Chapter 28 Goodbye

"Huh... whe-where am i?" I asked myself as I looked around with a confused expression on my face.

I was standing in a square room that was around five metres wide in each direction. However what stood out the most to me was the fact that the walls, ceiling and floor were all made out a some kind of black mist. I could also see perfectly clearly even though there was no visible light source in the room, in fact there was nothing here just an empty black space.

(Am I in the abyss or something.... no this place feels different and it doesn't look the same, also I don't remember going into the abyss. Hmmmm, the last thing I remember was going to bed after talking to dad) I thought as I walked around the room.

"Actually this place does seem similar to that drea-huh?" I was cut off when I suddenly felt something appear behind me.

I turned around only to see a strange sight, in the middle of the room where there was once nothing there was now a fancy full body mirror. The mirror it's self was rectangular with a curved top. It had a black border with two golden Chinese dragons on the left and right side, their heads met at the top and their tails at the bottom.

"What the!" I said in surprise. I didn't care about the mirror it's self, what caught my attention was the thing that was being reflected back at me.

"Is that....."

In the mirror looking back at me was well... me. However for one thing she didn't have white hair instead she had messy dark brown hair that was almost black. The clothes that the reflection was wearing looked different as well, they were ripped in several places. Also there was the fact that I couldn't see her face as a shadow was covering it. I instantly recognised the half starved looking reflection as my past self.

"Hello?" I called out while taking a hesitant step forward. All I got in response was a long drawn out silence.

"Okay I'd like to wake up now, this is honestly starting to get a little creepy" I said as I backed away just a little from the mirror.

[Remember!]

"Huh?" I jumped back when someone suddenly spoke. The voice in question seemed to come from the mirror, however the reflection's mouth didn't even move a little.

[Remember] this time when the voice spoke it was louder then the first time.

"Who the hell are you?"

[Re%memb&er]

[R_*m€em€_,ber]

"REMEMBER WHAT!" I yelled as I fell forward on to one knee while holding my head with both hands.

[£*,em/;€*mb&&^?er]

I was forced to cover my ears as the voice only got louder and louder to the point it was almost deafening. I also noticed that the voice was becoming distorted making it harder to understand.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY!"

[%;/,%m_&&b¥&^€r]

(Wh-wha-what's ha-happening to t-the reflection) I thought in pain as my head was pounding because of the sound.

I watched as the reflection began to ripple and change into a strange symbol. The symbol was a dark blood red colour and was made up of a ring with three pairs of feathered wings coming out of the centre of it. Also much to my surprise and happiness as soon as the symbol appeared the voice seemed to vanish.

"M-my head is ki-killing me" I groaned and slowly got to my feet.

It was then that the mirror began to ripple again as it changed to something else. This time it changed to what I could guess was an island with a mountain in the centre of it.

{Find Haruko!} I was once again taken by surprise when I heard a new unknown voice, however unlike the last one this one seemed to come from everywhere.

"Wait, who said th-" it was at that very moment that my eyes opened and I found myself lying on my bed.

"-at huh? Oh so now my body decides to let me wake up" I said very annoyed.

"God damn it"

(What the hell was all that about?) I thought to myself as I got out of bed.

I took a minute to organise my thoughts, I also took this time to get dressed as the sun was already up so there was no point in me going back to sleep. Once done with all that I sat back down on my bed and started to think.

(Seriously I have so many questions right now, for starters what the fuck is with that red symbol and what the hell am I supposed to remember. Sigh. I have a feeling that if I want answers to all my questions I will need to find Haruko. Carrion did say he was heading to somewhere at sea so maybe that island I saw has something to do with it)

"I want to just shrug it off and say it was just a weird dream but I have a feeling it's not that simple. Guess I will go see what dad thinks about this whole mess" I let out another long Sigh as I made my way to the door.

==========Rimuru pov===========

"Y-your go-going to rip m-me in two"

I was currently in my slime form with both Shion and Shuna, I was in a some what difficult situation. The two of them were having an argument while they were also in the middle of a tug of war match and well... I was the rope. They were both pulling me in different directions so I was to busy trying not to be ripped in half to really pay attention to what they were arguing about.

"Your wrong, she would look way cuter in pink" Shuna said with a pout.

"No way, purple is so much cuter on her" Shion argued back.

(What the heck are they arguing about anyway?) I asked.

[Answer. They seem to be arguing about what colour dress Suu would look the cutest in] Great Sage explained.

(Do they seriously believe she would actually let them dress her up in the first place? Also if that is the case then why are they using me like this and not her?) I asked while trying to find a way out of this tug of war match.

[Unknow-]

"Hey dad can I ask you somethi-" Great Sage was cut off when Suu came through the door, however she stopped what she was going to say as soon as she heard this.

"Lady Suu would look way cuter in a pink dress not a purple one"

".....Nope fuck this shit I'm out, I'll come back later" she said as her face turn slightly pale and she quickly turned around to leave.

