I am SO going to get stabbed to death after this post....
I don't believe this chaptire prooves KuroFai is canon. Why? Because Kuro-pon is a natural protector.
Think about who he is, and his history. He wanted to protect his village as a child. He wanted to protect his princess as an adult. It's only natural that, since Fai is a companion of his, he'd want to protect him. If you can say that KuroFai is canon, just because he stopped Clone-kun from killing Fai, you could call Kuro x Sakura canon, because he wanted to protect her when she stopped breathing, and in general, they all protect the princess. (not that KuroSaku is canon at ALL.... ¬_¬) I stil think it's canon, but this chaptire isn't the 'zomfg canon canon canon' chaptire of doom. If Fai were the attacker, and Syaoran were the victim, he'd do the exact same thing for Syaoran. If MOKONA were the attacker, he'd protect whoever the victim is, because he is Kurogane. That's just what he does.
....okay, I'm going to get shot. I'm going to get shot. >_<;

I half agree with you though. I don't say this makes KuroFai canon...I don't. What I think is...it's a step towards it. Sure, Kuro-tan's a natural protector, but more than anything it's the speech he gives to Syaoran. It proves he's managed to see right through Fai, and see how much he's really been changing. Despite the ticking off he gave Fai in Chapter 112, he can still see that he's changed. No one else has managed to see that, so to me it implies a sort of need to protect/care about Fai (even if he doesn't show it.) and a strange sort of connect, or closeness. It's not undefiniable proof or anything...(
I'm just waiting for the hurt/comfort make out session. CLAMP are evil and wouldn't give us the hurt/comfort sex >>) but...yeah.
To me, it's not definite proof of canon, but it's definitely a stepping
boulder stone to the pairing I reckon.
My fangirl side is still twitching and giggling at all the protectiveness. He did...kinda...have more of a freak out than I've seen him have before. So...there's another point. ^^;;

Wow. I think I'm the only one here right now. That's, what? Three posts in a row for me? o.o
