Thanks for the link! As always, it makes coming home from work more satisfying.
Ooh, Sakura! Ouch and wow are two words that go about her these last few chapters - the bloodier she gets, the more I like her, now we see how tough she really is (and also the spunk of the CCS Sakura).
The most random thought came to me when I saw her bloody knees though - long trousers would have been a smarter option, on retrospect
.
Kurogane and Syao seem to get along nicely (under the circumstances).
As to speculations of the next chapter - well, it seems Sakura is now unable to return on her own, it would be impossible; so Seishirou turning up is getting more likely in my mind. According to Roxx's little tranlation, it looks like at least Kuro nor Syao are resigned to wait for Sakura to return and not go after her themselves.
