Yuki Kuran and Zero Kiryu are one of the main romantic couples in the Vampire Knight series. They have a daughter named Ren Kiryu.
Yuki and Zero met at ages 12 and 13 respectively, when Zero was taken in by Kaien Cross into his home. Yuki immediately took to the young boy and looked after him the night they met, cleaning the emotionally fragile Zero's wounds. She promised to be with him always after she discovered him distraught one night, tearing at his neck. Yuki would often...
Zero's Awakening
After his vampire instincts fully awaken, Zero becomes increasingly distant towards Yuki. Frustrated at being pushed away, Yuki pursues Zero and he loses control, biting her and drinking her blood ravenously. Yuki discovers that Zero was bitten by a Pureblood vampire, turning him into a vampire too. Finally beginning to understand Zero's anguish, Yuki arrives just in time to stop Zero from committing suicide. She then stops him from leaving the Academy, promising to stop him herself if he loses control. Following the incident, Kaien gives Yuki a hunter bracelet that will tame Zero using a blood spell. It is also revealed that the tattoo he had gotten in his adolescent years, with a symbol that matches the one on the bracelet, was supposed to stop his transformation into a vampire. After visiting Kaname in the hopes he'll keep Zero's secret, she meets Zero outside. She learns that Zero isn't affected by sunlight the way most vampires are, due to not being born as one. She also blurts out that vampires and humans aren't suited for each other, something she immediately regrets saying in fear of offending Zero. However, in response Zero gives Yuki a gun used to kill vampires, telling her to kill him when the day comes and he loses control. On a trip to town to run errands, Yuki finds a shirt for Zero. She remarks that Zero needs someone to take care of him, and likens him to a younger brother. Zero quickly shrugs off her remark, reminding her that he's a year older than she is. The two exchange banter and Yuki feels like they are back to the 'old days', despite knowing now that he is a vampire. Zero later protects Yuki from a rogue vampire. At Takuma Ichijo's party, Zero once again begins to thirst uncontrollably and leaves abruptly, with Yuki quickly in pursuit. She finds a packet of blood tablets, but Zero reveals they have only made him sick since he bit Yuki and he can no longer tolerate them the way he once did. He then tries to attack Yuki again and she pulls him into the pool, stopping him. Yuki protects Zero from Toga Yagari when he injures him during the pool scene, and it's revealed that Zero was a former student of his. Though she's kept out of their later discussion in private, it's clear that Yuki is deeply concerned for Zero's welfare after learning about his tablet tolerance, realising that he really could eventually become a Level E. After that, she makes the decision to save Zero in the best way she can. Yuki takes Zero into the bathroom and, despite his protests, coaxes him into drinking her blood. She reiterates to Zero afterwards that she'll be the one to stop him and she'll 'tame the beast' even if he hates her for it, because she won't let him die. Zero asks her how he could hate her, but quickly changes subject. Though she asks Zero to promise her he'll come to school, he doesn't turn up. Realising there's trouble, Yuki intervenes before Toga can pull the trigger and kill Zero in his quarters. Zero redirects the gun and Toga reveals that the two had made a promise for Zero to die at Toga's hands if he should become a vampire. After Toga leaves, Zero comforts Yuki with a pat on the head, telling her not to cry as he won't 'run away' anymore. It's revealed that, despite taking Yuki's blood, Zero still thirsts and barely keeps control when watching over a sleeping Yuki. She later finds him in the bathroom and jokes about giving her blood 'willy-nilly' when she has the responsibility of providing Zero with blood 'forever'. This is following a conversation regarding her feelings for Kaname earlier. Zero pins her to the wall, giving her the impression he's going to drink from her, but pulls away shortly after and tells her to get out. Yuki responds with annoyance, throwing a towel with her bra inside at him while calling him a jerk. She snatches the bra back and warns him she'll be angry if he tests her again. The next day Yuki follows Zero during a hunt and is attacked by a Level E vampire. Zero rescues Yuki and executes the vampire in front of her. While on patrol after the arrival of Maria Kurenai, Yuki finds Zero stood beneath a tree. She initially jokes about Zero loafing off on his job. They then proceed to have a conversation about the hunting incident and Yuki reveals she was worried Zero had run away and would go off one day in search of vengeance without telling her. Though Zero tries to shrug her off, Yuki reminds