...While I don't deny the pairing would be interesting, I can't say I'd like it. Akai...well...I really rather prefer him with Akemi, who seemed to bring out his gentle and warmer side. It's obvious he still misses her and is completely in love with her, so really, I'd prefer him stay that way. Haibara would feel it would be betrayal to her sister if she fell in love with Akai, and while it would create an interesting situation, I really don't care for it. not at all. Akai, as KKLT said, seems to be more of an older brother than anything, or perhaps a guardian.
