I. Love. Hiko. He can definitely fix a lot of Kenshin's issues and his martyr complex. Plus, he has a lot more balanced approach to life than Kenshin's headlong idealism. I think, it's because for all his reserve, Kenshin is deeply passionate (no, I didn't mean it that way, though for all I know, that way too). That's actually probably why he is so reserved.
Also, that moment where Kaoru is outside the hut where Kenshin and Hiko are and she just freezes, and can't knock on the door, and then Yahiko and Misao kick in the door and Kenshin turns and he is startled to see Yahiko and Misao but his eyes just completely go past them and fasten on Kaoru. He whispers "Kaoru...dono" as he sees Kaoru standing there and they just look at each other, and you see Kaoru reflected in his eyes and...guuuuuh.
How can freaking animation move me so? Or be so romantic?
And then Yahiko and Misao are all "what are you going to do, Kaoru? Why did you come? Do you want to take him back to Tokyo, or fight alongside him, or confess your feelings for each other" (is there any need to do the latter? Anyone blind can tell what they feel. Heck, Kenshin can tell what she feels). And Kaoru says she doesn't know, she just wanted to see him once more.
And then Kenshin returns from the river and as he and Hiko walk away for training, she asks him if he is angry they came. And he doesn't have any of his amiable mannerisms or anything like that and he really answers the question, no evasions, or lies, or compliments. He tells her that half of him is angry, but the other half is relieved. And OMG, they are such a huge OTP of mine, it's scary.
ETA: Frak! Aoshi! You not only just allied yourself with Shishio, you said it's OK with you if they capture and torture Okina for info. You know, your fellow Oniwabanshu? They guy you left Misao with, who's taken care of her for years and who she regards as family? Because finding Kenshin is all that matters? This is one hell of a screwed-up priority list: dead people you want to appease or atone to as more important than your living friends and comrades? Grrrrrr. Especially since we get that flashback to when you left Misao in Okina's care and went off with your four followers, and you were one hell of a great guy. Heck, even Shishio and his henchmen can tell you are mentally broken. If you ever snap out of this, you are going to be miserable. On a major scale.
