CLAMP, I hate you. Or rather, I hate your habit of never allowing any of the couples you create and draw so beautifully, ever to have a happy ending. Look at the tally- Ashura-Ou is fated to kill Yasha-Ou in RG Veda, Hideki and Chii get to be together only under an extreme qualification in Chobits, Kotori dies a gruesome death in X as a result of Kamui's choice (and if he'd made an alternative choice, he'd have had to kill her himself) while Karen pines for a married Aoki, and let's not even start on Sorata and Arashi, Yuzuriha and Kusanagi, and the ultimate tragic couple- Subaru and Seishirou across two separate series (Tokyo Babylon and X- they haven't met in Tsubasa) and in Tsubasa itself, Clone Syaoran stabs the love of his life to death- all this while we don't even know everything the real pair have been through). In all of this, there was a grand total of one pair of leads in a series that got what looked like a happy ending- Syaoran and Sakura in Cardcaptor Sakura. And now I discover that they got killed in a car accident as Watanuki's parents! My only consolation is that they're probably an alternate-dimensional version of the CCS pair we know and love and CCS!SyaoSaku are safe somewhere in Yuuko's dimension and haven't grown up yet (going by her comment in xxxHolic Vol. 1 about wanting to meet the girl and her boyfriend- not husband, boyfriend)
CLAMP, I really hate you.
