I couldn't stop myself.
I may end up killing my next prey...
I'll protect you.
I'll be your ally Zero.
This is a spell used by Vampire Hunters long ago
to tame vampires.
The bracelet I gave you, Yuki, and this tattoo work together.
Zero!
He's fine. He's fine.
It just immobilized him for a bit.
Yuki, if Kiryu tries to bite anyone again, stop him.
It's on that condition that
Kaname agreed to let Kiryu remain in Day Class.
Kaname agreed?
Kaname just couldn't turn down dear Yuki's request, I guess.
I'm sorry...
I really don't like doing things like this.
So please settle for this.
And if you still crave blood...
My blood is all yours...
So, you can move now Kiryu?
Zero!
- Umm... - It's okay...
This is fine...
Not fine...
Yuki, watch over Kiryu. Otherwise. That man will...
That man?
Trembling in red in red in red
To the edge of the dream of the dream
Every time I'm stifled to death after I give up so many times
These feelings that have no place to go awake me
Your innocent smile knows it's a cruel existence
Because of the distance
Even if this incurable wound corrodes my heart
I can't refrain these thoughts that dwell within the darkness
Trembling in red in red in red
To the edge of the dream of the dream
We met and now the wheels of destiny are turning
A secret that no one knows
I fall I fall I fall
I can't go back even if I carve out my sins
I'm sure of that

Zero... Is he playing hooky?
Who can blame him? After what was done to him...
Kaname agreed...
To allow Zero to remain in Day Class...
It's dear Yuki's request...
Kaname...
The fact that another bit into the girl I hold very dear.
I will protect Zero... That's what I've decided.
Hurry, Yori!
Yuki!
Safe!
Did... something happen?
Cross, did you know that the new ethics lecturer is coming?
Huh? At this time of the year?
I caught a glimpse of him...
It appears you've already heard about me.
I am Toga Yagari
and I'm taking over the ethics class from today.
Nice to meet you all.
He's pretty cool.
Yeah... But he's sorta...
Zero?
Instead of an introductory speech, I'll accept questions.
Professor, are you single?
Yes...
Do you have a girlfriend?
You like personal questions, don't you?
- What are your hobbies? - Are you a strong fighter?
- Have you kissed already? - How about UFOs?
Do you like younger girls?
S-Say, wait your turn. And raise your hands first!
Umm...
Yes, you!
The right side of your face...
Is that the latest fashion trend?
Zero?
Sir! Umm... as the duty of the Disciplinary Committee,
I'll bring him back!
This was in compensation... for a life.
Zero! Wait up!
Come on. Zero!
Being sent on an errand by the Headmaster has its perks, huh?
Not really.
Oh, Zero, this way! This way!
This... feels like the way it used to be.
Right. Zero is Zero.
Even though he's awakened as a vampire.
I'm digging in!
I wanted to eat salt-ramen.
But I love the sundaes at this shop.
I came with Yori the other day...
Say, Zero?
Huh?
Do you know that teacher?
Oh, it's all right. You don't have to answer...
But, he's kind of scary...
No, he's actually...
Excuse me...
Are you a member of the Night Class at Cross Academy?
So you are!
I knew it right away.
You're different from the others...
- U-Umm... - People in that elite class are exceptional...
- Excuse me... - There's a boy named Aido,
isn't there?
He likes sweets.
- So he stops by once in a while... - I'll be waiting outside.
All right.
So I... exude the same scent as them.
Zero? Thanks for waiting. Are you okay?
Zero?
Where'd he go? That Zero...
Ow... Darn it! I hate this.
Your blood... smells nice.
Let me drink... it all.
Don't just stand there, Yuki!
Zero!
It seems Artemis Rod doesn't like me to use it...
He's a... Level E?
Ichijo... Shiki...
All done.
I wasn't really needed here...
Why are you two doing this?
If you're curious...
Come to the Moon Dormitory tonight.
Huh?
I'll tell you all about it...
The reason why we dealt with the Level E.
Perhaps... I really didn't understand anything yet.
The long tragic history which binds humans and vampires...
I knew it.
Zero!
It's useless to try to stop me.
No. I'm going too.
Huh?
It's a pistol I borrowed from the Headmaster...
An anti-vampire weapon...
The Night Class members are all good people.
We don't need a gun.
Don't get me wrong.
Huh?
If at any time,
I lose the "human" part of me and go berserk...
...use this.
I can't do such a thing...
Besides, if I need to stop you,
I have the spell that the Headmaster taught me...
The spell is only effective for now.
But after seeing the Level E, you should understand...
One day, without fail, "that day" will come.
When it does. Yuki. I want you to...
...kill me.
All right. I will comply with your request.
But, you know, I don't think "that day" will come...
I don't want to believe that it will!
Promise me.
That you'll do everything you can to fight it!
So that I won't need to use this pistol.
You're both awfully rough.
Aido... Kain...
We came to escort you
under orders from the Vice-Dorm President.
