Summery: After Kenshin dies; Saitoh shows up to kill everyone at Kamiya Dojo, but finds himself unable to harm anyone. Is it Kaoru's guardian angel.... or Kenshin's dying wish?

A/N: Reviewer responses:

cleo: Thanks! I'll try to update, but I start school on Wednesday.

jy: I've always pictured Sanosuke as the tough guy, and he doesn't want anybody to see him cry so he lets his emotions out a different way.

Kenshinbaby: Thanks, that's the kind of reviews I really need. Comments are nice, but criticism is better. Kenshin was supposed to come back later the same night they buried him, but I guess I forgot to put that in.

=Chapter 2=

After Kenshin got over the fact that he was floating and that the rain went straight through him and never got him wet, the samurai shot off like a bullet out of a gun towards the Kamiya Dojo, going straight through several people that were trying to get out of the rain.

=Kamiya Dojo=

Kamiya Kaoru was a mess. Her hair was tangled, her clothes were dirty and wet from the rain, and her leg was still slightly injured because of Borislav. However, the worst things about her right now were her eyes. They looked almost as dead as Kenshin's; their cerulean color had faded into a dark blue. Next to her was a tray with cold untouched food.

"Kenshin...." she muttered softly into the empty room, "Why'd you have to die....?" Tears started to slowly fall down her face until she was sobbing out loud.

Unbeknownst to Kaoru, Kenshin was watching her. Her every tear seemed to stab his heart.

=Clinic=

"Honestly, Dr. Genzai, I don't know what to do about Kaoru. I was able to snap her out of it after Kenshin left for Kyoto but now that he's dead I don't know if she'll ever go back to normal," complained Megumi.

"You should take the day off and visit everyone. I'm sure you'll need it as much as them," Dr. Genzai replied, "And don't worry about the clinic, I can take care of everything."

The woman silently thanked him as she walked out of the building and onto the dirt road that led to the Kamiya Dojo.

=Kamiya Dojo=

"Kaoru, you are going to the market with me and that's final!"

"No."

"Don't make me drag you girl!"

"...no."

"That's it!"

Megumi then pulled Kaoru off of her futon and said, "First, you are going to get a new kimono on, and fix your hair! You look like a mess!" The fox woman then walked out of the room and down towards the kitchen, but not before shouting, "Do you really think Sir Ken would want you to act like this?!"

Kaoru stared straight at the wall for a bit then whispered to nothing, "What would he think of me acting like this....?"

"He would think that you should forget him, that he would," Kenshin whispered back even though she couldn't hear him, "He doesn't want you to do this to yourself and you should get on with your life."

After about ten minutes, Megumi came back in the room and took the now refreshed Kaoru out of the house and towards the market. "I'll get some eggs, rice, and salt. You go get the tofu, flour, and fish," said the fox woman before walking away.

Kaoru started towards one of the salesmen before realizing she forgot her money at home. Her cheeks burned red as she started running after Megumi.

In her rush, she accidentally tripped over a little girl.

"Oh, I-I'm sorry!" stuttered Kaoru.

"That's okay," the girl replied as she pulled herself up and looked in Kaoru's direction, making the woman gasp.

The girl had plain black hair that nearly reached the ground and skin so perfect she looked like a porcelain doll, but there was something even stranger about the young girl. Her eyes were covered with a white film, in other words, she was blind.

"I'm Chika! Who are you?" asked the girl.

"Kamiya Kaoru," Kaoru replied softly.

Chika smiled and said, "That's a nice name! You think you could come play with me some time?"

At that very moment a woman in her mid-twenties that greatly resembled Chika, but she had visible brown eyes, pushed her way through the crowd towards them both and shouted, "Chika! You shouldn't run off like that, you know you can't see!" She then turned to Kaoru while saying, "I thank you for watching her a bit, but we should be going home. I'm Aya, by the way." Aya then took Chika's hand and walked off, leaving Kaoru behind her.

"Poor girl, being blind at such a young age," she whispered, feeling a bit better and momentarily forgetting about Kenshin before running after Megumi.

=With Sanosuke=

The tall man had just left the envelope of money on the table in the Kamiya Dojo before walking outside and kept going, not exactly sure of his destination.

Eventually he came to the graveyard and was standing in front of Kenshin's tombstone.

"Why'd you have to die and leave us all alone here, dammit!" shouted Sanosuke as he punched the stone, smashing it to pieces. The stone shards hit the ground all the way up to twenty feet away due to the force of the blow.

Sanosuke then started walking out of the cemetery and towards the forest, tears slowly forming in his eyes out of sadness and guilt.

=End Chapter 2=

A/N: So, good? Bad? Ugly? Please review and tell me, and I still want you to try and find out what nationality Borislav and Nobu are and what their names mean. Also, before I get people shouting at me because of OCs, Chika and Aya are the last ones I am planning to put in, and they do have a point later in the story.
