Clouds coiled above her head in anticipation as she smirked at the stubborn man before her and ignited a rather small energy ball. She shifted her weight from one leg to the other, exhilarated, as he showed no visible reaction to her wordless threat. She hasn't seen him in over a week and despite the fact she would never admit, she missed him. In a way a feline misses her prey.

She released a nerve-raking cackle and measured his pressure points. Though she knew he had no way of defending himself and frankly her energy ball won't harm him one bit, she enjoyed the whole situation.

"So… what do you think will happen now?" she asked him, taunting smiling crossing her face. She was wondering why didn't he just orbed out the moment he saw her, instead of standing there and gazing at her with… What is it in his eyes?

"You will extinguish the energy ball," he replied confidently, not flinching an eyelash.

She raised a perfectly shaped eyebrow at his prediction and willed the energy ball to grow a little, simmering with menacing electricity as it hovered in her palm. "Oh… why is that?"

He smiled coyly, shaking his head a bit. "Because it won't help you with me… nor with what you're battling…"

She snarled at him, bouncing the ball from hand to the others. What do you know about my battles, Whitelighter? She tilted her head to one side, crackling the knots in her neck and smiled at him again. "And what am I battling, Leo?"

He silenced for a moment, gazing straight into her dark brown eyes. The blue in his eyes seethed with something she couldn't recognize and when he smiled at her, she was taken aback. She was used to many smiles - smirks, sneers and grimaces as such. But when he smiled, every time she could see he held no secret agenda.

He's too stupid to have secret agendas... She tried to fight when she felt herself lowering her hands and standing in front of him, gazing back. She still grasped the energy ball in her hand, but she knew she wouldn't use it. He kept smiling and for once she understood that he did had secret agenda on her behalf.

"Piece of greater good trash…" she spit him venomously, feeling her features grimace into a disgusted snarl. She wasn't sure, though, who disgusted her more - he or herself.

She took a step back and turned around, sinking her nails into the energy ball and trying to force herself to throw it at him. She almost did.

Suddenly she heard the familiar sound of orbing and turned around to see the shower of blue lights leave the scene. She roared and swung her arm aback, ready to hurl the energy ball into the darkness, just to get rid of it. But in the same moment when she was about to lose her hold on it, she saw him orb right in front of her, grabbing her wrist roughly and preventing her from throwing the energy ball.

He kept his grip strict and firm while lowering her hand and felt the heat from the ball dissipate in her palm. His frown softened then and he smiled again, pulling her closer to him.

She was surprised by his sudden reappearance and when his lips found hers, every fiber in her demonic being screamed at her to shimmer out. But she stayed put, deepening the kiss as her free hand was gripping the back of his head.

The voice in the back of her head kept shrieking, foreboding The Source's reaction when he finds out that his favorite demon was… What? This is nothing…

He drew away from her slowly, his eyes trying to break the impenetrable facade. "You want to know what you're battling?" he whispered quietly into her ear, intoxicated by the scent of her hair. "Yourself, Piper…"

She threw her head back and released another nerving laughter, almost subconsciously sinking her nails into the back of his head. She wrung her other hand out of his grip and stepped away, suddenly feeling outraged by this man. "You, my darling whitelighter, know nothing…" She smiled at him, regaining her composure and summoned another energy ball. This time she didn't wait for meaningless babbling and ceremonies and with a simple flick of her wrist hurled the ball at him, sending him crashing into a wall. "Especially me…"

She threw another couple of energy balls at him and shimmered out, suddenly noticing the strange tingling sensation of her lips.

Author's Notes: Let me just explain here something. This is Piper/Leo bit, but in an altered universe, where Leo is still a whitelighter and Piper is, and always was, a demon. There is a whole messed up thing with the power of three, but I decided to post this bit and see what kind of replies I get. If people like it, I will write more, expending the story to the Charmed Ones as well.
PLEASE, for the sake of my mental stability, REVIEW!!! Thank you -
