A/N:I just wanna say Thanks to those who still read my fanfic. Here's the latest chapter of the story, Pardon for some slight violence along the way, but it's necessary. Another missing point from Prue's life was revealed and both of them were shock. Please Read and Review

ACT 10 SOMETHING FROM THE LEAF

As the four sisters fought in a fierce battle against the Ravenous subordinate, an unknown someone carefully watches from not so far but very concealed.

-----

Moments earlier in the Manor, Andy and Henry arrived to join the rest, they both checked on each other if all were alright. From the looks of things they really are. The only worry they have are the sisters.

"Any updates on my wife?" ask Henry

"Well nothing as of late" Leo replied

"I'm pretty sure they'll be fine" an exhausted Cole

Andy looks to her daughter, clinging to her loving grandpa. Leo catered his son who seems to be sleepy in this almost late hour. Ciel also the same she yawns and Victor holding her back tight.

"You should give yourself a rest little winky" Andy told Ciel

Cole pacing but all of a sudden stops and throws himself sitting in the nearest couch of the living room.

Kyle still on Billie, all of them were drained of energy and stressed out through all this demonic assaults.

When suddenly Ciel spoke in a sleepy voice "I see some feathers"

Victor and Andy stares around, Kyle wonders holding the half conscious Billie, Cole resting and breathing hard, Leo felt a little stressed out too as well as Henry. Victor just thought of Ciel as being so tired.

He told them "Guess she need some sleep in age like this a proper rest is advice" he also yawned

Wyatt already fell asleep in Leo's lap, Ciel too on Victor. "Gotta call it a night" added the former whitelighter.

"Guess you're right" Cole said

And in no time they fell suddenly asleep, the cause they all have is too much exhaustion and totally stressed out of the things that went through earlier. As the temptation of sleep goes on, they fell right through it, their bodies need some rest, all their senses are tired of all the defense and offense stuff. As if a euphoric scent is telling them to lay down and rest.

And in some place of the manor, where all of them are in the blind spot and won't see, a shadow figure in hoods positioned in a certain hand seal and suddenly sunk silently in the ground as if it were a ghost.

-----

Back to the Halliwells scene, through the unknown angle of a certain watcher. The hooded being felt a shrug and displayed a very fiendish smile.

"How easy for them to fall, just have to clear the lane and ho hindrances, I caught those rats right where I want them… hehehehehe, they have no idea of Genjutsu"

-----

As Kryox battles the Charmed Ones, the hidden being carefully makes his move slowly walking forward hiding within the bushes.

Prue jumps back dodging another fireball, Phoebe forwards for an attack doing simultaneous kicks, Kryox shielding his self with both hands against Phoebes' assault. He counters for a punch Phoebe avoided it as she duck and saw a little cue for an uppercut, thus hitting the warlord straight in his chin, pushing him a back, Prue appearing from nowhere as she did an air spin kick into Kryox jaw.

She held her kunai tight as her eyes stares at every direction, probably anticipating an attack.

Piper sprinkles her hand, as the clone Kryox blinks in and blinks out, Paige in a fighting stance, doing some nice foot work as she also ducks then orbs out, she call forth some stones to throw at Kryox. The evil warrior drew his sword, Piper tried to freeze him but he deflects, she tried her molecular combustion and he deflects again. Paige orbs out then orbs behind Kryox and quickly kicks him from behind, pushing the demon forward to Piper; the second witch delivered a rapid punch in his face, causing him to turn right side, Piper sprinkles her hands again inflicting some explosive pain on an off guard Kryox, the warlord was not entirely vanquish but wounded.

Prue and Phoebe continued their attack on Kryox. The third witch manage to give him several chops and kicks, while Prue slashes her kunai, but Kryox was able to duck and avoid thus slicing a little skin and cloth of him, yet he felt an ounce of pain. Prue now uses her TK hurling him violently across the ground.

After that she turns to Piper and Paige, and saw the clone she threw two kunai piercing the clones back, Piper consecutively bursting him pushing him further backward, Paige orbs a stone a size of a basketball dropping right into the clones chest. Prue uses her TK again and threw him fiercely into the stone wall.

The four sister stood together, unknown to them they let their guard down by thinking the clone is done and Kryox kneeling in the ground just some few meters away, holding his left bleeding arm.

