1) So, killing purebloods is equal to giving someone a gift? Scheming to have the events surrounding Zero's past happen is a gift? ...
Quote shortened to keep post shorter.
1. That was just one example, clearly you ignored my other ones. Zero has never killed anyone? ... um maybe you're forgetting that guy from the first half of the manga, his name started with R, he had an obsession with Yuuki's mom? Not saying Zero killing him was a bad thing but you should pick your words more carefully. And Zero hasn't always shown loyalty or care for Yuuki:
Chapter 37 Page 12
Chapter 43 Page 38
Chapter 54 Page 21
I also think we're reading a different manga because Kaname seemed perfectly happy as long as he was with Yuuki and when she wanted to be with him. It's being separated from her, and not being number one in her heart, that makes him dead inside, the only reason he separated himself from her and wants to jump into the furnace right now is because she wasn't laughing from the heart (a line straight from this weeks chapter)
2. I don't get how it would be her obsession, he lied to her about Aido-dono and has been lying to her since the beginning as she stated in this chapter it would be logical at this point to assume it was a lie. Fine, you want examples of her standing up to Kaname:
Chapter 56 Page22
Chapter 57 Page 13
Chapter 57 Page 14
Chapter 65 Page 25
Chapter 65 Page 26 (Maybe not as much but I love this scene XD)
Plus there was the fight scene in chapter 81, in that one you can't blame her for not being able to kill him because:
A) He stroked her cheek in the middle of battle, such a gentle action probably taking her by surprise and throwing off her concentration
And
B) Ruka put her under an illusion
3. Already provided examples of what Zero has done above, and just because he hasn't pulled the trigger doesn't mean it's him treating her as an equal the very fact that he POINTED the gun at her has shown that he saw her as a vampire and therefore not equal.
5. It's not romanticizing it, it's saying that it's perfectly acceptable to sleep with your fiance even if she is in love with both, because she was never in a relationship with Zero. Until she actually tells Kaname it's over she hasn't voided 'that engagement', and I don't think stopping Zero from killing himself and allowing him to drink her blood would void the engagement. If she hasn't spoken it, then it doesn't work. That's like saying my boyfriend moved and I lost contact with him so I guess it's over, it leaves things unresolved. I also don't get your last statement, yes people age and their feelings change but Yuuki still loves Kaname, the fact hasn't changed in the manga and she's also recognized the fact that he is her fiance.
6. What she can't be a mature pureblood vampire? She needs to be human in order to mature herself? I think she's doing just fine the way she is, and I don't think she's stupid to not accept getting her humanity back, it would mean sacrificing Kaname who is someone she cares about, I'd rather have her stay a vampire and work to keep Kaname alive than let him sacrifice himself.
7. Kaname didn't take advantage of her, taking advantage of her would imply he was the one that would be clinging to her and kissing her. Rather she was the one holding him until it became painful she even kissed him. And he said that he would do it if she would have him:

8. She starting to care? She does care for him:
Chapter 88 Page 40
But there's also that 'But I...' after the kiss:
Chapter 88 Page 41
Which can be interpreted many ways as Hino-sensei has not finished up that thought yet. I interpret it as 'But I love Kaname more'. You make this chapter seem like it was really out of the blue when it wasn't. Yuuki ultimately believes in Kaname, she trusts him:

Chapter 73 Page 21
I guess whether you choose to see it as obsession or love and her going back to Kaname as random is your problem. I've said my piece and I'm just going to agree to disagree.
