Another chapter by yours truly. Enjoy. I have been bringing in some characters from other series, they are merely minor or secondary cameos at best. This story is still Naruto x Charmed with some slight Harry Potter and other magical series. The primary focus will and is always just Naruto and Charmed.

Phoebe knocked loudly on the upstairs bathroom door the next morning. "Hello, there are other people in this house that have styling needs too." She reminded the sister that was locked in the bathroom with a voice that dripped with annoyance.
Piper slowly stumbled up to the door, rubbing the sleep out her eyes. "Is there a Prue in there also?" Piper asked.
"One of them, yes." Phoebe answered shortly.
Piper threw her hands in the air and rolled her eyes. "I'm gonna have to wash my hair in the kitchen sink if I want to get to work on time." She exclaimed. "Do you know which one is the real Prue yet?" Piper demanded after a moment.
"Oh, I don't know. It could be the upstairs-bathroom-hogging Prue or the downstairs-bathroom-hogging Prue or the sitting-in-the-kitchen-drinking-all-the-coffee Prue." Phoebe hissed, inwardly fuming. Piper narrowed her eyes dangerously, obviously not in the mood for Phoebe's sarcasm.
"Is there a problem?" Prue wondered, looking directly at Phoebe.
"Aside from you going off and casting a spell that's kept our bathrooms busy for the past three hours?" Piper asked rhetorically. "Nothing." She answered her own question.
"Don't blame me, I didn't cast the spell." Prue returned cheerfully.
"Great, you're a clone." Phoebe realized, relieved to have figured one of them out.
Prue frowned at the word. "Well, no, I'm not exactly a clone, I mean; I do have all of Prue's memories up until the time she cast the spell so in a lot of ways I am Prue." Prue explained with a smirk at her younger sisters.
"Then it is your fault." Piper snapped, rolling her eyes dramatically.
"No, it's not…" Prue disagreed before flashing an innocent smile to Piper and Phoebe. "… And neither is the lack of hot water." She giggled, pushing between them and heading for the stairs.
Phoebe's mouth dropped in disbelief. "Oh, you didn't… Geez!" Phoebe muttered as she watched Prue walk away.
Piper's hand invariably moved up to cradle her head where she felt a serious migraine coming on. "This is ridiculous. This is like the 'Parent Trap' with a D cup."
Phoebe suddenly smiled in realization. "I think I might've just found a way to take some of the Disney out of our life." She mumbled, turning away from Piper and rushing toward Prue's bedroom.
The three Prues in all congregated in the Foyer with large cups of coffee.
"You look great." The Prue farthest to the left complimented to the one next to her.
"No, you look great." The middle Prue replied enthusiastically.
The Prue on the right was trying to play with her skirt so that it accentuated her figure more. "Is my skirt tight enough?" She wondered to the other two.
"Yes." The middle Prue assured her.
"It's perfect." The one on the left agreed.
Piper and Phoebe rushed down the stairs before any argument could potentially erupt. Phoebe was carrying three different colored sweaters in her arms. "Okay, which one of you is the real Prue?" Phoebe demanded.
All three Prues raised their hands. Piper glared at them. "Stop that." She ordered sharply before pointing to the one of left admitted to being the real one.
"Okay, then you get the black sweater." Phoeb decided.
The real Prue stared at the sweater curiously. "Phoebe, what are you doing?" She asked.
"I'm color-coding. It's the only way we are going to be able to tell you three apart." Phoebe explained before passing the pink sweater to the middle Prue. "Clone A gets the pink sweater and Clone B gets the blue sweater."
"Thank you." The 'Pink' Prue appreciated followed by a reluctant "Thanks." From 'Blue' Prue.
"Good thinking with the sweaters." Piper stated.
Phoebe nodded slightly in acknowledgement. "Thanks. But it's only a temporary solution." She admitted softly.
"And the spell?" Piper wondered, turning her brown eyes on the Prues.
"Oh, the spell is only temporary too. We're only here as long as we're needed." 'Pink Prue' answered promptly.
"We were called for a reason and once that reason's gone the spell wears out and we disappear." The 'Blue Prue' elaborated while 'Real Prue' nodded, appearing impressed with her clones.
"Once we vanquish Gabriel." 'Pink Prue' explained further for no other reason than to outshine 'Blue Prue.'
