88th Night

Determination at Age 17 is the eighty eighth chapter in the Vampire Knight manga.

Summary
Yuki and Zero chase after Kaname who appears before Isaya, who knew he'd eventually become a target anyway. He tells Kaname the remaining purebloods will be difficult to annihilate with so few remaining weapons. Kaname reveals he can't turn Yuki human any longer since he will become the new ''parent metal. ''Rima and Senri block Yuki and Zero from disturbing Isaya and Kaname's private conversation, Isaya seems to promise Kaname he will turn Yuki human when the time is ripe. Kaname escapes with Rima, Senri and Takuma as Zero sees it's nearly impossible to stop Kaname if all he does is escape before they can catch him.

Later, Zero gets dressed as Yuki recalls the night a year ago, when Zero rejected a girl who asked to dance with him, and wonders aloud what would it have been like if they met as humans. She would've seen Zero as her senpai, who would've still been enemies with Kaname. She would have cared and treated Zero's wound the night before the dance saying fighting isn't good and wonders if anything would've happened after that. Yuki wonders what the 17 year old Yuki would've done. Zero replies she's wrong and that they never would've met if they were human. Yuki then bites Zero and sees he still loves her and takes away his memories of her since she's going after Kaname to turn him human.
