Kagome glared at the two boys on her tennis courts, "What's going on?!"

"...ah...uh,"

"Get off of my courts! I do not condone fighting of any kind on these courts, or around my girls, if you have a problem you can't take it off court grounds or you can take your aggression on one another out in a match, but do it on your courts, and not mine!" She was beyond irritated at having her girls interrupted during their morning practice, by a loud second year and a bandana wearing, hissing second year. She was pissed, actually. She had gone to talk with Coach Ryuuzaki concerning a matter of barrowing the tennis bus for the boys, and while gone, the two had accidently wandered onto the wrong courts, so into their fight, that they didn't realize the disturbance they were causing. "Go..." She softly, her eyes speaking volumes more than her voice. She watched the two turn and run off the court, in the bandana's case, he walked off in a hunch, hissing at her girls as they avoided getting in his way.

"Nai...Senpai,"

Kagome turned to see one of her girls staring at the ground somewhat put out. She looked down and snarled viciously. "I'll be back, I want you girls to go ahead and stretch, the run ten laps, I'll be back with the cleanup crew in a few moments."

"HAI, Higurashi-Senpai!"

-x-x-x-

Tezuka walked onto the court and noticed his regulars and the other tennis players were standing and staring to the side of the court where he himself stood, only a few feet further in. He followed their eyes and sighed, walking forward, he stood beside the cause of silence and laziness on his courts. "Higurashi...is something wrong?"

Kagome turned angry and hateful eyes on him and he actually took a small step back at the fierce look she gave him. "Yes, actually. A Monkey and Snake wreaked havoc on my courts with a fight that should never have taken place there, I would appreciate them returning to clean up their mess, so that the girls can return to their practice."

"..." Tezuka closed his eyes and sighed, "Understood," his eyes snapped open from behind his glasses and he looked in the direction of the guilty duo that turned and looked away guiltily. "Momoshiro, Kaidou...come here."

"...hai, Buchou,"

Kagome watched both boys run over to them and smiled sweetly up at Tezuka, "I would also like permission to inflict my own punishment on the two, since the deed was done on my courts."

Tezuka turned his eyes on Kagome and frowned, "You're asking for a lot, this will interrupt their training."

Kagome laughed, "Trust me, it'll be training, and by the time I'm done with said training, these two will never step foot on my courts again, and will only be too happy to run however many laps you want them to."

Tezuka looked the two boys over and nodded, "Fine, send them back when you're done with them."

"Hai, Hai...Buchou~"

Tezuka tilted his head down as he walked off to conceal the light shade of pink that went unnoticed by Kagome, Kaidou and Momo, but not the two regulars watching nearby, the interaction between their Captain and their best friend.

-x-x-x-

"Eh..., did you see, Fujiko?"

"...saa...seems like Tezuka is affected by Kagome's playfulness too."

"Too?"

"Mm, though she rarely shows that side, when she does, most of the guys get flushed from that side of her."

"Teehee~"

Fuji looked at his grinning friend and smiled, "Shall we play with him?"

"Yeah, I want to play with Buchou, Nya~!"

-x-x-x-

Kagome pointed to the court and the two looked at the balls which they'd knocked over in their scuffle earlier that morning, sighing, both went to work picking up the balls.

"This never would have happened had you not been messing with my concentration this morning, fshh~"

"Ehh!? Are you saying this is all my fault!?"

Kagome glared at the duo and tossed two balls into the air together, hitting both at the same time, she aimed for both their heads, "HEY!"

They both turned in time to have a ball hit them dead in the face, knocking them both onto their backsides as it did.

"...finish picking up the balls, I want my girls to be able to return as soon as they are done with their laps. You have ten minutes at tops! GO!"

Both Kaidou and Momo started to run about the court in every which way, picking up balls as if their life depended on it, and in a way, they honestly thought that their lives, did in fact, depend on picking up the balls.

"Sakuno!"

"H-Hai~!" The girl stood alert nervously as she trembled under the fierce look of her coach.

"Where were you?" Kagome sighed, asking in a softer, and much calmer tenor.

"A-at the boys courts...I was watching the games...t-trying to l-learn..."

"Sakuno, if you are so uncertain of my own teaching abilities, then right here, right now, cut off your hair, change into the boys' uniform, and join the ranks of Tezuka's boys! If you would like to learn the same way everyone else is, then please join the other girls, and start with ten laps!"

Sakuno looked slightly nervous, her body draining color at the irritable Kagome, but she gave a nervous nod and started running.

"Oi!"

Kagome turned to see a ball being thrown in her direction; she raised her racquet and hit it into the basket Momo was holding.

"AH!?" He looked surprised and turned his eyes back to her and away from the ball he'd thrown in her direction to catch her attention. "W-we finished picking up the balls, is that it?"

"Fshhh!"

