What would Kenshin do?

I posted this in the 'Kenshin' thread over on Beta. I feel bad for hijacking the thread, but it turns out the folks are liking to ponder a bit. Let me know your thoughts. :)

"Suppose Kenshin took his Master Hiko's advice and STAYED to complete his training, including the secret technique. Now, what do you think Kenshin would have done?

Would he have killed? Would he feel remorse? He probably wouln't be working for Katsura and his cause, but what would Kenshin be doing once his training was over?

What do you think his philosophy is regarding taking lives in the name of good?

I would think he would wander the war-torn land just like Hiko did when he found the orphaned Kenshin (Shinta). He probably would only kill 'when needed' just like his master. But would Kenshin PERSONALITY be the same as when he did join Katsura?

Do you think he would still be as sad? More happy?

I'm just wondering what 'another' Kenshin would have been like had he not chosen to join Katsura's cause."
