Chapter 1: Forbidden Memories
I do not own Star ocean or Samurai X
He walked slowly to the Airyglaph cemertary. Albel stepped into the holy ground of the dead, he slowly came apon a tomb stone which was ingraved in it, Julia Nox. A deep sigh left the cold captain's lips as his eyes grew dim and hazy as memories flow within him the ones he wish he could forget..but not forget her...His first love..the one he was destined to be with, but that all changed after the accident four years ago. He stared longingly at the words on the marble rock before a calm cool voice broke his train of thought. " Albel-san?" The voice came from behind him. He turned to see a blue haired boy. " What is it worm, can't you go bug somebody else?" He growled lowly his raspy voice passed through his icy lips. Fayt looked to him. " We are about to leave...what are you doing here in the cemertary?" He asked. " Hmph none of your businuss fool." Albel repiled as he turned from Fayt. "Albel-san..." He muttered as he followed the anti-soical captain out of the cemetary. Soon Fayt passed him waving to Cliff, Nel and Maria. " What kept you two?" demanded Maria. " Hmph.." Albel walked off, staying behind the pack of heros as usual. " He'll never change." Maria muttered to Nel, Nel only nodding her head in agreement. Fayt looked to Albel worried a bit.
"I wonder why he is so distant...and why was he in the cemertary..." Thought Fayt. Cliff blinked watched Fayt stare at Albel, who seem deep in thought himself. " Hey uhh..Fayt...why are you staring at Albel as if he was your long lost love or something?" Cliff chuckled. Fayt turned quickly a slight blush in his cheeks. " I am not!" Fayt shouted causing everyone to laugh except a certain multi-colored hair captain, who seem to miss the whole thing. Everyone stared at Albel in awe that he didn't react to Cliff's stupid comment. He just kept his eyes closed and kept walking. " Hey Earth to Albel!" Cliff screamed. Albel came back to reality and glared at the group. " What are you Maggots staring at!" He demanded the group. They all just stared at him trying not to laugh. " Nothing.." They said in usion. The Captain raised a brow at this. " Tch, whatever..." He stared off to the left as they came apon the Urssa Lava caves. Fayt looked back to Albel. " Albel-san..how do you do that?" " Do what Fayt?" he asked. Everyone gasped at Albel." What?" he asked again. " Did you call him by his actual name! Not worm, fool or even maggot!" gasped Maria. " Albel are you running a fever!" asked Cliff teasingly. " What are you freaking about fools, thats his name isn't it?" Albel spoke as he entered the gaint room where the dragon god slept. "Hmm...he's been acting werid." Nel whispered to Fayt. Fayt nodded.
"Julia..." The mere mention of the name in his name caused his heart to ache. Albel ingored this pain as he stood before the gaint dragon. " Its huge..." Fayt said amazed by the dragon. " Now thats just too big.." Maria spoke in awe of the dragon. " Impressive.." Cliff only manged to say. Albel rolled his crismon eyes as he muttered. "Let's just get this over with.." Nel stood and bowed at the dragon. " We ask you of your assitance..." She spoke sternly but at the same time gently as though not to offend the dragon. " What would you have me do?" Asked the Dragon God. " Bear our weapon and defeat these ships.." Nel Responded. "Bah! I shall never bear anything made by you flithy humans!" "Tch! fine its time to show you a lesson!" Taunted Maria. " Yeah!" Fayt agreed as he pulled out his bastard sword. "Let's just get this over with..." Nel sighed. Albel was silent as he drew his katana slowly. The dragon roared mightly as they charged vastly. Fayt swung swiftly cutting the dragon's leg. The dragon screeched in pain, attempting to claw at Fayt. Fayt dodged easily as he summon ice needles. After a half hour of stright battling the dragon soon gave in. " A promise is a promise small, but powerful humans.." He finally said. " We won!" Cliff and Fayt jumped around happily. Nel only nodded as Maria patted her on the back. In the back Albel wiped the blood off his sword and sealth it as he began to walk to the dragon, he froze as he winces in pain slightly, "what the?..my arm wasn't injured in the fight..why is it... burning?" he thought as his arm under his claw began to burn more intensely. Nel noticed the pain of the black birdage captain and went to him. " Are you arlight Albel-kun?" She asked surpising finding herself concern for him. He narrowed his crismon eyes. "Hmph just a scratch...nothing of you to be conern about Nel." He walked off quickly. Nel gasped softly staring at him." He didn't call me Maggot...maybe he is getting ill..." she muttered as they boarded the dragon.
"What was that Nel-chan?" Asked Cliff with a grin on his face. Nel looked to him annoyed." None of your businuss.." she simply said. " Its best just to ingore him." Maria said snickering. "Hey!" Cliff shouted and Fayt and the rest laughed. Albel sighed in annoyance. "Look the castle!" Fayt pointed out. The dragon landed infront of the king and queen. "You tamed him!" the King gasped in disbeilef. "Tamed I agreed!" The dragon spoke up suddenly. "I see." the king muttered. "Nel..stay and fly with the dragon." ordered the queen. Nel Nodded and turn to see Albel jumping off the dragon, she stared at him longingly as he walked into the castle. She sighed knowing not to follow, but for Fayt all did was follow. " What do you want Worm?" Albel growled lowly. "Well you've been acting strangely..." Fayt gained the courage to say. "Hmph..whatever.." Fayt looked hurt as he stared at Albel. Albel blinked at his expression. "Whats wrong fool.?" Fayt blinked. Was Albel actually caring how he feels? "Well worm!" Albel grew impatient at Fayt's stalling. "Well you have been so distant..and well not yourself.." Fayt spoke. Albel went silent. "Why were you visiting that grave...? Albel turned quickly heading out of the room. "Wait Albel please!" Fayt ran out after him.
"..That...grave..."
