Summary: Naruto is slowly breaking under the abuse from the villagers, when a fight with Sakura sends him over the edge.

Desperate, he joins Akatsuki. Can those people he's always been told to be evil and stone-hearted show him what it's like to have a family...?
ItaNaru, SasoDei, PeinKonan, onesided KisaIta and a surprise pairing you will learn of this chapter.

Warnings: This is yaoi/slash people, if you haven't already noticed. Boy on boy love. If this offends you, please hit the back button.

Rating: T, for now.

There's also violence, possible character death (nobody important), graphic scenes, and later on lemons. This is AU, Orochimaru never happened (at least not in the canon way), Naruto didn't have an encounter with Akatsuki yet and his family is different as in the canon.

Chapter 5

Akatsuki Hideout, just before Kisame and Naru arrive

"So...", Sasori started, "Is there anyway to reserve the block in Naruto's memory?"

"Yes. But it's difficult." Pein said. "The only way to break trough Shizune's power is love. Pure, unconditional love. And even if we found somebody who Naruto could love like that,

it doesn't necessarily have to work. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't."

"Pure love ?" Itachi asked, speaking up for the first time.

"Yes. I can give you a story I still remember for an example. I was resting in a little town, hidden in the desert of Suna, when I met Tsunade and Shizune. Tsunande was gambling there, and Shizune followed her as always. While Tsunade was in a casino, the bitch decided to have some fun with her powers,

and tried to make a mother believe her little son was the most disgusting being in the world, and that she had to kill him. But the mother's love for her son was stronger than Shizune's power and she overcame the hate and disgust, swooped up her little boy and ran away, screaming. That's how I learned of her power, and that there's a chance to overcome it."

"Bloody love, huh? That's so fucking cliché." Hidan snorted.

The door to the big common room opened, and Naruto and Kisame walked it.

"What's up with love?" Kisame asked, oblivious. "And why do you never talk about stuff like that while I'm with you?"

"Because nobody wants to make love to a fish!" Naruto drawled. "I'm not a fish!" the poor fishy squeaked.

Everybody, except Naruto and Kisame laughed. "He's definitely your brother, Dei." Sasori chuckled.

"Yeah, I'm pretty funny, I know. But, I really have some important questions right now, so..." Naruto started. "You're right." Pein said, getting himself under control again. "We're going to tell you everything you need to know. Just take a seat and we will get started."

Naruto sat down beside Itachi and Konan, and waited expectantly. "So, for starters, I guess you want to know, why Deidera is your half brother?" Seeing the blonde nod, Deidera begun.

"Well, you see, our Dad, who you know was the fourth Hokage, was an early firecracker. When he was 15, he met my mum, and well...you know, they made me. Seeing as he was so young; my mum was 23; and had a great career as Hokage planned, he couldn't take care of me, so he left me with my mum. Of course, he visited from time to time, and I went to Konoha a few times, but I still missed him dearly. Then, when he was 24, he met your mum." Here, he stopped, looking at Konan. Said woman sighed, and said quietly:

"Which is me."

At Sasuke's, with Sasu and Oro

"Orochimaru! What are you doing here!" Sasuke asked, shocked.

"Sasu-chan, don't be that way! What about a: Hello love, it's really nice to have you here,

why don't you come in so I can give you some dry clothes and you can fuck me into the mattress? " Orochimaru smirked.

"Oh, shut up." Sasuke said good-naturedly. "Come in you big brute and tell me what you want." "You, of course, hun." the other male said, while he walked into the cozy apartment.

"Can't you think of anything else besides sex?" the raven muttered, shaking his head in mock disbelieve. He was already so used to his lovers antics, he really didn't mind them anymore.

After they got Orochimaru into new clothes, they sat in Sasuke's living room, panting from a hot make out session. When both were able to breath regularly again, Orochimaru begun. "Well, you were right earlier, I'm not just here for the sex. Even though it's clearly an added bonus. It's about your teammate, Naruto. You see, after you left the training place, I overheard a conversation between the pinkie bitch and your sensei.

They seemed to really hate Naruto, and that perv was talking about some plan, and how pinkie messed it up and was going to be punished for it by Tsunade. Do you have any idea what that plan could be?"

"No...But what do you mean with 'they seemed to hate Naruto'? I know Sakura doesn't like him to much, but Kakashi and Naru were ok with each other." Sasuke asked thoughtfully.

"It didn't look like that to me. They were calling him a monster, a good-for-nothing freak, or stuff like that. They didn't care about him in the slightest."

"What?" Sasuke couldn't believe it. Had he been fooled so much by his team? Nothing made sense anymore. Sakura and Kakashi turned out to be such assholes, Naruto disappeared...His team was falling apart. Slowly tears made their way down the raven's cheek.

"There, there, Sasu-chan. Don't cry, everything is going to be ok again. I promise." Orochimaru whispered to him, but Sasuke didn't stop, and Orochimaru let him, and simply held him the whole night, murmuring sweet nonsense into his love's ear.

AN: So, here you go. It's really been a long time since the last update, and I know this sucks. Next chapter will be longer and better. Thanks for all the reviews so far, they really make me happy. Much love,

Lilith.
