Saki regarded Cullen with an angry look on her face. "I do not care if people are so weak that they can't handle my words..." she answered in a strident tone. Yamaguchi-Cullen took that moment to intervene. "Saki. I don't think your dad meant to insult you..." She meant well and she knew it but all it did was anger her daughter further.

"Well... He did." Saki snapped back at her mother.

Cullen sighed before he turned and moved off, he had forgotten what dealing with antsy teenaged girls was like. It was a downright chore most of the time and he was a busy man a lot of the time and he had little time for it anymore.

Yamaguchi-Cullen regarded her daughter in silence. "Would you like to explain this to me?. Young lady?" she asked of her child. "No. You don't want to... So let me guess..." Yamaguchi-Cullen paused as she gently cradled her right arm with her left hand as she gently ran her fingers along her jawline. An indication that she was deep in thought. "Ennis wanted you to tone down your way of doing things and saying things. Except rather than listen to what he had to say and considering what he said. You decided to take offence and assume what he had to say was of no worth. No value to anyone."

"That's not true." Saki hotly protested.

"But am I wrong?" Yamaguchi-Cullen inquired. "Oh I know all of this because Ennis and I discussed the matter last night..." she added. "Either he would mention it or I would mention it. Except I have ways to compel your audience that he doesn't." as she regarded the child before her.

Sarah regarded Saki as she took that moment to step in. "No. Saki. Dad's right." Thus, there it was that Sarah was in a foul mood as well. "You get away with a lot... You don't seem to know it or appreciate it... But you do."

"Aww... Really?" Saki protested. "Everyone's against me..." and with that, she quickly packed up her school things. "I'll deal with my homework later." she slung her duffel over her shoulder as she made to withdraw from the impromptu battlefield that her living space had been turned into.

Yamaguchi-Cullen knew that she had made her point. But she just needed to comment on one last detail. "That's fine Saki... But consider that you do need to calm down... You come across as very intense... Very gung-ho. But you spend-" was as far as she got before Sarah decided that Saki needed a more forceful lesson in manners. She grabbed her smaller sibling to prevent her from leaving. "Now you listen to me. You fucking runt.!"

Yamaguchi-Cullen muttered. "Oh shit." she sighed. "Sarah. Let Saki go... Now!" she snapped.

Saki's response was even more extreme. Sarah thought her weight and size could pin down Saki and it was clear that this had been coming for a while. "You always get away with this kind of fucking crap Saki... I've had it with you!" and with that, she hauled off and belted Saki once.

Saki screamed as she grasped the other child in a classic judo throw, as she dislodged the larger child before she threw Sarah off of her. Sarah was now so angry that she couldn't think straight. "Come 'ere. You little shit... You're mine!" Sarah yelled. Saki dropped the knapsack from her shoulder as she mentally prepared for battle.

Cullen rushed over as he felt Yamaguchi-Cullen stop him. "No... Let Saki deal with her..."

"What going on?" Cullen asked.

"I will explain. Let Saki handle it." Yamaguchi-Cullen answered. "This has been brewing for a long time... Let them handle this," she added.

Saki smiled. Sarah had not been trained for any sort of combat training where Saki had trained hard for months with exactly this sort of scenario in mind. Sarah had tried to grab the smaller child as she intended to subdue through sheer brute strength. Saki made herself as small as a target as possible before she leapt up over Sarah. She passed as Saki landed before lashing out with his foot. The blow connected with the back of Sarah's head, the child tried to correct and when she couldn't. She went down hard before she ended up on her back. Sarah was breathing hard as Saki wasn't even winded.

The smaller child sighed softly as she regarded her parents. "I..." she turned. She picked up her bag before she turned. "I'll go to my room."

"I will come and collect you for dinner... Go change and have a shower." Yamaguchi-Cullen answered quietly. Before she went over and helped Sarah to her feet. "Fucking br-" was as far as she got before she was halted. "Stop it!" Yamaguchi-Cullen snapped at the larger of the two children. "It's bad enough I had that issue resolved. It's even worse that you had to get into a fistfight with her... and in my home. No less... now what the hell has gotten into you, young lady!"

Sarah growled softly. "She's always getting away with things."

Yamaguchi-Cullen regarded the teenaged girl before her. "No... She's always getting shit on. She is a rather unusual case study in unusual living environments. I had that issue resolved... Why did you need to get in the way.?" she inquired of the teen before her.
