Chapter 5

"What do you mean one of my model is sick?!" Sara stomped her right foot, a sign that the feisty young woman is angry.

Her usual spunky friend flinched. " She caught the flu last night,"

Sara slammed a folder containing the details of her fashion show. "How come only now she calls? Is she stupid? Now where am I going to find the perfect model?! This is a disaster Jakotsu!" she barked.

"Calm down, I'm sure we'll work things out, you have other models lined up, I'm sure one of them is the perfect frame for the dress." Jakotsu placed a hand on Sara's shoulders with an intent to calm her down.

"No it will not do! Can't you call the model and ask her? Beg her, Jak!"

Jakotsu shook his head. "No can do, her manager said it's for the best she stay away, not only for her but also for your reputation, the girls been retching like crazy, from what I heard"

Sara sighed. "Now what am I going to do?"

"Sara!" a familiar voice called. Sara's face lit up upon hearing the familiar voice.

"Kagura! You guys made it!" she smiled looking at the threesome that entered the room.

"Is everything alright, dear?" Kaguya, their mother asked.

"Not quite, one of my model caught stomach flu and now I'm short one model,"

"Ask the other models to fill in?"

"No, I had a vision, Kagu, I wanted someone who have curves, someone whose not too tall…" Sara said slowly checking out her sister's frame. "You know what, Kagura, I think you will be perfect for my dress! You have the body! Look Jak! Won't Kagura look perfect in the dress?"

"W-what?" Kagura stammered.

Jakotsu held out a measuring tape against Kagura. "You're right, she even have the boobs for it! I think she's better than your original model," he nodded in approval.

Sara's eyes gleamed. "Kagura, you have to do it!"

"B-but… I don't model Sara!"

"You're my only hope my dear sister! You must do it for me!" Sara pleaded. Kagura looked over to her parents. "C'mon Kagura, help out your sister."

Kagura sighed. "Alright, where's the dress?"

Sara clapped her hands. "Thank you! Thank you! Jakotsu! Get her to make up and hair! I owe you one sister!"

While it's been almost some time since Sesshomaru arrived at the event, there was no sign of Kagura, he also tried calling her cellphone but she did not answer, finally a voice enhanced by the microphone dominated the whole ballroom indicating that the show was about to start. He sat right in front of the runway but his eyes scanned for a black-haired beauty.

"Sara, are you sure about this?" Kagura cried nervously. "I've never done modeling in my life, hell if I trip and ruin your-"

"Shh! Don't jinx it! You'll be fine!" Sara shushed then adjusting the lace on Kagura's dress. "You look beautiful, sister, don't worry! I know you'll do great!"

Kagura inhaled before resigning to her sister's pleads. " Alright, when do I go?"

"You're kind of the grand finale…"

"What?!"

"It's okay! You'll be okay, don't worry!" Sara then peeked out of the curtain and scanned for her parents it was kind of hard seeing that everyone was wearing white and the room is in a bright shade of purple and pink from the lights. Her eyes landed on a handsome man wearing a white immaculate suit with his matching long flowy white silver hair sitting right in front, Sara squealed with joy seeing that her boyfriend came to see her.

"Oh my gosh!" Sara screamed.

"What?!" Kagura looked at her sister.

"He's here!" she jumped.

"Who?"

"My boyfriend! The one I met in Paris-the one I was talking about! He's here!"

"Oh my gosh! Where?!" Kagura tried to look past Sara.

"He's sitting down in front," she trailed off after hearing the announcement. "Wait! It's your turn! Go! Go!" Sara gave Kagura a slight push to the stage. "You got it Kagura! You're beautiful! Don't be nervous! You'll blow everyone away! Just walk, and when you get at the end of the runway, just pose! Smile! Dazzle everyone!"

Kagura nodded but she was still nervous, Please don't let me trip!

It was almost the end of the show and there was still no sign of Kagura. Sesshomaru scowled at the models that were walking on the run way, he can't believe she stood him up! He handed the waiter his glass of empty champagne and was about to leave when everyone in the room suddenly roared with applause, he turned around to see a model wearing a white wedding dress adorned with pearls and lace, her hair was high in a bun and she smiled almost awkwardly to the crowd as she walked towards the end of the runway. Sesshomaru smiled as he looked up to the black haired beauty right in front of him and when she caught his eye she waved and gave him a butterfly kiss.

"Beautiful," he murmured as he applaud on her retreating form. The emcee announced the designer but Sesshomaru was focused on Kagura. That was his woman, his woman was the highlight of the whole event, and everyone in the room adored her! He then made his way to the back stage to congratulate the beautiful woman.

