Zero is shown coughing up a blood tablet in the beginning. It's Valentine's Day and an event is being hosted at Cross Academy. The Day Class girls are discussing and planning to give chocolates to the vampire that they have a crush on. Yuuki thinks about making her own to give to Kaname as a token of thanks. Meanwhile, Zero is struggling thoughout the episode to contain his thirst, especially when he's near Yuuki. When it's time for the Night Class to come out of their dorms and attend their classes, the two prefects allow them to give their chocolate and affections as they pass by while they supervise. Yuuki almost doesn't give her store-bought chocolate to Kaname (her attempt at making some didn't turn out well) when she sees his arms are full from chocolates that were given to him from other admirers until she gets knocked down by some impatient Day Class girls and her wrapped gift gets thrown up into the sky, where Zero catches it and throws it to Kaname, to Yuki's discontent. Later on, when Kaname and his bodyguard, Seiren are alone, he gives the other gifts to her and keeps only Yuuki's chocolate. When night falls, the Night class, excluding Ichijou, Kaname and Seiren, go to Zero and attempt to fight. Yuuki steps in. The Night Class decides to leave then because they know it would upset their dorm leader, Kaname, if any harm came to Yuuki.

She is then chased and attacked by the boy who is an ex-human vampire and another former human vampire. Kaname appears and destroys the vampire and brings Yuuki back to the dorm. Later, Yuuki searches for Zero and finds him on the stairway, appearing uncomfortable. She tries to talk to him, but he tells her to stay away. Cringing at his reaction, she complies and apologizes for bothering him and is about to turn back when Zero feels guilty and grabs her hand, about to say something when the gauze on Yuuki's hand unravels and he smells the blood leaking from her cut.

Yuki asks what’s worrying Zero and goes to make coffee. Zero comes up behind her and twines their hands. He says Yuki may be why he’s still alive. Then, he leaves. Meanwhile, Maria and Kaname converse. He knows she’s not Maria and accuses her of toying with everyone. She retorts that he shouldn’t talk morals because they are alike. Kaname plays with a chess Queen and knocks it over. Yuki realizes that Maria is why Zero’s acting funny and runs after him. Zero faces down Maria but can’t kill her. She says he can’t kill his master, who made him a vampire. She tries to kiss him, but he jerks back. She and Zero fight. Alarmed, Yuki calls his name, but Kaname puts her asleep. Power crackles from his hand over Yuki’s head as he says that he cannot lose Yuki, but that Zero can die if he’s that weak. Zero faints, injured, and Maria tells her manservant to carry him away. The next day, Yuki spaces out during exams as she looks at Zero’s empty seat. Afterwards, she meets Kaname, and they talk about the ball and dancing. Departing, Takuma notes that Yuki has utterly forgotten last night. Kaname says she’s happier that way. Yagari is with Headmaster Cross, thinking how odd Kaname’s kindness to Yuki is. Cross says Kaname told him to admit Maria and that vampires handle their own affairs. Yagari asks if Zero is a vampire but Cross plays stupid. Meeting at twilight, Maria unlocks Yuki’s memories of last night and offers a deal. She'll tell how to save Zero from becoming a level E if Yuki will do something for her. Meanwhile, Zero dreams of Shizuka and Ichiru. Upon first seeing her, Ichiru finds her beautiful but Zero says she’s a vampire. Ichiru says that Zero amazing and makes up for Ichiru's mediocrity.
