Summary
Yuki asks Kaname if she could stay with him despite her feelings for Zero. Kaname says he wouldn't reject her just for that, and that is proof that he loves her. It'd be cruel to him if he locks Yuki up for her feelings towards Zero. Yuki runs away from him saying that she doesn't deserve to be with him. Kaname chases after her. Yuki tells him she's really cruel and he should let go of her, but he says he'd rather die than doing so, preferring to die at her hands with the Artemis.He also tells her that he'd gladly receive anything from her, even if it was cruel. He notices that Yuki's hungry and asks her to feed from him, so she does.
