Another break. T_T CLAMP will be the death of me.

Colour pages are always a bonus though. Thanks tg.

[Meowzy]

Colour pages? Fweeee!
I wonder what will be on them... Probably something cute and Fai-ish!
*hugs Fai*
... Wait... I think I had a dream about Fai tonight... I can't remember what it was, though.

[Zettai daijoubu]

ok question (if this haven been asked):
if C!Syaoran loves Sakura, why did he go into another world despite Sakura begging him not to?!?! Why is he so heartless to dump Sakura there.. Why does he get feathers for Sakura and yet listen to Reed Wong's instructions? (to cross worlds in this case)

Duh. Because he doesn't have a soul anymore. Right now, he's just an empty shell, doing what he was created for. Collecting feathers.
Real Syaoran said there was a possibility the clone would grow his own heart/soul. But apparently he hasn't.

[SuSei_love]

But, I believe that in the end, he will realize that he loved her with his own heart, not with Real-Shaoran's. Now, he is just woke up, may be, day by day, Clone-Shaoran's heart will grow.

      Hix, I just hope so, because, I want Sakura and Clone-Shaoran to end up together ! Plus, I think that Sakura can only love one person, it's Clone-Shaoran !!!

    Poor Sakura !!!

[Emiko]

I think Fai's past is going to be revealed SOON. I just get this nigging feeling that it's right around the corner.

[dark_persian]

Oh wow. This chapter was just... just fantastic. So packed with emotion! And Subaru was just gorgeous wasn't he?! *pinches his cheeks* (I think we’re enough pages in to not use spoiler tags anymore right?)

As for all the KuroxFai, I was taken completely unawares by it. The butt holding alone was enough to sate my inner-fangirl, but then we get that beautiful conflict scene at the end!

To all the nay-sayers, you're right, it may not be a love confession but we can now definitely conclude that it is canon that Kurogane really does care for Fai an awful lot. For him to even consider making a deal with Yuko, who he hates, is proof enough. In Outo, he didn't even want to be indebted to her for the chocolates, no doubt he's well aware that the price for saving a life is going to very high.

I love the way CLAMP had Kurogane deal with his hurt and frustration with anger and violence. It seems to be the only way he can express himself and Fai obviously realises that. Even when he's in a lot of pain, being dragged up off the bed by his shirt, he still finds the energy to give a little smile and say sorry to Kuro-pu before he passes out again!

Ah, beautifully put, persian. You know, that's something both Kurogane and Fye have in common: they can't express their feelings plainly and openly, but have to do it like the little boy pulling at the girl's hair to show her how much he likes her. Fye does it with his neverending teasing and fun-making to enrage Kurogane, Kurogane is better with his fists than words. (Though we've already seen how wonderfully he can deal with words.) That's just the way they are. And I love CLAMP for it!

[Snow-chan]

I think Fai's past is going to be revealed SOON. I just get this nigging feeling that it's right around the corner.

This is about the best time for it, I agree, all has led up to it - that he can/will use magic, the revelation of the huge extent of it that raises the question of why he is fleeing and what has he done with it even more important.

[Airashii]

OMG! I just read the chapter and I was crying like a baby, I hope they save Fai. I hope Kurogane do something. And I hope Fai's past is revealed in the next chapter!

But, how will they find Syaoran? ^_^

I agree. I mean, if Kurogane wasn't absolutely desperate to help Fai at this point, there is no way in the nine circles of hell that he would ask Yuuko for a favor. He makes such a huge deal throughout the manga about not wanting to be in her debt and the like, if he didn't care for Fai in some deep way, there is no chance that he would have asked her for a favor.

My cousin was trying to ruin my fangirling moment for a bit and said "Well, wouldn't he have done the same if it had been any of this other traveling companions?" Point is, it wasn't any of the others, it was Fai. I don't think he'd just randomly ask for a favor from Yuuko for just anyone.

Although the punching a hole in the wall was a bit silly, it managed to convey the feeling well, I guess I mean, it's not like we haven't seen Kurogane exhibiting superhuman strength before, ie moving that huge bookcase all on his own in Lecourt, opening those HUGE STONE DOORS in Outo, he also opened the huge palace doors that were probably dripping in magic and the like and also smashed a solid stone wall with one punch in Koriyo:

So I mean, the wall punching is a bit on the corny side, but I don't think it's unexpected of Kurogane (and physically possible since he is made of steel or something).

[Emiko]

Even though it was pretty silly, I liked the wall-hitting XD

Impossible or not, it conveyed the overwhelming rage that Kuro is feeling pretty well, so I forgive the cheesiness. Plus, maybe different words have different definitions of 'solid'. Maybe in this world, concrete isn't very stable at all. *realizes she is grasping at strings*

[SuSei_love]

Ya, Kuro may not realize yet that the one he cares the most is Fay, and the one who will be the reason for his figthts is Fay , but, Fay and Kuro show us that they can understand each other without words. Hix ..  the way Fay smiles and say to Kuro " I'm sorry " still make me cry !!! 

  Now, Kuro will do anything for Fay's life, hix, I hope that Yuuko wont ask him something cruel  , if not, I can't stand it anymore 

  Hey, from the request of Sailor Yue-chan, I've mad a banner


  It's not very good, but, I love it

So true! What was it that Yuko said in the xxxHOLIC manga? "Even if you love someone, if you don't know how to deal with them it will turn to violence."

I'm really curious as to what the price will be and who's it will be to pay. If it's Kurogane's price to bear perhaps he will be barred from ever returning home. If it's Fai's price, perhaps it will be the seal he put on Ashura.

Know what? I would so darn hate it if Fye had to pay the price - I mean, it would totally destroy everything that's been carefully built up between Kurogane and Fye if Kurogane first offers his help so desperately and then lets Fye do it. Right?

And I hope we still have to wait a little for Fye's past. I don't want anyone but Kuro to know about it, but how high are the chances that he and Fye will have a quiet moment alone to talk and make out while Fye is in such a condition and has everyone around him? Besides, there are Subaru und Kamui, Seishiro will probably pop up soon, Kurogane still wants to talk with Yuuko, R!Syaoran will have to answer some questions, I guess.

Btw, I just had to explain "canon" to a girl from a German TRC forum. I told her this:
"'Canon' is a fact. An unalterable, solid fact that appears in a series. That Sakura's the princess of Clow Country is canon. That Fye is not only Mr Smiles-and-Sunshine is canon. That Kurogane wears pink boxershorts is not canon." *snicker*

I agree, it would destroy the buildup of last chapter if it had to be Fai who paid the price. I mean, he himself said to let him die and Kurogane was the one who asked if there was a way to save him, so Fai basically didn't ask for anything. But you never know, Sakura didn't ask Yuuko for anything and she had to pay a price (even though her price and Syaoran's prices were basically the same).

Haha, and now that you wrote down all the stuff that still needs to be reached in the manga, I realize how one track my mind is because I had completely forgotten about any of that stuff and have only been thinking "Kurogane. Fai. Price. Fai's past. makeout" I've been like "Yay, Subaru" but then forgot that we still need to resolve issues with him/Kamui/Seishirou, and then there's realSyaoran... hahaha. Damn.

Yeah, I also just realised how much still has to happen while I typed it. And I agree: damn.
