The Final Countdown
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or the song "The Final Countdown" or the band Europe
So...I can not write anything else because all of these little crazy plots are having a gladiator style beat down in my head, with my lovely muse as the referee. Most of them are inspired by a certain song, so I decided to make the one-shot in the same tone as the song (as in funny song=funny fic). There are really no reasons behind anything here, but I will never object to any advice on my writing.
I don't really know what else to say, just enjoy the insanity while it lasts.
Song: The Final Countdown
Artist: Europe

A military humvee slowly crept through the hundreds of people that crowded the street. It's destination was a twelve story building with the perimeter surrounded by chain link fence and armed military personnel. Inside of that building chaos had broken out. Running through the hallways, Kagome nearly forgot to open the door to what had been named the "war room". At that moment, everything about her screamed unorganized, from her white lab coat, to her less than designer glasses. She held the manila folders to her chest to keep the mess of papers from falling to the ground while she caught her breath. The others in the room didn't even stop to acknowledge her, only continued with their shouting.
"How in the hell are we getting out of this one? The people think that they have a chance at getting a seat on the shuttle by showing up here!" A short balding man waved his arms around to indicate where the 'here' was. Before anyone could respond, a slightly out of breath feminine voice spoke.
"Suki-san, you do realize that the shuttle leaves in less than five minutes. Even if they were to get through the gun wielding solders, they wouldn't make it to the shuttle in time." Kagome had moved from the doorway to the large round table and set down the documents she had been carrying.
"Kagome, what the hell are you doing here? You should be on that shuttle! You were specially selected! Get the launch commander on the phone! HURRY DAMN IT!" As soon as Suki had spoken, the men were up and running. Even those that weren't in the room and heard his yell ran to get the launch commander on the phone. "Damn it, Kagome! What were you thinking?" Suki ran to Kagome and shook her by the shoulders. When he let go, she bowed her head and spoke.
"I-I'm sorry, Suki-san! I should have said something earlier." Kagome knew that it was a very high honor to be selected to be one of the first humans to travel to Venus, but the risk was too great. She still wondered how she was selected to be one of the two people to go. She wasn't an astronaut, she just worked in the lab. 'I guess it was just luck'. A shout came from the hall that made Kagome's stomach jump.
"Suki-san, they can hold the shuttle for another five minutes!"
"Higurashi, you better not fuck this up! RUN!" Suki grabbed Kagome's glasses and pushed her out the door. A nervous little man ran at her from the end of the hall. 'Jaken? Was that his name?'
"Higurashi-san, this way! Here give me your clothes and put this on. No! There is no time for modesty!" He took off running once again. Kagome changed outfits as she ran, constantly blushing. 'Oh well, I might not survive this so it won't be a big deal'. They reached the oversized back door with one minute left before the shuttle departed. When the door opened Kagome was awestruck by the sheer size of the shuttle. She had only seen them from the control room, never up close. "You have to strap yourself in. Don't worry, you companion will help if you ask. Go up the elevator and straight into the shuttle. You better be strapped in before take-off. GO!" Jaken ran back into the building. His last sentence spurred Kagome to run faster than her body wanted. She heard the call of "Thirty seconds until blast off" and dove into her seat. Her heart beat faster that humanly possible and her hands shook. Her brain had not processed what had just happened, or who her silent companion was. She had just barely finished with the last strap when she heard it. The final countdown.
Ten...Nine...Eight...Seven...Six...Five...Four ...Three...Two...One...
Kagome closed her eyes as tight as she could as the blasters started to propel the shuttle from the ground.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kagome didn't remember how long it had been, but the next thing she knew was a masculine voice.
"We meet again, Higurashi-sama." His voice practically oozed seduction. Kagome snapped her eyes open when she realized she did not recognize the voice. When she looked over, she did not even recognize the man.
"Um, sorry, have we met?" Kagome noticed that he was not strapped in, but leaning against the side of the shuttle with his arms crossed, so she began to free herself. His hands suddenly appeared over hers, as he kneeled in between her legs. Kagome's eyes widened. "What the hell are you doing?"
