Kaname & Akatsuki

This page is for the relationship between Kaname Kuran and Akatsuki Kain.

Background
Kaname was not especially outgoing around children his own age. He first met Hanabusa, Akatsuki, and Ruka as children, but they did not form bonds until several years later after the deaths of Haruka and Juri. Kaname was willing to waive his original plan in order to live with Yuki for all eternity.

Summary
Akatsuki and his cousins, Hanabusa and Ruka met Kaname once when they were children but did not meet again until years later.

In the Anime
Hanabusa grabs Yuki's hand, looking at the wound she has on it from climbing down. He then proceeds to drink some blood from the wound, much to the fright of the two Day Class students, who faint from shock. Zero then arrives, just as Hanabusa was about to drink blood from Yuki's neck, and nearly shoots one of them with his Bloody Rose gun. Kaname then arrives, and takes Akatsuki and Hanabusa back to the Headmaster for punishment, after erasing the memory of the two human girls.

After the events that occurred the night before, Hanabusa receives ten days of suspension, but believes it was worth it to obtain Yuki's irresistible blood. Akatsuki warns Hanabusa to not say that in front of Kaname as he will be angry. Kaname hearing Hanabusa tell this to Akatsuki, comes over and slaps him and Hanabusa quickly apologizes.

Back in the Moon Dormitory, the students of the Night Class can hear all the screaming from outside. Hanabusa wants to make a bet with Akatsuki about who will get the most chocolates. Senri believes this is just troublesome. Kaname arrives, and the students of the Night Class prepare to leave their dorms.

The Night Class students apologize to Kaname who forgives them.

The Night Class students are being told that they are to be ready for dorm inspections. Akatsuki calls Hanabusa aside to convince him to clean up his junk, but Hanabusa refuses and calls his stuff treasure. Only after Kaname interferes does Idou finally reluctantly agree to consider cleaning up.

Before Yuki runs off, Kaname tells her the sad truth that Zero will eventually turn into a Level E vampire. Akatsuki confronts Kaname about his obsession with Yuki, but does not get a very good answer.

Later, Ruka offers her blood to Kaname, but he refuses. Ruka cries into Akatsuki's shirt, thinking she'll never understand Kaname's thoughts.

Yuki runs off to find Kaname, being told by Akatsuki he's on the terrace.

Meanwhile, Hanabusa and Akatsuki sneak off and find Shizuka’s real body. Seiren tells them to leave it alone. Akatsuki stops Hanabusa from asking more, saying that this means Kaname has plans.

The next evening, Akatsuki returns to Kaname with Hanabusa to report what he saw. Kaname says that even though he doesn’t think Zero would kill Shizuka, that’s how it will look to the Senior Council, to whom he must report the incident.

For Yuki’s sake, Kaname gets Zero to drink his blood, saying that his Pure blood will save Zero from madness. All the vampires, including Akatsuki, are startled when they smell Kaname’s blood.
