Kiss of The Phoenix
Chapter 7: Going Back.
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: If I said I owned them I lied. And, almost all of the dialogue comes from the season 5 episode of Charmed: "Chris-Crossed"
Author's Note: I'm sooo soooo sorry this took so long. And no, it's not the end, I'm sorry for making you think that. Here you go.
"Are you sure this is the place?" Paige asked.
"This is where the crystal landed." Piper answered, knocking on the door to the apartment. A few moments later, a woman answered. "Hi, hows it goin?" Piper asked her.
"Can I help you?" The woman asked.
"Yeah, see," Paige began, "We just moved in from out of state and we wanted to get to know our neighbors." The woman's face lightened as she said,
"oh, well, welcome. Where did you move from?"
"Phoenix." Piper answered, a sarcastic smile on her face.
"Really?" The woman answered, seeming unaffected. "Please, come in."
"Thank you." Paige said, warmly, as she and Piper walked inside the tiny apartment. The woman closed, and locked, the door.
"Wow, nice place." Piper told her.
"Yeah, real nice." Paige agreed.
"Thank you." The blonde haired woman said.
A little girl ran in. "Mommy, can I play with the-" The little girl didn't get to finish because her mother cut her off with, "Bianca, sweetie, can you give your mommy a minuet?"
"Ok," The girl replied, looking around to see where she should go.
"Go play with your toy. I'll be right in, ok?" The woman said, guiding the girl to her room.
"Now what?" Paige whispered. Suddenly, the woman turned around and fired off an energy ball at the Paige and Piper, who ducked. Piper aimed, flicked her wrist's, and the woman blew to pieces. Piper looked at her sister, then at the door to the little girls bedroom. "The kid," She said, starting across the room.
When they got inside, the woman reformed, grabbed the girl, and shimmered out.
"They can reform?" Paige asked.
"Apparently. Which means the one that attacked Chris can, too..."

(A/N: ok, this is where we switch things up... nice Bianca, not mean, demonatrix Bianca...)
Chris orbed into the flower garden of a local park. He had to sit on the bench as soon as he materialized, though, due to his immense pain.
"You really shouldn't try to orb anymore." A sweet, familiar voice said behind him. She rushed in front of him and knelt down in front of him. She threw her arms around him and held on for dear life. But, she had to let go when she heard him wince. "How'd you know I'd be here?" He asked her.
"Same reason you knew I'd be. It's still our spot, isn't' it?"
"No," He said. "This is what we hoped it would be. This is what we were trying to preserve for our future. Do you remember?
"How could you think I could have forgotten?" She asked, surprised.
"Well, lets see... first, you show up, unannounced, then you try to kill me!"
"Not kill you, just take your powers."
"Same thing, Bianca, and you know it." She sighed as she stood up and sat down on the bench next to him.
"What happened to you, Bianca? How did he turn you?"
"He didn't, Chris, I swear. I'm not here because he turned me evil. I'm here because, if I bring you back powerless, he said he'd grant me a divorce."
"And you believed him!" He asked, trying to move away. She opened her mouth to answer when he said, "And don't tell me that he promised you, because you know that he was playing you."
"Maybe so, but if you come back powerless, then you wouldn't be a threat anymore. I really do think that he'd just let you go."
"Then you're Naive." He told her. She waited a few beats before changing the subject with,
"Listen, I was interrupted in stripping your of your powers. And, if I don't finish what I started, You'll die soon. This of it as... as an infection and I'm the only one with the antidote."
"Here or there, I'm dead anyway." He said, sounding like it was almost what he wanted.
"No," She said, taking his hands and holding them tightly in her own. "He gave me his word he wouldn't hurt you. Please, Chris. Don't make this harder then it has to be. Let me finish what I started, and come back with me."
Instead of answering, he just orbed off. Bianca tried to catch him, but the blue lights only disappeared in her hands.
"Chris..." She whispered, batting away the tears.

Bianca walked into the apartment that she had always known and went straight to the cabinet. She began taring though it, looking for the book. Her mother shimmered in, looking angry.
"Who are you and what do you want?"
"Wheres the Grimoire?" Bianca asked, still rummaging through the cabinet. Her mother, not realizing that it was her own daughter standing in her midst, she formed an energy ball. "One more time, who are you?" She asked. Bianca stopped looking long enough to turn around, look coldly into her mother's eyes and say, "Who do you think I am?" And then she held her wrist, and her mark, into the air.
"Bianca." Her mother breathed and the energy ball disappeared.
"In the flesh." Bianca told her. "Now, where's the Grimoire? I have to get the Charmed Ones off of my tail fast, and I need a spell to do it."
"I don't understand," Her mother said, stepping closer. "How is this possible."
"Look," Bianca said, growing impatient, "I don't' have time for reunions, okay? And I'm not about to make the same mistake a thousand other demons have made. Now, where's the damn book?" Her mother sighed, waved her hand, and the Grimoire appeared on the table. "Thanks. Now, do you know where the inhibitions spell is?" Bianca asked, wasting no time leafing through the pages.
"How is that gonna help?" Her mother asked.
"Look, I know the Charmed Ones. I've studied their history, I married their son. This is when they all wanted their separate lives. If I can release their inhibitions, maybe I can get them to pursue them."
"The spell won't last long."
"It doesn't have to. Just long enough to distract them so I can get what I came for." She ripped the page out of the book. "Got it, thanks."
Her mother didn't want her to leave. "Wait, do you have to go so soon? Can't I help?"
"Yeah, someday, when I ask you if I should marry a boy named Wyatt, tell me not to, instead of telling me to do so so that you can have your fair shot at the Charmed Ones. Because you'll lose. Which means that I'll lose you. And, eventually, I lose him, too." She said, coldly, before shimmering out.

When she orbed in, Piper and Leo were having some kind of discussion in the foyer. She walked over to Chris. "Hey, baby." She said, wiping away the sweat on his forehead. "Bianca?" He asked, sure that he was hallucinating. "Yeah, baby. Come on, we're going home." And then, she shimmered out. With Chris.

ok, I know that all of this sounds pretty familiar. Basically, I was just trying to get you up to speed on what's going on. Now, I'm not going to focus on the girls loosing all of their inhibitions, well, at all. Only because, this story isn't about them, it's about Bianca and Chris. So, next chapter is gonna be the going back, ect.. And, I'm sad to say that it will be the last chapter, also. But, look at the bright side: I'm almost done, so it'll be up in the next few days. I promise!
