Final Chapter
Yami has been defeated. Sakura and Rob have proven once and for all that they are the most powerful beings in the universe.
After their battle, they decided to lie low for a while. They simply stayed home, enjoying each other's company. The couple was also seriously drained of energy. They had to maintain their godly forms for a week just to stay conscious. When they finally calmed down, they slept for a long, long time. Finally, after recovering to almost their full power, it was time for their wedding.
Celestial Temple
Rob was in a great building. It was roughly circular, being over 500 feet across, and had a high doomed roof. Robed beings walked across the pale marble floor. Most were in simple white robes and didn't appear special, unlike Rob. He was in his angelic form; with his large bat wings, golden braid, and red eyes. He walked down the center aisle of the room. Everyone that he came across almost dived out of the way to avoid him. They all knew a god when they saw one. Rob walked across the vast room and entered a small chamber off to the side,
Office of the Angel of Love (Angel's can have offices!)
"Ohayo gozaimasu, Lea!" Rob called to the angel.
"Ohayo Rob-sama!" the angel cried as she leapt from behind her desk to glomp Rob.
"ACK!" Rob yelled as he fell to the floor. The angel was on top of him hugging him tightly.
"Uh, Lea, I know that you're a very loving angel, but I'm an engaged man here," Rob said, chuckling.
Lea giggled and got off of him. She was a very lovely being. Being an angel of love, she wore no clothing. Her beautiful blonde hair somehow managed to cover all that needed covering. She had two pairs of pale golden wings, which was highly abnormal. Some thought that she got them for carrying out her duties so faithfully, others thought that perhaps she had a pair when she was mortal. She was the oldest one there at over 22,000, so no one really knew. I know that I have a lot of green eyes around here, but Lea's eyes were green, too. She sat down at her desk as Rob took a seat in front of her. She gazed at him with his beautiful green eyes and smiled.
"So? Wedding tomorrow, eh?" she asked.
"Looks like it. I just came in here to make sure that everything is in order."
"It is. The Temple will be cleared later today in preparation for tomorrow morning's service."
"Good. Is there anything I need to be made aware of before the ceremony? Any last minute details?"
"Yes, actually. Seeing as how I'm an angel, I feel an odd need to do things like a catholic, so who's the best man and maid of honor?"
"My best man shall be Li Syaoran. I assume that Daidouji Tomoyo will be Sakura's maid of honor."
"Okie dokie. Anything else?"
"I just have to head over to Yama's to see if I can resurrect a few people to attend the wedding."
"Oh, who did you have in mind?"
"I plan to have Ahnsah attend."
"Oh..."
"Oh? Why did that 'oh' sound so ominous?"
"Lost loves tend to object to these marriages."
"Don't worry, we're good."
"Ok, if you say so."
"I do."
"Any other seats need to be reserved?"
"Let's see, ten should be sufficient."
"Only ten?"
"That's it, and I have to go now."
"Uh, ok. Take care!"
Lea got up and gave Rob a strong hug before he left. Rob waved and left.
King Yama's Temple (Yes, there is actually a King Yama. He takes the place of the Christian Saint Peter.)
"Who dares enter my palace?" a deep voice called from the shadows of the room.
Rob sighed and answered, "Yama! It's the God of Death!"
"Oh!" a large man said while flicking on the lights.
"You should stop that, you're scaring the souls," Rob said.
"Yeah yeah yeah..." said the tall man at the desk. Yama was a big man, over eight feet tall and 500 pounds. As they talked, he saw souls and either passed them to "heaven" or sent them below.
"I have a big favor to ask of you," Rob began.
"Oh? And what would that be?"
"I need you to allow someone to attend my wedding."
"I don't let souls go back to Earth just to attend a wedding."
"It's a Celestial Wedding and the soul wouldn't leave this plane."
"You're getting a Celestial Wedding!?"
"You didn't get the memo?"
"We get memos!?"
"Uh... Ok, anyway! I need my old girl Ahnsah to be brought back to attend the wedding."
"You got a last name for her?"
"She was the former goddess of life."
"Oh, her, sure. I gotcha covered!"
"Thanks Yama!"
"Anytime..."
Rob waved as Yama continued to concentrate on the forms required to bring her back for a day. One one-day pass coming right up!
