Chapter Twenty Eight

Again, thank you Ookami Princess. XD

Kay felt the muscles in her face hurting from all the unnatural smiling as she sat down between Hoshi and Tony. There had been press all around the building and a million flashes left her seeing spots. Pepper starred at her with eyes like a demon but she didn't mind, Kay knew it was really Hoshi she was mad over but Pepper did have control of Hashiba Industries at the moment, so it made perfect sense she would be there. Pepper wasn't going to make it easy for them though, Kay guessed.

Across from them sat several investors, a variety of men young and old and of different ethnicity but it was the man who was front and centered who unnerved her. He was an older man, who had once been a strong young man, from his broad shoulders. He his hair precisely parted and groomed with a matching silver mustache. He wore a fine black suit with a maroon colored tie. He looked at her and looked at the folder in front of them, "Miss Tanaka, is it."

She remembered to accent her words, "yes, sir."

"I am John Soresby, I am one of this companies original investors," he said with a smile. "Please, tell us, why you have come forward. Howard left no note of your mother. Most of his mistakes made sure to sign paperwork that they would not do what you are doing without consequence."

Kayura remembered every detail as if it were real, "honestly, I was content being a normal girl in Chiba Mr. Soresby. Okaa-san didn't tell me anything about my Dad until she passed a few years back. I was born in 1991, sir. I believe my Dad passed just after he met my Mom."

Soresby grumbled something Howard being a womanizer even in his old age and said to her, "then you understand that Stark Industries is mult billion dollar conglomerate that has lots women trying to commit this very same fraud?"

Pepper slid an sealed envelope to the man, "this is a DNA test from an independent lab confirming she is Tony's little sister."

The man opened it up, frowned as he read the results, and then handed it to his associates. He then asked, "and what are you attentions? Miss Tanaka?"

Kay pretended gulp nervously, "honestly sir, none. I have a really close friend who was ill, and I was just starting my modeling career. Oni-san gave me his number in case of emergency and I just had to ask because neither of us could afford the surgery."

"And how exactly did your 'Oni-san' find you?"

Kay looked at Tony who said, "I found Dad's last plain ticket to Japan and it wasn't to Tokyo to see Mr. Hashiba, so I followed his steps and found Setsuna who had a little girl who had a daughter who would have been the right age. I always wanted a sibling."

Kay smiled at him and laid a hand on his, "Oni-san is the best."

"Alrighty then, Tony why didn't you tell us about this?"

"Because she doesn't want anything," he said with a growl. "I volunteered to be a big brother."

The man scowled, "does that mean you will sign an affidavit, Miss Tanaka, stating that you will not under any circumstances interfere or try to take over Stark Industries."

She nodded, "of course, sir. Unfortunately, unlike my Dad and brother, I am not so gifted intellectually."

The man slid a paper across the table with a pin, and she signed it and handed it back, "I just want to be a great little sister, Mr. Soresby."

He mumbled something about it not affecting her career and Hoshi asked, "is that it?"

"We have to talk later on, Miss Nakano, but yes," he said as him and the investors gathered up their paper work and left. Pepper just scowled at Tony before leaving herself.

Tony kicked back in the chair, "take that Dad!"

Hoshi shook her head, "that was really good. I almost didn't believe you were Kay for a few moments."

She batted her eyes, "ne?"

"Oh god, don't do that," Hoshi complained.

Kay sighed, "I'm sorry but your father sounds like a complete asshole."

Hoshi snorted, "like father, like son."

"Hey, I've amends on some things," he said to her. "And honestly, you don't complain."

Hoshi rolled her eyes, "now, can you keep that pretty smile going? I'm afraid your face is going to break."

Kay giggled, "Oni-san, can we go to your conference now?"

Hoshi said, "I'll stay here. I don't like Paparazzi."

Tony stood up and Kay took his arm, "shall we Imoto-san?"

