She does so for two reasons. One, her sworn duty as a vmpire hunter. And two, because Saki herself has become Miyoko's favorite target in terms of sucking her blood 'and' pursuing her romantically.

Sometimes a HunterOfMonsters ends up really hitting it off with... well, a monster. Be it [[VampiresAreSexGods vampires]], [[YouSexyBeast werewolves]], [[HornyDevil demons]], or some other traditionally monstrous creature given the HotterAndSexier treatment; as long as they end up romantically or sexually entangled with someone who's ''supposed'' to be hunting them down, they qualify.

This trope tends to play out in one of two ways; either the Bob and Alice fall for each other with one or both of them not realizing that Bob is a vampire and Alice is a VampireHunter, or Bob and Alice already ''know'' they're sworn enemies but are [[TeethClenchedTeamwork forced to work together]] for long enough that they develop an InconvenientAttraction. This obviously leads to much drama, as Alice and her friends might have killed Bob's vampire buddies, or vice-versa. If Bob turns out to be a pretty decent guy who acts [[FantasticRacism nothing like what Alice has been lead to believe about vampires]], she may come to question the morality of her past vampire slayings. If Alice was DatingCatwoman, Bob may begin to feel wrong about preying on people no different from his beloved and decide to become FriendlyNeighbourhoodVampire or even a HunterOfHisOwnKind. GreyAndGreyMorality may come into play if both sides of the conflict have equally valid and/or invalid arguments.
Often leads to DefectingForLove, HeelFaceTurn, LoveRedeems, and is almost guaranteed to accompany a boatload of CharacterDevelopment. If others disapprove of the relationship, it's a MalignedMixedMarriage. SubTrope of StarcrossedLovers and ForbiddenLove. Compare InLoveWithTheMark. See BoyMeetsGhoul, InterspeciesRomance, and RomanticVampireBoy.
