Kaoru's Diary Entry for May 14 of the 11th year of the Meji Revolution
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No. Kenshin couldn't leave me. He just couldn't. I ran after him, trying not to cry. I wanted him to come back. I yelled out to him as many times as I could before my breath ran out. I fell to the ground. All those good and bad times we shared were gone. Into the wind with the cherry blossoms. He just couldn't be gone!!! I fell to the ground, crying, until I woke up about an hour later with a towel on my forehead. Megumi told me that I fainted, and as I slept, I cried for Kenshin to come back, making actions with my wooden sword. This is exactly what happened when Daddy left me. He left, and never came back. I knew he had left this world, that he had left to see Mom wherever they were. At least he woke me up and said goodbye. My last words to Kenshin were going to be "I love you," but it just couldn't leave me, just couldn't come out. All the love I felt for Kenshin, had finally been erased from history. I guess that he didn't even like me if he had left me. I cried myself to sleep for about an hour and found Kenshin's Group, with the exception of Kenshin, surronded my futon. Megumi even gave me my favorite training gi, the one I had worn when I had met Kenshin, and Kenshin's favorite gi, the blue one he wore when we met, to remind me of the very first day I saw the man I would come to love.
Now, Kenshin's Group is making sure I don't faint again for a man I would never have or see again. I can't believe that he wanted to leave me, Kenshin. I'm running out of breath. I'm sleepy, also. It's around 9:00 at night here in Tokyo. I hope Kenshin isn't sleeping under the stars and on the grass. I feel so guilty for letting him go. At least I let him stay here for a year or two. Or else I wouldn't love anyone or be worrying.

Kenshin's Diary Entry for May 14 of the 11th year of the Meji Revolution

I did not feel good, leaving Miss Kaoru and misplacing her trust and worry. She should not worry about me, that I know. I heard her call out for me with tears, and I also heard her... faint. I have misplaced her feelings and I didn't mean to. I remembered to leave her my favorite gi, the blue one I wore when we met, to remind her of me. My feelings.... I do hope she is not worrying of me, for if she is, I am terribly sorry for misplacing her feelings, as I have said. If you ever get a chance to find and read this, Miss Kaoru, I am truly, terribly sorry. I... love you. I had hoped to be able to tell you if things had turned out the way I had planned, and I had hoped that we could have gotten settled. I am going to sleep now. Though I do not know the time, I feel it is late.
