December 23, 1854

Kenshin tried not to think of the girl, he would never probably see her again. No, that was wrong. He would see her again and he knew it, but not on friendly terms. If he saw her again she would stop at nothing to kill him. It bothered Kenshin though; the question of why he didn't want to kill her plagued his mind. She was nothing special, but once again he knew that was far from the truth.

She is a woman who not only knows how to fight with swords, but she is actually VERY skilled with them.

She has a fiery temper, unlike some of the wimpy women in Japan today.

She has the most beautiful blue eyes and jet black raven hair…

He almost blush as he thought that, what was he doing thinking about her hair? Or her for that matter? He has a job to do. He has to get to Osaka and take care of his business.

A/N Someone said they where getting confused and asked me "rurouni or ronin?" Well, I meant what I said, Kenshin is a ronin. This story takes place in the Bakumatsu period of Japan when Kenshin is still an assassin for the Ishin Shishi (except in this story). If you see the date of when this diary is taking place in (1854) that's still in the range of when the Bakumatsu was still present (It ended in 1867 just about).

If you saw the movie (Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal) then you should know that this fanfic is a alternate event fanfic which means that he never meets Tomoe thus never becomes a rurouni, (well, as far as any of you readers know he never becomes a rurouni because we haven't gotten there yet in the story, if we ever). Thank you very much for reviewing and telling me I am doing a good job though, I appreciate all reviews and try to set the reviewers who are confused straight so they are no longer confused. You might want to brush up on your Japanese history a bit to really understand the story fully, but otherwise just enjoy it.

As for everyone, thank you for reading and PLEASE review. I like to know people are reading the story and be able to take criticism and praise for my works to become a better writer mentally and actually (If that didn't make sense to you for some reason then never mind).