Can you put that dangerous thing away?
Welcome to the Moon Dormitory...
The two of us will be your escorts.
They came...
What for?
Forget it.
The true face of the vampire... is here.
This way.
Huh?
Welcome, Yuki, Kiryu.
I'm having my birthday party tonight.
Please have fun.
Oh. We didn't come here to play.
I wanted to hear about what happened today.
Oh...
Umm... Why did you destroy the Level E?
He was a vampire too... So why?
We are not the same as them.
Huh?
Yuki, the vampire society is ruled by several Purebloods
and a handful of aristocrats.
Everyone in the Night Class are ranked nobles or higher.
Below that is the average vampire.
And below them are vampires who were once human. And...
And those who don't even make the ranks...
are known as Level E.
The vampires who were once human lose their will little by little,
ultimately degenerating into Level E...
The END... Degeneration and destruction...
We are totally different from vampires who were once human.
Please don't lump us together.
That's a cruel way to put it...
None of them wanted to become a Level E.
In the first place, you...
And that's why we must oversee them.
Before they hunger for blood
and grab the nearest person they can find.
I ordered it.
Huh?!
I told Ichijo and Shiki to hunt down that Level E today.
You did. Kaname?
Yuki... I'm surprised that
you would come to such a dangerous place
simply because Ichijo told you to.
I wanted to confirm it for myself.
For yourself, huh?
Come over here, Yuki and Kiryu.
Yuki. Sit next to me.
Huh?
Would you?
It's all right.
Yuki...
Huh?
Next to me is the safest place.
Umm... I-I've been wanting to thank you.
In all honesty, they shouldn't be born...
vampires who were once human.
But ages ago... In the back pages of history,
when the battle between vampires and Vampire Hunters was at its worst...
Many humans were forced into the vampire side for "military power."
Ever since, vampires who are ranked nobles or higher
have had the duty of overseeing once-human vampires.
On occasion. That means ending their lives.
It is the duty of the Vampire Hunter to hunt vampires.
Then why didn't you kill that Level E first?
That's the injury you sustained?
I will... erase the pain for you.
Huh?
K-Kaname!
Did you, perhaps... sympathize with him, Kiryu?
Seiren... It's all right.
I'm the one who said something I shouldn't have.
Pointing a gun at Lord Kaname...
Tearing you apart limb by limb is too good a punishment.
I won't do that.
As long as we're here in this academy.
I don't want to shatter Headmaster Cross's ideals of peace.
But do not forget...
We vampires are here at this academy
solely due to the presence of the Pureblood. Lord Kaname.
You are a Pureblood... Kaname?
The same as the ones who... attacked Zero's family...
and Zero?
Your expression tells me
it's the first time you've heard this, Yuki.
Are you afraid?
I've always been... a bit afraid of you... Kaname.
Even now... Although just a little bit.
Hello! Please don't forget, everyone.
It's my birthday today! Celebrate me, please.
Yuki and Zero are my special guests.
It's been four years...
I never thought I would still see him alive.
The one in the photo with him is my Yuki.
She's very capable.
I've given Yuki and Zero the task
of keeping an eye on the Night Class.
A level E wandered into town today.
Hmm... You did your job?
No... Someone beat me to it.
My, my... I wonder who it was... that saved the town.
Don't play dumb.
I know that it was someone from the Night Class.
They call it duty, but they just see it as a sport.
We the Vampire Hunters are the only true hunters of vampires.
But it is forbidden to kill them without reason.
Besides, why have you come here?
You're not the type to obey anything the Hunter's Society's orders.
It's for the oath I made...
That passionate oath we made to each other...
Oww!
Come to think of it it doesn't hurt anymore.
Could it be due to Kaname's power?
Kaname... is different from me.
He's from a different world.
The air in here is...
Shiki. Shall we cut it?
Yeah...
Hold it for me, Ichijo.
Oh...
You cut me...
I'm sorry... What a waste.
Shiki. I have no intention of serving myself.
Kaname. I...
Yuki. Want to dance with me?
Oh. I...
Is it all right to let her go?
Yuki... will eventually come to me.
I didn't like... the air in there.
I'm sure Zero too...
It's so insipid... Compared to real blood...
A once-human vampire...
Once in a while. There are dangerous ones...
who aren't able to take the tablet.
Zero!
Zero, are you all right?
That's?
Are you unable to drink it? Haven't you been drinking it?
It's no use...
I've tried so many times to drink it...
Then Zero is...
Ouch.
It hurts. Zero...
I must stop him...
I must...
I must stop Zero!
Huh?!
Zero!
Little did I imagine that
I would get rid of my dear pupil with this gun.
Die resenting me, vampire!
Mas... ter...
Hi Miss Alice.
With your eyes made of glass
What dreams
Can you see?
Are you consumed by?
Once again my
Soul's been ripped apart
Pouring out
From the seam of my patches
Piercing
Are memories
Still you do not answer
Next time: "Their Choices"