him that it's her who will kill him and so she should know these things. When Maria approaches, Zero suddenly becomes aggressive, forcing Yuki to protect Maria from him. After this event, he tells Yuki while helping her with work that the bite given to him by the vampire who turned him was throbbing. Yuki puts her hand over his and tells him she's worried. Thinking he may be sleepy, she goes to make him coffee. However, Zero stops her, taking her hand in his. He reveals to Yuki, who asks if he wants blood, that she was the reason he was able to carry on living. Still worried after he leaves, Yuki follows him and finds out that inside Maria is Shizuka Hio, the woman who turned Zero. Before she can intervene, Kaname puts her to sleep and takes her memories of the event away. Despite Kaname's efforts, Yuki regains her memories and confronts Maria. She, or rather Shizuka, reveals that she can save Zero from becoming a Level E. In exchange for her aid, she has to either be give herself to Shizuka or kill Kaname. Zero turns up bloodied while the ballroom is being prepped for the ball, apparently searching for Maria/Shizuka. Yuki takes him into another room and he warns her to stay away from Maria/Shizuka before drinking her blood. She notices that he isn't hesitant when he drinks from her and reflects on that bargain offered by Maria/Shizuka. Zero also reflects on how Yuki's blood calmed him, feeling disgust at himself. Yuki arrives at the ball and adjusts Zero's clothing, putting a rose in his pocket to finish the look. Zero asks how she can smile and Yuki tells him it's because she wants him to smile too. After dancing with Kaname, Yuki leaves to seal the deal for Zero's life, offering herself as a sacrifice. Before she can bite Yuki, though, Zero arrives and stops them. Yuki protects Shizuka from Zero, revealing to him that she can save him from descending to madness. Despite this, Zero still tries to attack Shizuka, forcing Yuki to try to tame him with her bracelet. Shizuka's voice puts Zero under her control and she has him hold onto Yuki tightly as she takes his blood as punishment for being tamed by Yuki. Shizuka then tells a protesting Yuki that she's cruel for making Zero suffer with the choices she made, and Yuki wonders aloud if he'd forgive her for it. Zero breaks free of the control before Yuki can be bitten and protects her from Shizuka, though he's still weakened by her influence. She mocks him, prompting him to break free completely by shooting himself with his own gun in the leg. He then fires at Shizuka, with Yuki once again trying to intervene. Zero reveals that he was living for the day he could end Shizuka's life, and Yuki voices a deep fear about Zero's future once his revenge had been completed, asking what he planned to do afterwards. Shizuka answers her question - Zero wanted to die with her once he'd killed her. While Shizuka is with Kaname, the reunited twins Ichiru Kiryu and Zero have a tense confrontation. Yuki tries to stop them from fighting and is protected from Ichiru by Zero. When Kaname rips out Shizuka's heart, the scent of blood alerts Zero and Ichiru runs to find her. Yuki stops Zero before he can follow, reminding him of his lack of answer before and asking him of his intentions following Shizuka's death. Zero confirms that he does want to die with Shizuka, and he doesn't want Yuki to become a vampire - especially not for his sake. He embraces her and tells her she doesn't need to care for him so much. He then leaves, telling her to stay and assuring her he'll return. After the events of that night, Zero is incapacitated with his injuries and cannot attend class. Therefore, Yuki takes notes for him. She later brings him the notes and offers him blood, knowing it'd heal his wounds, but he refuses. She then tricks him and bites his neck teasingly, insisting that he drink her blood. In response to that, Zero throws her out of his room. She is later caught up with Zero in a confrontation with members of the senate, who accuse him of Shizuka's murder and order his execution. Kaname intervenes, however, and forces the vampires to retreat. Yuki speaks about this with Kaien the next day and catches up with Zero afterwards, reporting back on her conversation. Zero tells Yuki that if his gun did indeed kill Shizuka, he wouldn't regret it. Yuki replies that she's glad he didn't give up his life and reminds him again that she's on his side. She then becomes upset that she couldn't be more help to him, and that he didn't get to take Shizuka's blood and be saved. Zero asks her what he is to her, but changes the topic somewhat before she can give him an answer - telling her not to be rash anymore in what she does for him. He leaves, but the question posed to her is still clearly on her mind. Yuki turns up at the boys dorm just before curfew in the hopes of speaking to Zero, but the two end up having to take Hanabusa