I don't own Naruto or Charmed, if I did, Piper wouldn't have gone through so much heart break.

Hey guys! So I know I haven't updated for a while, but if any of you read my AN on 'A Whole New World' then I actually said that I would be extremely busy with exams this month and therefore unable to update.

I'm planning on updating 'Shyness is NOT ALLOWED IN YOUR VOCABULARY' either later on today or maybe tomorrow, so keep your eyes peeled for that! I'm hoping to be back on track with my writing and I am beginning to start the latest chapter of 'Melting an Ice Queen' so hopefully that'll be done soon.

Anyway, another Tenten POV. No one discovers their powers in this chapter. I think I might have promised that someone would, but NEXT chapter I PROMISE a power will be revealed.

Onward with the story!


Tenten POV

Okay, so first of all I'd like to say one thing: the demons in the Book of Shadows are some of the freakiest creatures I've ever read about. Honestly, reading through this book has made me wonder what kind of freaks are born in the underworld.

Firstly, the fact that demons are ranked sounds really absurd to me. Who looks at a demon and thinks, 'Hey, I think they're a low ranked demon'? Maybe that's what I'm supposed to be able to do as a witch; tell the rank of a demon just by taking into account a few details.

Being that I'm not fighting in the final rounds, I have a lot of spare time on my hands to read and try to figure out what my first power will be. In all honesty I'll be happy with anything; as a ninja my speciality is weapons and, despite how much I love weapons, a power would bring more excitement into my fights, not to mention that I could possibly even beat Temari in a fight, like I've wanted to for years but never actually managed it.

A week since we'd travelled back to this time, I thought about what I could do to ease my boredom. Since none of the others had contacted me, I was going by the assumption that no one had discovered a power yet. Looking through the Book of Shadows earlier, I noticed that there were a large number of spells and something called scrying, which I decided I'd try today.

What I needed first was a crystal.

The amulet. A voice spoke. I looked around but couldn't see where it could have come from. Dismissing it for now, I looked at my amulet and saw that the mysterious voice was right; the triquentra was a crystal and so I took it from around my neck and let it hang from my hand. Sakura and Hinata had told us how the amulets would appear around our necks again if they lost physical contact with our bodies, so I made sure to keep the amulet securely in my hand.

Having a map of Konoha already out on the table, I walked to it and let the amulet swing for a while.

Who should I look for? I wondered.

Ino would most likely be at the flower shop or out with Shikamaru and Choji, so I didn't see the point in scrying for her. Temari would either be training or with her brothers, so that left Hinata or Sakura. I could guess where Hinata was; she would be training for the final rounds.

So that just left Sakura.

I took a deep breath and prayed that this worked as I held my amulet over the map and watched it sway slightly. I started with the more predictable places; Sakura's house, the library and training ground seven. After that, I moved my hand along other places until the amulet frantically swayed when I grew close to where the bath house was. My amulet dropped right on the location. Bingo.

I smirked and allowed myself to feel a brief accomplishment at successfully finding one of my comrades. Then I thought of where Sakura was and decided it would a good idea to join her at the bath house for a quick chat. After all, whoever suspected two kunoichi of having a polite conversation while bathing?

Grabbing a towel, I launched myself out of my house, anxious to get to the relaxing waters that seemed even more appealing the faster I approached.

When I got there, I undressed quickly and slipped into the water. I could see Sakura over the other side of the pool and quickly joined her.

"Hi" Sakura greeted with a slightly surprised look on her face.

"Hey," I said, "I scryed for you and it worked."

"Ah" Sakura said. "I haven't tried it yet."

I held up my amulet so that Sakura could see it through the steam and then pointed to Sakura's. "The amulets are crystals. We can use them to scry." I informed her and watched as she picked her own amulet up and analysed it.

"Have you spoken to anyone yet?" She asked me as I sank deeper into the water.

"Nope," I said, "have you?"

"No," Sakura admitted, "so I guess that means Hinata's still the only one with an active power."

I nodded my head and sunk deeper. Worrying about powers wasn't going to do me any good, but there was still the threat of the chunnin exam disaster hanging over our heads. I personally didn't want a repeat of last time; I wasn't ready to see the Third Hokage die again, especially since last time I was completely useless to the genjustsu cast over the arena.

"What are you thinking?" Sakura asked me with a curious brow raised.

I sighed and sat up in the water. "I just don't want to be useless this time, when Orochimaru strikes, I want to be able to help."

"Same," Sakura admitted and I looked over to her, confused, "last time, Gaara immobilised me and there was nothing I could do. I don't want Naruto and Sasuke to fight my battles for me this time."

"Hmmm," I looked over to Sakura with a teasing smirk, "you don't want your knight in shining armour to save you?" I asked her.

Sakura crossed her arms and pouted, but then she turned to look at me, mirroring my teasing smile. "Oh, I still want Sasuke, I just know how to go about it this time, and I'm not a crazy fangirl anymore. I don't want Sasuke for his looks, but for the person who he was after the war; the one who wasn't hell bent on revenge. I'm not infatuated with him anymore, much like Hinata isn't infatuated with Naruto, and I don't want him to fight my battles, but being his girlfriend isn't exactly a repulsing thought."

I nodded my head to what she was saying, "Yeah, I guess."

"Although, my first and foremost priority is this new legendary witch title that we've been given. Who knows how long it's going to be before crazy demons start to come after us?"

"I don't think they'll come after us until we all have activated our first power. There isn't enough magic present yet to alert them. Or, at least, that's what I'm hoping." I told her my theory and Sakura seemed to accept it.

"Okay, yeah, that makes sense. Just make sure not to let your guard down." Sakura warned me.

I nodded my head and then glanced at the clock through the mist. "It was almost time to have something to eat, so I began to stand and looked at Sakura one last time. "I'm off." I told her and turned to walk through the door to the changing rooms. "We should all arrange a meeting soon, even if none of us have activated our powers yet. Maybe the combined magic will trigger them, or at least give us an opportunity to train for a while."

"I find an excuse to meet up." Sakura promised me and then waved as I disappeared through the door.


So, what did you guys think? Like it? Dislike it? Let me know :)
