A/N: So someone who shall remain nameless recently sent me a pm and told me in a not so polite way get off my lazy butt and type. So this happened. Finally we get to see Madara's allies. Enjoy.

The flashes from the cameras practically blinded me as I kept on a pleasant smile for everyone. Apparently many people were naively happy for Madara Uchiha's return. Well it wasn't really his return that everyone was excited about. Everyone seemed far more interested in Itachi and me. Why you ask? Because until a few days ago Madara was never married and had no children. Then we popped up out of the blue.

The demon was used to being in the limelight. He answered questions smoothly and gave answers without having to think too much. But only a few questions were thrown at him. Most of them seemed directed at us. And the burning in my throat was still strong. Madara refused to let me drink blood.

"So both of you are still in school?" Someone asked.

"Yes." My brother had answered. "I"m attending university while my brother is in highschool."

"Sasuke, how is public school for you so far?" Another asked me.

"A lot better than being homeschooled." I responded a little nervously. "It's nice being around people my age."

"Is it great being the famous kid on campus?" the asked.

" The attention is pretty annoying actually. I'm not a big fan of people looking at me like I'm a zoo exhibit."

They took the hint that I really didn't want to be here. Thank fully.

"So will only one of your sons inherit your empire Madara?" One of them asked, he seemed a little out of place.

This male reporter seemed a bit young. He had long silver hair and glasses. THe way he observed us wasn't like the hunters. He didn't look for anything that wasn't abnormal. He seemed to know we weren't. I'll be keeping my eye on this one.

"No." Madara stated. "It all depends on them. If Itachi and Sasuke decide they don't want to continure my legacy then so be it. I have a few employees I can trust my empire, as you call it, to. They are free to choose their own path just as I was. If only one of them wants to continue then fine. If they only want part of it, that is fine as well."

"Will you really be ok with giving your business to someone not related to you by blood?" He asked again.

"I only trust a few people." Madara stated. "They know who they are. They are practically family to me.

"Where is your lovely wife Madara?" A man with a scar across his face asked asked.

Looking at the demon I saw his expression change. It went from cofident ruler of the night to someone who has just gone through some major heartache.

"Mom's not around with us anymore." I told them in Madara's stead, my voice cracked a little towards the end. Something forced my voice to crack, so it was an act.

Now they all wanted to know what had happened.

"I think that is all I will answer." Madara stated, his confidence back. "I'm sure both of my boys have home work."

As he said that he placed a hand on our shoulders. It was an affectionate touch. Looking at him I could see a sense of pride. It wasn't a mask he was putting on for the sake of the cameras. It was the same look he wore when we trained with him. He was proud. That rare and genuine smile made me tear up. My own father had been extremely stoic and rather harsh. He never really smiled.

Madara when he saw the tears brushed them away as Itachi asked what was wrong. The blinding lights of the camera didn't even ruin this one family moment. That is until Madara looked annoyed and took us inside of the night club away from everyone. Once the door was closed he looked at me concerned.

"Do the cameras bother you Sasuke?" He asked as he kneeled down to my height.

"No." I told him. "Im not sure where the tears came from."

"I have no issue keeping the press away from you." He told me. "If you're not comfortable doing this it's ok."

"Madara I'm-"

He embraced me. When was the last time he had actually seemed fatherly to me? I think I was still a child the last time he embraced me in such a comforting manner.

"Do you have homework?" He asked as he let me go, he was back to his stirct self.

"No." I told him. "I worked on it during my free time."

"Then I think you need to meet your allies." He said to us. "Follow."

We walked right toward the basement.

"Madara there is something I wanted to inform you about." I said as he opened the door.

"What it is it?" He asked as he waited for us to enter.

"The Hyugas would like to meet with you."

"So they are here as well." Madara stated amused. "What do they want?"

"They want to fight back but aren't careless enough to cause chaos. They would like to be in your favor."

"You should have them come over then." Madara said from behind as we walked down the stairs. "Don't raise suspicion. Invite all of your little friends. Might be nice to fight along side Hiashi again."

I nodded my head. He was right behind my brother. I didn't need to necessarily answer him verbally. After the stairway you would see a hallway filled with doors. Most of these doors were simply private areas for dances but there were some that were used for completely different reasons. Honestly this basement oozed lust and smelled of sex. The burning in my throat became more apparent.

These areas always made my head spin. Madara was always strict. We didn't get to indulge in much unless he allowed it. Most of the time he didn't really let us indulge in anything until the threat (mostly hunters) were cleaned out of the area. I doubt we'll be rid of them anytime soon.