"Hai," she giggled and she saw Hoshi rolled her eyes.

Kay walked with Tony to the elevator and F.R.I.D.A.Y come on the intercom, "Mr. Stark, everything is all prepared for you and Miss Tanaka."

She didn't like the ghost machine, but she was glad it was functioning. It would serve as a security. She asked, "you think they'll ask about Steve?"

"They don't know, right?"

"No."

"You should tell them right now who he is to you," he smiled and lifted her hand with the ring that she didn't take off.

She nodded and hoped Steve was nearby, she felt like she was going to be extremely overwhelmed. It wasn't that she couldn't hand it, but it was going to leave her exhausted. She smiled brightly as they stepped out of the Stark Tower, lights flashing, and a podium set up. It wasn't unlike Stark to do things without Style. He smiled as he approached the microphone, and Kayura could see how much magnetism the man could exude. He patted her hand lightly, "hello, everyone. I'm sure you've heard the news already right?"

There was a million people asking a million questions at once, Kay smiling at them. Her face was really hurting, but she had been through worse sorts of pain. She was going to literally 'grin' and bear it. Tony grinned ear to ear, and patted his 'sisters' back, "I want you to meet the only kid who escaped my Dad's lawyers, Kayura Tanaka-Stark."

She waved and said, "Konichiwa Minna-san, watashi was Kayura-san."

The cameras started flashing almost instantly along with a million questions behind them. Tony shushed them by holding up his hands, and he said, "well...you guys wanted some news. My little sister has actually been here quite a while, and some of you might even recognize her. She has some great news."

She decided to speak in English, "hello, everyone, again...Oni-san has been so nice, and his friends are all really great..."

"The Avengers," some loudly shouted.

She giggled, "yes, the Avengers. I have been seeing someone special since I've been the USA. He's really a wonderful man, Captain Rogers and I are getting married."

Everything blew up again and Tony noticed her smile twitch, he held up a hand to shush them again and taking Kay's hand to show off the ring, "now, if we're really sorry but we have a wedding to go put together."

Kay let Tony pull her off the make shift stage to a limosine waiting nearby, he pushed her first and she saw Happy in the driver's seat but smiled as she saw Steve but next to him was Maria. Tony climbed and slammed the door as the flashing started up again. The windows tinted an the car started to move, Happy saying, "it's good to see you Miss Kay."

"Looking for whooping, Happy," she smiled. "It'll always be a pleasure."

Steve looked her over but Maria rolled her eyes, "can you get your eyes off her legs and back onto task."

Steve cleared his throat as Kayura pulled down the dress, her cheeks turned red and she scowled at him. It wasn't her sort of clothing he noticed the moment she had gotten in the car. She almost didn't even look like the Kay he knew but her legs were still just as beautiful. He said to Tony, "I see you are getting wanted revenge against your Dad."

"Yeah, scandal," Tony grinned and then pointed to the ring. "But that's sensationalism."

Kay rolled her eyes, "where are we heading?"

"Rykers of course, you should use that fame while its at its highest," Maria said as she noticed Steve looking at Kay's legs again. She kicked him, "eyes up front soldier."

Tony complained, "let the man live a little, back in the forties, girls would have been at the cross for showing their ankles."

"Really," Kay asked naively.

Maria and Steve both knew that he was exaggerating, and Steve said to her, "he's exaggerating."

"Oh, okay, good," she nodded and then socked Tony in the shoulder.

"Ow, you're still violent, I thought we agreed on you being a damsel," he complained.

Kay smiled like she normally would, "no, you said as long as there were cameras. There are no cameras around."

Steve smirked, "you sort of deserved that."

Maria smiled at Kayura, "I hope you and your legs are enough to bribe the guards to see fisk."

Kayura grinned ear to ear and then sat more demurely and she said, "I have to say, I wonder how many boys Nat seduced with this technique?"

Both Steve and Tony looked away awkwardly.
