Nope you haven't. I suppose because of the enormous cast of X CLAMP are forced to neglect some of their "less important characters" in favour of casting more limelight on the oh so novel sufferings of Kamui.

There should be a X drinking game: Each time Kamui is hurt with 10 or more feathers fluttering in the background .....

He is interesting. At least he has potential to become a deep, torn character who for once does not drown himself in his own misery. Thus I suspect he does not fit too well into the melodramatic direction the series is taking. His scenes with Yuzuriha were full of hope for a better future; despite the destruction around them and their own fates weighing down on them they managed to build up a friendship and Yuzuriha at least recieved a broadening of her horizon.

Alas Kusa-kun is far from pretty and suffers with a little more dignity than Subaru and Kamui, so CLAMP's Kusanagi related fan-service is to leave him out to leave more room for yet another page of Kamui and big bad Fuuma. (No, I don't want to hear another rant why the big 4 are so great and deep. I heard it time and time again and am not conviced, so spare me the tedious repetition.)

As for Keiichi, he's just the classmate and not directly involved in the battle. Too bad though.....