Aido to Kaien's private quarters as he has ran away from his dorm. While returning plates and requesting more food for Hanabusa, Yuki is caught staring at Zero. He pins her to the wall, insisting she says what she wants to say. She reveals she's afraid for Zero and the time he has left. Zero calls her silly at this, as it is down to him to decide what to do with his life. He asks that she smiles, even just a bit. After dinner, Yuki drops a dish and injures herself collecting the pieces. She then prompts Zero to lick the blood away and he then drinks from her wrist. She is revealed to feel heartache for Zero, wanting him to smile too and not to disappear. She reflects on his question from earlier again, but still hasn't an answer for him - focusing instead on his vampiric traits. After a Day Class student is attacked by a vampire, Zero is made a suspect by Kaname. Yuki doesn't take kindly to this and protects Zero's innocence. Zero shrugs her protest off due to her being upset after declaring she wouldn't speak to Kaname until he found Zero innocent, but she feels that Kaname has been meaner to Zero lately - something that Zero also shrugs off as he's always been that way. Nonetheless, Yuki is sure of Zero's innocence and sets out to catch the culprit so Kaname will apologise. During the night, Zero has a nightmare that begins with Shizuka taunting him and ends with a bloodied Yuki collapsing in his arms. He wakes up in the infirmary just as Yuki enters, concerned for his state. Frantic from his nightmare, Zero pulls Yuki onto the bed and embraces her tightly, afraid and relieved he hadn't killed her. Yuki forces herself out of his grip and takes his face into her hands, asking if he's alright. He assures her he is and she smiles at him. In that moment he realises that he wants her gentle hands and her smile and leans in to kiss her. However, he stops last minute and rests his head on her shoulder, dismissing his actions as she blushes. Following the almost kiss, which Zero claims is due to his half-asleep state, it's clear that the event is still on Yuki's mind. Sayori Wakaba, her best friend, reveals that Yuki has been acting strangely and avoiding Zero since the event. After an incident with a vampire child, Yuki finds herself in an underground mansion during a soirée, having been rescued by Kaname. She spots Zero working and becomes flustered as she remembers the almost-kiss yet again, but insists to herself that he told her he wasn't himself and that's all it was. She reveals that she has always felt Zero was like a sibling for all of those years, a childhood friend and a best friend. When she'd met him, she'd wanted to cherish him. She declares to herself that Zero is indeed precious to her. She picks up on his indifferent nature being so unlike hers after the events in the infirmary and uses that to confirm what had happened was nothing. During the night that Maria awakens and speaks with Zero, Yuki and Zero finally have a proper conversation again. Yuki wonders if her parents abandoned her, but shrugs the thought away quickly before Zero can respond. Despite this, Zero assures her that there's no need to pretend she doesn't care about her past - even with Kaname's support it's scary to not remember. Yuki then confides in Zero about her encounter and conversation with Kaname during the soirée, asking if her heart would be stronger if she was a vampire. Though she tries to assure Zero that Kaname wasn't serious about turning her, he states clearly that he will not allow her to become a vampire - even if Yuki hates him for it. When everyone leaves for the holidays, Yuki is left to ponder over her lost memories. She takes a bath and reminisces on the past she did remember, noting that although Kaname helped her bear the terrifying nights of being without memories, it was Zero who made those sort of nights lessen. Because Zero was suffering, it took the focus from her own pain and she became desperate to help him instead. However, Zero kept his vampire nature a secret from Yuki for as long as he could, and he couldn't be saved because of Shizuka's death. To make matters worse, she considered being the thing he hated most and confided in him about it. Rather than protect him, Yuki felt she'd hurt him instead. This drives her to try and remember her past, not wanting to be problematic anymore. Zero comes to check on her and she finds herself in a bathtub of blood, something she finds quickly is an illusion. Zero almost rushes in to her aid, but she reassures him quickly that she's okay. However, before he can leave she grips onto his shirt, requesting him to stay with her for a while. She explains that she tried to remember her past, and in return Zero offers to help her by taking her to look at the society's records. Yuki, Zero and Kaien go to the Headquarters of the Vampire Hunter Society. Upon arrival one hunter mocks Zero being