Chapter 5:

　　"Appear!" Sakura Kinomoto waved her staff of dreams, and a chicken was born. "Appear!" And there was a cow. Cats, dogs, sheep, pigs and the rest of Noah's ark followed shortly after. Sakura Kinomoto wiped her brow and then looked at me triumphantly.

　　"Wow. That's amazing! I thought animals were beyond your creation magic?" I asked, watching the animals start to wander around in their pens.

　　"They were, but the Research Institute knew it should technically be possible, considering I had already made plant life. So we had Wendy and Sara enhance my magic with their own, Lucy made a Gemini clone and her Sakura added what she could to the formula, Aisia and Sakura Yoshino added their power of wishes, and Levy wrote 'power' on my forehead. We figured if we kept throwing stuff at the problem, something would tip the scale." Sakura Kinomoto sat down tiredly and took a Cure Up RaPaPa'd juice box out of her pocket to suck on.

　　"This afternoon I'll use the Mirror card to make as many copies of these animals as we'll need. We can have a herd of every type of domesticated animal by sunset." Sakura promised.

　　"Sakura, you're the best!" I hugged her tight.

　　"I feel like I could spend my whole life trying to repay you for all you've done for me and never do enough, so keep relying on me as much as you want." Sakura smiled and held me back, though her blush was deepening by the second.

　　Well technically it was Syaoran who did all those things for her, but I'd gladly accept her feelings in his stead. Good job, Goddess! Good job, Syaoran, for getting a girl this great to fall for you!

　　"Rin and Kud will be ecstatic." I kept on praising my ace.

　　"Hoeeeee," Sakura nodded back, her body getting hotter and hotter from being held longer than ever before.

　　I decided to step back before she suffered a critical meltdown. No good no good. The Sakura Kinomoto I knew loved Syaoran deeply but her limit was at kissing, her heart was so innocent and pure. If only the story had extended into high school. . . Well, technically, I still didn't know how her story ended, since it was still being made. Gambatte, Clamp! Keep writing until she's less embarrassed about the adult world!

　　For characters still being written, the Goddess would no doubt be updating to take into account all the new information, so a lot of my girls' personalities were still in their growth spurts. It would be another fifty years before I knew for sure who everyone I married truly was. But that was more or less true of everyone, not just fictional characters made flesh.

　　I had thought about including the Sakura from Tsubasa Resorvoir Chronicle, who did have a more adult relationship with a more adult Syaoran, but the characters were subtly different, Clamp said they weren't the same, and most importantly they had two different voice actors, so it wouldn't have worked. It was better to simply follow the Card Captor path to its natural end.

　　As the original Saimoe winner and well known beauty queen of the anime world, she who wore in splendid manner a thousand different costumes that brought out her unparalleled vibrancy, who was well known to have one of the most developed romances of all heroines, a waifu harem without Sakura Kinomoto was ridiculous even as a postulate. But given her age and character development, and the pace at which Clamp got around to finishing their stories, I would just have to wait to consummate that marriage some other decade.

　　"Azusa will need a turtle, Rinoa a dog, Lafiel a cat, Sakura Yoshino both a cat and a dog, Honoka a dog, Aruru a tiger, Silica a miniature dragon. . ." I started a list to make sure everyone's precious pets would be returned to them.

　　"Hoeeeee," Sakura Kinomoto protested as the list became more and more absurd.

　　"Don't worry. You can do it! The current you can do anything. I believe in you, my dearest beloved!" I clapped her shoulders enthusiastically.

　　"Even if you say that I'm only one of a hundred. . ." Sakura averted her eyes down and sideways.

　　"Right now I'm only looking at you. I'm only thinking of you." I insisted.

　　"You say that, but this is to make pets for your other wives. . ." Sakura pointed out meekly.

　　I made a panicked face, feeling like anything I said would only dig me in deeper.

　　"Well, that just shows your sincere kindness for everyone, which I already knew was what made you so great. . . I love everyone back at the village too." Sakura sighed and surrendered.

　　I wisely decided to keep quiet.

　　"Tell everyone who wants to adopt a pet to come claim them tonight. I don't want to overproduce cats or dogs since we can't eat them." Sakura remonstrated. Then she pulled out her staff and stood up straight again, putting on her business face -- "Appear!"

　　Even Pina got to join in on the fun.
