Honestly, I love Shigure, have loved him since V.4, but I find him sometimes despicable and an arse. No matter how much he loves Akito, it doesn't justify his actions. I can hardly absolve Akito in my mind; I'd never do it for Shigure. For one thing, he's a petty, jealous bastard too. Oh, I am absolutely in love with that aspect of him. He loves Akito so damn much, he pretty much would be willing to commit murder to get her. He didn't kill anyone, but he pretty much shoved people Rin and Kureno into metaphorical firepits to get what he wanted. I think if it killing Yuki and Kyo would have cemented Akito to his side, he probably would have done it. If kicking Tohru out of his house might have made Akito all his, he probably would have done it. That's the thing about Shigure; he has no limit on what he would do to get Akito. And that's admirable in a sense and really disturbing in another.
But the reason, for me at least, in why I think their relationship might actually work is because Akito is just as fucked up as him and they work for each other. They both desperately want each other, to the point that if they blended into one, I'd think they'd be happiest. All Shigure wanted was Akito to belong solely to him and all Akito ever wanted was someone who loved her just for her and no other reason. And that makes them perfect for each other. XD
