Shizuka & Yuki

This page is for the relationship between Shizuka Hio and Yuki Kuran.

Background
Shizuka enrolls into Cross Academy as Maria and meets Yuki Kuran, who she notices is a very delicious and healthy looking person. Yuki shows 'Maria' around the campus and 'Maria' admits to her weakness and fears of the other vampires to Yuki's surprise. Maria's sweet persona disappears when she goes to class with the Night Class and immediately starts alienating the students so she excuses herself.

'Maria' finds Zero and Yuki, Zero sensing something not right, pulls out his Bloody Rose and points it at 'Maria', Yuki stands in front of Maria and demands to know whats going on, Zero backs down in confusion. Yuki apologizes to 'Maria' who thanks her and hopes they can be friends.

Afterwards, Zero and Yuki see Takuma chasing 'Maria' around the school campus. Yuki was about to go after them, but Zero stops her and warns her to stay away from 'Maria'.

Zero takes Hanabusa aside to talk about Maria as Yuki flees a hoard of jealous girls, leaving Zero and Hanabusa behind. Yuki escapes by jumping onto the terrace, where she meets Takuma. Takuma explains that he lost sight of her after when the Day Class girls were chasing after him, why he’s tagging after 'Maria' and describes the Night Class’s loyalty to Kaname.

Presently, Zero and Yuki are on duty for the Night Class, but the evening is quiet due to upcoming exams. Maria reaches out to Yuki’s face, but Zero pulls Yuki back. 'Maria' then smiles.

Yuki realizes that Maria is the reason why Zero has been acting all strange recently and runs after him. Zero faces down Maria but can’t kill her. She says he can’t kill his master, who made him a vampire. She tries to kiss him, but he jerks back. She and Zero fight. Alarmed, Yuki calls his name, but Kaname puts her asleep.

Meeting at twilight, 'Maria' uses a scratch from her cat familiar to unlock Yuki’s memories of last night and offers her a deal. She'll tell how to save Zero from becoming a level E if Yuki will do something for her; she has two options.

Elsewhere, Yuki struggles with Maria’s proposal; she visits Zero’s empty room, thinking of Zero’s isolation and Kaname’s kindness.

Kaname hugs Yuki, saying that he only wanted to protect her. Yuki makes her decision about 'Maria'’s bargain and runs off.

Yuki returns to Maria during the ball and agrees to give herself to Shizuka in exchange for her help. Maria is pleased, assuming this would be Yuki's choice. Shizuka returns to her own body and tells Yuki that Zero only needs to drink his master's blood, he won't fall to Level E. Before Shizuka can drink from Yuki, Zero comes in and pulls out his gun. Yuki shields her, telling Zero he must drink Shizuka’s blood to save himself. Zero is disbelieving and says that he can still beat Shizuka within an inch of her life, but stops because Yuki starts crying. Yuki tries to stop him with his bracelet at which Shizuka expresses annoyance that he is tamed by Yuki. Zero is frozen by his master's voice and begins to obey her commands to hold Yuki. Shizuka then drinks from Zero again as punishment. As she goes to drink from Yuki, Zero stops her, grabbing Shizuka's throat, he shoots himself in the leg to break free of her control and refuses to let Shizuka take any more from him and manages to shoot Shizuka. Shizuka laughs as Yuki tries to hold Zero back. Zero moves to attack her again and is stopped by her bodyguard, whom Zero realizes is his twin Ichiru. Shizuka leaves during the distraction to recover from her wounds.

All the vampires smell spilt blood, and Ichiru realizes that it’s Shizuka's. He leaves to find her. Zero tries following but Yuki hugs him and says she doesn't want him to perish with Shizuka as he planned. He pushes her away gently and says it’s different now, he will come back.

Dreaming, Yuki sees Shizuka in the room; Yuki hears Shizuka explain her feelings for Ichiru, the boy who had been similar to her.