"I think this is the final big vanquish" Piper concluded

"That's what I'm about to say" replied Phoebe

Prue said "shall we"

As they turned their eyes on Kryox, a violent force hurled them out.

"I'm not this stupid to be taken for granted or to die so easily" said an angry Kryox.

All four Halliwells in a bad landing, but the first witch somehow kept her balance, she had her foot on the ground. Piper, Phoebe and Paige trying to get up, while feeling the aches in their back.

Kryox will take every chance he can get and he won't let the witches recover, he threw at least five fireballs.

"Die!!!! Die!!!! Be gone forever and burn you witches!!!!!!"

Prue deflecting those fireballs with her TK

Kryox blinks out. Piper just stood up, pulling Phoebe and Prue pulling up Paige.

"Where's he?" ask Paige

"Be careful.. Alright he could come from anywhere?" Prue told them

"Or he could come from behind" Phoebe suspected

Kryox blinks in, and threw his projectile, all that the witches can do is duck, unfortunately the fireball caught a tiny portion of Pipers' right shoulder.

"Piper!!!" all three sisters screamed

Prue uses her TK, Kryox uses his as well, two transparent force colliding at each other, hurling both of them, but Prue quickly rolls and got up running towards the warlock, Kryox was also assertive he threw another fireball at Prue.

"Fireball!!!" shouts Paige.

A bluish orb appeared into the witchlighters' hand then changes into a fireball and she threw it back at Kryox. The warlord deflected it.

"Paige, heal Piper first" ordered the eldest. Paige did as she was told.

"Let's get this over with and there hasn't to be a next time it all ends here and right now and you must be vanquish" Prue dead serious

"Is that a warning or a bluff?" replied Kryox

"No, it's not, it's a fact"

"And you bet it's for real to feel" added Phoebe

Prue vanishes in a flash, Phoebe runs directly towards their foe.

Kryox figured out what they're trying to pull "I know what you're thinking, but not this time" he whispered

He called forth a sword in his right arm aiming to slice Phoebe, the third witch nearing him, slides down to the ground and scratching her left foot, making a circle of dust and smokes distracting Kryox, as she quickly roll to her right and kick the sword out of the warlocks' hand.

Because of the dust and a tiny puff of smoke that distracted Kryox, he was caught off guard and unknown to him Phoebe drop a tiny smoke bomb for further distraction.

Before Kryox could regain his pose, he felt another pain into his body, only to find out Phoebe's dagger impaled into his stomachs' left portion. And as the smokes subside another figure came to presence in the form of Prue.

The first witch stood still her eyes looks down; Kryox followed her gaze, feeling another stinging pain in his body as he saw four kunai deeply stab in his chest. And another one followed transporting in an orb landing deep into the right portion of his abdomen.

Phoebe stood up beside Prue, both of them let loose a high kick on Kryox hurling him aback aggressively. The first and the third witch quickly went to Piper and Paige.

Piper stood up and waves her left hand twice inflicting another stinging ache.

"There you are, that's from me." Piper in her sarcastic tone

"Can't let my sisters take all the royalties, at least I should be included" she added.

The almost beaten warlord sitting helplessly unto the ground, he's already too weak to flee, and he can't flee either because Piper froze his body but unfroze his head.

Prue, Piper, Phoebe, Paige standing with authority and power in front of the fallen Kryox. The warlock screeching in intense pain as he looks the sisters with hatred as if he wants to strike back but he can't.

"Well your not just been stab and wounded, you see those blades sting as well" the eldest witch informed

"They were dip in potions that were really made just for you" added the second witch

"Yeah, especially for you so be thankful" mocks the third witch

"And all of that we work hard to Vanquish you" (smirks) concluded the fourth witch

They made eyes contacts Prue started the first few words and the rest followed;

"The Power of Four, The Charmed Ones Call

Vanquish this Evil once and for All"

They chanted it twice. Kryox screamed in agony as he was consumed by flame

"SAYONARA" The Charmed Ones said

And just that the Warlord entirely vanquished.

As the eldest witch, her eyes sharpened, she gazes around and she was alarmed, she thought "That chakra, it seems familiar, but why here?"

