Fics like The Guiding Star

In the late 19th century, Sentinels and Guides find themselves increasingly marginalized in a world uninterested in throwbacks. Kaoru is used to being unwanted as an orphan, a female kendo instructor, and a Guide. She knows Kenshin cares for her, but the Sentinel has vowed to never bond. Unconsciously he’s grounded his senses on everything but the taste of her skin and the resonance of her soul, while she lives with fluctuating mental shields and an aching emptiness. Yet she loves him. So they precariously balance between friendship and something cataclysmic. Then Kaoru rescues two foreign children and suddenly the fate of future Guides and Sentinels throughout the world hangs in the balance.
