It's my fault... I'm sorry about your eye, Master.
You told me to run, yet I...
Huh?
Are you trying to make me regret throwing myself to protect you?
Honestly...
Oh...
I didn't save you so you could look at me like that.
Master...
Why do vampires... hurt people?
Because they are pitiful creatures who cannot control their instinct.
That is why we hunt them.
That is why Vampire Hunters exist.
Zero, now do you understand?
Vampires can only be our foes.
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
Their Choices
Zero!
Even if it's just a graze, the pain is excruciating, isn't it?
That's because the bullet has an anti-vampire spell embedded in it.
Zero...
Even if you are hungry for blood,
do you still have enough reason to resign to your fate?
Huh?!
Hmm...
Mr. Yagari... I don't know what you are to Zero...
But please don't decide Zero's fate arbitrarily!
I won't let Zero die!
You believe that he hasn't degenerated to Level E yet?
Yuki...
Huh?
It's okay...
That's as far as you go!
I came because I was worried and look!
That's why I hate Vampire Hunters.
Just how long do you intend to keep the girl in that cold water?
You poor thing. Here, grab my hand.
Err... huh?
Just who are you?
I was Zero's master when he was a Vampire Hunter.
Isn't that so. Zero?
Yes.
You're the daughter of that fool headmaster, all right.
You were about to be bitten by Zero.
Yet you consider me the foe rather than him?
I'll take over here. Yuki, go back to the dorm.
The Headmaster said I needn't worry. But...
If he's unable to take the tablet then Zero's body will...
...continue to hunger for blood.
His heart will be eaten away...
And if left unchecked
Zero will undoubtedly degenerate into a Level E.
Yuki?
Did I wake you? I'm sorry.
Say, Yuki... Is it something that I can help you with?
This thing that's been troubling you lately...
Oh...
Yuki... It's okay...
It's okay...
Yuki...
Zero hasn't come...
All right, move back! Move back!
Day Class students, please go back to your dorms quickly!
Hmm?
What happened to Zero?
Have you done something to him?
It goes without saying. I've put him in isolation.
Isolation?
He is at the point where he could bare his fangs at any moment.
This is so that he doesn't claim any victims before I can deal with him.
But Zero is okay, isn't he?
Where is he?
Let go of me. I have more pressing matters to attend to.
That fool of a headmaster is such a pain in the neck.
He told me to teach ethics to the Night Class too.
Oh. Wait!
You just keep doing your job.
I haven't seen Kiryu today.
For his own good...
...perhaps you should reconsider his transfer to the Night Class.
Isn't there anything I can do?
I'm Toga Yagari, your ethics teacher starting today.
Nice to meet you all, vampires.
Yagari? That's the name of the number one Vampire Hunter right now.
So he's the one behind last night's gunfire.
Rest assured. Class.
Now. I'm an excellent teacher with proper certification.
And you intend to spy on the Night Class from now?
Or, is there a vampire among us you want to kill... Mr. Yagari?
Hello. Kaname Kuran.
Regrettably, my execution list is empty right now.
But if you fall asleep during my lecture,
I can add you on.
How dare you say that to Lord Kaname!
Ruka. Cut it out.
I'll be careful, Mr. Yagari.
Humph...
Any questions?
Well then... that's all for today.
That's some greeting.
I'm going to keep this.
As a memento of having vampires for students.
Oh...
You're still here?
I'm staying put until you tell me where Zero is.
Oh...
There's nothing more a good girl like you can do.
But if you still insist on seeing him...
Go right ahead...
He's in the Headmaster's guest room.
Zero...
Yu-ki...
How did you?
How can you stay here so obediently?
There's no lock on this door. And yet, you...
Go away.
Why?! How can you just listen to that man?
The Kiryu family has been Vampire Hunters for generations.
My parents were Vampire Hunters too.
There was a period when my parents were away a lot.
And he was our guardian and our teacher.
And looked after me and my kid brother.
It was during that time...
...that I saw what they call a Level E vampire.
The head nurse at our grade school was very kind and pretty.
But in actuality, she was a vampire who was once human.
One day, she transformed into a raging vampire
before our very eyes.
Please stop! She's actually a good person!
It was then...
as she continued to bare her fangs
despite her throat being crushed...
until the moment she died... that for the first time.