Sara stepped out of the curtains and waved to everyone, she scanned the room for Sesshomaru but he wasn't in his old spot.

"That was great Sara! We're proud of you!" Kaguya hugged her daughter.

"Thanks mom! I couldn't have done it without you guys support!"

"Sara! We need you! The reporters are here for you."

"Alright, I'll be right there. Listen mom, dad, I just have to face the media real quick, you know with the launching and stuff, I'll meet you guys at the reception!" and with that she was pulled off to a bunch of cameramen and reporters.

"Oh, Ryu, I'm so proud of our girls!" Kaguya sang to her husband.

He nodded in approval. "Did you see my girl Kagura?"

"I know. A beauty like her mother! And in Sara's work too!"

"Let's go meet her then yeah?" and with that he lead her wife to the backstage.

Kagura changed to her evening gown with the help of Jakotsu, he was so thrilled about the success of the show that he could not stop babbling and kissing Kagura. "Girl! You were great! You should think about modeling! Everybody loved you tonight! Everyone was asking for your name!"

Kagura shook her head. "Nah, that's only because I was wearing Sara's dress."

"I object though," a familiar male voice answered.

Kagura's face lit up seeing Sesshomaru leaning against the door frame. "You came!"

He nodded. "Although, I wish you told me you were the star of the night."

She smiled. " It was a last minute thing, my sister's model bailed out on her."

"Your sister is lucky to have such beautiful sister as you." he complimented, plucking a rose from the vase on the table then giving it to Kagura. She in turn blushed at his compliment and then seeing Jakotsu's teasing face behind Sesshomaru, the mouthed "he's a hottie" before leaving the room.

"Thank you, I'm sorry for making you sit there alone."

Before Sesshomaru could answer a woman's voice entered the room and walking towards Kagura. "Oh! My baby! You looked for beautiful!"

"Thank mom, it was Sara's dress."

"Nonsense! She was right though, you looked perfect for the dress."

Kagura flushed furiously at her mother's comment since Sesshomaru is still in the room.

"Mom, this is Sesshomaru, Sesshomaru, these are my parents." Kagura introduced. "Sesshomaru is a friend of mine, he was the one who helped me when I had the flat tire on the way to my seminar."

Kagura's parents looked at each other. They both knew about the man in front of them after Sara told them about his kindness towards their daughter and the flowers he sent Kagura.

"It's nice to meet you Sesshomaru," Kaguya shook his hands.

"The pleasure is mine." he nodded with a smile.

"Where is Sara?" Kagura scanned the room for her sister for she is yet to meet Sesshomaru.

"She had to do some interviews before she can join us,"

"She will join us afterwards though, let us all go to the reception, Kagura, Sesshomaru?"

Sesshomaru pulled out a chair for Kagura and while Ryukutsusei did the same for his wife.

"I'm glad you could come along with us," Kagura turned to Sesshomaru.

"You must be proud of your sister,"

Kagura nodded. "She's really talented!"

"So, Sesshomaru, what do you do?" Kagura's father asked.

"My father owns Taiyoukai Group inc. I work for my father as a contractor."

"Ah, Inutaisho Taiyoukai is your father? Small world, he was my room mate back in college… there was some good competetion between your father and I must say," Ryukutsusei remarked.

"Is that so?"

Kaguya smiled at her daughter noting the look on her face as she look at Sesshomaru talking to her father, after all it was refreshing to see Kagura being interested in a relationship. Up until then Kagura focused on her studies and this is the first time Kagura had brought a man to meet them.

"I need to go to the restroom," Kaguya announced sending her daughter a look.

"Oh, I'll come with you"

Both men nodded and continued on with their chit chats.

"He seems like a nice guy," Kaguya remarked.

"Yes." Kagura blushed.

"Quite a catch, darling."

"I just hope Sara approves."

"Well I approve darling," the older woman smiled. "And seeing as your father and him are getting acquainted,"

"He seems nice, but it's still early too early to tell. I like him for sure, but I'd like to get to know him some more."

Kaguya smiled. "That's my girl."

Sesshomaru had excused himself from the table when his phone rang for a business call, on his way back to the table he was greeted with a hugby a spunky girl with dark eyes and a skimpy dress. "Fancy seeing you here, darling!"

"Sara…" it was the girl he's had one date in Paris, whom he's yet to end things with because the girl seems to think that they were in a relationship.

"Well it's a nice surprise!" she smiled. "C'mon let's look for my sister…"

"Sara! There you are!" Kagura's voice called. "Oh! I see you two have met.."

Sara looked at Sesshomaru with a confused look on her face when Kagura took Sesshomaru's hand.

"Sara…this is Sesshomaru, the guy I met at the my seminar."
