80th Night

The Crowd That Has Her Weapon is the eightieth chapter of the Vampire Knight manga.

Summary
A flashback of Ruka who asks Kaname if he is to eliminate every single pureblood, then what about Yuki, whom he holds in his arms in the underground mausoleum. Kaname replies that she'll become a hindrance which infuriates Ruka since she can't understand how he could say something like that to someone he cherishes so much. She claims Kaname is pitiful since he couldn't just leave Yuki at the Academy and be happy that she'd be safe. While foreseeing his cruelty to Yuki, Ruka decided to become his apprentice.

Meanwhile, Akatsuki carries Ruka away from Aido and she says that Aido would understand and that they did not have to escape from him. Akatsuki disagrees, stating he doesn't want Ruka to become even more tired. Ruka doesn't want to be treated like a weak woman and tells him although she's exhausted with "what" she's helping with, she doesn't need him to worry about her.

Ruka then casts an illusion so that the students in the Sun Dorms fall into a deep sleep, safe from all the perilous activity outside. Three Day class students appear from the shadows and that's when Kasumi Kageyama recognizes Ruka's long hair, and his strong affections for her bring back his memory. Ruka blushes when she sees that he remembered her due to his strong feelings for her.
