Synopsis
The protagonist Yuki Cross' Memory begins on a snowy night, covered in blood and was just attacked by a vampire. She is rescued by Kaname Kuran, a pure-blood vampire, who takes her to Cross Academy to live under the guidance of its headmaster Kaien Cross.
Ten years after the attack, Yuki is now one of two prefects at Cross Academy, where the day class and night class must be kept seperate because the night class hold a secret: they are all vampires.
Her prefect partner, Zero Kiryu was also taken to Cross academy because of a vampire attack. His family was killed by a female pure-blood vampire possibly due to the fact that the Kiryu family were vampire hunters. Zero was bitten and is slowly falling into the temptation to drink human blood.