"Nooooo! Please don't leave me" I yelled to her.

Thankfully Suu came back and after seeing her face I had the suspicion that this was something she wanted to talk about in private. So after some persuading on my part Shion and Shuna left us alone so that we could talk. Unfortunately for Suu I had to promise them that they could dress her up afterwards.

"Why did you have to promise them that?" Suu asked with a very annoyed glare.

"Well it got them to stop arguing and leave the room so that we could talk, sooo...." i could only avoid eye contact with her while looking away sheepishly.

.

.

.

There was a long awkward pause between us. The silence continued until Suu finally spoke while also becoming a bit more serious.

"I had one of those dreams again.... the same kind that I had the day I lost control!" Now that caught my attention.

"Are you sure that it wasn't just a weir-"

"Stop, I know what your gonna say and believe me I want it to just be some strange dream but I know it's not... it can't be just a normal dream" she cut me off while putting her left hand over her eyes.

"How can you be sure?" I asked while transforming in to my human form.

Suu had told me about that dream she had the day she went on a rampage. Ofcourse I had thought it was just a dream because she hadn't had one like that since.

"Because... sigh. Because that day when I lost control of myself I remember hearing a different voice talk a long side my own. The same voice I've heard in both dreams, the one that keeps telling me to "remember" something"

(Great Sage any idea what it could be?)

[......]

(I'll take that as a no then)

"Well..... tell me what the dream was about first then we can figure out what to do" I said gesturing for her to continue. Suu then went on to explain the dream and what happened in it.

".....and that's when I woke up"

"Okay so what is it that you want to do?" I asked.

"What I want is answers because I'm really getting annoyed with always being in the dark"

"Well if you are going to find this Haruko then I guess I'll have to com-"

"No" She interrupted.

"Huh?"

"If I am doing this then your not coming with me" she said while looking me in the eyes.

"What do you mean by that? If your going to what could be a very dangerous place there is no way in hell I'm not going with you"

"No.... no your not. Sigh. First I have a feeling that this is something I need to do alone, I'm thankful that you want to protect me don't get me wrong but honestly I'm very capable of protecting myself. Also don't you have that thing you need to do, you know the one that Shizue girl asked you to do for her" I couldn't help but realizes she did have a point there, I had been putting off Shizue's final wish for a while now.

"I can't change your mind can I" all i got in response was a shake of her head.

"You really know how to make a father worry don't you" i said as my serious expression softened a little.

"I wouldn't know, I've never had a father who cared enough to worry about me until I met you so I'm still learning" she said with a small smile.

"I suppose we can finish this after they're done with you" I smiled as I pointed at the door where Shuna and Shion were now standing.

"Oh no if I'm going down your going down with me" she grinned as she looked away from me.

"Wait n-n-no you wo-wouldn't" I said as I started to sweat.

"Hey Shuna, Shion how great do you think dad would look in a female swimsuit!" I could only gulp loudly as both of their eyes started sparkling at the idea.

(Oh shit)

=====Two day time skip, Suu pov=====

I was currently standing out side the town and in front of me was a large crowd of people. In fact almost the whole town was here much to my embarrassment. After my little talk with Rimuru I spent the next two days getting ready for my trip by doing things like enchanting Blue Ash as well as my clothes.

(A/N. You will have to wait and see what her stuff can do now, hehehe)

"Are you ssssure I that sssshouldn't come with you lady Ssssuu" Zeref said doing his best at puppy dog eyes.

"Yeah, we want to come too" both Yin and Yang pleaded at the same time.

"Haha, sorry but this is something I have to do alone" I smiled down at the twins and patted their heads.

"Also Kuro aren't you going to ask to come with me too"

"Well my lady as much as I would love to I don't believe you have any intention of changing your mind about this" the giant Orc said with a sad smile.

"It's okay, I'll be back before you know it"

"And look after everyone for me Zeref" I said as I looked up at him while I also stopped patting the twins.

"I promisssse my lady, I won't let anything happen to them"

"Thank you" I then gave them one last smile before walking towards Rimuru.

"Alright are you ready to go?" He asked.

"Yep"

"Sigh. Just be careful okay" he said with a worried expression.

"I'll be fine, actually with all the enchantments I put on my stuff as well as the fact you let me copy your Thought communication and Magic jamming skills I think that I will be more then fine. I should actually be more worried about you, in a few days you will be leaving to visit Shizue's students" I grin at him causing him to roll his eyes at me.

"Alright get going..... and be safe, please"

"...Don't worry I will"

With that I began to walk away from him while waving to everyone else. I could only smile as I heard them yelling their goodbyes. In fact I had to look away from them as I had started to cry a little.

(So this is what it's like to have people that truly care about you)

(Haha..... is it wrong that I already miss them?)

(A/N. And that is the last chapter of volume one, of course I still have plans before I start volume 2 but I'll tell you about that later. For now... I would like to just thank you all for the support and for reading this. I honestly didn't expect it to ever do this well, so thank you)