Kagome laughed, "Not quite, I'm going to be in charge of your training until I send you back to Tezuka, you can call me Buchou-Chan, kay?" She winked cutely at the two causing them both to blush and turn away. "Grab a basket of balls," she told Kaidou, Momoshiro already had one. "I want you both to hold them over your heads and run ten laps like that."

"That's not going to be too difficult," Momoshiro laughed as he held a basket over his head.

Kagome smiled, 'I'm sure it won't be...' she grabbed a bag on the court an motioned for them to come up to her, as they did, she pulled four wrist weights from the bag and tossed two of them into each of their baskets. "You can start your ten laps now,"

"Fshhh~"

Both boys started on their laps as the girls finished theirs; all but Sakuno was still running. "Go ahead and grab a partner, I want you to start with a practice set of overhead volleys. Regulars, I want you on courts three, four! Everyone else, courts one and two!"

"HAI-SENPAI!"

"Nai, Kagome..."

Kagome turned to see a girl with long black and brown eyes, a soft frown on her face and bored look in her eyes as she glanced past Kagome to the boys on the second lap. "Hm? What is it Nee-Chan?"

"Ah...I was curious about the disturbance running around the courts,"

"Oh, I'll deal with them, I don't plan on sending them back to Tezuka-Senpai unless it's with broken arms or bruised egos. Something's got to give..."

Kikyou smirked, "Sounds nice; come hit with me,"

"Mm...hai, hai!" Kagome smiled, following her sister to court three where the other Regulars were stretching. "Doubles?"

"Yeah,"

"Right, Kagura, Kanna, both of you get ready, we're going to practice doubles."

"Eh? Kanna and me?" Kagura frowned, "I'm a singles player, Buchou..."

"Now you're a doubles, we have a competition coming up this week, are you going to be attending, Kagura, or will I need to find a replacement?" Kagome bounced the ball a few times before looking Kagura in the eyes, a small smirk on her lips, "Besides, I thought you were too prideful to turn away a direct challenge."

Kagura frowned, "I am, and I won't! Kanna, come on!" She grabbed her racquet and made her way to the court on the other side of the net where she and her younger sister faced their captain and her older twin.

"I'll play referee!" Another girl cried out happily as she pulled her red hair into two pigtails and brushed her hair over her shoulders. "Buchou and Kikyou-Senpai, against Kanna-Chan and Kagura-Senpai! Call smooth or rough!"

"Kikyou?"

"Smooth..."

"Rough," Kagura responded.

Kagome twirled her racquet and they watched it land, "Smooth...you can serve."

"Hai!" Kagura caught the ball her Buchou hit to her, and smiled, "We'll win this match, Buchou!"

"We will see...you four, go ahead and double up on the other court,"

"Hai!"

-x-x-x-

Momo stopped running as he tried to catch his breath, leaning against the fence as he did, he saw Kaidou running up with a slight sheen of sweat on his own face. "Geez...this is harder to do than I thought, I owe that girl an apology." He huffed out.

"Fshh!"

Momo rolled his eyes, "Ah, you feel it too, it burns holding this over my head for so long, and were only on our sixth lap, four more to go..."

"Hm, it's harder, the weights apply pressure too, and that isn't counting the tennis balls, and the basket, fshh~"

-x-x-x-

Kagome looked over and saw the boys were talking, instead of running, turning from the game, she took a ball and hit it hard, tilting her racquet as she did and bringing her racquet up in an arch, she watched it spin in a violent spiral before hitting the fence and successfully getting stuck in the metal lattice of the fence and scaring both boys into a jump. "Since you have time to talk you have time to run, Add ten more laps to the remaining few you had left! RUN!"

Both jumped into action and started to run. Kagome turned back to the match and huffed out irritably, "I'll tie a ball and chain to them if this is what they're going to be like."

Kikyou laughed, "Score if fifteen all,"

"Right," She watched Kagura toss the ball up before she brought her racquet down hard on the ball, "I got this one,"

"Understood,"

The two switched sides on the court, Kagome brought her racquet out before her and hit the ball back, Kanna returned it and as the ball made to pass her, Kagome brought her arm back behind her and returned the ball with her eyes shut, smiling as it hit the ground on the other side and bounced out of the court.

"Thirty – fifteen, Kagome and Kikyou leads!"

Me: Here is the second chapter, hope you all like it! I actually made a mistake when writing, I was typing, and the two girls I take care of watch Sailor Moon, so while I was upstairs, I heard Sailor Moon.

Momo stopped running as he tried to catch his breath, leaning against the fence as he did, he saw Tuxedo Mask running~

That's what I wrote before I fixed it, lol. Anyways...if you want updates, for any of my stories, you need to review those stories, I won't update anything anymore, if I get less than ten reviews for each chapter. I love writing, but I feel like no one is reading what I write.
