I've been rewatching Ds9 with my girlfriend, and she was really disappointed when Vedek Bereil was killed off. I think it was great because it came out of no where, and most other shows would have gone forward with the relationship in a rather predictable way.
Then again, none of Kira's relationships really panned out. Shakaar was only seen in three episodes even though he was referred to in seasons 6-7. My whole question about him is why he wasn't around during the final arc? As the political leader of Bajor, he should have been there as a potential foil to Kai Winn. Maybe Kai Winn could have wound up killing him when she joined forces with Dukat.
Then there's Odo, and while it started off interesting ("His Way" is one of my favorite episodes despite the fact that people hate it), it kind of fizzled and went no where. Ultimately, Odo leaves her for the Great Link since it was for the greater good to heal his people and teach the Founders to trust the solids (some of them anyway).
I suppose Kira just has no luck with intimate relationships, but if you had to choose, which relationship was the best one, which would it be? I think I'd go with Bereil since the chemistry they had together seemed pretty genuine, and he had a bit of a calming effect on her. It's ashame they killed him I suppose since it would have been interesting to see his chracter react to Kai Winn and perhaps even Shakaar.

they were well-matched and hated each other. what better ingredients to a romance for an ex-terrorist and her target? besides, Alaimo and Visitor had fantastic screen chemistry. every single one of their scenes together sizzled.