tamed by Yuki, and Yuki is quick to fire back at him. Before things can escalate, the President arrives and defuses the situation. He asks if Yuki is his girlfriend, which flusters her, and Zero deflects the question by stating their intentions to see the reports from ten years ago. Yuki is hesitant at first when taken to the archives and Zero asks if she wants to stop. Yuki refuses though, admitting that she's nervous, and Zero rubs her cheek comfortingly - making her blush and touch her cheek afterwards. While Yuki is leafing through the archives, Zero is shown suffering with thirst in another room. The President proposes he takes Kaname's blood to delay the fall to madness, something Zero does not want to do. The record Yuki needs sets on fire and she cries out, prompting a struggling Zero to return to her side and protect her. Zero finds Yuki in the girls dorm at night by herself. She says she wants a quiet place to think and scolds him for coming to the girls dorm, even though it's the holidays. She then offers for him to sit beside her, which he does. The two of them speak about Yuki's past - the records burning up and the hallucinations when she tries to remember. She starts believing that someone has taken her memories, and also starts suspecting that person could be Kaname. Noticing Zero gazing at her, she places her hand on his cheek and runs it up through his hair, asking why he looks worried. Zero asks her in response if she doesn't want him to worry. Yuki smiles at him, moving her hand to his shoulder, and says she doesn't want him to waste his time worrying about her when he should be focused on himself. Zero grabs the wrist of the hand on his shoulder and leans close. This reminds Yuki of the almost-kiss, and she is quick to remind herself it happened because Zero was not himself. Zero leans closer as she thinks about this and bites her neck. She notices he's drinking far more than usual and forces him off her. Zero firmly tells her that she's his victim because the only way he can carry on is by drinking from her. However, in return she can make him suffer or worry or drag him into danger because he will always be sinful, and so he willingly will use his life for Yuki. Yuki grips his shirt and cries over her past while he strokes her hair and comforts her. After the holidays, Yuki finds her hallucinations are becoming more severe. Zero finds her in a corridor after talking with Kaname, but she reveals she hasn't been able to ask about her past. She notices Zero's eyes are the colour of blood, but he shrugs it off. On Yuki's behalf, Zero confronts Kaname about her lost memories. Kaname attacks Zero and reveals that Zero's feelings are the same as Kaname's. Zero confesses that he only wants Yuki to smile from the bottom of her heart, and he doesn't want her to sacrifice herself for him. For Yuki's sake, therefore, he drinks Kaname's blood. Ichiru joins the Day Class and remarks about Zero caring for Yuki being surprising as his taste in women was once good. Yori uses this to tease Yuki about Zero cherishing her. Ichiru also comments about Yuki's recklessness making Zero worried just as Zero turns up. Zero shields Yuki from his twin and after the confrontation she yanks Zero's hair out. She realises that something has changed in Zero and grasps his forehead to check for a cold, making Zero remark that she's particularly grabby. Before Zero can leave she asks him to accompany her to the Moon Dorm to speak with Kaname. Zero pokes her head and tells her he'll do it and that she has to stop frowning. Shortly after becoming Kaname's lover, Yuki is reminded by Zero that he wont allow her to become a vampire. She finds his look menacing and it hurts her, but she finds she doesn't feel scared. Yuki collapses later at a picnic with Kaname and is laid to rest in her bed, with Zero at her side watching over her. Ichiru warns Zero not to fall in love with Yuki. When Zero returns after dinner to check on Yuki, she is awake and having a terrible hallucination. He asks if she's alright as he enters the room and is suddenly pinned to the floor by her. Yuki strangles Zero and he allows her to willingly until she calms and returns to her senses somewhat. She questions why he isn't fighting back when she moves her hands away and he reminds her that she can do what she wants with his life. Yuki smiles at this and tells him that it's she who he cannot escape from. She admits that protecting Zero and becoming his ally was all done selfishly so she wouldn't have to face the past she'd lost, because she could focus on being indispensable to Zero instead. Zero tells her that, although it sounds like she needs him, she needs Kaname. Yuki gets up and brushes the incident off, assuring Zero that she's fine and ushering him out of the room. In reality, though, the room is still bloodied and Zero is unable to stop Kaname from spiriting her away.
