I'd like to open up a discussion about something that is never clarified in the manga but is an important part of Shigure's character. The dream he has of Akito that makes him fall in love with her and want to possess her. Honestly I think it's an ingenious idea and made Shigure even more mysterious than he already was, however I would of liked to know just why exactly he fell in love with Akito in the dream at first sight but none of the others did...... He even says how she seemed so familiar to him and how he wanted to capture that feeling and make it his...... It really makes you wonder just what happened in Shigure's past or if he and Akito were connected in some way in their previous lives....
What's great about this plot element though is that it leaves a lot to work on for us fic writers, it's great fodder for fanfiction and we can come up with any explanation possible as to why Shigure felt the way that he did about that dream of Akito, I'd like to hear what everyone's explanation is for that. For me I find it a great way to crossover Fruits Basket with Sailor Moon since the dreams fit so well with the dreams Mamoru had of the Moon Princess and how they were lovers in a past life. What's your take on it......