Celestial Temple
"Ok, tomorrow morning is the big day. I should go talk to Eriol and that new Sakura card..." Rob trailed off. Her drew his scythe and traced a circle in the air. A dark green portal formed and he stepped through it.
A light pink portal formed and a beautiful girl stepped from it. She was beautiful. She wore a barely-there white robe and had golden pink hair and pink eyes. She walked across the building quickly and entered an office.
Office of the Angel of Love
"Huh? What are you doing here?" Lea asked the goddess that had just walked into her office.
"For my wedding tomorrow, I need to reserve more seats and I need to change who my Maid of Honor will be..."
Eriol's Mansion
"So you say that she just created a card and it isn't a Sakura Card?" Eriol asked Rob.
"That's what I said. Judging by the symbols and color scheme, it seems to belong to both of us."
"That's quite interesting."
"So..."
"So what?"
"Can you tell me anything about it?"
"Nope."
"Some half of a great magician you once were in your past incarnation," Rob mumbled.
"I'm sorry," Eriol chuckled out.
"It's alright."
"Oh, what should I wear to the wedding?"
"Oh, right. You're a magician, wear your traditional robes."
"Sure. I'll have Tomoyo whip up a similar dress for herself."
"Alright. Sounds good."
"I should head over and brief Syaoran and Meiling on attire."
"Ok then. I'm sorry that I could not have helped more."
"Take care!"
"You too!"
Rob shook Eriol's hand before departing.
Li Household (they've been here a while so they got a house)
"Hey Syaoran! Is your cousin here, too?" Rob asked.
"Yeah, I'll go get her."
"Thanks," Rob said as he took a seat on the couch.
"Ok, what's up?" Meiling asked, sitting next to Rob. Even though he was getting married, she still had a huge crush on him.
"It's about the wedding tomorrow morning," Rob told them.
"Go on," Li urged.
"What do you guys plan to wear?" Rob asked.
"We really haven't given it much thought. We normally rely on Tomoyo for that," Li answered.
Rob sighed.
"What should we wear?" Meiling asked.
"You both come from magical families, surely you each have a set of ceremonial robes," Rob said.
"I'll have our's flown in this afternoon," Li said, getting up from his seat.
"Thanks. I need to go tell my bride that I love her a few more times, so I'd better go," Rob joked.
"Alright, we'll see you to the door," Meiling said, also getting up.
"Oh, and Li."
"Yeah Rob?"
"Thanks for being my best man. I really appreciate it."
"Anytime, my friend."
Rob and Li smiled warmly at each other, then Rob smiled at Meiling before saying goodbye and leaving.
Celestial Wedding
The Hall was beautifully decorated. It was actually the entire Celestial Temple. The Cherubim had done a great job. Streamers of sunshine and moonlight hung from the ceiling. Flowers of starlight and bouquets of fire and ice were adorning the space. Many, many seats were arranged. The seats, of course, were made of wind. You'd be surprised by how comfy they were. A choir of angels quietly sang their songs and it was a beautiful sound. Several rows of seats of seats in front were empty. The first full row held the seven members of the Council of Nine, since two of them were getting married. The rest of that row was empty, as was the custom. Other miscellaneous angels and gods and even demon filled the rest of the seats. A few orbs of light, souls, floated along the walls. The front row had Eriol and Tomoyo on the right side, with Tomoyo by the aisle. Tomoyo brought a camera in order to capture everything on film.
Eriol wore a long, dark blue robe and held his staff at his side. Once the ceremony began, he would seal it (If you release it to have it, I assume you seal it to get rid of it) as not to distract anyone. Tomoyo wore a flowing, dark blue silk kimono. Her hair was also done up rather elegantly.
On the other side was Touya. Fujitaka would take a seat next to him once he led Sakura to the altar. Touya wore a traditional black tuxedo and Fujitaka would be wearing the same thing. Touya was also hiding a sign that said "Yatta Kaijuu!" on it.
Behind them, Meiling and Setsuna sat. Both were on either side of the aisle. Setsuna wore a garnet and dark green dress as well as her tiara. She was princessed out. She wore long gloves to accompany the dress and her hair was done up in a simple, yet stately fashion. She'd had her diamond necklace and tiara polished the night before just for this occasion.