Yuki's Reawakening
Although Yuki didn't want Kaname to be ashamed of her, she acknowledges that she wanted to save Zero and keep him alive, even if she was hated or shunned by him. She acknowledges that she has hurt Zero many times and that her current situation was her punishment for doing so. To Zero's horror, Yuki awakens as a Pureblood vampire with all of her memories restored. She reveals Kaname as her brother, although he later tells Zero otherwise while she is unconscious, and apologises profusely to a despaired Zero who has his gun pointed at Kaname. The fully awakened Yuki, after being left alone by Kaname, smells blood and is relieved that it does not belong to Zero. She knows, though, that she hasn't a right to worry for him anymore. Despite this and the protests from Hanabusa and Akatsuki Kain, Yuki makes the move to go and visit Zero. She cannot knock his door once she's there, but Zero senses her presence and points a gun to the door. Furious and betrayed, he calls Yuki an arrogant Pureblood who toys with people. She agrees with him, stating that the human Yuki has been devoured by the vampire inside her. Although she smiles while saying it, Hanabusa witnesses her crying afterwards. Zero is detained by the hunters meanwhile and is shown to be thinking of Yuki smiling. He finds himself unable to calm down or silence the thoughts in his head about her or the fact that he can feel both of the Kuran siblings in his bloodstream now she has been awakened. When he senses Rido Kuran's presence he resists the thought that Yuki is different from the other Purebloods. Kaname taunts Zero, knowing that he will aid Kaname because it's for the sake of Yuki - who even as a vampire he won't betray. Later, as Ichiru is dying in his arms, Zero begs for him not to die because he doesn't want to lose anyone else. Ichiru's final wish is for Zero to live on and do what he cannot. Yuki and Zero reunite on the battlefield, and even though Zero declares Yuki his enemy she reminds him that she made up her mind a long time ago and she's on his side - even if they are enemies. Although Zero tries to stop Yuki from assisting in his battle with Rido, even going so far as to throw her from the roof, she ultimately helps him to defeat Rido. Once the dust clears and Yuki asks if Zero's alright, he coldly warns her to stay away and raises his gun at her. He says that he's sick of everything and the only way to be forgiven for his own sins is to eradicate the Pureblood race. However, despite his demeanour he assures Yuki that it's not her fault. Yuki responds by raising Artemis at him, stating that she cannot die yet. Zero finds that he cannot pull the trigger at Yuki, for the finger on the trigger and the trigger itself feel weighted down. He understands that even if he wanted to end things, he's still attached to the past. He's still attached to the human inside Yuki, though he doesn't want to remember her any longer. He reminisces on the times when she'd look after him while he was in great despair, clinging to the warmth of her palm. In those memories he expresses irritation at Yuki's relationship with Kaname and how it could have shaped her into the kind girl who'd pressed her palm to his head on those nights. He remembers being scared and having her there embracing and comforting him. Though he knows he shouldn't have yearned for Yuki's arms, they held him back anyway. That Yuki who looked at him with support and strength still does so as she stands as a vampire in front of him. Angrily, Zero questions why she wont kill him. Kaname arrives and a violent confrontation between him and Zero begins over Zero pointing his gun at Yuki, even though Kaname himself remarks that Zero may not have truly intended to kill her. Yuki intervenes and is ultimately left to say goodbye to Zero. Realising that the Bloody Rose is taking Zero's blood, Yuki pries it from his grip although it causes her pain. Zero glares at her, and she begins to back off once she's sure he's fine. However, Zero pulls her into his arms and holds her. He asks if the Yuki he knew is there still and she admits that she is, but she may disappear forever soon. Zero reveals to Yuki that it's only her blood he has ever wanted to the point where only devouring her would completely satisfy him. He then proceeds to drink her blood and kisses her. Before letting her go, he makes sure she is no longer scared now her memories are returned. He then tells her to go and declares that he'll kill her should they meet again, to which Yuki responds that she'll keep running if that will give him a reason to live on. The two then part ways entirely. After leaving Zero, the shock of the evening's events finally catches up to Yuki as she realises the implication of Zero's kiss. She falls to her knees and cries, not wanting to be Zero's enemy, and apologises for the fact that she is a vampire and therefore is not right for him. Knowing that her true self will not ever change from now on, she finally resolves to lock away the pain in her heart and goes to Kaname's side. She gazes at the picture of her and Zero in her room before leaving, only to see Zero one last time carrying his brother's corpse. Finally, she goes with Kaname to the Kuran Mansion. While on the way there, Kaname lets Yuki know that he's aware her heart is half connected to Zero and she doesn't have to hide it. Kaname also tells her that vampires can only have their thirst quenched by drinking the blood of the one they love.
