The Akatsuki's New Members

Sasuke and Naruto were looking at Naruto's trashed apartment. Someone had broken in again and destroyed his things. But it wasn't that that Naruto was worried about. He was worried about the note left on his wall in spray paint. The note that said, "You're lucky you weren't here, monster, or you would be dead right now." Naruto was crying on Sasuke's shoulder, of course. They had been together for a while now. They had decided to tell people of their relationship. They soon discovered that it was a bad idea. Even though all of their friends supported them and were overly happy for them, even Sakura, there were other people who took it as more basis to hate Naruto. To them it was like Naruto had taken away their chances to have an Uchiha heir. An heir with Sharingan. They blamed Naruto for 'tainting' the youngest Uchiha's mind.

"Suke, they're gonna get me. They're gonna kill me. Oh my god. I don't wanna die." Naruto was clutching Sasuke's shirt in his hands, still standing in the doorway of his home. Or, better, the remains of his home. Holes were in the walls, someone had taken a sledge hammer to his counter, a chainsaw to his furniture. Everything, everything, was ruined.

"Shhh. Hush now, Naruto. You know I won't let anything happen to you. Besides, I know you don't really need me to protect you. I know you can crush anyone that tried to hurt you in a matter of seconds." Sasuke tried to calm the blonde. Yes, he was so angry right now he was having trouble keeping his voice level. He was also having trouble not running around Kohona looking for anyone with chakra like the faint one left in Naruto's house from the attacker(s). But he couldn't do that now. It would have to wait. Right now he needed to comfort his love, his Naruto. "Come on, Naru. Let's go to Tsunade. We need to tell her." Sasuke waited for the blonde to nod his head before picking him up and running to the Hokage's office.

Sasuke knocked on her door, opening it when he heard a sighed "come in" from the other side. "Lady Hokage, someone has wrecked Naruto's home."

Tsunade hissed "shit" and stood up, walking over to Naruto where he was in Sasuke's arms. "You okay, kid?" She moved her gaze up to Sasuke's face. "How bad was it?"

Sasuke looked her in the eye and replied. "Totally trashed. Walls and counters smashed, furniture sawed apart, a death threat. And that's only what we saw from the front door." He looked down at Naruto's face somewhat surprised to see him asleep. 'His mind is probably worn out. I don't know how much more of this he can take." Sasuke thought to himself. "Tsunade, this has to stop. He's having fucking nightmares about them. About someone coming to get him, someone killing him. He can't handle this. It's too much, what with the Akatsuki after him too. Hell, they doubled their efforts. It seems like someone if trying to hurt him twenty-four/seven. He barely eats anymore. I think he's afraid someone will try to poison him. I don't know what to do. He can't take much more of this."

Tsunade stayed silent for a while before speaking. "Sasuke, I don't know what to do either."

A while later Sasuke carried a drowsy Naruto back to the Uchiha mansion. He brought him to their room, yes, their room. Even though neither of them fully moved out of their home, but they never spent a night in separate beds unless missions forced them to. They took turns sleeping at one another's house. Luckily, the night someone trashed Naruto's home they were at Sasuke's manor. He set Naruto on the bed and lay down next to him, spooning. He took the blanket and covered them and wrapped his arms around the blonde, holding him tight to his chest as if his arms could protect Naruto from everything bad.

The next morning Sasuke and Naruto were sitting at the dinner table drinking coffee. When they had woken up Naruto looked in Sasuke's eyes and told him they needed to talk. So Sasuke made coffee and there they were, Sasuke waiting for Naruto to talk and Naruto trying to figure out how to word his idea, his question.

Naruto folded his hands in front of him and took a deep breath. "Sasuke. Next time someone from the Akatsuki comes I'm asking to join." He didn't look up from his hands as he spoke.

Sasuke became fully enraged in seconds. He stood up, slamming his hands down on the table causing ripples in the coffee. "What?! You're just going to leave me?! What the hell?! They'll just try to kill you! You don't love me at all do you?!"

"Suke, just-" Naruto was cut off when he had to duck a coffee cup.

"You have the fucking nerve to call me that?! You don't have the right to call me 'Sasuke' right now! Damn! I'm not sure if I want you saying 'Uchiha'! Which is funny since I wanted it to be your last name, too! But looks like that plan is out the window since you're planning on fucking leaving me for a bunch of criminals that plan on killing you!"

"Listen to me! God! I'm not safe here! Can't you tell? I have a fucking murder attempt on me every other day! They want to kill me for Kyuubi's power but me and Kyuubi's chakra together is better than hers alone! And if I'm alive then they don't have to risk her turning on them or something. I have no other choice! Right now it's either die or that!" Naruto yelled.

"You're still leaving me! I can protect you! You don't have to run off-" Sasuke was cut off by Naruto.

"You can protect me while you're here, sure, but what happens when you're on a mission? And people will try to hurt you just to get to me! I can't let you be hurt because of me! Besides, I want you to come with me." Naruto mumbled the last part.

"WHAT?! You want me you join a fucking criminal organization?! Better yet, one with my crazy ass brother in it?!" Sasuke was throwing his hands in the air and staring at Naruto like he was a mad man.

