A week has passed since the interview and InuYasha finally gets a chance to listen to the tapes before he starts writing in his magazine. He gets up bright and early to head over to his personal studio and play the tape. Leaving a kiss on his fiancée's forehead; he gets dress in a suit and leaves her a small breakfast.

~*~

He cursed himself when he found that the tapes hadn't fully recorded over his personal conversation with Kagome. In fact, they barely recorded over anything at all. So he thought to do the interview over again and to discard the defective tapes immediately. But he couldn't really part with the sound of Kagome's voice so he hid the tapes in his office desk. “In case I forget to ask anything there… that's here”, he lied to himself. This time the interview was scheduled to take place at a country club and his fiancée would be able to attend.

~*~

It was a beautiful Tuesday morning when Kagome and Kouga met up at the country club with InuYasha and Kikyo. The moment Kagome and Kouga showed up, they really stuck out like sore thumbs wearing normal street clothing. Kouga wearing a grey jacket over an orange t-shirt with grey basketball shorts and white sneakers, had his hair slick back as usual- in a high ponytail, with his arm around Kagome's waist. Kagome wore a small denim jacket, with a burgundy tank top, and a matching denim miniskirt, ending right above her knees, and flats. Her redden hair was left out and hung around her mid-lower back, hiding Kouga's arm for a moment. Kikyo disapproved but InuYasha liked the way Kagome looked. Kikyo and InuYasha wore matching white tennis suits. Kikyo having a short jumper dress with pink straps, ending an inch or two underneath her butt, and matching pink socks with her white sneakers. Her chocolate layered hair was placed into a tight bun to keep it off her creamy skin tone. InuYasha wore a white t-shirt with white shorts and white sneakers and socks that made his silver mane brushed into a ponytail stand out against his cute furry ears. Anyway the two couples stood outside a geisha after witnessing InuYasha and Kikyo playing tennis.

“So… Deborah, InuYasha told me that you two had once had an affair while in high school. I hope there's no hard feelings for me stealing him away from you soon after you two ended”, Kikyo bluntly said. “Of course not… being an artist, experiencing new things in my life is good for my career”, Kagome replied in a mocking blunt voice. Kouga and InuYasha snickered at the opinion while Kikyo felt hardly amused. “Well… I would think since your single is not the usual number one hit, that you were just hiding away your true talents or are you just afraid of competition”, Kikyo shot back placing a hand on her hip. “What competition is that?”, Kouga said watching a vein become visible in Kagome's temple. “Oh haven't you heard? InuYasha, darling, I would've thought you have told them”, Kikyo said hitting InuYasha's arm. “Well, I didn't get around to it and I didn't feel it was something needed in our interview”, he replied with a nervous chuckle. “Well why are you hiding something like this?”, Kikyo asked ignoring his gesture. “Yeah what are you exactly hiding?”, Kagome shot back with an attitude.

“Kikyo is thinking about pursuing a music career after this entire model thing has been accomplished”, he admitted seeing he was cornered. “Wow they just let anyone in the music business these days”, Kagome muttered loud enough for Kikyo to hear. “The same can be said for a one hit wonder like yourself”, Kikyo shot back now being held back from scratching out Kagome's face. “I PUT OUT MORE HITS THAN ONE MISSY… IF YOU HADN'T NOTICE, DEBORAH IS MY STAGE NAME, I PLACED OUT MANY HITS AS KAGOME AND DEBORAH IS JUST A TEMPORARY PHASE!” Kagome shouted. “Oh you're that young slut that went out of the public eye for over a year?”, Kikyo teased.

Kouga was now holding Kagome back before she could do any damage to the young model. Kikyo laughs as Kagome was picked up in the air kicking and screaming in an attempt to kick her. “I'm gonna rip that fucking face of yours off!”, Kagome thought as she was finally place down. “Well at least I have a good voice to sing with. NOT SOME HIGH SNOOTY VOCALS THAT COULD PROBABLY WAKE THE DEAD!”, Kagome shouted as she watches Kikyo go from laughing to growling. “Okay, let's have a performance contest. The winner has bragging rights and could gloat as much as she wants. The loser has to give up this singing career”, Kouga proposed. Kagome looked at her boyfriend in shock and watch as InuYasha agreed to do such. “There is a stage near here and we can let the public judge”, InuYasha said pulling Kikyo and Kagome outside the club with Kouga right behind. Once outside, a crowd gathered to see the two famous people go at it. Kagome went first.

 

(Kagome came out on stage and started singing without a mic)

Last night I cried…,

Tossed and turned…,

Woke up with dry eyes….

My mind was racing…,

Feet were pacing…,

Lord help me please,

Tell me what I have gotten into.

(Kagome puts the mic to her mouth and continues but whispers)

Ran my 3 miles…,

To clear my mind…,

It always helps me out….

It's my therapy…,

When I'm losing it …,

Which is usually….

 

(Kagome starts swinging her hips to the crowds swaying)
I'm on an emotional…rollercoaster…,

Loving you…ain't nothing healthy…,

Loving you…was never good for me…,

But I can't get off….

