Hey guys, sorry I couldn't update, I was busy with school work, but anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter

Yumi looked on sadly at Jeremie odd and Ulrich, they looked like they were going to cry.

"Well, are you coming?"

All of the boys got up and said "yes" in a very dull tone and followed her out and to the car. All the way there, nobody spoke until yumi's parents had got out of the car and beckoned her to help with the luggage and carry it. The guys also helped carry some of the stuff that yumi was taking with her. Her mom and dad told her to go and do something, because the plane wasn't scheduled to leave until an hours time. They all wandered off and started talking.

"hey Jeremie?"

"yeah?"

"could I explain to aelita about where I'm going?"

"yeah sure" he passed her his laptop that was in his backpack. She opened it and connected to lyoko.

"aelita? Can you hear me?"

Her face popped up on the screen, she looked delighted to see yumi, but couldn't understand why she was sad.

"hi yumi, is something wrong, where are you?"

Yumi sniffed as a few tears dropped from her eyes " I'm at a airport aelita" she stopped " I'm going away for 3 weeks to Japan, I wont be able to come and battle in lyoko if xana attacks"

Aelita understood immediately, she also felt a bit upset that she wouldn't see her friend for 3 weeks.

"I understand yumi, and don't worry about me I'll be fine"

Yumi let a few more tears fall before she said goodbye. She sniffed again and shut the laptop, giving it back to Jeremie.

" come on guys lets go back now, I need to go in a bit" they all nodded solemnly and followed her back, feeling sad.

They reached the gateway where her mom and dad were waiting for her. Yumi turned to odd Ulrich and Jeremie and gave them each a hug and kiss on the cheek. Then there was a last group hug and she said to them " bye guys, I'll miss you so much and remember that I love all of you" and started to let her tears fall more freely.

On the plane yumi just couldn't stop crying and as the plane took off her thoughts were interrupted by her cell ringing. She picked it up and looked at it. 3 new messages had arrived, one from each of the boys.

Jeremie's message : hi yumi, you've always been a sort of big sister to me so yeah I'll really miss you, please come back safely
