Chapter: 62nd Night - Beyond the memories
The chapter opens with another flashback showing Juri and Haruka enjoy their infant child, Kaname, talking to him as Rido as watches from the doorway. Rido observes that perhaps new life is a good thing afterall and Juri asks if he wishes to hold the baby. Rido takes the child, but the baby wees on him. Juri apologises and Rido comments that its because Juri is bad at changing diapers, he tells Juri and Haruka that he intends to clean Kaname himself and change his shirt. Haruka is concerned and follows him out the door, but Rido has disappeared with Kaname.
Chapter: 62nd Night - Beyond the memories
Sypnosis
Yuki continues drinking from Kaname, absorbing the memories with it. Still in the flashback, the ancestor hears Haruka calls for his brother and Kaname. He looks towards the door where a sword lies near. Rido laughs, still lying on the ground, drained by the earlier bite. He tells the ancestor that it would have been better for Kaname to allow Rido to drain him, as the blood and flesh he got from the baby and the blood from Rido were nowhere near enough to restore his flesh. He asks Kaname what he intends to do as Kaname stares at his fleshless hand, he asks Kaname if he will sacrifice Juri and Haruka, noting that Kaname is suffering from a hunger built over thousands of years and he finds it unimaginable. Kaname looks over at the baby's cloth. He closes his eyes and his body seems to disappear. Haruka enters the room, calling for his brother. Kaname narrates that his body was excessively imperfect as Rido had recognised. Haruka looks over to the coffin and finds the bloody baby blanket, he holds it to his face in grief. He looks down and sees the baby in Kaname's jacket, he kneels down and picks up the new baby. Kaname narrates that his body's desire to repair itself was instigating a bloodlust that was overtaking his mind and in order to control it, he regenerated his cells into that of a baby and entrusted his body to Haruka and Juri and put his memories to sleep. Haruka picks up the child and hugs it, he brings back the baby to a sad Juri.
Yuki continues to drink from Kaname as she begins to see the life of Kaname as a growing child. Kaname meets baby Yuki and she grasps his finger, Yuki in the present, squeezes Kaname's shoulder in sympathy. Young Kaname is charmed by the child. In the present, Kaname has lost strength and is laid on the coffin. Yuki leans over Kaname and strokes his face. She asks if he was the person who was sleeping inside the coffin and Kaname confirms it. Yuki grasps his face with both hands and asks if it's alright to ask who is was. She thinks that she wants to know properly. She asks him why he never told her before, why he tells her now. Yuki has many questions, she wants to know why he was sleeping in the coffin. He pushes the hair away from her face and Yuki tells him that to her, he can be the only Kaname, so he shouldn't worry and that he should tell her everything. Kaname tells her to ask his blood, Yuki swiftly bites his neck again.
The flashback picks up after the attack by Rido on the Kuran, as Kaname places an unconscious Yuki in the snow telling her he will go and take care of the vampires pursuing them. He tells her that it will be ok and he will take her to a warmer place, but he laments that the next time she awakens, she will not know who he is. Yuki awakens in the snow, but in the form of her older human self with short hair wearing her school uniform. She realises she's in a memory, a shadow approaches, calling out to her, he asks to drink her blood. It is the vampire who attacked her from her memorues, Yuki strikes the vampire with the Artemis appearing in her hands. She wonders if this is her memory. Shizuka Hio approaches. She tells Yuuki that drinking from someone also can bring along fragments of their memories with it. As Yuki recognises Shizuka, Rido hugs her from behind as he did in 43rd Night, calling her Juri. Many figures are suddenly surrounding Yuki, they begin reaching for her, demanding her blood. Yuki becomes overwhelmed and screams, then she begins to fall.
Kaname's voice is heard telling another person that he doesn't remember his own name, another vampire names him Kaname after their village. Yuki breaks through Kaname's memories like breaking glass. The vampire narrates that the human population has drastically dropped because of the climate change. The vampire tells Kaname its fine if he wants to be alone, that they will go and find others who also cannot die. Two cloaked figures leave, determined that there must be more like themselves out there, she tells Kaname it's ok if he forgets his name as he probably won't need it. Yuki watching, wonders when this past is from. She remember's Aido's lessons as he told her the climate change took place over ten thousand years ago and at this time, the founders of the vampires, who had been scattered over the world, began to realise there were others like them around.
A new flashback with changing scenes show Kaname living with some villages. Villagers show their harvests to Kaname, calling him lord and thanking him for his help. Kaname standing over a sleeping woman, before he withdraws her blood. A group of villagers confront kaname with the rumours of him stealing their blood at night. They call him a monster and unnatural, saying that he never goes out in the sun, that he uses his blood instead of their medicine and he hasn't aged in two generations. Some villagers go after Kaname with makeshift weapons, calling him a freak and demanding that he pay back the blood he took from them, to give them his blood as medicine.
Kaname sits alone under a tree and another vampire calls out to him. she tells him its natural for the humans to fear them and says it would be better for the humans and the vampires if they live separately, she extends her hand to Kaname and tells him to join their companions. Kaname follows her. Yuki realises this is the beginning of vampire race they know today. She feels faint looking so back at the past and that the figure of the past Kaname who stood alone is alike with that of Zero's figure. The founders express concern over others pointlessly creating too many ex-human vampires, whom they call servants and they do not need to create so many to live, as these servants cannot live off air. A founder gathers more vampires to him, which worries the others, but they are relieved the servants are obeying.
A founder tells a sleeping Kaname to rouse, she notes that he passed out because he refuses to turn humans and is starved, she extends her arm and tells him to drink, telling him not to claim that he's forgotten how to use his fangs. Kaname sits up and she tells him that she will have him return the favour soon. She asks him to lend her his power and part of her face is seen for the first time. Yuki is surprised at the revelations.