Piper exchanged a look with Phoebe. "And how are we planning on doing this?"
"Funny you should ask. See I was thinking…" 'Pink Prue' began before the Real Prue could even begin to answer.
"That we could find Gabriel by tracking down the ownership records to that Roman Vessel…" 'Blue Prue interrupted.
"… In Bucklands antiquities database." 'Pink Prue' finished with glance at 'Blue Prue.'
Real Prue smiled and walked up to join her sisters. "That's why I called my assistant…" She trailed off as 'Pink Prue' pointedly cleared her throat. "… Our assistant…" Prue amended with a slight nod in 'Pink Prue's' direction. "… and she's already on it."
'Blue Prue' smirked at the younger Halliwell sisters. "Are we good or what?" She stated rhetorically.
"Are you sure you have the power to vanquish him?" Piper asked unconvinced.
"Observe." Real Prue returned, waving her hands for the other two Prues to join her as she walked toward the marble statue that was in the Conservatory. "Ladies, shall we." They joined hands and 'Blue Prue,' who was in the middle, channeled all three of their power to levitate the statue easily several feet above the floor. "Enough said?" Real Prue questioned with a pointed look back at her sisters that were staring open-mouthed at the display.
Piper and Phoebe just stared in disapproval at their eldest sister and her clones.
The Prues were gently sitting the statue back where it had been when the doorbell rang. "I'll get that." 'Pink Prue' decided, heading off for the front door just as the phone began to ring.
"I'll get the phone." 'Blue Prue' stated as much as offered before heading towards it, leaving the real Prue to look uncertainly around.
"Wait, I should…" Real Prue started to stop 'Pink Prue' but she was already opening the door so the real Prue ducked out of the way.
'Pink Prue' pulled the door open to find Andy standing on the front steps. "Andy, hi." She greeted cheerfully, casually leaning against the door while the real Prue stopped her retreat and listened intently when she heard Andy's name.
"Hi, can I come in?" Andy asked, noting how she seemed to be trying to inconspicuously block the door.
"Now's not really a good time." 'Pink Prue' admitted before her eyes flickered to his tie. "Wow that is a nice tie." She complimented suddenly.
Andy chuckled softly. "Thanks."
"So, uh, what did I do now?" 'Pink Prue' wondered, being sure to put it in her most innocent voice.
"I don't know, you tell me." Andy suggested.
'Pink Prue' smiled and shrugged. "Whatever it is, I have an alibi." She replied.
"Good thing this is a social call then." Andy returned with a faint smile.
"Social call? Really? Now you're beginning to look suspicious." She quipped, effectively earning a laugh from Andy.
Andy reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a couple slips of paper. "Remember a few months ago, we ordered tickets to the Bay Area Music Awards?" 'Pink Prue' nodded slightly and he continued. "They came in the mail. I thought you might want them.''
'Pink Prue' hesitantly took the tickets from Andy. "That is so sweet."
"You can take anyone you want even an old boyfriend who's just a friend now, but loves good music." Andy went on with a soft chuckle.
"I'll take that into consideration." 'Pink Prue' assured him.
"Yeah, you ponder that." Andy allowed before offering her one last smile. "I'll see ya'."
Real Prue's shoulders slumped in disappointment as Andy walked away and even more when 'Pink Prue' shut the door, blocking her last view. "Why did you do that? We're,'' she paused. ''I am seeing Naruto?'' Real Prue prompted.
''Oh come on its just a concert. I'm not going to hop into bed with him?''
''I'm?'' Prue once more prompted.
''Well you know how our fella with the yellow is. He's most likely going to have us train for a few days before even considering facing Gabriel and I for one don't plan on being cooped up in this house all day.''
'Blue Prue' returned to her place with the rest of the Halliwells. "Houston, we have a problem." She announced dramatically.
"Raging clone hormones?" Phoebe guessed sarcastically.
'Blue Prue' narrowed her eyes at Phoebe. "No." She replied shortly. "That was Claire calling. She said that if I, well, one of us doesn't get to the office pronto, you'll be looking for a new job." 'Blue Prue' explained to the real one.
Real Prue's eyes widened and she looked desperately around for some inspiration. "Okay, okay, we can swing this." She decided.
Piper stared at Prue in disbelief. "No, no, no, wait. You're not seriously thinking about leaving the house?"
