Yah I guess I didn't really explain what I was thinking very well there... basically what I was getting at is that whatever reason (Westermarck or whatever) that kept them from developing a romantic relationship before has most likely been negated/weakened by Karada changing age. The person he associated with as a sister is now gone, replaced by someone closer to his own age, etc.. They could develop romantic feelings now for pretty much the same reason shown in Koi Kaze.

Well, I don't think it would be bad if it did but I would rather see something different. Koi Kaze told a good story, we don't need to see it retold here (and probably not as well.) I don't have much hope though... I think the lure of a plain old angsty triangle drama with some supernatural incest thrown in is just too much for the writers.
