Zero almost succumbs to drinking her blood while she's sleeping, Kaname witnesses the scene. Kaname tells Zero that the only reason why he's letting him live is because Zero won't betray her.

Zero impulsively pulls his gun out at her, having flashbacks about the woman who turned him into a vampire.