"You can't hide three you at the office." Phoebe pointed out.
"Two of us may not be able to separate Gabriel from his sword but we can certainly fight him off." 'Blue Prue' argued.
"Which means two of us can go and save Prue's job and whoever's left behind can go to Quake with Piper." 'Pink Prue' suggested, expanding 'Blue Prue's' thought.
The Prues shrugged and turned to Piper who was shaking her head enthusiastically. "Oh, no, no, no. Forget it." Piper snapped.
"Piper, you have an active power, and besides, Phoebe, your premonition didn't happen at Quake, right?" Real Prue responded, turning on them.
Phoebe hesitated. "I can't be sure…" She reluctantly mumbled as she tried to recall, but couldn't pinpoint the location of the premonition.
Real Prue ignored Phoebe's answer. "Still, worst case scenario, Piper freezes Gabriel and she runs."
"No, no, I don't like this idea. I don't like it at all. I think we should all stay together, all five of us." Piper decided. ''Well six when Naruto gets back. ''
"I think Piper's right." Phoebe also agreed. "The book said it requires the strength of three to take on Gabriel. It's not safe to split up." She went on.
Real Prue nodded slightly in acknowledgement. "Okay. All who don't like the plan…?" Real Prue offered and watched as Piper and Phoebe raised their hands. "… All who do…?" The three Prue's raised their hands. "Oh, wow, once again majority rules. Sorry Sis." The three Prues smirked and followed one another down the hallway, leaving Piper and Phoebe to exchange worried glances in the Foyer.
Real Prue and 'Pink Prue' walked through the halls of Bucklands Auction house with Real Prue hiding her face behind a magazine as they made their way to Prue's office. As 'Pink Prue' caught sight of their assistant, she pushed the real Prue behind a wall and quickly caught the assistant's attention.
"Hi, is Claire around?" 'Pink Prue' asked cheerfully.
The assistant smiled faintly and nodded. "She's been buzzing every fifteen minutes." She explained with a chuckle. "You want me to get her?" She wondered politely.
"Not yet." 'Pink Prue' stopped her, her demand a little too hasty to be casual. "Uh, did you dig up the information on the Roman Vessel?" She questioned, ignoring the weird glance the assistant was sending her.
The assistant nodded and took a piece of paper off her desk and handed it to 'Pink Prue.' "Hot off the laser jet." The assistant answered.
'Pink Prue's' eyes immediately searched for Gabriel's address. She smiled triumphantly upon seeing it. "Gabriel Statler's address. Good." She praised, now thinking of how to get rid of her assistant for the day. "Now I need you to get me photocopies of all my sales files for the quarter." 'Pink Prue' ordered.
Real Prue rolled her eyes in disbelief at the job 'Pink Prue' had come up with.
The assistant's eyes widened as well. "But that could take hours." She pointed out.
"You're right, you know what, I need you to get me copies of everyone's files." 'Pink Prue' decided led her assistant toward the door.
"But that could take days." She exclaimed.
'Pink Prue' just smiled and pushed her down the hall. "Well then you better start now. Bye bye." When her assistant had disappeared down the hallway, 'Pink Prue' turned cockily to Real Prue and waited expectantly.
Real Prue's eyes were narrowed in silent disapproval as she pulled her magazine back over her face and followed 'Pink Prue' into their office. As soon as 'Pink Prue' had closed the door behind them, real Prue tossed the magazine on her desk and turned sharply to her clone. "Did you have to make her photocopy all of the files?" She demanded, crossing her arms in a show of disapproval.
"You wanted her to see us together?" 'Pink Prue' asked rhetorically and with a cool air.
Real Prue shook her head in annoyance. "No, but you didn't even thank her and you were so bossy."
"That's why we're called bosses." 'Pink Prue' explained as if talking to a child. Real Prue rolled her eyes while 'Pink Prue' wasted no time in getting down to business. "Alright, so now that we have Gabriel Statler's address…" She started.
"No." Real Prue interrupted. "Alright, you stay here and I will talk to Claire first." She decided with her own babying voice.
"Why do you get to talk to Claire?" 'Pink Prue' demanded, appearing to have taken offense.
"Because I still have to work here when all this is over." Real Prue returned snappily.
