eager to hear what more Sesshoumaru had to say.
"Sugoi power, Sesshoumaru-sama has over the reporters."
"Hai...I know." Kouga answered the assistant absentmindedly with a furrow. He glanced away from the television and stared in Sesshoumaru’s direction. Kouga was confused. He thought Sesshoumaru was done. What more did he have to say?
"And lastly," Sesshoumaru paused and wet his lips. His heart began to pick up its pace, the pounding getting louder in his ears, "Concerns Takara Evans Nakano."
Sesshoumaru watched as the reporters’ eyes widened. They glanced at each other and mumbled quickly amongst themselves. This had to do with the cover from two days ago they decided and returned their full attention to Sesshoumaru.
"Two days ago a picture of Miss Nakano with a girl began spreading and I’m here to tell you,"
Sesshoumaru’s heart was racing like crazy. He felt hot. Dry in his mouth. Short of breath.
"Her name is Yukiyuri and she is Takara’s and my daughter."
Thud
Thud, Thud
Thud, Sesshoumaru could hear his heart pound clearly in his head as he waited.
It took a second or two for the news to register and get processed in the public and reporters’ brains.
Bankotsu, who was watching the press conference from his sport’s bar downtown, spat out his drink and choked. Jakotsu, who was busy pinning needles into his client pinned wrongly and pricked the girl’s skin. He didn’t even hear her scream, or notice her start cursing his ass since his bulging eyes were glued to the television. Touga and Inuyasha, who were in a meeting when they heard about the press conference and sat now with matching red and grim faces.
"This is our daughter’s first time in Japan and we wish for it be as joyful as possible. Therefore we ask of you to respect our privacy and leave us alone. Thank you. That’s all."
With that, Sesshoumaru walked off the stage.
It took another second, or two, for the reporters to fully grasp what had just been said and notice what was happening before chaos broke out in the room again. They began pushing and shoving as they tried to go after Sesshoumaru but security quickly stepped in and held them off.
Sesshoumaru was grateful for their action and made a mental note to give them an extra Christmas bonus. He stepped backstage and the room was eerie silent. Everyone was staring at him like he was a complete stranger but the one who looked most shocked was Kouga. He tried to speak but couldn’t form words.
Sesshoumaru looked away from him and walked out of the room. Now that the news was out in open, all Sesshoumaru could do was bear with it.

"Why didn’t you tell me?" Was the first question Kouga demanded when he barged into the Sesshoumaru’s office.
Sesshoumaru looked up and watched Kouga slam the door behind him. His face had gained the colour it lost when he heard the news. His fists were clenched and his body was tensed as he began pacing back and forth.
Sesshoumaru placed the phone back down and sat up in his chair. He wanted to call Kara and hear how she and Yuki were doing. Had they watched the press conference? How did Yuki react?
"Hello Kouga."
"Hell no, Sessho, you aren’t getting out of this with a simple hello. When the hell did this happen?! I mean, I knew someone had to be Yuki’s dad but I never guessed it was you since I always assumed it was that Inu-koro! And now you tell me. No, I take that back. Now you tell the world that you’re the father without telling me?! ME, man? Fuck! I thought we were best friends, you know like brothers. That we could talk about anything and everything. I mean, have I done something that you wouldn’t even bother mentioning something this major?" Kouga asked then continued ranting before Sesshoumaru could answer.
"I’m not angry or anything, just surprised! And well, fucking disappointed! I mean shit! You slept Kara...You slept with Kara?! Fuck! Did Inu-koro know? I mean, were you guys doing it behind his back?"
"No."
"No? Then how did it happen? I mean I don’t get it..." Kouga trailed off, confused and slumped heavily in one of the office’s couches.
Sesshoumaru got up from his chair and walked over to his mini-bar. He poured up two glasses, not giving a damn that it was middle of the day and walked over to Kouga, handing him one of the drinks and then sat down in the couch opposite him. He looked up about to speak when Kouga gulped the whole drink in one sweep. Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow and Kouga simply shrugged his shoulders.
Sesshoumaru took a sip then began talking. "It happened five years ago. Right before she left. I suspect Kara found out Inuyasha was cheating-"
"-Inu-koro was cheating? With who?!"
"Kagome." Sesshoumaru answered him and watched Kouga’s eyes widen in disbelief.
"No...No way, man! She would never..." Kouga stuttered and ran a hand over his face, "No Sesshoumaru, Kagome would never do something like that! Not to Kara. Not to anyone!"
"I’m afraid she did, Kouga. Didn’t you find it surprisingly how quickly she and Inuyasha began dating shortly after Kara left?"
"Nah, nah. I don’t believe you."
Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes at him and took a long sip of his drink. "I see the girl still holds a special place in your heart."