I felt real fear towards vampires.
My master risked his own safety in order to teach me such things.
So if he says he must kill me, then I...
No! That's not it! The truth is...
Zero, you're just ready to give up on everything!
You entrusted me with that horrible weapon...
So don't you go running away all by yourself!
Let me in.
Yuki... what are you?
No one will notice us in here.
Continue where you left off yesterday...
Huh?!
Yuki is kind. So...
I realized that this is the one thing I can do for you.
What are you saying?!
This is the best thing to do!
Zero...
...drink my blood.
It will ease the pain... Even if it's just for now.
Stop... please! I'd never forgive myself.
I know what I'm doing.
I'm sorry...
Let's do...
...the one thing we mustn't do... together.
I'm afraid... Vampires will eat me...
I'm afraid...
Zero, are you all right?
This is... really shameful.
Even though I hate vampires...
Even though I don't want to hurt anyone...
I can't stop this craving for blood.
Just give up on me already.
You know, don't you?
This is no different from the tablet...
This will just tide me over...
until I acquire a taste for your blood.
Give up on you? What a cruel thing to say...
I'll keep my promise to you over and over again.
I said I'd "stop you," didn't I?
Even if you refuse, even if you hate me for it,
no matter how often it takes...
I will tame that beast inside you, Zero.
You are not a Level E. As if I'd let you die!
So you can hate vampires and me as well...
At least, we won't be giving up!
How could I hate you?
Huh?
Are you all right?
Huh? Oh yes, I'm okay. I don't even feel faint.
I'm fine... I'm my usual self.
And I'll be in school as usual too.
Nothing will change.
So Zero. Come to school tomorrow too. Promise me!
There was something we both knew yet left unsaid.
For a human to use one's own blood...
...to sustain the existence of a vampire... was a sin.
We are doing something unforgivable...
No one must ever find out.
Where have you been, Yuki?
Huh? What happened to classes for the Night Class?
They ended and everyone has gone back to the dorm.
I had business with the Headmaster.
Is that so.
The ends of your hair are wet. Did you wash away something?
There's no way he wouldn't notice. Not him.
Don't look! Don't look at Zero's bite marks!
Kaname...
When did you stop... talking to me about everything?
I hope that what you are trying to protect...
does not end up hurting you.
You should go to bed.
I made up my mind that I will not regret what I made Zero do...
Yet why... does my heart hurt so much?
The vampire holds her so gently in his arms...
I don't care why you give that girl special treatment...
But surely you've noticed what she has done.
You must be consumed by rage...
And yet, you are as complacent as an honor student.
And that bothers me.
What's your purpose? Why don't you tear Zero apart?
So that I don't lose her. That's why.
Next is ethics...
You should be coming to class Zero.
Please come and show me that you're all right Zero.
Why are the windows still closed?
How is your right shoulder?
Huh?
Even if it wasn't a vital spot,
you were shot with an anti-vampire gun.
You may have the regenerative powers of a vampire,
but it will still take time to heal...
As long as you don't drink the blood of a human...
Huh?!
Class President, is it self-study?
I wasn't told anything!
Mr. Yagari is late!
Yuki?
I was so stupid!
I shouldn't have left Zero alone!
Stop Zero!
So you've decided not to wait for me to kill you?
Geez... Don't you remember?
That you'd "never let me regret losing my right eye" to save your life.
That day, you pledged an oath to me.
Looking at you just now, I really thought of killing you.
I don't recall saving such a spoiled kid...
who wants to take the easy way out.
Struggle until you can't struggle anymore.
You just chose a life stained with blood.
Don't try to run away... Zero.
You, little girl.
Wh-What is it?
If he goes on a rampage again, you stop him.
Going easy on him will only get you hurt.
Unless you let him have it with a bullet.
He won't stop completely.
But in contrast, it's better for him that way.
What you do after that is all up to you.
Then when you shot him back at the pool?
I could have finished him off with one bullet. If I wanted to.
As if I'd miss at that range.
You've got to be kidding. Wouldn't happen.
Zero...
"That woman."
It seems she's still alive.
That woman?
Zero... I really thought you were going to die.
Yuki...
I won't run away, so don't cry anymore.
I... don't regret a thing...
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: "The Scarlet Maze"
