Taiki stepped in Minako's way casually before she could tackle Yaten, just as the door flung open to reveal a desperate Usagi and a semi-concerned Seiya.
"Minako-chan! STOP!" cried the golden blonde to her best friend.
Minako stopped dead in her tracks at the cry and fell against the tallest Light's chest with a cringe.
"Look at what the cat dragged in?" hissed Yaten sarcastically, sending the other short girl a look.
"Don't you dare talk to her like that?" snapped the goddess of love and beauty, barely restraining herself from throttling the woman who usually holds her affections.
"I'll talk to her either way I want to."
"Not with me here, you wouldn't because it is absolutely stupid to talk to a girl like Usagi like that when she's done nothing, but help your ass, Yaten, " sneered Seiya from her place beside the princess, arms folded across her chest.
The silver-haired woman snorted and gestured to her friend's love interest. "As if it's not her fault that you're like this in the first place. If it weren't for her, you wouldn't be in so much pain lately like you were before you lost your memories."
"And how are you so sure it's her fault? Odango has done nothing, but love and care for me like you and Taiki did, so why is it so hard to accept that?"
Taiki responded without batting an eyelash. "Simple, she is the reason that you're not the woman that we've grown up with anymore. She's done manipulated and played you like an idiot in every way possible while engaged to Mamoru-san."
"I seriously doubt she did! Even though I can't remember anything prior to my accident, " the bluenette paused and gazed affectionately over at the blonde beauty, making a point to grasp and squeeze her tiny hand, "I have a lot of faith in Odango's just by the little bit I do know about her."
Then she turned her attention back onto her sister and snarled, "And I'd be damned to standby and have you two discredit her over some "wrongdoings" you two supposedly know about that went on between Odango and myself during our last time here. It's just sad to see you two reduced to vindictive bitches that only dwell on the 'past' when you should be thanking her for making a huger improvement with me than you two were able to."
Seiya paused to regain her composure and a fire soon flared within her eyes as she hissed out the one thing that usual got her companions guilt-riddened, "What would our princess say about you two acting like this? Because I seriously doubt she'd throw a parade in you two's honor for acting like old hags with grudges."
Yaten made an attempt to throw herself at her youngest companion, but was held back by her taller one. "What the hell she's got to do with it?! You're the one who hasn't been thinking about our princess all this time with your constant lovesick looks and songs all because of her right there!" she shrieked in anger, wanting so badly to pummel some sense into her friend.
"I don't even know what exactly you're talking about; I always think about our princess, " responded a slightly bewildered Seiya, though her mind has already guessed at what the green-eyed woman was yelling about.
"You broke our princess's heart!"