"Good, dead and Gone" emphasized Piper

Paige nods, Phoebe sighs as she wipes her forehead ridding some sweat. While Prue stood wondering sensing some presence she thought was familiar but can't actually tell. Piper notices her eldest sister and she quickly came to her.

"Hey, it's over, we won again, don't tell me there's.." Piper was startled as Prue's facial expression changes to suspicion.

"Prue, anything wrong?" ask Paige

The first witch still gazing around raises her head unto every angle til she made a 360 sight seeing "I don't know. I felt some chakra around here"

Her three youngest siblings were surprised. Phoebes' face seemed like a joke "Chakra.. as in from Ninjas.. wooaa.. you gotta be kidding me"

Prue and Phoebe crossed eyes the eldest said "No I'm not, this feel so strange, and I know what I feel, it's a chakra signature, but I just can't explain how and in here"

Piper still wondering "You're the only one around here who was turned into a Ninja just like your little friends from Konoha.. unless"

Prue, Phoebe and Paige set their eyes on Piper and the third witch spoke with her suspecting point "Unless there's another Ninja from that world who came into ours"

All of a sudden their place trembles, an earthquake occurs, shaking the ground projecting a roaring sound.

"Whoahh, what the hell is this?" Piper felt shock

"O my God.." quips Paige

Prue quickly noticed what's happening and she joined both her hands and made a tiger hand seal performing a Ninja Magic "Genjutsu release"

Piper, Phoebe and Paige almost losing their balance as they cling to each other, suddenly their surrounding changes back to normal, but the feel of sudden shock sent them off guard unknowingly a speeding shuriken and kunai in large number raining towards them in different angles, Prue notices it and uses her TK quickly but only those she can see then she stunts to dodge and deflected some with her own kunai, her sisters was fortunate to duck enough. Paige happens to orb out and orbs in again but fell to the ground.

After the tremor subside, Prue found herself in a defensive kneeling position, While Piper and the two others lay flat on their stomach unto the ground, they try to rise up. And a drip of blood started to veil the land and another drops follow, Prue, Piper, Phoebe and Paige even though they dodge a sure death, it didn't save them from getting hit. All four of them slit and slashed, feeling the slice of the blade.

"Are you all right?" ask a concerned Prue

"What the hell was that?" Phoebe with slits in her left arms

Piper stood up and saw a cut on her right thighs "O my god!!!" she exclaimed as she felt the hurt.

Meanwhile Paige had also her share her upper back was partially slit, torn clothes that reveal some reddish skin. "I didn't saw it coming, just barely orb out, it just happen so fast.

Prue was not that safe either, using her TK and deflecting some blades to save her sisters also cause her some wounds, which mostly came from her blind spot. Her left arm was slit and her right shoulder as well.

She turns to her youngest sister "Paige can you use your healing powers?"

"I think so" An aching Paige.

Prue felt her mother instinct through her sisters, seeing them reminds her another bloody memories from the Ninja World. As she saw their wounds she was alarmed and she looks behind her to see some of the fallen shurikens and kunais she deflected or the ones that's wounded them all.

She thought to herself "Oh no, can't be.. . if they were deep in poison.. no, no,.." She turns back, looks at her sisters as if they are slowly weakening.

She stood up with vigor, looking mostly at the shadow regions "Show yourself you BASTARD!!!!" with that said she rapidly through her kunai in the woods and it made a scratching sound from the trees, a flock of night birds flew away.

Meanwhile her sisters are trying to regain their composure, resisting the little pain they have right now.

"I hate the meaning of this" Piper asserts

"Paige, orb them out now and leave" Prue orders

"And leave you here alone, I don't think so.." Piper replied

From nowhere about 16 meters from them comes a blurring flash then quickly cleared into a human form, wearing a dress familiar to Prue, a dress the same as the Jounin from Konoha, minus the flannel jacket. The person is revealed to be a man, yellow colored skin, with long punk style brown hair, he possess the face that you wont suspect as a lethal assassin, he wears the same sandals as the first witch, has a head protector in his head with four vertical lines drawn on it and in the middle was a scratchy line above the first four lines as if they were being mark out.

The man broke his silence "It's nice to see you again.. Prue.. Prue Halliwell"

The eldest was shocked, never she thought that she would see this man again and in her very own Charmed world. Her three sisters also wonder about this intruder who they just met.

