dangermousieSo, I finished chapter 98 of Fruits Basket (it's in vol 17).
And now I know Akito's big secret. And Kureno's.
And guess what? My Akito hatred is stronger than ever. It only made me loathe Akito more.
So Akito is a girl made to grow up as a boy and her mother is unkind.
Too fucking bad.
I don't care. The horrible things she's done to everyone, the mental, emotional and physical anguish she's inflicted on the zodiac people?
There is no excuse.
So her Mommy didn't smother her with hugs and kisses?
I DON'T CARE.
I will not care for an abuser (and such a horrific one) just because she was abused herself (and I am sorry, compared to the stuff Akito inflicted on others, the fact that her Mommy didn't do her hair and make her pb&j sandwiches when she was little just doesn't cut it).
Look at Kyo! Look at Yuki! They have both been horrifically abused (largely by Akito) way beyond the wildest dreams of Akito's Mom. But guess what? They aren't monsters. Look at Rin and Haru and Hatori and Kisa, and even Kureno, all of them screwed up or mistreated by Akito.
They are still human.
Akito is not. She is a monster.
The thing with Kureno actually makes me want to stab Akito in the face twice as much. Kureno had his curse lifted when he was 15-16 or so. And Akito (who was 12 or so) threw a crying fit because she didn't want to be left alone. So Kureno, who is probably the kindest character in the manga, promised her he will always stay with her.
His reward? Akito never lets him out, treats him as a pet, insults him, hits him, and is just...Once Akito is secure, he will never appreciate or let go.
Man. Kureno is her lover. But all he feels is obligation and Akito is all about keeping him chained up. When a guy who is 26 admits that on meeting Uo it was the first time he fell in love, as a man, that's just...*stabs Akito in the face*
Yes, after 98 my view that Akito has a bad!wrong vibe with all her male zodiac members is written in stone. And you know, because Kureno is over the age of consent doesn't make it not abusive. And the way she is around Hatori or even younger ones like Haru or Yuki *shudder* is the same.
Did I mention that in the previous chapter Akito slashed Yuki's face because Yuki told Akito he forgave Akito for mistreatment and will be his own person?
(Btw, on Kyo/Tohru front, the fact that he wants to spend New Year with her is adorable).
Anyway, I bring you awesome scans where Kureno is with Tohru, explaining it all to her, about why he can't be with Uo.
Dammit.
Vol 96. Akito and Kureno in their dysfunctional 'glory.' As he is missing Uo but being with Akito!
Some scans from the meeting between Kureno and Tohru in vol 98:
As he shows her his curse has been lifted:
OMG! Be still my shippy heart. Kureno admitting how much he misses Uo and that he must stay with Akito anyway. *stabs Akito in the face*:
Uo missage:
His telling Tohru about his curse lifting years ago:
And remembering giving himself to Akito (and there is crying!) Seriously, he is too kind. I think sadistic psychos shouldn't get compassion:
And then later (heeee, nope, not when Akito was 12. Kureno is not a pedophile though I wish he was a murderer :P) he is still still stuck and even is her boytoy. *stabs Akito again*:
And then he comes back from the meeting to be met by a wonderful, wonderful Akito. Seriously, my Akito hate is immense:
Haru and Rin. And here is why I love them in a nutshell. She broke up with him, to protect him (without telling him why) and yet he comes in, in secret, anyway, to take care of her:
