Mike and Kagome alone for the first time.

Important: Ok in case your confused on their appearances, because they do change appearances a lot.

Mike has semi-spiky hair with only chin hair, no mustache and no hair dye.

Chester has a shaven head and is wearing spectacles.

Phoenix has short hair, mustache and chin fuzz.

Rob is also spiky haired with chin hair.

Joe has spiky hair and is not wearing his spectacles.

Brad has his short hair, mustache and chin fuzz.

Phew that's all done. On with the story.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha and I most definitely don't own Linkin Park or I'd be rich.

Chapter 3: The Interview (Part 2)

Note: Begins 3rd person.

Kagome and Mike hurried out of the room to head for the nearby vending machines. They stopped near a row of vending machines.

"Ok, I'll get the drinks and you get some snacks for everyone, you should know what they like."

"Ok sure…"

Mike walked down the row looking at what was on the racks and eventually bought some snacks for the group, sticking to labels he could recognize. Meanwhile, Kagome was buying the last of the drinks when she heard a familiar sound that could not have come at a worse time.

'SHIT! Kikyou's footsteps!' Hurriedly, she grabbed Mike by the back of his hoodie and dragged him into an empty recording booth, since they're booth was too far away, and threw Mike and herself under a table.

"Mike! Quiet it's her!"

"Huh! Who?"

"Listen, it's Kikyou. I know you don't understand but just hide!" Kagome listened to the footsteps walk. She peeked at her watch.

'KUSO! 24 seconds and counting!'

Thankfully, the footsteps faded off.

'17 seconds!'

"OK! C'mon Mike, we need to hurry! I'll explain later if you want but we need to get back!"

"Wah, HEY!" and poor Mike got hauled through the door. Finally, they reached the booth with 5 seconds to spare. Kagome jumped and fiddled with the controls so that once 'By Myself' was done, 'Breaking The Habit' would play, giving them an extra 3 minutes.

Meanwhile, Mike was taking a breather on his seat, slouched over, elbows on his thighs and head dropped low.

The rest of the guys however were silent. Mike and Kagome had entered the room, slightly red in the face, clothes and hair messed up and breathing heavily, in addition to being out for so long.

Phoenix reached up into Mike's spiky hair.

"Dude, is this carpet fuzz?" He dropped the fuzz and it disappeared into the carpet. All eyes looked from the carpet to Mike. Mike opened his mouth but Joe just cut in.

"It's ok dude. You don't need to explain."

"Shut it, Joe. It's not what it looks like."

"Well what is it supposed to look like?"

"Look we didn't do anything." All heads turned to the source. Kagome.

"Look I swear there's a good explanation but now isn't the time for this."

Chester sighed; this was really getting out of hand.

"Ok, what Mike chooses to do IF he ever chose to do anything is his choice, it's really none of our business guys.

"Thanks."

Note: Going back to using a conversational format.

AAA: Blah (talking)

AAA: 'Blah' (thoughts, only for Mike and Kagome)

Blah (Actions going on from 3rd person view)

Kagome: Alright! And that was 'Breaking The Habit' Linkin Park. For those who are just tuning in, Linkin Park is with us in the studio today. Now for the last half hour, they'll be answering questions that you sent in. The first letter comes from a Nagawa Yumi, hi Yumi, she writes, 'I know you guys will be doing 2 concerts here in Tokyo, but how long will you guys actually be in Japan?'

Chester: Well, we'll actually be here two full weeks, doing appearances as well.

Kagome: Really? Like what shows?

Brad: Aww, we can't tell, it's a secret.

Kagome: Not even a hint?

Brad: Not a chance.

Kagome: Alright, this next letter is from Fukugowu Yomi, he asks, 'Me and some friends have this little band of ours and we want to know how you get noticed.'

Brad: Heh, well me and Mike were the original founders, it took a while but you have to get a good band that you can work with and every member needs to be passionate about the cause. We went through plenty of people and the band constantly changed.

Mike: (Everyone's surprised he's talking.) Yeah, but don't forget that you need to get noticed, in a good way of course. Play gigs, record yourselves put it put on the net. If you're lucky, talent scouts will notice you.

Brad: Hey, you know sometimes, it's actually a good thing to get noticed in a bad way because everybody loves a scandal.

Everyone else: …

Kagome: Ok… (She reaches into the box of letters and grabs a random letter.) This next letter is from Kiro Hamiyasi.

Kagome looked at the letter and paused. She looked at the others with a solemn face.

Kagome: She asks, 'Hey Mike, sorry about your break up about with Anna. My boyfriend recently broke up with me so I was wondering, how do you get over something like that?'

Kagome bit her lip. Everyone else stopped breathing. Mike was silent and his head was bowed. Everything had been perfect but now the wound was being prodded again and all they could do was wait for an answer.