"Why are you here? What do you want? AKUMU NAMI (Nightmare Wave)

Phoebe still holding her wounded arm "Don't tell this nice hottie is one of the black bad ninjas"

"You know this guy?" a curious Paige

Prue nods, her sibling standing behind her "Yeah……his an S-rank criminal Ninja from Konoha, who fled the village after killing numerous villagers and some feudal lords on other villages as well, he went to Amegakure (Hidden Rain Village) to hide but also did numerous crimes there" hearing those facts Piper was startled

"How flattering Prue, to know you shed some facts about me" Akumu said

Prue looks into his forehead protector and saw the Ame logo mark out. "It seems you also betrayed your second village too" Akumu smirks, the eldest continue "That forehead protector of yours means you have a connection or you're with AKATSUKI"

"Let's not discuss irrelevant things around here, what matters is now, What I need to have and to gain, I just want your cooperation"

"No you won't, and I'll make sure I'll kill you" Prue assured

"But he's not a demon, he's human.. we just can't" Paige reminded as she continue "Kill and punish the guilty, isn't it?"

The first witch cuts her out "No.. it's not about demons this time, it's a Ninja battle, a matter of Shinobi business, he wont hesitate to kill us, so I must get him first before he does, this time is to kill or be killed and I won't risk any of your lives" the eldest in a protective manner.

"Well in that case, let's get it done already" suggested Piper with a trembling leg.

"Hmmm.. Don't underestimate him, taking him down wont be like our typical demon bread and butter, stay alert" Prue warned them

Akumu started to make some few steps forward. "You know you should be thankful Prue, if it weren't for me, you won't be as a good warrior like what you're displaying right now and combining your hereditary Witch abilities with the Ninja Jutsus you acquired during your stay in Konoha, all was because of me."

Phoebe looks to Prue "What's he talking about..?" but she only saw a confuse eldest sister. She turns to Akumu "What do you mean it's because of you?"

The Ninja stop his walk then smirks "You thought you were accidentally brought in the Ninja world for unknown reasons, then those foolish Leaf (Konoha) nins (shortcut for Ninja/ also person in Japanese) told that you were found, floating in the seashore and almost dying, they too didn't know what happened then"

Prue started to think back to those times.

Akumu continues his flashback tale "It's because they are fools, they are on the hunt for my head, three Jounins plus four ANBU are hard to deal, I have to flee but unfortunately you were left out, I tried to kill you immediately to erase my tracks, but Genma (Konoha Jounin from Naruto) got in the way. (Smirks again) You see I was developing a special jutsu (technique) one that will grant me more power and to cross some worlds and dimension, until I learned and crossed yours, and saw a strange magic from it directing to your place"

All the Halliwells were shock about that story

The rogue Ninja still speaking "In the Ninja world, bounded by stupid rules that forbids others to learn special Jutsu that are dismiss as forbidden, I feel limited, I secretly trained myself for that, even learned some from Orochimaru-sama, in exchange of my loyal service. Until I came to a certain jutsu that allowed me to cross world, but with a very large living sacrifice (Evil grin) must be done in able to step into your world, I felt and saw a strange force, bearing just a little chakra but powerful indeed. It emanates right into your house, and as I observed and saw your ability, it excited me, and I believe you have a special bloodline when combined with my Ninja Arts will make me more supreme. As I exact my plan to kidnap you, an incident occurred a raging blue creature come bashing into your front door with a windy force. (All Hell Break Loose episode) I have to conceal myself though, I saw you and that woman (points to Piper) got hit as well as an old man who died. You were still alive, and I did some medical Ninjutsu to close some of your fatal wounds at least partially, then I took you to flee back into the Ninja world, but left an unknown corpse as a substitute for you, fortunately It was unnoticed and I got away clean, you were believed to be dead in your world"

Prue can't believe what she's hearing, are they really true she ask herself, but going back as far as she can remember on that incident she only remember saving an innocent right before Shax hit her with a blue energy ball. After that, the next thing she knew she woke up somewhere with almost wipeout memory and paralyzed from hips and below.

Her sisters felt a mixture of rage and sympathy, especially Piper, going back to that point of their lives is just reminding her so much pain.

