PlotYuki Cross's earliest memory is of a snowy night in winter, when she was attacked by
an evil Level E vampire and was saved by Kaname, Kaname Kuran. Yuuki is the adopted
daughter of the Headmaster of Cross Academy, Kaien Cross, who is an ex-vampire hunter
that now wishes for vampires and humans to live alongside peacefully. She has grown up
and become a prefect for the school which has one main purpose: for vampires to coexist
peacefully with humans. Her fellow guardian and childhood companion, Zero Kiryu, whose
parents were killed by a pure-blood vampire, is now determined to kill them all and refuses
to trust them. Zero himself is now manifesting vampire traits, having been turned into a
vampire after he was bitten by the vampire who attacked his family, Shizuka Hio, four years
earlier.
Yuuki tries to help him fight his bloodlust while also seeking to recover the memories she lost.
As the series progresses, Zero's thirst for blood leads to his drinking from Yuki, by her consent,
to avoid becoming a level E vampire and losing himself to his monstrous instincts. To stop this,
Kaname gives Zero his own "pure" blood, even though the only way for an ex-human to become
a truly "stabilized" vampire is to drink the blood of the one who bit them in the first place. However,
since Kaname is a pure blood, his own blood helps keep Zero from going insane and from needing
to feed from Yuki.
Eventually, it is revealed that Yuuki is a pure blood vampire herself and the fiance of Kaname. It is
also revealed that Kaname is Yuuki's elder brother and they spent their childhood together. Actually,
Kaname is not Yuuki's blood brother, but the ancient ancestor of the Kuran family resurrected by
Rido Kuran. To save Yuki from being killed by Rido Kuran, their uncle, her mother had sealed her
memories shortly before her own death and put Yuuki under a spell so she could live as a human
and avoid being found. After Yuuki reawakens to her vampire nature, Rido again tries to kill her.
As Kaname kills the corrupt vampire senate, Yuuki fights Rido. During a fierce battle, Zero aids her
in killing him, but later on tells her he will have to kill her when he sees her once again. She tells him
that she will keep running, so that he will have a reason to live.
