Well enjoy and review plz!

At TenTen's party everyone was having their own kind of fun. The only ones who didn't seem to have fun were Sasuke, Gaara and Hinata. Sasuke because he kept getting mobbed by girls, Gaara because of what had happened earlier between Sasuke and Hinata and Hinata because she had upset a close friend. The rest of their friends were inside dancing, drinking or possibly getting lucky. TenTen had a really big place since her family owned a large chain of weapon companies.

Standing on TenTen's roof was the only place Hinata found some peace. Hinata looked at the clear blue liquid that had been handed to her in a small glass a while ago. Drinking was not normally in her interest but she felt the need for it since upsetting a friend made her upset. She was on her 7th shot when Gaara approached her for the first time since they arrived.

"I would have never thought of you as an alcoholic" his voice low.

"I don't normally drink but I upset you so now I am upset" she took another shot. The clear liquid burning her throat as it made its way down. How she hated this feeling.

"I am not upset anymore so stop drinking" he hated to see her drink so much. He was afraid she might get alcohol poisoning if she kept up at the pace she was drinking.

"you shouldn't lie. It doesn't suit you" another shot. She refilled the small glass with difficulty.

"Hinata…" he clenched his fists, "stop!" he slapped the glass and bottle out of her hands causing them to shatter on the ground floor. The music was so loud though that no one heard it.

The drunken Hinata stared at the ground where the broken glass now lay. "What a waste" she was referring to the alcohol which now was being sucked into the grass and dirt on the lawn.

Gaara was outraged at her comment, "What the hell were you thinking?! Did you think that if you got drunk I'd be happy?! That maybe alcohol poisoning yourself would make you feel better?!"

Pale eyes still on the broken glass. "I… I'm sorry"

"Hinata… I… lo-" he stopped himself before continuing, "I care about you a lot. Please don't do these things to yourself"

"You drink" the glass seemed so interesting to her for some reason. She watched a maid run out and begin to clean the glass up. The maid looked up the where Hinata was, smiled and continued to finish picking up the broken glass when she accidentally cut herself on one of the pieces. Blood trickled from her palm to her wrist leaving a visible red line. The line was especially visible to Hinata since she smelt the blood as soon as it was exposed from the skin of the young maid. 'Shit.. She has AB blood'

Before Hinata could jump down to assault the maid Gaara wrapped his arms around her making her situation worse. She wasn't supposed to be this close to him. She wasn't supposed to give in to her instincts for a mate. Hinata turned in his arms and bit what she thought was his neck but soon realized that it wasn't. It was someone's wrist she bit into.

'Type AB' was her last thought losing herself in the ecstasy of the blood. The blood she drank was no doubt AB but she knew it wasn't Gaara's blood. And no one else knew she was a vampire. When she was fully satisfied she released her hold on the wrist.

Gaara was surprised, no, that was an understatement. He was also pissed off at the man who was now cleaning the blood from Hinata's lips with his tongue. Clearly upset too Hinata pushed the man from her being, "Sasuke! Why did you do that?!"

"Sasuke? My dear, I am not Sasuke. I am his older brother, Itachi." he smirked at her while licking his lips once more.

"Itachi… Uchiha?" were her last words before she passed out in Gaara's arms.

"I'll explain at my place" Itachi drove Gaara and Hinata to the Uchiha home. Gaara eyed the elder Uchiha suspiciously. He carried Hinata inside the Uchiha household to lay her down onto the elder Uchiha's bed. The two men waited by her side for her to wake up.

"So…" Gaara gazed at Itachi's wrist trying to figure out the best way to start the conversation.

"Don't worry I wont become a vampire"

"I could care less about that" his reply came honestly.

"before I begin I believe I should answer any questions you may have?" Itachi leaned back in his black chair slightly.

"Why did you let her drink your blood?" Gaara didn't know anything about vampires since Hinata hadn't told him much so maybe Itachi could fill in the blanks. The red head had already figured out that Itachi was a vampire since Itachi was now drinking blood from a small glass, well that and the way he licked the blood from Hinata's lips earlier, which still made him mad.

"Because as a fellow vampire it doesn't affect me if she drinks my blood." Itachi watched Gaara's lack of reaction before continuing.

"what do you think would have happened if she bit your neck? Do you think she would have enough control not to kill you? Or do you think she would have marked you as hers? Or maybe, she would have killed you"

Gaara's eyes widened a bit, "I'm not sure"

"Gaara…" Itachi was growing more amused with the red heads lack of knowledge on vampires. "well let me tell you exactly what would have happened. She would have lost control and killed you. True she is in desperate need for a mate but she cannot control herself when she is around her favorite type of blood."

"Why not?"