"How dare you scummed creepy…" Piper let out her polite anger

Akumu looking straight to them "If I hadn't done that, Prue would be laying in her coffin by now, why don't you thank me instead, hmm, you see I made some studies about your kind about these Witches, I find them fascinating in some magical aspect, and Prue has the potential I want, when I had her back then, sweet victory was just an inch of grab, until the Konoha Ninjas went after me, and I have to lay low and hide, attacking you right there wont be easy as well, not when a Copy Ninja like Kakashi is with you and Orochimaru-samas' useless former student Anko"

Hearing Akumus' last four words the witch ninja reacted angrily "Don't even dare to call Anko useless, she's the one who took care of me!! I can't take you insulting her"

"Really!! (mocking tone) how pathetic? I can take on Anko but not Kakashi and Gai at the same time, even Jiraiya of the great Sannin was around guarding the Nine Tail kid, opportunity for me became elusive. But not this time"

"Oh.. I see, you should not be considered an S-Rank after all, you're just a coward preying on the weak but cold feet to face Kakashi-sensei" Prue retorts.

"Enough with the story telling, I already told you what you should know, you owe me the talents you have, and for that I demand you repay me a gratitude"

"Everything happens for a reason, the reason I was gone from my sisters to being in Konoha, living and learning from my second Life, second family, it was all for a reason, and to give you an example of that, is a reason you must be exterminated"

"Is that so, perhaps you're ego so strong just because you defeated these cheap demons, but a Shinobi like me, you better think more than twice if you value life especially their lives (Points to her sisters)" Akumu answered

"Oh no, that's it" Phoebe clutching her fist while a little flow of blood gush out of it.

"Phoebe, No!!! Stop" Prue yelled

The third witch didn't care about the warning she resisted the physical hurt she have right now her rage towards the Akumu fueled her impulse to attack as she run forward.

Meanwhile Akumu still walking approaching Phoebe when all of a sudden he runs to meet her, Prue also made a quick move to save her empath sister. Phoebe threw a quick kick, but Akumu just dodge and so fast she's by Phoebes' left side, the witch unguarded, things happened to her so fast, Akumu drew a kunai aiming to stab her neck, until Prue's kunai met his, the first witch quickly grab Phoebe by the waist as they both roll to avoid the ninjas' blade. Both Prue and Phoebe fell rolling to the ground as Prue jumps aback to her other sisters for defense.

Akumu stood still from his position looking at the Halliwells in crouching stance "Impressive, you really are a Ninja"

"And a witch as well" replied the eldest Halliwell

The Ninja stood straight he thought "Four against one" he sets his eyes on Piper, Paige, Prue and Phoebe. Looking at them very carefully in his mind "Kryox told me some information about their abilities and base from what I saw earlier it's quite true, one of them has healing abilities which makes her similar to a medical ninja, Prue and the sister who attack me earlier are more of a close range fighter while the other (Piper) is a mid to far range attacker and can even freeze time, I have to be cautious"

Piper don't wanna be kept waiting she told Prue "Are we just standing here or what, this is starting to bore me" still holding the pain in her right leg.

"Just take care of your wounds" Prue said

"It's just a scratch, I still have a hand to freeze and burst some…" Piper replied

Paige already healed herself turns to Phoebe then Piper and to Prue closing some of their wounds. Prue to Paige "Thanks, you all right now?"

"Yup, but my back still kills me" answers the fourth witch "But don't worry I'm ready for some action"

Akumu saw the blue orbs that healed the Halliwells earlier in his thoughts "So she's the medical assistant, in that case she should be the first one to go down"

The Halliwells stood their still and made their stance preparing for an attack, Akumu made some few steps forward, both sides anticipating who would attack first.

The first witch broke the silence "All right this may look so easy but it's not, Piper you try to freeze him if you get a chance and Paige use your powers to attack as well but stay close to Piper for defense, you serve as our medic as well and Akumu would likely to hit you first, I will attack and Phoebe you back me up, just be careful and always keep your guard up, we're fighting not an ordinary Ninja, this guy can pull a lot of tricks"

"Ready when you are sis" Phoebe assured

A sinister smile displays on Akumus' face "The other three may not be Ninjas, yet their witch abilities are quite a hit, and Prue here will use both Jutsus and her traditional magic"

The winds started to blow as the leaves sway under the dark skies.. Prue runs forward so fast, Phoebe followed Piper and Paige standing in defense. Akumu runs forward in speed. The second witch can barely see but she focused her power to only freeze Akumu.

