Kenshin had been on the train for awhile when he saw a familiar hair ribbon bounce through the doors as they closed. He smiled, heading in her direction. She seemed to be occupied by something, but looked up when he called her name.
"Ah," Kaoru muttered, shifting where she stood. "Hey, Kenshin."
"Where are you headed?" he asked.
"Job interview."
"Ah," Kenshin murmured, glancing behind him. "There are seats open over there." He took her hand and tugged her in the direction of the bench.
Kaoru tugged her had back. "I'd rather stand."
Kenshin chuckled. "Nonsense, you need to be rested for your interview," and he took her hand again.
This time Kaoru yanked her hand back with more force. "Kenshin," she said firmly, blush rising steadily in her cheeks. "I can't."
Kenshin watched in confusion as she shifted slightly to the side and gestured to her skirt. His eyes widened as he realized that half of it was stuck in the train doors. He tried and failed to hold in an amused chuckle.
"You think it's funny," she grumbled, crossing her arms petulantly.
"I think it's endearing," he corrected with a smile.
"This is why I don't wear skirts."
