You know, I can't see in the original where it explicitly says that Jr. made the promise with Sakura, just that he promised that he would take Sakura's hand and run. If anything I got the impression that he promised his father...
If Watanuki is alive and his future is being decided simultaneously when Jr. and the princess are 7, that means that Shaoran's time rewind can't have had just local effects. That or Shaoran actually is nine years older than Watanuki (which means W wouldn't be alive at the time of the memories in 192...right?).
If anything I got the impression that he promised his father... It does say he woke up, doesn't it? And a pinky promise between Shaoran and Shaoran-papa over something like this sounds kinda weird.
Wait, are we assuming time in the Holic world flows at the same speed it does in Clow-koku? (Considering they speak Japanese in Clow-koku, it wouldn't surprise me, but still.) What I think is that Shaoran's rewind affected the people who have a relationship to Shaoran, so Watanuki would naturally be included in the package.
i really think the flow of time is different!! in clow koku the time pass more slowly than Yuuko's Nihon... ans the rewind obvioussly make things worse!
I was just looking at it again, and I think that the person that "okita shin" made the promise with is "tousan de aru Shaoran to tomo ni." Which would solve the question of why there's no period at the end of that sentence. And I agree it's interesting that Jr. made a promise with his dad about this, but for me the "can't pinky promise with someone you can't touch" argument that other people raised here makes a lot of sense as well.
It's hard to know whether time flows the same. Based on Yuuko and Mokona's comments after retrieving the feather from Kohane, it seems that time should be flowing at the same speed normatively, but after the Sakura feather eruption things have gone awry up and down the timeline. But I would totally buy that those who have a relationship with Jr. got their time rewound as well, since Clamp loves relationships.
Us seeing or not CCS|SakuxSyao will heavily depends on them having an active role to play in the manga (either TRC, holic, or both) or not.
But from how I see it, Clamp have been referring to them a lot lately and SxS are indeed ones of the principal characters who started up the whole thing, by sending their son off to Clow, for better or for worst...
So while I'm certainly not expecting them to pop up suddenly and having Sakura cards attacking FWR, I wouldn't be surprised either if we have a sight of them at some point, if only in a flashback ^^
Thanks for the info. I really wanted to see Syao-papa, but I guess we shall have to wait for that. And it's true, how do you make a pinky promise with someone you can't touch? If it was with his father it can be, but otherwise it's really weird.
