Shiki finds out that Arcueid has came to school to visit Shiki while basking in the attentions of his classmates. Ciel is unhappy of Arcueid's presence. A misunderstanding happens between Shiki and his friends. Shiki finds out from arcueid the Nero was just an ordinary assassin. So they plan on going hunting that night. In the manor, Shiki tries to sneak out of the house. Hisui gave Shiki the house and gate keys so that it would be easier for him to get home. Arcueid tells him that the real vampire she was after was named Roa. Then while walking, they encounter their first acolyte.

Akiha reprimands Shiki in her own little way when he is late to breakfast and refuses food. She tells him that taking care of himself is more important than his studies, and they can hire a tutor if need be. Hisui confides that Akiha doesn't know he leaves the house every night....

Shiki and Akiha bid farewell to their maids and head out to meet Shiki's friends. Akiha is still pissed that she caught him sneaking in at 2AM the night before. He apologizes and she asks him not to do it again. If he continues to disobey, she will install a security camera... Shiki and Akiha join Inui, Ciel and Yumitsuka at the train station at 10AM. Akiha and Ciel take an immediate disliking to each other, and soon, Shiki confronts Akiha about her rude behavior to his friends. He then thinks back to the night before with Arc. She had asked him on a date, but he replied that he already had plans...

The news reports that last night, a girl named Andou Tomomi was found dead. She had left her friends around 7PM to ride the ferris wheel. Shiki is worried about Akiha, who has been acting strange since last night. He asks if it was something Ciel said. She gets up angrily but then faints. Shiki wants to call a doctor, but the maids remind him that Akiha hates doctors and assure him that she will recover with rest. Shiki is still concerned. Why would she get sick so suddenly? Kohaku explains that this often happens whenever Akiha suffers mental anguish. Shiki realizes that he is the cause and decides to stay with her tonight...

Shiki recovers from his attack under Akiha's watchful eye. He dreams of being a small boy who awakens to find himself along. He hears a woman's voice calling his name from beyond the trees. He follows it and finds a number of dead bodies that lie massacred. Above, the woman calling him lies impaled on a tree. She drops her knife and he picks it up. As she dies, her blood drips onto his face. Horrified, the young boy picks up the knife and starts slicing at the tree in frustration.

Shiki is still affected by the memory of the wound he received from his father and is unable to even face his sister Akiha; however he’s shocked when Arcueid arrives unexpectedly and very angry. Shiki ends up going out on a date with Arcueid to make it up to her and they both find out new things about each other. They both end up going to his school as Arcuied wants to know more about his everyday life, when all of a suddenly she gets upset when he mentions Ciel. Shiki tries to find out what’s wrong but they are interrupted by a series of events.

Arcueid flees, and Ciel explains that Arcueid was the White Princess of the True Ancestors until Roa offered her a rose with blood that caused her to undergo a cycle where she would awaken for brief periods to kill Roa and then go to sleep once more. Shiki goes to follow Arcueid but comes upon Roa and Akiha. Roa begins to overwhelm the two until Ciel arrives, but she is dispatched. Roa retreats and Ciel regenerates her wound. At home, Shiki finds that he was adopted, and that he swapped places with the actual Shiki Tohno after he went berserk. Shiki then goes to Arcueid, and makes love to her in her apartment. When he awakens, he finds a note with the words "Bye, Bye" on them.

After reading the farewell note Arcueid left for him, Shiki immediately heads out to look for her; however Ciel tries to stop him. Knowing that absolutely nothing is going to stop him from looking for Arcueid, Ciel decides to help him look for Arcueid who happens to be fighting Roa at the school.
