I gave into a spoiler tease at fandom_wank and got the most interesting about-face spoiler for Fruits Basket ever.

Seriously. This changes how I see everything in the show/manga. I have to go back and reread everything now and take in this new revelation.

I've avoided most spoilers up to this point, and to be honest I don't think this spoiler is connected to any others so I'm still mostly clean. But, damn. What a spoiler. I'm going to shriek about it in a comment below.

Hee! Well, I have suspicion that Hatori/Shigure/Ayame knows about this. Remember that coversation...Volume 4 I think? Shigure reminded Hatori about his dream and how the three of them end up crying together or something. Then he goes and and says that Akito is the most important person in his life and he will do anything to protect it.

I have to tell you, Akito being a woman is but only a part of a bigger revelation...I just wanted to let you know because it's important.

I don't see how they couldn't know, being the oldest and being alive when Akito was born. In fact, I don't know how Yuki, Kagura, Haru, and Momiji couldn't know either, if they lived in the main house and grew up with Akito. I guess if Kyo was constantly outcast then he might not know, and I can see how Hiro and Kisa might not know if it was well-hidden because they are younger, but it sounds to me like the kinda thing that all the main circle would know about.

I don't know though. And don't tell me! My brain is fried enough already. @.@

I was wondering what that dream in volume 4 was about. I have noticed that Shigure in the manga is a bit more...clandestine and vaguely suspicious than Shigure in the anime.