"Prue, are you in there?" Claire's annoyed voice sounded through the office door.
The two Prues' eyes widened. "Claire!" They exclaimed, looking around for inspiration.
'Pink Prue' pushed the real Prue behind the door just as the door opened and Claire stepped in. 'Pink Prue' was just barely able to catch the swinging door before it slammed Real Prue against the wall. "Claire, hi." 'Pink Prue' greeted with forced innocence.
"I want an explanation for yesterday." Claire snapped, having no time for pleasantries.
"What do you mean?" 'Pink Prue' feigned ignorance.
"Helena Statler called to tell me she was so offended by your behavior that she's taking her collection to Christie's. What happened?" Claire elaborated, narrowing her eyes dangerously at 'Pink Prue.'
'Pink Prue' nodded quickly in understanding and forced a smile. "Claire, um, I've already made arrangements to make a personal apology and put Bucklands back in the running." She fabricated before pulling out the ownership records of the Roman vessel. "As a matter of fact, I convinced Miss Statler to meet me at her estate. See, here's the address."
Claire took the paper harshly and tried to push the door closed again as she attempted to step into Prue's office. Real Prue bit her lip and squeezed up against the wall while casting 'Pink Prue' a glare for the predicament. Claire didn't seem to notice any resistance to the door. "Okay, you really think you can get this account back?" Claire asked as she read over the paper.
"I'd stake my job on it." 'Pink Prue' answered, earning a look of disbelief from Real Prue.
"Good, because you just did." Claire laughed before glancing back down at the paper. "Alright, I'll grab my briefcase and we'll take my car." She went on.
Real Prue frantically shook her head and mouthed 'no' to 'Pink Prue.' "Uh, No!" 'Pink Prue' repeated.
Claire turned around with a mocking smile at 'Pink Prue.' "No? Oh, yes, yes, yes. I'm not gonna leave you alone with that client again." She countered, spinning around and leaving Prue behind.
Real Prue closed the door as Claire left. "What was that?" She demanded with a dramatic hand movement back at Claire.
"Hail Mary Pass?" 'Pink Prue' offered, biting her lip slightly.
Real Prue sighed and nodded in reluctant understanding. "Okay, let us think, um, look I hate to say this but maybe Naruto can use one of his genjutsus on her?''
''Not exactly the most moral thing to do.'' 'Pink Prue' countered.
''Well, we don't have much of a choice. Claire's...''
''A bitch?'' 'Pink Prue' offered up.
''No,'' 'Real Prue' sternly replied. ''...look it's not like I can go you mind if I take the rest of the day off while my sisters, I, and our lover go and vanquish this psychopath trying to kill me? Kay thanks! Whether you agree or not isn't up for debate. Now you call the other us at Quake and I'll call Naruto.''
"I love it when I'm so decisive." 'Pink Prue' remarked, earning a look of annoyance from Real Prue.
"Okay, look, go get the other Prue and take her to the Manor. We're going to go over a game plan and finish this." Real Prue repeated slowly trying to make sure 'Pink Prue' understood. Real Prue pushed past her clone and picked the phone up off her desk, dialing a number. "Hey, yeah, Pheebs, it's me… No, the real one… I'm just checking in." She began.
'Pink Prue' rolled her eyes at the real Prue. "We do that a lot don't we?" She asked rhetorically. "Check in with our sisters, make sure they're okay." 'Pink Prue elaborated when the Real Prue stared at her in confusion. "Don't you think that if there WAS a problem they would call us and let us know?"
Real Prue's eyes narrowed at her counterpart. "Phoebe, I'll call you back. I have to go yell at myself." She explained, hanging up the phone and preparing for a lecture, which 'Pink Prue' readily awaited.
"Prue?" Claire's voice interrupted just as Real Prue was about to start.
Instead, Real Prue glared and resigned herself to just pushing 'Pink Prue' out of the way before racing to intercept Claire at the door. "Hi, hi! You ready to go?" Real Prue wondered enthusiastically.
"Wow, did you change your sweater?" Claire questioned in surprise as her eyes looked at Prue's now-black sweater.
"Yeah, black's more my color, don't you think?" Real Prue returned rhetorically before grabbing Claire's arm and pulling her out to the door that would lead them to the parking lot.
