Author: I would like to apologize for that confusing last chapter; I would like to take this time to go over it with you so that it makes sense. Ok, first off, Akito brought Tohru into the forest to get rid of her right? Well, remember when Tohru said "There must be a reason...you act the way you do" and remember that Akito said, "You're about to find out that reason" then Akito placed her hand on Tohru's Forehead. Basically, Akito was going to pass her sight of those awful visions to Tohru. Making her go through the same fate that Akito did.
So when she was passing the curse to Tohru by touching her forehead, Tohru saw a black figure come towards her and Akito. That black figure was a vision, Tohru had just began to see visions and that black figure walking towards the both of them was suppose to be the Grim Reaper. Now, passing a curse to someone is very hard and difficult, so basically both of them got hurt, that was the sharp pain in their heads.
So when Shigure came, one of them didn't survive the curse passing, and the other was just knocked unconscious. I am not going to tell you which one lived or died because that is something you're going to have to figure out on your own.
The reason Akito decided to pass the curse was so that no one would know that Akito did anything, the curse would slowly kill Tohru so in its own way that was the murder plan. No one would have believed Tohru was seeing visions because no one believed Akito, they thought she was just insane. So that was the murder plan the whole time, to pass the curse to Akito. Oh and yes, that was the curse caused by the Chinese zodiac.
I am sorry it was so confusing, I tend to do those sorts of things with my serious fics, I like to let the readers guess but, it didn't work out this time. This is going to be one of my last stories, it will be rare that I make a new story, so for the people that like my stories thank you, but don't expect much more in the near future.
Thank you and my most sincerest apologies,
