The look on Zero's face in the hallway was absolutely heart-breaking. At this point in the story I can honestly say that I don't care who Yuuki ends up with so long as Zero can find some peace with himself.
A few of my own personal speculations and musings:
1. I suspect that Zero's increasing blood lust is largely due to his feelings for Yuuki -- the only person's blood, according to Zero, he ever desired. Noteworthy is that, according to the manga, a vampire's hunger can only be satisfied by the blood of his/her loved one. Assuming that Zero has stabilized, he shouldn't be falling to level E -- though, Miss Hino has been very ambiguous on this topic. I imagine that Zero is confusing his "disgusting" desire for Yuuki's blood with a natural vampiric phenomena.
2. From the way the manga has progressed, I largely suspect that the OTP will be ZeroxYuuki. To be brief, a few of my reasons:
* Throughout the series, Yuuki has expressed that she has a more natural relationship with Zero than with Kaname.
* Yuuki appears to be more "herself" around Zero. In contrast, Yuuki resembles a fine porcelain doll when near Kaname.
* Yuuki and Zero continue to agonize over their mixed feelings for one-another, even this late in the story. As the story progresses, their feelings for one-another appear to be maturing.
* Kaname is Yuuki's ancestor. He has already lived, loved, and lost. While Yuuki and Zero are both young with so much to live for, Kaname has continuously expressed that he doesn't have the same "will to live" -- so to speak. From my point of view, Kaname sincerely loves Yuuki and the opportunity she has given him to enjoy life with loved ones. However, I don't see him as a character who will make it through to the end.
* I have my suspicions that Kaname plans to wipe out the line of Purebloods (save Yuuki). From what we have seen, it appears to me that we are in the "last age of the purebloods" -- for lack of a better term. Without the purebloods to lead them, I see the vampire society becoming responsible for their actions and moving in a direction of political control similar to humans. Instead of lusting after the blood of purebloods or fearing their power, the vampires will be forced to work toward a better future on their own through more righteous means. Yuuki is obviously not interested in leading anyone. I'm rambling a bit but I would be happy to explain my thoughts more clearly if anyone is interested.
* Etc. I have more reasons for believing the way that I do but I'm too lazy to list them at the moment.
3. Sara will likely attempt to become the wedge between Yuuki and Kaname.
4. One of the two will occur in the near future: Zero will drink Yuuki's blood or she will drink his.
All-in-all, it was a good chapter. I'm a bit disappointed by the continued ambiguities expressed by each of the characters *sighs* but such is the nature of VK. It was a very well-rounded chapter that gave us some insight into how many of our characters are progressing.

with no lines from zero, (or he's nothing at all).. it obviously means that all he does is watch after yuuki.. geez ! i think so too, that with this flow, there might be sucking blood thing with zero and yuuki.. i feel bad for my kaname. :(

I agree with you in number 1&4. In 2, I have no idea how to express myself; though I'm curious to as why Kaname is killing purebloods one after another, also it goes the same to his relationship with Yuuki - have they EVER acted all lovey-dovey other than just hugging for a while and talking seriously? I haven't seen it. Meanwhile, Zero&Yuuki are hitting the other, what I mean - there's SOMETHING happening. Action. And number 3: if there are some fans, then I'm sorry - I detest Sara COMPLETELY. I don't like her. And in this case, I think she wants to incite to rebellion in Night Class to disobey every word that Yuuki says(while in school).
And my funny sight: Yuuki in Night Class's clothes! XD X3

From what that is going on with Kaname and Sara, they are having a war of who eats up the most purebloods.
So, there are only 7families of purebloods(according to vol 12). Lets assume all the other purebloods have only 1 person(exept the Kurans).
After they got their share of purebloods, there will be an extra pureblood, and the person who takes him is the winner, as it makes one more powerful than the other.
IF Kaname were to lose this game, Sara would be more powerful than him. So, in order to protect Yuki, he would have to sacrifice himself to Yuki so that she will be the most powerful pureblood(and so as to protect herself from Sara and maybe even kill her)
A Sara Vs Yuki would be one of the most epic scene ever =]

I believe Kaname will sacrifice himself for Yuki, so that she will be the most powerful pureblood, so as to protect herself from Sara.

.....maybe she'll get blood from Aidou?!
^THIS. I want to see that happen. :))
And yes, I also feel the same---that, Zero and Yuuki ends up drinking one another's blood. And, there will be lots of "inner struggle against that", in that way, Matsuri Hino-san can make more twists and torture us more. IMO. Hahaha.
haha i agree i want to see that too, and yes i also think that its inevitable that either yuuki or zero will drink each others blood. ah i cant wait for the next chapter
