Ballroom
"Gizem!" Kurama yelled worriedly as Taru took a pipe that had fallen out of the wall from a crash and smacked the vampire so hard it's head literally flew off. Gizem fell on the ground clutching her neck as Kurama ran over after...disposing...of a vampire.
"Gizem can you hear me?" Taru asked as Gizem clenched her teeth and made herself stand up. When she stood Kurama noticed several fang marks on her neck and was about to say something to her when she took off.
"Keep moving!" She yelled as she dodged vampires. Taru looked at Kurama sadly.
"You noticed...didn't you?" Taru asked as Kurama nodded.
"Why didn't you-" Kurama started.
"I'll explain later." Taru said as she ran off. Kurama sighed as he to ran off to give the girls a clear shot. Gizem walked up the stteps to Dracula.
"M'lord I wished for you alone to be able to take my blood. I would be honored to be one of your sacrifices." Gizem said as Dracula stroked her cheekbones and then bit into her neck, "TARUUUUUUUUUUU!" Gizem screamed as his fangs lengthened inside her neck. She began to collapse as Taru came up behind Gizem, she flung herself at Dracula and stabbed the stake into his heart.
"D-da-amn y-yo-ou." Dracula said as he began to vaporate into dust, both of his fangs remained in Gizem's neck as Taru eased her friend to the ground.
"Kurama! Grab the flask on our table with a cross on it and bring it over, quick!" Taru shouted as Kurama did as he was directed. Taru opened the flask and poured it over Gizem's wounds where the fangs were lodged, "On three, try to take the fangs out. One...two...three!" Taru said as she covered Gizem's mouth to avoid her screaming. Kurama managed to pull the first fang out and he stroked Gizem's hand softly to let her know he was there. After another mini-count-down he pulled the other fang out and Gizem faded into unconciousness.
"It's not gonna be that easy is it?" Kurama asked looking at Dracula.
"What do you think? There's all these vampires, plus his kin in the back, and since he died, the vampires from around the world are going to be coming to compete for his position. SHANICE!" Taru yelled taking over for Gizem.
"Ya Taru? WHAT HAPPENED TO GIZEM?" Shanice screamed as Taru shushed her.
"Take Gizem, Keiko, Yukina, Botan, Era, and yourself and get out of here. Go back to the temple." Taru said.
"Are you saying that this is men's work!" Shanice said, annoyed at the supposed sexism.
"I am." Taru replied darkly.
"THEN YOU HAVE TO COME ALONG TOO!" Shanice yelled in an annoyed voice.
"I'm taking Hiei's place. NOW GO!" Taru screamed at her. Shanice was taken aback but the sudden yell from Taru but she bowed after seeing Taru's eyes, which seemed murderous.
"Yes Ma'am." Shanice added as she slung one of Gizem's arms over her shoulder. The other girl groaned at being moved but remained silent otherwise.
"Oh and Shanice, please grab that choker, she needs it." Taru said as Shanice nodded and grabbed the choker Taru was pointing at before leaving.
"Taru, are you sure..." Kurama trailed off as Taru smiled.
"Of course I am Kurama-niikun." Taru said, Kurama smiled at being called her big brother and he nodded.
"Alright then. Come on." Kurama added as the vampires began to come in from the back.
"I need holy water!" Taru cried after a few minutes of punching and kicking and literal biting from the vampire's side.
"I need a new life!" Yusuke was heard yelling. For the past few battles he had been shouting incoherent but loud, swear words and Taru laughed when she heard him say something audible...and probably true.
"We need hobbies is what we need!" Kuwabara yelled and gain Taru began laughing as she continued fighting.
"Ei'er ya laughin' at t'em or ya really enjoyin' t'is, lassie." Jin said as Taru smiled at getting a bit of back up and refilled holy water from Touya.
"No worries Jin, I'm laughing at the dorks." She said as she kicked one of the vampires closer to Jin than one would be comfortable. As the battle dragged on Taru ran by curtains taking them off the windows and finally locking all possible escape roots. And then the sun came. Dracula's kin froze first. And then tried to claw at the doors to get out. The other vampires, from all around the world just continued to claw at the doors, which were reinforced with ice...courtesy of Touya. As the vampires desintegrated into ash Jin gave Taru a pat on the back and she grimaced as her blood dripped down her forehead...how the vampiers had managed to steal Kurama's rose whip for a few moments...no one would ever know...but that mark was deffinetly courtesy of Kurama's whip. Jin helped her stand since the hit was starting to take it's toll and make her dizzy. They began walking after Taru continuously told Kurama it wasn't his fault. They continued walking and 'celebrating' on their way to Genkai's.

