Goodbye For Now

Chapter 322

" Hey Shu, stop for a second "

Fu said as he began to speed up his walking a little, holding Shu by his shoulder, turning him around just to get pushed back

" I said im leaving, im not in a good mood right now "

Shu replied as Fu simply stared at him, the two just standing there in silence, hearing the waterfall

" Leaving where? There's no place to leave to anymore "

The purple haired man said as he looked down at Shu with a worried look just for Shu to turn back around and keep walking

" I don't know where I'm going, but I can't stay with you all right now "

Shu said, just for Fu to follow after him, the two taking quick and quiet steps, not saying a word to each other.

The two walked for about a minute before Shu became irritated and turned around in anger

" Stop following me, go back, the group needs you "

" It needs you also "

Fu replied, as Shu simply sucked in his lips, proceeding to grab his head to then grip on his hair, to then press his back against a tree, sliding down as he pulled on his own hair a little

" I know it does, but Ayami has a point, as things are right now Ean is probably in huge danger, so I have to look for him and make sure he's okay "

Shu whispered as Fu would the scratch the back of his own head before squatting down to Shu's level

" You'll get yourself killed Shu, as you are now, you'll probably just beat 30 of those soldiers, plus who knows what type of other weapon they have, we don't know our enemy, no one here does, looking for him now is more of a risk, plus who knows, he might be dea—"

" Shut up "

Shu said, interrupting the man before he could finish his sentence, causing him to just sigh, placing his hand on top of Shu's head

" Do you feel guilty? Or are you worried for him? "

Fu questioned as Shu simply covered his face, lowering his gaze down to the ground

" Both; it's my fault, it was my obsession to grow stronger that lead to our fight and to him leaving us, and although it was Ayami who suggested the idea of keeping the alien's here, it's also my fault for not enforcing my authority and not getting them out, which lead to this. It's all my fault, so it's up to me to look for him "

Shu replied, looking up at Fu with a sad expression on his face, he didn't seem like he was going to cry, but he looked empty and sad

" You didn't tell Ean to leave, he left on his own, plus you couldn't have known that the enemies of these Aliens we've sheltered would come here to earth, none of this is your fault Shu, please understand that "

Fu said, trying to comfort the man who was now in pain, but Shu simply shook his head as if to say he was denying all of Fu's words

" No, I don't care about the technicalities, I still feel at fault, you won't change my mind Fu, I'm going to search for him "

Shu added just to receive a small Nod from Fu who would then stand up, taking a few steps back

" Well then let me get the others so they can say their goodbyes "

Fu said before walking away from Shu who simply took a deep breath, looking up at the now completely dark sky; he couldn't even see a star, those ships were blocking everything, the only reason he and everyone else could see was because those ships were providing light, a small amount, but yet enough for the people to differentiate from night and day.

As Shu thought about what he would do when he leaves, Fu brought out all of Shu's children and wives; the others had no reason to say goodbye to Shu so Fu only brought them out

" Tell them what you told me Shu "

Fu said as Shu simply brought his gaze down; no longer staring at the sky but at his family

" What's going on? "

Yuyen questioned, as Shu would then stand up, taking a deep breath before walking toward them, Ayami looking away from him whilst he got closer

" Im leaving to look for Ean, the six days we stayed in that cave just made me worry more for him, and the argument I had with Ayami just made me realize how guilty I am, so I can't stay when my mind is like this; you guys will be okay without me, Fu is stronger than I am, and Bjorn is just as capable, but that's not the case for Ean's family, so I have to look for him "

Shu replied, as Yuyen would then grab him by his collar, pulling him close whilst glaring into his eyes

" You're not going anywhere, not when earth is in this much danger; You're strong but not that strong, there's a 90 percent chance that you'll die "

" Yeah, you can't just leave like that, we don't know what those aliens have with them, any type of weapon could kill you, plus, just the sheer amount of soldiers that they is more than enough to get rid of you "

Yuyen and Emma said, one after the other, all getting closer to Shu whilst saying said words, just to receive a calm expression from the man who then turned to look at his children

" I know, but I can't stay, I just don't think my mind will keep up with my heart heart if anything were to happen to Ean… "

Shu said as he would then move away from his two wives, proceeding to fall down on his right knee, opening his arms so that his children could hug him, which they did.

" Father just stay "

" Yeah, stay with us Father "

" We will miss you father, please don't go "

Were the words of his children as he just sat there silently, hugging them tightly before letting go and standing up

" My uncle Tekken locked away my Emotions when he came to my castle, yet I still feel anger and pain, if anything, those two emotions have multiplied "

Shu said as he would then look down at his right hand, opening and closing it a few times

" Back when I found out Arthur died I almost lost it; I don't think I can keep my anger down if anything were to happen to him, or you all. I know Fu will keep you all save, so I won't have to worry for you guys, but I have to go after Ean, otherwise I feel like I'll become something I'll regret "

Shu explained as everyone there simply stood silent, staring at him as he just smiled a little, before taking a few steps back, turning around and just when he was about to walk away, Ayami stopped him, grabbing his hand before he could go

" Wait! I need to tell you something "

Ayami said, as Shu would then turned to look at her, then down at her hand and back at her, as she just stared at him before taking a deep breath and kissing his lips deeply.

Shu wrapped his hands around her waist and kissed her back, leaning into the kiss whilst she did the same, kissing for a few seconds before breaking apart, huffing a little

" I love you "

She whispered, as Shu would then kiss her cheek, letting go of her hand, before taking a few steps back

" I love you too "

He replied as he would then jump into the air, landing on top of an edge that lead up to the top of the waterfall mountain.

As he left, everyone just watched, seeing his silhouette disappear as he got further; they all stared at the place he once was for a few more seconds before Fu patted Ayami and Yuyen on their backs

" Alright, come on y'all, let's go back in before the soldiers see us "

He said, proceeding to guide all of them back to the inside of the waterfall
