The first story within the novel looks at an incident that occurred at Cross Academy in the year preceding Yuki’s arrival about a Day Class student named Fuka Kisaragi, while the second story details an incident that occurred while Zero was still in training to be a vampire hunter alongside Kaito Takamiya, another boy training under Toga Yagari to be a vampire hunter.