After a Year
After a year has passed Zero is revealed to be a fully-fledged hunter, although he still attends classes. He reveals to Kaien that he becomes uncontrollably thirsty at night and only hunting can distract him from madness. Kaien witnesses Zero scarfing down blood tablets and admits that although he's not falling to Level E, he's not entirely sane or insane. While confined to the Kuran Mansion for a year, Yuki is still thinking about Zero. She's shown to be suffering from thirst, too, but refuses to use her fangs to drink Kaname's blood. While at school, Yori asks Zero if he'd hurt Yuki despite her having done nothing wrong. Zero does not reply to her. Meanwhile, Yuki is thinking about her vow to run from Zero forever, or at least until one of them dies. It is revealed that she's suppressing the vampire inside her while fearing the eternity she faces and she is lonely. She reminisces about her last day with Zero and her heart's attachment and begins to thirst uncontrollably. Kaname reminds her soon after about vampires thirsts being quenched by the ones they love, and she acknowledges that her attachment to Zero means her thirst will never be entirely quenched by Kaname. An upcoming soirée means that Yuki and Zero will be reunited. Kaien and Zero discuss this and Zero states that he'll kill her when he has a legitimate reason to do so. Kaien vows to protect her from Zero even if it's wrong to do so, because they are both important to him. While getting ready, Kaname wonders if Yuki is worried about Zero's presence. Yuki responds that she knows Zero will focus on his work. At the soirée, Yuki and Zero lock eyes for the first time in a year. Zero intervenes when Sara Shirabuki comes too close to Yori, who was snuck into the party by Kaito Takamiya. Yuki finds the three of them and places her hand on Zero's arm, requesting he let go of Sara. Zero tells her coldly not to touch him, and she replies that she'll let go of him once he lets go of her. Zero lets go of Sara and drags Yori away. Behind closed doors Yuki thinks about her first touch with Zero after a year and holds her hands close to her chest. Zero is forced by Hanabusa and Kaito to accompany Yori as she goes to visit Yuki for an hour. However, he refuses to see Yuki after accompanying Yori as an escort to Yuki's room, stating he has no reason to do so. This seems to frustrate Hanabusa. After the two leave, Zero looks down at the arm Yuki touched and finds his veins pulsing. After a crime scene is uncovered and Yuki tries to involve herself, Zero coldly remarks that it's not a game and tells her to stay out of it. Yuki argues that she's not the useless Yuki from before any longer and wants to help. Ultimately, however, she is stopped by both Zero and Kaname. While discussing the crime with Hanabusa she finds out that it was easily resolved and immediately thinks about Zero. Then, after Kaname leaves for the day and leaves her Artemis to her, she reminisces on her vow to Kaname but thinks of Zero while doing so. Kaito finds the gun Zero had given Yuki under a pillow in his room and demands to know more about it. He reveals that, although the person holding that gun has gone and left the gun in his dorm, he keeps it with him to calm him down. While visiting Ichiru's grave, Zero thinks about Yuki and begins to thirst. Coincidentally, Yuki is on her way to the cemetery to visit Momoyama, the former housekeeper. She is suddenly attacked by the Pureblood Toma and is severely wounded. Zero felt Yuki's presence and made a move to find her. He suddenly was greeted by the strong scent of her blood and remembered an old feeling. The scent made him dizzy. She notices Zero is there and tries to gain composure, greeting him with a smile. Zero pulls out his gun, alarming Hanabusa, but it's revealed that his target was actually Toma. As soon as Toma leaves, Yuki collapses in Hanabusa's arms. Zero lifts Yuki over his shoulder and carries her to a society hideout with Hanabusa in tow. Through what consciousness Yuki has, she realises her body is swaying and she can recall memories with Zero's scent. She berates herself for greeting Zero in such a way. The more Yuki awakens, the more intensely she can hear Zero's blood pulsing and his scent strengthens. She pulls herself up and buries her face in Zero's neck, licking there. Before she sinks her fangs in, she comes to her senses and meets Zero's gaze. Zero remarks that she's lost a lot of blood, but lets her down at her request. Yuki thanks him and apologises for what she just did, then runs away and retreats home with Kaname's familiar. Yuki is punished by Kaname but praised only for not taking Zero's blood. Hanabusa, who is now in custody, is prompted by Zero to be upfront with what he's thinking of saying. Hanabusa states that if he were Zero, he'd keep trying to steal Yuki away from Kaname no matter how many times it took. Zero does not respond to this, but he meets Hanabusa's gaze. Hanabusa later tells Zero that he didn't mean what he said about stealing Yuki away, he just said it out of annoyance. Zero responds in anger, grabbing him by the shirt and demanded him to stop forcing her into his life, because it's not like Yuki herself asked him to do so. Hanabusa agrees and is let go, but he remarks that Zero should start acting like Yuki's enemy if he's proclaiming to be it. Zero agrees and leaves. As Yuki reaches for Kaname, Zero grips Yori's wrist - waking from what appears to be a nightmare in the stable. It's implied by Yori that he believed it was Yuki's hand reaching for him as he slept. Zero recalls the injured Yuki from the other day and it disturbs the horses. Although he assures Yori he's fine, he's shown gripping his neck with thirst. After Kaname 'murders' Nagamichi Aido and shortly before Yuki is taken into custody, Yuki compares the situation of separation to that of hers and Zero's. It was again something she could do nothing about for something she could not change.
