Epilogue: Love
Sunshine peaked through the castle balcony. The white translucent curtains fluttered in the morning wind. Frost, an ice phoenix slowly opened its eyes. Still drowsy, he decided to go back to sleep beside his still slumbering mate, Flames.
Out of nowhere ... "BANG!" The phoenix's head shot up startled.
A young girl of three burst into the room. Her chocolate brown locks flowing behind her. She immediately carried out her morning duties: Waking up her parents.
She jumped on the bed and shouted, "Mother! Father! WAKE UPPPPPPP!"
The two bodies underneath the warm covers shot up at the loud wake-up call.
"Nadeshiko... How many times do I have to tell you to stop doing that... Sheesh... Frost wake-up call was much preferred..."
The ice phoenix gave a squawk before proceeding back to sleep. The girl called "Nadeshiko" smiled at her accomplishment and decided to leave the room for another one of her favourite hobbies, waking up her twin brother.
A giggle erupted from the bed, "Syaoran. She's three. Girls are that energetic when they're at that age."
Syaoran yawned and stretched and then replied to his wife's comment, "Sakura, she's a princess. That's not how a princess should act..."
Sakura narrowed her eyes and countered back, "Syaoran... we've talked about this..."
Syaoran immediately recognized the warning signals and laughed nervously before pecking his Queen on the lips, "Right... right...I understand."
Sakura smiled and cooed at him, "Now that's a good boy..."
Syaoran's eye twitched at the comment before smirking, "Do you mean good boy or big boy?"
Sakura immediately shoved Syaoran off the bed who landed in a loud thud.
"Go and wash up Li Syaoran. If not, I'll make Flames burned you into a crisp and we'll see who's being cocky."
"Fine... Fine!"
As he walked to the bathroom, he heard Sakura mumble as she fell back onto the bed.
"Kings and their dumb overconfidence..."
Syaoran bit back a laugh and continued to brush his teeth.
It has been four years since they have been reunited back at Sakura's old unicorn farm. Shortly after that, they were married and Sakura became the Queen as on the same day as Syaoran took over the throne from his mother.
(A/N: I can't find info on unicorn's growth period. So I followed horses. And female unicorns take 3 years to carry their foals. )
All of the unicorns are now residing inside the castle grounds. Dust had finally grown into a stallion and is next in line to take over the herd.
Sakura had also bought two unicorns who were mates a couple of years ago. It took some time before they finally began to trust the royal family. Imagine Sakura's surprise when she found out that the female Unicorn, Rubi, was pregnant and was already two and a half years along. Another six moths passed and a female baby unicorn was born. She named this new foal, Jewel.
Jewel's mane was light red, almost pink and her coat was white. She also has a rainbow coloured horn which was incredibly rare.
Now, she was already known as a teenage unicorn and Dust was undeniably attracted to this particular unicorn. It was no doubt that she would be Dust's future mate.
Sakura also gave birth to a set of fraternal twins that were conceived on her honeymoon with Syaoran. Nadeshiko, the one who followed Syaoran's punctuality habits also received Sakura's carefree personality. Ryu, the next heir, on the other hand, received Sakura's lateness habits and Syaoran's once serious attitude.
Nadeshiko had chocolate locks and emerald eyes. Her hair was thick and long which she often tied half up with white hair accessories. She can charm anyone in the palace but if any one were to frighten her, her overprotective brother would step up to defend his sister and give the "meanie" a famous Li glare.
Speaking of the twin, Ryu had gotten Sakura's auburn hair and Syaoran's amber eyes. His messy hair was a replica of his father's. He was seemingly cold but quite polite thanks to his mother. Although he seemed mean at first glance, he actually had a soft heart underneath the icy covers who he only allowed his family to witness once in a while.
Syaoran's train of thought was interrupted when a loud "AHHHHHHH!" was heard not to far from his room. He chuckled and immediately knew that Nadeshiko had woken up her brother once again, unexpectedly yet expected.
