Here it is!!! No lemons (yet ;D), but slight OroSasu and hints of ItaSasu (duh…)

The raven sped through the forest, easily concealing his chakra and getting closer to his goal completely undetected. Just a little further...Goddamnit I can't believe I'm doing this for a stupid fucking ring... But it was worth it; even Sasuke would admit that the Akatsuki Organization was far more powerful than Sound, and, with them on his side, he had unlimited resources along with great power. And hopefully I can stay in good favor with Orochimaru as well... Sure, his expectations may have been a bit high, but he was near certain that he could manipulate the sannin very much in his favor. Sex is all I really need for that, and it's not like he can imprison me.
Or could he? No... I could escape quite easily... His thoughts returned to the earlier encounter with Pein; simple chakra restraints and he had been near helpless. Itachi, what have I done? Now there was no one to save him. It was doubtful that Pein even knew where the lair was, and even if he did, why should he get him back? Then, of course, Itachi had no idea where he had gone off to. I definitely pity Kisame for having to tell him...Unfortunately, I bet he'll just make the correct assumption that I've returned to Orochimaru. The raven tried to picture the violent outburst that was bound to occur and shuddered; that anger was all for him.
Sasuke arrived at the underground lair and entered easily without discovery. I may as well have some fun with this... He noticed a new member coming his way and grabbed the young man roughly, easily pinning him against the wall. "Listen closely. You will enter the main chamber and alert Orochimaru-sama that he has a very important visitor. You will not disclose anything about my appearance or any conclusions you may have, no matter what he asks you. Got it?" he hissed lowly in the boy's ear; the pathetic whelp was now trembling uncontrollably, but nodded quickly and sprinted away. Wow... Things sure have taken a turn for the worse around here...
He listened closely, waiting for his presence to be announced in the next room, where the snake-sannin was bound to be sitting on his throne of sorts and torturing his idiotic informants; it was a game he had played many times. The raven was usually the so-called "trump card" in the game; it was hilarious to watch the ambassadors try to keep a straight face (and hide their erections) as he was either brutally fucked or gave a delicious blow to his master... His cue arrived as he heard a shout from the other room.
"What the fuck do you mean, 'a very important visitor'? Are you telling me someone got in here undetected and you just decided to follow his orders above mine?!" Orochimaru was furious; everything had fallen apart after the day Sasuke left. And fuck it's only been a few days... What hell have I been damned to now?
The Uchiha entered the room, appearing dead center in his favorite fashion; an intertwining menagerie of snakes that retreated to the corners of the room as he stood firm, staring straight into the snakeman's eyes. "What can I say, Orochimaru-sama; I can be quite persuasive when I feel like it..." So he's happy to see me... The snake-sannin was gazing at him in pure awe, his sickeningly long tongue moving to lick his lips absent-mindedly. Not to mention the reactions of his nether regions...
Sasuke waited a few moments for his former sensei to collect himself, and eventually he did. The snake stood up and moved forward a bit, taking in every detail that he had been dreaming of for every moment of their separation. His eyes narrowed slightly at the Akatsuki cloak, which prompted him to speak, "So you've betrayed me officially now? I am quite hurt, Sasuke-kun... You remain my most favorite student."
He openly admits his vulnerability... Is that supposed to be a testimony to his true feelings of abandonment and pain? "... I apologize for my indiscretion, Master, but I assure you I am here to procure a favorable, long-lasting relationship that will undoubtedly be advantageous to us both." The raven gave a low bow, keeping his head down to wait for the other's response.
A treaty? No... He would have just come out with it if that was the case. So I wonder... "Master? Well, that's more like it..." He descended a few steps so that he was standing about a foot away from the Uchiha, and lifted a hand to brush the pale cheek, taking in his familiar scent simultaneously. "God... My pet, I have missed your company... Now what is it that you truly desire of me? I know that you will not stay, so you may as well reveal your intentions." But if only he would... Living without him is my hell. Actually, he's what I've been living for all along, in a sense; as soon as I discovered his existence I found my will to live that was nearly broken.
The raven smiled a bit bitterly; he too was regretting the outcome of all this. I'm so damn sick of this mess... I want it to all be over so I can finally be at peace with a single person... But deep down he knew there was no way he could do that. After a while people got predictable and boring; it was a fact of life. But Itachi… Fuck, I need to stop thinking about him. "As you wish. I have come to reclaim a certain object in your possession that rightly belongs to the Akatsuki organization, of which I am now a part." The snake nodded knowingly, but didn't say anything. "... I implore you to consider a deal so that I may procure your Ring of Void; I can stay for three days at most."
Three days? Hmmm... That's 72 hours of fun... "Oh, that's all? Well, I think we can come up with some sort of exchange... And you spoke of a long-term arrangement as well?" So I may not be so lonely after all... I could probably learn to live off a good fuck every month or so... Yes, I think this could all work out quite in my favor.
"Yes. Truthfully, Akatsuki wants nothing to do with you, but I know your resources quite intimately, and therefore I am fairly aware of what exactly you are capable of; I want you on my side." Sasuke bridged the gap between them and rested his hand on the snake-sannin's shoulder. "I will give you my loyalty as well, of course, and I'm sure you can guess what benefits are included with-" The raven was silenced as a long tongue was shoved into his mouth.
A hand yanked on his hair, forcing him to open his mouth wider. The sannin pulled back, but held his hips steady, "Why, yes, pet; I do know of the benefits involved, and I plan to take full advantage of them..." The Uchiha was forced into another kiss, which he accepted well considering he hadn't yet caught his breath from the previous attack. "Come, now, let's not waste any time..." Orochimaru wrapped his arm around the other's waist as they exited the chamber.
I hope Itachi can forgive me for this... But then, why should he? Fuck... Sasuke was regretting his trip already. It's going to be a long three days...

