Chapter Twenty Seven
I wanted to thank Ookami Princess once more for the ideas she leaves for me. XD Sometimes, I over look stuff. XD
Kay woke long after Steve had gone to work, and she heard a knock on the door. She quietly rolled out of bed, realizing it was mid day and made her way to the door. She looked through the peep hole and saw Nat and Hoshi. She opened it up, and Hoshi scowled, "you never were a morning person."
Kayura yawned, "Steve's not here."
"We're here for you," said Nat as they pushed their way in.
"Oh joy," Kay said with another yawn as she sat down on the couch.
Hoshi said, "there's a big problem, Kay."
"Hm," she said rubbing her eyes.
"Stark investors are in a tizzy," she said, "and they want to meet you."
"Excuse me?"
"Tony tried to tell them you weren't interested in Stark Industries," Nat began, "but they want to interview you and sign an affidavit."
"Lovely, is that it? Seems straight forward..."
"And Pepper wants a public conference."
Kay starred at the women, "she's doing this to spite you isn't she?"
Hoshi nodded.
Nat said, "I mean it shouldn't be too hard, you're a perfect natural at all of this spy stuff. Too bad I couldn't recruit you..."
Hoshi interrupted, "anyways...there's more."
"Oh bother," Kay said as Nat started a pot of coffee.
"Kento is missing."
Kayura raised a brow, "the buffoon doesn't know the meaning of going off grid."
Hoshi shrugged, "he's doing something stupid, I just know it. He has lots of contacts in Yakuza and Triad, and I don't want him going down that route. His undercover days were over years ago."
"I don't think you have the right to tell him what to do anymore, though," Nat said to the young queen. "I mean, I understand you care for him, but didn't you give up your opinion on his actions when you slept with Stark."
Kay looked down as Hoshi smiled darkly at the woman, "but I am still his Queen and if his actions endanger us then there is going to be a problem."
"Sounds to me like you can't let go," Nat said.
Kayura interrupted, "can we not go into these sort of politics. They both messed up, albeit one more than other but that's not our concern right now. What our concern should be is where did he go and why?"
Nat nodded.
Hoshi looked at her with a smirk, "you were always a cool cucumber."
Kay looked at them, "so what do I need to do to be impressive for this interview."
"Glad you asked," Hoshi grinned and Kay even saw Natasha smirk a bit. "It's time to go shopping, you need to look like a Stark."
Kay sighed and went to go get dressed, knowing they would be dragging her around downtown to put her in the latest fashions. Not that she didn't mind it, she just hoped it wasn't anything to skanky. Considering everything, it wasn't the worst of days but it could easily turn bad. Kay pinned her bangs up as the two women quickly rushed her out.
They spent a few hours quickly running from boutique to boutique. Hoshi was focused on shoes, Nat on clothes. After the perfect outfit was picked out, Kay had no idea what they picked out, they went to a salon to get her hair trimmed before heading back to the apartment. Kay protested coloring it, but the cut was nice and even all over with the the bangs being trimmed to slowly fade into the sides of her hair instead of a straight cut. Kay looked at them when they pulled out a cute little white sundress with red flowers. She paused before asking, "why?"
"It makes you look demure and sexy at the same time," Kay said with a wink. "But..."
"But what," asked Kay.
Hoshi reached into the bag and pulled out a bra, "you need to ware this."
Kay sighed, "you know I hate them."
"I bet Steve doesn't mind that," Nat mumbled only to get a stoic glare from Kay.
"Fine, what else," she asked as Hoshi grinned pulling out matching underwear and nude stockings. "And the shoes?"
Nat opened a box and saw a pair of red stilettos, they looked fairly normal until she saw the tips of the shoes had smiley panda faces on them, "they're adorable?"
"Great," Kay said as she went to change. She came out moments later and Nat whistled playfully. She looked in the mirror and stood like Nat had shown her the day before. She really didn't recognize herself as the two women pulled her way to put on some make up for her. They nuded out her lips and put on eyelash extensions and she hated that it covered what she considered her best features. She wasn't trying to be her, she was was trying to be Miss Kayura Tanaka-Stark
There was a knock on the door and Nat opened it for Tony. He walked in and almost stopped at the sight of the woman. She didn't look anything like the woman whom he had once known as body guard not to mess with. Her hair was trimmed nicely and her makeup made her look like her eyes were smiling without her actually smiling. She looked so demure...He asked, "are you sure you're Kay?"
She smiled and tilted her head with a giggle, "don't you recognize me big brother?"
Nat almost squeeled as Hoshi shook her head, "you did that too well."
Kay just smirked at Nat, "she's a good teacher."
Nat sighed, "well off you guys go."
"Aren't you coming," asked Hoshi.
"I have things to do, places to go, people to see," she answered.
Tony replied, "I bet you Fury is setting up perimeter around Stark Tower or Steve is just being over protective."
"I can take care of myself," she complained.
Nat shook her head, "nope, according the press you're just a model. That means no matter what, as long as there are cameras, you act like a damsel.."
"Well hell," she said.
Hoshi shrugged, "like I said, ridiculous."
Tony draped an arm around her shoulders, "well let's go or we're going to be late."
Kay pretended to hug him and Hoshi saw him grimace and asked, "is her nails in between rib three and four."
He nodded painfully making Nat laugh, "I am proud to know that she can keep him in control with just a manicured nail."
Kayura smiled and let him go, "well big brother, shall we go?"
Hoshi followed after them and said to Tony, "what a sweet little sister you have, Tony."
He just grumbled, "maybe this was a bad idea."
"No going back night," she cooed in a far too spunky voice.
