"Damn you four eyes!" Harima says carrying the heaviest bag he's ever carried. They both were stomping up the steep trail.
"We're the men on this campout! The lady shouldn't haft to lift a finger!" Hanai says back.
Ok he had Harima there but still "You guys doing ok?" Karen asks walking by carrying two bags.
"F-Fine…" Harima lets out. "Damn what does that girl eat?" Harima thinks to himself.
"Ok…" Karen walks past them.
Up ahead
"Man it's sure nice of those guys and Karen to carry all the stuff for us." Tenma says looking back at them. Harima had just fallen over and Karen picked him up with one hand.
"What about all the other guys?" Mikoto asked.
"Asuo said that he would be up after his shift and Imadori said he would be here…." Akira said.
Meanwhile
"Hey are we there yet?" Imdorie says sticking his head out of Hanai bag.
"You jack ass! Get out and help us!" Hanai yelled.
"But it looks like Ichi has it all covered…" he said as they all looked at Karen.
"You call yourself a man watching a young women carrying two of these heavy bags!" Hanai yells.
"Oh no…Its fine…imadori doesn't haft to carry it…I'm getting my daily workout." Karen says blushing.
"That's my Ichi!" Imadori gives her a thumbs up.
"Ok just get the hell out of that bag!" Hanai yells.
"Ok ok geez." Imdorie climbs out of the bag.
One hour later
"We are here! Look at all the snow!" Tenma yells running to the snow. They walk to the cabin a couple of yards away. "Where is Harima and Hanai?" yakumo asked.
"Oh you of all people would want to know…" Sarah said in an angry tone.
Yakumo was a bit shocked at the tone she said that in. Sarah turned and walk back towards the path they came to see where Harima and Hanai were. Karen was carrying Harima on her back "he passed out…but he's ok." Karen smiled walking pasted Sarah.
Sarah looked down the path to see Imadori then about 20 feet behind him was Hanai. He was slowly stomping his way up the mountain.
Sarah couldn't sit by and watch him, so she walked down to where he was. "Do you need any help Hanai?" she asks
"No…fine…almost there…" Hanai says sweating like crazy.
"Oh you work too hard Hanai…I'm helping you and I wouldn't take no for an answer." Sara said slipping in under the bag next to Hanai.
"Thanks…" Hanai says. Sara smiles and they both continue onward.
Karen set Harima down in the cabin. Tenma saw this as a possible moment for Yakumo "Yakumo you should check on Harima to see if he is ok." She says trying to contain herself.
Yakumo didn't see why not so she walked over to him. Well…he was breathing…that's all Yakumo could tell you. His sunglasses were a little dirty so she took them and decided to clean them.
Just then Sarah and Hanai walked in "We made it Hanai!" she said as they both fall over in exhaustion. Sara lies on the floor and saw Yakumo cleaning Harima's sunglasses.
"Ok Yakumo…you are really pushing my buttons now! Why do you continue to do this when you know how I feel!" Sarah thoughts almost became words.
Harima open his eyes "what…what happened?" he asked.
Yakumo puts his sunglasses on "we are at the cabin…Karen said you passed out." She said
For the first time Harima got a good look at Yakumo's face. Come to think about it…she was kind of cute…but maybe he was kind of out of it he thought.
Of course Yakumo saw what he was thinking for the first time…it wasn't vibes anymore…words were there this time. It just said that he thought she was cute, it made her blush but she knew that he just woke up from passing out. So it was nothing to get all worked up on.
Eri came by "Yakumo could you help out with the unpacking…" Eri's words died off when she saw Harima. She knew Harima for being the thug at the school, but after finding out he was a good guy her view of him changed a bit. But something seems too familiar about the way he was against the wall and the fact he looked kind of beat up.
Harima at this time got a good look at Eri… "Wait…she's looks familiar…blond hair…hmmm" Harima tried to put thing together but it hurt his head.
Eri shook it off "ugh…Harima is no artist…if only I could see him without his sunglass maybe I could tell if that was him." She thought. Eri walks away along with Yakumo.
Sarah decides to crawl over to him because her legs are useless after carrying that bag. She reaches him and try's something a bit bold. Sara rests her head on his lap "Hey Harima…you ok?"
Harima didn't think too much about this, Sarah looked really worn out. "Yeah…I'm going be sore tomorrow haha." Harima laughs.
Sara smiles "yeah…me to…" she wanted to ask Harima about Yakumo… but maybe it was some kind of misunderstanding. Besides Yakumo was also her best friend…she wouldn't do something like that to her would she?