"... He went to a hot spring resort?" Kisame's story had lost any sense of possibility about halfway through his desperate ramblings. Now Itachi was trying to decide whether to skin him alive (shark skin might fetch him a pretty penny), cut a few parts off, or just slaughter the hell out of him and get it over with.
Seeing this, the blue Akatsuki took a couple steps back, "Okay fine! So he didn't... But he- Well... I can't tell you. Just know that he's safe; Sasuke is pretty damn powerful and you know he can take care of himself." I hope… He did go to Orochimaru… From what I gather he had quite a bit of control, but even the best ninja can be overpowered easily by lust. Damn, just look at Itachi. The older Uchiha raised an eyebrow and began to stalk away, halting at the door.
"When will he be back?" Where could he have gone? Surely not to Konoha... Or worse... An internal shudder that ran through him at the thought of the snake fucking his otouto (again); he had vowed to not let that happen. But if he really wants it, then shouldn't I... No. Sasuke didn't know what he wanted, not really, and it was Itachi's job to protect him from the pain he unwittingly caused himself.
"About a week or so. Maybe less, though..." He added the last part quickly as the other's shoulders tensed. "Pein just gave him a week to complete the mission-" SHIT! The shark threw his hands over his mouth, shaking his head back and forth as if to take the statement back. Now I'll be damned if he predicts where or even what Sasuke would need to do that Pein nor another member could easily do himself.
"... Is Pein still searching for the Sound hideouts?" Itachi turned slightly in anticipation of the answer. That would be an easy way to occupy myself; mindlessly documenting quadrants and locations is always simple, though time consuming. He decided to give Kisame a break by avoiding the obvious slip of information. Unfortunately, I think I know all I need to.
"Uh... Well, yeah, there are hundreds, you know, so it's not like Sasori, Deidara, and I were able to find all of them within a few hours." He was relieved at the subject; there was no way Itachi would be able to investigate all the hideouts or even begin to find a good portion of them. Surely Sasuke and Orochimaru himself are the only ones who know about all of them.
"Great. Tell Pein I'm plotting their locations. I'll be back in a few days as well." But I'll be searching for his chakra signature every goddamn place I visit...
"Oh okay... Well... There's an updated scroll detailing the locations we know of... And local towns usually have at least one nearby that they think is kind of suspicious, so-" It would be really bad if he found the one Sasuke went to... Shit shit shit! Why did I have to mention the mission?!
"Thanks Kisame, but I think I can handle such a menial task." The Uchiha was gone a second later, leaving the shark to wonder about his true feelings on the matter; surely he didn't really expect to find Sasuke so easily?

Yes! Done at last… Sorry for the slightly late update; I got a bit distracted… Besides, I'm thinking I'll post a couple new chapters next week, just for fun XD
So once again (and again and again), thanks SO MUCH to everyone who reviewed!!!! I am also very grateful for those of you who put this story on alert or in your favorites; it is a great honor to know that my work is appreciated.
I think I've finally decided kind of where this plot is going, but there will be a TON of tangents (I've got to put in all those random SasUKE pairings, you know X3)… Again, there is no end in sight.
Oh, point of interest, I wasn't entirely sure what the kanji on Orochimaru's Akatsuki ring meant; most of my research revealed that it was Void, but some random site maintained that it was Sky… So, yeah, I went with Void and shall keep it as such. Still, if anyone knows, please share.
Again, if you have any questions, comments, concerns, or random things to say, leave a review or PM/email me. Thanks!!! XD
Much Love,
VI
