The sun began to rise, looking bright as ever. Aido was escorting Yuki along with you still holding her hand and had your head down like a disappointed child. When the suns light beamed in front of Yuki, she shielded her eyes. Your kept your eyes down, avoiding the sunlight.
"The sunlight I looked at for the first time...with my vampire eyes...wasn't gentle anymore." Yuki thought to herself.
"It's morning already. Let's get back before Lord Kaname returns." Aido instructed.
"Yes..." Yuki agreed, turning to you with her sad smile.
Suddenly both you and Yuki perked up at the scent your older brother's blood. You both looked behind you in the direction of the scent.
"I thought I smelled blood...Kaname's blood." Yuki spoke.
"What is big brother doing?" You thought to yourself, confused.
"You'll be sensitive to many things now, but lord Kaname will be worried if you two aren't there." Aido turned to you and Yuki.
Then suddenly you sensed an evil presence closing in all around the academy. You saw that Yuki noticed it as well.
"But...I sense a horrible presence...and others are stirring...as if by command of that presence..." Yuki commented, looking up at the sky.
You felt chills throughout your body at the opening act of your final battle. Your palms began to sweat, but you gave Yuki's hand a squeeze.
"They're closing in." You muttered to yourself.
Yuki swallowed hard then took off towards the sun dormitory.
"Big sister, where are you going?" You cried as you chased after her, as well as Aido.
{At the sun dormitory}
Yori was running to the sun dormitory in a rush when a stranger appeared before her.
"Well hello young lady." The stranger greeted with a creepy smile. "We haven't seen our master in a very long time and we so desperately want to bring him a gift." He explained.
"Who - who are you?" Yori asked, backing away slowly.
"That's not important, kay!" The stranger faced Yori with his sharp fangs and blood red eyes as he charged towards her.
This frightened Yori as she froze with fear.
Then suddenly, Aido created ice that formed around the vampire and crushed him to dust.
"Yori!!!" Yuki cried. "Are you alright?!" She looked at her best friend in worry.
"Yuki! Is that you..." Yori spoke, gazing at her best friend and a strange girl standing next to Aido.
Then two more vampires appeared, ready to attack.
Yuki run to aid Yori, shielding her with her body.
"Stand back!" Yuki ordered.
"Big sister!" You called out.
"She's the...Pureblood princess." Said a Vampire, gazing at Yuki in shock.
"So this is his princess..." commented the other.
"Anyone who's after Yori must first answer to me--!" Yuki declared, reaching for artemis, but artemis shocked her.
All of you were shocked, as she dropped artemis on the ground.
"Artemis...it rejected big sister?" You thought to yourself.
"For our master!!" Both vampires sneered as they charged after defenseless Yuki.
"BIG SISTER!!" You cried out.
"What should I do? Those vampires are going to take Yuki away!!" You panicked in your mind. "I have to do something!! But what can I do?!" You clutched your hands into fists and squeezed your eyes shut.
Ba-thump
"Huh?"
Ba-thump
"What is this? I can hear a heart beating. It sounds so close." You thought as you followed the sound and it led you to your pocket in your skirt. "My pocket?" You questioned.
You dug your hand into your pocket and felt a cool and rough surface against your fingers. You pulled it out and examined the object.
"My dagger?" You mumbled in confusion, then remembered Kaname giving you your uniform before you left to save Yuki. "He snuck it into my pocket." You muttered.
You stared deeply at your dagger. Then it pulsed, like a heart beat. You traced your eyes on the blood red gem on your dagger--suddenly, your whole body began to pulsate. It felt like sparks were shooting around inside your body, your (h/l) (h/c) began to flow behind you.
"Raaaaagh!!" The vampire growled, leaping towards Yuki.
Ssshing
Yuki, Yori, and Aido jumped at what they just saw.
In a matter of seconds, you appeared in front of Yuki and Yori with your back to them. Your hair slowly flowing in front of them.
"What--" grunted the vampire, coughing up blood.
You had a sword, shining in a bright turquoise color, thrusted into the vampire's gut. Your eyes were closed at first then slowly opened up, revealing different color eyes. Your left eye was blood red while your right eye was pearl white.
"Creatures like you are not meant to walk this earth." You growled as you yanked the sword out of the vampire's gut, followed by it turning to dust.
Yuki, Yori, and Aido stare at you looking speechless.
"(Name)...?" Yuki spoke.
You didn't respond, you just stood in front of her with your sword covered with blood at your side. Then you suddenly felt a pain in your right eye as you gripped it and began to stumble in pain.
"DIE!!!" screeched another vampire as he leaped toward you.
But the vampire ended up being engulfed in ice as it then squeezed him to dust.
Aido stood before you and the girls with his hand in front of him.
"Hmph. You're no match for me." Aido spoke in a confident yet serious tone.
