SPOILER ALERT Depends on what you are asking. His partner in the Akatsuki is Kisame Hoshigaki. I assume that is what you mean.
He joins Orochimaru for 3 years for training. He then kills Orochimaru, and forms the Hebi (later known as Taka), which includes Jugo, Suigetsu, Karin, and himself. Taka then does some favores for the Akatsuki (specificlly Madara), like capturing the 8 Tails. They wore Akatsuki robes when doing so, but after the favor was done, Sasuke claims the Taka isn't working for them
First of all, there are 11. The team has only nine at a time, but one member (Orochimaru) was defected from the group and one (Sasori) was killed and replaced by Tobi.

At the end of Naruto (original) Sasuke wants power and joins orochimaru. In Shippuden Sasuke gets stronger and more evil by killing more people. Sasuke kills Orochimaru and joins the Akatsuki. Right now Sasuke's target is Naruto and Konohagakaru.