Seirene
Seiren (星煉, Seiren) is a student of the Night Class, she is Kaname Kuran's unofficial bodyguard. She is usually the first to defend Kaname from anyone she regards as a threat.

She has no powers (she can ,however, erase minds and put people to sleep) (though most vampires have that ability), but is skilled at martial arts, and using ninja-like weapons.
Seiren is a highly trusted vampire, when Kaname and Yuki return to the Kuran mansion in secret, Seiren is already there having prepared their quarters.
She is a very quiet character as she only speaks when necessary.
She shows mild liking toward Kaname.
Appearance
Seiren is thin, and about 5'5 to 5'7 tall. In the manga, she has very short grayish blue to grayish purple hair (it falls to her cheeks), and her eyes are gray to icy blue.
Personality
Seiren seems to be a no-nonsense type girl, and can always be trusted to get her job done. She can seem cold, but is very loyal.

Kaien is known as the "Vampire without fangs" because he doesn't age and can't die naturally like a vampire. At some point he came to the conclusion he needed to kill all the Kurans known as the strongest of the vampire clans. During this time he stalked Juri Kuran, but was defeated soundly by her. She bargained with Kaien to start a school where vampires and human could both attend.With Juri's influence, Kaien took on Juri's dream and retired as a vampire hunter rejoining the family business of running Cross Academy 16 years prior to the story's beginning. Following the deaths of Juri and Haruka Kuran, Kaien took in their hidden daughter, Yuki after Kaname Kuran brought her to Cross for safekeeping. Cross kindly took Yuki in and adopted her within the week, becoming her very doting and slightly odd father, much to Yuki's annoyance. Kaien also took Zero Kiryu into his home several years later. He also wished to adopt Zero, but Zero refused.