Zero's tsundere and aggressive nature keeps him from befriending people, ensuring that Yuki is the only one close to him. Yuki's sunny, stubborn, and silly nature allows her to ignore Zero's aggression and rudeness overriding his desires with her own, inadvertently bullying him. Zero's affection for Yuki causes him to fiercely protect her and be easily directed by her. His nature is primarily shy and he does not communicate his feelings towards her, though he expresses frustration in the form of bullying her at times, causing Yuki to think he didn't like her.
Zero began developing feelings for Yuki when she took care of him during dark times after his parents died, it is thanks to Yuki that Zero did not commit suicide. It becomes noticeable within the beginning of the manga that he holds hidden feelings for his fellow guardian. Whenever Yuki makes a comment on not all vampires being bad guys and sticks up for him he blushes to which he turns his head away so she doesn't notice. When Yuki gave Zero one of the few chocolates that turn out edible for Valentine's Day he eats the chocolate and despite disliking the flavor he is shown blushing to receive chocolate from her. At the beginning, Yuki holds no hesitation in dealing with Zero whenever he walks around shirtless or acts cold towards her. She responds heatedly to these actions and while she looks embarrassed in front of other males who show flirty mannerisms with her, Aido and sometimes Kaname, with Zero she is much more relaxed. She often teases Zero whenever he starts acting moody and isn't hesitant in reprimanding him for being unfriendly to the Day Class girls.
After Zero turns into a vampire, despite her fear of the creatures who almost caused her death ten years prior, she reminds herself that despite what people say Zero isn't a scary person though he tries to be. Whenever Zero takes blood from her to ease his hunger she becomes curious as to why he desires only her blood and almost constantly hungers for it, this question often bothers Zero and he tells her not to worry about it (due to his refusal to admit he's becoming the creature he hates and his hidden feelings for her).
Not until 20th Night, when Zero asks Yuki why she does so much for him, does Yuki begin to actually think about their relationship and how she views Zero, though no conclusion is shown from this. Yuki was almost oblivious to Zero's affection for her until 25th Night after he almost kisses her, it is speculated that from this point that she begins to notice Zero in a different manner. However, she is still uncertain about his feelings, and chooses to not look too deeply into things as of right now.
On the 35th Night, Yuki's origins as a Pureblood vampire are finally revealed as Kaname awakens the sleeping princess. Yuki has just remembered her heritage as a Pureblood Princess when Zero comes across the two of them due to the smell of Yuki's blood. When Yuki reveals the truth, Zero is clearly distraught, torn between shooting them or not. Kaname takes an unconscious Yuki away in order for her to finish the process of turning into a Pureblood vampire, while Zero numbly absorbs the information of Yuki's origins as a creature he should despise. When Yuki fully turns into a Pureblood vampire and recalls her past on the 36th Night, Kaname leaves to take care of business when Yuki smells blood. She is horrified, though is relieved when she realizes it's not Zero's. After realizing how relieved she is that he is safe, she is surprised with how concerned she was.
Following Zero's kiss in 46th Night, Yuki is finally made aware of Zero's feelings for her. Yuki confirms in 47th Night that she finally understands his earlier overtures, but due to Zero's hatred of Pureblood vampires, Yuki knows their relationship has changed. Zero tells her as she begins to depart with Kaname that he will still continue his quest to eradicate all Pureblood vampires; Yuki comments that she understands and that is why she will become his enemy so he will always have an enemy to go after. After Yuki and Zero reach their agreement, she wanders off and breaks down sobbing since she does not wish to become his enemy, and now realizes his true feelings for her. However, she bottles this up since they both are enemies and as a Pureblood vampire, she cannot break down sobbing over a lost ally.