Mailing wore a red, Chinese style dress with golden trim. It was dark red with the Li family crests on it in gold. She had her hair in the usual dual pigtails. She had a giddy grin on her face and was awed by the look of the room.
Next down the line were the four guardians. Two seats on the right were designed so that Cerberus and Spinel could be there in their true forms. Yue and Ruby Moon were in their true forms as well. They decided, at Sakura and Eriol's urgings, to go as a couple. They wore basically the same garment. Ruby wore a blue and red dress and Yue wore a blue and red robe. (The colors may sound odd together but trust me, it looked great.)
Rob came in and noticed about 54 open seats and felt a little worried, but brushed it off.
The hall quieted at the angel standing at the altar's signal. The only sound was Tomoyo's camera recording, which no one really heard. The Angel to preside over the ceremony, Lea, then began to speak.
"Today is a great day. On this day, a god and a goddess shall be joined in a celestial union. They have proven their love to be very powerful and this union is simply an extension of that. Now, would the groom please take his position?"
Rob appeared at the end of the aisle and began to walk toward the altar. He was in his full, godly form now. His flowing golden robes flapped slightly as he moved. His platinum braid lightly touched the floor. His silver eyes looked warmly at all who had come. Just as he felt sad about Ahnsah not making it, someone appeared next to Touya. She was wearing a simple white robe and her golden halo glowed brightly. They smiled at each other then Rob noticed that it wasn't Ahnsah. It was Nadeshiko, Sakura's mother. The funny think was that he was so nervous that his silvered wings were shaking slightly. A few of the Nine chuckled silently, but Rob didn't hear them, luckily. He finally made it to the altar and stood there, waiting for his bride.
"Now, the bride may enter and take her position next to her groom," Lea called warmly.
Fujitaka and Sakura appeared at the entrance to the room. The choir began to sing an ancient hymn befitting the goddess. Just before starting, though, Ahnsah slipped Sakura her bouquet. It contained cherry blossoms, nadeshiko flowers (I forget what the English is), and other beautiful flowers that only grew on this plane of existence. It was a lovely bouquet indeed. Slowly, Fujitaka led his daughter down the aisle. She almost began to cry when she saw her mother in the front row, but composed herself. She would be doing plenty of crying later.
Once they reach the altar, Fujitaka turned to his daughter. He hugged her tightly and kissed her on the cheek. He whispered, "I'm proud of you," into her ear before taking a seat next to his dead wife. They held hands while the rest of the ceremony.
As soon as the couple was on the altar, Ahnsah and Syaoran appeared from nowhere and took their positions next to the couple. Syaoran took a position just behind Rob and Ahnsah was just behind Sakura. Rob was a bit confused about the change in Maid of Honor, but was pleased nonetheless.
Rob and Sakura were beautiful together. Rob wore a long, golden robe that was traditional for him to wear. Sakura was supposed to wear a silver or white robe, but Tomoyo had gotten to her. Instead, she wore a long dress of white silk. It had short sleeves and the top was a corset. The skirt dragged the floor a little, so Ahnsah moved it to more aesthetically pleasing position. Of course, Sakura was also in her highest form. Her pale golden was long enough to drag the ground, but some of it was done up in a bun at the back to keep it from dragging behind her. Her bright, golden eyes were full of happiness and had long since begun to form tears. This was the happiest moment of both of their lives.
(Syaoran is wearing a more formal version of his green robe and Ahnsah wears a simplified version of Sakura's dress.)
"Now, we can begin..." Lea begins, but is cut off by Sakura.
"No, one more thing," Sakura said.
Everyone looked at her oddly and she took the key from her neck and her cards from a fold of her dress.
"All Sakura Cards!" she called after tossing them in the air and releasing her staff, "Take a seat and witness this wonderful moment!"
All of the cards float over to the empty seats on their spirit forms and sit down. Some look quite odd, like a scale (Libra) or a platform with wings (Move) sitting in a seat, but no one seemed to question it. It felt right that the Cards be there. No one knew it, but even Clow Reed was standing against the far wall, watching.
"Now?" Lea asked playfully.
"Now!" Sakura called, tossing her staff to Tomoyo for safekeeping.
Lea giggled before continuing, "I, Lea Mei, am here to join you two beings in the highest form of matrimony. The Celestial wedding isn't granted to all who want to elope. No, it is only granted once I see that two people love each other so much, that they would rather die than stop loving each other."
