Chapter two:

Bastard of A Basketball Coach

"Alright," Inuyasha yelled. "Run drill three!"

Inuyasha crossed his arms and stood in the center of the gym, watching the boys run the drill. There were three groups of boys at three different goals. Inuyasha Tashioma was a basketball coach. Basketball is and always has been a big part of his life. You could always find him on the courts and if he's not there, then he's working on his car, Tetsusaiga. He coached boys ranging from the ages of six to eighteen. He considered teaching girls once, but soon came to the conclusion that they were too sensitive. Inuyasha ran a clawed hand through his silvery-white hair and sighed.

"Alright, boys, that's enough!" Inuyasha said. "Get outta here. I'll see you tomorrow. Seven o'clock sharp!"

The boys dropped the balls and ran for the exit. Inuyasha stretched his arm out, stopping one of the boys in mid-step. The boy looked to be about eight. He had orange hair in a ponytail, big green eyes, a bushy yellow tail, and pawed feet. He looked up at Inuyasha.

"Snag'em and bag'em, Shippo," Inuyasha said, handing Shippo a net.

Shippo growled and snatched the net from Inuyasha. He turned and went to gather up the stray balls. Inuyasha smirked as he watched the grumbling kitsune.

"A little hard on the kid, aren't ya'?"

The two white dog ears on Inuyasha's head twitched. He knew that voice. Inuyasha turned and grinned at his best friend, Miroku Houshi. Miroku had purple eyes and short black hair in a ponytail. He put his hands in his pockets.

"I don't think so," Inuyasha said.

Shippo dragged the bag over to Inuyasha. Inuyasha grabbed the bag from him. Shippo growled once more and headed for the door. Inuyasha lifted the bag onto his shoulder.

"Thanks, squirt," Inuyasha grinned.

"Whatever," Shippo muttered, running to his ride.

Inuyasha grinned and tossed the bag into the closet. He closed the closet and turned to Miroku.

"He doesn't seem to like you," Miroku grinned.

"Keh," Inuyasha said. "Like I care."

Inuyasha grabbed his basketball of the bleachers, turned off the gym lights, and followed Miroku outside. He locked up the building and followed behind Miroku to his car. Miroku opened his door and unlocked the passenger side. The two got into the car and Miroku started it up.

"How can you work with kids, if you don't like them?" Miroku asked, pulling out the parking lot.

"No one said I had to like the brats," Inuyasha stated, crossing his arms.

"No one said you had to be an ass either," Miroku muttered, "but that don't stop you."

"What was that?" Inuyasha growled, narrowing his golden eyes.

"Oh, nothing," Miroku said. "Say, when was the last time you went on a date?"

"Why?" Inuyasha questioned.

"Just thought I should ask," Miroku said, pulling into Inuyasha's driveway.

"I told you," Inuyasha said, getting out of the car, "I'm not getting into anymore relationships. So don't go settin' me up."

"Alright, fine," Miroku said. "You can tell Spaulding you're all hers."

"Spaulding?" Inuyasha asked.

Miroku nodded towards the ball in Inuyasha's hands. Inuyasha looked down. With a growl, he extracted his claws.

"I'm gonna kill you!" he snarled.

"Relax, I'm kidding," Miroku said. "Bastard of a basketball coach."

"What did you say?" Inuyasha snarled.

Miroku grinned, gave a two-finger salute, and sped off. Damn Spaulding jokes. He thought as he walked up to his house. He couldn't wait to get his car fixed. The sooner, the better.