Ruka Souen in Vampire Knight
Ruka Souen
Ruka Souen (早園瑠佳, Sōuen Ruka) is a Night Class student popular among the Day Class boys and one of the most faithful and protective of Kaname Kuran's followers.
Personality
Ruka usually reflects a haughty, bored and uniterested persona to the rest of the world, probably due to her noble upbringing. One of her defining characteristics is her love for Kaname Kuran. Since they were children, Ruka has been tied by loyalty and admiration for him, angry at all those who disrespect him and disdainful of all girls who fawn on him. Her possessiveness made her hot-tempered and jealous, but her love for Kaname also brought out a vulnerable, self-doubting aspect of her usually proud personality, which she only expressed to her close friend Akatsuki Kain. She realized how overzealous and how she was only thinking of her own feelings and matured. Since giving up on him, she has shown a gentler side to her personality. She even gave Yuki, whom she was jealous of before, etiquette lessons and during the ball, told her that she was glad Yuki and Kaname were getting along so well.
Although Kain has been in love with her since they were children, she appears to be oblivious to his feelings for her.
Appearance
Ruka is slim, with a pale complexion. She is elegant, and very ladylike. She has the same ethereal beauty that the rest of her race possesses, with delicate features and light eyes that are a dusky-rose color. She has wavy dark peach-orange colored hair that falls to her waist. Her height is 175cm.
Background
Ruka as a child.
Ruka grew up privileged, as the daughter of a noble family. Her family is part of what is referred to by Asato Ichijo as the "Aido faction", which is comprises of the Kain, Aido, Souen, Toya, and other clans. Not much is known about her parentage, but her father or mother is possibly part of the Senate or in another high position, as Ichio refers to her as "The daughter of Souen". Ruka came to Cross Academy to be closer to her long-time idol, Kaname Kuran, with whom she is "in love" with. On their first night at the school, she asked Kaname to drink her blood to prevent him from drinking Yuki's blood, but he has since refused it, which deeply hurts her, even though she had expected him to refuse her blood.
Plot About Senri Shiki
Plot Summary
Shiki starts having a central role in the plot when, during the holiday, his great-uncle shows him 'the Shiki family's greatest secret', the bloody, weak remains of his father, Rido Kuran, who was supposed to be dead. He becomes possessed by his father and returns to the Academy, where Rima Touya immediately notices something different about him. She eventually learns the truth and swears to kick out whoever was Shiki's body, engaging in combat. During the fight, she tells him he's an idiot to let someone control him so easily and to "love himself more". Shiki is seen trying to regain control, while Rido tells him it's futile. Shiki then falls unconscious, and Rido leaves his body as he regains his original one.
In Chapter 41, he regained consciousness and after recalling the events that had taken place, apologizes to an unconscious Rima for letting Rido use his body and embraces her. He then protects Rima from a vampire servant of Rido. Shiki declares he is no longer a puppet that can be controlled by his father. In chapter 43, he hurriedly carries Rima out of the Moon Dorm as it is collapsing. During this, he suddenly came upon Rido and glared at him before leaving.
He and Rima went searching for Ichijo who didn't come back until Kaname had told them to stop, telling them that Ichijo was safe but not telling them any details. Rima was still upset with Kaname for that and didn't want to be at the ball in the first place, but Shiki convinced her to stop sulking and to go for his sake. As they were discussing this, they ran into Ichijo. The three of them reunited and Shiki and Rima learned that Ichijo had been with Sara Shirabuki for the past year.
Later, Shiki along with Rima, goes to visit Yuki at the Kuran mansion. Yuki, despite being told by Kaname not to let anyone in, says she'd accept responsibility and cheerfully invites them in for tea. He tells her not to bother as they were not staying for long, and relays on Ichijo's message to 'take care of Kaname'. Then, he proceeds to say that he did not refuse the tea because he disliked her, and that he preferred the carefree look she had when she invited him in.
In Chapter 58, he and Rima are seen having a photoshoot at a school where Sara was posing as a student and Ichijo, her brother. They again run into Ichijo there.

Shizuka Hiou's Appearance
Appearance
Shizuka Hiou posessed unnatural beauty like all the other purebloods. She appeared to be in her late twenties. In the anime, she had straight long silver/snow white hair and eyes that were the pink like cherry blossoms (sakura). Shizuka Hio was around 5 feet 9 inches, making her one of the taller female characters in the anime/manga. She was always shown clad in traditional japanese clothing, such as the kimono. She usually appeared calm and composed, and smiled as if amused when taunting/talking to Zero.
Shizuka Hio in Vampire Knight
Shizuka Hio
Shizuka Hio (緋桜 閑, Hiō Shizuka) was the pureblood vampire who bit Zero Kiryu; even her fellow vampires are uneasy around her and refer to her as the "Madly Blooming Princess" or "Kuruizaki-hime."
Story
A manservant whom she loved (a former human vampire, falsely classified by the Hunter's Association as Level E) was assigned to be killed by the Kiryu vampire hunters. Enraged and vengeful, she attacked the Kiryu family, killing both parents, biting Zero (which subsequently turned him into a vampire), and taking Zero's twin, Ichiru, as a devoted servant and later in love with him. She was originally Rido Kuran's fiancée but held strong feelings of hatred for him, and it was revealed that she wanted more power to kill him herself. Later in the manga, when Rido spoke of her death, he metioned that it was a relief, and that when alive, she had refused to obey/cooperate with him. They never married due to Rido's disappearance and finally her death.
Because Shizuka's blood can prevent Zero from falling to Level E, Yuki once had risked her life and humanity for Zero to be able to drink Shizuka's blood. However, to protect Yuki, Kaname kills Shizuka and drinks her blood, leaving only a small amount for Zero to drink. Unfortunately the blood is drunk by Ichiru, who arrived to find Shizuka first. Before dying, Shizuka warns Kaname that he will live in darkness and has summoned a sinister future for himself by drinking the blood of another Pureblood.Before she died she Tells Ichiru that She will never leave him alone by himself,she then kisses him and she dies. Maria Kurenai was one of her distant relatives.