Yakumo was helping unpack when she was thinking about what she saw in Harima's mind. The word cute really caught her attention. "I guess Harima has really moved on…is he trying to find someone else? Is he starting to have feelings for me?" Yakumo looked back at Harima to check his thoughts. But all she saw was Harima asleep and Sarah also asleep on his lap. "Or he could like Sarah…I hope she gets what she wants." Yakumo thinks going back to unpacking.
Couple hours later
"Are those guys are still asleep?" Mikoto asked sitting at the table.
"Yup still in the same spots…check this out." Akira said holding a picture of Harima and Sarah sleeping against the wall.
"Well don't they look cute together…Yakumo when did Sarah become so close to Harima?" Mikoto asked.
"Pretty much since the beginning of the school year." Yakumo said.
Tenma notice that her plans to get Harima and Yakumo together were at risk with Sarah there…she had to do something. She thought about this for a while, it was her job to make Harima and Yakumo happy.
"So you girls think there a pair?" Mikoto asks. Everyone thinks about it Eri says maybe, Akira says nothing, Tenma says no, Yakumo says yes, Karen said she didn't know, and Hanai was passed out a couple of feet away from Harima and Sarah.
Meanwhile outside
Imadori was sitting outside with Asou showed up. "What's up Imadori?" asou asked.
"Oh hey…just sitting out here, everyone is like passed out. Everyone else is eating; you could still get something if you want." Imadori said
Asou nodded and went inside.
Later that night
Harima was standing in a black empty void. "What is this place?" he mutters to himself.
"Harima." A voice calls from behind him.
He turns to find Tenma standing there. She was in her school uniform. "Tenma whats going on?" he asks.
"I'm sorry I don't feel the same way Harima." Tenma says looking at the floor.
Harima felt an overwhelming pain hit his chest like never before. It forces him to drop to his knees he was now breathing hard. All the feeling for her came back.
Then beside her a younger Harima appeared "You're a nobody, why would someone like you get someone like her. So what you saved her but you screwed that up to. Your just a screw up here take this…it's all your good for." The younger Harima says throwing him a bottle of beer.
"Screw you." Harima says letting the bottle hit the ground. "I'm not going back to you…there's someone out there for me…" harima said out of breath. He was still feeling the sharp pain in his chest.
"Who could love someone like you? You think you can't get rid of me? I'll always be there buddy." The younger Harima says turning around. He starts to walk away with Tenma.
"That's not true!"
Harima turns to see Sarah walking up next to him "You don't know Harima like I do! He is twice the man you ever were!" she yelled. The younger Harima just keeps walking. Sarah turns to Harima and levels with "Don't listen to him…Your my best friend and I know the real you. You're a good man Harima and never go back…"
Harima opened his eyes to see Sarah still sleeping on his lap. It was an odd dream, but he was glad he had it. It reminds him what he had right now…Sarah. Without her he would have been still drunk in the streets picking fights. She was the only one who took the time to look for him. "Thanks for anything Sarah." He mutters grabbing a pillow and placing it under Sarah's head. Harima went outside it was about 4am and it was still dark. The air was a bit cold but bearable.
"Harima you awake?"
Harima turned to see Tenma rubbing her eyes "uh…yeah…" he says turning red.
"Why are you up so early Harima?" she asked
"Oh…I just woke up…went to sleep at 5pm yesterday…So sore today haha." Harima laughs.
"You don't talk to me much anymore…why?" Tenma asks.
"You still make me nervous is all." Harima says. He had moved on but her presents still had some effect on him.
"Oh I see…Harima what do you think about Sarah?" Tenma asks. The question didn't seem to weird "Ummm she's my best friend…my first best friend. She's done a lot for me. When I went missing she was the only one who went to look for me…I don't know where I be without her." He says thinking about the dream he just had.
"Would you ever date her….or Yakumo?"
Harima jump a bit "W-what! Uh…I don't know why would you ask a question like that?" Harima asks.
Tenma laughs "everyone thinks you and Sarah are a good pair…But to tell you the truth…I think Yakumo is better for you." She says
This was an odd topic to talk about but Harima went along with it. "Why you say that?"
"Well…I guess I can picture it…plus you're a good guy Harima and your one of few people I would let date my younger sister." Tenma says.
Harima looked around to make sure no one was ease dropping. "To tell you the true Tenma…I'm not really looking for anyone at the moment…I'm trying to focus on my current life…Sure your sister is a looker…so is Sarah, but I'm just not ready for something like that yet." He says. Harima thought about that other girl he saw in the ally that one day. The effect she had on him to.
"Well Harima…I just want you to be happy! So keep up the good work!" Tenma smiled. Harima smiled back, coming from Tenma it meant a lot to him. Things didn't seem so bad now…but after the talk about possible relationship it made him do a lot of thinking.
