| Yuki Cross recalls her earliest memories, in which she was attacked by a vampire and saved by the Pureblood vampire Kaname Kuran. In the present, she attends the Cross Academy, a school founded by her adoptive father, Headmaster Kaien Cross, and she works as a 'Guardian' with vampire hunter Zero Kiryu to protect the human students of the 'Day Class' from the vampires of the 'Night Class', an arrangement created by Kaien to foster better relations between vampires and humans. That evening, Yuki discovers a pair of male Night Class students, Hanabusa Aido and Akatsuki Kain, threatening to feed on a pair of female Day Class students. Yuki attempts to stop them, only for Hanabusa to drink some of her blood from a wound she got from climbing down a tree. They retreat only after Zero arrives and threatens them with his anti-vampire gun, Bloody Rose.

After the Night Class students receive all their presents, Zero gives Yuki's present to Kaname, who takes her present after discarding all the other gifts he received. Zero is constantly tempted by Yuki's scent and he has to go somewhere away from Yuki to avoid hurting her. That evening, Zero is attacked by several Night Class students, including Hanabusa and Akatsuki, and they retreat after realizing that attacking him would incur Kaname's anger.

Kaname tends to the bite marks Zero gave Yuki, and Kaien later explains that Zero's family was attacked by a Pureblood vampire, who killed Zero's family and turned Zero into a vampire. Only Pureblood vampires have the cursed ability to turn humans into vampires, so Yuki is in no danger from Zero's bite. That evening, she overhears a conversation between Kaname and Kaien discussing Zero's transfer to the Night Class. Yuki goes to the Night Class dorms, only to be briefly stopped by Hanabusa, in hopes to convince Kaname to stop the transfer. Kaname refuses, noting that Zero will ultimately become a Level E vampire. Meanwhile, Zero ponders shooting himself with his anti-vampire gun, but is stopped by Yuki.

In the town, a Level E vampire attacks Yuki and Zero, and they are saved by Night Class students Takuma Ichijo and Senri Shiki, who explain that they were hunting the Level E vampires as part of their duties as noble-class vampires. Takuma invites Yuki and Zero to his birthday party, in which Kaname explains to Yuki the continuing battle between vampires and vampire hunters. Zero leaves due to being uncomfortable by the presence of so many vampires and having smelt Takuma's blood after his hand is sliced by a cake knife. Yuki follows Zero, seeing that his body is rejecting the blood tablets, but he attempts to bite her.

Yagari arrives and asks Kaname why he has not killed Zero. Kaname replies that he fears he would lose Yuki's affection if he did so. The next day, Zero and Yagari are absent from class, and Yuki finds Yagari pointing his gun at Zero again.

In a flashback, Yuki recalls when Kaien adopted her and that she was initially fearful of Kaname before becoming close to him. When Kaien brought Zero into the household, he explained to Yuki that his entire family had been killed by a vampire. Zero was quite different from how he is now back then, being quiet and keeping to himself. Shortly afterwards, Kaien established the Cross Academy with the Day Class and Night Class, which infuriated Zero. After class one day, Yuki attempted to visit Kaname, and saw him drinking the blood of a female Night Class student named Ruka Souen, which causes a frightened Yuki to run away.

Hanabusa and Ruka come between him and Kaname, explaining that attempting to draw blood from a Pureblood vampire is taboo. Kaname hits Hanabusa for overstepping his authority, and later declines Ruka's offer to drink her blood. Later, Ichijo tells Takuma to continue to serve Kaname but keep watch on him. Yuki and Zero take Ichijo to Kaien. The next morning, Kaien assigns Zero to hunt down a Level E vampire. Yuki follows him and learns that Senri and Rima Toya have been assigned by the Vampire Council to hunt the same vampire.

When Maria attends class with the Night Class students, they are surprised by her boldness towards Kaname, and Hanabusa becomes suspicious of Maria because she is related to Shizuka.

The next day, Maria runs around the school during the day with Takuma giving chase. Yuki tries to help, but Zero stops her and tells her to stay away from Maria. Hanabusa later talks to Zero, who asks if Maria has any connection to Shizuka.

She attacks him causing him to pass out from blood lose. Kaname erases Yuki's memory of the incident, and Maria has her companion take Zero away. The following day, Yagari is angry that Kaien allowed Maria in the school. Kaien comments that Kaname told him to admit Maria and that the Vampire world has its own way of dealing with things. Kaname and Takuma visit Yuki to see if she remembers the events from the night before. Later, Maria unlocks Yuki's memory of Zero's fight and makes a deal with Yuki to save Zero from becoming a Level E vampire. Meanwhile, Zero recalls as a child that he discreetly sensed Shizuka as a vampire during the day when Ichiru was unaware of this.

He injures Shizuka, and she leaves after Ichiru arrives. Ichiru begins to fight Zero, and Yuki stops their fight. Ichiru threatens to kill Yuki, and in response, Zero points Bloody Rose at Ichiru's head. Ichiru reveals that the gun cannot harm him, as Shizuka never changed him into a vampire. Meanwhile, Yagari continues to argue with Kaien, who claims that he cannot interfere with vampire affairs under Kaname's jurisdiction.

Later Akatsuki tells Kaname that he believes that Zero killed Shizuka. Kaname acts sympathetic about Shizuka's death. This bothers Hanabusa greatly because he knows Kaname killed Shizuka. Hanabusa later explains to Akatsuki that the man Shizuka turned and care about greatly was executed by Zero and Ichiru's parents because he was on the list of vampires to be executed by the Hunter's Association, yet he had not fallen to Level E status. Meanwhile, Yuki asks Kaien about Zero's condition, and later confides her guilt about Zero's pain to Kaname.

Despite Artemis rejecting her, Yuki's determination to protect all of the students allows her to wield it, transforming into a scythe to reflect her vampiric nature. This amazes the Night Class students as a Pureblood should not be able to wield an anti-vampire weapon. Zero arrives and prepares to kill Rido, but he cannot control his new powers.

Despite this, they still vow to follow Kaname. As Zero says farewell to Yuki, he dares her to drink his blood to prove that she is a vampire. When doing so, she remembers when Zero told her that he could tell that she loved Kaname by her blood, learning that Zero had fallen in love with her. However, Zero, stating his role as a vampire hunter, says that he will ultimately kill Yuki, who will be looking forward to their next encounter someday, despite this cruel promise. Kaname questions Yuki if she truly wants to leave, even though Rido's threat has been eliminated. However, she reminds him that he is among the people she wants to protect. After Yuki says goodbye to Kaien, she and Kaname leave the academy, along with Akatsuki, Hanabusa and Ruka.