Emotional…rollercoaster…,

Loving you…ain't nothing healthy…,

Loving you…was never good for me…,

But I can't get off….

Yesterday…,

I told myself…

I was gonna be okay….

Gonna start a new day…,

Be truly happy…,

I was gonna take control of me….

(Kagome stops swinging her hips and makes eye contact with Kouga and starts to project her voice)

But eventually,

Reality hit me…,

Mentally,

Physically,

Emotionally…,

And I opened my eyes…,

And realized…,

That I was still being taken

For a constant ride on you're........

(Kagome stops looking at Kouga and begins dancing while looking at InuYasha)
I'm on an emotional…rollercoaster… (Oh…baby…),

Loving you…ain't nothing healthy…(It was never healthy for me…),

Loving you…was never good for me…(Oh but I can't get…),

But I can't get off….

Emotional…rollercoaster…(You got me going up and down oh…),

Loving you…ain't nothing healthy…,

Loving you…was never good for me…(Never good for me…),

But I can't get off….

(Kagome stops moving and looks up to the sky as the crowd begin to sway and throw their hands in the air)
So tired of you…making love to me…,

Then disappearing…so suddenly…,

Up and down it goes….

And I'm so tired of you…pacifying me…

With promises you know…that you'll never keep…,

Round and round it goes….

I am on a…

 

(Kagome looks away from the sky and begins dancing with the crowd again)

Emotional…rollercoaster…,

Loving you…ain't nothing healthy …(ain't nothing healthy bout it babe…ain't nothing healthy bout it babe…oooh…),

Loving you …was never good for me…,

But I can't get off….

Emotional…rollercoaster…,

Loving you…ain't nothing healthy…,

Loving you …was never good for me…,

But I can't get off….

(Kagome removes the mic from her lips again and stops dancing to bob her head with the crowd)
I'm on an emotional…rollercoaster…,

Loving you…ain't nothing healthy…,

Loving you …was never good for me…,

But I can't get off….

Emotional…rollercoaster…,

Loving you…ain't nothing healthy…,

“Damn, she still sounds as good as ever… even better”, InuYasha thought as he looked over to his over confident fiancée. “There you go baby, you show them who rules this game”, Kouga thought, expected nothing less from his girlfriend. “Okay your turn”, Kagome said handing the mic over to Kikyo. Kikyo grab the mic and got up on stage as the audience stop their cheering and quiet down.

 

(Kikyo places the mic to her mouth after dancing a bit on stage)

Couldn't have given you more.
I tried to love you

Like you loved me.
Maybe for wrong reasons...

Maybe.
At first it was beautiful.
Every girl has a fairytale.
But then you wake up and see
it's not all it's cracked up to be.

 

(Kikyo turns to one audience member and point to them)
It turned into

Screaming days and solo nights.
Just wasn't right (yeah...)
I didn't really wanna see you,
was happy when you were leaving yeah...
I liked how it felt

When I was by myself.
And that's the way I wanna be,
so please,

Don't beg and plead,
just let it be.
Just let it be...

(Kikyo starts to bob her head to the slow song as the audience member leave from being uncomfortable)
I gotta go.

I gotta leave.
So please don't make

It hard for me.
I've gave enough

I'm tired of love,
I gotta let it go...

I gotta go.

I gotta leave.
So please don't make

It hard for me.
I've gave enough

I'm tired of love,
I gotta let it go...

(Kikyo stops shaking her head and starts to swing her hips)
Couldn't have given you more,
gave you everything.
There wasn't

Anything that

You were denied (yeah).
But you should never give it all...
`cause sometimes

There's nothing left
but bitterness and regret,
and it just ain't worth it.

(Kikyo looks over to InuYasha, then Kouga, then Kagome)
`Cause then there's

The sudden change
Out of nowhere,

It seems.
Never know I could be so mean,
But that's just how far you pushed me (yeah).

You say it just isn't fair
and you didn't know.
You need to take responsibility

For your own,
`cause you're grown.
And you known (yeah)

I gotta go.

I gotta leave.
So please don't make

It hard for me.

(Hard for me now)
I've gave enough,

I'm tired of love,
I gotta let it go...

(Gotta let it go)

I gotta go. (Oo)

I gotta leave.
So please don't make

It hard for me.

(Don't make it hard for me)
I've gave enough

I'm tired of love,
I gotta let it go...

(Kikyo looks up to the sky and start shouting into the mic)
Now I take the blame
for trying to stay

And work it out.
Shoulda left

Before it got complicated,
Shoulda left

When there was still some happiness.

Yes I take the blame
for having faith

In the relationship.
I thought it made me complete,
but the truth is,
I'm complete without it.

Yeah-eah
(Gotta Let Go-ooo-ooo-oo)

(Kikyo looks back into the crowd and shouts as them)
I gotta go.

I gotta leave.
So please don't make

It hard for me.

