Disclaimer: If I owned RK I would go kill the creators of the OVA.
AN: This story takes place within the first week Yahiko was training under Kaoru. So, he will seem very immature compared to how he normally is. The manga and anime picks up after two weeks training under Kaoru if I recall correctly.

Impatient
Yahiko paced throughout the dojo, muttering under his breath. Kaoru told him to go into the dojo and wait for her there. She said it was time for training. So, where was she?
"Stupid ugly, taking too long to get here… How long does it take to get dressed?" Yahiko scowled and concluded that all girls took a long time to get ready. The most he knew was that he would not make the mistake of barging into Kaoru's room while she was changing. He did that once and the results were not pretty.
"Patience is a virtue a person should have, that they should." Yahiko turned to see Kenshin standing in front of the open shoji holding a laundry basket. He hadn't even heard the paper door open.
"But Kaoru is taking a long time! She told me to come in here half an hour ago!" Yahiko complained. He was, in fact, only waiting in the dojo for ten minutes.
"Yahiko, you should give Miss Kaoru a chance, that you should. Though she may not look like much she is a very good teacher." Kenshin cajoled the youth lightly. Yahiko would not be swayed so easily.
"All she does are breathing exercises! I want to learn how to fight!" Yahiko huffed and crossed his arms over his chest before adding, "Besides, what could I possibly learn from a stupid girl?"
Kenshin sighed and said, "Kamiya Kasshin Ryu is a style based on defense, that it is."
Yahiko just stared blankly at Kenshin.
"That still doesn't change the fact that she doesn't do anything. Why don't you teach me? I'd actually learn something!" Yahiko walked over to Kenshin and nodded pointedly at the sakabatou.
"This one does not wish to pass on Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu, that I don't." Kenshin shook his head hoping he would make Yahiko understand that he was not willing to let more people die by the style. This must have been the tenth time that week Yahiko asked Kenshin to teach him Hiten.
"But-!"
"Yahiko, are you bothering Kenshin again?" Kaoru walked into the room with her bokken in her right hand.
"It's about time you got here, Ugly!" Yahiko stuck his tongue out at her.
"Who are you calling "ugly" you pointy-eyed shrimp!" Kaoru proceeded to chase said youth around the dojo.
"Miss Kaoru, Yahiko just recovered from his injuries, should he be straining himself?" Kenshin tried everything he could to get Kaoru to stop chasing Yahiko. Nothing worked.
Kenshin sighed. It was going to be a long day.

I don't know whether to say sadly or fortunately, but it makes sense to me. I don't know about you, though.