"She is only a teenager in vampire years and is trying desperately to choose her first mate wisely. The first mate a vampire chooses has a certain, sentimental value to them. Especially Hinata who is trying not to fall in love which is why she is not going to choose you."

"so what? Are you saying that she wont choose me because she is falling for me?"

"Not really. I am saying that there is a possibility she might be falling for you. Being a vampire isn't something she asked for. In her opinion being a vampire is a curse that she would not wish upon someone she loves"

"I understand now" his head turned to Hinata's sleeping form.

"She will only allow herself to fall in love with someone of her own species since they are already one of her kind"

"Well what if I want to become a vampire? For her I would"

"Do you really love my pet that much?"

"Your pet?" Gaara sounded irritated when Itachi had called Hinata his pet.

"Yes, I am her-"

He was cut off, "Master" Hinata sat up on the bed looking around the room. "I… I thought you were dead master!" she jumped onto Itachi's lap sobbing onto his shirt.

Her master spoke softly to her, "I will never leave you Hinata. At least until you choose a mate. Then I will have to leave"

"No master! Never!" she clutched his shirt tightly not wanting him to ever leave her again.

The room was silent except for the small sobs of the young vampire until, "Why master? Why did you leave me? Why did you make me believe that you were dead for three hundred years!?"

Gaara was shocked to hear that she had been a live for three hundred years. He only watched as the two vampires interacted with one another. All of Itachi's information sinking in to him finally. "Hinata"

Hinata turned to see her close friend sitting across from her master. "Gaara" their eyes met for a moment.

Itachi watched them with amusement. It seemed that the red head really did like her after all. "Hinata I am hungry"

She nodded, "Gaara would you please leave us for a moment?"

Gaara stood abruptly and walked out the door without another word. An inaudible curse was heard in the vampire's ears after the door was harshly shut.

Itachi knew this was a lot of information to take in at once. In a way he sympathized with the human but at the same time he knew it had to be said. "Hinata"

She looked at him, tears stinging her eyes again. "You never answered me master"

"I do not have to answer to you and you know that. In any case it is you who answers to me" he motioned for her to sit on his lap.

"But…"

"Sh Hinata, I am hungry" he licked the side of her neck longingly. His fangs grew slightly and he dug them into her flesh drinking her sweet blood. How he had missed the taste of her blood.

Downstairs Gaara sat in silence on one of the couches. According to his cell phone it was around three AM. He sighed, 'am I really not suitable to be her mate? Why is she afraid of making me into a vampire? Is it really that bad?'

"what the hell are you doing here?"

Gaara looked up to see Sasuke completely pissed off. When Gaara didn't answer Sasuke got even more pissed, "I said, what the hell are you doing here?!"

"Relax dear brother. He is one of my guests" Itachi and Hinata made their way downstairs together.

"Hinata?" Sasuke couldn't believe that his friends were now hanging out with his brother.

"Hello Sasuke" Hinata smiled at him. Sasuke smelt of alcohol to her. "Have you been drinking Sasuke? Drinking is bad for you" her voice filled with concern.

"you shouldn't talk since you were drinking earlier too" Gaara snapped.

"It was only because I was upset!" she snapped back. This had to be the worst night she had in a long time. The main people in her life all in the same room, one drunk, the second had been presumed dead and the last was snapping at her as if she were some child in need of an adult.

"Get out!" Sasuke yelled at all of them. "Just get the hell out!"

"Brother…" Itachi put a hand on Sasuke's shoulder.

Sasuke calmed down a little but stormed off to his bedroom slamming the door behind him. Ok so now only two of the three most important people in her life were in the room. Still hard to take since one looked like he wanted to murder the other. Things were quiet for what seemed like an eternity.

"I apologize for my brother's rudeness. He was clearly intoxicated and I ask you to excuse him" Itachi bowed slightly towards Gaara who only nodded.

"How the hell can they hang out with Itachi?! He is weird and hates to socialize! The bastard is practically a vampire always walking around at night and sleeping during the day!" Sasuke hated the fact that Hinata was in his brother's room alone. He could only imagine what kind of things they had done. This brought him to the question of, 'Is Hinata a virgin?'

He knew he wasn't supposed to think about that but he wanted to take it away from her. He wanted to be her first if she was and if not then he would be satisfied with being her next. Her only during her lifetime. Course he did not know that she was a creature of the night nor that his brother was one as well. "Fucking Itachi"

A very colorful string of curses were attached to his brother's name after that. Realization hit Sasuke like the alcohol had hit him earlier. Could he possibly be in love with the Hyuga? His stomach felt sick so he hurried to his bathroom and proceeded to vomit the alcohol in his system into the white toilet. Vomiting was certainly something he was not used to doing. Normally he watched the alcohol intake but for some reason he had gone over his limit. Then he remembered…

FLASHBACK TO PARTY

A very intoxicated Naruto kept trying to get Sasuke drunk by handing the dark haired man a lot of alcohol mixed drinks which were carelessly tossed off to the side by the dark haired man. Since this method did not seem to work Naruto decided to cheat. He spiked Sasuke's punch and watched the fun progress. Sasuke was no doubt in no time, completely drunk.

