I agree with MikazukiPhoenix in thinking that Yuuki is really a pureblood. I don't think that Kaname is her actual brother, only that he was raised with her family so he is "like" her brother. However, I don't know how they are related. In this chapter Juri states, "This kid doesn't seem to be the old man's grandchild. He liked him." Who exactly is "grandfather" and why does Juri refer to Kaname as "this kid" if he is her son that is just weird. I seems to me that this statement seems to imply that Kaname is not Haruka and Juri's real child. I think that Yuuki is Haruka's actual daughter. Also, in response to Hatsumi regaurding the question of why Kaname fights when there are two adult purebloods is to remind you that before Kaname says, "About Rido... If I wont be able to finish him off... then it couldn't be helped, " Yuuki mentions that she smells her father's blood. To me this means that her father has been attacked/is fighting and will mostlikely be killed. As for her mother, it seemed to me that whatever she did to make Yuuki human cost her life as she looked fine before she took Yuuki into the next room. My theory in regards to Rido is that he was Kuran Haruka's older brother and killed him to get to Yuuki. "What I can't figure out is who exactly he is and why Yuuki would be higher than Kaname if they are both Kuran's. Is she some kind of special "princess" that has some sort of power so Rido wants her as a sacrafice to give him more power? My personal theory is that Kaname is a cousin of Yuuki's because Rido refers to "Kuran's blood" meaning Kaname's blood. In my head, with absolutly no proof, I am currently entertaining the idea that Kaname is Rido's son and went to live with Haruka when his father went rouge as Haruka states, "You're under the senate's surveillance and yet you've come out oniisama." However, as I said, I have no real proof it is just fun for me to imagine it that way. My final question is, What's with the council? In the last chapter Kaname asks, "Can I guess you are on the council's side" and then in this chapter Haruka states, "Lately the Senate wants to use the purebloods for the value of our existance and the power of our blood" in explaining why they are hiding her from the other vampires. This doesn't seem to make much sense to me considering the respect that the vampires at the school show Kaname since he is a pureblood. Man, I can't wait for the next chapter to come out, I hope that it can answer some of my questions and clear my confusion. By the way, if anyone has any possible answers to any of my questions, please reply. Thanks.
