Rules of CLAMP
... because you know they tell the same story every time.
1. The villain probably isn't. No matter how many horrible, cruel things he does, it always turns out that he's acting for higher neccessity or love (occassionally twisted) or some such. Female villains, however, are more likely to actually be villains and, in fact, incarnations of evil and darkness.
2. If it's small and cute, it's probably an avatar of chaos and destruction.
3. At least two thirds of the love affairs will be tragic, involving the partners eternally parted or only requited in death or some such. The primary love affair has about a three quarters chance of succeeding, but only after buckets of angst.
4. There will be at least one, and more likely two or three, cross-generational love affairs. These have the best chance of succeeding, even outweighting the primary love affairs. If the primary affair is cross-generational, you can be pretty well assured it will prosper.
5. The world will be destroyed, or nearly. The likelyhood of an eleventh-hour save with a TON of mess to clean up and emotional scarring all around is about three quarters.
6. The only way to deal with a shadow-self is to accept it, rather than fight it.
7. Pure-heartedness conquers all. Though it usually gets severely trodden on in the process.
Based on the above, I'm expecting that Fuuma wants to be killed by Kamui and is trying to provoke him into it, but that the overshadowing dark Kamui will be reabsorbed just in time for the sun to rise over a world in ruins, running with the blood of absolutely everyone else, probably including Fuuma himself, but not actually ended because Kamui managed at the last minute to save it. Not that it will do him any good to have done so.
Remind me again why I read these people?

Because after X they got their heads out of their asses? I mean, Clover is pretty good, Legal Drug is cute, and I adore xxxHolic.
X seems to be their never ending angst festival. I never got past vol. 18.

I would actually really appreciate more fluffy mahou-shoujo things like Card Captor Sakura. Sakura...just seemed to be ENGINEERED to be cuter, dimmer, and frillier than any mahou shoujo before her. They just seemed to cover all the shoujo bases, and it all seemed so...detached. But perfect! I really liked that from them.
