I also believe that akai is still alive.
And since there's a high probability that okiya is akai i'm wondering if there's a high chance that akai will soon appear as himself again and not in disguise in the coming files...but that would be too dangerous for kir, right?
what do you think guys? what's your idea? maybe rena fled from the organisation?
(*sigh* yes, i want to see the real akai again, i miss him ...)
