Harima was in his throught "This is something I never thought she would ask,OH MY GOD THIS IS THE BEST THING THAT HAPPENED TO ME!" after that he came back to reality "Of course Tenma, I like that" He said smiling.
Tenma just smiled and laid her head on Harima's left shoulder, seeing that made Harima smiled with a tear falling from his left eye. Without noticing, Yakumo saw the whole thing and smiled "I'm happy to see Harima happy like that, I do have feelings for him but lately…" Yakumo turned and looked at Hanai while he looks at the window "Ever since after the winter vacation Hanai has changed a lot and he hasn't been the way he used to be and he gave me space and respected my feelings, also the fact that he wasn't smothering me ever since then, it made me feel different towards him…something.." Yakumo looked at the lunch box that Hanai made her and blush a little pink with a small smile.
"Yakumo are you okay?" Sara asked her getting Yakumo's attention.
"Oh..it's nothing Sara really" Yakumo said with a small smile.
Beside everyone else, Karen was sitting by herself with Mudkip sitting at her lap asleep " Words can't express how I feel about this amazing journey I'm about to go, but I worried about Imadori..what made him want to go by himself….I guess I can't stop him but I hope when we made to Kanto that he will change his mind, sometimes I wish that Imadori would….forget it maybe I got to think about that part about him and me" She said to herself then she looked down at Mudkip as he sleeps peacefully, seeing that made her smile as she gave Mudkip a kiss on the head as they continue on their ride on the plane.