FLASHBACK OVER

"Fucking Naruto. I'm going to kill him when I see him later" he finished puking the last of the contents in his stomach which included some burning stomach acid. The acid burned his throat worse than the alcohol had. Laying on his bed his thoughts made their way back to his new love interest. "Hinata"

"You love her don't you?" Itachi was amused that his little brother was too infatuated with his pet.

"What is it to you if I do?"

"Nothing that you need to know now dear brother" Itachi left closing the door gently behind him. He knew Sasuke would fall for Hinata but didn't think he would ever really realize it. Now what was Hinata going to do incase both men asked to be with her? This was going to be a lot of trouble.

Hinata and Gaara had already left in a taxi to go get Gaara's car then he drove her home. Everything between them was silent. It was so uncomfortable for Hinata not being able to read his thoughts and it was uncomfortable for Gaara to not confess his feelings for her. He was just afraid of rejection since she seemed to really want Itachi around for awhile. Deciding to tell her another day so he could let her enjoy Itachi for awhile he said nothing.

Before Hinata stepped out of the car Gaara muttered, "Hinata"

She stopped to listen to what he had to say, "yes?"

"I want you to know that even though I do not like your master I still have want to be your friend and I hope we can talk again soon"

She closed the car door, "I'll text you after I am done getting ready for bed"

He nodded and left her standing there watching his car disappear. This outing had proven to be a very drama filled one. How she hated drama but then being a vampire would not help at all. Walking inside she ignored all of the welcomes from the maids and even from Neji. How could he have known that she had a difficult night? That she had been reunited with her master which should make her happy now but the fact that Gaara and Sasuke were upset only upset her.

Plopping down on her bed she stared at the ceiling then her room. It was void of life except for the only picture frame on top of a small wooden desk next to her bed. It held a picture of her new friends in college. She picked up the small frame in her small hands running over the soft glass to her two closest friends. The red head had not smiled in that photo and neither had dark haired one. It was funny how two very different people could be so much alike at the same time. How she cared for them both she would never know but she did know that she would do her best to make them happy. Too bad for her they had both fallen for her, indeed they had fallen hard.

Gaara got home and was interrogated as to his whereabouts by his sister Temari. He of course ignored her and made his way into his room making sure to lock the door behind him. Stripping down to his boxers he laid on the bed to wait for the text message. He didn't wait long before his cell phone vibrated on his pillow. He had put it there on purpose so if he fell asleep the vibration would wake him up.

Hinata : U awake?

Gaara : Yea I was waiting

Hinata : Sorry 4 wat hapnd tonite

Gaara : so you have a master. What does that mean in human terms?

Hinata : it means dat I serve em until 1 of us dies nd he feeds off of my blood as he pleases

Gaara : so he is like a mate?

Hinata : kind of only we dnt have sex

Gaara : dats good

Hinata : I agree there

Gaara : would you ever have sex with him?

Hinata : wat kinda ? Is dat!

Gaara : well?

Hinata : NO!!! he is my master only!

Gaara : ok

Hinata : …

Gaara : Have you chosen a mate yet?

Hinata rolled on her stomach thinking about a suitable reply, no I hvnt. I have an idea who but Im unsure

Gaara : may I know?

Hinata : honestly, I am stuck between two men

Gaara growled when he read this. After almost a year of knowing her she still wouldn't choose him! She frustrated the hell out of him sometimes, which two?

Hinata : im not sure you really wanna kno

Gaara : I do. You know that I have strong feelings for you and I need to know!

She didn't know why but reading his last message made her sad. Telling a lie would be too much of a risk so she went with the truth, I am stuck with you and Sasuke

Gaara was overjoyed when he read 'you' but all thoughts of job left him leaving growls when he read 'Sasuke' He had a feeling she was going to say one of the Uchiha brothers, Not your master?

Hinata : I never thought of em dat way

Hinata had never really thought about her master that way. Wait, no that was a lie. She had but that was when she was younger. She didn't understand the meaning of becoming his mate back then. She remembered how once he almost took her as his mate but that was a little over three hundred years ago, before he had disappeared leaving her to fend for herself.

Gaara : oh. Well I am going to bed.

Hinata : gnight

Gaara : gnight

Both closed their cell phone and fell asleep on their beds for a few hours.