Prue jumps Phoebe levitates behind her, together they meet Akumu mid air, making their attack. Piper saw the three of them hovering and she thought that this is her chance, she wave her hand and froze Akumu, Phoebe delivers a kick and Prue slashes her kunai on the suspended shinobi.

"Yes!!! We got him" Piper reacted

When Prue and Phoebe landed on the ground, as well as Akumu, the two witches looks at the fallen Ninja, only to be surprise by a puff of smoke, Akumus' body turned into a log.

Prue was surprised "Kawarimi (body substitution technique)" she quickly look behind Piper and Paige and screamed "Piper, Paige come here now!!"

Unfortunately the time freezer and the witchlighter was unable to make their moves right before Prue warned them.

From nowhere a flash appeared behind Paige, right before she tries to orb out, she felt a cold steel piercing into her flesh coming from behind and another chop went into her nape. Piper was also caught off guard, as a string of metal wires entwined her thighs down to her legs and she was kick hard in the chest throwing her afar. Prue rush to save both sisters but saw Paige fell to her knees she moves so fast. Phoebe went after the second witch as Prue goes ahead for Akumu to save Paige. Another shower of kunai met her way she deflected them all with her TK then jumps at Paige grab her and they vanish in a blurring flash.

Phoebe hurrying towards Piper, tied with wires on the ground not in a good shape from the kick she had. As the third witch runs Akumu met her and made a roundhouse kick, the third witch duck then counters for a kick on Akumus' chest, but the ninja grab her right leg then morphs into a soil and engulfs Phoebe, pressing her hard, as she let out a scream "Ahhhhhr….rrhhhhhhh"

A crying Prue landed on the ground holding a severely wounded Paige, Drawing some blood in her lips coughing, Prue lay her flat on the ground, trying to close her wound with a handkerchief "Kyle, Kyle, Andy, Andy!!! Damn it!!!"

Akumu crouching in the trunk of the tress in an arrogant style "Don't worry I haven't hit a vital organ she's just bleeding and I broke some circuit flows of her nervous system, so she wont function well on her psychomotor abilities, but she still can hear and can see what's to come next" he grins

"You sick bastard!!!!" Prue enrage she turns to Piper laying on her chest crawling on the ground, Pipers' legs were bleeding the wires that tangled her had some half inch spikes that press right through her pants and her skin, her legs are really hurting.

Phoebe suppressed with a clay like object as she was nailed in the tree near to Piper and she can't move and she's also bleeding.

Akumu appeared beside a crawling Piper, and in no time impaled two Kunai on both her hands as if crucifying her on the soil.

An anguish cry from the second witch "Arrrrhhhhhhhh ahhhhhh"

"I was told that your hands are so bad and they deserved to be punish" mocks Akumu

Prue made her stance ready to assault her foe, but the evil Ninja puts her left hand behind Piper and two fingers in a gun position at the right side of Pipers' neck, Akumu gesture her right hand for a single tiger hand seal.

The first born witch was stopped, she knew that kind of pose, and she knows it must be a high level Jutsu, she hesitated for the sake of Pipers' safety

"What's the matter? You know what this means? Perhaps.. I will enjoy seeing you suffer from watching your sisters die!!!!! You may be witches but still humans indeed, sad to say they were not trained for this unlike you, so you better think of my offer" a threat from Akumu

"It's me you want right? So let them be, Let's settle this Ninja to Ninja" Prue sobs

"If you insist, but pardon for my rudeness before, I just made sure your audience remain silent throughout this battle, I hate cheerers"

Meanwhile, a strange thing is happening on Phoebe, as if she was seeing things the same as her premonition, but this one is totally shocking and wild, she can feel the intense horror being fed to her senses and empathic ability and the more terrified and paralyzed she turns to.

And now behold a fight Prue should win or it will mark them a sure end. A witch ninja against a pure ninja, each are equip with cunning tricks and a very lethal insane jutsus.

A/N : There you have it folks, I hope you enjoyed this chapter, the next one will surely be one hell of intense action, martials arts and magic. Please feel free to comment. Thanks !!!!
