It is, again, a matter of how it was depicted. Starting out with a lot of ambiguous airheadedness, then... nothing, because she's not around. And then that's followed by caring for the wounded and "Let's stay like this forever" literally out of left field (even Kira's going "where the hell did that come from?" in his expression) and then... nothing, because she's, once again, not around. And then suddenly the tears and the hold me and the really, really jarring jumps in development and then suddenly in the end they're a couple.
And everyone's left going "What?" (except for the Japanese, who apparently eat this shit up.)
