The Love Triangle

Outline
Yuki has love for both Kaname and Zero, and they both love her. Kaname and Zero have a fundamental antagonism towards each other because they are inherently enemies. Kaname occasionally expresses a little jealousy over Yuki's attachment to Zero.

Summary
Yuki has loved Kaname since she was a child as a human. When it is discovered that she is a pureblood vampire, it also revealed that Kaname is her older brother and that they had pledged to marry each other to be like their parents. Currently she is his fiance.Not As a human, she falls in love with him and Zero constantly reminds her that she cannot be with Kaname. She also has a strong attachment to Zero, which helps her overcome her fear of being bitten so that she can offer her own blood to him in the form of a "forbidden act." Their bond is so strong that Kaname does not kill him, in concern for Yuki's emotions afterwards.

In the aftermath of the Shizuka incident, Zero asks Yuuki what he means to her. Yuuki has no response for him, and never truly answers his question. Kaname soon after confesses his love for her, and she later agrees to become Kaname's lover in exchange for information about her past.

Yuuki eventually confesses to Zero that she used him to make herself feel better about her past. Zero tells her that the one she needs is Kaname, not him. Shortly after, Kaname turns her back into a vampire, revealing that he was her brother and betrothed all along.

Yuuki and Kaname argue over whether or not they should leave during Rido's attack on the academy, and Yuuki convinces Kaname to let her go with a kiss, promising to return to him when she is done. She and Zero fight and kill Rido together.

After the death of Rido, Zero declares Yuki his enemy, though he admits she's done nothing wrong, and threatens to kill her and all vampires. When Kaname arrives on the scene, Zero shifts his attention to it, they attack one another until Yuki runs in between them. Kaname admits the desire to kill Zero but cannot stand the idea of Yuki hating him. He walks away telling Yuki that she knows where she belongs.

Yuki confesses to Zero that the old Yuuki he knows and the "new her" are merging together, and that her mind is filled with the desire to drink Kaname's blood. Zero admits his own desire to drink only Yuki's blood and devour her life. He bites her and then kisses her for the first time.

While parting, Zero makes sure Yuuki is free of her worries and fears, then says she should be with the man who will live as long as her, and that if they ever cross paths again, he will kill her. Yuuki declares she will run from him forever, so that he will live on, and they part. Yuki rejoins Kaname at the Kuran mansion and he tells her that he understands that half her heart belongs to Zero and that he is happy with that since she is at his side. Yuki doesn't believe that Kaname can be happy with simply that.

During the 1 year time skip, Yuki is kept inside the house while she deals with her inability to bite and desperate hunger. Yuki finally admits to Zero also being in her heart, thus her hunger/thirst cannot be quench by Kaname alone. Yuki then asked if its alright for her to stay by Kaname's side. Kaname readily agrees since Yuki wants to be with him always. He impresses upon her that he cannot be without her and would rather die. Yuki later apologizes for what she said and that she can clearly see her path.

Prior to the ball, Kaname expresses a little jealousy over Yuki's trust in Zero to do his duty, but is fine with Yuki meeting up with Zero. During the ball, Yuuki attempts to stop a fight breaking out between Zero and Sara over Yori. Zero lashes out at her, and takes Yori away before she can speak much to either of them. Later that evening, Yuuki finds Zero and Kaien standing over the dead body of a dead Hunter girl. When Zero tries to shut her down, she firmly declares that she will find the culprit before Kaname interrupts and sends her home.

Yuuki decides after the ball to offer her services to the other Purebloods as a grim reaper of sorts--mostly due to Kaname telling her about the fates of vampires as well as her memories of both Kaname and Zero placing their lives in her hands. After meeting the first Pureblood on the list, she decides to take a short stop to visit a grave. Aidou tags along so he can protect her.

At the graveyard entrance, the Pureblood Touma attacks her, and afterward Zero appears. He fends off Touma, and then carries Yuuki to a hunter safehouse when she faints. Yuuki, half-conscious, nearly bites Zero, but stops herself. In shock, she asks Kaname's bats to take her home, leaving Zero in the dust.

Following the near-bite incident, Kaname tells Yuki that she was good in that she refrained from biting Zero and drains quite a bit of her blood. He then reveals to her that he is her ancestor, not her brother, and proceeds to have her dig deep into his memories to learn about his true self.

Yuuki, after learning about Kaname's past, informs him that though she now fully knows who and what he is, she would like to restart with him. Kaname agrees, and then heads out on a mysterious errand, despite Yuuki begging him not to go. Yuuki chases after him, only to arrive just as he executes Aidou's father Nagamichi. Kaname cryptically informs Yuuki that, although he wavered over the time he spent with her, he has chosen to execute his original plan. He apologizes and thanks her, then vanishes.

Yuuki tries to give chase but is stopped by Kaien Cross, her adopter/father, who takes her back to the Hunter Association. There, she decides to follow after Kaname once she's established herself among the vampires. She restarts the Night Class in an attempt to form allies while worrying over Zero falling to Level E again.

In an attempt to catch a vampire, she catches him with her scythe, Artemis, until the vampire's girlfriend appears with a knife on Yuki's neck. Zero then appears with the Bloody Rose, shoots and finishes the vampire off. His girlfriend abruptly faints onto the ground. Zero then states that she should submit him to her with the bracelet that she is still wearing. Later, Maria interrogates Yuki with the question that she doesn't want Zero anymore and claims that she will snatch Zero away one day.