Lea held out a palm and The Love card appeared in her hand.
"This card is proof of that intensity, as it was created from Sakura's love after Robahsu summoned the Sakura Book."
She paused to look at the happy couple before continuing.
"Ok, now let's get these two married, eh?"
Most of the room chuckled a little.
"Robahsu Festern, last survivor of the D'ni and Saiyan races, do you take this goddess to be your wife? To love her, to hold her, and to protect her for the rest of eternity?"
"Aye, I do," he responded seriously.
"And do you, Kinomoto Sakura, Mistress of the Sakura Cards, take this god to be your husband? To love him, to hold him, and to protect him for the rest of eternity?"
"Might as well," she said, eliciting a loud giggle from everyone in the room.
She smiled and looked at her brother and his sign. She waved her hand at him and the sign disappeared and it felt as if she had stomped on his foot.
Once the laughter died down, Rob took Sakura's hands and they stared in each other's eyes.
"Alrighty then, by the power vested in me by... well, me, I pronounce that you are God and Goddess. Man and Wife," Lea said. She touched both of their shoulders and made a slight modification to their auras. "You may now kiss and seal your union," she finished.
The two looked at each other lovingly for a moment and kissed each other deeply. As they did, they felt each other's aura, their warmth, fill the other. It was a deeply intimate and spiritual experience. They could feel each other's heartbeat. Feel each other's thoughts and emotions. They kissed slowly, luxuriously.
As soon as their lips touched, everyone/thing that could stand stood and applauded. All except for the Silent, she just smiled at them without a sound.
The couple broke the kiss and looked at the applauding crowd. Rob pulled Sakura close and kissed her again, but this time they wrapped their wings around each other, blocking out the noise and pulling each other closer.
The two most powerful beings in the universe were now married, they were one.
Fin Story, "Threat from the Past"
Clow Reed: It was a nice ceremony. You two belong together.
Rob: Thanks Clow-sama, that means a lot to us.
Sakura: I'm so glad that you came!
Clow: It was my pleasure.
Rob: Would you like to end the story for us?
Clow: If you wish me to, how could I refuse.
Sakura: Arigato Clow-sama!
Clow: Well, this is the end. Rob says that he might author a few more little things that they do in the future, but the saga is mostly over. All of us would like to extend our gratitude for reading this story. Perhaps another will follow...
Yami has been defeated. Sakura and Rob have proven once and for all that they are the most powerful beings in the universe.
After their battle, they decided to lie low for a while. They simply stayed home, enjoying each other's company. The couple was also seriously drained of energy.

She smiled and looked at her brother and his sign. She waved her hand at him and the sign disappeared and it felt as if she had stomped on his foot.
Once the laughter died down, Rob took Sakura's hands and they stared in each other's eyes.
"Alrighty then, by the power vested in me by... well, me, I pronounce that you are God and Goddess. Man and Wife," Lea said. She touched both of their shoulders and made a slight modification to their auras. "You may now kiss and seal your union," she finished.
The two looked at each other lovingly for a moment and kissed each other deeply. As they did, they felt each other's aura, their warmth, fill the other. It was a deeply intimate and spiritual experience. They could feel each other's heartbeat. Feel each other's thoughts and emotions. They kissed slowly, luxuriously.
As soon as their lips touched, everyone/thing that could stand stood and applauded. All except for the Silent, she just smiled at them without a sound.
The couple broke the kiss and looked at the applauding crowd. Rob pulled Sakura close and kissed her again, but this time they wrapped their wings around each other, blocking out the noise and pulling each other closer.
The two most powerful beings in the universe were now married, they were one.
Fin Story, "Threat from the Past"
Clow Reed: It was a nice ceremony. You two belong together.
Rob: Thanks Clow-sama, that means a lot to us.
Sakura: I'm so glad that you came!
Clow: It was my pleasure.
Rob: Would you like to end the story for us?
Clow: If you wish me to, how could I refuse.
Sakura: Arigato Clow-sama!
Clow: Well, this is the end. Rob says that he might author a few more little things that they do in the future, but the saga is mostly over. All of us would like to extend our gratitude for reading this story. Perhaps another will follow...
