A/N: been waaay too long but a lot happened. my former computer died so the draft i had written for this chapter was lost so i had to start from scratch and to be honest - i'm not sure how i feel about this chapter...but the story can't stay on-hold forever so here you go!
Excuse Errors & Enjoy!
Kara sat by the kitchen table. She pulled a knee up to her chest and leaned over it as she stared out the window. The news called it, a freezing fog. It had rolled over the city during the night and made it difficult to see far ahead. The news warned people to stay at home. However, at the moment Kara was alone with Yuki. Jaken had time off and was with his family as Christmas drew nearer. Sesshoumaru had left earlier in the morning and gone to the office, saying he needed to finish few things before the holidays. So he left...although Kara asked him to stay.
Even though last night had ended with passion and Kara telling Sesshoumaru that she loved him, she still sensed a distance between them. Everything within her told her - no - screamed at her that she needed to close the gap before it widened anymore but like the coward that she was Kara stepped back and allowed Sesshoumaru some space, convincing herself that was what he needed.
"Kami-sama, what a mess of things." Yesterday the world had flipped upside-down and now Kara stood in the ruins of it all. For the life of it she couldn't believe Sesshoumaru wasn't Yuki's father. It didn't make any sense. She was so sure! "It just can't be." Kara sighed into the palm of her hand. Maybe Inuyasha was right…after all. Maybe she had wanted Sesshoumaru to be Yuki's father so badly that in the end she convinced herself when in reality Yuki was…
Kara sniffed and quickly dried her eyes. She quickly rose from the table and left the kitchen with sudden need to hold Yuki. She headed towards the living room where Yuki was. The teve was on and showed an anime. Kara approached the sofa and looked down as she rounded it. Yuki was asleep. Kara shook her head with a smile. She reached for a blanket that was stretched out on the sofa's arm and covered Yuki. She crouched down and then reached out to stroke Yuki's hair while she watched her sleep
Here she was feeling sorry for herself but what would happen to Yuki when she finally learned the truth?
"I'm so sorry, Yukiyuri. I..." Kara dropped her head and felt tears burn in her eyes. With a heavy sigh Kara moved away and got up. As she stood to her full length she felt something cold blow in. Kara turned around and saw the slide door had opened again. Sesshoumaru had mentioned that the door was broken and for some reason would slide open by itself. Jaken was suppose to get it fixed. Sesshoumaru didn't want Yuki running into the garden without anyone noticing but from the look of things Jaken hadn't gotten around to it yet.
Kara moved towards the slide door when the doorbell rang. She nearly jumped out of her skin and wiped her head around. Who could that be? She wasn't expecting anyone.
Kara glanced at Yuki and saw that she was still asleep. She hesitated for a second when the person at the door rang the bell again. Kara started towards the door.
She hurried her steps when the doorbell rang a third time. "Hai, hai, I hear you. I'm coming!" Kara sucked her teeth in annoyance.
She reached the front door, undid the locks and then opened the door...