"Control your hormones Sasuke." Madara said as he stepped in front of me and took the lead. "You were just about to have an emotional break down not too long and now you suddenly want to bring a girl into your bed. Honestly you need to gain some form of control on your human emotions and demonic needs."

"Yes father." I responded as he opened the door at the end of the hall and let us enter.

There were a lot of people in here. There were a few familiar faces. Konan and Pain stood out the most to me. Then the faces of some of my classmates, Naruto, Sai, Karin, Suigetsu, and Jugo.

Konan and Pain were wearing long black cloaks with red clouds on them. Most of th people in the room wore those cloaks. There was a feral red haired man in the room who was without a doubt a demon. He didn't look like he wanted to be here. He didn't wear a cloak like the others. He actually wasn't wearing a cloak like the others. He was well dressed just like Madara. Looking closely at him I saw that he had a dog collar around his throat. Wonder what that could mean.

Most of the adults in the room were each sitting one what could be described as thrones that encircled one another. The largest one obviously reserved for Madara. There were a few empty seats as well. The "children" however were seated on the floor in front what I had to guess to be their demon. It was to show who controlled who. The demon always controlled their children.

The ones with the cloaks looked comfortable where they were. They belonged here without a doubt. The red haired demon looked a little out of place. The children did as well. For now I would ignore this.

Madara without any hesitation took his seat and ushered us to follow. Like the others we had planned to sit on the floor with the other children only to get yanked into standing.

Don't get me wrong. I have long since shed the innocence of a child. Same with my brother. I'm sure everyone in this room had blood on their hands as well. They call us children merely because most of them have walked this earth long before any of us had been born.

"Both of you will sit by my sides." Madara stated coldly.

"They're both children." The red haired demon stated., his voice was deep and it sounded like he growled with each word. "They should be on the floor."

"I stated that your children had to be on the floor since they have not shown me any proof that they should be treated any better.." Madara stated cruelly. "Sasuke and Itachi are far above your own weaker children. They have survived much longer and carried out orders to even save one of yours if I remember correctly Kyuubi."

So this was the demon named Kurama. Refusing to speak the demon's name was meant to show that Madara was his superior. It could also be seen as humiliating if it is in front of new guests. The Kyuubi growled at Madara's words, not liking what he was hearing.

"They're alot stronger than most children." Madara stated matter of factually. "They've even been able to kill an older demon before as well. They have more than enough right to sit amongst us. Itach take the right chair. Sasuke sit in the chair to my left."

Not wanting to really argue with the demon we did as we were told and sat right next to him.

The Kyuubi was no longer bored out of his mind. In fact he looked outraged but he said nothing. Only glared.

"Now then I believe a few introductions are in order." Madara said to everyone in the room. "Itachi. Sasuke. Forgive me but I need you both to stand up."

Honestly make up your mind, I thought to myself as I stood up. Madara stood up with us.

"These two are children born of my blood." Madara stated in a commanding tone. "The eldest is Itachi and the younger is Sasuke. They will sit among the adults because they equal most if not all of you in skill. Should either show that they still need to be treated as a child then I will do so. As long as they sit by my side they are your superiors as well. Their orders are law but do not counter my own. If you see them sitting before me like the rest of the children then you will see them as equals. If you see them standing behind me you may see them as subordinates. Just because they are of my flesh does not mean they will be treated any different. If anything they will be treated much more coldly. Now. Give a bow to our newest additions."

Everyone now stood from there chairs and bowed their heads. My classmates stayed on the floor and bowed on their knees. I have to admit, seeing them actually bow in front of us like this was nice. I'm used to following orders and bowing in front of my own master. Normally Itachi and I are the subordinates doing all the dirty work. This was definitely a nice change.

"You may all raise your heads and take your seats." Madara told them, he held his hand out indicating Itachi and I should stay standing.

Once the others were seated Madara put his hand down. Itachi and I took our seats. Madara sat down last.

"The red haired demon to your left Sasuke is the Kyuubi." Madara informed us. "His name is Kurama. Though you shouldn't call him by name right now keep it in your mind. If you mess up you will be on equal footing with him and therefore have to call him by name. For now he is your subordinate. The two children at his feet are Naruto and Karin Uzumaki. You both saved the girl not too long ago from the snake."

She wasn't the only one actually. I'm pretty sure Suigetsu and Jugo were also caught there. Why did I only recognize Jugo before?

