Shigure meets his manager at a restaurant where Akito is
coincidentally there with Shigure's parents. Later, Akito comes home
to find Shigure waiting and pursues him about the woman (manager) who
was with him. Soon the conversation turns to Shigure sleeping with
Ren and he confesses he slept with her only because Akito did it with
Kureno. *You sure you want to read on??? I'm warning you!!!* In
the past, Shigure confessed to Kureno that he loves Akito. Now with
Akito becoming more hysterical, Shigure tries to leave before she
grabs him for a kiss and he pushes her down without resistance. *See
I warned you!!! ><*

Tohru decides to tell Rin and goes to her school. However, she
discovers Rin has been readmitted to hospital.

I left out a little piece of puzzle from this chap, but I'm sure it's
pretty self-explanatory after having read previous spoiler.

Shigure mentions the reason he lives where he is now. Obviously,
Akito had ordered him to leave the main Souma property after
suspecting he has slept with Ren. Up until this chap, Akito didn't
really know but spectulated about Shigure and Ren.

On the personal note, I saw it coming, too with hints Takaya-sensei
left behind throughout the series. This is a chap I had been long
waiting for to explain Shigure's attitude towards Akito and Kureno.
If you hadn't noticed, he hates Kureno for being the one close to
Akito. Kureno acknowledges all and tries to suggest him to show a
little kindness to her in this chap. As much as dark he is, I still
love Shigure. ^^
