Uhm, I also realize that Sasori and Tobi weren't in the Akatsuki at the same time since Tobi wears Sasori's ring. Or at least I think so…I haven't really gotten that far. But, quite frankly, I DON'T GIVE A DAMN! ;) If Sasori wasn't there who'd be Deidara's seme? T.T I am adding another chapter since…even though I got NO reviews (ohmygod I'm uberly sad)…I got two alerts. So…yeah. :)Well, sorry, this chapter SUCKS. I hate it. But if I am to continue it would have had to happen sooner or later. :)

The Akatsuki's New Members

Akatsuki Base.

Itachi, Sasori, and Deidara were in Leader's office telling him about how their mission went and the kitsune's offer. At first Leader was fairly pissed that they came back empty handed but when they told him of the proposition he calmed down. "Itachi," came Leader's cool voice.

"Yes, Leader?" Itachi replied calmly.

"What do you think of the two joining? I mean one of them is your younger brother. Do you think we would have problems with him?" Leader was wondering if they were told to do this by higher ups but he highly doubted that they would choose them two if they wanted to do an infiltration mission. He was also pondering how little Sasuke Uchiha would react to his brother's presence. Surely he would try attacking him or something. I mean it was the same man that killed his family.

"My younger brother is foolish. He'd surely get himself killed by insulting one of the members or while on a mission. But if he feels he should follow the kitsune I see no reason to stop him. He would make things more interesting for me around here." Itachi was also wondering his brother. 'What are his reasons for coming? Surely not just to protect his little Naru. Maybe he feels he needs to be closer to me in order to defeat me. Well, he does need to get stronger and what better place to do that than at a place where every member is exceptionally strong?'

"Do you feel that he could be useful? He and the kitsune are weak now but if we were to train them…well, I know the kitsune would become powerful but I have no knowledge of your brother's capabilities. But if both were to succeed in becoming powerful and mastering their abilities, the fox chakra and the Sharingan, it'd help the Akatsuki greatly. Losing three members was hard on us but gaining two more would fix the strain we've been under. Keeping the boy alive is much better than extracting Kyuubi. There are less risks and the outcome of the boy mastering the control of Kyuubi could be great." Leader paused for a few seconds before speaking again. "Alright, I've come to a decision. At the end of the week you'll return to Kohona and bring them both back to base alive. Knock them out first for security purposes. We shall train them and they will become loyal Akatsuki members either my choice or threat. Itachi you will stay here for this mission. Hm. Sasori and Deidara, I believe you two can handle this mission quite easily. Any problems?"

"No Leader."

Itachi, in need of some reflection time, headed towards his room. Opening his door he saw the deep red color of his walls. He remembered when the Akatsuki chose this base as their new one. All of the rooms were painted various colors. When choosing his room, he picked the one with the crimson paint. It just happened to be the largest bedroom of them all. Deidara thought that he and Sasori should have the biggest room since they had twice the stuff. Itachi didn't say a word, just kicked his ass into next week. Deidara hadn't made a comment about it since. He sighed at the memory and walked to his mahogany desk. He took off his cloak, revealing a black fishnet shirt and plain black pants, and set it on the desk before walking to his bed. He laid back on the black silk comforter. His eyes slid shut as he thought back.

Kohona.

"Sasuke…" Naruto whined. Sasuke groaned. He understood what life would be like if they were accepted by the Akatsuki. He was faintly worried that someone would either hurt or, worse, taking a liking to Naruto. The last thing he needed was some missing-nin trying to rape Naruto. Life as an Akatsuki member would be hard. The training would be rough and the missions would be difficult. Then there was his brother. He would have to gain some major self-control in order to be in the same place as the murderer for any length of time. Naruto was currently freaking out over whether or not he should bring ramen. Sasuke found it mildly ridiculous. He wasn't sure if he should laugh or take him seriously. I mean there they were, packing and preparing to become missing-nin, and Naruto was worrying ramen.

"Naruto, this is serious. Bring whatever is necessary. They probably go to neighboring villages and get food. You won't need to bring any with you. Have you even thought about what life would be like?"

Naruto stared at him for a little before answering. "Well, yeah. I have…sort of. Uhm…Sasuke…are you sure you should come?" Naruto had been losing sleep over this subject. He knew full well that he had to go. It was a life or death matter for him. But Sasuke didn't. He was well liked by the villagers, despite his betrayal. He hadn't any real reason to go and risk his life.

"Are you trying to say that you don't want me to come? Don't want me? Tell me, Naru. Tell me that you don't want me anymore and I'll stay." Naruto sighed. It was so like Sasuke to think too much into things. He hadn't even meant the question in that manner.

"No, Sasuke. I mean you really don't have to do this. You could have a perfectly fine life here."

Sasuke's black eyes bored into his. "Are you actually implying that you think I could be relatively happy without you?"

"Sasuke I'm just thinking of you! I want you to be happy. To live an easy life."

"I'll be happy as long as you are with me. And who ever said I wanted things easy? I love a good challenge." Naruto smirked and stalked towards the man, pushing him against the wall and kissing him deeply.

:Time Skip :o …End of week:

"Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto. It's time to come with us." Sasori, the red haired puppet said somewhat gravely.

Deidara chuckled. "No need to be so serious, un!" Sasori just rolled his eyes.

Sasuke turned to Naruto. "You're ready?" He asked smiling softly.

"Yeah, let's go." Naruto said before turning to the Akatsuki members. "So...uhm…how are we doing this?"

Deidara chuckled again but this time it was a dark, evil one that had the two boys worried. "Sorry fellows…" Sasori and Deidara suddenly appeared behind Sasuke and Naruto. "But, you won't be awake on this trip." He finished as they hit the back of their necks.

"Should have seen this coming…" Sasuke thought as his eyes closed and his mind blanked.

Trip to base/base.

"Sasoriiiiii…" Deidara was whining again. He had started whining at the beginning of the trip. He was terribly upset that he had to carry the Uchiha. He hated Uchihas. Well…mainly Itachi. He didn't really know this one but still… Besides the little kitsune boy was waaayy cuter, un! "Please switch with me!"

"UGH. Fine. Here." He threw, yes threw, Naruto to Deidara. He ended up throwing Sasuke on the ground in order to catch the fox.

"Heh…oops, un." He said as he looked at Sasuke's body on the ground. It was laying in a rather odd position.

"Let's go already." Sasori said as he picked up Sasuke.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

"Ugh, these brats were so heavy!" Deidara complained as he set Naruto down in the base.

Everyone was staring at the two unconscious boys. Itachi was the first to leave after he got a good look at the two boys that he loved the most. Sasori and Deidara left soon after, heading towards their room. Tobi followed Deidara only to have a door slammed in his face. Kisame left after mumbling something about Itachi's obsession with little boys being almost as bad as Orochimaru's. Konan giggled and said how cute the kit was and left. Pein sighed and stayed, waiting for them to awaken.

Uh…yah…kinda short…maybe? :p