The Next Day
"I can't believe you guys didn't take a rest." Taru muttered in Jin's arms having lost feeling in her legs from bloodloss a while ago. The guys looked T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E, Terrible.
Yusuke was woozily walking almost appearing drunk. His body looked like a piece of lace from all the scratches on his body. Okay, scratch the almost.
Koenma was deffinetly ready to take a snooze. He was just as cut up maybe a bit less, and he looked like a solid puddle.
Kuwabara was walking with his eyes closed and Taru could've sworn she heard him snore a few times.
Jin's hair was down around his face and his body was a bloodied mass...though Taru couldn't tell if it was all his blood or his blood and vampire blood.
Touya had long since formed a cane of ice to use seeing as his leg was dislocated and he couldn't figure out how to put it back in since he was so tired...Shanice would fix it for him anyways. Kurama seemed like he was going to collapse at any minute. He felt guilty for hitting Taru (though he hadn't really) and he was scared that Gizem hadn't been alright, he was so tired he felt like he could sleep for a thousand years and he also knew...he had to go to work tomorrow. Maybe he would call in sick for the next week...
"Go back to your snooze Taru." Yusuke said as he helped Kurama from falling on his face. Apparently Kurama was so tired that he was now tripping over his own feet. Very un-Kurama.
"Shut up Yusuke. Save your own strength." Taru replied, wanting to walk but knowing she wouldn't be able to...she'd need to see a chiropractor or someone before that happened. Then Genkai's loomed before them and they sighed with relief. Kurama began to run to the temple, hoping everyone was alright. They all began to use up the last bits of their energy as they ran up the steps and into the room to see a frantic Shanice, A calm (yes...CALM) Era, Half-asleep Gizem who had just woken up after feeling their auras, Worried Yukina who immediatly grabbed the first aid kit and along with Shanice set to work, Botan immediatly flung herself at Koenma happily, who caught her and leaned against the wall smiling with her in his arms. Keiko came up to Yusuke and looked at him worriedly before kissing him and hugging him as she tried to stop from crying from relief. Yusuke just hugged her smiling like the fool he was. Hiei came from the window to ask Taru if she was alright, not appearing to give much of a hoot. Kurama made his way to the couch where Gizem still looked half-asleep and pale. Very pale...
"Good morning stranger." Gizem said smiling.
"Good morning...Gizem." Kurama said hesitating on what he should call her.
"Ooooh...you know don't you?" Gizem asked.
"Know what?" Kurama asked playing dumb.
"Nevermind. Are you okay?" She asked as Kurama seemed to slow down.
"I think I will be as soon as...I sleep." Kurama replied trying to stifle a yawn. Gizem smiled as she adjusted the way she was sitting to be a bit more comfortable, "Are YOU...alright?" Yawn. "Excuse me."
"I'm fine. You should know that, you and Taru of all people. How much do you wanna bet that Hiei likes Taru as more than a friend?" Gizem asked.
"50 bucks says he does." Kurama replied.
"I don't have 50 bucks, and I called it first." Gizem said smiling.
"Fine, 5 bucks." Kurama said.
"5 bucks I can do." Gizem replied as they shook on it. Kurama yawned again and began to fall asleep. Luckily he was on the couch. Unluckily for the girl who was about to get up...he leaned his head on her shoulder unconciously and comfortably fell asleep. Gizem couldn't bring herself to move him so she carefully took the first aid kit and moved so that she could rest his head in her lap and she could take care of his wounds.
'He'll wake up on his own soon enough.' She thought...as an excuse to why she was letting him sleep on her. By the time lunch rolled around Hiei and Taru were talking, Taru had managed to talk Hiei into helping her around...since she still couldn't feel her legs. Hiei got fed up soon enough though and he helped Taru onto the floor so she could lay on her stomach. Yukina brought out some onigiri for Gizem as a loud crunch and a crack followed by a scream of pain filled the room and temple.
"Was that her back?" Gizem asked.
"Minus the scream." Hiei said nodding.
