Wow, I really loved this! Both Akito and Shigure were wonderfully IC, which makes me especially giddy re: Shigure's part, since so many times, fic-authors get him wrong. (Well, he isn't called "ripples" for nothing, I suppose. XD)

Here, though, you characterized him perfectly; we see him as Akito has always seen him: aloof, fine by himself, mysterious. And for a moment, we also get to glimpse beyond the surface, into something very dark and intense; the scene of him giving Akito that disturbing piece of story to read, as well as his cryptic, dark words to her, gave me chills!

Akito's characterization was spot-on, too. I liked her defense of the characters in Shigure's story; it seems like, maybe, subconsciously, she knew that he already knew about her and Kureno, and was perhaps indirectly trying to defend herself. The whole, "You said you'd love me no matter what" and "you can't trick us like that" thing. Don't know if that was intentional on your part, though.

Oh! And the ending was perfect, as well; it really pulled the fic's purpose/message together. ^^ All in all, great job! You should write Shikito fics more often. XD
