Battling Castles

chapter 4 flashback

Cagalli gasped at the words she just herd. "A plan to destroy Orb once and for all" she whispered. Tears started to well up in her eyes.

"Father? What is the plan?" Athrun asked a little upset.

"I'll tell you later but first... Princess of Orb.

"What the hell do you want! "tears falling down her face.

"What did you say to me? Patrick said getting angry. He grabbed her through the bars and slapped her across the face. "Watch what you say to me, you little Bitch." He then pushed her agents a wall.

"Father, that's enough!"

Cagalli felt a strong stinging pain in her check, then her whole back went numb. Her vision then blurred and then went black.

"Now I cant ask her the questions. Dammit! Stay here till she wakes up. When she does bring her to my office. I need to talk to you too Athrun. Patrick then left.

Athrun went into Cagalli's cell, and put her onto the hard mattress. He then left her cell and sat waiting for her to wake up.

" Lord Athrun? What are you doing here?" came Lacus's voice.

"Hi Miss Lacus. Im waiting for Cagalli to wake."

"What happened to her?" Lacus sounded worried.

"My father got angry, slapped her, then pushed her against a wall. She probably hit it to hard, and fell unconscious."

"I'll watch over her, when she wakes up I'll have someone get you. I know your busy."

"Thanks Lacus"

Athrun leaves. Lacus just sighs. About an hour later she starts to sing.

"The night time fills the sky. Stars alive go floating by. So still the evening air. So warm and soft bees everywhere. I see you world in harmony. A world of peace and humanity. Where people walk free, like water in a stream. Floating on forever more. The breezes softly blows, caressing warm so sweet and low. Upon my check I can feal tenderly a kissery, like the brush of a hand that I can not see. Like the sound of a voice deep inside of my heart. So I dream of a new day coming for all the world to see. Lift your eyes and see the new day dawning. A dream that will soon come true, the day we've waited for. Lift you heart and see the future for us all. The river is our witness as it flows forever more. As it flows, as it flows forever more. Hmm"

"You know you have a lovely voice." Cagalli said

"Lady Cagalli when did you wake up are you okay?"

"Please just Cagalli no lady. I woke up right as you started singing. Im fine just a little sore."

"Im sorry. I'll have to switch places with Athrun now."

"Wait! Do you know what Athrun meant when he said, I didn't think you would remember me?"

"Yes I do."

"Can you please tell me!"

"Okay. Athrun and I meet you and your brother a few years ago. Personally I was really surprised when you didn't notice me."

"Im sorry. I just don't remember."

"Anyway, I always used to hang out with you and Kira with Athrun. We used to be at peace, no fighting. Then Azril went crazy and broke the peace. We no longer came to visit. Athrun and I were very sad. Athrun had a thing for you, you know."

"So we were childhood friends?"

"Yes."

Meanwhile in Athrun's room

flash back when Athrun and friends were five.

"Kira, what are you doing?". Cagalli asked. "Why are you in my room? You too Athrun!"

"We just wanted to give you something Cagalli, talk to Lacus too." Athrun stated.

"Oh. What did you get me Athrun?"

" Close your eyes"

Cagalli closed her eyes and put out her hands out, but felt something on her cheek.

"Hey" Cagalli screamed. (Kiss on the check)

She tried to hit Athrun (even when little Cagalli is vicious.)

Athrun then said "I think your pretty."

Cagalli stopped in her tracks and blushed, Lacus and Kira giggled.

End flash back.

"I cant believe I said that when I was young."

"Athrun" came Dearka's voice.

"Yes Dearka?"

"The princess of Orb, she has awaken."

"Okay thanks"

Dearka left, Athrun went for the cells.

In the cells

Lacus had left and Cagalli was waiting for Athrun to arrive. The door opens and Athrun steps in.

"Hello Cagalli. Are you ready to go?" asked Athrun.

"Go where?" Cagalli asked back.

"To see my father."

"No I'll never be ready to see him. He was the one who hit my check and knocked me out!"

"Well now you know how it feels" Athrun said remembering getting kicked and bitten. "You know, your as short tempered as ever."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Nothing."

Athrun now had a hard task in front of him. He had to get Cagalli from the cells on the basement, to his fathers room on the top floor (#8). "O-boy how am I gonna do this?" Athrun sighed.