Toga Yagari in Vampire Knight
Toga Yagari (夜刈十牙, Yagari Tōga?) The current top ranked vampire hunter and a qualified teacher. Yagari formerly trained Zero Kiryu to be a vampire hunter. He lost his right eye trying to save Zero long ago from a Level E vampire. He also took in another hunter, Kaito Takamiya for training after his friend was injured and trained him alongside Zero and Ichiru. Following the killing of Zero's family, he gives Zero to Kaien Cross to look after believing he would never see the boy again after going to investigate the death of the elder Kiryus.
Personality
Yagari comes across as a no nonsense gruff hunter. He subscribes to a tough love attitude. He is realistic and not an unfair judge and though a hunter, he does not appear to dislike vampires despite having lost his eye to a level E vampire when protecting Zero once. He expresses admiration for the night class when they stand against the Council, but warns them against becoming outcasts. He doesn't approve of Kaname's methods and reacts negatively to Kaname's implications of atonement for the sins of the hunters ancestors.
Takuma Ichijo in Vampire Knight
Character Description: Takuma Ichijo
Takuma is the Vice President of the Moon Dorm (Night Class). He's Kaname's close childhood friend. He likes to read manga. Level B vampires are noble class vampires or aristocrats. Almost everyone in the Night Class is an aristocrats or higher. He seems to be very friendly, kind, making him appear more like a human. Takuma's grandfather, who is a member of the council and very powerful, educated him and has high expectations of him. The reason Takuma's grandfather allowed him to come to Cross Academy was to spy on Kaname. However, Takuma does not want to hurt Kaname because they are good friends.
Takuma is ordered to bring Senri Shiki (possessed by Rido Kuran) back to the academy where Rido will look for 'that child' (referring to Yuki). Though Takuma does not want to hurt Kaname by bringing Rido to the academy, he cannot refuse because he has been commanded by his grandfather to do so. He saves Rima Tohya from being killed by Rido when she confronts him to try and free Shiki and stops the fight between Rido and Kaname so that Shiki, whose body was being used by Rido, would not be hurt.

kain akatsuki ---- Vampire Knight
Akatsuki Kain
Akatsuki Kain(架院 暁, Kain Akatsuki) is Hanabusa Aido's cousin and one of "Kaname-sama's right hands". His nickname is "Wild", despite his mellow personality. His association with Aido frequently sees him getting into trouble, despite not being directly responsible. He refers to Kaname as their "gang leader".
Character outline
Akatsuki is a calm person who rarely looses his cool, and often needs to reign in impulsive Aido and Ruka. He is incredibly perceptive and is frequently sensitive to others' feelings. He is also loyal and protective; the type who would never betray his friends. Akatsuki holds an unrequited love for Ruka Souen and loyally follows her in whatever path she chooses. His love for her stops him from having a complete loyalty to Kaname Kuran, as Akatsuki once told him that he would never forgive Kaname if he hurt Ruka. In 48th Night, he reveals that he believes in Kaname Kuran because Ruka does, but someday hopes to believe in himself.
Akatsuki has a muscular build and a formidable height (189 cm) the tallest vampire of the Night Class bunch. He seemingly lacks the classically pale vampire complexion. He has short wavy hair in light orange and amber eyes. Akatsuki also wears one silver earring in his left ear and always wears his shirt unbuttoned, contributing to his reputation as "Wild".
Senri Shiki in Vampire Knight
Senri Shiki
Senri Shiki (支葵 千里, Shiki Senri) is one of the youngest Night Class members. He works as a model alongside Rima Touya. When the Night Class is given orders to hunt down a level E vampire, Shiki is usually the one we see out hunting them. He has a whip-like weapon which develops from his blood. It is later revealed that Shiki is in fact the son of Rido Kuran, Kaname and Yuki's cousin.
Personality
Shiki possesses a personality similar to Rima Touya. He is usually impassive, and often detached to the rest of the vampires except for Rima and Ichijo. He rarely expresses emotion, and may seem like he doesn't care about anything at all. Because of his reserved nature, he keeps to himself.
Appearance
His height is 178 cm (5.8) and has a pale complexion like other vampires. He has thick, wavy, dark-reddish maroon-coloured hair. He resembles his mother greatly, though His eyes are light blue in color. As a vampire, his pale complexion makes it easy for him to sunburn and he is seen walking under an umbrella in the daytime.
Background
Like the Ichijo family, the Shiki family is pro-council because his mother's uncle is a member of the Vampire Council. Shiki's mother was also a well-known former actress, though is now a little unstable and her son must take care of her. According to the fanbook he was scouted as a model while visiting his mom while she was working as an actress. He and Rima met as they were working for the same agency. He and Rima share a love for pocky.
Not much was known about Shiki's father, only that he had died many years earlier. However, it is later revealed that Shiki's father is Rido Kuran, thus making Shiki, Kaname Kuran and Yuki Cross cousins. Senri seems to have inherited his father's ability use his own blood as a weapon, although Rido can use it to greater degree. Even though his father is a Pureblood, Shiki himself is not considered one because his mother is an Aristocrat.
