The other vampires notice Senri with Ichiru. Senri tells Ichiru to do he job well and he will make his wish come true. Meanwhile, Takuma stands in his room looking at a concret casket. Later Yuki has visions of a woman covered in blood and of a boy, who looks and sounds like Kaname, in class. When Senri goes to see Ruka Souen in her room in an attempt to seduce her, Akatsuki intervenes. Takuma tells Senri to return to his room, and asks Akatsuki and Ruka not to tell Kaname. Yuki begs Kaname to answer questions about her past. She starts to hallucinate and collapses in his arms. Kaname takes Yuki to Kaien, who reveals that it is time for Yuki to be awakened. Meanwhile Ichiru goes up to the concert casket in Takuma's room and stomps on it yelling for Yuki to awaken and give her blood to the monster in the casket. Yuki wakes up in her bed and hallucinates that the room is covered in blood. When Zero comes into the room, Yuki involuntarily attempts to strangle him. After Zero offers no resistance, he tells her that she needs Kaname more than she needs him. Kaname arrives and takes Yuki onto the roof of the building. He bites her, then he drinks his own blood, and transfers his blood to Yuki by kissing her. Zero arrives, misunderstanding that Kaname has turned Yuki into a vampire. However, Yuki reveals that Kaname is her older brother before fainting into Kaname's arms. Kaname then reveals that he is not her real older brother, though he wishes he were.
