* Tama's POV *

It took time to register what Konan and Pein have said. I locked myself away for weeks, Akira being the only one I could talk to. I found it hard to believe that I had different parents then her but maybe that's why they were so harsh on my sister and me. I started to think of all the things that made me different from Akira and the pieces started to fit. Konan and Pein are my real parents.

"I need to talk to Konan," I asked Pein when I was ready to come out of my room.

He nodded and led me from his office to a secret room. There she laid on the bed covered in bandages. I moved closer slowly, still unsure how I should act about this parents are alive thing. Pein left us to be alone.

"Tama," Konan's voice was soft "What do I owe this pleasure."

"What happened?"

"My opponent was stronger than I had planned for," she smiled "Is there something that you need?"

"I've been in the Akatsuki for two years and I want..." I trailed off not sure if it was right to even ask her.

"You want to go back to Konoha, right?"

I shook my head "I want to go to Orochimaru."

She sat up wincing at the pain in her body "Why would you want to do that?"

"Sasuke."

"Sasuke? Sasuke Uchiha?" she asked stunned staring at me then relaxed back into bed "Did you fall in love with the young Uchiha?"

"Yes. We were friends for years before I was dragged into this Akatsuki mess and I really miss him."

"Let me see what I can do. Though you'll have to wait until I'm all healed."

"I'll wait."