"Ya that was just plain her mouth." Gizem said smiling as Taru grabbed a pillow and screamed into it loudly from the pain after Hiei stepped on her back and pulled her arms behind her back the second time.
"I...am NEVER going to dislocate...my back...and relocate it...with his help...again." Taru said as she stood up and sat back down on the couch extremely stiffly. Gizem laughed and noticed Kurama's half-open eyes on her lap.
"Good afternoon sleepy head." Gizem said as she offered an onigiri. Kurama sat up for a minute to eat the onigiri dizzily as Gizem was about to get up. She managed to get up this time without Kurama falling asleep on her and she grabbed some drinks for them. Orange juice for her and green tea with chamomile for Kurama. She sat back down and gave Kurama his drink after he finished his onigiri she put her feet on the coffee table and polished off her orange juice. Kurama set his tea on the table and then sat there for a minute as if lost, trying not to fall asleep but evidently losing as he closed his eyes and fell onto Gizem again. A small oof came from her as she laughed at his sleepiness.
"Are we having a clearance celebration tonight? As long as everyone's up?" Taru asked.
"We kinda have to don't we." Gizem answered as she looked at th echoker in her hands. She hadn't put it on again yet since she was afraid it would break the bandage and agitate her wounds.
"What's a clearance celebration party?" Hiei asked.
"Well, we clear up any questions about anything and we do it at a celebration. In this case it'll be a celebration that you guys are back and that the vampires are gone." Taru explained as Hiei nodded understandingly. Eventually they heard the shrieks of Shanice at Touya about dislocating his leg...again...
'Touya dislocated his leg before?' Gizem.
'That's news to me.' Taru.
'Me to.' Gizem. And then Era began yelling at Jin...for apparently groping her...Taru and Gizem smiled nervously at this. Then Keiko's screams about going off and fighting all the time were heard, silenced in the middle of what she was saying by what Taru and Gizem guessed was Yusuke kissing her. They all began to nod off and eventually even Gizem was asleep against the couch. They woke up to the smell of food and Gizem looked at her lap to see Kurama sitting there silently, appearing to have been awake for little while now. He was staring at Gizem and when she caught his eyes cluelessly he sat up immediatly and muttered an apology while blushing lightly.
'He looks like he did when he was 17.' Gizem thought as she chuckled softly, she stretched her legs and got up, waking Hiei and Taru up, Taru had been using Hiei as a pllow and Hiei had fallen asleep against the couch. After dinner they had cake and when Genkai left to the bars the girls managed to keep the guys from going anywhere.
"Time for a blood oath." Gizem said as she brought out a silver bowl with and Ankh carved into the bottom.
"A blood oath?" Yukina asked.
"Ya, it's where you-" Taru started.
"You provide a certain amount of drops of blood and mix them with another person's if you break the oath you can die." Hiei explained to his sister who nodded.
"Thank you for explaining brother." She added witha smile.
"Hn." Hiei returned as Taru rolled her eyes. Each person (Yusuke, Era, Touya, Keiko, Jin, Shanice, Kuwabara, Yukina, Kurama, Taru, Hiei, & Gizem) all provided 13 drops of blood from their fingers into the bowl. Gizem mixed them together and made each person dip the finger they had taken their blood out of into the bowl. Forming the blood oath.
"We will tell the truth." Gizem started.
"We will not lie." Taru continued.
"We will answer every question." Gizem added.
"We can not avoid the question." Taru added again.
"We will reveal all answers." Gizem finished as they sat indian style on the ground.
"So, how does this work?" Yusuke asked.
"Anyone asks a question and whoever it's directed to, must answer it." Taru explained.
"Alright...Gizem..." Kuwabara trailed off.
"Yes?"
"Are you part cat?"
"Ahahaha-No."
"Ok, just checking since Gato is spanish for cat and all."
"Kuwabara..."
"Yes?"
"You're a moron."
"OHHH! DISS!" Yusuke yelled.
"Yusuke?" Gizem said.
"Ya?"
"So are you."
"Double diss, nice." Keiko said as she and Gizem high-fived eachother. Gizem was smiling her slightly toothy grin as Yusuke and Kuwabara pouted.
"Okay, realistically please." Taru said.
"Alright, Realistic question-," Touya started, "Are you really who you say you are, Taru and Gizem?"
"Yes..." Taru said.
"And no." Gizem answered, with her head downcast slightly.
