Please Don't Forget Me ... Please

Chapter 20

Seiya, Minako, and Usagi stared at Yaten with expressions filled with confusion, shock, and other mixed emotions created by the hotheaded woman's statement.

The silence stretched onward for almost centuries being it was broken by Seiya's voice protesting her colleague's declaration. "There's no way that our princess liked, let alone loved me as something more than a friend and guardian, Yaten, so stop trying to make stuff up when you know that it's not true."

"Actually, Seiya, she's telling the truth - you did in fact broke our princess' heart by falling for and pursuing Tsukino-san in spite of the fact she was involved with an apparent Chiba-san who was deceased during our last stay here because of Galaxia snatching up his Star Steed first, "deadpanned Taiki, her eyes showing some emotions that usually aren't found within them except when she's in her Maker form.

"But she would've told me that she was in love with me or something instead of just hurting herself by suffering with unrequited love all alone. She knows that she can tell me anything at any time no matter how hurtful it may be to the two of us."

Yaten shoved the other woman with a loud yell, shocking both Usagi and Minako at her show of strength and aggression. "You just don't get it, Seiya. You just think that everything should be all easy peasy when not everything is that way because of the fact none of this would even be happening if it weren't for the fact you fell for her of all people!" she screamed at Seiya, gesturing wildly at the moon princess.

Minako glared at the silver-haired woman, half-lunging as she interjected angrily, "What the hell was that supposed to mean? Usagi-chan has done nothing but -."

"Please, Minako-chan, don't. They're my friends too, " pleaded Usagi with her best friend, her blue eyes shimmering with unshed tears from what Yaten had said about her.

Taiki sneered. "Yes, listen to her because we both know if it weren't for her - Seiya would be fine right now."

The other blonde made a move to lunge at the two musicians, but her friend continued to hold her back.

"Taiki! It's so unlike you to be so rude! She's done nothing but helped and welcomed us to her planet with open arms, and you're just throwing it right back to her as if she were the enemy!" protested the leader of the trio, barely containing her anger at her eldest friend's sudden change of character.

Yaten's next statement shocked Seiya, Usagi, and Minako to the point only their breathing filled within the room. "Well she is for taking you away from our princess and for turning you against us!" shrieked the shortest Light with so much hatred and anger it shocked everyone, but Taiki.