(Please don't make it hard…)
I've gave enough,

I'm tired of love,

(Hard for me…no)
I gotta let it go... (Hey…)

I gotta go. (I'm so tired)

I gotta leave.
(I'm gotta go) So please don't make (eee)

It hard for me.
I've gave enough

I'm tired of love, (Tired of love)
I gotta let it go... (Tired of love…)

I gotta go.

I gotta leave.
So please don't make

It hard for me.
(I'm tired)I've gave enough

(I'm tired) I'm tired of love,
(I'm tired of love oh…) I gotta let it go...

 

(Kikyo stops singing and just speaks the last chorus)

I gotta go.

I gotta leave.
So please don't make

It hard for me.
I've gave enough

I'm tired of love,
I gotta let it go...

 

The audience stays quiet and a few people clap for Kikyo. InuYasha looks embarrassed at how much Kikyo smiled and teased Kagome. “A little hint, it's not always good to make the audience hate you”, Kagome said showing Kikyo the audience members that were turned away from her performance. Kikyo started blushing and turned away from Kagome. “Well, I guess you are a better singer but only because you have more experience and time to perfect your range”, Kikyo said turning back around and offering Kagome a hand. “Just sound like plain old defeat to me…yeah whatever you say, I just have more RANGE and EXPERIENCE”, Kagome said mocking Kikyo again. InuYasha pulled Kikyo away before she could try to hurt Kagome and told the couple he'll meet them back at the country club in an hour.

~*~

InuYasha returned with Kikyo and assured Kouga and Kagome that she would behave. After the repeat of the interview, the two couples decided to go out on a double date to a new club. So once they change clothes, the two couples met at the dance floor. Kagome wore a yellow tube top with a matching yellow mini that ended mid thigh, with matching stilettos and diamond studded jewelry for earrings and bracelets. She left her redden hair out with it being curly from wetting it. Kouga wore a dark red dress shirt with black slacks and black shoes. His hair was wet and hardened with gel. InuYasha wore a white dress shirt with the first two buttons undone, black slacks, and matching shoes with his golden streaked wavy hair held in place with gel. Kikyo wore a red tank top with a long black skirt that had a slit ending mid thigh, and black pointed stilettos. Her hair was left out with a black beret adored on it that made her mocha skin glowed golden. This night, the club was literally filled. There was hardly any space to dance let alone leave. The couples regardless went and party the night away. “Kags, please we gotta stop. If we dance anymore, I'll drop dead”, Kouga joked as he tried to pull his girlfriend away from the dance floor. “Aww come on, you can last another song…if you do I'll give you something nice”, Kagome teased pulling his hands on her shaking hips. “Damn you girl, you have to say that when I have no more strength”, he thought before pulling his hands away. “As tempting as that sounds… I have to sit.” “Okay I'm going to hang out here on my favorite floor for a while”, she said placing a kiss on his chin.

Not too far off from the couple, InuYasha and Kikyo were busy dancing as well. “InuYasha please…the song is almost over and my feet are killing me in these heels”, Kikyo begged her fiancé. InuYasha pulled her body close against his own as the song speeds up. Finally when the song was over, Kikyo turns around to kiss her boyfriend. “I'm going to go rest while you have a party here by yourself”, she says patting his now open chest shirt. He whimpers playfully before ignoring her and walking into the dance crowd. When doing that he bumped into Kagome's butt, she was still dancing feverishly and just push closer to his groin. She turned around and jumped a bit when she notice who had graze her backside. She finally stops dancing and took her hands out of the air. “Oh Yash, sorry… I didn't know it was…I thought you were someone else”, she trembled. He chuckles at her nervousness and begins to dance with her.

“I forgot how good you were a dancer”, he told her over the booming music. “And I forgot how good your body looked… it only improved over the years”, she thought as she places a hand over his chest. He quickly became aroused at the softness of her hands and the sensation she sent through him as her hands moved up and down his chest slowly as they danced. “Yeah and you've gotten better yourself”, she shot back pulling him close to her body as the song slowed down. “Today brought back old memories”, he whispered into his ear. “Oh my god… I forgot how good and warm his breath felt there”, she thought as she nods her head to his chatter.

“Yash…times like this I really miss us”, she replied. “Then let's go back to being friends again…to the good old days”, he said to try to take his mind away from how good she smelled. “Yeah friends”, she shot back pushing herself onto him not noticing he could smell her skin stronger. When he felt he couldn't take the senses no longer he grabbed her hand and caused her to look into his eyes. The two stared at each other, sapphire meeting gold, before leaning in to kiss when a stranger bumps InuYasha and instead he knocks his head into Kagome's nose. The two blushed as they realize what was about to happen. They back away from each other and watch as their dates come back to the dance floor. Kagome smiles and continues to dance like nothing happened, signaling InuYasha to do the same when she felt Kouga tap her shoulder. “I would like my girlfriend back again”, he said politely to InuYasha. InuYasha smiled and walk away to reach his own fiancée waiting for him to take her home.
