Kenshin awoke, but did not open his eyes. Instead he relaxed his body into a state of partial awareness, taking in the sounds of songbirds and the smell of white plum outside his window in the dojo. He let out an elongated sigh and enjoyed the tranquil setting.
"Kenshin!"
.never mind, no more tranquil setting.
"Kenshin get out of bed! We've got to catch our train to Kyoto!" Kaoru yelled, waving her hands in front of Kenshin's doorway.
"Oh yes, I had forgotten, that I did Miss Kaoru." He said in his usual cheery manner. He and his friends were to travel to Kyoto today to visit the friends they had left a few years back, after Kenshin defeated Shishio and saved Japan's future from tyranny.
"Misao is going to meet us there and she'll be furious if we miss our train and have to wait for the next one." Kaoru continued as she ran to finish her packing.
Kenshin stumbled over the covers to get up and pull his trousers of when Sanosuke and Yahiko passed by, Yahiko virtually dragging Sano behind him by the fingers. "I don't want to go! I'm not going on another train!" Sano wailed, but Yahiko ignored his pleas to let go. Kenshin finished dressing himself and placed a few extra pairs of clothing into a bag to take along with him, then picked up his sword with his free hand and walked out of the room. Just as Kaoru rounded the corner.
"Kenshin come on! We're late!" she exclaimed, taking his reverse- blade sword from him and shoving it in its place at his side and grabbed his wrist. "Let's go!"
The group of friends ran to the station, and arrived just in time. The ride was late in the evening and they were shown to the rooms in which they'd be sleeping in on the train.
"We're going to sleep on this thing!?" Sano exclaimed.
"Yes." Kaoru said pointedly. "And don't you dare think of jumping off this train."
Kenshin smiled at his friends, and even though he had taken a good, long nap before the train ride, he readily fell asleep again.

Author's Note: Yes, yes it was short, but hey, short story, short chapters I guess.