At Quake Piper flipped through the inventory records as she headed for the ringing phone that rested at the bar. "Thank you for calling Quake." Piper answered absentmindedly.
"Hi, Piper, it's me." 'Pink Prue' enthused.
Piper let her clipboard fall and she narrowed her eyes in annoyance. "What color?" She demanded.
"The pink one!" 'Pink Prue' perkily replied while Piper rolled her eyes dramatically. "The real Prue just left with Claire, look, I need you to get the Blue One to the Manor. We're meeting Prue there so we can get started on this training session." She explained casually.
"I've been thinking, have you guys thought about what happens after you separate Gabriel from his sword?" Piper asked.
'Pink Prue' shrugged though Piper couldn't see her. "Well, the book said she took away his sword and that was it, why?" She pointed out.
"Well, what if he still comes after you? He's a warlord, remember?" Piper went on pointedly.
"Once we get the sword, we'll destroy him. He would be crazy to take us on. Piper, don't worry. We have a plan and we have the power." 'Pink Prue' assured the younger sister.
Piper sighed softly. "I just don't want to lose you…" She explained and then looked confused for a moment. "… Any of you." Piper amended.
"You won't, I promise. Bye." 'Pink Prue' hung up and skipped out the office door.
Piper sighed again and went off to the kitchen in search of 'Blue Prue.' "The Pink…" Piper trailed off as she caught sight of 'Blue Prue' flirting with the chefs as she taste-tested their spaghetti. "… One just called and wants you to meet her." She finished uncertainly. "Prue, what are you doing?" Piper demanded, completely caught off guard by Prue's uncharacteristic actions.
'Blue Prue' licked her fingers and turned slightly back to one of the cooks with a seductive smile.
"Trying today's special…" She answered offhandedly. "I think it needs a teeny bit more parmesan." She remarked to the chef, licking her fingers again and tossing her hair over her shoulder.
"I'm sure it's fine since today's special is glazed short ribs…" Piper replied, shaking her head slightly as one of the chef's readily complied with Prue's demands.
'Blue Prue' lightly pushed his hand away. "Forget the parmesan because if anyone knows food, it's my Piper." She allowed, with a quick smile back at her younger sister. 'Blue Prue' turned back to the staring chef. "What's your specialty?" she asked with a sultry tone.
Piper quickly stepped in before the conversation could go any farther. "Alright, come on you guys, get to work, there you go, yeah, I know it's thrilling, alright." Piper ordered, pushing them away from her seductive sister.
"Yeah, I guess I shouldn't pet the help." 'Blue Prue' agreed, though her eyes followed them as they left.
Piper just laughed in disbelief. "What has gotten into you? Who has gotten into you because you're nothing like the real Prue."
"Actually, I'm exactly like the real Prue just the side that doesn't get to come out and play enough quite annoying considering who we're seeing and all. I'm the flip side of the corporate, conservative clone." 'Blue Prue' explained as she ate another piece of spaghetti.
"Alright, that's enough get out of my kitchen before my cook's overheat." Piper ordered, pushing 'Blue Prue' toward the door. 'Blue Prue' offered her a piece of spaghetti that Piper readily declined. "No, I don't want that. Nuh uh."
Meanwhile back at the Auction House 'Pink Prue' was about to leave the office when she was stopped by Naruto. ''There you are. Where have you been?'' 'Pink Prue' demanded.
''Sorry, I've been doing some thinking about how that sword absorbed my energy. It feels familiar sort of like my Senjutsu and it reminds me of this one world with cursed fruit. These cursed fruit were born from a tree that was mutated from the very tree responsible for my power in the first place so I'm thinking it might also be a mutation of sorts.'' he said as he stepped aside to reveal who he brought.
'Pink Prue' was surprised by the beauty of the woman. She was fairly tall woman with a remarkably curvaceous-figure and well-endowed breasts with long waist-length raven hair usually tied back in a high ponytail, peach skin, and light purple eyes. She was dressed in a small pink kimono and long purple stockings.
''Naruto has told me quite a bit about you Halliwell-san. I am Kosaka Shigure, weapon master of Ryouzanku and I look forward to working with you.'' the woman said with a slight bow.
With a grin Naruto added. ''We have back-up as you can see. I'll shushin all of us back to the mansion and wait for the others to return.'' he suggested. With that the three of them disappeared in a swirl of wind.
