Yeah the final scene with the shots is quite interesting... I have no doubt that it was ment to be excruciatingly ambigous so that everyone can decide for themselves what happened. Right now I lean toward the suggestion that the Soldats killed Kirika and Mireiyu. I mean there where 2 shots, and it makes sense. These Soldats want to keep their power, and they know that these two assasins have killing ability above any of them. It's not like they would hesitate to kill Kirika and Mireiyu, and they had their backs turned. It's a pretty bitter ending, but that's just the way life goes...
I guess it could be Mireiyu killing Kirika, I always expected something would come of that in the ending, but I think that issue was more than settled beforehand, so settled infact that I think it's illogical to beleive that Mireyui killed her then. Not only had there been those occurances like when Kirika saved Mireiyu and the letter that Kirika had written, but just moments before Kirika had been in a position of near death, and Mireiyu begged her to live, and she accepted. Nothing more was going to happen, if Mireiyu wanted Kirika to die she would have let her die there. Plus, a side note, Kirika had killed Kuroe to save Mireiyu after Kirika's and Mireiyu's battle. I think that scene, if not the other scenes, shows that the death agreement had been settled. What's more, Kirika is the better fighter of the two, so Kirika would have either had to be caught off-guard (which is very unlike her, but understandable considering the situation) or Kirika would have allowed it to happen, and I think she got over that after the previous occurance when Kirika's past was revealed. So, what I'm saying is, Mireiyu would have to have been even more decieving and manipulative than Arutena was to have killed Kirika at the end. It's definetly a possible end, but I wouldn't bet on it.
