This is my Entry on Everything about Vampire Knight!
Synopsis
Cross Academy is different from other schools. It has a Day Class and a Night Class, with different uniforms and no interaction between these two classes. Secretly, students of the Night Class are all vampires, led by Kuran Kaname, a noble vampire who 10 years prior saved Cross Yuki from the attack of a stray vampire. Now a Guardian of the Night Class vampires, Yuki works along with fellow classmate Kiriyu Zero, a young man with a hatred for vampires deeper than anything she could imagine. Together, they protect Kaname and the Night Class vampires from having their identities revealed, as well as protect Day Class students from any vampire attacks that occur do to a vampire's natural thirst for blood.

Lyrics
Opening:
Akaku akaku akaku yurete
Yume no yume no hate e
Mou nando mo akiramete wa oshikorosu tabi
Ikiba no nai kanjou ga me o samashiteku
Kegare no nai sono hohoemi zankoku na hodo
Tooi sonzai da to wakaru yo
Ienai kizu kokoro mushibamu dake na no ni
Yami no (naka ni) ima mo (yadoru) omoi o osaekirenai
Akaku akaku akaku yurete
Yume no yume no hate e
Deatte shimatta unmei ga mawaridasu
Dare mo dare mo shiranai himitsu
Ochite ochite ochite
Mou modorenai tsumi o kizande mo kitto
English:
Swaying redly, redly, redly
To the edge of the dream's dream
How many times have we given up to this stifling pressure?
Emotions that have no place to go wake me up
That pure smile is such a cruel thing
I get that we're just a passing existence
Although the unseen wounds are just eating away at my heart
As I stay, even now, in the darkness
I can't completely stop my feelings
Swaying redly, redly, redly
We managed to meet, at the dream's dream's edge,
Fate began to turn
A secret that nobody, nobody knows
Fall, fall, fall,
There's no turning back anymore
Surely not even by slicing through these sins...
Ending:
I miss Alice.
anata garasu no me de donna yume wo
mirareru no?
mirareru no?
mata atashi kokoro ga sakete nagare deru.
tsukurou tte sukima ni sasaru kiokutachi
Still, you do not answer.
Still, you do not answer.
English
I miss Alice.
In your glass eye, what sort of dream,
Are you seeing?
Are you seeing?
Once again, my heart has burst, and is pouring out.
"Repair it." call the memories trapped in the crevice.
Still, you do not answer.
Still, you do not answer.
I personally like the ending better then the opening because the song all together just went so well with the anime that I fell in love heart
Characters
Yuki Cross (黒主優姫)
The adoptive daughter of the headmaster of Cross Academy, Yuki is a member of the school's disciplinary committee (public morals committee in Japanese), which is the 'front' for the Guardians. Ten years prior to the events of "Vampire Knight," Yuki was attacked by a vampire, but was rescued by Kaname. She has lost all memory of her life before the attack, and Headmaster Cross took her in as his own daughter. Yuki loves Kaname, and even though she has witnessed his vampiric nature when he bit Ruka, she still couldn't stop loving him. However, she has also started to let Zero, a childhood friend, drink her blood, hoping to save him from madness. Yuki is cheerful and easygoing, and thanks to her work as a Guardian she is good at keeping her cool in sticky situations. There have been hints that she is special, given that vampires are especially drawn to her blood. Her weapon of choice is the "Artemis Rod," an extensible staff she received from Headmaster Cross.
Zero Kiryuu (錐生 零)
Yuki's childhood friend, Zero is also a Guardian and likewise on the disciplinary committee. Yuki has been taking care of him as her little brother since he was brought into their home (the Headmaster's). His family, a line of vampire hunters, was murdered by the pure blood vampire Shizuka Hio when he was young. He harbors a deep hatred for vampires and claims to have taken on the role of Guardian to learn to hunt them better. In truth, Zero was bitten during the attack on his family, and have kept the secret that he was a vampire from Yuki until he was no longer capable of controlling his vampiric urges.
Zero's body rejects the blood tablets that most vampires take to control their hunger. Drinking Yuki's blood helps him maintain his sanity, but he is destined to become a Level E vampire eventually. He has started to accept his feelings towards Yuki and has gone as far as to almost kiss her. Zero's weapon is the gun "Bloody Rose," given to him by Headmaster Cross. He made Yuki promise that if he becomes a Level E vampire, she will kill him with that gun.
Kaname Kuran (玖蘭)
A pureblood vampire. He saved Yuki from an attack by another vampire when she was little. Kaname is the class president of the Night Class, much feared and respected by the other Night Class students. While he is cold and authoritative towards his fellows in the Night Class, he is always kind and sweet to Yuuki. He has shown that he cares deeply for Yuki ever since he saved her, and loves her in a romantic sense.
