long and useless

While I'm a whore for Akito/Shigure, I can't help but just twitch over a Kureno/Akito. Why? Because their mutually-dependent relationship is almost parasitic, but there are times I wonder how close and how far they actually are. Akito obviously favours Kureno above all the others, but why? Why does he keep Kureno so close to him? Why does Kureno stay so close to Akito? Remember, even though Akito has told us that Kureno is the Rooster, we've never actually seen Kureno change into Rooster form.

In many ways, he is the most mysterious of the Sohma's. Not Akito, not Shigure, but Kureno. *shivers* >_<

Also, I've been thinking about the Hatori/Kana arc. While what Akito did was definitely wrong for many obvious reasons, but it's also clear that what Akito did might have a measure of sanity amid the madness. Think about it. If Hatori and Kana had gotten married, what could they do? They'd never be able to hug. They'd never be able to have sex. They'd never be able to do any of the things that any other couple could do without a second thought.

It would be highly likely that eventually, their relationship would end and end rather terribly. While Akito made it quick and brutal, and left a lasting scar, it made them hate him rather than hate themselves, which might have been worse. I'm probably seeing too much into it, but realistically, if Kana couldn't handle Akito trying to destroy their relationship, then most likely, she wouldn't have been able to handle the eventual slap of reality when she finds out she can never sleep in her husband's arms.

Worth some thought.