You were still holding your right eye in pain then your legs gave way.
"(Name)!!!" Yuki cried, then Aido quickly turned and caught you in his arms.
You began to cringe and sweat. Aido watched you closely then looked at Yori.
"Yori..." Aido spoke, making Yori jump. "Take (Name)'s sword and put it in her shieth." He instructed.
"Ah, y-yes!" Yori nodded then took your sword and shoved it into the shieth.
(Think of it like inuyasha's sword going into his shieth)
When the sword was in the shieth, you collapsed in Aido's arms along with Yuki running to your side.
"Yuki...what's going on? What happened to you and... (Name)?!" Yori asked a bit panicked.
Yuki took a deep breath and stood up straight, turning and giving Yori a sad smile.
"I'm sorry, Yori...for scaring you." Yuki began looking hurt as she clutched onto her dress. "Those beings...the ones who just turned to dust...I'm the same...being...as well as (Name)..." she explained looking at you then at Yori. "Forgive me. I..." she added but was stopped when Yori leaped towards Yuki, giving her a heart warming hug.
"Stupid!! Don't apologize and look at me with that lonely expression. I'll feel even lonelier!" Yori cried. "I've been waiting for you to come back safely." Yori began holding Yuki tightly. "I would have been more scared if I didn't know why...my best friend never returned." She finished.
"Yori..." Yuki muttered, her heart leaping in her chest with relief that her best friend isn't afraid of her.

{In Zero's cell}
Zero sat silently inside his cell when his heart beated hard in his chest. He could sense another Pureblood vampire's presence.
"There's another Pureblood." He spoke out loud. "How ominous." He commented, closing his eyes.
"No." He thought as images of Yuki stopping him from killing Kaname and you.
Another image was of you with your serious look as you gazed at Zero pointing his gun at you and Kaname.
"No. They're..." he stared down at the cold stone floor, then ruffled his hair.
"No...how are they different?" He asked himself.
"I'm surprised...for a moment, I thought you were crying." Kaname appeared before Zero but on the other side of his cell bars.
"I don't want to see you. Just leave...Kaname." Zero growled at the Pureblood.
"Ah. Yes...you must be strong--otherwise I'll be in trouble..." Kaname went on, with a little chuckle.
"Geh...why would you be in trouble?" Zero huffed, still not facing Kaname.
"It's been a little over four years...and the pawn I've carefully nurtured...is now almost able to devour the king." Kaname began. "You're the pawn. You're going to destroy Rido...the monster that just rose from his coffin." Kaname proclaimed.
"Are you crazy? Do it yourself!" Zero looked up at Kaname and gave him a glare.
"Do you want to pretend you haven't noticed? What you have taken inside yourself has begun to pulsate." Kaname pointed out as Zero looked away. "You first unconsciously stole the powers of your twin...and were born into yiur family with the power of one and a half vampire hunters." He explained. "If you had devoured your twin entirely...things would've been easier..." he added.
"Stop." Zero spoke.
"Then Shizuka made you into a vampire. You devoured the blood of both (Name) and Yuki, who were both watching over you tenderly...many, many times." Kaname added.
"Shut up!" Zero's voice grew louder.
"Because they both have awokened, Yuki's and (Name)'s blood is now suffusing you...with the true powers of Kuran." Kaname mentioned as images of Yuki and you appeared in Zero's head. "And I too...gave you my blood...which contains Shizuka's blood and powers." He added, never looking away from Zero. "I have let the forbidden acts pass...everything was done for this day. Soon...you'll become the strongest vampire hunter of all. Only you can free me from Rido's spell." He finished.
Zero then returned his glare at Kaname.
"Do you think I'd lift a finger to save you?" Zero growled.
"You will not betray Yuki and (Name)." Kaname spoke, catching Zero off guard as he remebered the vampire you and the vampire Yuki. "I'll take Yuki and (Name) and leave this academy. But as long as Rido exists...he'll keep coming to devour Yuki." He admitted, then Zero's eyes grew wide. "And now that (Name) is also young with fresh blood of Kuran, Rido will come for her too." He added, Zero held in his breath. "Goodbye." Kaname finished then quickly disappeared.
Zero was then left alone in silence and darkness. When suddenly, his arm started to pulsate. His veins visible to the eye. He struggled against the blood he devoured from you, Yuki, Kaname, as well as Shizuka. Then he felt a prescence and found his brother Ichiru on the other side of the bars, with some blood splatted on the left side of his face.
"Ichiru..." Zero struggled to speak.
Ichiru just stood there in silence, staring deep into his twin brothers eyes. He then slowly picked up the bloody rose that was left from Yagari.
"What's...happened to you?" Zero asked with worry.
"Zero..." Ichiru spoke then aimed the gun at Zero.
BANG!!!
