Disclaimer: I don’t own Inuyasha and Co. that is currently the property of Rumiko Takahashi, Shogakukan, Shonen Sunday, Sunrise, Animax, Nippon TV, Yomiuri Tv, and the rest of those companies I can’t pronounce, with the exception of Akihiko (he’s my baby too) and all those other characters not in Inuyasha or all those Hispanic and English named people, those sexy people are all mine ! I also don’t own any of the songs that are in this story.

Chapter 1- Up Against (Blackout)
Regrets always workExcuses are betterA practical exchange Or a trade for the truthBut you know it never held up (but you know it never held up)Pretend that it's still good now
Face it this is what we’re up, up against
You’re waiting.
Ever minute is a minute away.

You’re waiting.
Ever minute is a minute away
Sirens blared in the distance as two ambulances passed the tiny mini-van in what seemed to be a sea of cars. Kagome let go of the steering wheel as she put the gear shift on park and leaned back in her seat, coffee mug in hand.
“Well, Aki, looks like we’re going to be late, again.”
Kagome was greeted by silence and glance up at the rear view mirror to see what her son was doing; sleeping. She wasn’t surprised at all. Ever since she got him that new Playstation 3, Akihiko had spent all his time playing video games on it.
She sipped some coffee and took the steering wheel as the traffic started to move, very, very slowly. She remembered the first time the doctors told her she was pregnant. Kagome and her husband, Kouga, were ecstatic. She couldn’t have been more happy now that she was married to the perfect man and was blessed with this perfect child growing inside of her. It reminded her of what Annie from the Broadway play, Chicago, once said, “ It was like Heaven with two and a half rooms.” That was, until she caught Kouga in the arms of Ayame! Kagome knew Ayame had a crush on her husband since she first met her in high school, but being with a man who she knew was already married! What a tramp! So let’s just say that was the end of that.
Kagome moved out the next week and filed for divorce within a month. They wanted to be together? Well, fine! They could be together all they want. She was surprised when Kouga decided to pass on the child support. So he didn’t want to have Aki from the start. It didn’t matter to her whether or not he thought their child was important. She was with her baby and they were going to make it, she was sure of it.
Kagome and Akihiko had ended up moving in with Sango, her best friend since elementary school, until Kagome could get back on her feet and afford an apartment. But, there wasn’t one day that passed that Kagome would look at her son and not see Kouga. She still loved him, after all. But, she didn’t trust men after that. She wouldn’t go on any of the blind dates that Sango would set her up in and didn’t go to clubs. She had to look after her baby.
She giggled as she remembered the first day of Kindergarten. She wouldn’t let Akihiko go, well, not until she was sure he was fully prepared. Which included getting smothered in kisses by his mom a few times.
Kagome was just about to drift off into another memory until she heard the honks from the car behind her.
“Hey bitch, move it along, would ya?!” She quickly looked up at the rear-view mirror, hoping to catch a glance at the rude, inpatient person behind her.
She was angry. Although she was usually a calm person, the one thing Kagome couldn’t stand was someone cursing at her. That’s precisely why she got out of her car and stomped over to the Ford truck behind her.
“What did you just call me?” Hands on her hips, she gave him the scariest glare she could produce.
Inuyasha had been cursing at that wench for sometime now, but those curses immediately fled his mind when he saw her. She was the spitting image of his diseased wife, Kikyo. She had the same face, the same body, even the same eyes! It was like this woman right in front of him was her twin sister! He just couldn’t believe it.
“Um, hello? What happened Mr. Macho, cat got your tongue?”
He almost forgot that she was the reason he was going to be late- no scratch that- extremely late.. He had been behind this woman’s car for the last hour and when the traffic started to clear up she hadn’t moved an inch.
“What?” he had been too busy checking her out to notice that she was speaking to him.
“I said-oh never mind. Listen mister, who do you think you are insulting me like that?”
“Who do you think you are to think you can hold up traffic?”
“Ugh! God! You know what, -”
HONKKKKKKK
Kagome’s little rant was cut off by the line of cars behind Inuyasha truck.
“See? You’re doing it again wench.”
The next thing that was heard among the all the beep’s and honk’s was a loud slap. Without thinking Kagome had just slapped Inuyasha. As she made her way back to her car she could very clearly hear more muttered curses from the man in the driver’s seat.
“Serves him right,” she murmured while sitting back in her car and almost immediately driving away.
“Mommy?”
“Yeah, baby.”
“We’re going to be late, aren’t we ?”
“I’m afraid so.”
The rest of the car ride was in silence as Kagome kept thinking about her run-in with the stranger that cursed at her. He was gorgeous! Obnoxious and irritating, but extremely gorgeous nonetheless.
He had oddest white hair that she’d never seen before, but it went well with him and his beautiful golden eyes. She had never seen such a marvelous eye color! He could have melted her with that extreme gaze he was giving her a few minutes ago. Not that she’d ever admit it to anyone. He looked like a model kind of like those guys you see modeling Armani or DKNY.
‘Anyways,’ she thought, ‘I better stop thinking about him. It’s not like I’m ever going to see him again.’
Shikon Elementary was coming into view and she knew it was time to drop off her son. The school itself was pretty big for an elementary school, and had lots of different paintings and smiley faces on the walls. A class project, she remembered, one that involved her son painting a portion of the wall outside. It had an enormous playground with many different slides and swings, which students were already enjoying, while their teachers watched them.
She loved the school. All of her son’s teachers were very nice and her son never once complained about them. She was scared stiff the first day she let her little boy go to school but once she saw the smile on his face when she picked him up it gave her a feeling of happiness.
“Mommy! I’ll see you later, okay? At two and remember, tonight’s open house you have to meet my teacher! He’s great!”
“A he? Well, that’s a nice change considering you always get the teachers of the female type.”
“I know! I’ll see you later. I love you, mommy.”
With that, he gave her a kiss on the cheek and ran into the school doors. Kagome sighed. She simply adored it when her son told her he loved her. She knew she would never get tired of those three little word coming from her son, mostly because she knew he meant it.
She didn’t know why, maybe it was her motherly intuition or something, but she could tell that today was definitely going to be interesting.
A/N: Alrighty then. That’s all for chapter one, I know SUPER short but I will get better with progress! I promise ! Muchas Gracias,again, and again, and again, to my beta, RandomnessUnleashed. I swear I could not have done it without you. You Rock! It’s kinda funny because I got the inspiration for this story during Tropical Storm Faye and now I’m doing chapter 2 during Hurricane Gustav and Hannah and those other two in the Atlantic. -_- . Well, Review please. It encourages me, a lot !
