Vampire Knight DS: Walkthrough: Kuran Kaname: Chapter One
I've collected several links featuring capture guides in anticipation of playing the game. They made literally no sense before but are much more understandable now. I hope this brief walkthrough will help you in your quest to conquer your favourite bishie's undead heart.
UPDATE: Someone (fireylight) submitted a FAQ & Walkthrough for this game on GameFAQs. Check it out!
Introduction
First off, I should warn you that this is not a complete guide. I merely wanted to familiarize myself with the game play until my DSi arrives. (Update: Stupid region locks. Aaaaargh!!!!! *returns DSi and gets a DS Lite*) Thus, it will only cover the first chapter of Kaname's story. (I've spoiled myself enough already. >_<) There's also no guarantee this walkthrough is right so please save, save, save. Some walkthrough this is! *lol* So, moving on...
Where To Get The Game
I received mine from Play-Asia. YesAsia also has it available. Check out Google Shopping for more retailers.
Credits & Resources
Your first task is to check out the resources. Much of the credit belongs to ＤＳ ヴァンパイア騎士 ちょびっと攻略 - I just tried to make sense out if it all. ^-^ Keep in mind that you will need to visit this site to continue the later chapters:

Other Guides
I recommend that you read these either before or while you're playing the game. Reading it after would be kind of be too late if you're not familiar with the game or can't understand Japanese.

The Essentials
Starting the game is fairly simple. Once you're past the opening credits, choose 「New Game」. It will ask for your family name and your personal name. 「OK」? Default is Cross Yuuki. If you know what your name is in Japanese, go ahead use it. The VK characters will not voice your name, but it will display in the text box.
Saving is also simple. Go to 「Menu」. Choose 「Save」. Tap to pick any data slot from one to six. If you wish to load a saved game, go to 「Menu」 and 「Game End」. Confirm 「Yes」. You will be taken to the main screen. Choose 「Continue」 and pick your desired slot. Voila! (I recommend that you save often - especially right before a mini-game.)

Closing Paragraphs
Hopefully by now you've gotten a feel for the game and can follow the directions on this lovely site on your own. If you have any questions or find any inconsistencies, I will try to help you.
And, no, I cannot translate what is being said in the game. I actually only have a vague idea of what's happening. My Japanese is limited to statements like アリガトウ, スミマセン, ゴメンナサイ, シツレイ, and マダマダダネ. You have no idea how excited I get when I hear those words. XD XD XD So, umm, ゴメンネ. If you do come across another more in-depth summary, please let me know. Pretty please? ^o^/ Anyways, thank you and have fun!
