Okay, so I was not completely up to speed this time around with Holic(I KNOW! THE HORROR!). Rei seemed like such a long read that I didn't want to get myself into without rereading the original Holic series.
Buuuut--how foolish of me to even start theorizing about Tsubasa World Chronicle without familiarizing myself with it's brother, Rei!
I might've just flipped to the most recent chapters of Rei that were released this month and everything is coming together. In the words of my dear friend Aurora (tsubasachro), "I think everything [about Tsubasa World Chronicle Chapitre 1] will make sense if we just read Rei." I might have laughed out loud and told her that it was foolish to believe the answers would be given to us so simply by CLAMP but as it turns out, the two tie in so perfectly that (surprise!) it had to have been planned....
SO! I want to meet the loyal XXX HOlic Rei fans out there! YOU are a lucky bunch right now....because these last few chapters have illuminated the answers to so many mysteries. Let us, Holic and Tsubasa fans, come together once more to enjoy the interconnectedness of the two plots.
Are you relieved?
Why do you think Syaoran needs those items Watanuki hunted for with so much dedication?

Real Syaoran is shocked to learn his clone is also his father? No he doesn't seem to understand it himself... although, thank goodness Sakura stopped him from "putting an end" to the evil clone, when she did. Otherwise real syaoran never would have been born so his dad never could have been cloned and.... etc.
Also, Fei Wang seemed shocked to know that Yuko was dead in EVERY world, which has reawakened my insistance that Sakura's mother Nadeshiko is a Yuko from her world (She looks a lot like the failed clones of Yuko that Fei wang made) and that the reason Fei wang put the death magic pattern on Sakura in the first place was too get the attention of her mother. Only Syaoran and Sakura's mother could see the marking afterall. And when Syaoran asked her "Do you know who did this to her?" Didn't she reply "no, but I think he knows (another) me."The Yuko he knew! That's my theory any way.
So he's been trying to clone, and search the worlds for a living Yuko. And now what will happen?
as well as Holic 185:

Yuko is such a bad influence on Wata-kun XD Well, This brings up a few theorys fans have presented. Is watanuki actually Clow reed? Or a reincarnation of him? Hmmmmmm....
Enjoy!
Thanks to Ghostduster on Live Journal: There are translations for Holic and click the links for manga pictures! ^_^

Wata: I said for Yuuko-san to grant my first wish... to remove my power to to see spirits. But...
Through this power...
And through this shop, various people -- and those who are not people -- had their wishes granted. To protect this shop ...
I will wait. Forever.
[5]
Wata: Until I can meet Yuuko-san again.
[6]
Doumeki: So you'll go to school and run the shop at the same time?
Watanuki: I won't go.
[SHOCKED EXPRESSION FROM DOUMEKI]
[7]
Watanuki: ... isn't it. I wont go.
I already can't leave this shop.
Doumeki: ... what do you mean.
[8]
Watanuki: That ... is my price. That's why.
[9]
Watanuki: I decided to wait forever, so...
I chose the price of staying within my own "time."
I can't leave this shop.
And I won't age. (I won't take any years.)
Doumeki: ... does that mean you won't die?
[10]
Watanuki: A living thing that cannot die ... that doesn't exist.
No matter what the wish, people die.
[11]
Watanuki: So ... I will also die. Someday, definitely.
But. Until then...
[12]
Watanuki: Until I can meet Yuuko once again,
Forever ... and ever ...
I will continue to wait in this shop.
[13]
[Watanuki STALKS past Doumeki and out to the porch.]

Doumeki: [holding the egg] This is ... his choice...?
[14]
Doumeki: So, this can only be used once ... No. It only needs to be used once.
Surely ... it can't be used for that guy. (??)
[15-16]
[Watanuki walks out onto the porch. Picks up Yuuko's pipe; smokes, coughs. Seems to get used to it, however...]
