Summary: 4 Stars
In this volume, the cast deals with the consequences of Kaname's shocking actions as the lives of several characters are thrown into chaos.
Shizuka's death has the immediate result of sicking the vampire Senate on Zero - who is, of course, the logical prime suspect - a situation not particularly helped by the fact that Kaname doesn't pipe up about the truth. He does, however, rally the night class around Zero to help avert a disaster.
On more personal levels, Ichijo starts to stress over Kaname, very aware that he isn't himself, at the same time that Kain starts worrying over Aido - who spirals into a deep depression as he suffers the burden of being the only witness to Kaname's capital crime at the end of the last volume, having been at the doorway at the critical moment.
Unable to handle staying in Moon Dorm under the circumstances, and with the President busy dealing with damage control, he turns to Yuki and Zero - who take him in as a roommate in Sun Dorm, seeing that he's clearly upset although he won't tell them details. In some ways, this is actually Aido's volume, as he and Yuki verge on a tentative friendship, and he shows that he has at least a shred of integrity and isn't a complete and total malicious jerk when the living arrangements inevitably lead to him finding out the whole situation between Yuki and Zero. The scenes between the three are both amusing (we're talking Yuki and Aido dorming together, need we say more?) and surprisingly touching considering Aido's personality as we've known it thus far.
As Kaname goes to confront the Senate with backup from Ichijo and Kain, Vampire Knight continues to develop it's character relationships and political jockeying among the vampire clans, and continues to become much more interesting than it seemed it would in the initial volumes.
