August 1, 1848: "Mosquitoes"
We made an early start this morning and passed 'Ayers Natural Bridge' just before noon.
The mosquitoes on this stretch of the trail are most troublesome according to Kenshin. The Kenshin and Toya are covered with red spots due to the annoying creatures, and I was told the spots itch like crazy. It is quite amusing too in a way.
J-Chan and I were inside the wagon asleep when we heard a lot of strange noises. So I called out to see what was going on and Shesshomaru informed us the mosquitoes are giving Kenshin and Toya a heck of a time, and continued to further explain. Toya currently being stuck on the cot can't move a lot. Every time he is bitten he glares at the vial beast with his eyes and pulls out a tool to swat flies while making a swishing sort of noise. It is a most peculiar weapon, and where he pulls it from is a mystery. The tool seems to appear from mid air. Kenshin on the other hand has a swarm following him, and dances around to itch the bites, while jumping every time a mosquito bites yelling Oro , A very interesting site to watch indeed. AndI Shesshomaru am pleased to announce that I am the only one who has been not been attacked bye the winged beasts.
J-Chan and I then quickly decided it would be best for us to stay in the wagon till we loose the mosquitoes. Except, unfortunately we know that the mosquitoes will be around for quite some time... (-.-)
I hate mosquitoes..! (.) My Poor Kenshin..! (t.t)

August 3, 1848: "OX Skull"
Not too much happened today except there was a river we had to cross near 'Mormon Ferry Trading Post' and we decided to take advantage of the ferry.
As well as, Shesshomaru found a clean, well-formed Oxen skull a short ways from 'Mormon Ferry Trading Post'. Kenshin said we should not keep the skull, it would bring bad luck, but Shesshomaru insisted on keeping it any ways, and he put it on his head in protest, so we gave in.

August 4, 1848: "Ryoga"
Today we arrived at 'North Platte River', despite the "help" from the yellow and black bandana wearing, wagon train mate, named Ryoga. I officiallyhave come to the conclusion with several other stories on hand, that he is clueless when it comes to directions. Once he was missing from the wagon train for three weeks. Three weeks..! I am surprised he wasn't killed. And while he was gone though we had the cutest pig following us, the whole situation was quite odd. (!o.0)
Yes, yes, Ryoga is a quite an unusual man…

August 5, 1848: "Wild Fruit"
Today we stopped near 'Emigrant Gap' and were fortunate when J-Chan found some wild fruit. Kenshin, J-Chan, Shesshomaru, and I spent a few hours gathering the fruit. When we were done we found that we had gathered 16 pounds total. What a blessing..! (.)

August 6, 1848: "Willow Springs"
Today we rested for a time at 'Willow Springs' for lunch. We had a picnic, I cooked for a change, and I was very pleased when Kenshin complimented my cooking. (.) Kenshin is the one that usually cooks, and he is dear to me so it meant it a lot to me.
After lunch Kenshin and I took a walk down to the springs, while the others played cards at the camp. Kenshin and I are becoming closer I think. I still don't think he understands that I have feelings for him. Or maybe he just doesn't like me the same way, and isn't doing anything about it for fear of giving me the wrong idea.
Toya is healing very nicely. Today was a very nice, extraordinary, and peaceful day. I am glad to see the every one smiling again… (.)

August 9, 1848: "100 Days & Fog"
Last night Toya announced that we have been traveling for 100 days now. So to celebrate we had an extra big dinner and we all played cards together through most of the night, it was a lot of fun.
The fog was awful the next morning, so we decided to slow down. We decided to
stop around noon, at 'Independence Rock'. Where we rested for our morning's labors until the fog cleared.

August 11, 1848: "Sebastian"
We Reached 'Devil's Gate' about noon yesterday. It was spectacular site. I completely understood what gave it the name.
Today, Sebastian told us we should reach 'Split Rock' with a show of claw and he was right. The weird thing is none of us remembers having him with us before. But Lumiere lit the room when heinsisted that the red crab has been with us the whole time.

August 12, 1848: "Albino Monkey Suit"
Today we saw the 'Three Crossings', what an odd name, and what a sight!
But unfortunately today we had a bit of an argument with Hiko, a cape wearing potter Shisio, a crazy guy covered in bandages; and Yumie, Shiso's love; from another wagon party in our caravan. It happened near 'Sweetwater River', but we patched up our differences before nightfall. It was a rather dim-witted misunderstanding really. It was a disagreement about what Naraku really looked like under his white monkey suit.
Naraku came by to see what all the commotion was about. When he learned it was about him, he smiled and took off the suit. In my opinion he is rather hansom except he had a weird spider scar on his back.

August 16, 1848: "No name River"
Yesterday we tried fording a no name river, which looked to be our best option. But our wagon got stuck. We had to double-team the Oxen to get our wagon out of the mud. Luckily we were able to get the wagon out without it tipping over. Unfortunately though the Oxen became excited and broke free from their restraints. I was wounded in the commotion. Toya says I have eternal injuries... Kenshin and Shesshomaru were able to catch and save the Oxen before they ran to far away. Thank goodness or else we would be stranded.

August 17, 1848: "Dust Storm"
We were hit by a sudden dust storm today. We were forced to wait for conditions to improve. When the storm was over there was sand every where. Kenshin then decided we needed to take the next day off to clean everything up.

August 19, 1848: "Quick Sand"
We were just informed by Kakshi, the copy ninja, that there's quicksand ahead. It looks like again we will have to slow down. None of us want to chance loosing an animal.
We camped today near 'Ice Spring Slough'. To celebrate crossing the quick sand with no troubles we had a party with Iruka, Naruto, Kakshi, Sakura, Rock Lee, Gai Sensei, Jiria Sama and a few others from the Leaf village. It was a lot of fun..! Kenshin, Toya, and Shesshomaru played their instruments and sang for every one, while J-Chan and I cooked the dinner...
I was surprised at how helpful Shesshomaru was today, it usually in Kenshin doing all the work. Kenshin is also the one who usually drives the wagon is the one who drives the wagon day after day and never complains. It is official I am in love with Kenshin. I only hope he loves me to...

August 22, 1848: "Toya's Back"
We are now another step closer to our destination. We reached the Final 'Sweetwater River' Crossing. After surveying the river, Kenshin decided it would be best to ford it. He was right; for once we have had no accidents, thank God..! (.)
Also, today Shesshomaru took Toya's leg cast off. It was a rather interesting thing to witness. Shesshomaru took the cast off with a flip of a whip. (.) But where did the whip come from. 0.o?
It is so nice to see Toya fully recovered, and back on the team. To celebrate we had a special dinner for Toya's return to our group.
August 23, 1848: "Rowe and Jack"
This morning we passed 'Dry Sandy Road', and found ourselves at 'South Pass' by the afternoon so we decided to take a break.
Kenshin and I used the scenery as an excuse to take a walk. We talked about so many things. He would be such an amazing father one day. While walking I tripped on a twig and landed on a fallen tree log getting, a nasty splinter in my thumb, but Kenshin extracted it without any difficulty. Dang splinters this is my third one so far this week. I am lucky it was only that though..
Later that evening, we reached 'Pacific Springs' and decided to spend the night. We had a get together with Rowe and Jack from the L and R wagon group. They told us of the many adventures that they have had so far on the journey and were very flirty. It was refreshing to be flirted with. I still have no clue how Kenshin feels about me, though he got a bit angry when Jack asked me to dance. Rowe asked J-Chan to dance and of course Shesshomaru let her, he didn't seem to care, but the look in his eyes said otherwise. As a result Rowe stayed away from her for the rest of the night.
All and all it was a pleasurable night. (.)