"You both already know Pain and Konan since they have been raising you whenever I couldn't." Madara continued. "They are part of a group I like to call Akatsuki. Most of them are survivors of the first witch hunt that happened in Konoha back before even your parents were born. After they had lost any hope of ever entering the gates of heaven their souls called for me and I gladly answered. Each of them are actual witches except for one. They are all also put into pairs of two."

I raised a questioning eyebrow at Madara wondering which one he was refering to.

"The red head with wavy hair is Sasori." Madara explained. "Although Sai belongs to Kyuubi he lives with Sasori. Sai looks nothing like either Naruto or Karin. In legal documents Sai is officially adopted by Sasori. Which is why you see him seated in front of Sasori rather than Kyuubi. Sasori likes to make inanimate objects come to life as well making him a very hard opponent to fight. No one ever sees him when they die by his hands"

As a demonstration Sasori took out a small puppet with no strings and made it stand near Sai. The little thing made it's way to me and jumped into my lap. It gave a small bow and attempted to jump into Madara's lap. Madara in response threw the little puppet back at Sasori who caught with no problem.

The blonde man next to Sasori was snickering.

"The laughing fool next to Sasori is Deidara." Madara continued. "All he knows how to do is blow things up with his magic."

"Hey." Deidara said annoyed. "You act like that's a bad thing. My explosions are-"

"Don't interrupt me again Deidara or I'll have one of my boys cut out your tongue." Madara told him in an annoyed tone. "He is partnered to Sasori and therefore Sai's other guardian."

Deidara demonstrated his own magic by causing Sasori's little puppet to burst into little pieces. Sai looked amused while Sasori only glared at Deidara.

"The albino with the scythe behind him is Hidan." Madara explained. "He practices a form of magic that comes from the Jashinist religion. It resembles voodoo magic in the fact that it requires blood. Hidan unlike most of the others was never able to die from fatal wounds because of his devotion to his religion. However that didn't quite save him from needing the help of a demon."

Madara didn't look like he cared too much for Hidan. Well it might be because he is really durable. Or the fact that he followed a god. Whatever the reason Madara didn't allow Hidan to demonstrate his abilites.

"His partner is Kakuzu, the one with most of his face covered." Madara explaimed. "He is hard to kill like Hidan and works well with collecting money. He uses diverse forms of magic. He is very tactical and is very loyal. He does however have a temper that you both should be wary of. The reason he is parntered with Hidan is so that he can't kill anyone else when enraged."

Dark thick tendrils came out from Kakuzu's arm for a few brief seconds before they receded into his body.

"The blue skinned man is Kisame." Madara explained. "He is nearly as strong as a demon and can be very sadistic at times. He is somewhat related to Suigetsu who resides with him and also watches over Jugo. Both of whom you saved along with Karin. He also wields a special blade that you should never come into contact with."

"Pleasure to finally meet Madara's boys." Kisame said to us with a toothy grin that mirrored Suigetsu's.

Jugo offered a shy smile before turning to whisper something to Suigetsu. Now I rmemeber the giant. He was the only one concious when Orochimaru the great snake demon had been slaughtered. He thanked me and Itachi before we departed. Jugo had assured he would watch over Suigetsu and Karin until their masters came for them.

"The final member is Zestu." Madara explained pointing at the walking yinyang venus flytrap. "He is actually a being created from my will and the will of another. He is mostly around for survelience. If you ever see him do anything traitorous feel free to murder him,"

"Ha as if either of them could kill me." The black side said arrogantly.

"How cruel Madara." The white side said sadly.

Madara paid them no attention.

"They were all once human until they called out for me." Madara stated as he looked at the Akatsuki. "They each offered their souls to me in order to cheat death and live. As a result they no longer age and are actually very easy to heal. Over time they have lost their humanity and become demons. Similar to both of you. Over time like them you both will become less human and more demon. However you will always walk far above my beloved Akatsuki. These are the faces and names of your allies. Remember them well my beloved sons. We are counting on both of you to lead us to victory."

I eyed each of them and remembered the names that belonged to each person's face. I don't think Madara has ever called us beloved which made the word seem so foreign on his lips but I didn't mind too much.

I now know the enemy side. I now know my allies. I know my assigned goal. I know my personal target. Now I would just needed to carry out my assignments.

A/N: Tell me are these getting longer? o.o Noramally I just simply can't write anything too long. My mind wonders else where... Oh well. Liked something? Leave a review. Disliked something? Rant in a review. Got questions? Review or PM them to me. Thank you.
