Yuki & Hanabusa

This page is for the relationship between Hanabusa Aido and Yuki Kuran.

Background
Yuki Kuran and Hanabusa Aido have some moments in the Anime, mostly comical ones. At first, Hanabusa treated Yuki in a disrespectable manner, calling her by saying "Hey You!". As the series continues, Hanabusa begins to refer to Yuki as "Cross Yuki". Later on, when Yuki is revealed to be Kaname's younger sister and a Pureblood, Hanabusa begins to respect her more. Part of him does the respecting towards Yuki for Kaname, but the other part was because Yuki was a Pureblood, and a Princess too. From the discovery of Yuki's past, Hanabusa began calling her "Yuki-sama" and occasionally adding "Cross Yuki" by mistake, then correcting himself. Hanabusa also noted that "Yuki's personality changed when she became a vampire".

Summary
From the building above, Yuki sees two Day Class girls on the ground. She jumps, grabbing onto a tree to break her fall, she orders the girls to return to the dorm, when she sees one of the girls bleeding she triesto hurry them back. Yuki pulls out her weapon demanding to know who is there. Two vampires, Hanabusa Aido and Akatsuki Kain stand there to the delight of the two other girls. Kain brushes away Yuki's weapon. Hanabusa comments on the sweet smell of blood that drew them there. Yuki warns him not to touch the girls. Hanabusa touches her hand and says it is her blood he smells. He grabs her hand and draws her closer. Yuki struggles realizing she cut her hand on the tree. He licks her blood and asks if he can drink from her neck. Zero suddenly appears holding the bloody rose to Hanabusa's temple reminding Hanabusa that blood drinking is strictly forbidden, asking him if he's lost his mind.

Yuki yells at Zero to stop, but as Aido says he's already tasted Yuki, Zero shoots. Yuki pushed Zero's gun out of the way in time, shocking Aido and Kain. Kaname appears and asks Zero to put away the bloody rose. Kaname takes Aido away, asking Zero if it is okay and telling Kain off for not stopping Aido. Kaname asks Yuki to take the girls to the headmaster to get their memories wiped. He apologizes to Yuki for scaring her. She protests that she is fine, reaffirming in her mind that Kaname is different from the rest of the vampires. Zero grabs Yuki's hand and uses his tie as a bandage on her hand.

Yuki promises to be careful as it would be disgraceful to have her blood drunk as a guardian. Aido wonders if the blood tablets aren't working for him anymore as he couldn't resist Yuki's blood. Kaname slaps Aido, leaving a mark on his face. Aido apologizes and Kaname licks his fingers.

When Yuki walk into the Night Dormitory to speak to Kaname, Hanabusa shows that he holds hatred and jealousy towards Yuki. This is due to her favouritism by Kaname Kuran when she is nothing but a simple human. He even expresses these feelings to her when he freezes her to the floor with his powers and asks her if he may: "suck her blood from her neck", resulting in a fierce displeasure from Kaname. He often teases her makes situations harder for Yuki, such as giving her attention so that his fangirl would get mad at her.

When Yuki and Hanabusa leave Cross Academy after Rido's attack, Aido is seen as her teacher, guardian, and bodyguard. Aido tries to follow Yuki in purpose of trying to protect her when Kaname is not there. Though he tries his best, Aido fails on keeping Yuki at the Kuran mansion and usually is convinced by Yuki to let her have exceptions to go outside into the nearby town (as shown in chapter 57 of the manga). When they believe Kaname killed Aido's father, Aido stays loyal to Yuki as she had nothing to do with it. The incident causes Aido and Yuki to grow closer to each other and Aido's determination comes to supporting Yuki in anything and becomes her unconditional friends.

In chapter 92, Yuki bites Aido (in order to recover from blood loss; Zero drank her blood to take back his memories) to which he reacts in a panicked matter, as he knows she can see what he thinks and feels through blood. He exclaims, "There are things I don't want you to know about!" However, Yuki doesn't see anything, running off and thanking him afterward, Aido then is seen stroking his neck and blushing fiercely. He murmurs "Damn..." It seems as though he was scared Yuki might discover hidden feelings.

It can also be interpreted that Aido might possibly had romantic feelings for Yuki. In one of the early chapters, he asks the Day class boys if they think Yuki is pretty, they answer with yes; Aido agrees and he blushes. Knowing that Yuki has an empty space in her heart for Zero, and Zero's dishearted news of knowing her true nature, Aido take it upon himself to tells Zero that Yuki is still loving and kind even in her reawakened self as a Pureblood.
