There was a warm tingly sensation on Rem's stomach. Se couldn't open her eyes yet but she smiled at the warmth. She felt the pain starting to fade away from her. Fading, fading, fading.

Rem slowly opened her eyes. She saw Kakashi standing over her and a green aura was coming from her stomach.

"She's awake!" Guy shouted.

Lee breathed a sigh of relief.

Rem could hear the children crying. "Auntie Rem! Auntie Rem!" She felt her arms and legs being tugged at. She looked over and saw Maya, Dasuke, and all the others crying and grabbing onto her. "You're alive, Auntie Rem!"

"Give her space." Kakashi instructed.

Rem looked around.

One…two...three...four…five…six…Kakashi…Lee…Guy. Everyone is accounted for.

Rem smiled and then looked up at the sky.

"Thank you…" She whispered to Kakashi.

"You're welcome. Don't worry about it." Kakashi did not even look Rem in the eye. He was still focusing his chakra onto Rem's stomach. "I'm glad everything worked out for you. I really am."

"…Guy…Lee…thank…you…" Rem chocked out. Tears were streaming down her face. She turned her head to the side and saw her childhood home burn to the ground.

I suppose I have enough room for six more at my shop. I will just have to work that much harder.

She felt the warmth from her stomach fade. Kakashi stood up. "She's going to need to get to a hospital, but she'll live."

"Alright!" Guy knelt down and slowly picked Rem up. Rem nuzzled her head into Guy's chest.

"Guy, you get Rem to a hospital. Lee and I will bring the children to the village."

"Bring them to my shop." Rem whispered. "I will take care of them…"

Rem looked back. She saw Kakashi, Lee, and the six children fade into the distance. She looked up at Guy.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." Guy grinned at her.

"No, thank you…" Tears came to eyes once more. "Thank you for always believing in me…and for helping me…be my best self. I am a…better person for knowing you, Might Guy."

Guy blushed. "Don't worry, Rem. It was in you all along. You're the one who went to practice every day and you're the one who fought the masked man. Who was he, anyways?"

"I do not know…It does not matter anyways. He is gone now."

"You're right."

"I will never forget what you did for me, Might Guy. Thank you."

"Really, don't worry about it." Guy smiled sheepishly.

Rem's eyelids felt heavy.

"Might Guy, I must rest now. Thank you…" Rem drifted off to sleep with a smile on her face. For once, she rested peacefully.

Fin.
