Tomoyo got excited and said she was brimming with ideas about their new life together and the child they wanted to have. She told Sakura she was going to take a bath to relax and plan everything. Tomoyo did most of her thinking and planning that way. It almost as if everything became clearer and more detailed if she were in the tub. She grabbed a change of clothes and bounded for the bathroom. Sakura listened at the door as Tomoyo got in and thought this was her chance to repay her for all of her love and the pain she had caused her while she was in Hong Kong. She ran back to Tomoyo's room and rifled through her bags. She found what she was looking for and set it on the desk. It was the Clow book. Before she could open it, all of the cards sprang forth and started circling her head. As they often did when they wanted to know what was going on. "I'm so sorry I haven't been talking to you much lately. I can't remember the last time I told you what was happening, or even the last time I just said hello to all of you." Sakura looked down ashamed and said that she wasn't worthy of their companionship. The cards responded by glowing and circling even closer. Sakura knew they were protesting her words with all their might. "As you probably guessed, we're not in Hong Kong anymore. Sayoran and I have broken up and right now I'm staying with Tomoyo-chan." The cards glowed even brighter and danced about as if to say they were happy for her. "Anyway, I've asked Tomoyo to marry me... she's the one that I should have married in the first place. She's always loved me no matter what, and I caused her alot of pain when I ran off to Hong Kong. I want to do somthing very special for her, Tomoyo and I want to have a child, but I don't like the idea of planting someone else's sperm inside of her, it doesn't seem right to me. I have an idea of how to get around this, but I'm going to need a little help." She could feel the cards reaction in her heart. They loved Sakura and would do anything they could to help. Slowly, she stood up and asked the cards to form two circles around her. As they did, she reached inside her shirt and pulled out her key. She held it out at arms length and started to chant. "Key that hides the power of the stars! Show your true form before me! I, Sakura, command you under our contract! Release!" In a whirl of light, the key grew into her staff and she grasped it. She looked at the two circles surrounding her and without even moving, she made a card float into her hand. She turned it over and hugged it tightly. "Please, please help me. I want to give something very precious to my beloved. I want to make her happy. I want to give her a child. A daughter." Sakura hugged the card even tighter as she started crying. "Please, give me a child to love and to nurture. Give Tomoyo something she thought she could never have... Hope." Another flash of light and the magical seal under her feet was duplicated in front of her. With all her heart, she willed it to get smaller and smaller. Her knees grew weak at the stregnth it took to use this much magic all at once. She almost collapsed, but was given what seemed to be an endless amount of energy as the cards tried their hardest to give all of their power to the mistress of the cards. She got it as small as she could and pulled it towards her. She put her arms out to her sides and the seal moved to her stomach, stopping for only a moment as it dissapeared inside of her. As quickly as it came, the light and the seal were gone. Sakura took a deep breath, then collapsed as the remainder of her stregnth dissapeared. Before she hit the floor, the Float card appeared and stopped her. It smiled at her and gently laid her down on the bed. After giving her a kiss on the cheek, Float returned to it's card form and joined the others in the book. "Thank You." She whispered in her sleep.
