Both set of parents are sick of there children not looking for a mate to share the rest of eternity with. Neither Itachi nor Cassie are ready for that commitment yet. But when the families come together Itachi and Cassie find they have no choice in who there mates will be now... for an old tradition will pick for them... will the young vampires be able to fight this tradition or will they fall to it?

A/N: Ok so this story would not leave me alone, i love vampires and I love Naruto so I thought why not mess the two? Btw just to let you know I will be updating my other two stories as well but this one is my baby at the moment. Also it is rated M for a reason, there will be future lemons (due to the fact people keep asking me to write a lemon) and there will be violence. I do hope you all enjoy this and I would very much love some review on it.

Thanks guys

Chapter 1

The house was in a state of uproar, family members where coming and going, maids and butlers where rushing around preparing food and drinks. But in all the mess and confusion I was sat in the corner of the hallway reading. I had no interest in what was going on, I didn't care that the most noble and well respected vampire clan in the world would be here in less than an hour and certainly didn't care that my family wanted to make a good impression on them. I sighed and put my book on the window ledge, I watched as people ran backwards and forwards with a small smirk. It was amusing that one family could make everyone act like this. It wasn't even like this was the first visit from the family. Standing up I made my way towards the stairs and the sanctuary of my bedroom. But before I had even gotten half way up the stairs my mother's voice stopped me "Where are you going Cassie?"

I turned to face her and smiled "To my room"

She shook her head and said "You need to be down her to greet our guests"

"Why is everyone freaking out so much about this? It's not like the Uchiha's haven't been here before"

"I know dear but this time Fugaku has something to speak with us about, though your father won't say what" she added with a small smile.

I sighed and walked down the stairs, when I was stood at my mother's side I said "If Itachi pisses me off once while he is here I will kill him"

"You and Itachi have been annoying each other since you where both children, I doubt that is going to change anytime soon" replied my mother with a small smile.

"Yeah well he is arrogant" I muttered

"Cassandra! Be nice! Besides you haven't seen Itachi since you where 12, 10 years is a long time, he may have changed"

"I doubt it" I muttered as I walked down the hall. My mother followed me, as we walked we spoke about how long the Uchiha family would be here for and the possible reasons they could have fro needing to see my father.

"Perhaps Fugaku wants father to invest in another of his companies" I said

"I don't think so; he would just speak to him over the phone"

"True" I said.

We walked in to the living room to find my father sat on one of the sofas. He looked up from the paper he was reading and smiled. I gave him a grin back and leaned over to kiss his cheek "Good evening father" I said.

"Good evening princess" he replied then he turned to my mother and smiled as she sat down next to him. I sat down on the overstuffed chair and waited for my father to speak. I didn't have to wait long "Cassie, I know you and Itachi haven't always gotten along but I will ask you now, please do not provoke him, you know as well as I do his father does not find it amusing and I really cannot be bothered stopping another fight with the two of you"

I smirked remembering one of the times Itachi and I had gotten in to a fight; it had ended with me pushing him down the stairs. I nodded once to my father though and said "I'll try not to fight with him, but to be fair he has started them as well it's not just me"

"And I have no doubt Fugaku is speaking with him as well. Just bare in mind you are 22, Itachi is 23 and you are both part of two of the most noble vampire families in the world, you both cannot keep acting like children..."

"I couldn't agree more" came a voice from the door. I spun in my seat and saw both Mikoto and Fugaku stood there watching us. I blushed a deep red while my father stood up and walked over to his long time friend.

"Ah Fugaku-san, it is nice to see you again" he then turned his eyes to Mikoto and continued "And you dear Mikoto, I trust your journey was comfortable?"

"It was thank you, David" replied Mikoto, she turned from my father then and looked at my mother, the two women squealed and embraced each other, I just sat watching all four adults wondering where Itachi and his brother Sasuke where.

Mikoto let go of my mother and turned to me, with a smile she opened her arms, and I stood up and hugged her. I liked Mikoto; she was like a second mother to me. Also she always took my side over Itachi's which amused me and annoyed him. After a few minutes she pulled back from me and looked me over.

