I am deeply in love of this ship as this is my OTP of the Vampire Knight manga series.

Zero and Yuuki have so much history together and have for the most part supported each other in their times of need. Their love for each other is so tangible and obvious some times that it hurts. Just recently in the manga Yuuki admitted that she loves Zero as a lover not as family just to be clear here and I couldn't be anymore happier. Zero though initially had trouble conveying his feelings towards Yuuki, but his actions of affection towards her spoke louder than words. The main things for the most part that got in the way of this ship was Yuuki's incisiveness and Kaname Kuran's constant cock-blocking. Even though Zero and Yuuki have only kissed twice throughout the entire span of the manga so far I think that they have more than made up for that with the many intimate scenes that they've shared.

Verdict

This ship has my full support as I feel that Zero and Yuuki are a match made in heaven. I hope with the manga supposedly ending soon that a Zeki ending will happen, but I'm scared as this is a tragedy-shoujo manga so anything can happen.

With Vampire Knight seemingly according to a rumor is ending in March 2013 I found this a fitting time to post my thoughts on the two major driving ships within the series Yume and Zeki.

Where do I even begin with the ship that is known as Yume? Well starting off in the beginning of the Vampire Knight manga series I was torn between Yume and Zeki and didn't know which ship I preferred over the other. Until the Rido Kuran Arc when Kaname talked to Zero when he was in that underground cell. After that event I came to despise Kaname and therefore came to dislike the Yume ship. Kaname Kuran is a clever, calculating character and seems to know how to get people to do what he wants as he knows their weaknesses. Lately, in the VK fandom there seems to be a huge dislike of Yuuki and I can see where these people are coming from but when it comes to Yuuki I just analyze her unique upbringing and things just come into perspective for me. As seen multiple times during the manga Yuuki loves both Kaname and Zero and in turn they both love her dearly as well and from this we get our angst love triangle. During these past chapters that have come out and with Kaname being on his slayer mission of killing all of the Pure-blood vampires with the exception of Yuuki of course I don't really know where his feelings currently stand. At this point it seems he's abandoned Yuuki and in a sense has set her free as at one point he did call her a hindrance to his plans.

Verdict

I think Kaname does still love Yuuki and cares for her but is super focused on his task of eliminating all of the Pure-blood vampires. Kaname has always done things behind the scenes for Yuuki's sake regardless of the mess that his actions will create later. Lately, I've been feeling that Kaname felt obligated to protect Yuuki since Haruka and Juuri Kuran wanted him too, but he never loved Yuuki as deep or like a true lover as he did the ancestress.
