So many questions

So I've been thinking about CCS, TRC, xxxHolic and the current chapters.


It's pretty much a given that Sakura and Syaoran are dead since they're Watanuki's parents. (fuck you CLAMP)

So what happened to Yue and Kero? Are they back in the book waiting for a new master of the cards? I guess they must be. Kero can adapt more easily but this would make it the second time that Yue got "abandoned" and I can't really see him wanting to accept another new master.

Then there's Yukito. Without Yue, Yukito doesn't exist. I know he got power from Touya but wouldn't Yukito/Yue still have to rely a bit on Sakura's power? Did CLAMP really just kill two of their most beloved pairings with 'Holic and TRC?

Man, at least Sakura and Syaoran get to be dead together. Touya however gets to spend the rest of his life without Yukito.

I think that's what annoys me most about the whole Watanuki-is-their-son business. I don't really mind it when CLAMP does do bad things to pairings I like (SeiSub is my OTP after-all), but it would be nice for them to actually show it instead of randomly telling us that couples we thought got to live 'Happily Ever After' ended up in such bad shape.

I haven't actually read the newest chapters yet (I'm on a really slow internet connection now that can't easily download the chapters), but I've been reading what people have been saying so I have a bit of an idea what's going on with Watanuki.

Is it possible at all that S and S could have lived out their lives naturally? I know CCS was set in the present day when it was made, and xxxHolic is set in this very present day, but there are not as much clues in CCS as to when it was. As far as I recall they don't really make referrences to real life things in CCS, like the way they do about TV shows and so on in 'holic, so it's possible that (within reason) it could be set any time.

Actually no. That doesn't work at all. The earliest it could be conceivably set is the 80s really, and at that they should still be alive. And even if CCS was decades ago, and we pushed xxxHolic a couple of decades into the future (Yuuko could still know about her shows, we don't know what age she is) it still doesn't answer your questions about Yue, Yukito and Kero.

I just don't know. I feel in my bones that they won't angst up CCS, S/S and T/Y but I don't see how they're going to get out of it at this stage.
