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?

The last chapter of XXX Holic came out recently. I am sorry I haven't been keeping up with this world much, for me it hasn't been the same without Tsubasa. Any ideas for this world now that Holic is over? Let me know, I would love to add guest posters.
1. THE EGG
Finally we understand!
From what I read, the egg will erase all of Watanuki's memories of Yuko....
My theory, if you remember, was that it would give birth to a new world where all the clones could coexist, etc, and watanuki would join them. Tsubasachro, you're wish is granted. Even if they never used the egg, at least we know what it is for at the end.
2. NOT DOUMEKI
Has it only been this chapter? How long has it been? His companion in this chapter, in none other than Doumeki's Decendent!!!! The egg has been passed down through generations, because there still hasn't been that perfect moment to erase Watanuki's memories.
3. TIME
You heard right, decendent! At least 100 years have passed and now Watanuki's sentence is over. He is powerful enough to leave his prison (the shop). Does this mean that Syaoran is able to stay stationary? Or is he already dead? After all, Syaoran was not in the shop, so his life was not permanent, and he has not been developing as a mage.
4. THE BIRD AND THE BUTTERFLY
Yuko is the butterfly, Watanuki is the bird. Somehow, my perception of the dream was that Yuko was smiling, so she was at peace. Ergo, the bird escaping from the cage was metaphorical for him being about to move on, as she had.
On the flip side, the cage could be the shop. And in the butterfly joining Yuko, perhaps he will now search for her in the world....?
Go stretch those legs wata-kun!
5. MEMORY HURTS?
So the egg hasn't been used because it would be "painful" for watanuki to forget. If he forgets, he wouldnt know he was supposed to be sad, because he wouldn't remember Yuko in the first place! But hey, hasn't this guy forgot enough? First his real parents, and now his adopted mom. A touching ending, to see that Yuko wanted him to be happy, thus the egg to erase the bad memory. But Doumeki,and his whole family have kept the egg a secret. They also want watanuki to be happy WITH the memory. That is the deepest show of friendship and shows the extent of love that Doumeki felt for him as a friend. *tears!

Okay Tsubasachro, remember when you said that for holic taking so long to update it had better have some colored pages and at least be 50 pages long????
WELL YOUR WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED! (BUT THERE IS NO MENTION OF THE EGG, SORRYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
