Episode Description:
The students of Cross Academy go on break. Kaname, along with and Rima Toya, Ruka Souen, Akatsuki Kain and Takuma Ichijo, go to the Aido Villa. However, Hanabusa Aido stays on campus and Senri Shiki goes to see his lonely mother back home. In the Moon Dormitory, Hanabusa recalls Kaname killing Shizuka and then acting sympathetic. Yuki watches as Kaname and the others leave. On her way to the Sun Dorm, she has a flashback and becomes scared. She encounters Hanabusa going into the boys section of the Sun Dormitory. He claims to have run away from his dorm Yuki and Zero take him to the Headmaster's private quarters. Zero cooks dinner for him to satisfy his big appetite. Yagari voices his concern about Zero meeting Ichiru at the party. After hearing this, Kaien becomes worried that the Senate approached the Hunter's Society with a deal. Meanwhile at the Villa, Akatsuki searches through records of parties hosted by the Aido family, at the request of Hanabusa, to check if there is anyone who could hold a grudge against the Kuran family. Shiki returns home and greets his mother. She tells him that he looks more like his father everyday, and that he needs to go to his great uncle's for a visit. Later, Hanabusa takes a bath and recalls meeting Kaname when he was younger, noting the change in his personality before and after Kaname's parents died by means of suicide. While cleaning up, Yuki breaks a plate and cuts herself, telling Zero to drink her blood, a scene witnessed by Hanabusa. He returns to the Moon Dormitory and enters Kaname's study room, where he realizes Kaname is planning something big. Yuki ponders if it would be a good idea for Kaname to turn her into a vampire, but Zero says he would never let her become one, even if it means becoming Kaname's enemy.
