I bring that up because of the way Fei Wang speaks of Junior--he says that "Clow's blood runs through his veins." If Junior was only indirectly related to Clow, then that phrase would seem strange, wouldn't it? Also, keep in mind that a direct descendant wouldn't have to have a surname of Reed/Read or Li if he descended from a daughter of Clow who married into a different family.
Also, I know I was twisting the magic bit, but I mentioned it because of how the events of the story are being juxtaposed with each other: shortly after finding out that Junior's father received Clow's magic, we find out that Clow gave up the rest of his powers to save Syaoran. Doesn't that seem more than a coincidence to you?
Keeping that in mind, why would Ms. Ohkawa place this scene with the clones in the middle of the final battle? If she only wanted us to know that the clones were moving on to a happy life with one another, then why wouldn't she save these chapters for the end of the series?
Granted, Ms. Ohkawa could be setting us up to believe that the parents are the clones, in order to reveal that the parents are in fact Xiaolang and Sakura from CCS--but that would be twisting the plot for the sake of twisting the plot. All things aside, having the clones become the parents would be far more suited to the story than having CCS|Xiaolang and Sakura become the parents. You see, the former is far, far more emotionally relevant than the latter, which in truth only appeals to fans of CCS.
Regardless, I'm glad you mentioned how upset you are about the pain Junior's parents went through. Every time I read about how much someone believes them to be CCS|Xiaolang and Sakura, I can't help but think that they want them to have horrible futures.
