the death of a student

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A heart felt sorrow,

tears at my soul,

makeing me crumple to the ground,

wracked with sobs,

I look at yahiko's grave,

the only student who stayed at my dojo,

I felt a hand touch my shoulder,

I looked up to see kenshin and sanosuke,

kenshin handed me a letter,

from...yahiko?,

saying,

I'm dead,

but not gone,

I will always be here,

so if your students say,

they saw a spirit standing,

and waiting with them,

tell them they saw,

yahiko mioji,

former student,

and current gardian,

of the kamiakashin dojo.

I look at kenshin and sanosuke,

then I stand,

and call out,

to yahiko, where ever he is,

arigato!
