Lost.

Kenshin knocked on his and Kaoru's door. "Kaoru, are you awake?"
"Yes Kenshin."
He then walked in to see his wife and son. Kaoru looked worn out, but otherwise fine. In her arms she held the long awaited son.
"His name's Kenji." She whispered softly.
"Kenji." Deciding he liked the name, Kenshin smiled.

"Megumi, why're you still here?" Kenshin asked when he closed their door, only to find Megumi right outside holding a small bundle.
She looked up and then back down. She then showed him the bundle. His eyes widened slightly.
"It's a girl. Kaoru doesn't know. She won't make it through the night."
Megumi held out his daughter to him. Snuggled against his chest, she looked peaceful.

My young one. I feel as if you should live. Why do you have to die? Kenshin asked himself, looking up into the stars as if searching for an answer. He looked down at his daughter.
She looked up at him in return. Her eyes were like Kenshin's. And then she smiled.
Kenshin smiled back. "My little Xien."
She closed her eyes, and ceased to breathe.

Kenshin set his daughter in the basket softly. It didn't seem right to bury her. Just let her float away on the river, like a beautiful memory.
A dark form watched him from the bridge. Seijuro Hiko frowned. That baka. He can't even see the life that's still in her.

Finally done, Kenshin turned to go, leaving his daughter behind, and a new saga to unfold.