Kouga’s eyes darkened suddenly. His jaw twitched. Everyone knew, before Kouga found out about his arranged marriage to Ayame, Kagome was the girl he loved. He would proclaim often and loudly that she was his woman but when Kouga was left with no choice, he had to let Kagome go and end in the Inuyasha got the girl.
One of the main reasons Kouga disliked Inuyasha.
"My feelings for Kagome has nothing to do with this and don’t try to change the subject, Sesshoumaru! You still slept with Kara and got a kid. I mean isn’t she like your adopted sister, or something?!" He spat cruelly.
A tensed moment filled the room as Kouga shoot Sesshoumaru a vicious glare and Sesshoumaru glared equally viciously back. "Kara was never legally adopted to the family. Father took her in when her parents passed away and then she returned to the States-"
"-But before that happened, she grew up with you in that house! So don’t try to justify it, Sesshoumaru! You slept with Kara. Dumped her! And got her pregnant-"
"-I didn’t dump her, Kouga. Kara left me." Sesshoumaru cut him off, barely restraining the anger in his voice, "She showed up one night and we had sex. The next thing I know, she’s gone, out of the country and later she returns after five years and tells me I’m a father! While you Kouga, have known about Yuki all along! Now why didn’t you tell me about her, huh? Didn’t think that was worth mentioning?!"
Kouga stiffened and stared wide-eyed at Sesshoumaru. He had never heard him yell before. He tried to come up with something say but couldn’t. He clammed his mouth shut and gritted his teeth before looking grumpily away. "Kara made me swear not to tell anyone," He spoke lowly after a moment. Like a child that just got scold by his parent, "I didn’t get then but now I do," Kouga returned his blue eyes to Sesshoumaru, "...she didn’t want you to know."
The best friends stared at each other as the room elapsed into another moment of silence until Sesshoumaru broke it. "I went to her apartment three days later when I realised she was avoiding me. When I got there a hung-over, or rather still drunk Inuyasha opened the door and yelled Kara had left. Taken her things and left."
"Oh," Kouga said lowly and gave Sesshoumaru a cautious look, "Eh, uhm...how are you dealing? You know, with everything? Now that you know..."
"...surprisingly well."
"Yea?"
"Yea..."
Kouga grinned and looked to the side. "You're lucky, Sesshoumaru. Your baby girl is beautiful," He smiled, "I remembered when I first saw her. She was tiny with light brown skin and little sliver curls on top of her head," Kouga smiled at the memory, "That was when Kara told me Yuki would grow up without a father and I decided right there and than that I would step in and be there for her as much as I could. I mean just look her, Sesshoumaru. I would give Yuki my left kidney if I had to!"
Sesshoumaru raised his eyebrow at Kouga’s words and smirked when he saw hints of a blush on his cheeks. "What I mean to say Sesshoumaru, is that you’re lucky and got a beautiful daughter. Despite what the media and everyone else will say."
"...So you are cool with this?"
"Yea...I'm cool. I'm sorry, I overreacted. You were right. I should have told you about Kara having a kid but you should have told me about sleeping with Kara," Kouga paused when he thought of something and laughed, "Does Inu-koro know?"
Sesshoumaru smirked, pure glee dancing in his eyes. "Yes and he isn’t happy about it."
"I bet!" Kouga laughed, "That ahou! What the hell was he thinking? Cheating on Kara? He was lucky she even got together with him in the first place!"
"Who knows?"
Kouga growled, wishing Inuyasha was in the room so he could bash his head. "So what happens now?"
"We leave the media alone and let them have their field day."
"Okay," Kouga paused then checked his watch, "We should get going...hey, do you have any plans after the meeting?"
"No. Why?"
"Great! Then you can come over and spend some time with Yuki. What do you say?"
Sesshoumaru stared Kouga and blinked when he smiled this really wide and bright smile. Sesshoumaru looked away when he felt the corners of his mouth twitch. "Alright."
"Great, now that’s settled," Kouga sighed and got off the couch, lifting his arms above his head and laughed. "But damn, Sesshoumaru. I wished I could’ve seen the look on Ino-koro’s face when he found out you were Yuki’s dad!"

Elsewhere, few streets away and some floor levels high, a woman couldn’t believe what she just heard. "Oi! Did you hear that? Sesshoumaru is a father and that Kikyou-oban is signing to his house?"
"Very interesting, wouldn’t you say?"
"Hn, I can’t believe it. No. I take that back. I’m not surprised! That Kikyou," She cursed, "Are you okay with this?" The woman asked and turned her head away from the wide-screen television
Her eyes fell on a man sitting in his chair behind his desk. He lifted his head and glanced her way before returning his gaze to the world outside his vast window and smirked. "It doesn’t matter. If he plans to take something of mine then I will take something of his."