The timeline in Memories starts when the main characters are in middle school, where Yori is the narrator. From Yori's perspective, we are told that Kaname is the reason Yuki does not have any friends, but she seems fond of him regardless. As this is revealed, Zero comes into the picture and Yori notices his look of 'irritation and something else'. She expresses excitement at watching the trio's relationship develop, but never imagined that things would end up as they did - with Kaname throwing his heart to the furnace and the events that followed soon after.
When Zero asks how much longer Yuki will stand at the ice coffin, as it has been two months, she lunges at Zero. He urges Yori to leave, and hidden from view she finds out that Yuki is starving for blood because of her pregnancy, something revealed by Zero to her. He reaffirms his position in her life, telling her that he is the only one who can be her partner and that she must stop looking as though she wants to be in the ice coffin with Kaname. Yori is shown to be shocked by this news, and reveals that Yuki left the academy shortly after finding out about her pregnancy.
During the development of Aido and Yori's relationship, while Yuki is still pregnant, Zero informs Aido that he is, in fact, supplying both Yuki and her child with blood when visiting her. Yori reveals that Yuki disappeared for four years, staying instead at Ruka's summerhouse. She believes that, rather than doing it for the sake of keeping everyone safe, Yuki was doing this because she questioned Zero's reliability - despite his pledge to her before. Aido also questions Yuki's motives, because Zero would have been able to quench her thirst. Zero quietly arrives as they argue about his type of personality and why this may be off-putting to Yuki, and shortly after Yuki herself bursts into the room with her new baby.
With Zero watching in the background, everyone else gathers around and makes a fuss of the baby. Yuki then turns to Zero and thanks him for coming, noting that he is busy. Zero smiles slightly as he reaches for the baby, saying that she is the one who made Yuki attack him out of hunger. The baby, named Ai, grabs Zero's finger and Yuki smiles from the bottom of her heart once again. Zero also smiles warmly because of this, something Yori makes note of in Zero's last visit to her before her death. Following Ai's birth, Zero becomes a prominent figure in the lives of both her and her mother. Yuki comments on how that fateful night when she'd met Zero had left him with a purpose in his life for revenge only, and that his eyes had gleamed sinisterly. However, Ai's birth has given Zero lots of heartfelt smiles. He is shown holding and cradling Ai as Yuki smiles on, wishing that he would feel this warmth 'from now on and forever'.
When Ai is a toddler, it's revealed that Zero and Yuki still drink from one another. While Zero is drinking Yuki's blood, he tells Yuki something that leads Ai to ask Aido whether he likes or loves Yori. It is also revealed that Ai considers Zero as her father, although she knows Kaname is also her father too. Zero later clarifies to Aido that he told Yuki that he thinks he's in love again after all this time. A blushing Aido asks for what happens next and Zero reveals that Yuki hugged him tightly and patted his head, the way a mother would her child. Aido reassures Zero that it's still love and wishes him good luck.
While Ai is still a toddler, although a bit older this time around, she appears to be in full swing of rooting for progression in Zero and Yuki's relationship. In an exchange diary between her and Zero, she tells Zero that it's now his chance with Yuki and to do his best. Zero is visibly uncomfortable with this, expressing guilt that he acknowledges he shouldn't feel. His future self narrates that he had no idea of knowing he and Yuki would announce their relationship to everyone, only having to do this because of people who, like Ai and Yori, wanted to know about the progression of their relationship. At this point in time, Yori and Aido are in a relationship and are looking to get married one day. As Yori is a human, it complicates things for Aido, who feels it inappropriate to marry before his boss. She seems frustrated by the fact that Zero and Yuki are in a lull of sorts, but quickly snaps out of it, explaining her worry about becoming old if she keeps waiting because of Aido's reluctance due to Zero and Yuki's lack of progression. Before parting ways, she smiles at Zero and tells him that she's rooting for him and Yuki. Zero smiles warmly and thanks her. However, Yori wonders as Zero walks away with a cluster of girls following behind if it'd be okay for her to root for Yuki.
