Standard Disclaimers apply, I'm not broke anymore but that's besides the point.....
**Author's Notes: I got the idea for this fic while listening to some John Mayer. This is not going to be your standard Kenshin reincarnation fic. Firstly, I've put them in the States and gave them all Western names that are close to or similar to their Japanese names. And secondly Kenshin and the gang won't find out they're incarnates. But you don't need to worry about that until the next chapter. So for now enjoy the prelude.
~Prelude~
She was gone. He was left alone. He sat in the main training hall, he'd been there for days now. The reality of his situation had not set in yet. Somewhere in his mind he believed she'd just come back. And things would be better, normal again.
People came in showing him pity. They tried to get him to eat or at least move. But he didn't care. He was slowly sinking into his own personal hell. He went to the burial.
It was the least he could do....
Do to repay for what had happened, he could have stopped it. He knew it was his fault, he knew he could have prevented it. But he hadn't.
She was gone......
And now so was he. The kami were playing some evil trick on him. Giving him happiness, for once, then ripping it away from him as easily as he received it. It was all a cruel joke. The gods had taken his heart, the heart of the sword.
A man can't go on without a heart....
After the service he walked down to the banks of the river, to that spot.
Their spot....
He pulled his sword. He chuckled to himself. The man so feared, so deadly, reduced to this. They would laugh if they saw him like this.
"I'm coming koishii..."
With that he flipped the blade.

Well I can fight like the devil
Or do what I'm told
But one of these days
I've got to hit the road
On my way home
I'm coming home
That's where I'm going
Or do what I'm told
But one of these days
I've got to hit the road
On my way home
I'm coming home
That's where I'm going

YAY!!!! Actual Kenshin fics!!!! 
The Prelude really won't have much to do with the story, but I can see that you have a nicely crisp writing style.

"In the clearing stands a Boxer,
And a fighter by his trade,
And he carries the reminders
Of every glove that laid him low
Or cut him 'till he cried out
In his anger and his shame;
I am leaving, I am leaving,
But the fighter still remains."
