"Houta, how is the recovery of Japan progressing?"

"It's safe to say that everyone has a roof over their heads now." The computer geek informed Satsuki Kiryuin through a screen that showed two maps. "However, whatever Ragyo did to cause the Life Fibers outside Japan to make the world ignorant of our situation is still growing strong. Not even the lack of anime and games seem to phase them. I'm afraid even if we strip a good number of them, their memories won't return."

"I see. We'll send some teachers out there. Maybe they need to learn the old-fashion way." Satsuki switched to another screen. "Iori, status on the Life Fibers?"

"We cut up the Original Life Fiber and Shinra-Koketsu as best as we can. Even as we speak, they are being loaded into nine holding facilities." Iori looked a bit worried. "You know, if we continue to wear these Life Fibers, we may stop being human."

Satsuki nodded. "I understand your concern, but until every last trace of Ragyo and COVERS is wiped out, a little evolution is worth the risk. Who knows, maybe the biggest change out of this is just to make our first names our family names."

Satsuki closed her laptop and then picked up her baby. She then heads to Ryuko's room. Mako was already in the room, feeding two other children. "L-lady Satsuki! I didn't mean to flash you my-"

"It's a natural part of...being a good mother." Satsuki and Mako put the kids in a crib. "You know, I used to think that I would have raised Uchiha Kiryuin to be like me, but now, I see he's enjoy the company of your little Senju."

"Yep." Mako nodded. "Of course, let's not leave Uzumaki Eddy Matoi out of this..."

The pair turned their eyes to Uzumaki's mother. Ever since Ryuko had dealt the finishing blow to Ragyo's heart, she had been getting sicker. When everyone realized this was no simple flu, they had been trying to heal Ryuko. However, Satsuki suspected that this had nothing to do with Ryuko's body but Ragyo's petty revenge. Even now, she looked deathly pale, but she still mustered some strength to speak to them. "Satsuki...Mako...I have something to say."

"Ryuko, you should rest!" Mako shouted. Ryuko winced, but she smiled.

"It's aways been my wish to die surrounded by friends and family." Ryuko said, and the two knew what she was talking about. "I know you guys have been trying your best, but if I may sound wise, you're making me leave with a smile."

After Satsuki calmed Mako down enough, Ryuko voiced out her will. "I don't know how much Dad had, so I'll just keep this simple. I want to split my fortune between you two. Satsuki, I know this isn't as fancy as the sword Ragyo broke again, but I want to give you half of the Scissors Sword. Mako, I entrust you with the other half."

"But Ryuko, what is Uzumaki going to get?"

Upon Mako's prompt and Ryuko's cursing, Satsuki quickly came up with a solution. "I give my half to Uzumaki, since I don't need more money. Furthermore, you should make Mako a godparent, and she should be the one to raise him."

"Eh?"

"While I don't plan to raise Uchiha like how Ragyo raised me, he will still be raised a Kiryuin. There is no need for Uzumaki to grow up a Kiryuin if we all want him to be happy."

Even Mako could see the logic, and Ryuko agreed to the revision. "Lady Satsuki, Ryuko, if you want friends and family to be with you, we need to gather all the friends and family! You're one of us!"

"One of us...Yeah." As Mako dragged Satsuki and the kids out, Ryuko turned her attention to her school uniform hanging on the wall. "Senketsu, are you sure you want to go with Iori's plan?"

"I know that I will be cut up and integrated into the remains of the Original Life Fiber and the ultimate Kamui. I want to be worn by you one last time, even worn by your child and descendents, but more importantly, I want your children never to fight for their lives." Senketsu declared. "I want this peace to continue on forever."

"Yeah, a world of peace, and it won't be an illusion this time." Ryuko smiled. "Just promise me...that one of you will watch after my kids, okay?"
