Conspiracy Theory! wOOt!
Okay, I have a theory! A theory that requires some knowledge of Clamp Campus Detectives and/or X.
Now, we know nothing about Kakei's family or past. We don't even have a last name for him (or for Saiga). And so... what if Kakei is an Imonoyama? True, Kakei apparently doesn't carry one of the fans that the Imonoyama family seems to traditionally carry, but that doesn't necessarily mean that he isn't a member of the family, and it's perfectly possible that he does have a fan but doesn't publicly display it (perhaps to hide that he's an Imonoyama). And Kakei is certainly weird/creepy/eccentric enough to be an Imonoyama.
Also, consider this: to be a pharmacist, Kakei would have had to graduated from university, and then gone on to get his master's and possibly even his doctorate. College is hugely expensive, and graduate school even more expensive. And now Kakei owns a pharmacy in the middle of Tokyo. The start-up costs for a business are always expensive, and I'd imagine they would be especially expensive for a pharmacy, since Kakei would have to follow government regulations concerning all the drugs that he's dealing with. And land (assuming he owns the land that the pharmacy exists on) is unbelievably expensive in all of Japan, and especially Tokyo. Kakei is in his mid-thirties at the oldest. How on earth does such a relatively young man have all that money? Just by taking the 'extra jobs'? I highly doubt it, especially since I think that Kakei often likely gets paid in other ways besides real money for those 'jobs'.
However, if he were part of the richest family in Japan, it would be perfectly easy for him to get the money.
My case is entirely circumstantial; I have absolutely no direct evidence in either direct, and the situation could be explained in many other ways. Still, I like my theory, since it would create another connection between several Clamp series, and Clamp loves to interconnect their series.
Thoughts? Alternate theories?
