It was _hot_.
"When did summertime get so hot? It's too hot to run a dojo," Kaoru complained as she lay in the shade fanning herself.
"It's too hot to gamble," Sanosuke grumbled as he sat indoors and poured icy-cold water over his head.
"It's too hot to do anything," Yahiko panted as he hid underneath the dojo floor.
"I just love nice weather like this, that I do!"
Kenshin paused as three pairs of eyes glared at him.
"Kenshin, how can you possibly enjoy this heat? It's too hot to MOVE!"
Kaoru fanned herself harder as she finished speaking.
"Yeah Kenshin, you'll probably fry into a crisp if you walk around with all those layers on," Sanosuke pointed out from the doorway as he poured more water on himself.
"Yeah! Um, Kenshin? Why _are_ you wearing all those extra layers?"
Yahiko was right to be curious. It was the hottest summer their town had ever experienced and Kenshin was prancing around with at least ten extra shirts and pants and wraps on.
"I'm convincing myself it's really wintertime. Brrrr!"
As Kenshin ran off, the other three sweat-dropped.
"It's official: the heat's gone to his head. He's lost it."
"At least he seems to be enjoying himself," Sanosuke said, then frowned as he suddenly discovered he'd run out of buckets of cold water.
"I can't believe it got so hot so fast! Just the other day it was pleasantly warm," Kaoru said as she fanned harder.
Meanwhile, Kenshin was still prancing around with his many layers of clothing on. Then he checked the length of the shadow the dojo was casting.
"Well, that's long enough. Now…"
Calmly, he took off all the extra layers until he was dressed normally. He flopped back on the short grass in the dojo grounds with a happy sigh.
"Ah. That's _much_ cooler..."
"What was that Kenshin?"
Sanosuke frowned as he stood menacingly over Kenshin, buckets in hand. Kaoru and Yahiko were frowning from their respective positions.
"Um, let's go for a swim?"
"That's a great idea! The river's bound to be just the right temperature today! Let's go!"
The other three blinked as Kaoru suddenly gained a huge burst of energy. But…
"One of you, carry me there!"
They sighed.
The scorching heat made wavy lines in the air. The town was very quiet, everybody either at home or part of the mob in front of the ice store. The ice store owner was making a huge profit selling seats inside the ice store house.
…But the Ken-tachi didn't pass that way. Oh well…
"Ugh, Kaoru you're dripping sweat all down my back! Eww!"
Yahiko laughed as Sanosuke struggled down the street with Kaoru on his back. Sanosuke had been 'volunteered' by Yahiko and Kenshin for the duty and he didn't like it.
"When we get to the bridge, the first thing I'm gonna do is drop you and then jump right into the river to wash off. And then take a bath."
"There's no point in complaining about it Sanosuke, besides we're almost there now."
"I can't trust you guys. Yahiko would lie to further my suffering and your eyes can't judge distances anymore Kenshin. On the way back _you_ three are carrying _me_!"
While the laughing group headed onwards, a face peered from around a shaded corner. Their owner was concealed under a tightly wrapped cloak, somehow able to bear the heat under all that black cloth.
"So then, at last I've finally found you…"
