Chapter 125

Oh lord, that is so true. XD

Wait - it's not normal to take it as romantic? O___O?

I don't think telling someone the only way they'll die is if you kill them yourself is traditionally considered romantic, no.

But who cares about tradition~

I like the way you think 

I don't think telling someone the only way they'll die is if you kill them yourself is traditionally considered romantic, no.

Its traditional in Clampverse.

[Kjesta]

Oh, I can already picture the scene:
Fan-chan, a normal clamp fan, sits on her couch with her crush and cuddles.
Fan-chan: You know... Someday I'll kill you myself before anyone else does... *cuddles closer*
BF: WTF?! O_O!

[Rekall]

C-A-N-O-N!

Totally loved the "If you want to die so badly I'll kill you myself" part.  Like others have said that's a definite sign of love from CLAMP. XD

The Subaru/Kamui stuff really didn't bother me as much in this chapter as the previous one.  I decided to give faith to CLAMP that they won't screw over the Sei/Su fans by making Su/Kam an item (yeah I know they're brothers but when has that ever stopped CLAMP before?).  Subaru and Kamui had some subtext in X but in the end Sei-chan was the one Subaru loved (I mean the guy did join the enemy for Seishirou, that's love right there).

The Fye-vampire thing didn't surprise me since it was one of the theories I worked out (I figured it would be Subaru though who gave his blood). I wonder if his eye will grow back now.  I know Kamui was able to reattach his arms but his arms were right there and Fye's eye is still in Syaoran.

Yeap, I too am too much of a Clamp fangirl (because

I think that Seishirou arranging his death at Subaru's hand is the most romantic thing in the universe and the second most romantic thing is Subaru being selfish enough to become the Sakurazukamori JUST to keep a tiny bit of Seishirou alive.  Because killing lots of people just to keep a small part of your lover with you is romantic too.

).

This should be on the 'Things in life I learned from Clamp' list that was on LJ recently!  Telling someone you will kill them is concidered romantic.

I've always seen Kamui have rather a one-side crush on Subaru, because I don't see Subaru ever loving anyone except Seishirou.  Speaking of which, in the flash back to when Subaru and Kamui came to Tokyo in this chapitre,

as Subaru is being sucked into the feather's power below the water, Subaru says, 'This is what that person said...' I think we can assume Subaru is talking about Seishirou. What do you guys think Seishirou might have said to Subaru? Also, after Yuuko tells Subaru to give his blood to Fai, Kamui interjects and refuses to let Subaru do it, saying, 'It seems that hunter (obviously Seishirou) has become a hindrance.' What exactly is that supposed to mean, do you guys think?

[Dayanira]

Sorry if it has nothing to do with the current discussion, but about the translation... I saw a comment on kurofai community concerning what kuro said to fai and it was

"If you want to die that badly, kill me. So until then, live." Only now i understood that it DOES make sense. Which means if fai wants to die he must kill his source of food so that only after that he could die by himself, right?

So, the question is... which one is more correct?

[Kjesta]

Hm, I've been thinking about that too. But I think I like the version in which Kuro kills Fai better because that's equal to a love confession in CLAMPverse

I noticed those parts too.  And honestly I have no clue what it means.  But the impression I get (from various scenes in these past two chapters) is that Subaru really doesn't hate Seishirou the way Kamui does.

And I agree that the Subaru/Kamui stuff is one-sided.  Subaru always only has eyes for Seishriou.

[Snow-chan]

Either way the line makes me squee.

The second line - "So until then, live." - would make more sense if it was Fai killing Kuro - until you feel up to killing me, live (and shut up !); the other way around would be stranger - the reaction came because of Fai's "Stop!", if you then offer as a way out a time (the then) when you will decide when to kill the one protesting, it is not actually a solution of the protest, not giving any choice in the matter.

But I am torn between the two versions. In the situation it is uttered it would make more sense to speak not of the (in that moment) future

= Kuro becoming the prey and therefore making the killing him part valid to be Fai's death

but the present.
Oh, my head is in a knot!

wait. so I understand that if kuro dies, fai dies as well. but what happens if fai dies? will kuro die too? *I'm stupid, sorry*

Wow! I just finished reading the chapter!!

So Fai did get vampire blood! I was right! go me!

CANON!! squee!!

[chibi_seishiraon77]

umm...i was thinking. Remember how Princess Tomoyo sent kurogane to Yuuko so he could find true strength, what if saving fai was part of it, not that she planned it. but you know how kurogane said he fights to protect those he loves and those who can't protect themselves,  maybe bonding his life with fai's is showing him he can protect those he cares about without having to fight..could that be a strength knowing when to fight and knowing when to give up something you value for some one who doesn't...?

No, you make complete sense.  ^_^  Don't worry.

I think it's pretty obvious from the start that Kurogane will have to learn how to care about other people besides being "loyal" to Tomoyo and killing every "enemy" in sight.   He first started calling Syaoran a "brat", or "bozu (=squirt)", but it changed to "kid" sooner or later (a.k.a. a more respectable title than "bozu").  ^_0   Hehe....  And Fai will have to learn not to "run away" during situations that he find the most painful (which should be what his past is all about).    Well, actually, now that this happened, his "running away" days are just about over.

That's what character development is all about.   ^_0

I'm just shocked that this chapitre came out sooner than expected.  I think more people are starting to have that "I can't wait until Wednesday" effect so I might as well perform illegal moves to get at it no matter what.    So, Fai became a

vampire, thus, putting a block on his own wish to die since he became immortal.  Ohohho...   Now, Fai really CAN'T die!   Definitely love the first splash page.  It's so cute and innocent.  The second two page splash pages are beautiful with Fai's eye sitting there in C!Syaoran's eye, at the same time, very eerie.   A very big contrast between the two parts of the clone!  Yep yep!   Makes me sad...    Looking foward to the next chapitre!  Haha...

¡CANON CANON! Lovely canon! Wonderful canon! *sings the canon hymn until her lungs implode*...

...Damn it, I'm late XD. 8 pages already. Anyway, this chapter is way too sexy to comment on it, I can only drool.

Aww, thank you!  ^^  I've got the scans all cleaned up and prepped for scanslating.  All I need now is for Pikari to translate  :3

hmm. where on earth IS that girl! XD

i found someone who doesnt think its canon ENOUGH.

I'll grant that this chapter comes very very close (not entirely) to pushing Kuro/Fai to the same canon level as Seishirou/Subaru or Touya/Yukito, not so much due to their actions, but the consequences of it.

their a nuetral party about the paring, so it OK.

id SO loe  to push this chapter down the throat of this LE dud who was so URG against kurofai <_<

i checked FF.net for any new fics, and i found 2 deathfics i want a fluffy fic ^^;;
