Katara's Journal

[Katara]

Entry One

I am so confused. First, Kenshin hold me. Then he says he didn't want me. Now, he says we might just end up living together. Boys confuse me...
Anyway, the desert is entrancingly quiet. Not even the buzzing of a bug can be heard. I like it here, It makes me feel so...peaceful. Like I have no inner turmoil, like there's no secret war going on, like there are no anti-heros running wild... The stillness... reminds me of home.
Sometimes I wish there was never these bandit troubles. I would introduce Kenshin to father, of course I'd still meet him, its fate! Father, being the kind man he is, would take to Kenshin like he would his own son. I'm sure Sokka would be so glad too meet him too. Kana would be there too, of course. (fate again) And my sister... Shiani, she'd be glad to see a man for me as well. She's probably married to Damyan by now. They were set to wed when Sokka and I left.

[Kenshin]

Ha, I was thinking that you should do something like this the other night when I was at work...

[Katara]

Ya, I was planning on it since I made the journal.

Entry Two

We're finally getting out of the desert! I can't wait to see running water! I've really gotten back into cooking. I guess it's a skill I need if I want a future. Can't fight off bandits with poor nutrition! Once we get into a village, I'm hitting the food stands and making the guys a soup they won't believe! I'll need some carrots, potatoes, and leeks, of course. Maybe even some celery and peas... maybe not peas, I'm not too fond of them. But as meat goes... I wonder what They'll like better, beef or chicken... or maybe even some freshwater fish! Man, the guys are all gonna love me after I make this! Not like thats why I'm making it... No, it's to recover from our hard journey through the desert. Yah. Thats it. Oh, they're catching up... gotta go!

[Kraft]

You're not going to stop making those, right?

[Matis]

You know, it's probably hard to write if you have your hand stuck on the ground, or are watching a fight between the love of your life and an enemy of his. So, she probably WILL start writing again soon.

[Katara]

He's right, Kraft. I'll start these up again when things cool down and we get back on our way to Sacae.

[Kraft]

That's why I said 'going to'....