Hanabusa Aidou
Nicknamed "Idol" by the Day Class girls. Along with his cousin Akatsuki Kain, Hanabusa Aido is known among the Night Class as "Kaname-sama's right hand," and he has a fierce admiration for Kaname. He possesses an upper-class vampire ability to control ice. He knows that Zero is a vampire, but keeps quiet about it. Aido can seem cheerful and friendly one moment, and cold and vindictive the next. He is not fond of Yuki, but he tolerates her because Kaname cares for her. He is the only one to have witnessed Kaname kill Shizuka, but Aidou still looks up to Kaname and wants to lend Kaname his power to help find who killed Kaname's parents. Even though Kaname declined his offer so that Aidou wouldn't put himself in danger, Aidou is now researching behind Kaname's back in books and records to try to find who could possibly have been enemies of the Kurans and to find Kaname's secrets.
Kain Akatsuki
Aidou's cousin and another one of "Kaname-sama's right hand." His carefree attitude gets both him and Aido in trouble at times. His nickname is "Wild," despite the fact he is actually mellower than Aido. He tends to get blamed for the actions of other vampires, especially Aido, despite not being involved and ends up getting punished as a result. In a bonus story at the end of Volume 2 ("I Must've Been Born Under the "Victim of Circumstances" Star..." wink he also refers to Kaname as their "gang leader." He is incredibly perceptive and is frequently sensitive to others' feelings, most particularly with Aido and Ruka's. Also seems that he has feelings for Ruka and likes her.
Kaien Cross
Yuuki's adoptive parent, who also took Zero into his home several years ago. Headmaster Cross dreams of peace between humans and vampires, and established the Night Class to promote understanding between the two races. Although he is often eccentric, he has a serious side as well. It is revealed that he is a former vampire hunter.
Shizuka Hio
The pureblood vampire who bit Zero; even her fellow vampires are uneasy around her. She is called "Mad Blooming Princess" by her fellow vampires. A manservant whom she loved (a former human vampire; said to have never fallen to Level E) was killed by a Kiryu vampire hunter. In retribution, she attacked the Kiryu family, killed the parents, turned their son Zero into a vampire, and took Zero's twin, Ichiru, in as a devoted servant. Shizuka's blood can prevent Zero from falling to Level E, and thus Yuuki risked her life for Zero to be able to drink Shizuka's blood. But Kaname killed Shizuka to protect Yuuki. Kaname drank her blood, but left some for Zero to drink as well. Unfortunately the blood was drunk by Ichiru who arrived at the scene first. Before dying, Shizuka warns Kaname that he will live in darkness and has summoned a sinister future for himself.
Takuma Ichijo
The vice-president of the Night Class, he is an upper-class vampire nearly as powerful as Kaname, whom he is close to and respects. He seems kind and lacks the dark atmosphere that surrounds most vampires, making him appear more like a human. His favorite reading material is manga; in one chapter, it seems he forced Aido into reading a vampire manga series. Ichijo appears to be aware that Kaname rescued Yuki when she was a child and has asked Yuki why her current relationship with Kaname no longer is the same as the one they had when she was a child. 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 grandpa allowed Takuma to come to Cross Academy is to spy on Kaname.
Ichiru Kiriyuu
Zero's younger twin brother. When they were younger, they were both taught by Tohga Yagari, though Ichiru did not seem to share Zero's natural ability because he was sickly. Zero and Ichiru were very close as children, although later Ichiru claims to have hated Zero after overhearing that his parents preferred Zero over himself. Ichiru now has been cured due to drinking Shizuka's blood and has appeared at Cross Academy as a student by the orders of Shiki's father.
Senri Shiki
One of the youngest Night Class members, he works as a model with Rima Tohya. When the night class is given orders to hunt down a level E vampire, Shiki is usually the one we see out hunting the level E vampires. Shiki has a whip-like weapon which develops from his blood. His father is also a pureblood and his uncle is part of the council. Shiki's body is now taken over by his father's soul, who is supposed to be dead.
Ruka Souen
A female vampire popular with the Day Class students and is one of those are the most faithful and protective of Kaname. She seems to dislike Zero because Kaname acknowledges him and carries bitterness for Yuki's place in Kaname's heart as her feelings for Kaname run deep. When Yuki was younger and had not become one of the school's Guardians yet, she once witnessed Kaname drinking Ruka's blood when she paid Kaname a visit. Ruka has feelings for Kaname, although he does not reciprocate them and only drank her blood one time to keep himself from biting Yuki.
Rima Tohya
One of the youngest night class students. She works as a model alongside Senri Shiki. Her exact relationship with Shiki is unknown, though they are almost always seen together, signifying a close relationship.