"You...in a moment." Sesshomaru quickly destroyed all of the restraints, his face holding a devilish grin.
"What!" Kagome jumped off of the chair and landed flat on her ass. She looked up to see her male companion stalking over to her. As she scrambled to her feet she took a closer look at his face. His long silver hair and golden eyes clicked in her brain. "Hey! I do know you! We went to the same university. But you were less...attractive...to me then and more...of a stalker" 'I can't remember why I didn't find him attractive.' She traveled from his face down to his bare chest. 'Wait a minute! Where is his shirt?' "Sesshomaru Something-or-other, right?" He stopped right in front of her.
"I have a proposition for you." Ignoring her, Sesshomaru began unzipping the orange suit that Kagome had on, leaving her in a tank top and shorts.
"Listen, Mister! You can't just expect me to want to sleep with you just because you are a man and I am a woman. And because we are stuck, alone, on a space shuttle." Kagome stuck up her chin in defiance. She was still not sure why she was here, or why he was here, but she was pretty sure it wasn't just for an intergalactic booty call. Pretty sure.
Sesshomaru smirked and looked down at Kagome with fire in his eyes. "I give you two options. Option A. I destroy Earth and we repopulate it. Option B. I destroy Earth and we do not repopulate it." He let out a small laugh at Kagome's look of horror. "Before you choose, I should let you know, either way, we shall be lovers." To prove his point, Sesshomaru slid his hands lightly down Kagome's sides, stopping when he reached her hips.
"Now I remember why you weren't attractive. You are fucking insane!" 'Why are the sexy ones always homicidal?' Kagome pulled away and was surprised when he did not stop her. Kagome looked around to find the best way to escape from the extremely seductive lunatic.
"You have a different idea." Sesshomaru leaned against a chair and crossed his arms over his naked chest.
Kagome glared at the tempting sight Sesshomaru made. Her mind started to process everything, starting with her being chosen to go to Venus and ending with her current situation. "You planned this all out! Take some woman onto a space ship with you then make her your love slave! Why did you choose me? Random selection?" Kagome leaned back and mimicked his position. 'Course he could still be obsessed with me. Kami I hope not!'
Sesshomaru moved towards a window and stared down at the Earth. His voice was less seductive when he spoke. "When you crave something, do you not go insane without it?" He turned his intense golden gaze onto Kagome, leaving her unable to move. "Perhaps it is just when that thing you crave is love from another." He moved towards her, the seduction slipping back into his voice. "Option A or B?"
Kagome backed away from him, but was stopped when her body came in contact with the wall. Sesshomaru placed his hands back onto her, gently stroking her hip bones with his thumbs. Her heartbeat picked up when she saw the passion in his eyes. "Why do I have to choose? Either way you will kill everyone and rape me."
"Never," was all he whispered before slowly moving his lips onto hers. Kagome closed her eyes and did not protest, a little scared of what he might do if she refused. She felt his masculine hands began to move from her hips to her lower back as he softly bit her lip. Kagome's hands instinctively went around his neck to deepen the kiss. She was not sure what else to do, as her choices were few and far between. His tongue tried to coax hers, but failed. He slowly pulled back and just waited for Kagome to open her eyes.
Kagome opened her eyes, but kept them downcast. 'Being pinned against a wall in an intimate pose with a maniac in space is definitely one for the books.' Never one to enjoy awkward silence, Kagome spoke. "What now?"
Sesshomaru pulled her against his body, and smirked at the gasp it pulled from her. "Apparently, my penis speaks louder than words."
Dead silence followed his words. 'Oh Kami, did he just say...' Kagome's hysterical laughter rang throughout the entire shuttle. Sesshomaru let go of Kagome and stormed away, suddenly not 'in the mood'.
Kagome yelled after him in between laughs, "It's ACTIONS speak louder than words!"
