A flashback shows Kaien Cross meeting with an unknown authoritative figure from the Vampire Hunter's Association. They discuss Zero whom Kaien says is still stable and in control. The authoritative figure says that he's already sent Yagari to the school to decide whether or not Zero really is safe. Kaien tells the figure that they have nothing to worry about and questions how they lack assurance in the peacefulness of Cross Academy.
Zero continues to drink Yuki's blood. Yuki realizes that she's scared of how Zero, a vampire, is drinking away her blood. She wonders why she's scared, as it's for Zero's sake. Zero then releases himself from her, calling himself a beast.
Zero: i'm so despicable
even if i hate vampires to the core
even if i dont want to hurt anybody
i still cant control my craving for blood
i've given up
i know that drinking this fresh blood is only a temporary solution
after tasting your blood
Yuki: did you forget our promise
that you'll stop saying that
even if you say you detest it
even if you hate me
we must suppress the monster inside you
even if you hate me or hate vampires
you shouldn't give up just like that
Zero: are you alright
Yuki: yes i'm alright
i dont lack blood
i've always been healthy
i'll even be able to go to school tomorrow as usual
you must come to school tomorrow
Yuki walks outside, thinking about her proposal. Yuki knows that it's forbidden as she's offering her own blood to keep a vampire alive, and is determined to keep it a secret.
She encounters Kaname, asking where she's heading.
Yuki: i'm going to the night section class
Kaname: it has ended
Everyone has already returned to the dorm
Yuki: is that so
Yuki is deliberating whether to tell Charmain about Kaname wandering secretly outside the campus.
Kaname then walks over to Yuki and notices that her hair is damp, asking her if she's washed it. Yuki realizes that he knows the truth and silently begs him not to look at her neck as he's gently touching it.
Much to her surprise, Kaname hugs Yuki and wonders when she's started keeping secrets from him, noting how it's all that's changed in their relationship within the past ten years. Kaname lets go. They bid each other a good-night and Yuki leaves, wondering why her heart is aching despite wanting to keep her promise with Zero.
Toga Yagari approaches Kaname from the trees.
Toga: a pureblood vampire hugging a girl so warmly
i dont know why you break tradition to favour that girl
you should know what she just did
after all the evidence is still there
Yagari realizes that Kaname doesn't plan on doing anything and asks why he won't kill Zero. An array of leaves attack and cut Yagari's hand. Kaname finally replies and says that he plans to keep silent so that he can still have Yuki.
Zero is approached by his former teacher. Yagari asks why the windows in Zero's room are all closed and if his shoulder is feeling better. Yagari explains that a weapon like his can do severe damage to a vampire and that it'll take a while for the injuries to heal, unless they drink a human's blood. The vampire hunter then takes his gun and points it at Zero. Yuki realizes that Zero isn't coming to school and wonders why. She realizes her mistake and leaves the homeroom to look for him, berating herself for leaving him alone. She eventually finds Zero with Yagari, still pointing his gun at Zero's head.
Yagari asks if being killed by him isn't enough. He then gets angry and reminds Zero of the vow he made years ago, right after Yagari lost his eye to save Zero. He says that Zero's desperation made him want to kill him but after regaining his resolve, he decided against it. Yagari tells Zero to struggle until he can't struggle further and tells him not to run away. He then asks Yuki to stop Zero if he goes berserk, advising her not to play easy with him. Yuki inquires about when Yagari shot Zero with his gun and the vampire hunter says that he would've killed him if he wanted to, showing that he intentionally missed shooting a fatal wound to Zero. He tells Yuki to send his luggage at a later time (since it's really heavy) bids goodbye to the two. He then tells Zero how "that woman" might still be alive, much to Zero's shock. Yagari then leaves.
Yuki tells Zero that she really thought he was going to die and starts crying. Zero gets up and places his hand on her head, promising her that he won't run away any further. He asks that she doesn't cry anymore and starts to leave.
Yuki silently tells herself that she won't ever regret their promise.
