Attention Readers: As the title states, these are story teasers. As in these will be the first chapter for stories that I have ideas for but have not written. If any of them really get your attention, let me know (or go to my page and vote on my poll if you don't want to review/PM). I will be posting a new one each day so you all have time to digest. Afterwards, I will update when I have new ideas for stories that I more than I little interested on running with. Additionally, I will revise chapters once the story has been posted so that you all will know if one is already up. Please enjoy and be sure to tell me what you think of the ideas.

An explosion shook the desired vicinity but none of the cloaked members paid it any mind, far too used to their blond comrade's antics when it came to art and explosives. Their opponents however skittered this way and that, losing face for a moment.

But that was all they needed, an opening and this one had worked like a charm. Now came for the infiltration. Eight of nine members of the elitist group divided into their usual pairs, the ninth member was better suited for reconnaissance then he was fighting, so he was currently absent. It didn't make a difference, though, this was how they operated. Each member filling the role they were given. Each pair was used for a specific part of this infiltration and retrieval mission.

Deidara and Akasuna no Sasori took the helm alongside Hidan and Kakuzu, both pairs were shoe-ins for the position of fending off the initial wave once it came and clearing a path for the remaining four. Four on the inside, four on the out.

Nagato and Konan would go straight for the objective while Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame acted as bodyguards – however unnecessary it was – keeping a clear, sure path. Most missions like this one were executed in this way no matter the size of their opponent. It was effective and got the job done quickly with minimal quandary. There were parts where it wasn't done exactly the same, but the target was never the exact same either. Sometimes it was a text, sometimes a weapon and sometimes a person. It all depended on what their superiors demanded.

The eight of them along with Zetsu made up a group called Akatsuki. A secret organization of the higher echelons of the government used for more covert and hush-hush projects. So secret that if they were caught – which was highly unlikely – they wouldn't drag down their superiors with them. They would be deemed a rogue or terrorist group with no connection to anyone. And no matter how most would perceive this layout, both sides were more than happy with it. Neither had to deal with or worry about the other.

The only catch was that should they die, it wouldn't even be so much as recorded. They gained no merits other than between each other. And none of them had family. This was because they had to be expendable, unattached to humanity and were already recorded dead the moment they joined. Each one an orphan in some way or another without any known family.

None except Itachi.

He had both parents and he had a little brother.

All alive.

All thinking he was long dead after having abandoned them.
