Yuki & Hanabusa

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

Outline
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
In the beginning of the Manga, Hanabusa shows hatred and jealousy towards Yuki due to her favoritism 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.

It also appears that Aido might possibly have romantic feelings for Yuki, in one of the early chapters, he asks the Day class boys (when she was human) if they think Yuki is pretty, they answer with yes; Aido agrees...and blushes.



After the one-year time skip, Aido is seen as her teacher, guardian, and bodyguard. 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 friend; it is when he finds himself falling in love with Yuki. Knowing of Yuki's empty space in her heart where Zero should be, and Zero's dishearted news of knowing her true nature, Aido tells Zero that Yuki is still loving and kind even in her reawakened self as a Pureblood.

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.

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).

In the Manga
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 tries to 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.

In the Anime
Yuki then ends up encountering two girls from the Day Class sneaking around, even though it's night; she climbs down from the roof with the help of a tree branch. She asks them what they were doing, and they reply that they came to take some pictures of the Night students. Two of the Night students (Hanabusa and Akatsuki) suddenly appear, saying that they were drawn by the scent of blood. 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 the two other vampires 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. Kaname hearing Hanabusa tell this to Akatsuki, comes over and slaps him and Hanabusa quickly apologizes.

Trivia

 * Before Yuki became a Pureblood again, Hanabusa likes to jokingly freezing her and trying to kiss her.
 * Hanabusa is really jealous of Yuki and Kaname's friendship and relationship. However, when Kaname told him that Yuki was his sister and that she was destined to be his wife, Hanabusa was a little bit confused.
