I think S+S are BORING, even in TRC. I'll probably will be banned now, but I hate CCS, specially Sakura and Syaoran That is the main reason why I was not interested in TRC in the first place, but I slowly fell for it becasue in the other side the kind of relationship Kurogane and Fay are developing makes them a very hot couple and very interesting to see how it will end
Nobody's going to ban you for stating your opinion XD
Personally, I was nearly bored to tears with Syaoran and Sakura in TRC. Obviously, now it's all picking up...

Ironically enough, I think CLONE Syaoran has more personality than Syaoran did before...He's more interesting...
...I'm not as bored, but I still could care less about them. They're there. That's all. They have a sweet relationship, but it's been developing so slowly...I suppose it's because Sakura is having to relearn EVERYTHING she loved about Syaoran, without ever knowing she loved him...but still. It's so slow.
Kurogane and Fai from the very beginning interested me. They were so different, and I found them both hilarious. The difference in their relationship is that it has dynamics, and chemistry. And it has it in spades. With Syaoran and Sakura it' a typical 'childhood friends fall in love and are torn apart by a greater power'. With Kurogane and Fai you never quite know where they'll go next: one minute they're on amiable terms, the next Kurogane's yelling blue murder at Fai and Fai's annoying Kuro more by laughing. It takes a serious and dangerous thing to happen before Kurogane can throw aside his pride - something he obviously has in spades - and admit that he really cares about Fai. Given the tagline for Chapter 124, I think Clamp are implying that Fai may be the person who he'd do anything to protect. It's taken them a long time to pick at their relationship and let it evolve into what it is now; but it's been moving at a steady pace, rather than going at a mile per hour like Syaoran and Sakura.
I know I keep saying this, but I do love both pairings. I love KuroFai more, but Syaoran and Sakura have a special little corner in my heart. I liked them in CCS and, no matter how much they pale in comparison in Kurogane and Fai, I will always like them as a pairing. One thing I
do love about the parings is the parallels. Like Anemone's sig pic for example. A lot of the things between them are paralleling the other pairing: Syaoran going to extreme lengths to save Sakura, Kurogane going to extreme lengths to save Fai and so on...I enjoy seeing that. In order for Clamp to give Syaoran and Sakura some time together, they have to split them up from Kurogane and Fai. Thus both pairings get their time alone to develop their relationship (...although Syaoran and Sakura need a good kick up the backside...)
...And...yeah. I think I've said enough now XD;;