"It's not like you haven't betrayed Kohona before! I'm giving up my fucking dream of become Hokage whereas you have nothing to lose! Joining would get you closer to your brother, closer to achieving your dream! You would become stronger and you would learn his weaknesses!" Naruto replied. His body would die if he stayed here and his soul would die if he left without Sasuke.

"I could lose you." Sasuke mumbled. "Seriously, Naruto, they could kill us if they wanted at any time. Neither of us is strong enough to stop them. I know it's been bad lately but I still don't think we should do this."

"Sasuke someone can be rigging a bomb to my house right now! You don't realize the danger I'm in! Hell, the danger you're in! Do you have any idea how many death threats I've gotten this week? Ten! Fucking ten! I can't stand this any more! I can't deal with having everyone trying to kill me! At least if I join the Akatsuki it'll be a few less people trying to kill me. We'll be safer there. And useful after training. With your Sharingan and Kyuubi and the way we fight so well together it would be in their favor to accept us. Especially after they lost Zetsu, Kakuzu, and Hidan (A/N: Sorry 'bout that. I just kinda killed of the characters I knew I wouldn't use much in this story. I have nothing against them but eh, they're not my favorite…so I killed them…heh. ;) during that big attack they on Kohona they need more people with power, or in our case the potential for power." Naruto stood up and stumbled over to Sasuke and dropped to his knees, hugging Sasuke's legs. "Please Sasuke. Please. I need you and I need to know that we'll be safe."

Sasuke stared down at his blonde, his love. He suddenly realized just how much danger Naruto was in here, in his own village. If the Akatsuki were to accept them they would be safer. No one knew where they were positioned, so no one could possibly attack them. No members of the Akatsuki would harm them unless their leader told them to and Sasuke doubted the guy would care enough to do that unless he thought they were some sort of spies or something but he would only be able to tell that with time and by then they would have gotten stronger and would have completed missions for him, proving their loyalty. Sure, he would be leaving some things but he would also be gaining some. His love would be safer, if not completely safe, and he would gain access to Itachi. He would show hate towards him but he wouldn't fight him. Not right off the bat anyway. Maybe a few years later when he knew everything about Itachi's fighting style and when Sasuke knew he and Naruto could make a safe escape to somewhere else if needed since their leader would probably be pretty pissed that he had killed a valued member. So, as much as Sasuke's mind was screaming at him to just say no and go back to living a normal life he knelt down and kissed Naruto on the head. "Okay. Okay." He said as he wrapped his arms around a crying Naruto, hugging him close.

That day they talked things through and packed two bags with their things in it because they knew that if the Akatsuki came and accepted them, they wouldn't have much time to pack. They wrote letters to their friends for when they left. Then they waited. It had been to weeks since the Akatsuki's last attempt to take Naruto. They were expected soon. Sasuke and Naruto went back to life normally, waiting for the day they would appear and hopefully solve their problems. They gave no hints to their friends. For if they did and someone caught on to what they planned to do, they would be in big trouble and Naruto's life would be a risk.

Then, finally, that fateful day arrived. It was at night and silent. Deidara, Tobi, Sasori, and Itachi came for Naruto at the Uchiha manor. The Akatsuki members faced Naruto and Sasuke. "Come with us willingly, Naruto. There's no need for you to be hurt." Sasori said blandly.

Naruto took a deep breath and spoke. "I plan to come willingly. We wish to join you. Not to have Kyuubi extracted but I wish to be trained and serve the Akatsuki leader." He said with his head bowed.

Sasuke guessed they were shocked by this. He had to guess since Itachi and Sasori were stoic and Tobi was wearing a mask but Deidara's eyes were wide.

"What is this 'we wish to join you'?" Sasori asked, the others yet to speak.

Sasuke spoke up. "Three of your members are dead. You need people with power. Or with the potential for power. I have the Sharingan and Naruto has Kyuubi. We wish to join you and to serve your leader."

Tobi, the member wearing the mask, bounded up to Naruto a hugged him. Everyone watched with wide eyes. Even Itachi and Sasori. "Uh…" escaped from Naruto's mouth.

"Tobi says we'll be great friends! Naruto is way more fun then any of them!" Tobi shouted before running back to the other side of the room.

"Tobi, no one said that he would be joining us." Itachi spoke to Tobi then turned his attention to Naruto. "I assume you'll refuse to come quietly if we deny Sasuke?"

"Yes." Came Naruto's quick reply.

Itachi and Sasori exchanged a glance before Sasori turned to Naruto and Sasuke. "We shall leave and discuss this offer with our leader. We shall be back by the end of the week to either take you both back to base to join us or to just take Naruto and kill him for Kyuubi. Understood?"

Sasuke and Naruto mumbled "yes".

"Farewell, little brother." Itachi said before a breeze was felt by Naruto and Sasuke and the Akatsuki members disappeared.

"I guess we'll have to wait and see and hope for the best. Let's go to bed, Naru." Sasuke and Naruto walked back to bed and fell asleep thinking of the future.
