Yuki & Kaname



As the first year Day Class student and school guardian at Cross Academy, Yuuki Cross shows a strong personality. The bond Yuuki develops towards Kaname Kuran is deep and important to her. She doesn’t seem shocked when she learns Kaname is a Pureblood, she thinks it won’t change her opinion of him. After all, she admires and idolizes him. Kaname loves Yuuki more than anything in the world. He is always protecting Yuuki and deems her as the most important person in the world to him. He has said many times that Yuuki is “his dear girl”. Juri and Haruka were said to have committed suicide, but Kaname reveals that they were really murdered. When they died, Kaname was forced into the care of Asato Ichijo. But he just wants to use Kaname for his own purposes. This made Kaname ditch his guards and run away from it often. When Kaname had saved Yuuki from a Level E when she was 6 years old, he brought her to his friend Chairman Cross. The Chairman handed her a plate of pudding, but she just sniffed and poked it. Kaname picked up the spoon and tried to feed her, but when he tried to do so, Yuuki saw his fangs. She reached up with her fingers and touched them. She became scared as she remembered the Level E that attacked her. Sadden by the fact that Yuuki had become frightened of him, he leaves to calm her down. A week later, he receives a message from the Chairman that said Yuuki had been attacked by vampires. He rushes over only to realize that he had been tricked. The Chairman then excitedly points out that Yuuki had dressed herself, even though the clothes were on wrong. Kaname falls into a fit of laughter as Yuuki covers her head, leaving her bottom out. She then looks out at Kaname as he gets a hold of himself. He then apologizes for scaring her, as he’s leaving he says “bye bye”. But as he is trying to leave, she grabs hold of his coat saying her first word, “Kana…me! Kaname!” Yuuki and Kaname become very close, as she would always run to him to greet him. But the arrival of Zero and the making of the Night Class both made them get separated from each other very often. Since he’s feared by the other vampires because he’s a Pureblood and because Yuuki had all of her memories when she was 5 years old erased, he’s often very lonely. Few people are close to him. Before her memories were erased, Yuuki was hidden away because the Vampire Council was trying to use Purebloods for their own purpose and because Rido was also a threat. Before her memories were erased, Yuuki never saw the outside world. Ever since she was a child, Kaname always kept an eye on her, watching her every step. She is so important to him, that he often visited the Chairman’s house to check on her well being. Yuuki cares about Kaname so much, her heart beats like crazy when he’s around her. She loves Kaname while he himself adores and cherishes her.

However once more, Kaname is a vampire and what is more important, a pureblood. He cannot allow himself to step closer to Yuuki and risk to hurt her... or even curse her forever by drinking her blood. This one fact demonstrates just how important Yuuki is to Kaname, but it does not hold. As danger settles in on the academy, Kaname feels that the way to keep the always-in-danger Yuuki from being more of a vulnerability than needed is to reveal her true nature as a pureblood.