Syaoran finished his wash-up and exited the room in his morning robes. He noticed that Sakura was in the midst of waking up as she rubbed her eyes cutely. His heart swelled in adoration and then used his two hands to lift his wife from the bed who gave a loud shriek, "Syaoran!'
He laughed and then put her down on the cold bathroom marble tiles. She pouted and slammed the door behind her as she knew that if she weren't to, Syaoran would most definitely follow her in and they will both miss their breakfast.
Syaoran decided to visit his daughter's bedroom before heading down for breakfast. He stepped into the room and noticed Nadeshiko's nanny dressing her up.
She turned around as she saw Syaoran's reflection in the mirror, "Father!"
Syaoran chuckled as his daughter bounced towards him.
"We're going to Auntie Rei's party tonight right?"
Syaoran then began to remember that that day was Rei's engagement party. She had met a prince whose mother had been a close friend of the Kinoshi family. He was there at Rei's wedding with Syaoran and was impressed by Rei's insight on life. After a few meetings, Rei and the prince, Takishi fell in love. They became a couple and a few years after, he asked Rei for her hand in marriage.
"Yes my little flower, we're going to her castle today."
"YAY!"
Suddenly, he heard footsteps outside the room.
Ryu's head peered inside and stated, "Father, Mother's waiting."
Syaoran nodded and walked over and ruffled his son's already messy hair.
"Father!"
Syaoran shrugged, "What? It's already messy anyway."
Nadeshiko giggled as she ran over to her brother and father. She clasped onto Ryu's hand who struggled to get out of his sister's grip.
"Let's go!"

After breakfast, the royal family of four went to the stables. Chocolate gave each of them his welcome lick. Even when Sakura's the Queen, she would still use most of her time taking care of her unicorns.
After brushing them in her sundress, she returned to the room to get ready for the journey to Takishi's kingdom.
Sakura stepped out of the washroom, dressed in her pink gown, designed by Tomoyo. It was long-sleeved with a slit up her wrist, making it fan out. The pink became darker as it reached the bottom where a piece a translucent material was sewn on. Cherry blossoms were sewn onto the collar and rims of the dress.
As she twisted her hair up onto her head, Syaoran snaked his arms around Sakura's waist.
His suit was dark green accompanied with white pants with gold lining. His buttons were sliver and his crown was on his head. He began kissing on her exposed neck.
"Syaoran! I need to put on my choker!"
"Come on Sakura. It's been so long since we've really made out."
"What are you talking about? We done this almost every singl-"
Sakura let out a small gasp as Syaoran hit a sensitive spot. As he continued to kiss her neck, passion soared and moans of pleasure bounced of the walls. Syaoran smirked against Sakura's neck and turned her around and immediately planted his lips onto Sakura's. Tongues clashed and battled and Syaoran's hand began to wonder. Sakura's own hands began to wrap around her husband's neck...
"Ewwwww..."
The Queen and King broke apart and laughed at the sight of their children's disgusted faces.
"Mother! Do you and Father really have to do that every single day?"
Syaoran shook his head at his daughter. "Come on you little rascals, we will leave mother alone to finish her make-up."
"Can't we bring Frost and Flames?"
The two phoenixes were perched on their small cushion. Syaoran wandered his eyes over and shook his head. "
Sorry you two...but they have to look after their eggs."
True enough, in a nest made out twigs and leaves, two eggs were nestled within it. One was frosty blue while the other is fiery red. Flames finally laid some eggs after that year of their mating season and it was no doubt that both a new fire and ice phoenix will be born.
"It's time to go." Sakura had placed on her choker and some star earrings and necklace. Her small golden crown was placed on her head. She walked over to her children and bent down to straighten up their suits.
Nadeshiko had on a sliver and white dress with her own small pearl necklace. She had white jade bangles on both her wrist which accompanied well with her comfortable white shoes. A small sliver crown with a sapphire in the center was on her head
Ryu, on the other hand, wore a black suit with white pants and almost visible sliver linings. His shoes were also white and his own sliver crown with a ruby in the center.
The royal family of four left the room and exited the castle. They sat on the carriage and began their journey to Takishi's kingdom.