"Oh Cassie, you really have grown up beautiful... don't you think...Itachi?" she asked looking over my shoulder.

I scowled and turned to face the irritating man, He was leaning against the door frame, irritating smirk on his lips. Pushing off the door frame he spoke in his soft silk tenor "She has grown up quite lovely" He walked further in to the room and stopped in front of me. I glared at him and muttered a quick "Itachi" in greeting. His smirk widened and he slowly reached out and took my hand. I knew what he was going to do and I had to stop myself pulling my hand from his and smacking him in the face. He raised my hand to his lips and brushed a soft kiss across my knuckles. As he lowered my hand he spoke "It's good to see you again Cassie"

I pulled my hand from his and turned to my mother. I saw the delighted smile on her face and frowned. I looked to Mikoto and noticed she had the same smiled on her face. I sighed and spoke "I'm leaving" then I turned to leave the room. I stopped when my father spoke "You're not going out?" he asked

"No, just to my room" I answered then with that I brushed past Itachi and my father and ran to my room. Once in my room I slammed the door shut behind me and sighed. I looked down at my hand and frowned, Itachi had only ever kissed my hand once before and that was when his mother had told him to. I didn't like the fact he had touched me or kissed my hand and he probably knew it. Suddenly my phone rang and I jumped across the room to answer it, landing on my stomach on the bed I reached out and picked the phone up "Hello?" I asked

"Hey it's me" replied my lifelong friend Sakura.

I pushed myself into a sitting position and spoke "How's it going?"

"Fine, so bored though. Have they got there yet?" she asked

"Yeah about 10 minutes ago" I replied

"And?"

"And what?"I asked.

"Hello! Itachi, what was it like seeing him? Is Sasuke with them?" she asked in a rush.

"It was pretty none eventful and as for Sasuke I didn't see him but that doesn't mean he isn't here. Please tell me you don't still have a crush on him" I replied

"Oh shut up! Just because you think all Uchiha's are arrogant asshole there to be the bane of your existence it doesn't mean we all do!"

"Itachi IS the bane of my existence" I said

"Yeah sure..." before she could carry in there was a knock on my door. I turned and frowned at it while saying "Hey Sak I am going to have to ring you back someone is at my door"

"No problem, I only rang to see is hot stuff was there anyway" she replied

"Please I am going to be sick" I said then after hearing her huff of annoyance I spoke again "Anyway I'll speak to you later" without waiting for a reply I put the phone down and got off my bed.

I walked over to the door and hissed in annoyance as the person knocked again "I'm coming!" I shouted. I reached out to the door and pulled it open; I immediately wanted to shut it when I saw Itachi leaning against the wall next to my door. He looked amused at my obvious annoyance.

"Can I help you with something?" I snapped.

"Our parents are talking, they sent me up here with this..." he handed me a folded up bit of paper. I opened it and looked over my mother's handwriting "Be nice and don't start a fight, we will let you know when you can both come down" I glared at the paper and looked up at Itachi. Keeping my mother's words in mind I stepped back and allowed him entrance to my room. He pushed off the wall and walked past me, his shoulder brushing mine as he did. I froze at that bit of contact; I could feel the heat that radiated off him. Turning to look at him I raised my eye brows in question

"It's coming up to Samhain and I am a UN mated male" he offered as explanation.

I looked at my calendar and realised he was right. I turned to look at him again. I really did not want to be on my own in a room with him, not this close to Samhain and not when he was UN mated. Because no matter how much Itachi and I hated each other (or said we did anyway) once the magic of Samhain came over a male of my species they where programmed to find a female and make them their own. It was just the way it worked and did not want to be around Itachi when that happened. He smirked and took one step towards me; I glared at him and hissed "What is so amusing?"

"You haven't worked it out yet have you?" he asked.

I had no idea what he was talking about; he knew this and his smirk grew wider. Stepping closer again he asked "Why do you think my parents would bring me here this close to Samhain?"

A/N: Yes Samhain is Halloween it is the pagan holiday, I figured what better day for vampires to turn back to their more base instincts than the holiday dedicated to all things spooky?

As always please read and review!

Thanks