At Takishi's Kingdom
"King Li Syaoran, Queen Li Sakura, Prince Li Ryu and Princess Li Nadeshiko have arrived."
The Li family stepped into the ballroom. Many Kings and Queens were already present, including the Hiiragizawa family.
"Sakura!"
"Tomoyo!"
The two cousins hugged each other in joy. It has been weeks since they have last met.
"My my Tomoyo! You're certainly growing bigger!"
Tomoyo was now six months pregnant. Eriol chuckled beside her while carrying his one year old daughter, Mira. She has inherited Tomoyo's dark hair and Eriol's sapphire orbs.
"Let's go and sit down..."
They sat on a vacant table which was reserved for them. After drinking a couple of glasses of juice, Rei's name was announced and she stepped down from the stairs together with her fiancé, Takishi.
"Sakura! Tomoyo!"
"Rei!" The pair of cousin said in unison. The three of them hugged each other and sat down again.
"When was the last time we sat down like this?"
"At Eriol and Tomoyo's wedding."
Nadeshiko than tugged on her mother's sleeve, "Mother, how did Auntie Tomoyo and Uncle Eriol get together?"
Eriol and Tomoyo stared at each other and laughed. Tomoyo began, "Well, we came together on the same day as your parents did Nadeshiko...
Flashback
Eriol pulled Tomoyo from the door and led her to the front yard of the cottage, leaving Syaoran to go inside to look for Sakura.
"Eriol what are you doing here?"
"Tomoyo... I love you."
Tomoyo was shocked with Eriol's confession.
"But... But... you can't. You have to marry Luna to merge your countries together... And and and... I'm a commoner and you're royalty..."
Eriol growled, very unlike his behavior and silence her with a kiss. Tomoyo stood rigid but soon enough, her desperation for Eriol took over her body and she began to kiss back. Tomoyo's lips were sweet and Eriol was already drunk with its taste. Her small figure was perfect in his arms and passion soared. They broke apart, breathless.
"Everything is alright. Rei pulled a stunt and we can now choose anyone we want to marry."
Tomoyo's lips broke into a smile, "Really?"
Eriol pulled Tomoyo into another kiss, "Does this answer your question?"
Tomoyo giggled and wrapped her arms around Eriol's neck a tad tighter and then heard Eriol's next words.
"So... will you be mine?"
Tomoyo let out a shriek of happiness and rained butterfly kisses onto Eriol's astounded face.
"Yes! Yes... Yes!"
End of flashback
Mira gurgled and everyone laughed.
Tomoyo then began to speak about her dragons back at Eriol's castle and the little miniature dragon that had hatched from Sapphire and Ameyhst's nest. However, Tomoyo was soon interupted by Syaoran.
Syaoran stood up and offered a hand to Sakura. "To the balcony my love?"
Sakura smiled shyly at her handsome husband and nodded. They both then left to an empty balcony after Sakura sent an apologetic glance at Tomoyo, who waved back happily before turning her attention to her own husband.
Sakura leaned against the railing and looked out at the dark sky. Syaoran wrapped his arms around her and dug his head into Sakura's auburn locks.
"Can you believe it? Me, once a unicorn breeder is now a Queen with the two most adorable children."
Syaoran chuckled and spoke huskily against Sakura's neck, "Better believe it. I never thought that the day would finally come when I finally meet a woman who I simply can't resist."
Sakura giggled as Syaoran breathed against her neck, "Can't resist?... Well, I guess that's true."
Syaoran chuckled and murmured, "I love you Sakura... with all my heart."
Sakura's eyes shimmered with delight, "I love you too Syaoran and I will never stop even after the day I die."
They kissed under the midnight sky. What they didn't know was that Sakura's deceased family and Syaoran's father, Ryu watched happily in the clouds above.
They knew that Sakura and Syaoran will be together forever. Reincarnation after reincarnation.
And if anyone asks why
There will be only one reply.
Their love is pure now and forever
And the story of Purity Love is finally over.
The End... For Real!
